Free Republic

Not even a month into the new administration and already the press has a scandal to whitewash so Joe Biden’s tenure can be dubbed ‘’scandal free.” T.J. Ducklo, the Deputy Press Secretary, had a whirlwind week conclude with his resignation on Saturday. That much of this unspooled during the media vacuum of the weekend means it tamped down some of the press hysteria, so Joe Biden can take some comfort -- if he even noticed. As we will see, that is one of the questions.What played out over the course of a day or so exposes a contradiction to what...

Some blue-checkmark social-media influencer named Rob Gill caused quite a sensation on Twitter over the weekend for calling on Democrats to attack Republicans who voted to acquit Donald Trump. Huh. This isn’t quite the unity we were promised from the Left. PSA: Everyone MUST go after every senator who voted “Not Guilty”. [sic] Go after EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES. Scream at them at airports, call them at 3am, show up at their offices. #impeachment Gill’s attempt to channel Congresswoman Maxine Waters was highlighted on Twitter by videographer Elijah Schaffer, who has chronicled the Left at antifa and BLM...

Actor and former WWE superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has teased the possibility of a presidential run in the past, said he is still open to it and would consider running in the future “if that’s what the people wanted.” “I would consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted,” the Fast and the Furious star said. “Truly I mean that, and I’m not flippant in any way with my answer. That would be up to the people. … So I would wait, and I would listen. I would have my finger on the...

A Los Angeles County health inspector was captured on video dancing inside a brewery after incorrectly ordering the owner to close his doors on Super Bowl Sunday for violating COVID guidelines. Bart Avery, an owner of Bravery Brewery in Lancaster, California, told Fox News that the inspector came to the establishment around 11am on February 7. Avery claimed the inspector told an employee that the business was in violation of county guidelines because there was no food truck and needed to close just moments before she broke out in a dance.

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah took a break from mocking conservatives to launch a rare offensive against a fellow left winger — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who is facing a widening scandal over allegations that his administration covered up the extent of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes in order to avoid a federal investigation under the Trump administration.

Hey, some of you probably thought I was dead. Well, sorry, Democrats, no such luck. Didn’t have another heart event, didn’t contract the ‘rona, the website isn’t down again. So yay on all of that. What did happen, though, is we have no power at our home. Haven’t had any since 6:00 a.m. Monday, and it now looks like we won’t have any again until Friday at the earliest. In case you hadn’t heard, the entire state of Texas looks an awful lot like Alaska right now. Ok, well, West Texas looks more like South Dakota, but you get the...

CUMBERLAND, Maryland -- Had it not been for the kindness of strangers, Henry McCain would have died the way he led much of his adult life: cold, alone and without a blanket to cover his feet at night. Instead, McCain left this world not a nameless drifter but with dignity, a sense of belonging and a last sip of his beloved ice-cold Coca-Cola. On the morning McCain died, Pastor David Ziler and his wife, Andrea Ziler, went into the hospice room they had created at the homeless shelter they run, gave McCain his medications, cleaned him up and sat his...

During his weekend retreat at Camp David, Biden, and his granddaughter Naomi played the racing video game, and he won. Naomi shared a video to Instagram that showed Biden competing against her on the Arcade GP DX machines, complete with chairs and steering wheels. Naomi Biden posted on Snapchat this weekend that she and her grandfather played an arcade-style game round of Mario Kart at Camp David over the weekend — and that he won. “Secret Service made an exception and let him drive himself!” Naomi Biden, who is 27, wrote on the photo, adding: “A little rusty but he...

The Oregon Department of Education is seeking to root out white supremacy in mathematics, manifested by emphasis on “getting the right answer” and making students “show their work.” As reported Monday by the attentive folks at the College Fix, Oregon’s progressive Department of Education has furnished educators with an 82-page training manual titled “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction: Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction.” The education department mailed the manual to teachers as part of Black History Month. The manual enumerates signs of “white supremacy culture in the mathematics classroom,” which include a focus on “getting the right answer,” an...

Paul Hastings, the law firm hired to conduct a "comprehensive review" of the Lincoln Project's "operations and culture," could be hard-pressed to deliver a credible result given several of its senior partners have donated to the scandal-plagued super PAC. Greg Nitzkowski, the firm's managing partner of more than two decades, donated $3,000 to the Lincoln Project in 2020, according to federal election records. Elena Baca, who chairs the firm's employment law department, has donated almost $2,000 to the Lincoln Project. According to her bio on the Paul Hastings website, Baca is "considered a ‘go-to' employment lawyer for many large employers...

