When Machiavelli wrote, “in order to know Moses’ virtue it was necessary that the people of Israel be slaves in Egypt …,” he was pointing to the truth that knowing what one is up against is a powerful incentive for dealing with it intelligently. Genesis tells us that only in Moses’ time did the Egyptians make clear how harsh was the alternative to the Exodus by deciding to kill their longtime slaves’ baby boys. Today, the oligarchy that controls American society’s commanding heights leaves those who are neither its members nor its clients little choice but to marshal their forces...

Muslim soldiers are killing their Christian comrades in arms—apparently because the latter, as “infidels,” are already the enemy. Most recently, in Nigeria, a Muslim colonel stole weapons from an armory and then blamed the 12 soldiers on duty for the theft. Six of those 12 soldiers—all Christians—were then executed. According to a lawyer acquainted with the case: The [Nigerian] government of today detests Christianity... This administration is running on ethnic agenda against the Igbo [Christian] population.... This has never been a practice in the Army. Things got changed the moment this present administration [of Muhammadu Buhari] came to power. Things...

Video after video shows Asian-Americans being attacked, but the white supremacy narrative the left is pushing is still a mythical unicorn. Following the shooting murder of eight women, six of whom were of Asian descent, in Atlanta earlier this month, the narrative coming from the left and mainstream media has been that white supremacy is the primary cause of anti-Asian hate crimes across the country. The suspect in the Atlanta attacks is a white male and anti-Asian crimes have been going up, so this narrative has been easy for the left to build. But once we dig beneath the surface,...

The news has been quietly making the rounds in European news outlets, following an initial report by the newspaper De Standaard that was picked up subsequently by several French publications: a new translation of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, written between 1304 and 1307, is causing controversy following the translator’s alterations.Valeurs Actuelles reported that Lies Lavrijsen, who was tasked with the translation of the famous book by the Florentine poet, decided to remove any mention of Muhammad altogether, in a push to make the text more “more pleasant and accessible.” Speaking on the Belgian radio station Radio 1, she defended her...

Four Muslim migrants from North Africa gang-raped a 36-year-old woman on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, after she stopped to ask how she could help them. According to the March 3 report, The alleged victim is believed to have lived on the Canary Islands, whereas the suspects are thought to have arrived only recently on a boat….

They are then thought to have set up camp in the park where the woman was allegedly attacked after enquiring about their situation....

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris don’t need to worry about flouting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations against nonessential travel, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. The reason: They both fly private.

A Black Lives Matter activist and fervent Democrat Party supporter is accused of committing anti-Asian hate crimes in Seattle. King County prosecutors charged 51-year-old Christopher Allen Hamner, of SeaTac, Wash., with a felony hate crime for targeting multiple Asian victims on two separate occasions in March. Hamner, who is mixed-race, is accused of threatening women and children of Asian background as young as five years old with racial slurs. On March 16, Hamner allegedly harassed a woman while she was in her car with two children, ages five and 10. Pamela Cole, the victim, alleged in a Facebook post...

OUR WASHINGTON DISPATCHES. WASHINGTON, Friday, March 29. THE FORT SUMPTER POLICY. The Southern Commissioners have received letters from home, which develop the fact that the leaders at the South desire the evacuation of Fort Sumpter as tending to recognize Southern independence, and that it will be so regarded abroad. Hon. JAMES G. PALFREY has been appointed Postmaster of Boston. Though not a resident of that city, he will comply with the law by removing thither. Mr. PALFREY's willingness to accept such an appointment excites very general surprise. A long Cabinet meeting was held to-day, but no additional appointments of importance...

I see that Oxford has gone all in on the woke/white guilt curriculum.The University of Oxford is considering scrapping sheet music for being 'too colonial' after staff raised concerns about the 'complicity in white supremacy' in music curriculums.Please, in the name of all that’s good and holy, make it stop!I believe The Supremes – Flo, Mary and Diana, not Joe, Brett and Amy - would agree with me.Sure, they were just 3 black girls from the ghetto projects who made good, but they sort of liked that supremacy thing. And apparently they had nothing against slapping their name on a...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 19Psalm 19[a] For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. 5 It is like a bridegroom coming out...

They are finally here. New York is officially the first state to launch a so-called “vaccine passport” program, empowering various businesses and public entities to easily deny residents service on the basis of whether or not they have received a COVID-19 vaccine. The “Excelsior Pass” program bills itself as a “free, fast and secure way to present digital proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test results” with either a smartphone app that displays a scannable QR code or a code printed on a sheet of paper. While New Yorkers are not yet legally required to participate, business owners and venue...

The Jewish people are commonly referred to as the, “Chosen people”; and to this the scriptures attest. It is important to understand, however, that although being chosen certainly can be a blessing, it can also be a curse, as was the case with Judas. Saul also was chosen, nonetheless, what began with an anointing of the Lord ended with being cut-off. On the other hand, David being chosen prevailed greatly and pleased God. Thus, the promise was given, that through his seed Messiah would come. When God chooses a person, or a people, there is then a responsibility of those...

Radical Democrats, not content to control all three electoral elements of the federal government, are urging that two new states, Puerto Rico and Washington D.C., be added to the union. Legislation to make Washington D.C, a state has already been drawn up. Given that Democrats control both D.C., and Puerto Rico overwhelmingly, this would insure at least four more permanently Democrat controlled seats in the U.S. Senate, thus potentially ensuring Democrat control of that body for generations. Democrats correctly view the nineteen months between now and the 2022 Congressional elections as their window of opportunity to consolidate their electoral stranglehold...

The latest $1.9 trillion stimulus package that was passed and signed into law includes a policy that will directly temper rising healthcare costs for some Americans. The provision, supported by President Biden, caps the proportion of income Americans can be charged for health insurance premiums through the Obamacare exchanges. The unintended consequences of injecting more government into healthcare are well documented and should trigger skepticism, but the goal of taming runaway prices is laudable. Americans currently pay some of the highest medical costs in the world. Rather than applying even more government controls to the system, Biden and Congress would...

More than anyone else in America, these two professional liars are responsible for the abject failures by governors all over the country to effectively deal with the viral gift from China and its impacts on our society. Their dishonesty and self-interested pronouncements on the virus gave license to Democrat governors all over America to deny Americans their constitutional rights, destroy businesses, deprive people of work and deny our children the right to an education for more than a year now.

It’s just the flu, bro. https://news.yahoo.com/biden-administration-tries-to-build-dam-against-fourth-coronavirus-wave-174607443.html Biden officials concerned about a fourth Coronavirus wave. “Impending doom” is the phrase the CDC official was quoted as using. - A quick reference to yesterday’s Flubro thread...dozens of replies and not a single comment about the science article I posted describing how the material in disposable masks can make penises smaller. The lack of smart ass comments by Freepers and Flubros related to the shrinking penis sizes is the most shocking (and a bit disappointing) thing I have seen on Freerepublic in a long time. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3946190/posts Biden says states should pause reopening....
