Free Republic

Good ideas and bad ideas are free speech. That is a fact and Americans have believed in it for centuries. But now, posting about conservative ideas is not allowed. Because of social media censorship, The New York Post can no longer share its ideas on Twitter. I cannot. Thousands of other conservatives cannot. Who’s next? Breitbart? The Daily Wire? Fox News? Maybe even the Wall Street Journal? If no specific guidelines are given and every decision about who to censor is clouded in transparency, then how can we know who the social media censors will come for next?

Plenty of pollsters are predicting a “blue wave” this election, showing Joe Biden with a double-digit lead. But one respected pollster says those are “garbage” polls that appear intended to “suppress the vote.” Jim Lee with Susquehanna Polling and Research isn’t some hair-on-fire conservative, he’s just looking at the numbers. He says that the race right now in the Thunderdome-like state of Pennsylvania is a “dead heat,” but believes that if turn-out trends continue, Donald Trump will win a second term.Lee, who appeared on “Business Matters” on WFMZ was pinned down by host Tony Iannelli. LEE: I think it’s going...

 Image from lawsuit, public document, cropped and scaled by Dean Weingarten On 27 October, 2020,  Judge Christopher Murray, at the  Michigan Court of Claims, issued an opinion striking down Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's edict banning the open carry of guns at all polling places on election day. The edict was issued on 16 October.  Tom Lambert and several right to bear arms groups sued to stop the order extral-legal order on 22 October, 2020.

The European economy grew by an unexpectedly large 12.7% in the third quarter as companies reopened after severe coronavirus lockdowns, but the rebound is being overshadowed by worries that growing numbers of infections will cause a new downturn in the final months of the year. The upturn in the July-September quarter - and the worries about what’s ahead - echoed the situation in the United States, where re-openings led to strong third-quarter recovery but didn’t dispel fears for the winter months. The European rebound, reflected in figures released Friday by EU statistics agency Eurostat, was the largest increase since statistics...

Article Dig In The family of the Delaware shop owner who says he came into possession of a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden first tried to turn over the computer to the FBI in summer 2019 but was rebuffed, only to have agents return months later during President Trump's impeachment proceedings, his lawyer said Thursday night. In a lengthy statement to Just the News, attorney Brian Della Rocca provided a detailed timeline of the actions his client, John Paul Mac Isaac, says he took in trying to get authorities to investigate the laptop. The lawyer also decried public figures...

'It is you, dear President, who are 'the one who opposes' the deep state, the final assault of the children of darkness,' His Excellency writes. 'Place your trust in the Lord.'OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DONALD J. TRUMP Sunday, October 25, 2020 Solemnity of Christ the KingMr. President, Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to...

Spoiler alert: I don’t think so. According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, however, nearly a third of black voters would vote to reelect President Trump “if the presidential election was held today.” Rasmussen often gets accused of being a pro-Trump poll, but the firm did accurately predict the 2016 election, so that has to count for something.According to Rasmussen’s latest 2020 election survey, Joe Biden has “a slight 48% to 47% lead over President Trump among Likely U.S. Voters,” and while both Trump and Biden have roughly equal support amongst their respective parties, Trump “leads by three points among voters...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Exodus 8The Plague of Flies 20 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the river and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. 21 If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with...

Asia Times reports on the Chinese Communist Party’s congress, which concludes today. The allegedly free but increasingly leftist U.S. media isn’t reporting much on it, which is interesting all by itself. Granted, foreign policy doesn’t drive as many sick burns or clicks as your average Instagram influencer, but it’s still important.Lately, a question about our media, and the Democrats it clearly favors at the expense of its own credibility, has slipped into my mind unbidden.When the Hunter Biden scandal first erupted, media, social media, and the Democrats attacked it in concert from three directions.Media and social media both acted to...

DETROIT - Every day feels like a raw wound for Omari Barksdale. His sister, Laneeka Barksdale, died of COVID-19 in late March in Detroit - and since then, so have more than 228,000 Americans. Many were Black Americans whose communities were disproportionately devastated by the virus. Omari Barksdale, a Black man, watched with alarm as the toll of the country’s racial injustice mounted. People of color bore the brunt of pandemic-related job losses. Police shot and killed Breonna Taylor inside her Kentucky home, and a Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee into George Floyd’s neck for nearly eight minutes as...