A principal of a New York City Public School released an image of “The 8 White Identities” to parents encouraging them to become “white abolitionists” and “white traitors.” Parents with children at East Side Community School in the Big Apple received the graphic as part of a call to action. It details “The 8 White Identities” that label Caucasians as being somewhere between “white supremacists” and “white abolitionists” that was created by Barnor Hesse an associate professor at Northwestern University.

The grantmaking foundation of climate change fanatic Bill Gates has still been dumping millions of dollars into the taxpayer-funded National Public Radio. This alone should be enough cause to revoke the outlet’s public funding. Foundation Directory Online (FDO) data reveal that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation had given at least $4 million to National Public Radio (NPR) in 2020 alone. This is on top of the $14,164,937 the Gates Foundation had given NPR between 2003-2019. It is worth noting that Gates had just recently called for a radical transformation of the global economy into a green utopia: “[A]n all-out...

Vice President Kamala Harris has begun to take calls on behalf of President Joe Biden, raising questions about his ability to do the job of President. The White House published a readout yesterday entitled “Readout of Vice President Kamala Harris Call with President Emmanuel Macron of France.”It states:Vice President Kamala Harris spoke today with President Emmanuel Macron of France, and expressed her commitment to strengthening bilateral ties between the United States and France and to revitalizing the transatlantic alliance. Vice President Harris and President Macron agreed on the need for close bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address COVID-19, climate change,...

Given how flawed human nature is, America has been a remarkable moral achievement. This is the truism that separates the wise man from the fool. This is the truism that separates the left from the anti-left. Those who acknowledge how flawed human nature is compare America to reality. Those who do not, compare America to some utopian image: a country free of inequality, prejudices, intolerance, sexual misbehavior, greed, etc. This divide helps explain why those who hold a biblical worldview -- usually religious Jews and Christians -- are more likely to appreciate America than those who do not. It is...

A Florida mother got a late-night knock on her door from Palm Beach County police after making an anti-mask joke with a friend on Facebook. Angelique Contreras, a mother of three and a daughter of Cuban refugees, was left stunned when the officers showed up at her door in the middle of the night. She was even more shocked to find out the reason for their visit — a joking post on Facebook.

Emergency funding for schools included in President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief package, intended to help schools immediately return to in-person classes, won’t be fully spent until 2028. Just $38.6 billion of the $128.6 billion allocated for emergency school funding in President Joe Biden’s proposed coronavirus relief package will be spent by the end of 2022, according to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report released Monday. The Biden administration has repeatedly stated that public schools nationwide need the funding in order to return to in-person classes, but hasn’t explained that the vast majority of the funds will be spent after 2022.

This question is asked by millions and millions of Christians, frightened by this invented pandemic. “Fearful people do not inherit the Kingdom of God,” says St. Paul the Apostle. After our church took note of the danger of vaccination through the mouth of His Eminence, our Metropolitan Vlasie Mogârzan, we have communicated our position both from a spiritual point of view, but also from a medical and moral point of view. However, after countless requests, questions raised by Christians, many unanswered, we owe some clarification. Beloved Christians, Even now, after they permanently put your muzzle on, don’t you realize that...

The Maine GOP is considering censuring Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) over her decision to side with Democrats and vote to convict former President Trump for incitement of insurrection in connection to the January 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol. Maine GOP chair Demi Kouzounas acknowledged that many members were “upset after what happened” following Collins’ vote to convict on Saturday and told them to remain “prepared for an emergency state committee meeting in the near future.

In Part One, I focused mostly on wearing masks—or, more precisely, not wearing them when we don’t absolutely have to. In this installment, I’d like to propose several other “small ways” we can individually and collectively resist the Left’s COVID fascism:Get out of the house. Besides masking, another policy that not only doesn’t work to control the virus but creates even greater problems is lockdowns. As former President Trump so rightly foresaw, the “cure” has become far worse than the disease. Even the corrupt World Health Organization concluded as much. The WHO’s “COVID-19 envoy,” Dr. David Nabarro, stated back in...
