Free Republic

In The 5000 Year Leap, Cleon Skousen writes that most Americans in the early years of our Republic truly regarded the Constitution as a miracle, declaring that the formation and adoption of our new system of federal government represented a political achievement unprecedented in human history. It was a miracle because grounded on unchanging Reality, meaning the eternally existing personal Creator of life, Law, Truth, the living souls of humans, and all else that exists (Gen. 1-11):“…[T]he foundation of all reality is the existence of the eternal Creator, who is the designer of all things in nature and the promulgator...

The Grievance Studies Affair has never been more relevant. Back in 2017 and 2018, when we did it, it was obvious that the part of academia sometimes called the “theoretical humanities” had been given over essentially wholly to what we dubbed Grievance Studies—that is, Woke Identity Marxism. We also saw worrying trends in psychology, sociology, anthropology, and all of the social sciences, but at the time it was considered extremely controversial and even unfair to suggest the “soft sciences” were infected with Woke Marxism. Today, that’s completely out the window. Everything is touched by the putrefying finger of Woke corruption....

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain is withholding his union's endorsement of the reelection of President Biden "until we get our fair share. If he can afford to pour billions of dollars into subsidizing the corporations for the electric vehicle transition he can afford to subsidize us too." Fain expressed concern that "phasing out gasoline-powered vehicles could cost our members their jobs. The commitment to unprofitable electric vehicles needs to have protections for the workers who assemble them. We're waiting to see what the President is willing to offer us for our support." Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said...

The police in Amsterdam arrested 154 soccer fans for singing antisemitic chants on the train while on the way to a match on Saturday, the authorities said, the latest in a series of bigoted public displays in the country.

Those arrested were supporters of AZ Alkmaar, a team from a town about a 40-minute drive northwest of Amsterdam, the capital. They were going...

Scott Baio says he's set to become the latest celebrity to escape from California as he's placed his $3.85million home on the market, citing the state's disastrous homelessness and crime issues. The former Happy Days star put his home in Woodland Hills on the market last month, having purchased it for just $1.85million in 2010.

'After 45 years, I'm making my way to finally 'exit stage right' from California,' he wrote. He then...

Russia has billions of rupees sitting in Indian banks but acknowledged there's a problem as it looks for ways to convert that currency. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted the widening trade deficit with India, which has been a top buyer of Russian oil since Moscow launched its war on Ukraine last year.

"For this, rupees should be converted into other currencies. This is being discussed." The comments...

It will take courage to win and there will be casualties in the current culture wars. There is only so much destruction of our culture we will take before we fight back. ............. On this day, 8th May, in 1492, a courageous teenage French peasant girl, Joan of Arc, who had been seriously wounded the day before, lead the armies which broke English Siege at Orleans. It took guts and determination. She was soon to die in the cruel hands of the English invaders. For me. Joan of Arc’s passion for her country and the inspiration she gave can ultimately...

A Christian school has taken its case to the highest human rights court in Europe after German officials refused to grant accreditation because of its innovative hybrid approach, which merges in-person and at-home learning, even though the school fulfills all state-required standards and curricula. The Association for Decentralized Learning filed the case at the European Court of Human Rights last week, according to the rights group ADF International, which is supporting the school provider and maintains that the German state’s restrictive educational system is infringing upon parental rights and educational freedom. “The right to education includes the right to embrace...

After decades meting out sanctions and financial coercion, the US may soon feel its grip on world trade beginning to loosen...Change is good, but dollars are better, a US author of romance novels once wrote. A similarly light-hearted sentiment often inspires discussions about the future role of the US dollar as the world’s leading currency. The consensus view is that the dollar is safe. I think the consensus is wrong.The dollar is the foundation of US global leadership, and the future of the dollar is therefore intricately linked to the debate about geopolitical fragmentation. Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da...

War grips the world and the most powerful nations on earth go to battle once more.

A single mom has recounted how she horrifyingly stumbled across a horde of snakes living in the foundation of her new home. Amber Hall made the shocking discovery last month, days after moving into the four-bedroom, two-bath behemoth in Colorado with her two kids. The home is set on a scenic, tree-lined street in Centennial, centrally located among some of of Denver's most affluent suburbs, to the city's south. Hall, 42, says spent her entire adult life working to afford the dream domicile - and was over the moon when she and her children moved in back in April. However,...

Now that New York City has named its very first rat czar, residents of the big apple with stories to tell about close encounters with the beasts are coming forward. Kathleen Corradi, New York City’s new director of rodent mitigation, has her work cut out for her. It appears that New York City rats are a special breed, performing super-rodent feats of strength and agility. One public health analyst was living on 112th Street in Manhattan, where she swears she witnessed a rat “flip itself over while stuck to a glue trap, pry itself off, and run away.” In a...

The Biden White House is again boasting about ongoing efforts in digital IDs and biotechnology. This came the same day the White House announced executive action on artificial intelligence (AI). The Biden administration has proven so eminently trustworthy and successful that it should have even more control of technology! Biden administration censorship collusion with social media worked out so beautifully, too!Digital identity (ID) is very dangerous because it is inevitably a prelude to a type of social credit score. Much of the world had a limited form of this under COVID-19 vaccine mandates, where proof of vaccination—often in the form...
