Free Republic

No one can actually say, at this point, why exactly Glenn Youngkin defeated Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia governor's race. That doesn't mean everyone isn't already saying everything, however, or that it doesn't matter that a Republican just won fairly handily in a state Joe Biden carried by 10 points a year ago...... Speaking of which, one of the newer fundamentals in this country's politics is that elections are only legitimate if Republicans win them. At least according to Republicans. You may notice there have been zero concerns raised about Voter Fraud or any other phantasmagorical election threat in the...

Republicans raked in sweeping elections wins in Long Island on Tuesday, making gains that New York’s political establishment didn’t expect.Republicans won county executive and comptroller races in Nassau County, a blue-leaning bellwether that President Joe Biden won by 10 points in the 2020 presidential election.I can't put into words the stunning turn of politics happening on Long Island tonight. Republicans are leading in all major races. County Exec, District Atty, County Clerk, County Comptroller, N. Hempstead, Oyster Bay and Hempstead town supervisors, and several key leg races…— Randi Marshall (@randimarshall) November 3, 2021The wins amount to historic Republican gains in...

A new book details the personalities, and the science, that made COVID vaccines a reality There's the slick, turtleneck-loving CEO who's really good at raising cash for his company that has yet to release any data. There's the workaholic power couple focused on curing cancer. There's the researcher who co-invented a recombinant DNA technology but stays at a small biotech that's limping along. All of these characters are the unlikely heroes who helped bring COVID-19 vaccines into the world, and their personalities are brought to life by Wall Street Journal reporter Greg Zuckerman in his new book, A Shot to...

“When I joined the Marine Corps, I was still a Jamaican. But this country had done so much for me, I was willing, willing, to die for this country,” Sears​, a Marine veteran, told a boisterous crowd in Chantilly, Va., before leading them in a chant of “USA.” “I’m telling you that what you are looking at is the American dream,” said Sears​, a mother of three daughters. Supporters linked to photos of Sears holding ​an assault-style weapon on social media on Election Day. Sears, a staunch supporter of Second Amendment gun rights, also used a photo of her holding...

[Catholic Caucus] An Unwanted “Gift” from Cardinal Cupich The blog PrayTell has recently published an article from Blase Cardinal Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, in which His Eminence makes some rather strange and bizarre claims in order to justify what he sees as the "The Gift of Traditionis Custodes". Firstly, the Cardinal makes the following rather odd analogy:In 1983, Pope John Paul II reformed the Code of Canon Law of 1917, in order to insure that Church Law conformed to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. Likewise, the saintly pope in 1993 [sic] reformed the Catechism of the Catholic...

Dear friends, was last night's election wins for Republican candidates a good sign of things to come? That really is the question at hand in light of our EXPONENTIALLY growing lawless society and imploding culture. It is kind of exciting to see some big commie leftists like Terry "the Punk" Mcalliff lose the Virginia governor race and that people are somewhat waking up a little bit in light of our full-blown cultural Marxist society and culture. Again, is such a big win for Republicans a sign or harbinger of good things to come or is it rather a slight physical...

Also also media: McAuliffe was destroyed in a D +10 state, Republicans swept higher offices and take back Virginia House, but let's obsess again over Trump anyway, here's how Republicans need to change even though they won big, and maybe blame Russian interference for McAuliffe losing.

In light of our EXPONENTIAL lawless and imploding day, How can we sing, God, Bless America without national repentance to Him in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in Spirit and ETERNAL Truth? The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! How Can I Sing God Bless America (Lyrics) (Gal. 1:4, Col. 3:1-4, Heb. 11:6,10-14, 2 Peter 1:4, Rev. 21, 22:1-5) This present day, I stand amazed At the realms which lawless men abound When haters rage against our godly founding And righteous men are scarcely to be found How can I sing, God bless America When our nation abhors the living God When righteousness...

The New Jersey governor’s race has emerged as an unexpected nail-biter, as roughly 15,000 votes separated the incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy (D) from his Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli as of Wednesday afternoon. Murphy went into Election Day with a solid advantage in polls, leading his Republican challenger by an average of 7.8 points, per RealClearPolitics. However, after the polls closed and the results flooded in Tuesday night, all eyes turned to the Garden State as Ciattarelli took the lead, outperforming expectations.

President Joe Biden blamed “confusion” in the American electorate on Wednesday for his party taking a beating politically in elections across the country. “I just think that people are at a point, and it’s understandable, where there’s a whole lot of confusion,” Biden said, referring to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, potential tax breaks, and schools remaining open.

[Russian Orthodox] Bishop Says Joe Biden “Cant’ Call Himself a Catholic” Because He Promotes AbortionsJoe Biden should stop calling himself a Catholic if he continues to “violate Christian morality” by promoting abortions, a Russian Orthodox bishop said this week.Breitbart reports Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev, who chairs the Department of External Church Relations for the Russian Orthodox Church, responded to journalists’ questions about abortion and the United States president after Biden visited Pope Francis at the Vatican last week.The U.S. president “cannot call himself a Catholic and at the same time violate and call for violation of the fundamental norms of Christian...

Alec Baldwin and the crew of Rust have been accused of breaking at least four key movie industry gun safety protocols before the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin and his co-workers appear to have violated rules from the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, against pointing a gun at a member of the cast or crew unless absolutely necessary. The alliance's rules - last revised in April 2003 - warn: 'Refrain from pointing the firearm at anyone, including yourself. If it is absolutely necessary to do so on camera, consult the property master or other safety representative... Remember that...

Hours after Decision Desk called the Virginia gubernatorial race for Republican Glenn Youngkin in a come-from-behind upset Tuesday, CNN finally got around early Wednesday to admitting to the writing on the wall as the GOP swept the races for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and took the majority in the House of Delegates. CNN’s response? Declaring the country “incredibly divided” and suggesting Republicans couldn’t use the Youngkin model for more victories in other states. Cutting away from Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s speech, CNN host Jake Tapper broke the news CNN viewers were dreading. “CNN is projecting that Republican...

Had some business this morning during a taping of a certain "game show" for sweeps week early next year. One of the contestants during the interview session asks "can I make a shout out to my brother Brandon. He is suffering from depression because he umm, lost his job and house" lib host: "Oh, sure fire away" contestant: "You can do it. Let's go Brandon!" lib host: "that's very nice of you.

President Biden on Wednesday denied his administration is considering paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to each migrant separated from their family under the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy. "That’s not gonna happen," Biden told reporters when asked about the reported plan. The Wall Street Journal first reported last week that the administration was contemplating a payment of roughly $450,000 per person for separated migrant parents and children.

Former Trump election attorney Wren Williams has declared victory in his Virginia House of Delegates race against Black Lives Matter-aligned Democrat Bridgette Craighead. The landslide win puts the finishing touches on a run that saw Williams energize grassroots conservatives against the district’s uni-party establishment, unseating a 7 term GOP incumbent during primary season. Raking in a whopping 77% of the general election vote, Wren Williams will join a new Republican majority when he’s sworn in to Virginia’s House of Delegates. The GOP will also enjoy total domination of statewide elected offices, a stark contrast to recent years of single party...

It was a horrendous night on Tuesday for liberals as Republicans were poised to sweep into power in previously blue Virginia and running a close race for New Jersey’s governor’s mansion. And with that, MSNBC was beside itself with DEFCON-1 levels of hysteria that showed, at least for one night, that the far-left cable journalists and pundits had learned nothing. MSNBC again turned to Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Nicolle Wallace to lead their coverage from 6:45 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern and, quite simply, it was a rhetorical bloodbath with unhinged hatred about Republicans having “turned the suburbs” into...
