Free Republic

Back in 2005, I wrote that when it comes to spending, "Congressional Republicans Make French Socialists Look Like Ronald Reagan." Looking back now, from the perspective of fiscal prudence, those were the good old days. Yet, as irresponsible as Republicans have been with our finances since then, today's Democrats seem committed to making the spendaholic GOP look like Uncle Scrooge. Let's recap: The worst of the COVID-19 emergency is hopefully behind us, meaning the country should focus on recovery, fully reopening the economy and returning to work. Government should focus on scaling back emergency programs and reducing the deficit. It's...

(LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian doctor gave a striking personal testimony of how he was removed from hospital duty in a small Alberta town because he used Ivermectin to treat three patients with severe COVID-19, two of whom responded well to the drug. In an October 1 speech on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery at a rally in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg Code, Dr. Daniel Nagase said it “shocked” him at how his COVID patients were being treated in an Alberta hospital. “Let me tell you what happened in Rimbey, Alberta, a small town a...

This is THE most important article posted during this entire political paradigm since Trump started trying to save this country (even with his faults). Please read the article in the thread linked. This IS where we are headed because we have not pulled together to mount opposition to these evil people. The other side is already a cohesive force. The time is now.Click here for VERY important article.

It’s happening everywhere. Real America is fed up and they’re telling those “in power” in so in not so subtle, or gentle ways. The chants of “F-Joe Biden” are erupting in stadium venues, concerts, and raceways from coast to coast. It’s organic, it’s real, and it's scaring the hell out of the elite who desperately hoped they could keep it muzzled. Perhaps the most crystallizing and emblematic event to illustrate just what’s happening was seen at Talladega’s NASCAR track at the conclusion of last week’s race. The winner of the weekend was a first time champion named Brandon Brown. At...

This morning’s most remarkable market observation comes from DB’s chief credit strategist Jim Ried, whose chart of the day shows that the UK may be starting at galloping, runaway inflation of up to 7% as soon as April, the direct result of the insanity taking place in Europe’s energy markets. Picking up on our obsession with soaring breakevens, this morning Reid points out that the extraordinary moves in natural gas prices have continued to drive global inflation breakevens to multi-year highs, with the stand out feature of the last 24 hours being that index-linked bonds are now implying UK Retail...

German Parking Garage Unveils Dedicated Spaces For LGBTQ And Migrant Drivers Today in “our obsession with inclusiveness is once again leading us back to segregating people” news, a car park in Germany is unveiling dedicated parking spaces for LGBTQ and migrant drivers. The three “diversity” parking spaces were put up in an underground car park in Hanau city centre, according to the Daily Mail. Hanau is considered a city of diversity already, the report noted. Hanau’s population was “already ethnically diverse” before the 2015 migrant crisis. The aim of the spots was to “help people who feel a special need...

Only a little more than half of the current world's 7 billion people are citizens of fully consensual governments. That lucky 50 percent alone enjoys constitutionally protected freedoms. Most are also Western. Or at least they reside in nations that have become "Westernized." Migrants, regardless of their race, religion or gender, almost always head for a Western nation. And most often their destination remains the United States. The more it is now fashionable for Americans to take for granted or even to ridicule the idea of their own country, the more the non-American global poor risk their lives to crash...

Coal supply shortages in Asia and Europe are pushing prices for the dirtiest fossil fuel to record highs and have become a challenge for US suppliers due to a shortage of miners, according to Bloomberg. For the last three and a half decades, the number of coal mining jobs in the US has collapsed from 180,000 to 42,500 in August. The industry remains 9,500 miners short from pre-COVID times. With coal prices worldwide screaming to all-time highs ahead of winter as China and Europe scramble for supplies, the US coal industry is failing to find new miners willing to do...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemEcclesiastes 66 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind: 2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. 3 A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off...

The era of abundance was only a short-lived artifact of the initial boost phase of globalization and financialization.Global corporations didn’t go to all the effort to establish quasi-monopolies and cartels for our convenience–they did it to ensure reliably large profits from control and scarcity. Not all scarcities are artificial, i.e. the result of cartels limiting supply to keep prices high; many scarcities are real, and many of these scarcities can be traced back to the stripping out of redundancy / multiple suppliers of industrial essentials to streamline efficiency and eliminate competition. Recall that competition and abundance are anathema to profits....

In the years running up to the 2020 election, I posited that the Democrat Party was doing all it could to keep their mob angry, but only to a certain point. They wanted their base simmering, just short of a boil, but ready at a moment’s notice to goose step off to action wherever needed. It was a delicate line they walked, they needed people mad without inspiring violence that could be blamed on them, they had to avoid creating another James Hodgkinson. Now their objective has changed…slightly. Democrats appear to be doing all they can to provoke violence against...

A Pennsylvania mother who previously pushed back against her suburban Philadelphia school district injecting critical race theory into its curriculum in 2020 joined "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Wednesday to sound off on U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland's directive targeting parents at school board meetings; which allows for the FBI to investigate claims alleged to be "intimidation" or other somewhat vague characteristics. Elana Fishbein, a doctor of social work from Gladwyne, previously worked to start a nationwide movement after learning of her fourth-grade son's "cultural proficiency" lessons in the Lower Merion Township School District. Of the texts the younger Fishbein was...

Why do you think Facebook is so excited about Section 230 reform and government regulation of Big Tech – did it suddenly start caring about free speech and the rights of citizens and unicorn liberation? No. We can’t throw these aspiring dictators into the briar patch that is government-run regulation. As Admiral Ackbar, and anyone who is even vaguely conscious sees, it’s a trap. There’s a better way, a way that will actually bring these creepy nanny statists to heel. It’s not traditional regulation – the creation of some sort of Department of Social Media serves the interests of both...

A female activist (along with a college, who is filming) approaches a female United States Senator teaching a class at a public university in Arizona and follows her into the ladies’ restroom to lecture the Senator about federal legislation the Senator will be voting on. Is this an issue of “free speech” on public policy protected under the 1st Amendment or is this a case of improper harassment and filming, contravening Arizona criminal statutes? In an article entitled The Puzzling Oversight Hearings Regarding the Withdrawal From Afghanistan, I posited that, “By design, 1,000 puzzle pieces of our national puzzle are...

"Whistleblower" Frances Haugen is a vital media and political asset because she advances their quest for greater control over online political discourse. Much is revealed by who is bestowed hero status by the corporate media. This week's anointed avatar of stunning courage is Frances Haugen, a former Facebook product manager being widely hailed as a "whistleblower” for providing internal corporate documents to the Wall Street Journal relating to the various harms which Facebook and its other platforms (Instagram and WhatsApp) are allegedly causing. The social media giant hurts America and the world, this narrative maintains, by permitting misinformation to spread...

The governor’s race in Virginia is important on many levels. The coming election test between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe is seen as an early harbinger for the very important national mid-term in 2022, and rightfully so. However, for my fellow Virginians, it might actually come down to a test of the political wisdom of the late “Tip” O’Neill, the former Massachusetts Democrat congressmen and Speaker of the House. Take a look at this Kentucky test question on a standardized exam for the gist. “The phrase, "All politics is local" is a common phrase in U.S....

Music to relax by

The Biden administration wants to go after terrorist moms. Like many of you, I love the fact that there is an editor who reads my drafts. It makes me a better writer, to say the least. I've come to the conclusion that the Biden White House needs someone to edit their messages. Why? Because they have the mother of all message problems. Check this out -- the newest episode of "My Mother the Terrorist": At issue is a new DOJ effort to combat an alleged increase in violence and threats directed at schools boards and other school officials. Many parents...
