Free Republic

PHILADELPHIA, PA — In a beautiful display of solidarity between oppressed people groups, Black Lives Matter has spray painted the words "Justice For Palestine" on the front of a Nike store they just looted. "We demand freedom for the Palestinians!" shouted one looter as he kicked his way through the broken glass of the store's entrance. "As a sign to show how passionate we are about a free Palestine, we are here to destroy this local business and steal all the Air Jordans! WOOOOOO!" BLM has made controversial statements and social media posts in support of the efforts of the...

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers challenged Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to a debate Tuesday on the topic of vaccine safety, with Rodgers saying presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former top infectious disease official Anthony Fauci should also be involved, after the two football stars spent the past week exchanging jabs over their positions on Covid vaccines. While appearing on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said the debate would bring “big ratings” and could mirror the film John Wick: Chapter 4, in which both opponents have a second person on their side, with Rodgers...

Donald Trump obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in loans using financial statements that a court has since deemed fraudulent, a retired bank official testified Wednesday at the former president’s New York civil fraud trial. Trump’s “statements of financial condition” were key to his approval for a $125 million loan in 2011 for his golf resort in Doral, Florida, and a $107 million loan in 2012 for his Chicago hotel and condo skyscraper, former Deutsche Bank risk management officer Nicholas Haigh testified. But although the bank didn’t conduct its own full appraisals of Trump’s properties, it sometimes gave sizable “haircuts”...

Eric Cortellessa, a politics reporter for Time, said supporters of Jordan have been sharing Federal Election Commission [FEC] documents around Washington D.C. showing that Scalise has spent more than $500,000 through his congressional campaign account at Capital Grille since 2011. "They are saying it reveals Scalise to be a creature of the 'Washington swamp' and establishment—another sign that Republicans are...

'We should be doing these Republican debates in New Hampshire and in Iowa.' Gov. Ron DeSantis has participated in two Republican presidential debates so far, with a third scheduled, but he doesn’t think any of these events have been in the right place. “We should be doing these Republican debates in New Hampshire and in Iowa, since we’re going to be there anyway,” DeSantis said in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was Thursday to qualify for that state’s Primary ballot. The Governor offered specific criticisms of the debate last month in California. “I mean, I love the Ronald Reagan …...

President Joe Biden’s graphic description of horrors in Israel was intended to “underscore the utter depravity” of the Hamas attack on civilians, the White House says, even if he hadn’t personally viewed or confirmed the imagery he described. Speaking from the Indian Treaty Room, Biden on Wednesday told a gathering of Jewish leaders: “I’ve been doing this a long time. I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.” Later on that evening, an administration official told CNN neither Biden nor the administration had seen pictures or confirmed reports of children or infants...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Thursday called on the full Senate to vote on a resolution to expel Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) from the chamber in the wake of new charges asserting the New Jersey senator has acted as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt. “Senator Menendez should not be a U.S. Senator.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is back in the news as the media hype a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. Asked earlier last month by CNN’s Michael Smerconish if people should begin wearing masks again, he said, "I hope they would abide by the recommendation and take into account the risks to themselves and to their families. We are not talking about forcing anybody to do anything." Fauci, of course, backed a national mask mandate in 2020. Advertisement But that’s the least of the COVID contradictions from Fauci and others. Put aside the obfuscations of the origin of the virus (smearing proponents of...

The European Union (EU) spent $100 million of taxpayer funds on building over 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians in Gaza, despite Hamas having bragged about their ability to turn the piping materials into makeshift rockets online. The EU participated in a number of initiatives between 2015 and 2022 to ensure Palestinians have fresh water, including working alongside UNICEF to install an 11-mile pipeline to Khan Yunus and Raha in southern Gaza.

If you want to know where antisemitism in leftism comes from, Karl Marx wrote an essay in 1843 called On the Jewish Question, and published it the following year I'll post some quotes so you can get an idea of what he says: Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist... The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew.

An Israeli official on Thursday slammed former President Trump's remarks on Israeli intelligence and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "shameful." Shlomo Karhi, member of the Knesset in the Likud party and serving as Israel's minister of communications, reportedly told Israel’s Channel 13 that it is "shameful that a man like that, a former U.S. president, abets propaganda and disseminates things that wound the spirit of Israel’s fighters and its citizens." "We don’t have to bother with him and the nonsense he spouts," Karhi added. When asked if Trump’s remarks make it clear that he cannot be relied on, Karhi reportedly...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) took aim at Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) for her criticism of Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), calling it a “disgusting attack.” Mace on Wednesday said she couldn’t vote for Scalise as the next House Speaker because he “attended a white supremacist conference and compared himself to David Duke.” Greene, like Mace, said she was supporting House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to replace former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) after he was ousted last week from the role. However, she claimed the South Carolina Republican’s comments about Scalise — who won the nomination for the top...

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis railed against former President Trump for calling the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah “very smart” and criticizing Israel. “Terrorists have murdered at least 1,200 Israelis and 22 Americans and are holding more hostage, so it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel, much less praise Hezbollah terrorists as ‘very smart,'” DeSantis wrote Wednesday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
