Free Republic

@HannahDCox Biden has been one of the top power players persecuting Julian Assange for simply being a journalist and reporting the truth for years. He doesn't care about freedom of the press. He doesn't care about free speech. He's a complete and total fraud. RE: @RandPaul On World Press Freedom Day @POTUS put out a statement saying we must speak out against those trying to silence press. And now this… RE: @RobertBluey Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the @WhiteHouse dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted “hard pass”—the...

SALT LAKE CITY — The news is out about Utah's decision to allow some immigrant professionals to become licensed in the state — and the demand for such licenses is high. The Department of Commerce, which oversees a lion's share of the state's licensing, has received over 2,600 responses since May from foreign-licensed professionals who are interested in becoming licensed in Utah. The Utah Legislature approved SB35 earlier this year, which allows for such licensing among several state agencies. It was preceded by SB43, which made the same allowances for licenses and certifications from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing....

A treasure hunter has accused the FBI of a 'major coverup' after it allegedly made off with $500million worth of buried Civil War gold. Dennis Parada believes he located a burial site around halfway up a mountain in western Pennsylvania laden with Civil War treasure, before the FBI dug up the goods under the cover of darkness. The detectorist claims he alerted authorities to the possible haul after ground-testing suggested the Dents Run site was filled with gold. The FBI then commissioned its own tests that suggested vast amounts of the metal could be below the surface. The agency claims...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was interrupted and heckled for five straight minutes during his speech in his home state at the St. Jerome Fancy Farm Picnic on Saturday, a premier political event in Kentucky. Instead of a respectful silence, the audience delivered a relentless, clear, and loud message for a full five minutes, drowning out his speech. Foot-stomping and chants echoed around the venue, making it abundantly clear that the senator’s reception was far from warm in his home state. He is done. The dissenting voices underscore the sentiment that McConnell, at 81 years old and with nearly four...

During a conversation with a family member giving to making those Pointed Remarks about various "injustices," the topic of illegal immigration was touched upon briefly. It occurred to me that I could invite this person to see Sound of Freedom and then point out the amount of child sex and labor slavery occurring with illegal immigration. Thanks so much!

There Was More Truth In The Vietnam War Than The Ukraine War As I See It "At least Walter Cronkite was able to tell us how many died by government estimate each week during the Vietnam War..." Liberal Democrats Want To Fuel The War In Ukraine-New CNN Poll... Russia is so bad what a country prosecuting and persecuting political opponents heck they don't that here in the USA...

Nigers coup leaders said they closed die country's airspace shortly before the expiration of a deadline fron¡\the West African bloc ECOWAS for them to hand back power or face possible military intervention.

The anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki present an opportunity to demolish a cornerstone myth of American history — that those twin acts of mass civilian slaughter were necessary to bring about Japan’s surrender, and spare a half-million US soldiers who’d have otherwise died in a military conquest of the empire’s home islands.Those who attack this mythology are often reflexively dismissed as unpatriotic, ill-informed or both. However, the most compelling witnesses against the conventional wisdom were patriots with a unique grasp on the state of affairs in August 1945 — America’s senior military leaders of World War...

Goaltender Gilles Gilbert, who was in net for the Bruins for the infamous Guy Lafleur goal in Game 7 of the 1979 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Canadiens, passed away Sunday, according to reports. He was 74. Gilbert played for the Minnesota North Stars, Bruins, and Red Wings during a 14-season career from 1969-1983. Starting in 1973, he spent seven years with the Bruins, going 155-73-39 in 277 regular-season games, while teaming up with Gerry Cheevers from 1976-80. He was 17-14 for the Bruins in the playoffs, winning 10 times in the run to the 1974 Stanley Cup Final. He...

Citing an increased risk of default, Fitch Ratings downgraded US government debt. Richard Francis, a senior director at Fitch, said "the rising quantity of borrowed money combined with a collapse of revenues raises the odds that lenders will not be paid back in full for the funds they have lent to the US government. It is our obligation to apprise future potential lenders of this fact." US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called the downgrade "flawed and entirely unwarranted. It's not as if we are unable to secure the funds that will be needed to pay off these loans. There is...

A transgender woman is currently battling in a Michigan courtroom to recover her surgically removed testicles, which she reportedly claims are being kept by her former partner in the refrigerator of his home.Brianna Kingsley, 40, filed a handwritten legal claim and affidavit in a Pontiac court on Thursday, alleging that her ex, 37-year-old William Wojciechowski, is refusing to return the testicles, which were surgically removed as part of Kingsley's gender transition surgery, the Detroit News reported Friday.Kingsley demanded the return of her "human remains" and $6,500 in damages, which is the maximum allowed in Pontiac's 50th District Court small claims...

A relatively common health problem—constipation—has been shown to be a risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular events such as stroke in people over 60. The extensive study of over half a million hospital admissions in Victoria suggests that interventions to address constipation may reduce these risks in elderly patients. The study, led by Professors Grant Drummond and Chris Sobey, looked at 541,172 hospitalized patients over 60 years of age. For each constipation admission, one exact age-matched non-constipated admission was randomly selected from all hospitalizations within two weeks to form the control arm of the study. The researchers found that patients...

The Justice Department’s latest indictment against former President Donald Trump made some waves on the Sunday morning circuit. At center stage was former Vice President Mike Pence, who has been struggling to build something resembling an adequate presidential primary campaign.The prosecution seems to believe that having Pence testify in the upcoming legal proceedings against the Orange Man What Is Bad™ might deliver exactly what they need to put him behind bars. On the flip side, Trump’s defense team seems confident that the former vice president’s possible testimony will work in their client’s favor. Which side is right? The answer might...

New testimony linking President Joe Biden to a “pay to play” bribery scheme raises the question of how history will assess his tenure in office. Admittedly, it is risky to compare the performance of modern presidents against their predecessors. Because it is hard to place current events in historical context, snap judgments can prove embarrassing later.For example, during the presidency of George W. Bush (served 2001-2009), some commentators ranked him as the worst American chief executive in history. In hindsight, however, that assessment seems absurd, even to liberal academics. The 2021 C-SPAN Presidential Historians Survey ranked him 29th of 44.More...

The media, Biden, and other Democrats keep bragging how great Bidenomics is and how good the job market is. That would especially make it good for kids who went to college because they make more than people who didn't. Yet we get these sob stories, that essentially are campaigning for other people to pay off student loan debt, whining that after three years of letting people skip paying their loans, they are all of a sudden are going to have to pay. What a concept! Paying off your own debt. Somehow, only half are going to be required to pay...
