Free Republic

The Republican state party in the ballot-collecting blue states will need to adjust to this new environment and start ballot-collecting itself. Entering Election Day staring out of a pit is not a winning strategy. But that's not enough. They will never be able to out-Democrat the Democrats, who are unbound from ethical considerations. Republicans need to go scorched earth in trying to overturn this grotesque practice, which is more reminiscent of authoritarian regimes that want to maintain the appearance of democracy. This brings back memories of the hapless Dan Rather listening as Saddam Hussein told him he got 100% of...

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s personal aide, Alexey Arestovych, said Sunday that Ukraine’s recent support of a United Nations resolution against Israel was “a grave mistake.” In an online livestream, the close aide to the Ukrainian premier said “Ukraine’s foreign ministry’s position was illogical and unacceptable.” “We’re teaming up with Russia and Iran who are attacking us, and distancing ourselves from Israel — which we want as an ally,” Aristovich said.

All the country's top conservative governors were easily reelected in midterm elections that overall did not go as well as Republicans hoped. Governors Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Jared Polis of Colorado, Brad Little of Idaho, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Brian Kemp of Georgia, and Greg Abbott of Texas were all ranked in the top 10 of conservative governors in a Laffer-ALEC analysis last year and coasted to reelection on Tuesday. The Laffer-ALEC 2021 report, which was conducted by well-known conservatives such as ALEC's Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and The Heritage...

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- As tens of thousands of ballots continue to be processed in Santa Clara County on Saturday, Lou Witkin's ballot was missing. Witkin, who lives in San Jose, got a tip that his ballot was allegedly found, along with other ballots, in a pile of mail that was dumped by a ravine near Sugarloaf Road off Highway 17 in Santa Cruz County. He was also sent a photo showing his ballot among the mail.

The race for control of the US House is not over. It’s not over till the Democrats say it’s over. The world is watching in amazement as corrupt election officials and politicians across the country can’t seem to finalize the results of an election five days ago. Texas and Florida can complete their election results a few hours after the election, but other states are days away, if not weeks. The 2022 Election was supposed to be a route for the GOP. Biden and his gang of America-destroying communists are understandably not well-liked. They are even hated for their actions...

Is it true that McConnell tanked Senate races by not funding candidates like Masters? McConnell spent HUGE everywhere but AZ. Masters had Thiel so his outside spending was pretty good at $53M vs $57M for his opponent. But he got only 46% of the vote.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) on Sunday said Senate GOP leadership “caved” to Democrats on a number of legislative bills over the past year, citing that as one reason Republicans did not perform as well as projected in the midterm elections. Scott, the chair of the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that Republicans “caved in on the debt ceiling, caved in on a gun bill, caved in on a fake infrastructure bill.”

A recent report published by a trio of college professors details "effective responses" school leaders can use when questioned by parents who are concerned about critical race theory curricula. "The goal of effective messaging is essentially to step away from the fueling of fear because people can very easily go down a rabbit hole of engaging in debates that become echo chambers," Francesca López, one of the authors of the report, said, according to Education Week. She serves as the Waterbury Chair in Equity Pedagogy at The Pennsylvania State University. "Effective messaging moves beyond just engaging in a debate," she...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) said on Sunday that her focus is on Michigan for the next four years when asked about a possible presidential run in 2024. “I feel really lucky to be the governor of Michigan. I have lived here my whole life. And this is where my focus is for the next four years,” Whitmer responded when asked by CNN’s “State of the Union” host Dana Bash if she would be interested in launching a presidential campaign in 2024 or 2028. “I’m going to make Michigan an even stronger place, where people come to for opportunity,” Whitmer...

Another upside-down questionable election in 2022, after the disastrous fraud uncovered in the 2020 Presidential election, threatens the very survival of our Constitutional Republic. It doesn’t appear the average American realizes how very dire the situation is with the continuation of one-party control of our government, the “mob rule” of a “democracy’ (51% majority), an evil tyranny that our Founding Fathers warned against. Schools and colleges have become nothing more than Communist factories. Pacification of the masses is their tool of choice to harvest weak people. The attacks on Judeo-Christian values will continue. History is clear about what happens next...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said Republicans “nominated some bad candidates” in the midterm elections after the GOP underperformed on projections of a red wave. Christie said in a roundtable discussion on ABC News that Democrats “got more fired up than people thought and that polls demonstrated.”

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son." "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight." Mark, Chapter 13 1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith...

Ukraine invested into FTX as the Biden administration funneled funds to the invaded nation, and FTX then made massive donations to Democrats in the US.

For the first time ever, Republican voters now back Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll. The poll, which was conducted by YouGov America from November 9th to the 11th, following last week’s midterm elections, and published on Saturday, found that Republicans were generally disappointed with the outcome of the elections. ... When asked who they favor as the party’s nominee for the 2024 elections, 42% of Republicans and Republican-leaners said they prefer DeSantis, compared to 35% who prefer Trump. Ten percent said they favor neither candidate, while 13% said they were not...

Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are hosting back-to-back conferences about disinformation in the days following Donald Trump's 'big announcement.' Bush, 76, will host his The Struggle for Freedom conference in Dallas on November 16, while Obama's democracy conference will be held in New York City on the 17th. Trump's big announcement - largely rumored to be his 2024 presidential campaign announcement - is set for Tuesday. Organizers said the conferences were not planned together, but will focus on the rising threats from authoritarianism and disinformation. David J. Kramer, of the Bush Institute, said it was 'terrific' the...

Explanation: A flying saucer from outer space crash-landed in the Utah desert after being tracked by radar and chased by helicopters. The year was 2004, and no space aliens were involved. The saucer, pictured here, was the Genesis sample return capsule, part of a human-made robot Genesis spaceship launched in 2001 by NASA itself to study the Sun. The unexpectedly hard landing at over 300 kilometers per hour occurred because the parachutes did not open as planned. The Genesis mission had been orbiting the Sun collecting solar wind particles that are usually deflected away by Earth's magnetic field. Despite the...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump running for the White House in 2024 would be “bad news for the country.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “In the face of all this news, we see that Donald Trump is planning to announce for president again on Tuesday, is that good news for Democrats?” Pelosi said, “I think it’s bad news for the country, let’s put it that way. Because this is a person who has undermined the integrity of our elections, has not honored his oath of office, who has encouraged people,...

MIDLAND, Texas — One current and two former Midland Christian School employees were arrested and indicted Thursday for failure to make a required child abuse report, according to court records. Dana Ellis, Jared Lee and Matthew Counts all posted a $5,000 bond the same day they were arrested. The accusations stem from an incident that is reported to have happened in November 2021, according to indictment paperwork. The three were previously arrested for failure to report with intent to conceal neglect or abuse back in February 2022, along with two other employees, for separate accusations. That assault reportedly involved a...

Like the disastrous Bernie Madoff debacle where investors lost millions of dollars, Sam Bankman-Fried has apparently cost investors like Steph Curry, Shaq and Tom Brady considerable sums as well. What do Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried have in common? Greedy investors who apparently didn’t bother to monitor what was going on. Yes, had they monitored FTX, Bankman-Fried’s company, they would have noticed that FTX held less than $1bn in liquid assets against $9bn in liabilities. Generally, with buyer beware, the onus falls on investors to monitor what is going on. But The Fed’s completely dropped the ball on Bernie Madoff...
