Free Republic

Trump said when conservative commentator Wayne Allyn Root pitched the congressional bid idea.....“That's so interesting,"You know, it's very interesting." "Why not, instead of waiting for 2024, and I'm hoping you'll run in 2024, but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress? A House seat in Florida. Win big. Lead us to a dramatic landslide victory taking the House by 50 seats. And then, you become the speaker of the House, lead the impeachment of Biden, and start criminal investigations against Biden," ....“You'll wipe him out for this last two years," the radio host added. The former president,...

General Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived in London January 2, 1944 to command Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) and to direct the last five months of planning for D-Day; the most difficult and complicated military operation ever attempted. Eisenhower’s study of leadership skills required he ignore opportunities for fear and doubt, which inevitably arise as strain and tension wear away endurance. He persevered to present confidence and optimism to those around him. For that reason, he brought with him a confident, battle tested team that had led successful landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Salerno, despite experiencing German counterattacks nearly...

OK, maybe not exactly the most substantive post you will read on Free Republic today. I'm sure humblegunner will weigh in at some point. I understand if you want to just pass it by. After all, I had a fender-bender with a gender-bender just yesterday. What can I say, it's been a rather bizarre weekend all around. But at least the temperature finally hit the low 90s here in Southern Connecticut so it finally feels like summer. So I'm just sitting out on my shaded deck reading a copy of Outrage, Inc by Derek Hunter and listening to PRIME COUNTRY...

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday defended his decision to vote against a sweeping voting rights bill and reiterated his opposition to gutting the filibuster, declaring in the strongest terms yet that he is not willing to change Senate rules to help his party push through much of President Joe Biden's agenda. "I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act. Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster," Manchin, a moderate Democrat from West Virginia, wrote in...

SBIRS is part of the Defense Department’s missile warning network that detects ballistic missile launches. It includes a combination of two infrared sensors in highly elliptical orbit and five satellites in geosynchronous Earth orbit. Lockheed Martin has been the SBIRS primary contractor since the mid-1990s. The fifth satellite launched May 18. The sixth and final SBIRS is in production and projected to launch in 2022. The five-year sole-source contract is for operations and maintenance of the SBIRS mission control center at Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado, and other operations centers at Peterson Air Force Base and Greeley Air National Guard...

These are the final words of Christians and Christ-rejecters at death. CHOOSE WISELY . . . Heaven or Hell.

Dear Editor, During the May 11 City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn unjustly maligned fellow Council Member Jessica Alexander for her reference to the Covid-19 virus as China Virus. Matt Rahn is simply parroting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) talking points while also failing to note that in late 2019 and early 2020, the virus was routinely called Wuhan Virus and Chinese Virus throughout our American establishment and major news media outlets. It was only after the Beijing-approved talking point by the China Xinhua News and intense behind the scenes lobbying by Chinese Communists that the narrative moved from...

There's nothing like a smarmy hypocrite getting exposed, and North Face, the virtue-signaling outdoor clothier, just got called out as an emperor with no clothes on, following its declaration of war on Big Oil. Here's the must-see smackdown video, done by a think tank and featuring a Big Oil employee, exposing the company in all its naked glory. North Face had declared war on Big Oil by sanctimoniously refusing to make custom jackets with their label on them for the employees of an oil firm that tried to give them some business. The oil and gas extractors wanted to give...

The air was likely frigid as the hunter lit a small fire. The caribou would come in the morning—forced through the narrow strip of marshland where he camped. There was nowhere else to go. The land was flanked by water on both sides, and large stones had been laid out in slanting lines to funnel the animals into this bottleneck. The hunter struck his weapon to sharpen its edge in anticipation. In that moment, two glassy flakes splintered away from the point of impact and fell to his feet. They would be buried there for nearly 10,000 years.In 2013 those...

Nickelodeon has cast its first-ever openly transgender teenage actor in a live-action show, Sasha A. Cohen, who will be featured in the children network’s series Danger Force. The 13-year-old actor — along with his twin sister Natalie Cohen — will appear on the June 19 episode of Danger Force, according to a report by Variety. Fellow Nickelodeon star Michael D. Cohen (no relation) — who is also transgender — told the outlet that he wants “Sasha to see his own power as an actor and as a human.” “I want him to feel proud of his work and feel real...

Mom in Carmel NY fights back against school board indoctriation and police hate.

I mentioned on another thread how bad Fox News is, and wouldn’t it be nice if Free Republic had its own TV channel. So here’s the question, just for fun: Who would you put in the lineup? I’ll start by saying I’d put Mark Steyn in Wallace’s old position. Steyn would be a hoot, but he wouldn’t take any double-talking nonsense from any liberal.

“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord” (Lamentations 3:40, KJV). Crisis moments require us to be courageous enough to deal with the issues of our day and, more importantly, those that lie within our own hearts. It is time for an appraisal. Not of our assets, not of our property. We need to probe deeper. It is time for us to stop and seriously consider where we are headed. Are you and I prepared for what is coming? Do we have resident within us what we need to face the coming days? I fear...

“Now God granted Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the commander of the officials” (Daniel 1:9). God’s favor is the rich reward of obedience. God delights in granting special grace and favor to those whose hearts are set on pleasing Him. For example, “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” and was spared the ravages of the Flood (Gen. 6:8). Joseph found favor in His sight and was elevated to prominence in Egypt (Gen. 39—41). God granted Moses and the children of Israel favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they were able to plunder...

Fox News's Chris Wallace came to the defense of White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Friday as the nation's leading infectious disease expert faces scrutiny from conservatives over newly released emails. Wallace told colleague John Roberts during a discussion on the network about COVID-19's origins that he had read reports on Fauci's emails and "a number of the emails" himself, concluding, "There's no smoking gun there." "This is highly political. ... You're seeing it as a major talking point for Republicans," Wallace said, predicting that former President Trump would go after Fauci during an appearance in North Carolina...

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are based on "messenger" RNA. The RNA is encapsulated in a lipid layer consisting of propylene glycol (a petrochemical).This is the biological definition of a virus. (In this case a synthetic virus.)Medical Microbiology, 4th Edition:Virus Structure and FunctionViruses are small obligate intracellular parasites, which by definition contain either a RNA or DNA genome surrounded by a protective, virus-coded protein coat. Viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements, most probably of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host. For propagation viruses depend on specialized host cells supplying the complex metabolic...

More than 465 people have been arrested across nearly all 50 states in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department announced in a statement marking Saturday as 150 days since the insurrection. And investigators are continuing to search and seek tips on some of the most violent actors from that day. The department says it is still seeking tips to identify more than 250 individuals involved in assaults on officers or other acts of violence.

When Hilton bought her car new back in the day, she paid $463,000 for it. A newer buyer got it for the exceptional deal of $180,000 (the depreciation alone should have been a bad sign)... only to find that the service fees on it were, uh.... large. That new buyer took the car in for an oil change and walked out with his wallet $34,565 lighter, like: “A Service,” which is not specific and is listed for $2,105 A new power steering pump, $2,22o A steering rack, $6,270 A Mercedes turbine-styled wheel to replace the bent one on the car,...

A large fire broke out Saturday night at a steel factory in the southeast city of Zarand in Iran. It's the latest in a mysterious string of blasts and 'accidental' blazes at sensitive sites to beset the Islamic Republic, raising questions of possible Israel sabotage akin to what happened a year ago in the summer of 2020. "The governor of Zarand told the Iranian Fars News Agency that no injuries were caused in the incident and that the incident was under control," The Jerusalem Post reports. "The incident was reportedly caused by the sudden overflow of molten material in the...
