Free Republic

Donald Trump became the political vehicle for the American people’s resentment of an overweening, corrupt ruling class. Trump’s invaluable contribution to the Republic was to lead Americans publicly to disrespect that class. Americans elected Trump to preserve freedoms and prosperity against the encroachments of that class. But instead, he became the catalyst by which that class cohered to transform the American Republic into an oligarchy. During Trump’s presidency, more wealth passed from ordinary Americans to oligarchs, and more freedoms were lost than anyone imagined possible. As we consider how to remedy these losses, Trump’s fateful combination of things said and...

Joe Biden is failing to fulfill his most sacred obligation as President: keeping the American people safe. The Democrat Party’s efforts to undermine our brave law enforcement officers have led directly to a stunning surge in violent crime nationwide. The left’s defund the police rhetoric and policies have become so politically untenable that some Democrats are now claiming to support increased funding for police. Americans see right through that political spin. Democrats have already done too much damage to law and order to now credibly state their support for police. They have put Americans’ safety at risk. Thanks to powerful...

U.S.—Controversy continues to unfold surrounding what teachers should and should not be teaching children. Teachers have responded by demanding cameras be placed in homes so they can monitor what parents are teaching their students. “Why shouldn’t we be able to see what they are teaching our students? Do they have something to hide?” said Katherine Lunsford, a public school teacher, and activist. “For all we know, they could be teaching our students that America is a great country, or worse, that not seeing race is okay.” “We need dedicated cameras in every room to watch students at all times to...

[Catholic Caucus] EXCLUSIVE – Abp. Viganò rebukes pro-LGBT Cardinals Cupich, Gregory, Tobin: They’re ‘unworthy to celebrate’ MassJuly 8, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – In a new exclusive written interview with LifeSiteNews, former U.S. nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò condemns Pope Francis’s recent endorsement of homosexuality-promoting priest Father James Martin.It is therefore unsurprising that James Martin enjoys such appreciation in the highest spheres of the Vatican, which according to the methodology in force since Vatican II leaves a free hand to the most agitated exponents of progressive currents and then adopts the Hegelian dialectic between the thesis of natural and Catholic morality, the...

Are we there yet? Yes, we are. A look at Aldous Huxley's Brave New World: Revisited (1958). This man was a visionary.

Naming the Capitol Police Officer Who Killed Unarmed Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli BabbittMost police departments — including Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the US Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely.Which is what happened with the Jan. 6 shooting of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester in the US Capitol riot who was fatally wounded by a plainclothes police lieutenant as...

This is frightening. Imagine if President Trump had done this? https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1413228649805873153

Eight weeks ago, Liz Cheney’s colleagues struck her down—and made her more powerful than they could have possibly imagined. They did so, if the media was to be believed, by inadvertently thrusting into her hands a new megaphone to broadcast her anti-Trump message. Around the same time, former Trump administration official Miles Taylor and dissident 2016 presidential candidate Evan McMullin announced a group of disgruntled Republicans who threatened to form a new third party if the GOP failed to expunge the stain of Trumpism. Despite the hype they received on cable news, neither Cheney’s nor Taylor and McMullin’s efforts have...

A leak of google blacklist. While this is no surprise, of course google has freerepublic on its radar as an enemy, here is a listing of a large number (hundreds) and FR makes the grade. Tthis is now circulating to correspond with yesterday's Class Action against Google. From the site: "Zach Vorhies was a Google employee who downloaded 950 pages of internal documents describing Google's censorship regime and then delivered them to the DOJ. He also disclosed these document to the public via Project Veritas on August 2019."

We are entering the age of "Full John Galt." This is a time where society and politicians are rapidly dismantling the rights of ownership. This transfer of rights constitutes a transfer of wealth whether we wish to call it by that name or not. This is a time when people can just walk into a small privately-owned convenience store, then, without paying walk out with an arm full of merchandise with little or no ramifications. This is a time when government deficits have lost all meaning and people are being paid not to work. This is a time when saying...

With new mutations discovered every few weeks, many scientists now predict that Covid will continue circulating around the world for at least the next two to three years, requiring nations to reinstitute public health measures on an ad hoc basis for the foreseeable future

Explanation: Aphelion for 2021 occurred on July 5th. That's the point in Earth's elliptical orbit when it is farthest from the Sun. Of course, the distance from the Sun doesn't determine the seasons. Those are governed by the tilt of Earth's axis of rotation, so July is still summer in the north and winter in the southern hemisphere. But it does mean that on July 5 the Sun was at its smallest apparent size when viewed from planet Earth. This composite neatly compares two pictures of the Sun, both taken with the same telescope and camera. The left half was...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), while speaking to the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, said regaining the House of Representatives and Senate will check President Joe Biden and the Democrat’s radical agenda. During McConnell’s speech, he said the American people would have a “big decision” to make when they head to the polls in the midterm elections next year to decide who has control of the House and the Senate.

The left wing Women’s March has just scored a major victory. As we all know, its founder, Linda Sarsour, wants the U.S. to adopt Sharia law. Well, a Texas judge just ruled that a woman getting a divorce must go by Sharia law, where a woman’s testimony counts only half has much as a man’s.

Not long ago, Michael Avenatti was a fixture on cable news, the bellicose nemesis of former President Donald Trump as lawyer to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He even briefly considered a run for president.On Thursday, Avenatti dropped another few pegs on his descent into disrepute.A federal judge in Manhattan sentenced Avenatti to 30 months in prison for trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike.

Republic . The American republic is in grave danger. We have wandered far from the guiding principles that established our nation and preserved our way of life for more than two centuries. Because Texas was once a republic, its citizens have a unique perspective on the preciousness of independence and the sacrifices that secured our freedoms. We cherish this exceptional system of government and recognize the imminent threats that can destroy what our Founders called “the great experiment” known as the United States of America. For America to endure, every generation must safeguard our constitutional republic and representative democracy from...
