Free Republic

This took place on Thursday, but it’s looking increasingly real. In a move that the Daily Mail described as “humiliating” for Joe Biden, lawmakers cast a bipartisan vote to freeze the six billion dollars that the President had previously freed up for Iran as part of his hostage negotiation deal. The move drew the support of nearly every Republican but also attracted nearly 100 Democrats. Now it’s looking as if it might pass in the Senate as well. During a time when it’s been seeming as if common sense had been banned in Washington, we have lawmakers seemingly conceding that...

This is one of those infuriating stories that remind us of how libertine persuasions in Western Europe have led to permissive criminal justice systems that have steadily been infecting the United States in recent decades. There’s really no comfort to be taken by pointing out that it happened in Germany because it shouldn’t be happening anywhere. Three years ago, a 15-year-old girl was attending a party in Hamburg, Germany when she was dragged outside into the bushes and gang raped by eleven men. All eleven were identified and later detained. Two of the men were somehow acquitted, but the other...

Alrighty, then – it’s settled. The only thing to be determined is when exactly the…well. It wasn’t actually a crime, was it?Let’s just call it an “abduction,” and it might have been a benevolent one at that.The once lumbering, inarticulate, knuckle-dragging goon-ball stroke victim masquerading as the Junior Senator from Pennsylvania – John Fetterman – has been taken by aliens.Courtesy Mr. BingleyThere can be no other explanation for this abrupt and amazing Slingblade to statesman reversal, and I have never once experienced it with another politician who wasn’t already known for blatant pandering.For crying out loud, his X picture even...

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) turned all order on its head on Monday in his "solution" to the problem at the border. Durbin agreed that something has to be done about the southern border, but his response about what that "something" might be was insane and incredibly dangerous for the safety of the nation. Right now, we are letting all kinds of people in without having any true vetting of them at the border. Now Durbin is suggesting that we let these folks who broke our law by entering illegally into the military. Holy sh*t. Senator Dick Durbin wants to turn...

I have stayed away from this subject for eight years; however, everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth.... Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump. As alarming as this...

In another interesting twist, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer made an announcement that could even further damage the already-weakened narrative put forth by the left regarding the J6 riot. Since House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) decided to release all of the footage taken on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol building, the riot has become a topic of conversation once again. Former U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson, who was present at the Capitol on that day, has been challenging the government narrative on the incident and has indicated that the authorities on the ground were ill-prepared for what...

The UK government has introduced measures it promised would deliver the biggest ever cut in net migration after levels soared to a record high. Home Secretary James Cleverly announced a five-point plan to curb immigration, which he said was "far too high". The changes included hiking the minimum salary needed for skilled overseas workers from £26,200 to £38,700. ($50,000) Mr Cleverly claimed 300,000 people who were eligible to come to the UK last year would not be able to in future. The minimum income for family visas has also risen to £38,700. ($50,000) In a statement to MPs, the home...

A juvenile boy is dead, and two others were taken into custody by Lakewood police on Dec. 2 after fleeing from police in a stolen Kia Sportage. At around 10:05 p.m. on Saturday, Lakewood Police Department (LPD) officers were alerted to a stolen Kia Sportage located on Steilacoom Blvd SW near Lakewood Dr. LPD officers said they followed the vehicle without lights or sirens at normal speeds while waiting for additional officers to assist. The stolen Kia proceeded to approach a locked gate at Lochburn Middle School when an officer turned their lights and sirens on to stop the stolen...

No matter how many times this video is shown, there are still people who believe Israel delayed its release because it was staging the whole thing … it's just IDF propaganda. The Israeli Embassy screened for journalists the 45-minute compilation of video taken from social media of the slaughter of more than a thousand Israelis on October 7. Israeli actress Gal Gadot tried to arrange a screening at a Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles, but of course, Hamas sympathizers tried to disrupt the screening. The video was even screened for members of the House of Representatives: The screening just wrapped...

The Supreme Court seemed concerned Monday that blowing up Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy settlement — a plan the Biden administration challenged based on the immunity it granted the company’s owners from facing future lawsuits — could mean victims of the opioid crisis never see a cent in compensation. The settlement requires the Sackler family to provide up to $6 billion to address the opioid crisis in exchange for immunity from future lawsuits. While skeptical of the arrangement, multiple justices voiced concerns during oral arguments Monday in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma that changing it would put victims, who overwhelmingly support the settlement...

From Big Macs to nuggets, McDonald’s has already given us so much – but now, they’re on the verge of opening a new spin-off restaurant. Earlier this year, Maccies bosses announced CosMc’s, described as a ‘small-format concept with all the DNA of McDonald’s, but its own unique personality.’ The first location is well on the way to opening in Bolingbrook, Illinois and after a passer-by managed to take pictures of their menu screens being tested, we finally have some insight into what CosMc’s might serve. While it’s unclear if the menus were simply dummy place holders, or the real deal,...

This is from back in late July, '23 but it still hits very hard. IMO, should be aired every week. : >>Mr Johnson from Louisiana: I'm so grateful for that segue from Mr Golden because we're about to talk about hard evidence here it's really ironic. This hearing is covering the left censorship of opposing viewpoints and you've all seen it on display all day long. They've been doing exactly that, but they've been trying to bully and defame our Witnesses and and try to cover up their opinions. They actually began the hearing with a motion to prevent them...

A woman who claims she was sexually abused by her bishop father and was paid $300k by the Mormon church is now speaking out to keep others safe. Chelsea Goodrich said when she was a child her father, John Goodrich, a former bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly referred to as the Mormon church, had routinely abused her. She says he climbed into her bed in a state of arousal on multiple occasions during her childhood. She told Mormon church leaders and now says they paid her $300,000 to settle potential claims and to delete...

The FBI reportedly arrested conservative actor Siaka Massaquoi after returning home from a Daily Wire movie premier for misdemeanor charges related to J6. “On Thursday, November 30th, Siaka Massaquoi and his pregnant wife, Charlotte, were headed home on a flight returning from the The Daily Wire’s Lady Ballers movie premier in Nashville, Tennessee,” a GiveSendGo page read. “Upon their arrival, Siaka was separated from his wife and abruptly arrested by the FBI. At the time, Charlotte was told the charges had to do with January 6th; however, she was not presented with any arrest warrant. Siaka was taken to Monterey...

ORLANDO, Fla. – An Orlando performing arts venue has paid a $5,000 fine in a settlement agreement after allowing children into a “sexually explicit” Christmas drag show last year, according to state records. On Thursday, a newly released consent order revealed the Plaza Live Foundation agreed in August to pay the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations a $5,000 fine as part of a settlement with the state. he venue also agreed not to allow anyone under 18 years of age into any performance “which contains, depicts, or simulates any activities” that violate the state’s obscenity laws, the order...

On Friday, Top of the Rock unveiled a brand-new attraction on the 69th-floor outdoor observation deck in which guests seated on a steel girder get lifted into the open air and spun around to experience unparalleled views of the Big Apple. Aptly called the Beam, it’s a nod to Rockefeller Center’s storied history and the iconic, black-and-white 1932 photo “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,” which famously features 11 steelworkers hanging off a construction beam on their break while building 30 Rock — then known as the RCA Building. And despite the rain, many lined up to ride the Beam on Friday...
