Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Jack Smith has filed his reply brief with DC appellate court to oppose Trump's appeal of Judge Chutkan's order denying presidential immunity in J6 case.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on Saturday said her home was the target of a swatting call and she has received threats since her ruling Thursday that Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot in the Republican primary in 2024. “This behavior is unacceptable. The non-stop threatening communications the people who work for me endured all day yesterday is unacceptable,” Bellows, a Democrat, wrote on Facebook Saturday afternoon. “It’s designed to scare not only me but also others into silence, to send a message.” The Maine Department of Public Safety issued a statement Saturday confirming the...

Democrats are still challenging congressional district maps nearly four years after they were drawn, hoping that the next court-ordered maps will favor them over Republicans. It looks like they will succeed in New York but fail in North Carolina. The state Democratic legislature will eventually draw the map which will take at least four Republican seats and give them to Democrats In North Carolina, three Democratic seats have been gerrymandered into extinction. The upshot from all this maneuvering is that it's a wash and neither party gains more than one or two seats. There are 28 Democrats who have already...

The FBI Headquarters should not be moved to a far away location, but should stay right where it is, in a new and spectacular building, in the best location in our now crime ridden and filthy dirty, graffiti scarred, Capital. They should be involved in bringing back D.C., not running away from it, especially the violent crime. An important part of my platform for President is to bring back, restore, and rebuild Washington, D.C., into the “crown jewel” of our Nation. We will make it crime free and GREAT AGAIN. The FBI should not be fleeing for safer, yet much...

"We can see Ukrainian Soldier in this video at 3:49. It was published by the Ukrainian Soldier at 3:51. On this video, we can see a young man who was sitting in the trenches. When I was watching this video for the first time, I didn't understand what exactly is happening. But later, when I read the comments and the description of this video, I realized everything. If you take a look at this young man, he is a man with special needs. He's a special needs person who was forcefully mobilized and sent to the front line, where he's...

A New York woman has gone viral on TikTok after sharing shocking footage from the inside of her date’s bathroom. The content creator, known only as Claire, purportedly met the anonymous man on the dating app Hinge before ending up back at his Big Apple apartment. But the night seemingly stopped going smoothly when Claire stepped away to use the bathroom and found several unexpected items inside. In the video, which has clocked up more than 12 million views since it was posted last week, Claire claimed she discovered expensive skincare stored in the man’s bathroom cabinet.

Frightening footage shows the moment a 67-year-old man was brutally accosted in a Houston parking lot after getting confused and mistaking his attackers' car for his daughter's. The victim attacked in the clip has since been identified as Florentino Hurtado, who relatives said was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's two years ago. The men seen carrying out the beating - which happened Saturday outside a local meat market - are believed to be Trayvion Lockridge and Derodric Stephens, who are both in police custody following the assault. The pair - allegedly seen bombarding the senior with blows before stomping him...

It might be comforting to think that American democracy has made it past the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. But our research shows that a wide range of the American people, of all political stripes, seek leaders who are fundamentally anti-democratic. It’s true that many who participated in the insurrection are facing consequences, including prison time. Many candidates for state office who falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election lost their races. And the congressional committee investigating the insurrection voted to refer Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal charges. But more than 100 members of Congress...

As I settle in for an uneventful NYE 2023 "celebration" I am humbly asking fellow FReepers who are well versed in the vices of (esp) sloth and gluttony to offer their own personal recommendations for good weekend killing movies. Many thanks in advance. Stay safe...my couch is safe.

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum threads labeled “Prayer” are closed to debate of any kind.

Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb predicted Tuesday that the U.S. Supreme Court could rule “9-0” in favor of former President Trump in a potential appeal of Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that would kick Trump off the state’s ballot. “I think this case will be handled quickly. I think it could be 9-0 in the Supreme Court for Trump,” Cobb said in an interview on CNN, adding later, “I do believe it could be 9-0, because I think the law is clear.” The Colorado Supreme Court issued a ruling Tuesday that Trump should not appear on Colorado’s ballot due to...

