Free Republic

Think of the glass maze as society; the blue Solo cups represent ordinary working blokes, the red Solos the entrepreneurs, the builders. The plastic goblets the elites.Think of Cat #1 is a libertarian, carefully navigating through society without leaving a trace because he essentially just wishes to be left alone. Cat #2 is more of a modern Republican; he doesn’t wish to make many waves but does every now and again like to kick a bit of sand in the face of one of his enemies. Cat #3, well Cat #3 is your typical psychotic progressive liberal. Progressives have never...

Today’s wave after wave of illegal migrants, otherwise human chattel, are overrunning and overwhelming our southern border security, by design from dementia plagued president-in-name-only Joe Biden and his hate-America-first Democrat party Marxist handlers. This is the Marxist Democrat party war on Black Americans, cynically packaged globalist modern-day slave trading, replacing freedmen citizens with indentured aliens. Interior enforcement officers given stand-down orders are inundated with thousands of CCP Covid-19 diseased, illegal, and illiterate mendicants delivered by open-borders supremacists who have outsourced migratory human-trafficking transit logistics to Mexican cartel criminal enterprises, all encouraged, reinforced, and given sanctuary Where are the illegal migrants...

Rarely does the government give you a great idea, but today may be that day! It’s reported that the Department of Homeland Security wants to look at citizens’ social media posts and if they do not comply with the government’s narrative, they may be placed on the No Fly List! Wow, that’s an improvement over having the turreted Chris Wray-Mobile visit your house when you are just awakening. When we heard the idea, during an election fraud investigation meeting, we thought it was grand because the people in the room built the technology used for the government’s No Fly List....

“We now have an intelligentsia which, though very small, is very useful to the cause of Hell.” -C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape LettersA masterful piece of religious prose disguised as satire, C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is a series of messages from senior devil Screwtape to his protégé Wormwood on how best to corrupt mortals. Originally released during World War II, its tight 175 pages provide charming, timeless wisdom. In an addendum released shortly before the author’s death in 1963 – Screwtape Proposes a Toast – Lewis pivots from dispensing universal wisdom to directly criticizing social trends of his day, trends...

The Smoking Gun reports an inebriated motorist assured Florida police that he was not drinking while driving, but only swigging from a bottle of Jim Beam bourbon when his vehicle paused at stop signs and traffic signals, according to a police report. Earle Gustavas Stevens, 69, was arrested two weeks ago for driving his Mercury Grand Marquis while under the influence. The Vero Beach resident was nabbed after a driver called 911 to report that Stevens’s car repeatedly tapped her bumper while they were in a McDonald’s drive-thru lane. When a sheriff’s deputy contacted Stevens, he reeked of alcohol,...

LANSING, Mich. (WJRT) - Anyone who has used a gas can made after 2009 knows they aren’t very user-friendly thanks to federal regulations. Newer gas cans have to include a barrier and automatically closing spout designed to reduce vapors. But they can be frustrating to use and result in more gas spilling than older gas cans, according to Republican State Rep. Rodney Wakeman of Saginaw Township. A Michigan House committee passed a bill this week that would allow consumers to purchase new gas cans made in the state that are exempt from the 2009 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandates. “Anyone...

Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, believes President Biden's press conference performance Thursday raises questions about his fitness for office. The Texas congressman said Friday that Biden's behavior at his first solo press conference 'should concern every American who wants to know that their president is fit for duty and in control,' Fox News reported. 'The president of the United States was armed with a picture book of friendly reporters to call on and with what appeared to be prepared answers, but he still could barely make it through his first press conference,' Jackson said. Biden's...

“Malarkey”, to quote the current occupant of the White House. This could be the shortest opinion piece in history, since that single word pretty much accurately sums up the topic of systemic racism and white supremacy in America today. There really is not much more that needs to be said with regards to that false narrative that is being proclaimed all across the country by the party of the ‘woke’, the Socialist-Democrat Party, and their supporters in the news media. Yes the history of slavery and racial prejudice did indeed exist and certainly is a stain on America’s heritage. But...

Agricultural commodity prices have surged almost 50% since mid-2020, causing concerns over food price inflation around the world and sometimes resulting in increased export taxes and quotas by producers at a time when importing countries want to import more. We can identify four major factors driving the surge across agri commodities that will remain active in 2021: 1) US dollar weakness: Rabobank forecasts the US dollar to remain soft through 2021 (US dollar index -7% lower since mid-2020), but no further weakness is expected. 2) Weather: La Niña could extend into the US spring planting season. 3) Global demand: Good...

