Free Republic

The Islamic Republic of Iran is weak and vulnerable, far more than the regime would have us believe. That’s the biggest takeaway from last week’s suspected Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran — and it delivers important messages to the ayatollah, his terror proxies, the Iranian people and Washington policymakers. Haniyeh’s killing while under maximum protection by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tells Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, that Israel has deeply infiltrated the ayatollah’s intelligence and security establishment. Furthermore, unlike in previous years, Israel is now prepared to use its power to...

A father of two young girls was allegedly shot dead by a neighbor who angrily confronted him after his daughter “touched the mulch” in his yard while the family was on a walk in their suburban Michigan neighborhood. Nathan Morris, 35, was on a walk with his wife and daughters, ages 2 and 5, near their home in Canton just before noon Saturday when police say their neighbor Deveraux Christopher Johnson, 47, confronted him and the two got into an argument, Fox 2 Detroit reported. Johnson was reportedly upset that Morris’ daughter “touched the mulch” on his property, the Michigan...

More Russia, Russia, Russia. All those protests and riots across England (and the United Kingdom for that matter), and the anti-migration sentiments reverberating throughout the native English population, aren’t because the people are fed up with the way things are, but because Russia is running a psy-op, and Vladimir Putin is paying off men like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson to do his bidding. At least, that’s the theory according to Christopher Steele, the same man behind the infamous “Pee Dossier” of 2016, a document bought and paid for by Democrat operatives, handed off to concerned “Republicans,” and used as...

The Trump = Hitler analogy is getting old. We've been in desperate need of some fresh material! Unsurprisingly, Trump-loathing journalist David Frum appeared on CNN This Morning today to supply it. Frum dug up, and approvingly quoted, this line from Republican consultant Mike Murphy -- or to be completely up to date, "Republican Voters Against Trump" consultant Mike Murphy. "Asking Donald Trump to talk about policy, it's like teaching Charles Manson to foxtrot. He can manage a step or two, but then he's going to put a pencil in your eye, because he's Charles Manson. And Donald Trump is Donald...

Though many credit her for getting President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race for the presidency, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) denied "doing anything more than appeal to his better nature. And it worked. He gracefully stepped aside so the Democratic Party could install Vice-President Harris as its presidential nominee. He demonstrated a greatness that is rare and worthy of eternal glorification by having his face carved on Mt. Rushmore." "His accomplishments is office were monumental," Pelosi added. "As he has said himself on multiple occasions he cured the economy, beat covid, secured the border,...

A former Obama administration official is defending Vice President Kamala Harris for shying away from the press. Michael McFaul served as United States ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014. He is also a contributing columnist to the Washington Post and a professor at Stanford University. Taking to X Wednesday, McFaul highlighted attacks over Harris’s cautious approach toward the press. The vice president, he said, has no obligation to engage with reporters. “The paramount objective for @KamalaHarris is to win this election,” he wrote. “If a press conference helps her win, she should do it. If not, she shouldn’t do...

Hey, Siri! Help book me a trip somewhere warm in the final week of January. If the latest Farmers’ Almanac prediction is true, you might want to put your toes in the sand after Christmas. The coming winter will be wet and cold in most places, according to the almanac’s outlook. The Farmers’ Almanac has been making long-range weather forecasts for more than 200 years. According to its latest outlook, released Tuesday, you should prepare yourself for the “Wet, Winter, Whirlwind” ahead. Its annual extended weather prediction calls for a season of rapid-fire storms that will bring both rain and...

Inflation rose again in July 2024 for the 42nd consecutive month since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office in January 2021. Yet, corporate media demand that Americans celebrate the 2.9 percent price hike plaguing their pocketbooks as an “inflation milestone.” According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ consumer price index for last month, Americans paid 2.2 percent more for food, 4.9 percent more for electricity, 5.1 percent more for shelter, 8.8 percent more for transportation, and 3.3 percent more for medical care than they did in July 2023. Even compared to May 2024, July’s inflation...

Ukraine Captures Russian HQ! Kremlin Command in Disarray!

PETERSBURG, Va. (WRIC) — Four people were shot on Virginia State University’s campus Wednesday in the early hours. According to the Chesterfield County Police Department, at 12:36 a.m., officers responded to a reported shooting outside the university’s Daniel Gymnasium. When officers arrived, they found four people shot. All four were taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Police say that no one involved in the shooting was a student, and no officers fired shots during the shooting. Multiple suspects have been identified by police, and charges are pending, though officials have not clarified the number of suspects.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order on Thursday that requires hospitals in Texas to collect information on the immigration status of patients so that the hospitals can then track costs incurred for the care of undocumented migrants. Previous guidance for hospitals did not include questions about immigration status. The executive order would mandate the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to collect this information so that the state of Texas could then bill the federal government. “Due to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ open border policies, Texas has had to foot the bill for medical costs...

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris nationally by two percentage points, a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners survey reports. The survey examines the race between Trump and Harris, the latter of whom Democrat leaders coronated as their top-of-the-ticket candidate without the help of actual Democrat voters. Bizarrely, some Democrat leaders, such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), are still claiming that this was a decision from the grassroots up. Nevertheless, Democrat elites officially nominated Harris as their party’s presidential candidate on Friday, August 2, 2024, leaving 14 million Democrats who voted for President Joe Biden in the...

American rapper and Olympic sideline reporter Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. has been accused of using a Class B drug in London, which is to say that Snoop Dogg smoked some weed. While that's hardly news in America, where marijuana is legalized depending on your location, it is an issue in the United Kingdom, where cannabis use carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and an undisclosed fine. Snoop and his guests allegedly stunk up the Mandarin Hotel south of Hyde Park in London, where several Muslim guests 'went ballistic' over the powerful aroma wafting through the century-old...

More than a dozen jurisdictions run by Democrats – including Washington D.C., and several adjacent Maryland municipalities – allow noncitizens to vote in some local elections. San Francisco not only permits noncitizens to vote but appointed one to serve on its Elections Commission. Such developments, against a backdrop of millions of illegal migrants streaming into the United States under the Biden-Harris administration, bring new urgency to debates over election integrity. Many Republicans fear that a widespread effort is afoot to give noncitizens the full benefits of citizenship, including the right to vote in all elections, on top of benefits already...

The suggestion that boxing could be missing from the 2028 Los Angeles Games is one of those historic moments for both sport and the Olympic Games. One of the founding sports of the modern Olympics, boxing has been a core component of every Reinstatement Games since 1904. It appeared in St Louis alongside other events like wrestling, but turbulence regarding governance, ethics, and sports integrity has it teetering. The following article digs into this history, why it led to an International Olympic Committee (IOC) decision, and what that means more widely in boxing within the Olympic movement.

I’ve been filming on borders around the world since early 2019, and I always encounter government agents who want to tell me what’s really going on behind the scenes. My latest tour on the border in Jacumba, California, has been no different. An agent who spoke to me under the condition he remains anonymous told me that immediately after Joe Biden took office in 2021, official email communications from his administration instructed all Border Patrol agents to turn in family members, friends, and co-workers if they believed that the election was stolen or tampered with. The communications also directed agents...
