Free Republic

[Note: This post uses heavy video content.] We need to all understand that what is happening in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Detroit, with Democrat officials refusing to allow GOP election observers access to the vote-counting process really, truly does take our country into true third-world banana republic status. America sends election observers into third-world countries all the time to help try to ensure a true democratic process takes place, and anywhere their access is denied, that country’s government becomes subject to U.S. sanctions and condemnation in world forums like the United Nations. But here we are in by-God America, dealing...

A Paris criminal court sentenced a 29-year-old Algerian man Thursday to life in prison for killing a woman and trying to bomb a church near the French capital in a failed 2015 attack that investigators said was plotted by Islamic State group extremists in Syria. The court imposed the sentence after a jury convicted Sidi Ahmed Ghlam on charges of murder and attempted terrorist murder. The life sentence allows no chance for parole for at least 22 years. Ghlam testified at his trial that at the time of the alleged crimes he had “embraced” IS ideology. He expressed regret over...

I’m a big believer in dealing with things from a standpoint of reality, and this ongoing vote “counting” in which the President’s leads in several key states just continue to steadily disappear is no different. There are several items of reality we all must acknowledge and deal with. So, let’s get started: The first reality is that we all knew this was going to happen months ago, and so did everyone in the Republican Party. Yet, the GOP obviously had no plan whatsoever in place to deal with this reality as Election Day dawned, and frankly, neither did the Trump...

As the votes continue to be counted in swing states, Joe Biden has the best chance to become the next President. But the closer we inspect the nationwide election returns, the more the result looks like a defeat for the rest of his Democratic Party and especially for the progressive agenda. Mr. Biden would take office without a mandate beyond addressing Covid-19 and not being Donald J. Trump. Mr. Biden will win the popular vote, and he may eke out a narrow win in the Electoral College. In essence he’ll have reversed Mr. Trump’s victory in 2016 with hair’s-breath advantages...

The Sower (at Sunset), Vincent Van Gogh Septacemia: A Parable As told by MathMom… MathMom wrote this in response to God Sometimes Answers Prayer In Strange Ways. It is illustrative of the theme and provides a concrete suggestion for something we can all do to stem the harm from our current case of septacemia. I have written my septicemia story before here, but I think I'll repeat it again. MathMan needed a heart transplant, urgently, but weighed about 220 lbs. He needed to get down to 180 to be able to find a heart that would be strong enough to...

Caroline GlickJNS) Without knowing the results of the U.S. presidential elections, certain conclusions can already be drawn safely. For instance, we can say with certainty that between 70 and 80 percent of American Jews voted for former Vice President Joe Biden. On the face of things, American Jews could have been expected to vote in the same proportion, in the exact opposite direction. After all, from Britain to France to Australia, in recent decades, Jewish communities in advanced industrial democracies have moved from left to right. Their move came in response to the transformation of their traditional political homes into...

Donald Trump over-performed the polls and shocked the pundits again on Tuesday, getting so close to the finish line that several key states have yet to be called. This is a significant achievement, and even if he doesn’t ultimately win, Republicans have a strong chance of holding the Senate and defanging a Biden presidency from the outset. But beginning late on election night, Trump has reminded everyone how he’s always refused to conform himself to the institution of the presidency, a fact that helped repel suburban and college-educated voters, perhaps dooming his reelection bid. In his 2:30 a.m. appearance before...

Instead of being mere bystanders to this OBVIOUS election steal, there is something we can ALL do right now: Contact the Republican state legislators of AZ, GA, NC, PA, MI, and WI. They MUST be made aware of both our outrage and their Constitutional power in the choosing of electors. Here is part of what Daniel Horowitz has stated in "How Republican-controlled state legislatures can rectify election fraud committed by courts and governors". Who determines the outcome of the presidential election in a given state? Governors? Secretaries of state or boards of election superintendents? The courts? Fox News' decision desk?...

Joe Biden has faced many tragedies in his personal life. But if he wins the presidency today, he will have been the luckiest politician in American history. 1972: Biden only wins his first Senate race in Delaware after Richard Nixon misguidedly convinces incumbent J. Caleb Boggs, who had announced he would be retiring, to run again. It is also the first Senate election in which 18-year-olds could vote. Biden's argument: Boggs, at the age of 63 -- 14 years younger than Biden is today -- was over the hill. The timing worked out well for the then-unknown candidate, who thereafter...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants had a stark warning for Democrats on Thursday: Swing too far left and they’re all but certain to blow their chances in the Georgia runoff that will determine which party controls the Senate. Congressional Democrats are collectively pinning their hopes on a pair of Senate races in January in one of the most competitive states in the nation — an outcome that could determine whether Democrats hold all levers of power in Washington next year, despite a disappointing night on Tuesday.

