Free Republic

David Horowitz (Radical Son) recently turned 85 and marked the milestone in fine style: I am touched by today’s tributes and only wish our great country could share my joys and satisfactions. Instead, it is besieged by the forces of darkness and hate with such ferocity and ignorance that it is unclear whether this free and generous land as we have known it will survive. The [David Horowitz] Freedom Center is a unique institution with a unique mission. It was founded in 1988 by two ex-radicals who were alarmed by the way American conservatives and patriots underestimated the malice of...

Researchers have introduced the world’s fastest battery-charging technology for smartphones. This new technology can fully charge a smartphone in under five minutes. The 320-watt charging technology, called “320W SuperSonic Charge,” was developed by the Chinese electronics company Realme. This advancement surpasses earlier chargers. Previously, the smartphone company Redmi, a part of Xiaomi, revealed a 300-watt charger in February 2023. It could charge a device in just 4 minutes and 55 seconds. Until now, no other manufacturer had managed to go beyond this speed, as reported by Live Science. Realme representatives showcased the new charging technology at the Realme 828 Fanfest...

HD backing off it's stance on certain unpopular social programs can be considered a small victory, but the war is far from over.The Motor Companies board has been systematically destroying its own market reach and potential ever since it took over back in 2007, and now it's time for the end game to begin. Removing manufacturing from the US, and eliminate the internal combustion engine from its lineup as early as 2030 are the objectives here, and the current CEO, Jochan Zietz, who proclaims himself to be the Taliban Of Sustainability, is on a personal mission to make that happen....

The more information that leaks out regarding the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the worse it looks for the Secret Service. Senator Josh Hawley on Friday obtained more damning information from a Secret Service whistleblower that the agency headquarters specifically ordered agents not to request any additional manpower for the event because such requests would be denied on the spot. It’s almost as if the Secret Service senior staffers wanted President Trump dead and buried. How can he place any trust in the agency going forward? Below is the entire letter from Hawley containing the full details of the betrayal:

It was 17 years ago that a group of volunteers began to restore the Rancho San Andreas Castro Adobe, a structure whose endurance over its 176-year lifespan helps paint a picture of California history. Now fully restored and equipped with interpretative displays, touchable exhibits and multimedia offerings, the building is open monthly—including this Sunday, Aug. 11. Restoration efforts began in 2007, when volunteers made more than 2,000 adobe bricks by hand and recreated the kitchen, which is one of just four Mexican-era “cocinas” in the state, says Bonny Hawley, executive director of Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, a nonprofit...

Las Vegas Raiders Players Maxx Crosby, Alex Bachman, and Gardner Minshew met with Donald Trump during the former president’s recent visit to Vegas, according to an X post showing the two players shaking Trump’s hand. The GOP candidate for president was in Las Vegas on Thursday ahead of his campaign event on Friday as now former independent candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is announcing that he is suspending his own campaign and endorsing the Trump-Vance ticket for 2024. Raiders All-Pro @CrosbyMaxx & Raiders Starting Quarterback @GardnerMinshew5 with President Trump yesterday at Trump Las Vegas. Nevada is Trump Country...

Moments after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential bid and endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump, members of his famous Democratic family weighed in with words of disappointment. In a scathing joint statement released on Friday, Aug. 23, five of Bobby's siblings — who are all children of the late U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy — publicly distanced themselves from his decision to join forces with Trump less than one year after leaving the Democratic Party. "We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by...

Anybody see that movie 'The Dead Zone'? In a crucial scene the evil politician sees an assassin trying to shoot him. He grabs a baby and puts it between the gun and himself. The assassin holds back because he will not shoot through a baby. The act is caught on camera and the evil politician loses his race because his cowardace is played over and over again. What Walz just did is his Dead Zone moment. Notice the hate on Walz's face as he tugs his son into line. Even though he knows multiple cameras are watching he can't control...

A 63-year-old man was charged in court on Friday (Aug 23) with a slew of offences, including cheating, money laundering and failing to report movements of cash into Singapore. South Korean Kim Taek Hoon faces a total of 21 charges. Nine of them are for cheating several logistics providers, another four are for cheating Singapore Customs as well as four counts of failing to fully and accurately declare over S$20,000 in cash brought into Singapore. SNIP Kim was arrested in December last year after the police's Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) received information over his potential involvement in a scheme to...

EU member state threatens to provide train tickets for refugees to travel directly to Brussels, sparking a massive outcry. A defiant minister of the country says ‘If Brussels wants migrants, they will get them.’ Hungary has escalated its argument with the European Union about the appropriate amount of migrants to welcome. The debate has been going on for a while. Hungary would transfer migrants to Brussels, according to a minister of Viktor Orban’s, if the EU keeps pressuring Budapest to take in more asylum seekers. ‘If Brussels wants more migrants, they can have them’ At a news conference on Thursday,...

The family of former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ripped his decision to endorse former President Donald Trump on Friday. “We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride,” the family said in a statement. “We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story,” they said: I am sharing...

Let me stipulate for the record: The American press is an embarrassment. Journalists are being unfair in their coverage. CNN and Politico and the New York Times and the Associated Press and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt and NPR News are hyping Kamala Harris as the second coming and putting a thumb, two hands, and a 45-pound dumbbell on the scales in an attempt to prop her up. It also doesn’t matter. None of it is remotely decisive. The reason why the Republican Party is, at the moment, on track to lose the 2024 election is that the Republican...

Donald Trump thanked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Friday after the scion of the legendary family offered him a dynamic-shifting endorsement. Kennedy stated Friday he is suspending his campaign but not ending it, urging residents of blue states to vote for him but throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump in battleground states. The distinction is important for Kennedy, whose candidacy was composed of supporters and volunteers from across the political spectrum. But Kennedy ripped Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, while praising Trump Friday, and for all practical purposes, this is an endorsement, plain and simple.

Special Counsel Jack Smith reversed course in his quest to seek expedited hearings in his Washington, DC, case against former President Donald Trump. Smith sought the hearings to determine which actions that Trump allegedly took he could charge in his election interference case against the president. The Supreme Court’s July 1 decision that presidents enjoy partial immunity for actions taken in office in an official capacity spurred Smith to alter his approach. Before Smith relented in his latest push to expedite the increasingly shaky case, Judge Tanya Chutkan had planned to hold hearings in the fall to determine which of...

Phil Donahue died this week at age 88. He was an early adopter and strong proponent of the sexual revolution and abortion on demand. Millions of women tuned in every afternoon to hear his hard-left views decades ago. They were indoctrinated into liberalism after learning how their marriages were oppressive and their children burdens. My mom used to watch it after her "stories" wrapped up, and your mom probably did, too. Women would be further radicalized by popular magazines like "Cosmopolitan" and, for much younger women, "Seventeen." Later, Oprah Winfrey took up Donahue's mantle with a more feel-good New Age...

PHOENIX — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign told a Pennsylvania court that he will be endorsing former President Donald Trump, ahead of his own Friday afternoon announcement putting to rest a tumultuous independent presidential campaign. The filing in Pennsylvania, in a lawsuit related to a legal challenge to his own ballot access in the state, said that Kennedy was withdrawing from the ballot "as a result of today's endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States."

A derailment of a mile-long freight train that injured two crew members overnight is under investigation. It happened in the eastern part of Boulder near Foothills Hospital, close to the intersection of Arapahoe Avenue and 48th Street. The train workers were taken to the hospital and were released on Friday morning. The crash destroyed a rail bridge and some trees were knocked down, but there was no other damage aside from the damage to the train cars. The derailment stretches across a wide area and is expected to take a while to clean up.
