Free Republic

this is a hypothetical scenario, about how a civil war might start, which has been lurking in the back of my mind lately. i do not think it is the worst case scenario but it is still very scary and so of course i hope none of it happens. however by way of illustration i include some financial details along with the larger context of a situation which imho could in theory unravel relatively quickly-- basically before most people and institutions can react to protect their investments. now through jan. 17th - trump continues to test the boundaries, but gains...

For cultured meat—which has gone by many names including lab-grown meat, clean meat, or slaughter-free meat—the question has not been “if” but “when.” The development of growing animal cells into edible meat has continued, only the timeline was uncertain. Back in 2016, an Israeli company called SuperMeat even took a guess, suggesting their lab-grown chicken would be available by July 2021. Turns out they weren’t far off, but they also weren’t the first ones to get there. This weekend, Eat Just—which until recently was best known for its plant-based Just Egg—will become the first company in the world to have...

Fact checks on the United States' COVID vaccine timeline expose how outlets like NBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are willing to attack American aspirations to score political points.Long gone are the days of Snopes assuring readers there isn’t a million dollars waiting in a Nigerian bank account for them. Distant are the happier times when fact-checks assured us there was no hook-handed hitchhiker killing our grandparents on the local highway. Today, we see an alliance between corporate media and corporate tech titans to squelch debate, silence conservatives, and literally censor regular Americans, dissenting scientists, newspaper competitors,...

This is a time that could create heroes. The last bulwark against this travesty is congress. The Supreme court has totally abdicated it's duty, and Robert's name in the literature that follows such proceedings will treat him as a nonentity, or worse. Congress must act to reverse the election! Members of Congress who stand against this travesty will be heroes. Their names will be remembered, and they will deserve our support forever.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) blocked a bill that would prevent data brokers from selling or otherwise trading in the personal identifying information of federal judges spurred by the attempted assassination of U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas. Rand sought to amend the bill — dubbed Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act after Salas’s son, who was slain during the attack — to include similar protections for members of Congress. Mark Anderl, Salas’s husband, was wounded in the attack but has since recovered. “I really think that this is important that we protect addresses for our judges, but it’s...

The Trump administration has relaxed a regulation restricting water flow from showerheads, a pet peeve of President Donald Trump, who complained that he wanted more water to make his hair “perfect.” Since 1992, federal law has dictated that showerheads shouldn’t spew more than 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) of water a minute. As newer shower fixtures came out with multiple nozzles, the Obama administration updated the ruling, stating that 2.5 gallons was still the limit regardless of how many nozzles were running. The new ruling, issued on Tuesday, now says each showerhead can emit 2.5 gallons a minute. “So showerheads -...

In this satirical compilation, Paul Watson illustrates the extent to which society has surrendered their minds and wills to mass conformity without resistance to the point of mass madness. Don't miss it!

Vice president-elect Kamala Harris sat down for her first solo interview since the election. Harris, California’s junior senator since 2017, will be the first woman to ascend to the vice presidency. “I feel a very big sense of responsibility,” Harris said. “As I said recently, that I will be the first, but I will not be the last. I was raised by a mother who said that to me all the time. ‘Kamala, you may be the first to do many things. Make sure you are not the last.” Harris’ husband, entertainment attorney Doug Emhoff, will also be the first...

Hunter Biden, President-elect Joe Biden's son, is undergoing a tax investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware concerning Hunter's lucrative work with Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company on whose board Hunter sat, despite a lack of energy experience and the ability to speak Russian or Ukrainian. The Media Research Center claims eight news stories, ignored or downplayed by the mainstream media, could have changed the election in favor of President Donald Trump. Over 80% of Joe Biden voters, according to the MRC, were unaware of at least one or more of the eight stories, and "36 percent of Biden...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Isaiah 16:1-5 Send lambs as tribute to the ruler of the land, from Sela, across the desert, to the mount of Daughter Zion. 2 Like fluttering birds pushed from the nest, so are the women of Moab at the fords of the Arnon. 3 “Make up your mind,” Moab says. “Render a decision. Make your shadow like night— at high noon. Hide the fugitives, do not betray the refugees. 4 Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer.” The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction...

California governor hires Clinton mouthpiece Dee Dee Myers, previews Democrat platform for 2024. “He’s really smart. He’s a big and creative thinker, and I find that very energizing, to think about what’s possible.” That was Dee Dee Myers, upon her appointment as chief economic and business adviser to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Myers is the author of Why Women Should Rule the World, but best known as press secretary for President Bill Clinton. Californians have reason to wonder about “creative thinker” as an accurate description of the governor. On the other hand for Myers, “what’s possible” is Gov. Newsom as...

Lawsuit represents second Pennsylvania educator who recently sued former employers alleging First Amendment retaliation It appears school district officials Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, have a bit of a problem with public school educators who share conservative views on their personal social media accounts. The College Fix recently noted the story of Principal Amy Sacks of the Perkiomen Valley School District who was fired for posting conservative memes on her Facebook account. Sacks is suing for First and Fourteenth Amendment violations, as well as for political retaliation. Now, just a few miles away in the neighboring North Penn School District, a longtime...

It was once said of a famously vulnerable Senate candidate that, with respect to the opposition research that could be used against her in a campaign, “there’s a haystack of needles.” In other words, there was a wealth of material. This appears to be the case as well with Raphael Warnock, the candidate around whom Democratic voters consolidated during the Nov. 3 special Senate election in Georgia. We have written previously on the problems Warnock faced due to his warm feelings for Fidel Castro and his anti-Israel, pro-terrorist radicalism. We have mentioned his warm embrace of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright...

Ceremonies honoring the Wright brothers’ first flight will be held today for the first time ever as a joint ceremony between Ohio and North Carolina. Dayton’s Orville and Wilbur Wright sent a telegram from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina Dec. 17, 1903, writing of their success that day. In celebration of First Flight, various events and programming Thursday will be broadcast via livestream throughout the day from Ohio’s National Aviation Heritage Area, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, Wright Patterson Air Force Base and North Carolina’s First Flight Society, First Flight Foundation, Wright Brothers National Memorial and Outer Banks Forever....

More than a dozen House Republicans reached out to President Trump to urge him to veto a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill being hammered out in Congress, slamming it as an example of “swamp politics,” according to a report. The letter, sent to the White House on Wednesday and obtained by Fox News, calls it a “take-it-or-leave-it bill, negotiated behind closed doors” that “expands government, spends at record levels well above 2011 base cap levels, and funds unnecessary or even harmful federal programs.” Negotiations on the omnibus bill are expected to continue Thursday as Congress faces a midnight Friday deadline...

The two Republican candidates for the Senate seats in Georgia need to file suit now in every court in Georgia and Federal. They need to file a separate law suit for every issue they can think of such as the 85,000 new registered voters when only voters from the general election are allowed to vote in the runoff. Or the use of drop boxes which are passed the 120 day allowed period. Also, the use of the Dominion Voting System which has been demonstrated to be totally unreliable. Regarding the new registered voters, they need to ask these voters not...

The FBI "asked me to facilitate a bribe for her" amounting to $18 million on behalf of foreign government, he says Overstock CEO Dr. Patrick Byrne claimed the had FBI approached him to bribe Hillary Clinton in 2016 as part of a covert sting operation on behalf of former President Obama. Byrne recently explained in a “SteelTruth” interview with Ann Vandersteel how the FBI recruited him to help them carry out their sting operation against Clinton. “I bribed Hillary Clinton with $18 million. I facilitated a bribe for Hillary Clinton on January 14th 2016 right here in this town on...