Philadelphia police are investigating an alleged plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia on Thursday night. Action News has learned that police got a tip about a group driving up from Virginia in a Hummer to unleash an attack at the Convention Center where votes are being counted in Philadelphia. Police tell Action News they found a weapon and two people were transferred to Central Detectives. However, it's unclear how or if the people are connected to the investigation. Early Friday morning, the Hummer was still on 13th Street near Vine. The vehicle had a window sticker and...

Regardless of the outcome, Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Tom Wolf, the Pennsylvania state courts and the Democrat State Party have pulled every dirty trick in the books. They have changed the rules mid-game, using COVID scare as a cover, but their chicanery is so overt, the curtain has been pulled back on their thug tactics. First, months out, they claimed they would need three extra days to count the votes. Then, against all extant state laws, they said they would accept illegible or ballots with no security envelope postmark. Then, incredibly they said a voter’s signature on the mail-in ballot didn’t...

Has anyone heard of reports from Trump voters reporting that they were given a “special sharpie” and ordered by poll workers to use THEIR “special sharpie” and not the ball point pens provided by Trump campaign? The argument is that the “Sharpie” ballots were being discarded and NOT counted Using a pen instead of the “approved sharpie” would make it impossible to substitute those ballots for fraudulent ones in the event of a manual recount. Fact or fiction ?

Several US TV networks late Thursday halted live coverage of Donald Trump's first public appearance since election night after concluding that the president was spreading disinformation. "OK, here we are again in the unusual position of not only interrupting the president of the United States but correcting the president of the United States," said MSNBC anchor Brian Williams, as the network quickly ended its live coverage. NBC and ABC News also pulled the plug on their live coverage of Trump. "What a sad night for the United States of America to hear their president say that, to falsely accuse people...

November 5 is Guy Fawkes Day in England, which commemorates a failed plot to subvert the government by blowing up parliament in 1605. In America, the fifth of November yielded its share of plots too. This post summarizes some of the many examples of alleged voter fraud in Democrat-run swing states or districts. Arizona: A voter filed a lawsuit claiming that a poll worker gave her a Sharpie to complete her ballot. When the ballot box failed to register her vote, the poll worker refused to give her a new ballot. Georgia: Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on Thursday...

As of this writing, the presidential race has not been called for either President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden. Not that it actually matters; regardless of whether the hopelessly corrupted political press deems either candidate to have attained the requisite 270 Electoral College votes, the election battle is just beginning. Gird your loins. All summer, as it became clear that Democratic activists throughout the country were seeking to change election laws midstream to provide for mass mail-in voting, the likes of which our republic has never seen, conservatives and other defenders of a secure and durable franchise...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Democrats spent $50 million trying to win control of state legislatures in 2020, but the effort mostly failed, cementing regional power in their more conservative Republican opponents over such issues as abortion, education and criminal justice. The losses also mean that in most of the 29 states with Republican-controlled legislatures, Democrats will not have a say in how Congressional districts are drawn when the once-a-decade process kicks off in 2021. That will make it more difficult for voters in more liberal areas of those states to elect their party’s candidates to both the House of Representatives and...

Dick Morris, as might be expected, has hit on an interesting, and perhaps crucial, element concerning the attempted electoral coup. It seems that virtually all the battleground states – Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, have GOP legislatures. This is a factor that has escaped most other commentators, and certainly seems like a game changer. These worthies have, up until this point “been sitting on their butts,” as Morris puts it. Most of them are out of session and doing whatever it is politicians do when they aren’t busy spending the people’s money. But it seems that...

A long time ago, when free elections were still a staple of American government along with the peaceful transition of power, a former U.S. president named George H.W. Bush was mulling over how to respond to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. Should he rescue Kuwait or keep American noses clean, allowing Saddam’s aggression to take its course? Margaret Thatcher gave Bush a few words, now a famous quote, “Remember George, this is no time to go wobbly.” Today this advice goes to Trumpsters reeling over a banana republic attempt to steal a presidential election playing out before...