Ok, so, the new Democrat/media narrative for this coming week is GOP efforts to stop massive Democrat voter fraud = GOP assaults on “voting rights.” Voter ID requirements are the new Jim Crow laws, according to the Sock Puppet-in-Chief, Joe Biden. Being able to have a dozen or more mail-in ballots sent to your home by the state, city, county, school district, justice of the peace and dogcatcher where you live, as well as from several neighboring states if you’re a Democrat, is a “voting right.” Being paid to agree to be transported to the polling place on election day...

Mike Lindell announced his second movie in a series on Voter Fraud in the 2020 Presidential election called Absolute Interference on War Room Pandemic with Steve Bannon. Bannon asked some thoughtful questions and pushed Lindell to be very clear about his film project, the companion documentary to Absolute proof, which Lindell claims will prove that the 2020 election was interfered with by the Chinese Community Party in China. “Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, says his new film proves that foreign adversaries hacked the election,” Bannon said. The two had a rousing, hour-long discussion Friday, with Lindell revealing updates...

You can’t force a horse to drink water, and at least we shouldn’t talk about forcing people to get vaccines, but the horse should drink and everyone should get a vaccine. Vaccines have saved countless lives and increasingly enable our urban lifestyles by reducing or nearly wiping out spreadable diseases. Things like Polio, mumps, and smallpox have been nearly eradicated and if they were to pop up someplace, we are largely safe from a widespread pandemic from them because of vaccines. However, despite the history and the present evidence of their effectiveness – there is a large cohort of individuals...

Tucker Carlson highlights how Biden’s military is more concerned with social justice than with defending the nation. SNIP However, many believed that Obama’s firings were driven less by the need to create a leaner, more efficient bureaucracy, and more by the desire to get rid of people who were not on board with Obama’s increasingly hard-left politics. Even if that wasn’t Obama’s goal, there’s no doubt that, even before Biden became Commander in Chief, the Pentagon had become a leftist institution. I won’t belabor the point here (the virtue of these posts is that they’re short), but I did belabor...

Under the plan Biden teased on the campaign trail, “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines” would come under the National Firearms Act. The definition of “assault weapons” would extend to semi-automatic rifles, handguns, and some shotguns. High-capacity magazines are those that hold more than ten rounds—or most standard magazines. Gun owners would have two choices: either surrender their property to the government or pay a $200 tax to keep each item, which will be added to a national registry. For many people, this would quickly turn into thousands of dollars paid to keep their own property. A hunter, for example, with...

Neanderthals could talk, and it wasn’t the “Ooga Booga” you were expecting Homo sapiens have a preconceived notion of our Neanderthal ancestors as being so primitive that the only way they could communicate was by beating their chests and grunting now that we don’t live in caves and beat things with clubs. Neanderthal skull. According to scientists who recently discovered some shocking facts about how Neanderthals communicated, this couldn’t be further from the truth. They most certainly had some sort of a language. The ear structures in Neanderthal skulls showed that they were capable of picking up on the wavelengths...

We are all ORU now. In a riff on a well-known quote from economist Milton Friedman and by Richard Nixon, Christian colleges now all feel some measure of connection to ORU. Oral Roberts University (ORU), founded and named after the famous healing evangelist, is experiencing a Cinderella season in men’s basketball and has now reached the mythical “sweet 16” of the NCAA March Madness following victories over a succession of schools including Florida and Ohio State. Pandemic effects notwithstanding, all Christian colleges are rooting for ORU and its success. We are all ORU now.Sadly, the national spotlight has brought attention...

Sensors and satellites across the globe have picked up signals that cannot be explained and many of these phenomena have been kept from the public. Ratcliffe claimed intelligence agencies have quieted the information, hoping to publicize the sightings when there are proper explanations that are accessible and understandable to the public. A more detailed report will be released in accordance with the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which was passed by the Senate in 2020. The bill shockingly demanded that the director of national intelligence "Submit a report within 180 days of the date of enactment of the...

Actress Sharon Stone characterized cancel culture as the “stupidest thing” she has ever seen. Stone gave her thoughts on cancel culture during Thursday’s episode of the SiriusXM show “Just Jenny.” WATCH: Link“I think cancel culture is the stupidest thing I have ever seen happen,” Stone told host Jenny Hutt. “I think when people say things that they feel and mean, and it’s offensive to you, it’s a brilliant opportunity for everyone to learn and grow and understand each other.” “We all come from different ages, different cultures, different backgrounds, different things, and have had different experiences, different traumas, different upbringings,...

The U.S. military has a new Chief of “Diversity and Inclusion,” and he looks and speaks and does social media exactly as you’d expect. – Tucker Carlson went off on Biden’s woke military leadership again last night, and it was glorious. Carlson’s topic this time was the appointment of one Richard Torres-Estrada to be the Chief of Diversity & Inclusion of America’s Special Forces. I swear I am not making this stuff up. Check it out: As you might expect, Mr. Torres-what’shisname is your classic woke social justice warrior, not the kind of actual warrior you might hope would be...
