Free Republic

Ohio Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno went on Roger Stone’s Stone Zone show and complained about Republicans who voted for Joe Biden. Moreno doesn’t want these more moderate Republicans who reject Trump in the Republican Party: Moreno: “I think we’re better off trying to recruit disaffected Democrats into the movement and broaden our base that way because for somebody who says, ‘I’m going to vote for Biden over Trump’ and that says they’re a Republican, I don’t think we can help that person.” Stone: “Alright, there you have it. Now you see why I’m for Bernie Moreno.”

Christ, Divine Judge & Just Destroyer: True vs. False Mercy Introduction by M. Matt: Left on its own, Tradition will reconquer the entire Catholic world. I am pleased to present the following sermon as Exhibit A. This sermon was presented by a diocesan priest whom I had never met but recently encountered while on the road. The reality is that, no matter where I travel, I encounter priests and congregations of faithful who are keeping the "old faith" regardless of what is happening in Rome. What follows is a sermon on the doctrine of mercy that may be the best...

Some of Florida Gov. Ron. DeSantis’s (R-FL) top donors to his gubernatorial campaign are keeping their “powder dry” in the 2024 presidential race or donating to other candidates as the governor falls further behind former President Donald Trump, according to a report.Politico on Wednesday reported that only 16 of 50 big donors to DeSantis’s 2022 reelection campaign have opened their wallets for the governor’s super PAC Never Back Down, which is supporting his 2024 run, and only eight others have given directly to his presidential campaign.Five of the 50 donors are supporting rival presidential candidates and those who are giving...

A pro-Trump candidate won a three-way Republican primary in a special election Tuesday to fill a soon-to-be vacant congressional seat in Utah. Celeste Maloy, a proponent of former President Donald Trump, defeated former state Rep. Becky Edwards, winning 38 percent of the vote in the race for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District. Edwards won 35 percent of the vote, while businessman Bruce Hough had 26 percent. The trio were vying to be the GOP candidate in the race to succeed Rep. Chris Stewart, who is resigning later this month to care for his ailing wife. All three candidates campaigned on the...

Before addressing the inescapable conclusion that Ron DeSantis is not ready for prime time as a presidential contender, and that he should suspend his campaign and endorse President Trump, let's say something positive.For conservatives, there are things to like about Florida's young 44-year-old governor.Let’s start with “what if?”What if President Trump had not endorsed DeSantis in 2018, and what if commie-Democrat Andrew Gillum had been elected governor?Remember Gillum? The guy later found by police in a drunken stupor in a Miami Beach hotel room, alongside a gay male escort, who by all accounts had overdosed on drugs, in a room...

By now, everybody has heard Donald Trump say: "They're not after me; they're after you. I'm just standing in their way." It is a rallying cry for his supporters and "conspiracy" fuel for his critics. But as is the case in many instances, Trump is right. In fact, "they" have already begun coming after us — which is why the Trump political movement has officially transcended politics. America's fiercest enemy is now those within its own government using Trump's persecutions as a vehicle to covertly violate individual freedoms. The damage they are causing is undeniable, and the Trump movement represents...

There were 24% more homicides during the first half of 2023 than the first half of 2019. Across the nation crimes against persons and property occur almost daily, among them gang smash and grab attacks on retailers, car vandalism in urban and suburban areas, and shoplifting. Retail chains, like Walmart and Target, have closed outlets in certain areas when victimized by incessant thievery, causing them to lose money and be exposed to huge liability risks. Rates of recidivism in the U.S. are the highest in the world. Some 76% of felons are re-arrested within five years of their release from...

The Qing Dynasty in China, after over 250 years, crumbled in 1912. Led by the Complexity Science Hub (CSH), an international research team has pinpointed key reasons behind the collapse, revealing parallels to modern instability and offering vital lessons for the future. China is considered today to be the world's largest economy (in terms of PPP). However, this position is not new. In 1820, China's economy already held the top spot, accounting for 32.9% of the global GDP. In the interim, there was a period of decline followed by a resurgence. In 1912, after over 250 years in power, the...

MOSCOW, September 7. /TASS/. Russia plans to develop its relations with North Korea regardless of what other countries might think, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "We have our own relations with Pyongyang. We value these relations as North Korea is our neighbor, and we will of course continue to develop relations with them regardless of the opinion of other countries," he said. Peskov was commenting on a recent allegation by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan about the DPRK's plans to supply arms to Russia. Peskov again declined to say whether DPRK leader Kim Jong Un is expected to...

