Free Republic

Excellent hearing happening right now. RSBN gets there early but if you go to around hour 1:04:36 when the first Republican Senator starts.

CNN sought to pull off an incredible double of pro-Biden partisanship on Wednesday morning's New Day. First, by fostering sympathy for the poor guy who may have just been made the most powerful person in the world. Then, somehow transforming his worst traits into wonderful qualities, that his gaffes are actually evidence of "empathy." [snip] CNN White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny engaged in some modern-day alchemy, magically transforming Biden's leaden gaffes into gold. Zeleny: "The country is going to see the person who many in Washington have known for a very long time. He’s steady, he’s measured, he doesn’t always...

Survey data from a March Pew poll indicates that white liberals disproportionately suffer from mental illness. Nearly half of self-identifying white liberals between the ages of 18 and 29 reported telling a doctor or a healthcare provider that they have a mental health condition. Only 20.9% of white conservatives in the same category reported as such. Answers on disclosing mental health conditions varied considerably by race, even in the “very liberal” category of poll respondents. 19% of “very liberal” Americans who didn’t identify as white reported disclosing a mental health condition to a healthcare provider, and a whopping 38% of...

CHINA is upping the stakes in the South China Sea region with the deployment of a massive amphibious assault vehicle capable of carrying almost 1,000 troops - with analysts suggesting it significantly enhanced Beijing's military power in the disputed waterway.The South China Sea, which China claims sovereignty of 90 percent of, is regarded as a potential major flashpoint with the West, with Beijing having fortified numerous islands there. The report, published on the website of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, was written by Matthew Funaiole, a Senior Fellow with the think tank's China Power Project, and Joseph Bermudez...

Speaking for progressives, Keith Olbermann says that they want to imprison Trump and every Trump supporter—so many that they’d have to build new buildings or convert Trump’s properties into prisons to fit everyone they want to imprison. pic.twitter.com/tkn2MaiuYM — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) November 25, 2020 Turn Trump Hotels Into Prisons Speaking for progressives, Keith Olbermann says that they want to imprison Trump and every Trump supporter — so many that they’d have to build new buildings or convert Trump’s properties into prisons.

The Trump administration has rejected a permit for the controversial Pebble Mine in Alaska, likely dealing the project’s final blow even before President-elect Joe Biden takes office.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Diego Maradona, the Argentine soccer great who scored the “Hand of God” goal in 1986 and led his country to that year's World Cup title before later struggling with cocaine use and obesity, has died. He was 60. A person close to Maradona said he died Wednesday of a heart attack. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. Maradona died two weeks after being released from a Buenos Aires hospital following brain surgery.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump should be investigated after he leaves office. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Mika, you know, President-elect Biden is already facing calls from some in the Democratic Party to investigate and prosecute President Trump. One of the senior prosecutors in the Mueller investigation just also came forward and said that the next attorney general should hold Trump accountable for any criminal behavior in office despite how divisive that could be for the country. What’s the best move for the sake of the country, in your opinion?

Liberal outlet Politico is already attempting to shield former Vice President Joe Biden from criticism of a potential economic failure by — wait for it — blaming President Donald Trump. The outlet’s story was pathetically headlined “Trump Strips Biden’s Options to Boost the Economy.” The main argument: “Joe Biden is entering the White House with big hopes of juicing the economy with new spending and a Federal Reserve ready to unleash its arsenal of lending programs to prevent the country from slipping back into a recession. He might get none of it.” Politico financial services reporter Victoria Guida alleged that...

New HBO documentary depicts parents propagandizing their children in radical gender theory and robbing them of life in their natural bodies.A new HBO documentary, titled “Transhood,” is pushing the limits of what America understands as the transgender rights movement. Following four so-called transgender children, aged 4, 7, 12, and 15, the documentary’s description says it demonstrates “how the kids are challenged and transformed as they experience the complexity of their identities.” While through the lens of leftist LGBT advocacy this might sound empowering, from a rational point of view, it is far from a positive development.In a scene shared by...

