Free Republic

I don’t know about the rest of you, but politics in America has become really, really exhausting. We bounce around from one freaking political or government crisis to the next one, and we’re never given a single moment to try to catch our breath. Every single day Democrats are calling anyone who doesn’t believe as they do vile names, and Republicans while generally not as graphic as their Democrat counterparts, are still at times also guilty of extreme rhetoric. Whatever happened to reasonable people sitting down and hashing things out and coming to a mutually acceptable agreement, without the vitriol...

Last year, I was told, along with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, that we were crazy for thinking the Covid "vaccines" were shedding onto the unvaccinated. Now, it's been proven by the University of Colorado. When I interview Dr. Sherri Tenpenny last year, it was the first time I’d ever heard an in-depth description of Covid vaccine “shedding.” That was back in May when the big push to get every man, woman, and child on earth jabbed was just getting ramped up. We were censored heavily at the time; the powers-that-be DEFINITELY did not want people concerned that those who have been...

New, higher fencing was installed outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night after the third day of protests over abortion rights. The 8-foot fence completely encircles the Supreme Court building. Pro- and anti-abortion rights protesters first flocked to the high court Monday night, spurred by a leaked draft opinion that suggested Supreme Court justices are prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision that affirmed the right to an abortion nationwide. Protesters returned Tuesday and Wednesday, and more demonstrations are expected in the coming weeks. Capitol Police say they are preparing for any potential demonstrations. So far,...

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg gave an impassioned speech about abortion and women's rights during the show's broadcast days after a draft opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito striking down Roe v. Wade was leaked.

Ford Motors admitted this month that its huge gamble on electric vehicles caused it to lose $3.1 billion already this year. The Detroit giant sunk $5.4 billion in its newest electric vehicle (EV), the Ford Rivian, during the first quarter of this year. And it was one gigantic loser. According to the company’s earnings report released on Wednesday, Ford reported revenue of $34.5 billion between January and March, a 5% decline over the same period in 2021, and a net loss of $3.1 billion. “A net loss of $3.1 billion was primarily attributable to a mark-to-market loss of $5.4 billion...

Politicians, the Federal Reserve, and Fed and administration apologists like to claim that the inflation we face is caused by supply constraints. This claim goes against the facts on the ground. According to the World Trade Organization, even though there was a collapse in trade at the beginning of the pandemic, trade in intermediate goods -- critical inputs in finalized products -- quickly recovered despite port and shipping bottlenecks. Sure, it increased at a slower rate than before, but trade was still rising. In addition, data from the main U.S. ports show that after declining at the beginning of the...

Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell” that his opponent Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), has used his power in an “evil” way to control women. O’Rourke said, “Texas is a place where so much of this started as you know this laboratory for extremism when it comes to voter suppression, when it comes to things like permit-less carry. And now ending the right to privacy, tabortion, starting from conception.”

Political science students study many forms of government: democracies, communist states, oligarchies, and the like. But the Lord Dominator of Georgia, Brian Kemp, has excelled at perfecting his Kleptocracy, a less-familiar government form that is widely found in the corrupt states of Africa, Banana Republic Land, and Chicago. A Kleptocracy (from the Greek word kleptes, "thief") is a government run by leaders who redistribute the wealth and land of citizens to benefit themselves via outright theft. Click the image below to see full-screen. In medieval times, Robin Hood robbed the rich to feed the poor. But Kleptocrats flip the...

SEMINOLE, Okla. (KFOR) — It was like a scene out of the movie ‘Twister‘. A damaging tornado went through parts of Seminole, Oklahoma on Wednesday. While there is widespread damage, one school was hit especially hard. The Academy of Seminole took a direct hit with people inside. One of the teachers at the school was there with her children and husband. They took cover in a vault located in the building. And like a scene out of the movie ‘Twister‘ where a man holds the storm shelter door shut during a tornado, protecting his family, it played out in real...

Employees of these woke companies who live in red states will still be able to obtain abortions should Roe v. Wade be overturned. Since conservative-leaning states began flexing their legislative muscles to outlaw abortion within their borders or severely limit its practice, companies from the likes of Amazon to Yelp have been drafting policies that will pay for employees’ abortions should they live in a state that outlaws the practice. After Politico published the leaked Supreme Court decision indicating that Roe v. Wade may be in its final days, more and more companies have been actively considering implementing such a...

Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that she is “converted” with “zeal” to an unequivocal supporter of the right to abortion access. Abrams said, “I’m unequivocal. I believe in their right to an abortion. And this is something I came to over many years. I grew up in the deep South in a religious community, where the question of abortion was almost unequivocally no. But it took my exposure to a broader set of conversations, including to a friend, dear friend in Mississippi who had to make a tough choice without the support she...

When I graduated from college in the mid-1970s with a degree in speech, theater, and communication, I remember telling a friend that I thought the one thing liberals hated most was free speech. Now, some 45 years later, we’re all finding out that the Left has gone far beyond just hating free speech to an unabashed hatred of “truth” itself. Of course, there are some who might say, along with Pontius Pilate, “What is truth?” But that’s the very point of free speech. The worthwhile and educational idea of debate clubs, popular when I was in high school and college,...

Actress Rosanna Arquette believes that abortion is such an incredibly sacred right that “millions of women” are now looking to flee the country now that Roe v. Wade stands on the cusp of being potentially overturned. “Millions of women are figuring out how to get out of this country for good,” the Pulp Fiction actress exclaimed. Arquette later deleted the tweet, but her pro-abortion activism continued. “Let’s see and hear all the Good men out there (because there are many )stand with us now stand up to the barbaric Tyranny that is happening to American women,” she tweeted. “Stand up...

NASCAR suspended the wrong crew member after a wheel came off Denny Hamlin’s car at Dover on Monday. Hamlin’s crew didn’t get the left-front wheel tight on his car during a pit stop after the conclusion of the first stage of the race. As Hamlin was the first car to leave pit road, the wheel came off and came to a stop near the inside wall at the end of pit lane. The 2022 Cup Series cars have just one lug nut instead of five and loose wheels have been a significant issue for teams as they struggle with the...

NATO has 30 members. By the end of June, the roster may grow to 32, should Finland and Sweden join. The Nordic duo has fans. On April 29 U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the House Foreign Affairs Committee America will "strongly support" NATO membership for Sweden and Finland. On April 28 Jans Stoltenberg, a Norwegian and NATO's secretary-general since October 2014, told international press that "Finland and Sweden are our closest partners, they are strong, mature democracies, EU members, and we have worked with Finland and Sweden for many, many years." Stoltenberg added: "We know that their armed...

The FBI decision to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser hinged on an unsubstantiated rumor from a Clinton campaign-paid dossier that the Washington Post’s Moscow sources had quickly shot down as “bullshit” and “impossible,” according to emails disclosed last week to a D.C. court hearing the criminal case of a Clinton lawyer accused of lying to the FBI. APThough the FBI presumably had access to better sources than the newspaper, agents did little to verify the rumor that Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page had secretly met with sanctioned Kremlin officials in Moscow. Instead, the bureau pounced on the...

Once is an accident. Twice, a coincidence. Three times is a pattern. But four times is an act of war. Who has declared war on us by setting fire and explosions to America's food processing plants? In the last four months, 16 major fires have erupted at food industry facilities and plants. Sixteen. This does not seem to be a conspiracy theory. It seems to be a conspiracy. In a General Mills plant in Iowa this month, two major incidents within 48 hours took place; one was a roof fire, the other at a General Mills facility in Covington, Georgia...

As pretty much everyone knows by now unless they're living on a deserted island with no Wi-Fi, someone within the U.S. Supreme Court breached professional protocol and leaked a copy of a draft opinion. The draft, written by Justice Samuel Alito, purports to show a 5-4 majority of the Court ready to overrule the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade and declare that there is no federal constitutional right to an abortion. Clearly, the leaker is looking to foment outrage and create public pressure on one or more of the five justices to change their votes. Right on cue --...

President Biden is saying that "ultra-MAGA" people are the most extreme political party in recent memory. President Biden is saying that "ultra-MAGA" people are the most extreme political party in recent memory. Of course, Biden and other Democrats always claim that anyone who disagrees with their radical leftist policies are dangerous extremists. In 2011, Biden likened Tea Party members who wanted lower taxes and smaller government to domestic terrorists. The Obama/Biden administration used the politicized IRS to target and silence Tea Party members. The First Amendment has never meant anything to leftists. Sources: Biden likened tea partiers to 'terrorists' Vice...
