Free Republic

Despite being booted from social media, unfairly impeached twice, the victim of constant harassment and hoaxes and the target of six years of horrific and biased press coverage, Donald Trump remains the only towering figure in the Republican Party. A recent poll showed that 57% of Republicans favored Trump to win the nomination in 2024. His nearest potential challenger registered only 10% support. With such popularity, it was no surprise that his return to the political stage Saturday night in Greenville, North Carolina was eagerly anticipated. In his triumphant speech, Trump wowed the state’s GOP convention for almost 90 minutes....

Editor's Note: This piece was co-authored by U.S. Congresswoman Lisa McClain and Dr. Kent D. MacDonald.A “Baker's Dozen" is synonymous with more, or extra in a transaction. This piece provides (extra) arguments - a baker’s dozen - why government subsidized, free college tuition is bad for all involved. Making the case:The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else. Frederic Bastiat Nowhere are Bastiat’s words becoming more evident than with the many in Washington and their fascination with free college tuition. To better understand the naïveté of this harmful and expensive...

As America seems on the cusp of profound change, it's worthwhile looking back at what the Greatest Generation fought for. Yesterday was the 77th anniversary of D-Day. Many people think of World War II in terms of battles won or lost, ground lost or gained, terrible deaths and miraculous moments of survival. However, World War II was also the clash of two ideologies. On the one side was Hitler’s variation on socialism, one that allowed for some private ownership in a totalitarian state. On the other side was the concept of individual liberty birthed in England and given full meaning...

On 06/04/21 at 2204 hours, AST and WPD responded to a residence on Fairview Loop in Wasilla for the report of a home invasion and shooting. Investigation revealed an intoxicated 66-year-old male forced entry into a residence utilizing an axe while threatening to kill a 55-year-old female. The female homeowner subsequently shot the male with a pistol. EMS transported the intruder to a local hospital where he underwent surgery for non-life-threatening injuries. The Palmer District Attorney’s Office was contacted, and no charges will be filed on the homeowner. Investigation continues regarding burglary and assault charges against the suspect who’s still...

Jeff Bezos announced on Monday that he and his brother will join the first crewed spaceflight from his private rocket company on July 20 — just 15 days after he is set to step down as chief executive of Amazon. "Ever since I was five years old, I’ve dreamed of traveling to space," he wrote in an Instagram post. "On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend." In May, the Amazon founder's rocket company, Blue Origin, announced that its first flight aboard its New Shepard rocket, designed to carry up...

Notice That Leftist Media Discusses Race Violence in Terms of UNPPROVOKED ATTACKS. As If Violence Is Acceptable in PROVOKED ATTACKS. IN CRT ALL DISAGREEMENTS ARE PROVOKED ATTACKS. Setup for Leftists to Justify UPCOMING ATTACKS AGAINST CONSERVATIVES. This is Purposeful. The Elite Plan Genocide. And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad,...

Evangelical Christians who have become used to the effective leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest serving prime minister, may have grave concerns about the newly formed coalition government. But I believe there is good reason to hope that this new government might be just what Israel needs. When I was asked by the New York Times about evangelical reaction to the potential ouster of Netanyahu, I replied, “Your average American evangelical would think it’s a tragedy if Netanyahu is out. It will be similar in many of their minds to Trump losing to Biden.” Despite those concerns, however,...

I recently published the following on Facebook: Dear friends, As a Catholic priest, I post to help people to seek, to find and to live the Truth, “that sets us free” (Jn 8:32), in particular in this WAVE OF DIABOLICAL DISORIENTATION PROPAGATED in the world today. (Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most of the special formatting is lost, such as bold, italics, underlined words and embedded links.

Biden claims that he cares about the religious rights of “all” people -- when he clearly means only “all Muslims.” On May 16, President Biden issued a brief video ostensibly dedicated to expressing his support for the religious freedom of “all” people (though in reality dedicated to only one religious group): All people should be able to practice their faith with dignity, without fear of harassment or violence. We will defend the right of all, as we stand with you. That’s why I ended this shameful Muslim travel ban. And that’s why this administration will speak out for religious freedom...

Not since the glove in the O.J. Simpson murder case has a piece of fabric received more notoriety and discussion than the modern mask. Even after Joe Biden shuffled up to the mic to take what was supposed to be a verbal victory lap for COVID decline, a surprising number of Americans were still reluctant to believe in the safety of "facing" the world without it. In a contentious America whose resentments are played out publicly in the name of race, sex, social status, and political affiliation, it is perhaps not surprising that one's choice to wear or discard a...

