Free Republic

They're ending pronouns and still coming for your light bulbs. The left never rests. The moment they achieve one major victory over common sense, they immediately push farther afield in search of their next conquest. They are relentless. They have strung together an impressive array of startling victories in recent years. They got a candidate elected president of the United States - twice - who openly claimed he wanted to fundamentally change America. They got Obamacare pushed through. They have legalized gay marriage. They are forcing public spaces, schools, and even private companies to accommodate the transgendered, the non-gendered, and...

Trump-endorsed candidate for South Carolina’s Seventh Congressional District Rep. Russell Fry joined Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM with host Matthew Boyle to discuss his race and the future of the America First agenda. Russell Fry, who is a state representative in South Carolina, criticized his opponent Tom Rice, arguing that “people are tired of wallflowers who say one thing and do another,” going on to say that Rice has “abandoned talking about his record.” Representative Fry is endorsed by Donald Trump, while Rice, who currently holds the seat, voted to impeach the former president. Fry even pointed out that Rice...

Last week I had a post titled “A Chink In The Armor Of The Progressive Administrative State.” The post discussed a recent case out of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Jarkesy v. SEC, where the Fifth Circuit ruled that an SEC prosecution of Mr. Jarkesy before its own Administrative Law Judge violated the Constitution for, among other things, denying Mr. Jarkesy his right to a jury trial, and giving the SEC unfettered discretion to decide which of its prosecutions can avoid federal District Court jurisdiction. In the Jarkesy case, a relatively new organization called the New Civil Liberties Alliance...

Australia’s biggest state of New South Wales (NSW) launched a fresh round of firearm destruction Tuesday, disposing of weapons seized and gathered by local law enforcement officers. The haul of 2809 firearms came into police possession after being seized through criminal investigations, located as abandoned property, and surrendered. The state has a population of just over eight million people.

However, there is a path back from the abyss and Justice Alito has provided the way. Precisely because I was born in a Norman Rockwell painting and have already lived past my allotted span, it is exceedingly embarrassing and bitter to realize that, on my watch, the Left has taken possession of the Democrat party and, through that party, has seized control of the executive branch of the federal government, which today constitutes the greatest existential enemy to the American Republic. Nevertheless, there is a path back and Justice Alito has provided the way. We live in a bewildering time,...

Ten of those 52 people who were shot died, authorities said. More than a quarter were wounded in a single police district on the West Side. Memorial Day weekend in Chicago has again lived up to its violent expectations. By Tuesday morning, 52 people had been shot in the city over the holiday weekend, as the Chicago Police Department canceled officers’ days off in anticipation of the historically violent unofficial start of summer. About half of the shooting victims were wounded on the West Side, while the South Side saw about 14 victims. The downtown area, which has seen several...

Canada’s government, headed by its prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has introduced drastic anti-gun legislation that, if passed, will mean (in Trudeau’s words) that “it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada.” This is one more step in Canada’s mostly relentless push (only slightly alleviated during the Stephen Harper administration) to bring all weapons under government control. This never ends well for a nation’s people. Even though Canada and America come from the same British tradition that, under the Magna Carta and the 1689 Bill of Rights, recognized certain English rights, they took...

WASHINGTON, Friday, May 30. A telegraphic dispatch has just been received at the War Department from an unofficial source, stating that the rebels left Corinth last night, and that Gen. NELSON occupied their intrenchments at 8 o'clock this morning. WASHINGTON, Friday, May 30. A dispatch just received at the War Department, fully corroborates the former message that Corinth is evacuated by the rebels and occupied by our troops. Prisoners say the enemy left last night for Okolona, a point about 60 miles south of Corinth, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. [Okolona is a hamlet and post village in Chickasaw...

Last week marked the conclusion of the annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos, an event with particular focus on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. These goals, collectively known as Agenda 2030, are a set of objectives designed to be a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” The Agenda includes seventeen Goals, like “No Poverty” and “Zero Hunger” – however, underneath the facade of humanitarianism is a malevolent truth: Agenda 2030 is nothing more than an assault on national sovereignty and common people by the...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 11The Tower of Babel 11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”...

Down in Colombia, Gustavo Petro, the leftist candidate, came in first place but did not clinch a victory. So he will have to face Rodolfo Hernandez, the populist outsider, who may benefit from key endorsements. This is the story: The great danger was that Gustavo Petro -- a left-wing extremist who belonged to the M-19 guerrilla group and supported by the FARC terrorist organization -- would win in the first round. However, he obtained 40% of the votes, which is not enough to win in the first round. Rodolfo Hernandez got 28% and Gutierrez, 23%. It is most likely that...

With all the (alleged) social justice activism recently, we are supposed to be living in a nirvana of racial equality. We are supposed to be sensitive to anything that could be perceived as a racial bias, as it could offend others. We were warned that what some find humorous, others may find hurtful and insulting, and we must curb our speech. And, in an effort to treat everyone fairly, we have been told we must stop the aggression in our speech — both micro and macro. Yet all of these guidelines get completely ignored when it comes to one specific...

When anything goes wrong in America, our liberal friends are first on the hustings to assign the blame to corporations or right-wing extremists. If it’s soaring prices, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is the first to blame it on “corporate greed.” If some kid murders a bunch of elementary school kids, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tweets that a “serious cause of gun violence [is] Domestic terrorism and white supremacy.” But I say to my liberal friends, if there is anything wrong in America today it is because of Youse Guys. Because you guys have been the ruling class in America for...

President Joe Biden is set to meet with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday to discuss the state of the economy. The central bank is currently battling decades-high Inflation. The meeting will be the first time the two have met since Biden announced Powell’s re-election as chair in November. The Senate confirmed Powell to the position in early May.

Year over year, prices rose 8.3% in April, down from 8.5% in...

THE entire city of Wadena was under a shelter in place order as hazardous materials burned at Minnesota Valley Irrigation. The building has since been deemed a total loss after the Wadena Fire Department issued a warning for all residents in the Minnesota city to stay inside as the fire raged.

Emergency responders on the scene were briefly evacuated around 6pm due to a tornado warning, taking refuge at the Wadena County Courthouse, according to the Wadena Fire Department. When crews...

<p>The attention American Legion posts receive every Memorial Day is often overshadowed by what happens during the rest of the year; and what’s been happening for the last several decades.</p><p>The once-thriving membership of veterans — from World War I and World War II, followed by the Korean and Vietnam wars are getting older. But George Van Der Wall, station commander at the post in North Haledon in Passaic Counry, isn’t ready to give up the fight just yet.</p>
