Free Republic

With the impending legislative session, Republicans are debating whether to support a next speaker of the House who potentially gives Democrats the power to kill legislation. It’s been the tradition for Democrats and Republicans to grant the opposing party some committee chairmanships, and both candidates currently on the ballot appear to be willing to continue the practice. “If we limit committee chairmanships to members of the majority party, it means that citizens from the minority party are not being represented,” said Democratic House candidate Joe Herrera in an Oct. 25 email to The Kerrville Daily Times. “The goals of elected...

With a major downturn in revenue and profitability over the past six months, Intel has some tough decisions ahead as it seeks to make billions of dollars in cuts while the beleaguered semiconductor giant tries to enact its grand comeback plan. As announced last week, the American chipmaker plans to reduce spending by $3 billion annually starting next year and then ramping that up to $10 billion by 2025. While a good deal of these spending cuts will come from laying off a "meaningful number" of people, the company has also said that it will also look at "portfolio cuts."...

If any vestiges of our free republic are to remain, every last freak who perpetrated these crimes against society should be held accountable. Instead of amnesty, we need trials. In a recent article at the far-left Atlantic calling for a “COVID amnesty,” which many found stunning in its chutzpah, Brown University “mommy economist” Emily Oster asks that we give a pass to those involved in ruining the lives of countless people and probably killing many more for years to come. I know I’m not alone when I say my best counteroffer is, “Hell no,” and you can stick that “COVID...

The pro-abortion campaign to persuade voters to reject a state constitutional amendment is, as Daily Wire reports, headed by some pretty fringe figures. On the ballot in November, Amendment 2 would clarify that there is no right to an abortion in the Kentucky Constitution. The state already protects unborn babies by banning abortions, but the amendment would prevent future court rulings from striking down its pro-life laws. According to the Louisville Courier Journal, out-of-state abortion groups have donated millions of dollars to Project Kentucky Access, the campaign opposing the amendment. Campaign finance reports published Wednesday show the pro-abortion group has...

For four years, a cycle of victories by progressive-minded Democrats has pushed the New York State Legislature to the left, carrying their party to legislative supermajorities and creating an unfettered path for liberal priorities to be enacted around housing, climate change and abortion rights. But this year, a national Republican wave is threatening to curb those progressive gains and vanquish the Democrats’ veto-proof supermajority, as Republicans seek to expand their diminished foothold in the State Capitol. While the Assembly is solidly in Democratic control, Republicans seem well positioned to make inroads in the State Senate, where competitive races are playing...

Why haven’t the scientists who are admittedly creating lethal strains of Covid in labs been arrested and held accountable? Reducing the global population by billions is fundamental to achieving the WEF’s Great Reset agenda. WEF’s Young Global Leaders, like Sadhguru, have long openly advocated for depopulation and are galvanizing public support for reducing the world’s population. “All of the religious groups are against me because I’m talking about population. They want more souls, I want less on the planet,” Sadguru boasted during an interview at a WEF summit.

Honolulu police have opened a first-degree robbery investigation after three male suspects allegedly robbed a visitor in Waikiki. Police said the suspects approached the victim, 23, in the 400 block of Ena Road brandishing knives and a handgun and demanded money at about 2 p.m. Wednesday. The suspects fled on foot with money taken from the victim. No injuriies were reported.

... “With talk of layoffs right now, including at companies like Twitter, a reminder that the City and County of San Francisco is hiring,” Breed stated on the platform run by Musk since last week. “With over 4,500 vacancies, we are ready to help sign people up.” Breed also included a link to get people started on a job application. “We have a lot of talent in our community,” Breed stated. “This city has good jobs that can transition easily from the private sector, such as analysts, IT, and engineering. But we also have vacancies in transit operations, public safety,...

Something Has Snapped: Unexplained 2.3 Million Jobs Gap Emerges In Broken Payrolls Report A simplistic, superficial take of today’s jobs report would conclude that the red hot jump in nonfarm payrolls indicates a “strong hiring market” (just ignore the jump in the unemployment rate). Nothing could be further from the truth. Recall that back in August and September, we showed that a stark divergence had opened between the Household and Establishment surveys that comprise the monthly jobs report, and since March the former has been stagnant while the latter has been rising every single month. In addition to that, full-time...

Two World Renowned Cardiologists independently reach the same medical conclusions. American 🇺🇸 Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, and British 🇬🇧 Aseem Malhotra, MD state that their medical opinion is that the sudden deaths, especially in young people, are caused by the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, until proven otherwise.