In a post to his social media platform Truth Social, written in all capital letters, Trump wrote that there would be a catastrophic stock market crash and a new “Great Depression.” Trump wrote: THE ECONOMY IS TERRIBLE & INFLATION, WHICH BY SOME ACCOUNTS IS MORE THAN 30% OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, HAS TOTALLY DESTROYED THE BUYING POWER OF THE CONSUMER. THE ONLY THING THAT IS KEEPING THE ECONOMY “ALIVE” IS THE FUMES OF WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. THE STOCK MARKET IS ONLY HIGH BECAUSE PEOPLE, & INSTITUTIONS, BELIEVE & EXPECT ME TO WIN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION...

The analysis said that Russia is on track to suffer 500,000 killed and wounded by the beginning of 2025, a figure dwarfing Russian losses in any other conflict since World War II. Russian troops have spent the past couple of months trying to seize the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka, situated in Donetsk Oblast, though they have made only limited gains... On Friday, the Russians launched one of the biggest aerial assaults on Ukrainian cities since the war began in February 2022, with at least 39 people killed by 120 missiles and 36 drones, according to Kyiv. On Saturday, 10...

The current political and demographic shifts in Europe are an existential threat to its indigenous populations, not seen since the Gates of Vienna in 1683, with concerns that European identity, culture, and history are in danger of extinction due to the joint efforts of the left and Islam. A recent broadcast on ORF’s “Zeit im Bild” has ignited a firestorm of controversy, featuring Verena Brunschweiger, a climate activist who openly advocated for replacing Austrian children with immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. Driving her narrative with a deep-seated culture of guilt, Brunschweiger seeks to persuade whites and Europeans to...

Red Voice Media posted a video that we had not seen before from the January 6 protest at the US Capitol. In the video, Jacob Chansley, later dubbed the “Q Shaman,” reads a tweet from President Trump to the crowd outside the US Capitol and tells them to go home. Chansley added, “We are peaceful… We are not Antifa.” Q Shaman Jacob Chansley: “We’re going to throw up the tweet. Donald Trump has asked everybody to go home. Okay? – This is America. You guys want to stay, that’s fine. Donald Trump has asked everybody to go home.” Fellow Protester:...

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod warned that Democrat efforts to prevent former President Donald Trump from running in the 2024 presidential elections risks tearing the country apart. “I have very, very strong reservations about all of this,” Axelrod told CNN’s OutFront host Erin Burnett. “I do think it would rip the country apart if he were actually prevented from running because tens of millions of people want to vote for him.” “I think if you’re going to beat Donald Trump, you’re going to probably have to do it at the polls,” he continued. Axelrod, who served as Obama’s senior adviser...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians, scientists and media organizations vilified unvaccinated people, blaming them for prolonging the pandemic and advocating policies that barred “the unvaccinated” from public venues, businesses and their own workplaces. But a peer-reviewed study published last week in Cureus shows that a key April 2022 study by Fisman et al. — used to justify draconian policies segregating the unvaccinated — was based on the application of flawed mathematical risk models that offer no scientific backing for such policies. Dr. David Fisman, a University of Toronto epidemiologist was the lead author of the April 2022 study, published in...

Chris Christie ties his shift on gay marriage to Vatican ruling on same-sex blessingsRepublican presidential candidate Chris Christie, once an opponent of same-sex marriage, said Thursday his views on the matter have shifted, citing the Vatican’s recent document on same-sex blessings as evidence that “even the Church is changing.”“And so you know for me, it’s still, it was a process I had to go through to change the way I’ve been raised both from a family perspective and what my mother and father taught me and felt and also from a religious perspective and … what my Church taught me...

How can anyone read headlines like this and not conclude that the ruling regime is actively trying to destroy the nation? Biden is on video saying he wants to make whites a minority in the USA.

This powerful report exposes how the corrupt elements that have hijacked the U.S. government are coordinating with the United Nations to bring down America with open borders and endless immigration.
