Free Republic

Late in the day on Tuesday, the MI House Republican Caucus, under the leadership of Speaker Jason Wentworth and House Caucus Chair Matt Hall, have expelled the popular conservative MI State Representative Matt Maddock (R). Local far-left media was elated to see the establishment Republicans attacking one of the most popular and consistently one of the top fundraising Republican lawmaker’s in Michigan. Jonathan Oosting of the Detroit Free Press cites sources “familiar with the situation” to accuse Maddock of “allegedly violating caucus rules.” We spoke with Rep. Matt Maddock, who said he was “never given a reason” for the decision...

Back in the old days, newspapers assigned reporters to beats such as Congress, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and Health and Human Services. Now it seems like the new beats are about covering threats, foreign and domestic -- ideological threats. So, the New York Times has a "climate" department. Michael Bender was recently hired to report on "Trumpism," and the Times is seeking a political reporter on "right-wing media." Back in the old days, newspapers assigned reporters to beats such as Congress, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and Health and Human Services. Now it seems like the new beats are...

Heartaches in heartaches. US GDP growth for Q2 has stumbled to 0.446% as The Fed is launching quantitative tightening (QT) to fight the inflation that they caused in the first place. According to the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow real-time GDP tracker, US GDP growth has stumbled to a meager 0.446%. Despite the massive stimulus from The Federal Reserve and Washington DC’s massive fiscal stimulus. Biden, Powell and Congress are driving me crazy with inflation/price changes. No corporate economists, inflation is NOT a good thing. Pending home sales decline 8.9% in March, another heartache for Americans. Will The Fed say good bye...

Truth Social is currently beating Twitter & TikTok on the Apple Store pic.twitter.com/RxawVUAYKH— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 27, 2022

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) condemned Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter on Tuesday night, citing the obscure cause of “algorithmic justice” as the basis for his objection. Markey outlined his argument on – ironically enough – Twitter itself.

For too long, sunlight reflection has been the third rail of climate change politics, a relegation that has severely crippled its basic research and discussion in diplomatic circles. This situation, however, is starting to change as the devastating implications of a fast-warming planet become impossible to ignore. Today, the Council on Foreign Relations released a new Special Report on the topic: Reflecting Sunlight to Reduce Climate Risk: Priorities for Research and International Cooperation. It calls on the United States to launch a robust sunlight reflection research program and spearhead international negotiations to advance multilateral scientific assessments of and collective decision-making...

For once, this is not a joke: Who is buried in Grant’s tomb? A general who doesn’t have the Army’s highest rank. Not yet, anyway. Fans of Ulysses S. Grant are campaigning for a promotion that would elevate Grant to a rank held by only two other former generals, George Washington and the World War I hero John J. Pershing — general of the armies of the United States, above even five-star generals.

As worsening drought conditions in California and the West take a heavy economic toll on agriculture, state legislators are considering a plan to pay farmworkers $1,000 a month to help them cover the cost of necessities. The bill is meant to assist farmworkers who have fewer crops to tend as climate change limits the window for each growing season and cuts the Golden State's water supply. Under the $20-million program, eligible workers would receive a $1,000 stipend for three years. It's unclear how many farmworkers would qualify. Farmworkers would need to meet requirements to qualify for the program: - Have...

Jason Whitlock, the host of 'Fearless' on BlazeTV, expressed his delight in the panic that Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter has caused on the left, calling it an "incredible time to live," in an interview with FOX News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday. "We're looking at political climate change and the left is losing its mind," Whitlock said. "They ignored the warnings from the tea party. They ignore the warnings from the MAGA movement. They ignored the warnings delivered in a big, powerful way on January 6th and now, they have to deal with the ramifications of that." "People like...

Source: Townhall Media/Julio RosasAUSTIN, Texas — In 2018, when President Donald Trump said Islamic terrorist suspects were crossing America’s southern border among Central American caravans — just about everyone with a megaphone called him a fear-mongering, anti-immigrant liar. But the sound of silence is overwhelming now that Democrats are saying the same thing. President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is just out with two new revelations about the national security border threat posed by jihadist infiltration, putatively fake when Republicans asserted them. One revelation came by way of a Fox News Freedom of Information Act request to DHS. The...

As the proud parent of five adult children in a “blended family,” I shake my head as I have recently seen equity being pushed by progressives as a the “new normal.” Yes, no pun intended but I do have skin in this game, as three of my children are biracial while the other two were products of a single-parent home, yet all five are at the top of their respective professions despite overcoming major obstacles to include income disparity and racial discrimination in the South. I still remember to this day taking my oldest son and daughter for their school...

Last week, the New York Post reported that Wikipedia had deleted its page dedicated to Rosemont Seneca Partners claiming it was “not notable”.A Wiki Editor told the Post that Hunter’s firm is only mentioned in relation to its famous founders, Hunter Biden, Christopher Heinz, stepson of John Kerry, and Devon Archer. But “keeping it around” would cause the page to be “a magnet for conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden.”The brief page was already scant in details.It mentioned the names of the founders and states that Heinz ended his business relationship with the firm in 2014 after Biden and Archer joined...

Parent: ‘Re-creates conditions that evoke so many deeply hurtful things about this country’ A San Francisco history teacher allegedly was suspended and then forced to apologize for bringing in cotton plants for a lesson on slavery and the cotton gin. Last month, the Creative Arts Charter School teacher had brought in the plants, called “bolls,” to show “the sharp edges that had pierced hands while picking cotton and pulling out the seeds,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports. It took less than a day for the school to begin an investigation into the teacher and the lesson. Although school officials “declined...

A left-wing government watchdog group with a dubious history is demanding Apple engage in mass preemptive censorship with the removal of a free-speech-branded alternative to Twitter from its app store. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent a four-page letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday urging the American tech executive to nuke former President Donald Trump’s new platform, Truth Social, from its digital marketplace despite no violations of company guidelines. “The events of January 6, 2021 highlighted not only democracy’s vulnerabilities, but also the risks associated with the current ecosystem of online speech,” wrote CREW President...

As if anyone ever needed proof of the callousness and irresponsibility of the Biden administration regarding its open borders policy, White House spokesweasel Jen Psaki yesterday put everybody to rights.
