Free Republic

Joe Biden has made his obsession with President Trump known, most recently through his hellishly lit Mussolini-meltdown speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia last week, manically painting Trump and all his voters as "threats to the republic."Heil #Shitler pic.twitter.com/sgOS2nx6w0 — Badabing (@bada_b1ng1) September 2, 2022He may be doddering and insentient, but he still burns bright against his potential opponent in the 2024 presidential race, which even Democrats don't want him to get involved with. On Trump, Biden's as obsessed with Trump as Stalin was with Trotsky.So it comes to light that not only has Biden tried to smear Trump as...

I have a special word for all who face impossibilities: A recovery of faith depends on a fuller revelation of the love of our heavenly Father toward us. “The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17, NKJV).Here is a glorious revelation of the steadfastness of God’s love for his people. Scripture tells us he rests and rejoices in his love for us! The Hebrew word for “quiet” here means God hasn’t a single...

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake wants Democrats and the corrupt corporate media, which constantly demonize the more than 74 million people who voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, to know there’s nothing wrong with asking questions about election irregularities. In response to a question from what appeared to be a journalist at a campaign event, Lake made that abundantly clear.“You said you feel like Joe Biden is dividing the country, but do you feel like Donald Trump is doing the same by falsely telling people that he won that election when he lost it?” the man...

“Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority” (Matthew 10:1). When Jesus summoned His twelve disciples, He was making more than a casual request. The word Matthew used is an intense term that means to call someone to oneself in order to confront him face-to-face. It is used of God’s calling the Gentiles to Himself through the gospel (Acts 2:39) and of His calling His chosen men and entrusting them to proclaim the gospel (Acts 13:2; 16:10). The vocabulary implies that this summoning was connected to an official commissioning to the Lord’s service. Behind Jesus’ commissioning and training of...

A man and woman from Port Richey, Florida, were traveling in an SUV that was said to have been speeding up Interstate 75 near Forsyth. They were pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy there in the wee hours of Aug. 4. The couple’s Honda Pilot was allegedly doing 95 mph. When the deputy stopped it, he caught wind of an “overwhelming smell” of burned marijuana. The man in the car, who was a passenger, stepped out and the deputy found a small bag of weed and “a small bag of white crack-like substance” in his pocket. The deputy asked the...

As RedState reported previously, Democrat senatorial candidate John Fetterman pulled out of the first debate that was set to be held in Pittsburgh. The excuse provided was that Mehmet Oz, the Republican challenger in Pennsylvania, wasn’t taking the race seriously. You see, Fetterman running a campaign centering on memes, vegetable jokes, and repeating “New Jersey” over and over is a sign of his seriousness. But Oz calling Fetterman out for refusing to debate? Well, that was crossing the line. Did I mention this race has been absurd? Of course, everyone knows that Fetterman isn’t debating because he physically can’t debate....

EAGLE, Colorado — There is something going on here in Colorado politics that is not much different than what happened in Virginia exactly one year ago: a shift away from the status quo and the odds-on favorite Democrat toward his Republican challenger. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., is seeking a second full term against Republican challenger Joe O'Dea. And the question, in a state where people tend to dislike both parties but increasingly favor Democrats, is whether O'Dea is independent enough to earn their vote. Democrats viewed O'Dea as enough of a threat that they dropped $10 million into the Republican...

A California mom arranged for her estranged son to be abducted after he applied for emancipation, with the youngster then driven 27 hours to a boarding school. Shana Gaviola, 35, is said to have embarked on the scheme in August 2021 on learning the unnamed 17 year-old boy wanted to legally break away from her. Gaviola, of Fresno, has been charged with violating a protective over the incident by a federal court, and remains in custody. The boy, who had successfully applied for a restraining order against Gaviola, was approached by a 'transfer team' from the Agapé Boarding School for...

This made Clinton furious. “I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails…” Clinton screeched. “As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a “Clinton Standard.” The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified.” she claimed. I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails… Clinton attacked Trump, a man who actually had the power to declassify documents.

WAUSEON, OH – A high school football player has had his athletic career in said sport cut short after doctors found and removed approximately six feet of blood clots from the teenager’s legs. The cause of the blood clots are not yet known, but the teen now requires a regimen of blood thinners to ensure the issue doesn’t crop up again. Kaden Clymer is a junior at a high school located in Wauseon and was looking forward to the start of the football season at school. However, playing the sport is no longer in the cards after an anomaly was...

