Thirty years ago, a dangerously reckless FBI went to war against the Branch Davidians. We’ve recently learned a great deal about the FBI’s election interference by hiding the truth about Hunter’s laptop, as well as its illegal persecution of Donald Trump. Sadly, this isn’t the first time the FBI’s gotten recklessly out of control. On February 28, 1993, more than 70 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (“BATF”) agents, with help from three military helicopters, launched an attack on the Branch Davidians, an offshoot sect of Seventh-Day Adventism, operating under David Koresh’s leadership. The attack took place at the Davidians’...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 20 The Parable of the Tenants 9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him...

China is ramping up its propaganda machine against Taiwan’s annual live-fire Hang Kuang Exercise scheduled for late this month, a bold show of force against Beijing’s stated “reunification” plans for the self-governing island. This month, Reuters quoted several Taiwanese officials claiming that at least a dozen news reports from Chinese state media had framed Taiwan’s Han Kuang Exercise as an “escape rehearsal” for Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen and US citizens on the island in the event of a Chinese invasion. Reuters notes that such media reports first surfaced in May, with the information campaign believed to be organized by China’s...

At some point in this column, I have probably had occasion to quote these famous lines from Walter Scott’s poem “Marmion”: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive.” I note that Pope’s amusing title for his opuscule is “A Word of Encouragement.” Many of us feel a great contradiction at the heart of the Biden phenomenon. On the one hand, he—“Big Guy” Joe—and his entire Snopes-like family—coke-head Hunter, “Dr.” Jill, the litter of grasping, on-the-make siblings—all seem like ciphers, the veritable incarnation of Gertrude Stein’s description of Oakland, CA: “there’s no there there.” Indeed,...

This week, Judge Terry A. Doughty detailed the government’s manipulation of social media and enjoined government agencies, officers, and employees from continuing these practices. It’s hardly news that the government has long managed news reporting through a combination of leaks, favored treatment, and threats. With the growth of social media and the COVID-19 “pandemic,” the Biden administration blatantly used every tool in its arsenal to censor constitutionally protected free speech. Posters on the pre-Musk Twitter and Facebook, to take the most obvious examples, were regularly shadow banned and even silenced altogether from posting alternate views to those of the government....

The fix is in for 2024. Democrats will use the same gameplan they used in 2020. Nominate an unpopular candidate, campaign from the basement, hold few rallies with 20-30 people, mail out millions of ballots, insert drop boxes, use voting machines, late night ballot deliveries after the deadline, keep adding votes to the totals for days after the election, block GOP workers from the counting rooms, and several states use systems that store data in China… and Democrats can pull off tricks like this…switching ballots.

Galei Tzahal - Israel Army Radio reported this morning (Sunday) that an unusual incident happened last week in the Manara area on the Lebanese border when dozens of armed men, most of them soldiers from the Lebanese army, along with a number of Hezbollah terrorists crossed the border into Israeli territory. According to the report, the incident happened last Wednesday, while the IDF was carrying out work in the Ramim Ridge area. The Lebanese soldiers who crossed the border were armed and in uniform. The IDF preferred to act cautiously, avoided using means to disperse demonstrations, and tried to resolve...

The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19. So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at...

Jeremy Hunt denied bank account by Monzo Chancellor is among multiple politicians to have accounts denied and cards cancelled because of 'disproportionate' money laundering rules

Portland will soon begin handing out aluminum foil and straws to fentanyl smokers in the latest attempt at 'harm reduction' in the drug-ridden Oregon city. Officials with the Multnomah County Health Department confirmed the controversial plan to local outlets saying they will also hand out glass pipes and snorting kits. Health director Jessica Guernsey said they have seen a 'shift from injection drug use' and the new handouts will help to engage those who 'may not otherwise.' 'The new part of the program is that we're adding supplies for people who smoke drugs,' Guernsey said, citing that fentanyl is typically...

I'm grateful I don't have to live in the delusion of the past about some "Conservative Movement" that was on my side. I don't believe in "Artificial Conservatism" anymore I'm free. Back in the 70's religious broadcasting had preachers reading often from the George Will, James Kilpatrick and Bill Buckley columns. The "Conservative Movement" commentators in other words. On some of the religious and even secular radio stations there were 15-minute "Lifeline" commentaries funded by H.L. Hunt a Texas oilman. I was getting a message funded by the fossil fuel industry that told me it was "Conservative". Back in those...

Do you believe in Richard Dawkins? If your answer was yes, why? Most of us have assumed Dawkins’ existence based on very little evidence. I for one have never met him. And though I’ve seen a couple of pieces of video footage, a few pictures and his name as author on a number of books, when you think about it, it’s not that substantial. I’ve seen video clips and pictures of ‘Santa Claus’, too. And authors use pseudonyms all the time, so there’s no telling who really wrote The God Delusion or The Greatest Show on Earth. By now you’re...

...the Great Reset — or the readjustment of the global economy on behalf of the most powerful companies and institutions — is about “maintaining and empowering a corporate extraction machine and the private ownership of life.”the project is a project of extermination,” Shiva said, who believes the project is powered by hubris and greed.

Authorities in Texas believe a man who shot and killed two people was acting in self-defense after two men allegedly attempted to rob him while he was taking money out of an ATM. In a press conference, the San Antonio Police Department's Chief William McManus said that on Friday, July 7 at approximately 1 p.m., a man in his 20s went to a Chase Bank about 15 minutes from downtown San Antonio, Texas. Police said that the unidentified man drove up to a drive-by ATM to withdraw money and saw two people drive towards him who attempted to rob him....

A few questions for Emmanuel Maricon...

This is not DU! Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL! Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc. We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked. Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be...

Bud Light lost its spot amongst America’s top ten favorite beer brands — just a month after Modelo replaced it as the “King of Beers” due to the public’s backlash against the brand’s partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. A survey conducted by YouGov for the second quarter of 2023 shows Bud Light dropping from ninth spot in 2022 to tying for 14th with Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller Genuine Draft, and Miller Light., Newsweek reported. In both years’ surveys, the proportion of people who like beer stays the same at 42 percent. However, the popularity of other beers increases. Guinness,...
