During a recent message preached at the 2024 Southwest Believers’ Convention, the 87-year-old money-grubber...

John Fetterman (D-PA), once a darling of the Democrat Party and now a party pariah, is reportedly skipping the 2024 Democratic National Convention.The sensational senator, whose sudden apostatizing while in office left his fellow Democrats livid, said the reason isn't Israel-related.According to what Fetterman told The Free Press's senior editor Peter Savodnik, "[I]t has nothing—literally nothing—to do with him scotch-taping photos of the Israeli hostages to his Senate office walls. Or attacking fellow Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar for falsely blaming a hospital bombing in Gaza on Israel. ('It's truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame...

You’ve got to give credit to former President Donald Trump for being the first to bring up what has become a politically popular proposal to eliminate the federal income tax on tipped wages. It was a smart political move. Republicans, long maligned as the party of billionaires and multinational corporations, could use more policy proposals aimed at helping lower and middle class workers and small businesses.

You’ve also...

In 1989, the Chinese Communist Party cracked down on pro-democracy protests with bullets and tanks. Who can forget the image of a lone protester being crushed to death in Tiananmen Square? That same year, Tim Walz hopped on a plane and flew to China to teach for a year, where he was lavished with gifts and a salary that dwarfed that of native Chinese teachers. According to his congressional biography, "Walz spent 1989-1990 teaching high school in China as a part of the first government sanctioned groups of American educators to teach in China through a program at Harvard University."Upon...
