Free Republic

The $3.5 trillion-dollar spending bill I warned about the other day is revealed as a communist takeover in this excellent article. No one in this audience is fooled by the idea of elections, knowing the method for years, unveiled in the 2020 election because of the desperation of the left. It might startle some of those less attentive, however. Your Republican senators are willing to vote for this, which shows the contempt they have for not only the American people, but the American process, the republic itself. Understand, this is at a time when Joe Biden's approval is at 42%...

The Department of Defense and Marine Corps bar active-duty troops from participating in “partisan political” activities. Military personnel cannot “speak before a partisan political gathering, including any gathering that promotes a partisan political party, candidate, or cause,” according to policy. Lance Cpl. Hunter Clark spoke for less than a minute at Trump’s event as the Republican former president stood by at the “Save America Rally” at the Georgia state fairgrounds in Perry last Saturday. Clark introduced himself as the “guy that pulled the baby over the wall” outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, last month during the...

"First you win the argument, then you win the vote." That advice from Margaret Thatcher has been ignored by resident Joe Biden and Democratic Party leaders to their detriment. Democrats, aided by former President Donald Trump's denigration of Georgia's electoral system, which gifted them the state's two Senate seats, were gifted by voters with the narrowest of legislative majorities: 51 to 50 in the Senate and 220 to 212 (with three current vacancies) in the House. Biden himself won the crucial three swing states by just 42,918 popular votes. Incautiously, Democrats plunged into policymaking without making anything like cognizable policy...

Even this late in the process, it’s still impossible for a mere member of the public to find out in much detail what all may be buried in the massive “budget reconciliation” bill now making its way through Congress. And the whole thing may yet get stopped, or substantially reduced, by the unexpected good sense of a couple of Democratic Senators (or even just one). Nevertheless, there is enough general information about what is planned by the bill’s proponents to give us some insights into the economic wreckage that could be coming if these people get their way. Among things...

WASHINGTON - Something unexpected is happening at U.S. military bases hosting Afghan evacuees: Many hundreds of them are simply leaving before receiving U.S. resettlement services, two sources familiar with the data told Reuters. The number of "independent departures," which top 700 and could be higher, has not been previously reported. But the phenomenon is raising alarms among immigration advocates concerned about the risks to Afghans who give up on what is now an open-ended, complex and completely voluntary resettlement process. In the speed and chaos of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August following 20 years of war, many evacuees...

The Democrat party’s ability to weaponize COVID is something unparalleled in American history. If you look around you can’t find a single thing America is doing right, unless “right,” means to deliberately destroy the nation. In light of the comprehensive assault against Americans, we who notice are told we’re crazy, we should ignore it, or we’re “canceled.” Yet the obvious trap that’s been strung leads inevitably to totalitarianism unless we break free from blind complacency or fear. Energy policy threatens our gas supply and the government, simultaneously heightening COVID fear and promising to keep us “safe,” is abetting rapid inflation....

FRANKFURT, Germany — Sharply higher oil and gas prices helped push annual inflation in the 19 countries that use the euro to its highest in more than a decade, the European Union’s statistics agency said Friday. The overall inflation level, boosted by a jolting 17.4% increase in energy prices, is the euro area’s highest since 2008. Higher prices for natural gas and electricity have spread concern among European governments, which are taking steps to limit rises in residential utility bills through subsidies and tax cuts.

One explanation may be her long fascination with Edith Wilson. She admired and apparently coveted the role that Mrs. Wilson filled after President Woodrow had a stroke. Many Biden watchers have long observed Jill Biden’s grasping obsession with becoming the First Lady. Throughout the campaign as Joe Biden’s failing mental abilities became more and more obvious, did she love him enough to end it? Oh no, not Jill. She continued on with her elder abuse. One explanation may be her long fascination with Edith Wilson. She admired and apparently coveted the role that Mrs. Wilson filled after President Woodrow had...

