Free Republic

The spirit of freedom in America is rapidly changing under the burdensome weights of censorship and cancel-culture. From the legislative chambers in the DC Capitol and corporate board rooms to the pages of everyday citizen’s social media accounts, free speech is under fierce attack. Liberty is afforded to those who tirelessly fight as if freedom depended on it because it does. But it is imperative to understand how keenly Big Tech divides America and creates a two-class system: ones who uphold freedom and others who obey the new order. For example, YouTube is a subsidiary of Google, and it started...

Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover has filed a lawsuit against a morbidly obese patient who refuses to leave until he can receive weight loss surgery in six to nine months. The 54-year-old Somersworth man, identified as "John Doe" in the complaint to protect his privacy and medical history, was hospitalized in March for treatment of abdominal pain, renal stones and a penile mass, according to the complaint. The man had been unable to easily leave his bed for the past four years because of his weight, according to the complaint. After being discharged from physical therapy, ambulance drivers were concerned they...

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. A Coptic Christian church was recently burned to the ground—not in Egypt, where the torching of Coptic churches is not an uncommon occurrence, but in Canada, also known as “the church-burning centre of the Western world.” In the early morning hours of July 19, St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Surrey, which served 500 families and provided food for the homeless, was set aflame and completely destroyed. Only one charred wall remains standing. According to the report, “The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Surrey...

In his scathing criticism, Mawlawi Abdul-Hamid also recognized the ongoing protests in Khuzestan province, which in his view, should not be reduced to the water crisis.

The latest French export is a requirement that people show proof of vaccination to visit indoor bars, concert venues, restaurants and gyms. On Tuesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that New York City will be the first American metropolis to import the French health pass. Marketed like an upscale perk, the ‘Key to NYC Pass’ program will begin on August 16 and become mandatory on September 13.

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news networks have ignored a new poll shattering President Joe Biden’s economic image. A new Morning Consult/Politico poll of 1,997 registered voters released on July 28 found that 59 percent “hold Biden’s economic policies responsible for the 13-year high in inflation in the United States.” In fact, Morning Consult noted that by a 20-point margin, voters pointed to Biden’s policies over a return to pre-pandemic normals as being “very responsible” for the spiking inflation. ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News ignored Morning Consult’s politically damaging survey during their July...

O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday that he made good on his promise to pardon a couple who gained notoriety for pointing guns at social justice demonstrators as they marched past the couple’s home in a luxury St. Louis enclave last year. Parson, a Republican, on Friday pardoned Mark McCloskey, who pleaded guilty in June to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and was fined $750, and Patricia McCloskey, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment and was fined $2,000. “Mark McCloskey has publicly stated that if he were involved in the same situation, he would have the exact same...

If you want more Americans to be vaccinated against COVID-19, emphasizing that they could still catch the disease and transmit it to others even after they get their shots may not be the best strategy. Yet that is what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did last week, generating "alarmist" and "hyperbolic" press coverage that dismayed Biden administration officials who rightly worried that it would deter vaccination. Major news outlets deserve criticism for hyping the danger posed by breakthrough infections. But they were taking their cues from federal officials who exaggerated that danger, even while trying to reassure the...

A PENTAGON police officer was allegedly stabbed to death by Austin William Lanz — a male suspect who was additionally accused of attacking a cop in Georgia. The officer died after being stabbed on Tuesday as gunfire erupted at a transit heart exterior of The Pentagon. The suspect — recognized as 27-year-old William Lanz of Georgia — died on the scene after getting shot by legislation enforcement, The Associated Press reported. Shortly after 10.30am on Tuesday, the Pentagon was placed on lockdown after a police officer was attacked on a bus platform. Pentagon Force Protection Agency chief Woodrow Kusse stated...

As the world staggers through another summer of extreme weather, experts are noticing something different: 2021′s onslaught is hitting harder and in places that have been spared global warming’s wrath in the past. Wealthy countries such as the United States, Canada, Germany and Belgium are joining poorer and more vulnerable nations on a growing list of extreme weather events that scientists say have some connection to human-caused climate change. Killer floods hit China, but hundreds of people also drowned in parts of Germany and Belgium not used to being inundated. Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. had what...

What a difference a month can make. Pessimism surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic is surging along with cases of the Delta variant in the US — with only 40 percent of Americans now saying the country is on the right track, down from 89 percent in June, according to a Gallup poll. About 45 percent of Americans said the situation was getting worse, not better, in late July — marking a drastic turnaround from the month before and a psychological return to last year and this past winter, when most US residents were not optimistic the country was overcoming the virus,...

Given the world's bitter experience with COVID-19, sane human beings know epidemics are major national and international security threats. Historians can cite the facts. Plagues harmed ancient Rome and China. The Black Death ravaged medieval Europe. A scar on an Egyptian mummy indicates smallpox haunted planet Earth for at least 3,000 years. However, the combination of 20th-century medical advances such as more vaccines, antibiotics and better dental care; remarkable public health improvements, e.g., clean water; innovative agriculture leading to better diets (the Green Revolution); and quick international communication that facilitated monitoring and reporting disease outbreaks created a false sense of...

On this date in 1781, South Carolina patriot Isaac Hayne was hanged for breaking his conditional British parole and re-enlisting in the American Revolution. Though Hayne is not, to us, the most famous revolutionary executed by the British, he might have been considered by his contemporaries as the most prominent individual to go to the scaffold for the cause. A wealthy planter (lots of slaves!) whose home and grave can still be toured in Jacksonboro, Hayne was among 5,000 to surrender to the British when the latter captured Charleston in 1780. These prisoners were required to swear an oath of...

Howard Rubin, billionaire George Soros’s right-hand man, has been accused of brutally beating, raping and enslaving women and children as part of a human trafficking operation, according to new testimony from six women who said he beat and assaulted them. 66-year-old Rubin, a high-profile Wall Street financier and former money manager for Soros, has been hit with new allegations he raped and attempted to murder multiple women in a “sex dungeon” at his Manhattan apartment. According to six victims, the NYC property has been converted into a sickening “sex dungeon” to host rape and murder sessions. The first accusations against...

President Joe Biden blamed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Tuesday for the ongoing rise in coronavirus cases in their states. “Just two states, Florida and Texas, account for one-third of all new COVID-19 cases in the entire country, just two states,” he said. Biden was sharply critical of Republican governors who were enacting bans on mask mandates, even for vaccinated Americans. “I say to these governors, please help. But if you’re not going to help, at least get out of the way of the people that are trying to do the right thing,”...

As you may know, during the current pandemic, since the enactment of the so-called “CARES Act” in March 2020, there has been in effect, in various forms, a federal “moratorium” on evictions of rental tenants from their apartments. Thus some landlords have now gone well over a year without getting paid what they are owed, and with no access to any legal remedy. The most recent version of the “moratorium” expired on July 31 (Saturday). This version had been promulgated by the CDC on its own authority, without specific authorization from Congress. On Sunday (August 1) the Democratic Congressional leadership...

Patriot Patrick King represented himself in court after being fined $1200 dollars for protesting against the Covid-Hoax, he slew the beast and emerged VICTORIOUS. He issued a subpoena to the Provincial Health Minister for proof that the so-called Covid-19 Virus exists, and they were forced to admit that they had no evidence whatsoever. The virus has never been isolated, and thus the government had no legal grounds to impose any of the punishing restrictions they have inflicted on society. Since this shocking confession came to light, the Province has since rescinded all Covid-Restrictions and now officially treats Covid-19 as nothing...
