Free Republic

Establishment Republicans are a middling lot who have attained and retained their side of the Capitol Hill power dynamic by ostensibly doing the least amount of work to further the agenda of the right while acting like a sieve against the unrelenting pressure of their progressive opposition. So, as the RINOs of the party slide toward the left courtesy of the Overton Window, it only seems appropriate that, where Democrats so often have their own past statements raised to dispute their current posturing, Republican leaders would get slammed for straying from conservative values by a gun-grabbing ideologue. In 2019, Rep....

It's the photo they tried to hide, but DailyMail.com has obtained the mug shot of shame-faced Paul Pelosi after he was arrested on DUI charges last month. Pelosi, 82, was collared by California Highway Patrol officers in Oakville, California, on May 28 after he blew through a stop sign in his 2021 Porsche and hit a Jeep. The mugshot, which shows Pelosi wearing a neat brown suit and collared shirt, would have been taken shortly after the late-night incident. Pelosi, who had a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, is scheduled to appear in court over the incident on August 3....

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered global condemnation and tough sanctions aimed at denting Moscow’s war chest. Yet Russia’s revenues from fossil fuels, by far its biggest export, soared to records in the first 100 days of its war on Ukraine, driven by a windfall from oil sales amid surging prices, a new analysis shows.Russia earned what is very likely a record 93 billion euros in revenue from exports of oil, gas and coal in the first 100 days of the country’s invasion of Ukraine, according to data analyzed by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air, a research...

DUNCANVILLE, Texas — Police on Monday shot and killed a man who showed up at a Duncanville summer camp with a gun and then exchanged shots with officers, officials said.

More froggie cuteness. Alas, no subtitles for the original Japanese, but not really needed. Video: 3 minutes, 15 seconds

In a video released Sunday, June 12, former Southern Baptist Convention President Jack Graham endorsed current presidential candidate Tom Ascol — a move shocking to some convention insiders and a potential game-changer in this week’s contest for leadership. Ascol and Graham hold divergent theological views, with Ascol being a staunch Calvinist and Graham being a more traditional conservative evangelical. And by endorsing Ascol, who is a Florida pastor, Graham bypassed another candidate, Bart Barber, whose church is located 37 miles away from Graham’s. Barber, pastor of First Baptist Church of Farmersville, Texas, is considered the institutionalist candidate in this year’s...

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) Sunday on MSNBC’s “Symone” invited President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to join her on the campaign trail. Host Symone Sanders said, “Can we expect to see the president and vice president join you on the trail closer to November?” Abrams said, “We invite anyone who wants to see Georgia move forward to come here, and that means President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. But what we’re talking about are the needs of the state of Georgia. She continued, “Just today, we announced that we intend to raced teacher pay....

To most historians of the 17th Century Stuart era, John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government rationalized the Glorious Revolution of 1688. At least one historian, Peter Laslett, disagrees. To Laslett, Locke’s texts were instead a call for revolutions yet to come. Not only did Locke’s philosophy call for our 1776 revolution, it reaches out to us today . . . but with a twist. Where Locke gave little attention to the nuts and bolts of how a community goes about restoring free government after its dissolution, our Framers provided the solution in Article V of their Constitution. Locke didn’t conceptualize...

(Reuters) - Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields hit their highest level since 2011 on Monday, and a key part of the yield curve inverted for the first time since April as investors braced for the prospect that the Federal Reserve’s attempts to stem soaring inflation will dent the economy.Yields jumped after data on Friday showed that U.S. consumer prices accelerated in May as gasoline prices hit a record high and the cost of food soared, leading to the largest annual increase in nearly 40-1/2 years.The Fed is expected to hike rates by 50 basis points when it concludes its two-day meeting...

In an Associated Press story about an effort backed by Democrat fundraisers to purchase Spanish-language radio stations in south Florida, something odd was spotted: I'm so confused by this article.The AP says it interviewed Miami Radio host Martha Flores on Wednesday, but she's been dead for two years.How the hell did they pull this off?

I was just wondering, since it appears they haven't yet.

(Translation) Attorney [and political commentator] Iván Rivera stated that the Puerto Rican Independence Party [PIP] has done damage to the independence [cause]. "The PIP has done enormous damage to the independence [cause] with those alliances and associations (with the socialist sector) since this is an eminently capitalist island [which] does not believe in a socialist project, although there are people within the government and the Legislature here who behave like socialists," he said. "[The PIP] has never presented an economic project based on a capital-based economy taking advantage of the relationship with the United States and the funds that are...

Explanation: The Whirlpool Galaxy is a classic spiral galaxy. At only 30 million light years distant and fully 60 thousand light years across, M51, also known as NGC 5194, is one of the brightest and most picturesque galaxies on the sky. The featured image is a digital combination of images taken in different colors by the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, highlighting many sharp features. Anyone with a good pair of binoculars, however, can see this Whirlpool toward the constellation of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici). M51 is a spiral galaxy of type Sc and is the dominant member of a...

Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who was nominated by voters in May as the Republican nominee for governor, doesn’t give the media much credit for accuracy. “They, and their boosters on the left, are the ones who want to tell us what to think,” Mastriano told The Epoch Times in a candid interview. “They’re the ones who told us that the [Black Lives Matter] protests were mostly peaceful as city blocks were burning and dozens of people were being killed. But then they’ll flip it on us on Jan. 6 and try to say how outrageous that was—which it was–but...

House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, called it “an honor” to make a guest appearance on the latest episode of the drag show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” “It was an honor to make an appearance on episode 5 of @RuPaulsDragRace All Stars 7 this week,” Pelosi said. “I was inspired by the contestants because they know their power. Their freedom of expression is what America is all about.” During her appearance, Pelosi told the contestants she was proud of them and thanked them “for the joy and beauty they bring to the world.” “Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what...

Not nibbling on baby formula, watching gasoline prices soar. Wasting away again in Biden/Powellville. It was closing hell for a terrible day in markets as investors struggle to process the dreadful and seemingly endless inflation report on Friday. What happened today? The NASDAQ tanked -4.58% and the 10-year Treasury yield jumped 22.2 basis points. Gulp. The 22.2 bps jump in the 10-year Treasury yield has led to Agency MBS prices pulling a Titanic and sank. Somehow, I don’t think that Biden and Congress are going to help the middle class and low-wage workers.
