Free Republic

Second Amendment rights, indeed all rights in the Bill of Rights, appear to be up for grabs in this election. The election results are hotly contested, especially the accuracy and dependability of Dominion voting systems. A number of reports are circulating around the internet, suggesting that Nevada Dominion vote-counting machines have produced similar results to those seen in an Antrim County Michigan forensic audit.A recap of the Antrim County, Michigan, forensic audit:Only one county's Dominion voting machines appear to have been subjected to a forensic audit. The machines in Antrim County, Michigan were audited as part of an inquiry ordered...

The Democrats seem to be in a contest for who can come up with the dumbest, most absurd ideas for handling the China Virus. The latest comes from failed Presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who I once had a tiny amount of respect for. Yang took to twitter to announce his stupidity by suggesting that we use barcodes to identify Americans who have been vaccinated. Brilliant!

Georgia Senate Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff has a few words for anyone wondering about where he got all of his money and the finances of his film production company. That’s none of your business. This beacon of transparency who would like to replace Republican David Perdue in the upper chamber has faced questions recently about payments made to Insight TWI, his movie company, from Asian interests with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. After initially fessing up to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about one payment that somehow failed to show up on his initial campaign finance filing, reporters sought more information....

California has recorded half a million coronavirus cases in the last two weeks and could have nearly 100,000 hospitalizations in the next month. Gov. Gavin Newsom acknowledged Monday that a state projection model shows hospitalizations in that range and that he’s likely to extend his stay-at-home order for much of the state. Originally set for three weeks, the state-mandated shutdown in Southern California was set to expire Dec. 28, according to the California Department of Public Health.

Christopher Langan is well renowned as the Smartest Man in America and indeed perhaps the world. Now, he’s railing against the alleged election fraud that “delivered” the race for Joe Biden. Langan, 68, tweeted this week: “Many citizens, including me, won’t accept cheating scoundrels like Biden or Harris as leaders. Best get ready for trouble.”

The owner of a gas station that was at the center of racial controversy is now selling his business. Following 66 days of non-stop demonstrations outside the Exxon gas station off Flat Shoals Rd, organizer Joe Jones is pleased that the owner is planning to sell. “We sent a clear message that we will no longer tolerate disrespect,” Jones said. Protests started in mid-October after a clerk at the store was caught on camera saying, “I don’t give a [expletive] about the Black neighborhood.” The store’s owner, Rahim Sivji, apologized and parted ways with the clerk. However, Jones said they...

Protesters call for Gov. Gavin Newsom's recall, heckle the media, defy curfew orders and sing a few Christmas carols in a “Carols for Freedom” demonstration outside the governor's home in Fair Oaks on Friday, Dec. 18, 2020.

Georgia’s Elections Manager Gabriel Sterling has been dismissive of the idea there was fraud involved in the Georgia election. In fact, Sterling, who has a history of anti-Trump comments, slammed Trump and Republicans in a December 1 press conference over efforts to challenge the vote. However, Sterling’s tune changed when the fraud hit his doorstep. Sterling says the woman he bought his house from used his address to secure and submit an absentee ballot. He’s filed an official challenge to “stop her from casting an apparently illegal vote. I’d show you his tweet about it, but it’s now blocked. But...

For decades, we’ve been trained to believe that live sporting events must be broadcast a certain way. Namely, that they should be called and analyzed by an overwhelmingly white, almost exclusively male cadre of voices. They’re mostly measured, but they dutifully get excited at the “proper” moments. Into this fray has stepped someone who doesn’t look or sound like pretty much anyone else in sports broadcasting booths: Aqib Talib. Talib has been in the booth for two Fox games this season. I covered Talib while he was with the New England Patriots and he was unlike any player who passed...

Explanation: Big, beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 1055 is a dominant member of a small galaxy group a mere 60 million light-years away toward the aquatically intimidating constellation Cetus. Seen edge-on, the island universe spans over 100,000 light-years, a little larger than our own Milky Way galaxy. The colorful, spiky stars decorating this cosmic portrait of NGC 1055 are in the foreground, well within the Milky Way. But the telltale pinkish star forming regions are scattered through winding dust lanes along the distant galaxy's thin disk. With a smattering of even more distant background galaxies, the deep image also reveals a...

There’s been a huge amount of concern this year about the security implications of technology that originates in China or is owned by Chinese companies. That was, after all, at the heart of the fight by the Trump Administration to ban the popular social networking app TikTok, or at least to force a sale of it. The U.S. government has also cracked down on the manufacturers Huawei and ZTE, and the omnibus/coronavirus rescue package recently passed by Congress even included $1.9 billion to help companies remove equipment from those two companies. Recently, a pair of security researchers raised the alarm...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has placed himself in opposition to President Trump, putting the Republican party in a very uncomfortable position. One America’s Chanel Rion has more. (video)

TO: Hon. Brian Kemp Governor of The State of Georgia 404-656-1776 brian.kemp@georgia.gov Freepers should demand that you call a special session of the Georgia legislature to evaluate the election results. An overwhelming number of Republican voters are saying that you have something to hide. Maybe you do not, but your reluctance to call a special session has soiled your reputation and most of your party membership who believe the election was stolen will continue to bear witness until Trump returns to office. Your motives are being questioned. They believe that sufficient election irregularities cast doubt on the outcome of the...

While orbiting the Moon on Apollo 8, Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968, William Anders said, "We are now approaching lunar sunrise and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light and there was light. And God saw the light,...

Im spending christmas at the hospital. Theyre admitting me today. I dont want to say why because I'd rather keep my medical issues private. Never spent christmas day laid up in the hospital before in my life. Thats something I saw happening before only in fictional tv sitcoms.

For months, we've been lectured to by the political elites that cases of coronavirus are spreading too quickly and that we must wear masks to stop the spread. The obvious fault with their act of desperation is that they can no longer mask the fact that most parts of the country have already been fully masked for months — long before the ubiquitous spread this fall. Researchers at RationalGround.com, a clearinghouse of COVID-19 data trends run by a grassroots group of data analysts, computer scientists, and actuaries, did an analysis of all 50 states divided by those that had mask...

At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, a small group of disability rights advocates found itself in a race against time to save the life of a woman with an intellectual disability. The woman was taken to the hospital with COVID-19. But the hospital, in a small Oregon town, denied the ventilator she needed. Instead, a doctor, citing her "low quality of life," wanted her to sign a legal form to allow the hospital to deny her care. Out of that quiet fight in early spring, the advocates — staff at a disability rights legal group, a state lawmaker and...

A study published this month in the American Medical Association's JAMA Network Open journal has offered further evidence that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 may be significantly lower than previously thought. Fears of COVID-19 spreading asymptomatically have persisted since shortly after the beginning of the pandemic. Many public health authorities in the United States and elsewhere initially argued that only those individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 should take precautions such as wearing masks and staying at home. But fears that the virus may be spread to a significant degree by asymptomatic carriers soon led government leaders to issue broad and lengthy...

Merry Christmas! As I wrote in the new Judicial Watch book “ A Republic Under Assault,” Christmas 2020 finds the foundations of our republic under attack. So, at a time like this, it may be best to step back and try to focus our hearts and minds on things that unite us. As we do, I am reminded of one of my favorite stories from Christmas past. On Christmas Day, 1776, the American Revolution appeared to be dead. George Washington’s Continental Army had been driven out of New Jersey. The British and Hessian troops, who assumed the serious fighting was...
