Free Republic

Republicans hate their base voters. If the broader Republican electorate knew the internecine nature of how the Republican politicians in DC operate, they would never vote for another Republican ever.It’s all a system of conniving and positioning for a cushy committee assignment, indulgences from the lobbyist control apparatus, office locations and Machiavellian influence for the best junkets and largest leadership PAC deposits. That’s the truth, the non-pretending truth about the system at work behind the GOPe blind vote. It has nothing to do with principle centered leadership, and everything to do with self-indulgences and person affluence.Steve Scalise is worse than...

Oh, I was going to share this last night…. but had to savor it and laugh all morning.The insufferable Steve Cortes, the guy who put up such a noisy and indignant fuss when he joined the Ron DeSantis team, has just left (or been booted from) his position as spokesperson for the DeSantis Never Back Down superPAC. Oh, the just desserts are too rich to savor at one sitting.This guy burned every bridge and is now left to wander the political landscape as a nomad muttering to himself.

Coronavirus patients treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine – furiously denounced by the media and medical establishment after then-President Donald Trump revealed he was taking it – and azithromycin enjoyed better survival rates, a study has revealed.The study, published in the scientific journal New Microbes and New Infections, evaluated “the efficacy and safety of a treatment protocol with [a] standard dose of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection” by comparing the 28-day mortality rate of 352 patients treated with the drugs to a contemporary control group of 3,533 patients who received standard care.Researchers found a “statistically significant...

Franklin Graham: 'If you think what is happening in Israel is limited to Israel, think again'... ... Christian evangelist Franklin Graham is warning Jews and Christians around the globe to be aware of Hamas' real plans, to "Kill every Jew and every Christian" on Earth. The warning comes just days after Hamas terrorists attacked innocent civilians in Israel, in villages and at a music festival, killing an estimated 900, including babies who were decapitated by the violent radicals. On social media, Franklin cited a video of Hamas' Mahmoud al-Zahar, and wrote, "We just saw Hamas brutally murder 900+ Israelis, most...

This article is a summary of weapons seen at a Palistinian rally. (Note: Article is from 2018.) An overview of the small arms weaponry the Israelis would face during an invasion of Gaza.

I’m so old, I can remember when it would have been shocking to suggest that Playboy Magazine has more moral sense than Harvard University. Nowadays, maybe that doesn’t come as a surprise. In any event, it’s true. When former porn performer Mia Khalifa tweeted her support for Hamas’s mass murderers and suggested that the killers should film their deeds horizontally so she could see them better, Playboy promptly cashiered her:That is a vastly clearer and stronger statement than anything that has come out of Cambridge. On the bright side, though, student groups at Harvard that rushed to support Hamas’s attack...

Jackson Frank, the new Sixers beat writer for PhillyVoice, is out of the job after tweeting in “solidarity” with Palestine in response to the team’s statement about Israel. “Mr. Frank is no longer employed by PhillyVoice.com as of today,” PhillyVoice.com CEO Hal Donnelly told The Post in a statement. “We stand with everyone who is absolutely outraged by the senseless attacks in Israel, by the loss of innocent lives and violence against civilians.” Reached by The Post, Frank declined to comment. “We stand with the people of Israel and join them in mourning the hundreds of innocent lives lost to...

An activist who calls himself “Pro-Life Spider-Man” was arrested this week after a death-defying climb up the Accenture Tower in Chicago, which houses the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest. Stunned onlookers first noticed the climber, whose real name is Maison Des Champs, around 10 a.m. local time Tuesday. He scaled the nearly 600-foot building without a rope or any safety equipment and was swiftly arrested after reaching the top, police said.

The image appeared to refer to the Hamas paragliders that invaded Israeli territory on Saturday before carrying out a killing spree A Black Lives Matter chapter from Chicago said it “stands with Palestine” and posted an online graphic of a paratrooper in the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel. The organisation, which is affiliated to a group of similar BLM chapters in the United States, drew criticism for the image on a day of widespread condemnation of Hamas and its terrorist acts in Israel. Black Lives Matter Chicago is one of the “#BLM10”, a group of anti-racist organisations that...