MOSCOW, Sept 30 – Russia’s former Imperial capital is set to play host to the wedding of a descendant of the Russian royal family in the first such event in more than a century. Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov will tie the knot with Italian fiancée Victoria Romanovna Bettarini at St. Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg on Friday in an elaborate religious ceremony with hundreds of foreign guests in attendance. Russia’s last tsar Nicholas II, his wife and five children were killed by a revolutionary firing squad in July 1918 in the cellar of a merchant’s house in Yekaterinburg, a...

The sudden end of Gladys Berejiklian's premiership means NSW's 'roadmap to freedom' may look radically different once her successor takes power. NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet is the frontrunner to take over from Ms Berejiklian with Planning Minister Rob Stokes and Tourism Minister Stuart Ayres also considered contenders when the NSW Liberal parliamentary party meets to choose a new leader on Tuesday. While Ms Berejiklian has stuck closely to the plan endorsed by the national cabinet for a path out of Covid-19 restrictions, Mr Perrotet's public statements reveal a less patient approach to re-opening the NSW economy. While he has been...

The famous words of Marine Corps legend Chesty Puller apply to political prisoner Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller. Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller sits jailed at the moment, a political prisoner of the Biden administration. He had the audacity to open his mouth, tell the Truth, and demand accountability over the Afghanistan debacle. Instead of accepting his resignation, Biden's minions orchestrated a situation whereby the Marine Corps refused his resignation and threw him in jail for the Truth that he told. Lt. Col. Scheller was just doing his job as a Marine. He's a hero. Do not worry, being thrown into the...

A 12% rise in the energy price cap has taken effect amid warnings further increases are inevitable in the months ahead as wholesale costs surge in a time of "chaos" for the wider economy. Labour, which has claimed a "winter of discontent" looms, accused the government of complacency over "the fuel crisis, energy costs crisis, and supply chain crisis" - factors all being blamed for adding to consumer and business costs. The price cap shift will affect more than 15 million households stuck on so-called default tariffs - price plans for gas and electricity provision that are automatically charged to...

Don't blame capitalism for the USA's problems. We don't really have a capitalist system. A recent Fox News poll reported that 59% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism compared with 49% who have a favorable view of capitalism. A few weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi, while speaking at an event in London, commented that capitalism has not served our country as well as it should. Why all the ill will for capitalism? Conventional wisdom seems to be that the widening gap between the haves and have-nots is driving the shift away from capitalism and toward socialism. The gap is...

@julie_kelly2 Not a day goes by that the FBI isn’t a national disgrace. Abolishing this agency and starting from scratch should be a pledge made by every single Republican Congressional/Senate candidate next year.

"Unfortunately, Jan. 6 was not an isolated event," warned FBI Director Christopher Wray last winter: "The problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now, and it's not going away anytime soon." Since he became director in 2017, said Wray, FBI domestic terrorism investigations had doubled in number to more than 2,000, and FBI investigations of white supremacists had tripled. Listening to Wray, one came away with the impression that right-wing terrorism was our foremost internal security issue, that the Jan. 6 riot was a manifestation of that terrorism, and that white supremacists top...

Myriad failed programs show that our government and its many employees have goals entirely separate from the welfare of America and her citizens. Reagan once said: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." He was right, the government’s not your friend and it most certainly isn’t here to help you. The dirty little secret about government is that its purpose is not really to make the lives of citizens better but, rather, to accumulate power at the expense of citizens. Not sure about that? Ask yourself, how many...

resident Joe Biden ran for president, in part, on the idea of being a national unifier -- someone who could work across the aisle and strike a bipartisan compromise. But that's not at all the way he's governing. The media is fine with it. They're rooting for routing Republicans. Let's recall Biden's speech at his party's national convention in 2020. "But while I will be a Democratic candidate, I will be an American president. I will work as hard for those who didn't support me as I will for those who did. That's the job of a president. To represent...
