Free Republic

No matter how much trouble you think Democrats are in, you are likely underestimating their peril. Ed wrote a great piece on the ABC/Washington Post poll earlier this weekend, https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/09/25/wapo-abc-poll-gop-holds-edge-on-generic-ballot-and-wide-leads-on-top-issues-n498887 and I thought I would expand on it with my own thoughts. Because I am arrogant like that. If you pay attention to head to head matchup polls the Democrats look like they might remain competitive in battleground districts. Republicans appear to be struggling in some key senate races, and Republican partisans are either secretly or openly nervous that the Republican wave predicted earlier this year will be reduced on...

The State Department on Thursday unequivocally warned that if Russia invades Ukraine the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will sit unused at the bottom of the ocean. The controversial pipeline has become the U.S. and NATO’s biggest bargaining chip in its attempts to preserve Kyiv’s sovereignty. But reporters questioned the diplomatic agency on whether Germany, which would profit from the functioning pipeline, is on the same page when it comes to countering a Russian incursion. "We continue to have strong, clear communication with our German allies," Under Secretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said. "If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or...

LONDON — Lines at neighboring borders and protests are just some of the scenes in Russia following President Vladimir Putin’s call for partial military mobilization. Last week, Putin ordered up to 300,000 Russians to serve in the invasion of Ukraine that began in February. Since then, thousands of citizens have fled the country to bordering nations, including Georgia and Mongolia. A satellite image of the Russia-Georgia border taken on Tuesday shows a multitude of cars and people waiting at the crossing. According to Russian state news outlet Tass, more than 5,000 cars had created the traffic jam, which was up...

President Biden delivered an address at the first White House conference on hunger since 1969 today. (The White House transcript has not yet been posted.) My impression is that childhood obesity is a bigger problem than childhood hunger and that however big the problem of childhood hunger is, a lack of government spending devoted to it is not the problem. Some redefinition of the problem as one of “food insecurity” is required to turn up the spigot. At the conference Biden thanked “bipartisan elected officials” including Rep. Jim McGovern and Senator Cory Booker before seeking to acknowledge Rep. Jackie Walorski,...

Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Auschwitz where he said it's time to "terminate" hatred. While the message is one surely people can get behind, some seemed to be more interested in how he signed the guestbook. Schwarzenegger, who received the inaugural Award for Fighting Hatred from the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation earlier this year, gave a speech alongside chairman Simon Bergson on Wednesday as a symbol of how generations can change. Both Schwarzenegger and Bergson were born in Austria, the latter born after the war as his parents survived the Auschwitz Nazi death camp. "I was the son of a man that...

Marjorie Taylor Greene's husband is filing for divorce from the controversial 48-year-old Georgia Republican congresswoman. Her husband, Perry Greene, filed for a formal split on Tuesday after nearly three decades of marriage - and just weeks before November's midterm elections. The pair were married in August 1995, whilst Greene was still a student at the University of Georgia. The couple had three children together, all of who are now adults. Although the divorce documents do not reveal explicitly what led to the couple's split, Perry Greene states that the pair had separated in the past. He also asks for the...

The #MeToo Backlash: How the World Went Back to Tearing Women Down (Cannot be posted)

Earth is “well-hidden” to extraterrestrial observers using photometric microlensing to hunt for habitable planets that might support life, an international team of researchers has concluded. The findings could also help to narrow down the best areas of the galaxy to target in our own searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). When looking for potentially inhabited planets beyond the solar system, astronomers have a variety of tools at their disposal. As it stands, by far the most successful of these has been the transit technique, which has made about 75% of all the exoplanet discoveries so far. This approach involves watching for...

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge hit his 61st home run of the season Wednesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, tying Roger Maris' American League record. It took Maris until Oct. 1, the final game of the 1961 season, to hit his 61st, which broke Babe Ruth's single-season mark of 60 home runs set in 1927. Judge did it Sept. 28, in Game No. 155 for New York. A day after the Yankees clinched the American League East title, Judge, batting leadoff as the designated hitter, took Toronto's Tim Mayza deep in the seventh inning with a runner on...

HONG KONG — After only two days, the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court adjourned the trial of Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen, 90, and four co-defendants, until Oct. 26. The trial began Sept. 26 and had been scheduled for five days, but the magistrate adjourned the trial when defense lawyers attempted to cross-examine police witnesses called by the prosecution. The outspoken cardinal, retired bishop of Hong Kong, was detained May 11 under the Beijing-imposed national security law. He and his co-defendants were then charged with failing to properly register their 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, which offered financial, legal and psychological help...

A group of pro-abortion activists harassed religious sisters and pro-lifers outside of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City on Monday evening while taking part in an “abortion carnival” counter-protest to the scheduled 40 Days for Life meeting. The protestors were instructed to wear bright colors and be ready to make noise in order to grab the most attention. They shouted profanities, and one pro-abortion participant even harassed two Catholic Sisters of Life who appeared to be exiting the Cathedral, telling them, “F*** you, Sisters of Life,” while another said, “F*** you, you nun b*tches.” The harasser then added, “Maybe...

Were they inciting violence when they criticized the FBI in the past or when they blamed the FBI for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election loss?We know the left’s ultimate goal is to censure the opposition. For weeks after the FBI raided Trump’s home, leftists (Democrats, RINOs, mainstream media) have been accusing of “inciting violence” those who are legitimately pointing out the FBI failures and shenanigans. The left is preemptively linking and blaming FBI critics with any crazy/stupid person who says/does something violent. They are purposefully conflating legitimate criticism with violence because they want to silence the voice of millions of Americans....

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Sep 21, 2022 / 13:45 pm After the pro-life pregnancy center he runs outside Buffalo was firebombed and vandalized on June 7, James Harden gave investigators video-surveillance footage of the attack, along with what he described as a “mountain of other evidence.” Now, frustrated that no arrests have been made in the case after more than three months, he wants the footage back. “It’s Day 106. There have been no arrests. There have been over 50 attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. And our patience is at an end,” Harden, president and CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services, told...