VIDEO A caller to the Steve Kane Show, Patti, made an ASTONISHING observation on September 6, 2023. She noted that Larry Sinclair was arrested by Joe Biden's son, Beau Biden, who was the Attorney General of Delaware at the time right after his D.C. press conference exposing Barack Obama. This was in June 2008 and a couple of months later, Barack Obama chose Joe Biden to run with him as his Vice President. Therefore all the current Biden corruption, bribery, and scandal including selling out the USA to other countries can be traced back to Larry Sinclair and his arrest...

“Civilization is an occasional and temporary interruption of the jungle.” —Will Durant.“Civilization” or “being civilized” are not terms that are wholly easy to define. Vagaries and degrees can exist; it would be hard to argue that any human being is totally “uncivilized” or that any human being (or culture) has a monopoly on the term. We tend to think of “civilized” societies as those who possess at least a modicum of decent behavior and progress. Perhaps “civilization” can best be defined—though possibly not with total accuracy—as a distinction between man and the animal kingdom, or in the word Durant used,...

We’re regret to inform you that Bill Gates is at again, pushing his “fuzzy science.” Gates is now advocating for the removal of 70 million acres of trees to combat “global warming.” Yes, this sounds harebrained, but could there be more to Gates’ agenda than just chopping down trees in the name of lowering carbon dioxide? Many critics who view Gates as a constant schemer with a vision for a New World Order suspect he has an even bigger plan in the works. More on that below. First, the background from Slay News: Gates’s organization, Breakthrough Energy, has plowed $6.6...

A grand jury in Georgia has charged five dozen Antifa goons with 18 crimes, including arson, racketeering, and domestic terrorism, in connection with their attack early this year on the building site for a new police training center.

As the late crooner Jimmy Buffet sang, the US economy is wasting away in Bidenomicsville, looking for our lost economy for the middle class and low wage worker. As Bidenomics fails to do anything other than make big donors wealthier (green energy companies, big tech and union bosses, etc), we are seeing the impacts of Fed monetary tightening to combat inflation caused by Biden/Pelosi/Schumer’s spending spree. First, the 10-year REAL Treasury yield is close to breaching 2%. Second, 30-year mortgage rates are now 7.62%, up over 150% under Bidenomics. Third, mortgage purchase applications crashed to the lowest level since 1995....

Vice President Harris said that a meeting between North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin would be a mistake, saying it would further isolate both countries. North Korea is considering supplying Moscow with artillery rounds and rockets in return for critical technology and food. The deal could be made later this month when Kim is planning to go to Moscow.

In Tulkarem the other day, an innocent Palestinian was killed, whether by the Palestinian Authority’s security force or by an as-yet unidentified terror group is still not known. It happened this way.In order to make it more difficult and dangerous for the IDF to enter the Tulkarem camp, Palestinian terrorists sowed the roads with IEDs, including those leading to, and just outside, a school. They also erected barriers to slow down Israeli military vehicles. Both the IEDs and the road barriers were a danger to civilians, especially to schoolchildren who had to use those same IED-lined roads to get to...

It represents yet another battlefield humiliation for Putin who has seen some of his top commanders killed and his most advanced military hardware fail during his stuttering invasion. SWEDISH! laser-guided air-defence system gunned down the helicopter near Robotyne New footage has emerged of the moment Ukrainian troops blasted a Russian helicopter out of the sky while shouting 'Got him!' A laser-guided Swedish-supplied RBS-70 portable air-defence system gunned down the Ka-52 Alligator helicopter from a field near the village of Robotyne, which Ukraine claims to have liberated as its counter-offensive continues. In footage of the attack on the helicopter, a fighter...

In Scandinavia, this has been the summer of Koran burnings – scores of them. Opponents of Islam, and of the steady Islamization of Western Europe, have chosen this means of protest – which is usually carried out in public squares, or in front of mosques or important government buildings, in some of the region’s larger cities – to register their hostility to the totalitarian ideology spelled out in Islam’s holiest book. Some of these Koran burners are ethnic Scandinaivans who have felt their countries and cultures slipping gradually away from them for years; others are freedom-loving immigrants from the Muslim...

In a controversial move, Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged former President Donald Trump last month under Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. It appears Willis, the proud daughter of a top Black Panther, may have unwittingly opened Pandora's box as it pertains to the acceptability of lawfare in the state — to the detriment of her fellow leftists. Georgia's Republican attorney general made clear Tuesday that the gloves are now off, indicting 61 radicals under the same statute. Now with the shoe on the other foot, leftists are decrying the RICO charges, calling them "anti-democratic," reported...