US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul told reporters on Wednesday that Egypt had warned Israel three days before Hamas's assault on southern Israel that "an event like this could happen," according to US media. "There seems to have been a failure of intelligence. We're not quite sure how we missed it. We're not quite sure how Israel missed it," said McCaul after a classified briefing about the war. "We know that Egypt had warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen. We know this event was planned perhaps as long as a year...

Black Lives Matter came under heavy fire after its Chicago chapter released an online image celebrating Hamas' slaughter of more than a thousand Israeli citizens, including babies. In a message posted on X, formerly Twitter, BLM proudly wrote, "I stand with Palestine," underneath a picture of someone paragliding with a Palestinian flag sticking up from its inflatable wing. The image was accompanied by the caption, "That is all that is it!" The despicable illustration is reminiscent of last Saturday's sneak attack by Hamas terrorists, some of whom paraglided into Israel in order to massacre 260 people at the Supernova Festival....

SACRAMENTO – By July of next year, it will be illegal for public schools in California to suspend students for low-level behavior issues after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation banning "willful defiance" suspensions among TK through 12th grade students throughout the state.

The Chicago chapter of the Black Lives Matter organization has apologized for social media posts on Tuesday that incited outrage for appearing to publicly support Hamas militants. In the since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, the account shared a graphic of a paraglider and a Palestinian flag with the phrase: “I stand with Palestine.” The picture appeared to refer to Hamas militants who paraglided into a music festival in Israel to kill more than 260 people. Above the graphic, the post said, “That is all that is it!” The group also shared a series of illustrated graphics on Facebook of...

War is always bad, but it is sometimes necessary. Watching the grueling videos of Hamas’ savagery reminds me of the Rape of Nanking. Japanese soldiers happily raped and murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians during WWII. Children were used for bayonet practice. People were burned alive. Young women — some only 12 years old — were abducted and used as “comfort women” or sex slaves by marauding Japanese soldiers. Sound familiar? Our military men faced a unique situation when fighting Japan. The Imperial Japanese soldiers were known savages and worse, more than happy to die for their cause. Sound familiar?...

In the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel, the Instagram account of Nattiv — the first Israeli director to ever win an Oscar and the director of 2023's 'Golda,' a film about the 1973 Yom Kippur War — has become a principal source of information about the missing and the dead.“God, it’s **** crazy,” Guy Nattiv said with exasperation when we connected by phone this week, in the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel that has resulted in the deaths and hostage-taking of hundreds of Israelis. “This is a holocaust.” Nattiv, the first Israeli filmmaker to ever win...

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has urged the West, particularly the United States which has deployed its largest aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean, not to add fuel to the flames in the Middle East as clashes between Israel and Hamas intensify. “Humanity has failed in this test. We regret those who add fuel to the flames [to the war between Israel and Hamas],” Erdoğan said in his weekly address to the parliamentary group of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) on Oct. 11. “We call on America, Europe, and the states in other regions to take a fair and...

In a video message posted to his YouTube channel Tuesday, Hamas leader and founding member Khalid Mashal called for anger from Muslim people around the world, calling specifically for a "Friday of Al-Aqsa flood" that will send a message to the world, and specifically to the West. Mashal's video amassed several million views before it was made private on Wednesday. The video, which was posted in Arabic, was summarized for English speakers on X by Brother Rachid. He stated that the Hamas leader, in addition to the call for global anger, also requested financial help from fellow Muslims, which he...

Heartbreaking accounts are emerging of the scores of children who were taken captive by Hamas when the terrorist group unleashed its unprecedented assault over the weekend — and the innocent kids thought to be in the attackers’ hands are as young as 9 months old.

KUALA LUMPUR -- The U.S. and other nations backing Israel "should anticipate" militant attacks on their soil and assets abroad as the Jewish state launches deadly airstrikes on Gaza in response to a large-scale, surprise assault at the weekend, experts warn. On Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden expressed support for Israel as he denounced Hamas for the "sheer evil" of an attack that has reportedly killed 1,200 people in Israel with dozens more taken hostage by the militants -- designated a terror group by the U.S. and some other Western nations. Israel's retaliatory airstrikes on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip have...
