Free Republic

This article was written about 13 years ago! Look how accurate Mark’s insight was!! Very sobering! It has been common place over the years for many to compare the eventual fall of America witth the fall of Rome. All civilizations rise and fall, and there are, of course, many parallels between them when they do fall. Some even use the fall of Athenian democracy as another parallel. Plato complained in the Republic that democracy inherently leads to amateurism, anarchy, mob rule and eventually despotism. However, the fact of the matter is, that while the fall of any empire and country...

The Arellano Felix Cartel willingly decided to bend over for Mexican and American lawmen this morning with the release of numerous narco messages prohibiting the sale of fentanyl. Their sudden about-face is consistent with what the Cartel de Sinaloa have also done in recent weeks in order to draw law enforcement pressure away. Needless to say their communiques went through the usual hypocritical motions of prohibiting the very poison that they didn’t have a problem selling to anyone before. Due to the strong epidemic suffered by our country and our neighboring country. And while being faithful to our principles. We...

Joe Biden’s arrival at the Oval Office has facilitated the most disastrous and rapidly catastrophic presidency in the country’s history, resulting in global unrest, record-high inflation, and the destruction of the southern border.America has never...

The HORRIFIC ills of our nation are already in supersonic motion moving as a 10,000 ft. tsunami towards our national shore and how can one man or even a remnant of U.S. conservatives stop such a HORRIFIC tsunami?? It takes great blind faith of any individual to believe that any man or any political party can stop and overturn our nation's EXPONENTIAL crisis and reverse our nation's super sonic death spiral. We are at the end and either you will receive these evil tidings or in great delusion receive the lie that its not to late to save America. “One...

The disgusting hypocrisy behind elite schools defending the campus celebrations of Hamas’ terror attack. “Our university embraces a commitment to free expression,” declared Harvard president Claudine Gay, in support of the disgusting pro-Hamas protests on the university’s campus. “That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous. We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views, but that is a far cry from endorsing them.” All of which is disingenuous claptrap. Ironically, it’s been Harvard’s singular LACK of commitment to free expression that I find objectionable and outrageous. Because, just five weeks ago,...

The 2024 GOP presidential campaign for former President Trump raised $24.5 million in the third quarter of this year, roughly double what any of his primary rivals reported over the same period.

Ron DeSantis, by nearly 45.5 points, according to the RealClearPolitics.com polls average. Trump also has more than three times as much available cash than DeSantis, who has essentially been Trump's closest challenger so far in the polls. Trump has $37.5 million, compared to $12.3...

LinkedIn is laying off more than 660 workers across its engineering, product, talent and finance teams, the employment-focused social media site announced Monday. “Talent changes are a difficult, but necessary and regular part of managing our business,” the company said in a news release. This marks LinkedIn’s second round of major layoffs this year, after it announced its plans to cut more than 700 jobs in May amid efforts to make “changes to our Global Business Organization (GBO) and our China strategy.” In a Monday email to employees, which was obtained by Insider, LinkedIn executives said the latest round of...

@JakeSherman 🚨BREAKING -- A massive, massive endorsement for Jordan. Mike Rogers, the HASC chair who was VERY VERY skeptical of Jordan, is now planning to support him on the floor. @RepMikeRogersAL .@Jim_Jordan and I have had two cordial, thoughtful, and productive conversations over the past two days. We agreed on the need for Congress to pass a strong NDAA, appropriations to fund our government's vital functions, and other important legislation like the Farm Bill.

Scientists in South America have made a remarkable discovery just in time for the spooky season. They have identified a new species of wasp that possesses a rather macabre method of hunting and feeding. These vampiric vespids inject their larvae beneath the skin of their prey, causing a slow and agonizing demise from the inside out.

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s already struggling 2024 presidential campaign has racked up debts upwards of $620,000, according to a campaign finance filing released over the weekend.Pence’s campaign managed to raise just $3.3 million in the last quarter, a figure far below competitors in the GOP nominee race, considering the former Vice President himself contributed $150,000. Pence’s former running mate, Donald Trump, on the other hand, raised a whopping $45.5 million in the same quarter.The filing also noted that it has just $1.2 million in cash to support the campaign, yet $200,000 cannot be deployed due to it having been...

Our military is the wall between us and the “Death to America” terrorist states and sabre-rattling countries such as Iran, China, North Korea and Russia. But what if our military won’t fight because it’s gone woke and its generals are more concerned with pronouns, micro-aggressions, and misgendering? What about breaking things and killing people? What about defending our shores, our infrastructure, our power grids, cyber grids and our people with some good old fashioned macro-aggressions? How do you defend a nation when your lapel pins are rainbow flags instead of American flags? The Left have been softening up our country...

We are Livin’ la vida Biden as Biden continues to push illegal immigration and working with Communist dictators like Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro and NOT expand US energy production. The Biden administration released a statement Thursday warning financial institutions against using a person’s immigration status in credit applications. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a joint statement telling financial institutions that while it is not illegal to consider a person’s immigration status in the decision on whether to lend money, an overreliance on it could run afoul of the law, according to the statement....

Here’s a neat trick if you happen to run out of Halloween treats. M&M’s wants to make sure that everyone has an ample supply of candy this year by launching their first-ever Halloween Rescue Squad, which promises to restock your sweets free of charge. Mars, the parent company for the colorful chocolate morsels, recently commissioned a survey showing that about half of American households are concerned they might run out of candy for Halloween — and 89% fessed up to consuming too many of the confections themselves before it came time to give away to costumed kiddos. “The Halloween season...

It says exactly how to torture them, Israel's President Isaac Herzog said Hamas terrorists are carrying "instruction guides" on how to torture and kidnap civilians, as he explained the kind of "extremely cruel and inhumane enemy" his country is fighting against. "I saw the skull of a woman, in which house I visited, the house totally destroyed, totally destroyed, and they just cut her head off," Herzog said. "I saw a pool of blood in that house where the picture of the children is hanging, and the grandchildren are hanging on the wall with the knives and the hatchets which...

A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on Former President Donald Trump to limit what he can talk about regarding special counsel Jack Smith's probe of his alleged efforts to alter the 2020 election results. D.C.-based Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, said in court, "This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses. This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice," CNN reported. "His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs," she also said, as Trump runs for...
