Free Republic

This is how elections are won. If you can't turn out the living, turn over the dead. Earlier this week, Davie resident Pete Fisher opened his mailbox and found three voter registration cards with his address and names of people he didn’t know. The registered Republican quickly learned that at least two of the people — including a 104-year-old — were dead. Even worse, he said the two were registered Republicans, but the cards listed the party affiliation as Democrat. “It looked like fraud to me,” he told the Miami Herald Friday. “This is a serious problem.” Democrats aren't getting...

Autonomous cars may be our future, but not many enthusiasts are excited by the prospect of watching driverless race cars go round a circuit. That’s mainly because taking human skills and error out of racing equates to turning motorsport into a “sanitized” discipline where there’s very little room for unpredictability. In plain English, autonomous car racing is boring to watch. Unless of course you take into account this accident involving a Roborace self-driving vehicle.

“I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes plus,” Gingrich said. “I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going to be terribly shocked.” WATCH CLIP....

Republican turnout is key to this election. I read a very detailed study once that showed Democrat turnout is nearly constant. No matter how hard they campaign or how much money they spent the turnout was always relatively the same. So the outcome of every election was decided by how many Republicans show up. If there is big Republican turnout they win. It is apathy that has allowed Democrat Socialists to get this far.

On the last day of early voting yesterday, Democrats managed to cast 1K more early votes than Republicans, ending the EV season with a 256K lead over the GOP. The black share of the vote broke a 5 day losing streak and slightly increased from 19.41% to 19.50%. But don't fret these results. Yesterday was the big "Souls to the Polls" day in NC and other states, whereas weekends have been low-turnout, softer turnout days for Rs. Interestingly, both Rs and Ds were out-voted yesterday by "unaffiliated" voters. Republicans did manage to cut 1/5 of a point from the Democrats...

Tourists visiting Thailand will soon be tracked with a new “Smart Band” for COVID contact tracing, according to a recent report from The Pattaya News, a trusted news source in South East Asia. The measure was recently approved by Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-O’Cha, and the development is being overseen by Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society. The agency will be collaborating with multiple Thailand-based startup companies on the new device and its operation. This month, foreign tourists were authorized to enter Thailand for the first time since the pandemic began under the Special Tourist Visa program. The incoming...

This is the article that Glenn Greenwald was trying to publish at the Intercept that lead him to be censored, which in turn lead to him resigning.

The Bible teaches that we can see the day of our Lord’s return approaching. It seems to me that the peace treaties in the Middle East, the opposition to those treaties by some of Israel’s enemies, the departure from the faith by Pope Francis, the attacks on freedom of religion and free speech, the lawlessness, and the increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters are sure signs that society is closing in on the Tribulation Period. Below are some of the things that have recently taken place. One, concerning peace in the Middle East, on Oct. 21, 2020,...

There has never been a clearer divide between the two major candidates running for president when it comes to their spiritual essence. The Republican incumbent, Donald Trump, never fails to utter the name of God in just about every campaign speech, while some Democrats blatantly removed His name from the Pledge of Allegiance at their convention this year. Who can forget that at the 2012 Democrat convention the crowd booed when God and Jerusalem were put back in the Democrat platform? In 2016, they heckled and jeered when a minister, Rev. Cynthia Hale, opened the convention with a Christian prayer...

Pro-Trump demonstrators have gathered outside the home of Attorney General Bill Barr, apparently to demand that he take action against the president's Democrat rivals. The group was spotted in McLean, Virginia on Saturday afternoon by a neighbor, who claimed they were there to express frustration that Barr is 'not doing enough to lock up Joe Biden,' according to Washington Post journalist Glen Kessler. The Justice Department said that Barr went outside to greet the crowd and chatted with them amiably, according to AP reporter Mike Balsamo. Photos show that one of the protesters had a white horse in the suburban...

Why Isn't Anyone Talking About Iranian Election Interference for Biden? Sun Nov 1, 2020 Daniel Greenfield The only election interference that the Democrats want to talk about is Russia, Russia, Russia. Meanwhile they're ignoring the warnings about Iran's election interference. Iranian hackers have been targeting U.S. state government websites in “an intentional effort to influence and interfere with the 2020 U.S. presidential election,” according to an investigation by the FBI and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The hackers have “successfully obtained voter registration data in at least one state,” the FBI and CISA advisory report published Friday said....

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Oct. 30, 1860. The publicity which has been given to the Disunion plot, which prominent Treasury officials, who enjoy the intimacy and confidence of the Secretary, have had the imprudence to reveal, gives great annoyance to that dignitary and his satellites. They are beginning to doubt the utility of the brag game, and to suspect that they may have overdone the matter. They find that the attempt to frighten the people into the support of the nominees of the disunion faction by threats of secession, is having an effect the very opposite of what was intended; and the...

Inmarsat is a satellite communication system that is likely to become obsolete once Elon Musk’s Starlink system is up and running. The differences go well beyond age and branding. Let’s learn more about the differences between the Starlink and Inmarsat antennas.

Following a King County Superior Court ruling last month, a right-wing recall petition is now in motion to remove Socialist Alternative member Kshama Sawant from her position on the Seattle City Council. Though nominally “grassroots” and “independent,” the initiative was launched by the Democratic Party and has attracted the support of Republicans and far-right forces. The Socialist Equality Party opposes the right-wing campaign to remove Sawant on the basis of trumped-up charges and overturn the result of democratic elections. Notwithstanding our fundamental political differences with Socialist Alternative, we maintain that Sawant has a right to serve in the office to...

U.S.—Business owners in Democrat-controlled cities are boarding up in preparation for an onslaught of mostly peaceful demonstrations should Trump win the election Tuesday. The real concern is that the party of love and tolerance loses the election.

Here’s the original thread. It unfortunately did not stimulate discussion as I had hoped, but c’est la vie on FR. Reminder: The GOP needs a net gain of only 17 seats to retire Nancy Pelosi as speaker.There are 30 Dem House representatives in districts Trump won. I keep hearing that the Dems are not only going to hold the House, but expand their majority. I find that hard to believe based on the below numbers. GOP advantages are the numbers shown below (30 Trump-district Dem seats to defend vs. 3 Clinton-district GOP seats), as well as having Trump on the...

An official at the Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed the existence of an active criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, son of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, and his associates. According to a source within the DOJ, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened the investigation in 2019. The probe is focused on allegations of money laundering and remains open to this day. Sinclair investigative reporter James Rosen, who also interviewed Tony Bobulinksi, the former business associate of Hunter Biden, provided the bombshell revelation.

When violence erupted in downtown Seattle in late May, Ed Little was disturbed by the images of looting and violence he saw on television. “I thought it was crazy. That shouldn’t be happening at all,” said Little, who believed that peaceful protests against police brutality were hijacked by criminals. Weeks later, there was a knock at the door of Little’s Everett apartment when police came to arrest his 25-year-old son and search the family’s apartment. “It’s hard to believe. We don’t know Jake like that. It’s not the kind of boy he is,” Little said. In September, federal prosecutors accused...

New England has produced some famous athletes: Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Tom Brady, Ted Williams. But Bobby Orr holds a special place in the hearts of sports lovers in New England -- especially those who watched Orr play for the Boston Bruins on those low-res TVs of the 60's and 70's. You see, as a kids growing up there, skating and ice hockey were rich personal experiences.  The many ponds and lakes in the region would freeze over in December, November, and January.  And all you needed to do was shovel way the snow on top and you had your...
