Free Republic

Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's efforts to delay congressional business by forcing futile procedural votes to adjourn the House each day are disrupting committee hearings and virtual constituent meetings - and ticking off a growing chorus of Republican colleagues. Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) had to rush out of a committee hearing with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on monetary policy. Rep. David Joyce (R-Ohio) had to step out of a video conference with an international conservation group. And Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) had to halt a Zoom meeting with local chambers of commerce from the Great Lakes region. "Aggravated,"...

PHOENIX - A man is dead after being shot by a gas station clerk in Phoenix. Phoenix police say the shooting happened just after 11 p.m. on March 1 at a Chevron station near 44th Street and McDowell Road. Investigators say a man threatened to harm customers and when the clerk tried to intervene, the man armed himself with a baton and attacked the clerk who then shot him. The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition where he was pronounced dead. He was identified by police as 35-year old Andrew Agnew. The clerk stayed at the scene...

China is and has been at war with the US. This war is as intentional as and more damaging than Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. While no bombs have dropped and no rounds have been fired, nothing can camouflage China's decades-long war on the U.S. In 1998, China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) published Unrestrictive Warfare. Its main premise, after they studied the intricacy of Operation Desert Storm, was that no country could financially or technology-wise compete with or be victorious against the U.S. in a traditional force-on-force war. Unrestrictive Warfare asserts for a country (like China) to defeat the US,...

The president is planning a multi-trillion effort to fix America’s infrastructure and kickstart the economy. But can he get Republicans on board? Joe Biden came to power promising a New Deal-like economic agenda that would not only combat the Covid-19 pandemic, which has now claimed more than half a million lives in the US and caused unemployment not seen since the Great Depression, but also confront the deep-rooted disparities it has exposed. Biden hails 'giant step' as Senate passes $1.9tn coronavirus relief bill Read more After a blitz of executive orders in the opening days of his presidency, Biden is...

Honestly, if you didn’t already know that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was a scumbag you’ve either been living under a rock or are a journalist. Everyone else could see the writing on the wall from long before the pandemic occurred. Once COVID invaded from China, the writing turned to neon lights, and still the left looked away. No incompetence, no body count could distract their eyes from the narrative of the large-nostriled hero standing up to “Orange Man Bad.” Now, Cuomo has outlived his political usefulness. The clock is ticking, whether he leaves office or not, Andrew Cuomo is...

It’s just the flu, bro. So governments are eliminating many of their restrictions. Good for them...although they never should have been imposed in the first place. Every business and organization has the right to continue these Coronavirus rules and restrictions, even though the government does not mandate them. And that is where we are at in Texas. Although some entities have eliminated the rules, most have retained them. I have hopeful that these rules will go away quickly but for now it is noteworthy that the organizations who removed the fewest rules are churches and schools. I have no great...

The White House fired the Trump-appointed General Counsel of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Friday evening, following her refusal to step down. In a definite letter Friday morning to President Biden, Sharon Gustafson said she "respectfully" declined the White House’s request for her resignation, noting she had only served half of her four-year term. "I intend to honor that commitment," she wrote in a letter released by the Ethics and Public Policy Center. "I have confidently given this advice to countless embattled clients over the last 25 years: hold your head high, do your best work, and do...

‘The people we sell houses to aren’t using their salary, they’re using their portfolios’ Housing IS the business cycle, it’s been said. So it may be fitting that a K-shaped recovery from the COVID-induced downturn would be accompanied by an increasingly unequal housing market. What’s less certain is what that will mean for the broader economy and markets. “I definitely think the pandemic widened the gap between the haves and the have-nots,” said Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin RDFN, -5.75%. “When I started in this business, there was a broad consensus around making the American dream accessible to middle- and...

On November 23, 2020, attorney Matthew DePerno of DePerno Law filed a lawsuit on behalf of Central Lake resident William Bailey against Antrim County, MI. In addition to thousands of votes that were flipped from President Trump to Democrat candidate Joe Biden in Antrim County, MI, in the November election, Bailey was concerned about ballots that were re-run through the Dominion tabulator machine after a 262-262 tie on a vote a ballot initiative that would allow a marijuana establishment to be located within the Village of Central Lake.Michigan’s radical Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson blamed the incredible vote switch...

Just for fun. The Offended Song

I am about ready to go to bed but I want to post this before I retire for the evening. I just finished watching Coach Carter starring Samual Jackson and I thought it was a good movie. However, during the end of the film I had a thought. Movies that Hollywood have put out over the years - Coach Carter, Hoosiers, The Incredibles, the majority of the superhero films, etc. - a lot of successful movies portray conservative principles - hard work, honesty, success based on personal achievement. We are told, that the majority of Hollywood are liberals, yet some...

“Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows" (Proverbs 7:12-14).

Fong’s Pizza in Iowa has recently created a Froot Loops pizza, which has mozzarella, Froot Loops, Greek yogurt and condensed milk This isn’t the first time the restaurant, which has four locations in Iowa, has experimented with Froot Loops on pizza.

Skip This doctrine protects woke employees from being fired for their woke beliefs. That's intuitive, but legally it also means woke employers can't fire employees for failing to adopt those same beliefs. Yet that's the essence of what's happening across corporate America today. Further strengthening the legal case that wokeness is a religion is the uncomfortable fact that, well, wokeness really is a religion. As Joshua Williams argues, Americans "have not lost their religion" but "relocated their religion to the realm of politics." Like most religions, wokeism is comprehensive and indivisible; just as no good Christian can pick his or...

Get ready for the latest woke wave in education: comprehensive sex ed for kids as young as 5 — thanks to a new bill in the state Senate. Legislation sponsored by state Sen. Samra G. Brouk, a freshman Democrat from Rochester, would tie New York’s health curriculum to standards written by a left-wing interest group that advocates “Sex Ed for Social Change” — and would make those lessons mandatory statewide.

“March Madness: The Prophet-Driven Church” (John 2:13-22) “Gentle Jesus, meek and mild”: That’s how we usually picture our Savior. And in many respects, that’s true. Our Good Shepherd is kind and gentle with his sheep. But that image of Christ is not enough. It doesn’t give the full picture of Jesus and his character and his range of emotions. Especially is that the case with our text today. Because today we see our Lord getting downright angry--or upright angry, I should say, since it is righteous anger that he displays. Today Jesus gets a case of “March Madness”: He marches...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report Friday in which it quietly admitted that the mask mandates in America were allegedly responsible for less than a 2 percent decrease in COVID case growth after ONE HUNDRED DAYS. But still the CDC advises wearing masks, despite their own numbers https://nationalfile.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cdcreport-1140x1337.jpg