State legislators in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and other disputed states should declare openly, right now, that they will only accept a Joe Biden victory after a thorough and complete investigation of all potential voter fraud in every state where the electoral outcome is contested. Today a Pennsylvania judge ordered state officials to not certify the results of the 2020 election until her court holds a hearing on an election contest on Friday. Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough ordered the state to not take any further steps to complete the certification of the presidential race, which the state announced on Tuesday. She...

The Supreme Court has become notoriously skittish about Second Amendment cases in the years after Heller. That may change now after a Third Circuit ruling upheld a ban on firearm ownership for felons, even those convicted of non-violent crimes. In a 2-1 decision, the court ruled that a tax-evasion conviction was sufficient for a lifetime removal of Second Amendment rights: At issue in this case is the Second Amendment’s standing as an individual right, argues Jonathan Turley, the basis for the Heller decision. Folajtar “falls into the still grey area” of Heller, Turley writes, especially since the court recognized the...

Law enforcement will be “out in-force” as the holidays approach, stopping vehicles at certain New York City checkpoints, and there will be “consequences” for violating quarantine requirements, Sheriff Joseph Fucito said on Tuesday.

In its first court victory, a Nevada judge has agreed to let the Trump campaign present its evidence that fraud and illegalities plagued the state’s election, enough to reverse Joe Biden's win and set an example for other state challenges.

One of the most impossible acts for an unregenerate individual to do is to thank Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and since the majority of humanity rejects Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, how many billions of individuals are truly thankful to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR for His mercy and goodness to each one of us (Psalm 14, Rom.1:18-32; 10:2-4; 1 John 4:10)? Are you truly thankful in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God? It's easy to "praise" Almighty God and thank Him when everything seems to be going "our" way (Prov.14:.12). Apart from a saving relationship to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 3:16-17; 1...

“A right unexercised is a right lost” is the motto of many open-carry advocates. Newly-elected Congresswoman Lauren Boebert from Colorado wants to live the model — and do it on the grounds of the Capitol. Liberals and anti-gun nuts are having a cow because Rep. Boebert wants to wear a personal firearm when going to work. She apparently asked the Capitol Police about the law and was told that several members of Congress are already carrying. Capitol Police are not likely to reveal what they told Boebert. The Hill: Capitol Police did not release how many lawmakers carry weapons in...

Hosts of “Fox & Friends” said Wednesday that confusion about the presidential election — and the responsibility to clear up that confusion — lies squarely with President Donald Trump. “At some point, it’s going to be incumbent upon him” to acknowledge that Joe Biden has won the election and there was not widespread fraud that would overturn the results, Jedediah Bila said. “It’s going to fall on him. With great power comes great responsibility to say, ‘You know what? The process is done. This is the verdict. Let’s move on.'” Bila and co-host Steve Doocy both pointed out Trump’s responsibility...

... it appears that the only time people can infect others is when they have the virus for the first time, and only when they are symptomatic. Lock downs and the use of masks by the healthy accomplish nothing. All you need to do is quarantine the symptomatic patient, as human societies have been doing for centuries and centuries. ... wearing masks if you are healthy and not sick protects no one. Social distancing if you are not sick protects no one. Shutting down businesses, such as reducing capacities at restaurants so they can’t make a profit, protects no one....

(November 25, 2020, 12:18 PM EST) — A Pennsylvania judge has ordered the state to temporarily pause further action on certifying its 2020 election results until Friday, when her court will hold a hearing on a lawsuit seeking to declare all mail-in votes in the Keystone State unconstitutional. Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia A. McCullough entered a preliminary order Wednesday granting an evidentiary hearing on a lawsuit brought by Republican Congress member Mike Kelly, candidates Sean Parnell and Wanda Logan and five additional voters, who say Pennsylvania’s October 2019 expansion of “no-excuse” mail-in voting violated the state constitution’s limits on who...
