Free Republic

Michael J. Fox rose to fame in NBC’s sitcom Family Ties in which he played young Republican Alex P. Keaton. Now he has weighed in on where he thinks the conservative character would be today, politically speaking. In an interview with Variety, the actor said he doesn’t think Alex P. Keaton would be a Republican any more, saying the character would have abandoned the GOP long before Donald Trump became president and before the January 6 riot.

"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ." "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit,...

A few weeks ago, we talked about Jazz Jennings being exploited by TLC. Well, he made a response video to Ben Shapiro and me asking why we care so much. Here's my response.

NEW YORK -- One day after embattled Rep. George Santos pleaded not guilty to federal fraud and money laundering charges, a deal Santos struck with Brazilian authorities to avoid prosecution in a fraud case there was expected to be finalized. Santos was back in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, followed by a throng of reporters, a day after he pleaded not guilty to federal fraud, money laundering and making false statements in connection with his 2022 Congressional campaign. "I'm going to fight the witch hunt. I'm going to take care of clearing my name," Santos said Wednesday. But now the embattled...

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy has made it clear, in the form of a new committee that he’s coincidentally chairing, that the state party should have the right to officially endorse their preferred candidates in primaries in a deliberate attempt to stymie grassroots candidates – and prevent them from winning in primary elections. But there’s another motive as well – and it’s not political, but rather financial – and it benefits a select few within Tracy’s inner circle – including his close ally and top legal advisor John Fogarty, who serves as the general counsel to the Illinois Republican...

‘What is a woman?’ is the most important political question of our times Politicians used to be formidable characters. A citizen would really need toknow his stuff if he wanted to pin down any of the big dogs of politics. Not anymore. Now it takes a measly four words to reduce a politician to a mumbling wreck. Try it next time one of them crosses your path. Say these four words: ‘What is a woman?’ The latest politician to be stumped by this simplest of queries was Naomi Long, leader of Northern Ireland’s Alliance Party. She got into a Twitterspat...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said "We need to wait" before his forces launch their counteroffensive, suggesting that such an operation now would result in heavy losses. He said that in terms of motivation, personnel numbers and mentality, "we're ready," but that "in terms of equipment, not everything has arrived yet." "We are still expecting some things," he said in an interview in Kyiv for Eurovision News that was broadcast by the BBC. "They will reinforce our counteroffensive and most importantly they will protect our people. We are expecting armored vehicles, they arrive in batches." Combat brigades, some of which...

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 89, cares 'more about her dog' than black people, a former African-American staffer charged, while she also confused two black senators, a new book offered. The Washington Post's Ben Terris' forthcoming tome "The Big Break: The Gamblers, Party Animals, and True Believers Trying to Win in Washington While America Loses Its Mind" profiles one ex-Feinstein staffer who played whistleblower by literally blowing smoke. Terris, in an excerpt published Thursday in Politico, wrote about how in the days following being fired by Feinstein's office - after raising concerns about her treatment of black people and her mental faculties...

The interim report of the House Intelligence Committee and Weaponization Subcommittee released Wednesday established extensive coordination between the Biden campaign and those behind the statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that painted the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. More explosive, however, is the fact, first reported on Tuesday by The Federalist, that a Central Intelligence Agency employee solicited a former CIA officer to sign the statement. Yet there is still much more to unravel to expose the breadth and depth of the info op painting the infamous laptop as Russian disinformation and the government actors involved. Here are...

When it comes to celebratory beers, Coors Banquets rank right there at the top. I’m not sure if it’s the unique, old school shape of the glass bottles or what, but you just feel like a king every time you crack one open and take that first sip. On top of that, it’s no secret that the beer saw a rise in popularity when it became the beer of choice for the Dutton family on Yellowstone as well. But speaking of Yellowstone and Coors Banquets, the beer chose one of the show’s biggest stars to narrate their latest ad in...

An angry American Airlines passenger was caught shoving two travelers out of the way in a bizarre clip - before accusing one of assault for tapping him on the shoulder. Wearing a metallic gold Michael Kors jacket and sunglasses, the passenger who goes by the name Vosièy Fvogèswièr, caused havoc on the flight from Charlotte to Fort Lauderdale as he attempted to squeeze past in the aisle and disembark before other people. In the rush, he encountered three women - two of whom were standing in the way - who attempted to stop him rushing ahead. But a raucous scenes...

Overruling Chevron won't gut the administrative state or even severely constrain it. But it could help strengthen the rule of law. Supreme Court decided to hear Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimando, a case that raises the prospect that the Court might overrule Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which requires federal judges to defer to administrative agencies' interpretations of federal laws, so long as Congress has not addressed the issue in question, and the agency's view is "reasonable." Some legal commentators are, depending on their ideology, excited or appalled by the prospect that Chevron might be overruled. Advocates of reversal...

The same corporate media outlet that spent years asserting that Trump tried to leverage foreign aid for political favors despite a lack of evidence declared President Joe Biden not guilty of using his decades-long involvement in some of the highest levels of the U.S. government to enrich his family. “House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden,” one factually inaccurate New York Times headline blared following a House Oversight Committee press conference on Wednesday.

With multiple camera shots and slick editing, Trevor Jacob documented the dramatic moments when his small plane crashed into a Santa Barbara County hillside as he parachuted to safety. The 2021 video titled, “I Crashed My Airplane,” quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. The only problem: it was all staged. On Wednesday, Jacob, 29, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstructing a federal investigation after admitting to intentionally crashing the plane to get views on his YouTube channel, the United States Department of Justice announced. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

When the same government agents who conducted warrantless searches of Americans' cell phones in order to nab every patriotic granny waving a flag near the Capitol on January 6 claim they have no way of tracking illegal aliens in the United State, they're lying. When the same national security surveillance State that censors Americans' online speech claims not to know how many illegal aliens are here, it is lying. When the same IRS that regularly targets conservatives for their political beliefs claims it can't track tens of millions of migrants working here illegally — or worse, stealing Americans' social security...

FIFTH WEEK OF EASTER John 15 9:11Friends, two words surface frequently in today’s Gospel: joy and commandments. Now, I submit to you that these are not terms that we would readily juxtapose. We usually associate commandments with the carrying out of duty and responsibility, or laying down the law and establishing order and discipline. But all of this seems opposed to joy.We find joy in God alone, for our souls have been wired for God. We must acquire God if we are to be joyful. But here’s the trick—and the whole of the Christian life is on display here: God...

Anyone can become ill from mpox, but the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that more than 99% of mpox cases in the United States in the 2022 outbreak have been among men who have sex with men. However, mpox is not generally considered a sexually transmitted disease.

Make of this what you will. Personally I find it difficult to believe that we are the only living entities in the vastness of Space. The pic below is a screenshot of the last few seconds of the video posted on Reddit.
