Free Republic

Yes, our coal, gas, oil and electrical industries are our core energy infrastructure and along with transportation are absolutely vital to our economy and our national security. Yet we have an entire political party of corrupt Marxist globalists who are actively and openly planning the deliberate sabotage, destruction and ultimate bankruptcy of the entire sector. Hell, they brag about it. The out of control lawless federal government has no business trying to deliberately sabotage and deprive the operators and investors in these long established and critically necessary industries of their constitutional rights to operate in a free market economy. And...

LYNNE, FLORIDA –A 41-year-old truck driver and self-described “powerhouse progressive and LGBT” former Florida congressional candidate is dead after a final month of life filled with vitriol. Mr. Richard “Ricky” Rowe was already, for lack of better term, an unpleasant personality based on his Facebook and Twitter archives. The injections exacerbated it, providing more evidence that these shots change people’s personalities and psychological states of mind. Mr. Rowe was a truck driver by trade. But he ran for seats in the Florida House Of Representative and the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020. He lost in the primaries in the...

At least 10 Lancaster County school districts have announced a return to mask-optional policies following a Commonwealth Court decision on Wednesday voiding the state acting secretary of health’s order requiring students, employees and visitors to wear masks while inside school buildings. Conestoga Valley, Donegal, Elizabethtown Area, Ephrata Area, Hempfield, Lampeter-Strasburg, Penn Manor, Pequea Valley, Solanco and Warwick school district administrators during a frenetic Wednesday afternoon shared that they are returning to the mask-optional policy outlined in their original board-approved health and safety plans immediately. Eastern Lancaster County School District is already essentially mask-optional, as it has allowed parents to opt...

"ERs are now swamped with seriously ill patients — but many don't even have COVID," Michigan Radio reported last week. Inside the emergency department at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Mich., staff members are struggling to care for patients who are showing up much sicker than they've ever seen. Tiffani Dusang, the emergency room's nursing director, practically vibrates with pent-up anxiety, looking at all the patients lying on a long line of stretchers pushed up against the beige walls of the hospital's hallways. "It's hard to watch," she says in her warm Texan twang. But there's nothing she can do. The...

en. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), a moderate who has broken with his party over a slew of issues, took to Twitter on Wednesday to warn that unprecedented inflation is not “transitory” as his party insists, but is only “getting worse.” Currently, inflation of the U.S. dollar is at its highest level since 1990. According to the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), inflation jumped by 0.9 percent in October alone, more than doubling September’s 0.4 percent increase. The energy sector has been hit the hardest by rising costs according to different Labor Department data. The CPI showed a 30 percent...

President Joe Biden marveled at the high cost of gas on Wednesday, without offering any solutions for lowering prices. “Did you ever think you’d be paying this much for a gallon of gas?” Biden said. “In some parts of California, they’re paying $4.50 a gallon.”

DOT Secretary Buttguy is correct. I have been using racist highways since my early childhood. We lived in an area with an unpaved dusty gravel road which they tried to control with oil spray occasionally. One day a miracle happened. Big dump trucks filled with "blacktop" appeared and commenced to creating a brand new racist "blacktop" road for all of us white racists adults and children. Although created for our white use, black people and other assorted minorities were allowed to use it without cost or limitation. For years, from bicycles to cars, we loved that undusty racist blacktop highway....

A hospital nurse who was hailed a hero over the summer, and now fired from her job, is mirroring the same pain, fear and frustration felt by many others who are fighting for the legal right to keep their job if they refuse The Jab. Jenna Viani-Pascale is a now-former NICU nurse from New York state. She is one of approximately 34,000 health care workers fired or forced to quit in recent weeks when their state government ordered medical workers to get the COVID-19 shot or get fired. “We fought through the whole pandemic and then, all of a sudden,...

Video captured during a youth basketball game in Garden Grove shows a 15-year-old girl getting punched in the face by a fellow player on Sunday. The incident took place at an event hosted by Avac United, which organizes games for youth between the ages of 13 to 16 across Southern California. The victim’s mother, Alice Ham, told KTLA that she knew something was very wrong when her daughter, whose name she did not want shared, returned home after her basketball game, disoriented. Teammates and other parents filled Ham in and showed her the video. “The person in question went down...

The peaceful protests were swiftly and violently crushed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces. Again, those protests and the crackdown did not seem to be of any interest to many in the international community, especially the Western donors that fund the PA. Had the demonstrations taken place against Israel, they would doubtless have received extensive coverage and howls of outrage from the mainstream media in the West. The protesters have appealed to the European Union for help, to no avail. Attempts by the protesters to gain the attention to their plight from the international media have also been totally...

The head electrician on the Rust movie set who held dying Halyna Hutchins in his arms has sued Alec Baldwin, rookie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and assistant director Dave Halls over 'severe emotional distress' after the fatal shooting and revealed that the scene did not call for Baldwin to fire the gun. -snip- In a bombshell line, the lawsuit also revealed that the scene Baldwin was doing did not call for him to pull the trigger. The script supposedly directed the actor to draw the gun and point it in the general direction of the camera. However, 'the scene did not...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is right now wealthier beyond his wildest dreams because he created an ATM that brings in billions of dollars every month, and it is called the COVID-19 vaccine. This brand-new mRNA vaccine is very different from other vaccines that actually stop disease, this one only works if everyone takes it, and even then, it doesn’t stop anyone from contracting COVID. Bourla says that you will only be allowed to ‘get your life back’ if you agree to take his Pfizer jab. Oh, he also says vaccine refusers are criminals who kill people. “And Jacob called unto...

A Florida second grader who has been suspended 38 times for refusing to wear a mask to school confronted her local school board — and asserted that they should be in jail.

The Astroworld promoter Scoremore told staff to call dead fans "smurfs," per a planning document. The document also instructs event staff members to never say "dead" or "deceased" over the radio.

The Event Operations Plan for the two-day concert series at NRG Park in Houston instructed staff members to never use the...

Following a Department of Labor report suggesting that inflation hit a three-decade high in October, President Joe Biden released a statement that he directed the National Economic Council to reduce energy costs. “Today’s report shows an increase over last month. Inflation hurts Americans pocketbooks [sic], and reversing this trend is a top priority for me,” Biden said in a statement Wednesday. “The largest share of the increase in prices in this report is due to rising energy costs.” The president said he would direct the National Economic Council to attempt to “further reduce these costs,” regarding energy prices. Furthermore, he...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that “the pandemic continues to poke holes in our ability to get goods to where they need to go.” And “at the end of the day, the only way to resolve a pandemic-driven supply shortage is to end the pandemic.” Buttigieg said, “I would think of it in terms of supply and demand — actually, it’s three things: It’s supply and demand and it’s COVID.”

New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney, one of the most powerful Democrats in the state, conceded that he lost his reelection to truck driver Edward Durr. “I of course accept the results. I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck,” Sweeney said during a speech on Wednesday in the statehouse, conceding that a “red wave” in his district caused him to lose his longtime seat. “There were 12,000 more people that voted at this time than in 2017,” the Democrat told reporters. Durr, a Raymour & Flanigan furniture truck driver, ran a low-budget campaign and...