“The commander of the officials said to Daniel, ‘I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more haggard than the youths who are your own age? Then you would make me forfeit my head to the king.’ But Daniel said to the overseer whom the commander of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, ‘Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance be observed in...

The Washington Post's publisher accused the Biden DOJ of "unprecedented" assault on the media. Fred Ryan described an "escalation" in attacks on the First Amendment since Trump left office. The publisher of The Washington Post accused the US Department of Justice of an "unprecedented assault on American news organizations" under President Joe Biden. Fred Ryan said that government action against media outlets had worsened since President Donald Trump left office, despite Biden officials taking a much less combative approach to the news media in public. Ryan noted in an opinion article that Biden had criticized the Trump administration for using...

Many majority Democrat cities have fallen victim to progressive prosecutors. Rather than drive down crime, improve public safety, and promote common sense tough-on-crime policies, these zealots campaign on platforms of structural racism, outcome equity, and restorative justice. In these cities, such performances have in fact become a requirement for the office of district attorney (DA). Aspiring DAs must protest the disproportionate prosecution of minorities without examining the underlying causes; they must clamor for the elimination of cash bail in the name of racial fairness; and they must recommend sentence reduction or alternatives to incarceration to mitigate “past injustices.” Committed to...

The unmasking of Dr. Anthony Fauci is the straw that I think will break the back of the camel of an evil cabal. The unmasking of Dr. Anthony Fauci is the straw that I think will break the back of the camel of an evil cabal. Everyone in the United States was directly and personally affected by the fraud and cover-up that obscured the origins of COVID-19 in the laboratory of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, imposed unnecessary lockdowns, and denied effective therapies to those infected with the virus. It brought home to Americans the untrustworthiness of the ruling class...

Senator Rand Paul told Sean Hannity Friday that he is receiving death threats almost every day for daring to question the authority of Dr Anthony Fauci, as well as highlighting evidence that the coronavirus could have leaked from a Wuhan lab. “This week, I’ve had five death threats just for being outspoken on it,” Paul said, adding “I don’t know what the world’s coming to, you can’t ask honest, difficult questions that in the end have proved out that Dr. Fauci was not being honest with us.” Paul continued “As a repercussion, my family had white powder sent to our...

Paul Ryan (I know, sorry for bringing him up) delivered a speech at the Reagan Presidential Library at the end of May in which he sought to reassert himself as a leader of the Republican Party. His shtick was the same spit wash that Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and George Bush have tried rubbing on the Republican electorate time and again since Biden's official installation. We're better than this reality TV outsider who hijacked the party. Boo to populism; yay to True Conservatism, Inc.! This is serious, people; we're at a 'crossroads' here.I'll tell ya, he sold me. If we...

Physicists Observe New Phase in Quantum Condensate of Light Apr 2, 2021 by Enrico de Lazaro Physicists at the University of Bonn have experimentally observed a new, previously unknown phase in the photon Bose-Einstein condensate. The Bose-Einstein condensate is a gas of atoms so dense and cold that their matter waves lose their individuality and condense into a ‘superatom wave.’ It was predicted in the 1920s by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein and was eventually created in the lab in the 1990s at the University of Colorado Boulder, MIT and Rice University using laser cooling and evaporative cooling techniques....

The viral video isn’t just a record of a single ugly episode; instead, it tells where our society is heading on its current trajectory. On Friday, a very disturbing video emerged and instantly went viral. It showed a young Amazon driver viciously punch an older woman who had been unhappy with a slow delivery. While the video is shocking on its own, it’s also a loudly clanging warning about the dangers of Critical Race Theory (“CRT”), especially when allied with other leftist doctrines commonly taught to the young, including the claim that words are violence. As CRT expands throughout America,...

It’s been a rough past few weeks for ‘America’s doctor.’ The COVID-19 pandemic - Dr. Anthony Fauci’s raison d'etre - is winding down, the whole country is perusing his FOIA’d emails, and some are even discussing whether his possible role in the gain of function research that may have started this whole mess in the first place could warrant criminal charges. Of course, given the sorry state of affairs in America today, it’s highly unlikely anything like that would ever happen, especially under a Biden administration ‘Justice’ Department. It’s also unlikely that anything short of an on-camera puppy-slaying would cause...

Three people are dead, including a state corrections officer, and at least another five are injured following a shooting that took place outside a Kendall business as a graduation party was ending.
