Free Republic

I keep saying the 2024 GOP nomination is going to be fun because this is an epic Wall Street -vs- Main Street battle that needs to be done. The conniving republican political class are openly wearing their anti-working-class uniforms now. Despite their efforts to remain hidden, and thanks entirely to their hubris, they are glowing. The primary contest in 2024 is going to be epic, because this time the MAGA scruffnecks will, for the first time in years, clearly see who the enemy within the republican ranks really are. This makes them so much easier to defeat, and also explains...

More than three weeks after losing a reelection bid, President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday blamed a software bug and demanded the electoral authority annul votes cast on most of Brazil’s nation’s electronic voting machines, though independent experts say the bug doesn’t affect the reliability of results. Such an action would leave Bolsonaro with 51% of the remaining valid votes — and a reelection victory, Marcelo de Bessa, the lawyer who filed the 33-page request on behalf of the president and his Liberal Party, told reporters.

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski has taken the lead over Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka in the ranked-choice Senate contest that won't be resolved until at least next week.

A film entitled Died Suddenly premiered Monday on Twitter and, spoiler alert, it wasn’t a rom-com. But that doesn’t mean that the film didn’t have a whole lot of fiction, even though a website bearing the movie trailer claimed that the film will “present the truth about the greatest ongoing mass genocide in human history.” This website also asserted that “the global elite have broadcast their intentions to depopulate the world.” And take a wild guess as to what this film claimed that these elite have been using to do their genociding and depopulating the world thing. Nickelback music? Low...

Five months after filing a lawsuit against the Goleta Water District in Santa Barbara, attorneys have secured a six-figure award in favor of five plaintiffs resulting from the utility’s restrictive COVID-19 employee vaccine mandate. “This was fairly early on that they offered this judgment that the plaintiffs were the prevailing parties, which means they did not want to litigate this case clearly and go to discovery,” said Mariah Gondeiro, an Advocates for Faith & Freedom lawyer. “I believe that we can use it in other cases as a precedent.” Advocates for Faith & Freedom, a nonprofit law firm, filed their...

The Biden administration has been attempting to end the policy, which expelled millions of migrants at the border. Fifteen Republican states on Monday night asked a federal judge to keep a Covid-era policy in place that allowed authorities to severely restrict asylum-seekers from crossing the border into the country after the judge issued a ruling last week that blocked the rule.

And around Rosh Hashana time, the PTB who run the satanic polices states of America (SPSA, for short) decided that they’d had enough of R Michoel Green writing religious exemptions for Jews who didn’t want to get shot up with GO nanotech and heart-attack inducing DNA origami. So, they started going after him and his family, and accusing R Green and his wife of ‘neglect’. And around Rosh Hashana time, the PTB who run the satanic polices states of America (SPSA, for short) decided that they’d had enough of R Michoel Green writing religious exemptions for Jews who didn’t want...

“Pope Francis” is Our Reward for Tolerating the Errors of Vatican IIAs we end the liturgical year, and begin another Advent with Francis still occupying the papacy, we cannot escape the reality that the Church’s crisis has grown significantly worse over the past year. All but the most obstinate self-deceivers recognize that Rome has not only lost the Faith but has also become the loudest voice against the true Faith. It appears that we now hear Satan’s unfiltered voice through these false shepherds. We naturally look back to Benedict XVI’s abdication with more dismay as the Francis crisis deepens —...

The body of an 18-year-old Israeli from the Druze town of Daliyat el-Karmel, southeast of Haifa, is being held by armed Palestinian Arabs in the city of Jenin, it was cleared for publication on Tuesday night. The young Israeli man was seriously injured in a car accident in the area and was evacuated by the Red Crescent to a hospital in the city, where he was pronounced dead. When it became known that he was an Israeli citizen, terrorists from the "Jenin Brigade" kidnapped his body and are now holding it. Efforts are currently underway to secure the release of...

Covid and flu spread more quickly in winter so, if you’re pregnant, the best thing you can do to stay safe is to boost your immunity with free vaccinationsCovid and flu jabs reduce the risk of serious complications from both diseases – and you can get them at any stage of your pregnancy. If you haven’t had a booster dose in over six months, you’re up to three times more likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the outgoing chief medical adviser to the White House, said he would “cooperate fully” with any congressional hearings as Republicans vowed to investigate him if they took control of the House or Senate. “If there are oversight hearings, I absolutely will cooperate fully and testify before the Congress,” Fauci said during his last White House press briefing on Tuesday before stepping down as chief medical adviser to the White House later this year.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, hoping to become the next Speaker of the House, called for the resignation of President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, declaring him a threat to the nation’s sovereignty. If Mayorkas resists, McCarthy threatened House Republicans will consider impeachment proceedings against him. McCarthy made the announcement during a press conference along the United States-Mexico border, where he noted that under Mayorkas’s leadership, the U.S. has seen “the greatest wave of illegal immigration in recorded history, with an estimated 5.5 million border encounters since Biden took office in February 2021.

"And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him." "For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. "But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another." Luke, Chapter 5 1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And saw...

Rabbi Green Harassed By DCF – Political & Religious Persecution Targets The Esteemed Rabbi Green During The High Holidays At a time of introspection, joy, and family gatherings, “these insolent and Godless tyrants threaten to seize my dear children and rip them away from their joyous home,” laments Green. He was informed that seven of his children could be removed by DCF (aka CPS Child Protective Services) based on bogus, inconsequential accusations made through mandatory reporting.

Unveiling of an early 17th-century painting has caused a stir—but what does the evidence say?The unveiling and proposed £10m sale of an early 17th century portrait, reputedly of William Shakespeare, has caused a stir. The attribution is being debated, but what does the evidence show? The inner frame of the 20 x 18 inch portrait includes the title Shakespeare, but this is an 18th- or19th-century addition, when the painting was relined. The figure portrayed is a bearded, balding man in shirt and doublet, with the top left and right of the canvas helpfully inscribed 1608 and AE (aged) 44...

Belle et Belle gallery has now been dissolved, closing the chapter on a decade-long criminal investigationA major French criminal court case reached a verdict last week after a judge pronounced the "dissolution" of the Parisian gallery Belle et Belle, which offered dozens of drawings and prints stolen by a handyman from the daughters of Jacqueline Picasso and the gallerist Aimé Maeght. In a ruling on 18 November, the owners of Belle et Belle, the 80-year-old Anne Pfeffer and her husband Herbert, were found guilty of having purchased and concealed stolen art. They have been given suspended jail sentences of...

Most people's view of politics is shaped by the stifling limits of the two-party system. Politics is seen as something politicians do, which has little to do with "us." The two parties, the Democrats and Republicans, appear, to quote Frederick Engels, as "two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt means and for the most corrupt ends--and the nation is powerless against these two great cartels of politicians, who are ostensibly its servants, but in reality exploit and plunder it." It should be no surprise, then, that...

Meta's Pixel tracking tool is causing more headaches, this time for people filing their taxes online. The Markup has discovered that large tax prep services like H&R Block, TaxAct and TaxSlayer have been sending users' sensitive contact and financial information to Facebook through the Pixel. This sometimes included income data, filing statuses and even kids' college tuition grants. Intuit's TurboTax also uses the Pixel to send data, although that's limited to usernames and the last sign-in dates for given devices.