Donald Trump has criticized Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison as COVID-19 restrictions in the state have forced the Trump campaign to downsize a rally due to be held on Friday. The president's rally was originally planned for Rochester Airport, but reports on Thursday indicated that the campaign had moved the event to the property of two businesses in the city of Dodge Center. However, after some confusion, it was later announced that the rally would take place at the airport and that entry would be restricted to the first 250 people to arrive. -snip- In response...

Here we go, folks. This election will determine whether we continue on as a free Republic with the Constitution and the rule of law preserving our republican form of government as established and continue guaranteeing our God-given Liberty or we go Venezuela. If we lose this election, the radical socialist-democrats will attempt to impose their globalist Green New Deal and carry out their plans to pack the courts and do what they wish as a godless one-party state with no constitutional constraints. Then (assuming they were to succeed in subduing we the people--we do have a prior and higher claim...

Before Trump took office, conventional wisdom was that American blacks would never vote Republican. As Lyndon Johnson reputedly said after passing the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have those n****** voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” It didn’t matter that Democrats broke their promises or that their policies worsened the plight of inner-city blacks. Black voters remained loyal. This year, though, after Trump spent four years making a positive difference for black America, blacks are breaking ranks and openly supporting President Trump. Thomas Sowell wrote in 2016, shortly before Trump was elected, “Black votes matter. If Republicans could get...

The media has, in one way or another, been forced to cover the surge in support for President Trump among black Americans. He has worked to improve their lives through Opportunity Zones, funding of historically black colleges and universities, criminal justice reform, and most recently, with his second term agenda for the economic empowerment of black Americans called the Platinum Plan.

Before the China virus, Democrats were hitting a wall with the upcoming 2020 election. President Trump looked invincible with his booming economy and "promises made, promises kept" routine. And they're stuck with their only "moderate" candidate, Joe Biden. How will anyone vote for Joe Biden, and how will half the electorate choose Joe? He's not an attractive, articulate candidate; he's a doddering old man who sadly mumbles through his faux rallies. But then Biden was a gaffe machine even before he drifted into senility. He has no big wins in his record and no vision for a Biden administration. And...

NFL legend Brett Favre has endorsed President Donald Trump for four more years. The Super Bowl champion and retired Green Bay Packers gunslinger tweeted his endorsement for Trump Friday morning and wrote, “My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech & religion, 2nd Amnd, hard working tax paying citizens, police & military. In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me & these principles, my Vote is for @RealDonaldTrump.”

If the final election returns, when they finally come in, match the current polls, Joe Biden's Democrats will win a trifecta: the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress. Biden currently leads Donald Trump 51% to 44% in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls and leads by a smaller margin of 49% to 46% in six target states. Current polling shows Democrats leading in races that would give them a 51-49 majority in the Senate, and they seem well positioned to hold their majority in the House. Of course, those numbers are not etched in stone. Plenty of...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she’s still hoping to clinch a massive coronavirus relief deal with the White House before the end of the year, despite predicting a sweeping Joe Biden victory next week that could deliver Democrats control of Washington in January. “I feel very confident that Joe Biden will be elected president on Tuesday,” Pelosi told reporters at her last weekly press conference before the Nov. 3 election. “We want to have as clean a slate as possible going into January.” Democrats have been unsuccessfully pushing a trillion-dollar-plus stimulus package for months. And while Pelosi has insisted she...

BULVERDE, Texas — Texas Republicans remain bullish that President Trump will repeat his 2016 win here next week. But they warn the party nonetheless has a lot of work to do in the coming years as Democrats continue to make inroads across the state, especially in suburban areas. For two cycles now, Texas Republicans have watched as Democrats picked off long-held GOP House seats in the Dallas and Houston suburbs, with the minority party continuing to go on offense in a number of seats few saw as possible pick-up opportunities years ago. This has set off alarm bells for party...
