Free Republic

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said passing the Green New Deal would have helped to prevent the devastating power outages in Texas that have left millions struggling to find warmth in their homes amid a brutal winter storm and record-shattering cold temperatures.

Ironically at the same time that Democrats in the House impeached Donald Trump for supposedly inciting the January 6th riot, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee hires as a Senior Advisor someone who last year lauded “Looting as a Vital form of social Protest” and condemned the police. The Tweet shown above is from Dyjuan Tatro at the end of last August. How is it possible that Trump asking people to “peacefully and patriotically, make your voices heard” is inciting violence, but these comments from a Senior Advisor for the Democrats is considered appropriate? He has also removed Tweets from his...

Black and Latino residents are receiving far fewer doses than white residents in Sacramento County, according to new data released by state officials Friday, reflecting a trend of racial disparity that has come to define the coronavirus pandemic.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Rush Limbaugh, a giant of American broadcasting, a uniquely talented performer, and a hugely generous man to whom I owe almost everything. Rush died this morning, after a year-long struggle with lung cancer. I was scheduled to guest-host today's show. Instead, as you can hear, his beloved Kathryn will be introducing a special program put together by the EIB team to celebrate a great man's life and legacy. It's a hard thing to do - compressing a glorious third-of-a-century into three hours - but Snerdley, Kraig, Mike, Allie and...

Last week, during Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, we were told that his offense was “the big lie” that the election was stolen. That “big lie” is responsible for the Jan. 6 riot. The media continually label claims of any election fraud or significant fraud as “false.” A couple of political science professors at Stanford, Justin Grimmer and Andrew B. Hall, chimed in, claiming no evidence of vote fraud in the 2020 election. They say that they are nonpartisan and that any evidence of vote fraud “fall[s] apart under scrutiny.” But there is a lot of evidence of significant vote fraud.

During the impeachment trial lawyers for former President, Donald Trump made a claim that the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot was the work of “Antifa.” A small group who came to engage in violent and menacing behavior hijacked the event for their own purposes. According to publicly available reporting, it is apparent that extremists of various different stripes and political persuasions preplanned and premeditated and attacked on the capitol,” Trump’s lawyer Michael van der Veen said. “One of the first people arrested was the leader of Antifa. Sadly, he was also among the first to be released.” The allegation seemed...

It is with profound sadness and eternal gratitude that I note the passing of Rush Limbaugh today. A truly great American in all senses of that designation, a brilliant radio artist and the de facto leader of true conservatism in the United States for 30 years, he was truly one of a kind. Rush’s wife, Kathryn, opened his radio program today with a heartfelt statement to his 25 million+ listeners. I won’t deny shedding a tear or two as I listened to it and tried to take in the impact his loss will have. Talk radio as it has existed...

The disclosure suggests Barack Obama never invited Biden into the private area of the White House.. President Joe Biden served in the U.S. Senate for more than 30 years, and then served eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president. But until he moved in last month, he said Tuesday night, he’d never been inside the presidential "residence" area of the White House. Biden made the disclosure during a town hall event in Milwaukee, ... I had been in the Oval Office a hundred times as vice president -- more than that -- every morning for the initial meetings but I...

The article says that in 2020, 49% of students who had a parent with a bachelor's degree submitted test scores, compared to 30% of first-generation applicants, down from 79% and 71% in 2019. Here are the percentages of students submitting test scores by race: 58 Asian 48 White 33 "Latinx" 33 American Indian 31 Black

President Joe Biden’s stumbling and sometimes shocking answers during Tuesday night’s town hall event with CNN prompted left-wing media “fact-checkers” to tie themselves in knots to defend him. As The Daily Wire highlighted, Biden seemingly claimed his administration did not have a vaccine to work with when he came into office: “It’s one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn’t have when we came into office, but a vaccinator, how do you get the vaccine into someone’s arm?” “What we did, we got into office and found out the supply, there was no backlog, I mean, there was nothing...

The use of "invisible" tracking tech in emails is now "endemic", according to a messaging service that analysed its traffic at the BBC's request. Hey's review indicated that two-thirds of emails sent to its users' personal accounts contained a "spy pixel", even after excluding for spam. Its makers said that many of the largest brands used email pixels, with the exception of the "big tech" firms. Defenders of the trackers say they are a commonplace marketing tactic. And several of the companies involved noted their use of such tech was mentioned within their wider privacy policies. Emails pixels can be...

Campbell Mulholland's family have been left gutted at the "undignified" move as their beloved relative was returned to the morgue after his service.A man has been denied his last wishes of being buried in his family grave leaving his relatives heartbroken. The family of Campbell Mullholland was told by the council just 24 hours before his funeral that the 94-year-old had been refused entry because the grave was half-an-inch too small. Mr Mulholland wanted to be with his infant son and wife when the time came and died on February 2 expecting to be buried with them. Campbell's family members...

Snowy winters could become a thing of the past as climate change affects the UK, Met Office analysis suggests. It is one of a series of projections about how UK's climate could change, shared with BBC Panorama. It suggests by the 2040s most of southern England could no longer see sub-zero days. By the 2060s only high ground and northern Scotland are still likely to experience such cold days. The projections are based on global emissions accelerating. It could mean the end of sledging, snowmen and snowball fights, says Dr Lizzie Kendon, a senior Met Office scientist who worked on...

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday dodged a question about whether or not former President Donald Trump should face criminal charges for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Instead of using her background as a prosecutor to opine on Trump’s Senate impeachment acquittal, Harris told NBC’s “Today” she is “reviewing the case of COVID in America.

The far-left Antifa/Black Lives Matter agitator, who was charged by federal authorities for his role in the January 6 Capitol riots, was paid thousands by anti-Trump "news" networks CNN and NBC, bombshell court documents have revealed. Last month, the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed that prominent BLM activist John Sullivan was arrested by the FBI and charged with inciting the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol building.