Thousands of years ago, a child in Peru was sacrificed as part of an ancient ritual, their head severed at the neck and made into a type of trophy. A new analysis of a single hair plucked from the mummy’s skull reveals that the child consumed a psychoactive cactus prior to execution, as part of the ceremony. The child’s preserved head was one of 22 human remains associated with the ancient Nazca society examined in a new study; all of these individuals lived during the pre-Hispanic era (3500 B.C. to A.D. 476) and were buried near the southern coast of...

Having returned the issue of abortion “to the people and their elected representatives” in June with a watershed opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court paved the way for a flurry of state-level activity regulating abortion. Since the high court issued its Dobbs opinion, 13 states have fully outlawed abortion, and multiple legal challenges are pending against other states that seek to outlaw or restrict abortion to some degree. Overall, post-Dobbs restrictions on the procedure have led to an estimated 6% decrease in the number of abortions across the nation. That number represents more than 10,000...

A baffled group of chip industry experts, in a symposium discussion published November 4 by the ChinaTalk newsletter, tried and failed to explain Washington’s new export curbs on chip tech to China. A close reading of the Commerce Department’s specifications shows ignorance about the technologies involved and confusion – if not duplicity – about the ban’s implications for China’s military. The experts’ group concluded that the new policy was rushed into effect in panic mode, without weighing its civilian or military implications. The new export controls “will restrict the People’s Republic of China’s ability to both purchase and manufacture certain...

In a state governed by Democrats, a far-right candidate is about to win another term to US Congress - while her moderate Republican colleague is set to lose his bid for Senate. The races in Colorado are a capsule of the rifts shaping national politics. A few hours' drive out of Denver, the capital city in the centre of Colorado, an enormous sign can be seen from the side of the highway: white background, pink-and-black font, pasted on to an old, hulking trailer. "This Is Boebert Country," it reads. "Boebert" refers to Lauren Boebert. The 35-year-old Republican represents Colorado's third...

Video link here: MILLIONS OF FAKE BALLOTS CREATED AND ALIGNED WITH "UNDELIVERABLES" The Video is an hour, but is worth it. It exposes tactics and schemes that are marked by deception, designed to be hidden and remain hidden when inevitable audits take place. To spare those who complain about long videos disrupting their precious lifestyles and schedules in spite of the takedown of their country and their way of life, the following condenses the findings and encapsulates the information at-a-glance. FIRST: 1. If the Pandemic is over, why are there millions of mail-in ballots in circulation?Clearly, massive election theft requires...

As we approach the 2022 midterms, Democrats are once again pushing the gun-control button. Two trends that are reflected in recent state and federal gun legislation. One trend stems from the New York State Rifle and Pistol Ass’n Inc. v Bruen ruling in June, the other from the New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act passed in response to Bruen. Bruen’s Domino EffectIn Bruen, the U.S. Supreme Court found that New York State’s concealed carry law was unconstitutional because it required “proper cause” for an individual to obtain a concealed carry permit. As a result, a new precedent was set for...

Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter set hair ablaze from the start, and things have only escalated over the last week. The billionaire’s reshaping of the social media giant started with the top executives at the company, including chief censor Gadde Vijaya, getting kicked to the curb. On Friday, that expanded to seeing over half the company’s workforce laid off. ====== SNIP ====== Elon Musk @elonmusk · Follow Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks...

WNBA star Brittney Griner, who has been imprisoned in Russia for 260 days, has reportedly met with US embassy officials. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed on Thursday (3 November) that the basketball player had met with embassy officials as part of negotiations for her release. **SNIP** Since her imprisonment, a mass campaign by various humanities groups and fellow WNBA players has urged the US government to bring her home. Jean-Pierre said during the statement that the government had “made a significant offer to the Russians to resolve the current unacceptable and wrongful detentions of American citizens Brittney Griner...

Once you understand the con, it’s easy to apply a simple fix that doesn’t involve destroying the world as we know it. It’s time, once again, for another climate conference. This will be the 27th desperate effort to save the planet. It doesn’t have to be this way. The fearmongers are hard at work. They’ve put out no less than 8 reports in the run-up to the event. We must act now, experts squeal. The alternative is dire, as always. The coverage is relentless, especially in rags that take money from conservancies. A small twist this year is the number...

Early in-person voting is wrapping up today in Nevada with almost 470,000 votes tallied as of Thursday, and trends so far suggest that enthusiasm is lagging among Democratic voters in the Silver State. The Nevada Senate race, with Democratic incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and GOP challenger Adam Laxalt, is one of four toss-up races that will determine the balance of power in Congress. The Democrats lead by 1% in early in-person voting so far, or just 5,200 ballots. This could spell trouble for Democrats, according to analysis from The Nevada Independent. In Clark County, Nevada's most Democrat-heavy county, lagging...