A Texas law blocking construction of a Chinese-owned wind farm close to an Air Force base could ripple across state lines to inspire new laws deterring China from burrowing into American infrastructure. The Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act—which became law in June 2021—prohibits companies and other entities from entering into agreements in Texas involving critical infrastructure if they are “owned or controlled” by governments or citizens of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. “These nations must be banned from connecting into our critical infrastructure due to their rampant human rights abuses, illegal intelligence gathering, intellectual property theft, critical infrastructure attacks,...

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton expressed support for Sanna Marin, tweeting a photo of herself dancing as the Finnish Prime Minister faces criticism over leaked footage that showed her partying with friends. "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels," Clinton quoted former Texas Gov. Ann Richards as saying, along with a photo of herself dancing in the Sunday tweet. The photo, Clinton said, was taken in Colombia during her visit as secretary of state for the sixth Summit of the Americas. "Keep dancing," she encouraged Marin.

The entire state of California is a cinder box right now. Just stepped outside to grab my mail and it was sweltering. Looks like it's 103 right now. Supposed to peak at 106 but I'm guessing 110. Hope you're all staying cool...

A senior Justice Department official referred to a highly regarded religious liberty organization as a “hate group” in a recent LinkedIn post. Eric P. Bruskin, assistant director of the commercial litigation branch in the Justice Department’s Civil Division, used the term to describe Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group founded in 1993. The Justice Department’s social media policy discourages employee comments that could be “perceived as showing prejudice” toward characteristics such as religion. Bruskin, previously a lawyer with the ACLU of Massachusetts appeared to follow the lead of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-wing group that regularly...

We all remember where we were twenty one years ago. The American people at that time really came together, and it's one of those times our country really felt united. Sadly I don't think the American people would all react that way again. Our government responded as poorly as one could predict: * They created a new bureaucracy, Homeland Security. * They started the heavy airline frisking of everyone from little kids to old ladies. * They invaded a country with a secular government that overall protected Christians and kept Islamists in check. * They got us into a 20...

Screen Shot 2022-09-06 at 12.22.37 PM (St. Mary’s Episcopal School) Video of Eliza Fletcher, the late beloved Memphis kindergarten teacher who was also the heiress to a billion-dollar hardware fortune, singing to her class during the COVID pandemic, has surfaced, showing how much was lost when her body was found on Tuesday. Fletcher, a mother of two young boys, was kidnapped early Friday while jogging. “Cleotha Abston, 38, an ex-con who served time for kidnapping, was arrested Saturday in connection with the abduction,” The Daily Wire reported. “Hey girls, it’s Ms. Fletcher,” the young teacher told the camera as she...

by Samantha Foster | 24NewsPamela Ricard was a math teacher at Fort Riley Middle School. She was reprimanded then suspended after challenging a school district policy requiring faculty to use a student’s preferred name and "prounoun" while addressing the student, and forcing them to hide the student’s social transition from their parents but use the student’s legal name when speaking to parents. Ricard refused, asserting that the school policy violated her conscience.Administrators at Fort Riley Middle School retaliated when Ricard asserted that a teacher should refer to students by their legal name and pronouns that corresponded with their biological sex.They...

As the title suggests, something's been bothering me about the photo of "classified documents" released by the DOJ in their response filing for the special master request by Trump's legal team. The cover sheets are all wrong. I've had access to Top Secret/SCI material for over 40 years, working with it on a daily basis. I have never seen cover sheets with a solid color border that say "SECRET/SCI" or "TOP SECRET/SCI." Those would be OK if they were just SECRET or TOP SECRET collateral information (not sensitive compartmented information - SCI). The cover sheets for SCI documents have striped...

Paris (AFP) – French sports and education groups expressed outrage Tuesday at the closure of around 30 swimming pools, after their operator said surging heating costs made them no longer viable. “These closures directly impact all children and adults who won't be able to learn to swim," the French Swimming Federation (FFN) said in a statement, demanding the pools' "immediate" reopening. Vert Marine, which operates pools and ice rinks across France, said Monday that its annual energy bill had jumped to 100 million euros ($99 million) from 15 million euros -- a figure it said equalled "the company's entire annual...
