Free Republic

In 1789, the French Revolution erupted. After simmering and festering for a while, it finally boiled over into the murderous Reign of Terror. The anti-Catholic and proto-communist nature of the Revolution was encapsulated admirably by Church historian H.W. Crocker: The state had its own church. It began with priests whose vestments included the tricolour of the Revolution. It moved on to a cult of Reason, and Reason’s altar replaced Christ’s at the cathedral of Notre Dame. The state also endorsed a cult of Nature…and of course a cult of the State. Heroes of the Revolution replaced the saints of the...

There are three possible outcomes for this year’s election. First being that Trump barely squeaks out a victory. Lawyers on both sides will then take over the proceedings. Second being that Trump wins “bigly” and the Republicans have solid majorities in both houses of Congress. And lastly, Harris manages to achieve a “technical” victory. A Harris landslide is not within the realm of possibility. I’m betting on a Trump landslide because of a profound lack of serious competition. Harris and Walz? Really? Talk about poking a hole through the bottom of the barrel. The thinly veiled panic among the Democrat...

What is your “surprise” state that Trump wins this election? A state that most wouldn’t expect Trump to win, but you think he will.

Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump has been viewed at least 42 million times on YouTube since November 1st, 2024. That number does not include people watching/listening on Spotify or X, where the interview is also available.The most dangerous opponent of the Second Amendment, the Bill of Rights, and limited government in the United States has not been advocacy groups such as “The National Council to Control Handguns,” which, after several name changes, ended up as “The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence”; or the heavily funded “Everytown for Gun Safety.”The most dangerous opponent has been the old, dominant, Progressive...

Top Democratic campaign officials said Monday that Kamala Harris has “multiple pathways” to win the presidency. O’Malley Dillon said while “we feel good about Pennsylvania,” a Harris victory doesn’t necessarily depend on winning the Keystone State. Nevertheless, the vice president is spending the entire day ahead of Election Day in the crucial battle state, where 75 percent of the state’s voters will cast their ballots on Tuesday in person. The campaign sees signs of optimism in the other two “blue wall” states of Wisconsin and Michigan, she said. And she said Democrats are equally as optimistic about winning the Sun...

I like to think of myself as helpful. In fact, if I was a Superhero in the Marvel Comic Universe, I would be Mister Helper Man.So, in an effort to assist the so-called "news" media, I've generated them a template they can copy and paste into their "news" articles, should Harris manage to steal her way into office. As we produce proof of a steal, you can simply write:These controversial claims of voter fraud are baseless rumors. They are unfounded, and unsubstantiated. This is sweeping and systemic disinformation. These sort of spurious accusations defy the reality on the ground. These...

@cb_doge The speech that changed the course of this election. Some moments shape history, and this was one of them. It also became the most-watched political rally in history.

The most iconic image of the 2024 campaign came from the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Pennsylvania on July 13. An assassin had just fired multiple shots at President Trump, wounding him in the ear. Secret Service agents scrambled to shield the president, while counter-snipers neutralized the shooter. As members of his security detail began to briskly move him from the stage where he was speaking, President Trump asked them to stop so that he could reassure supporters he was alive and well. With blood streaked across his face and pooling near one side of his mouth, he stretched a...

Election officials in Maricopa County say the county saw the largest single day of voter registration submittals in its history as it detailed final preparation and latest turnout numbers with less than 24 hours to Election Day. “We had people with entire trash bags full of voter registration forms in our lobby,” said Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who noted that approximately 90,000 registration forms were sent in on the last official day to register to vote, Oct. 7. Of those, about 50,000 were able to be processed, while the others “needed attention,” the recorder said, who explained some forms...

In a post on October 23, I noted that, during this election cycle, “energy realism” has suddenly become a positive electoral issue for Republicans. The positive electoral effect comes from pointing out that a forced energy transition increases consumer costs, limits choice, and destroys jobs. Examples cited included President Trump’s use in his campaign in Michigan of the Biden-Harris regulations restricting combustion vehicles, and his use in Pennsylvania of Harris statements that she would ban fracking. But there is another approach out there to the subject of energy realism, which has been taken up by many Republican candidates and energy...

Hamtramck Michigan Democrat mayor, Dr. Amer Ghalib, addressing the Grand Rapids crowd, states that besides his personal endorsement of Trump, a survey was taken in metro Detroit today of Arab Americans/Muslim Americans which shows 76% support for Trump, 03% for Harris

As political pressures for equity—equality of outcome—have grown in recent years, traditional methods of evaluating college students have come under threat. As the proportion of the population going to college has increased, the proportion of students who are not equipped to succeed has also increased. Dealing with an increasing number of marginal students in an equity-charged environment is one factor that has favored grade inflation. But there is a contributing factor that is built into the American system and has taken some years to reach fruition. When I first came to this country from Britain, I was surprised to find...

A mass voter fraud scheme allegedly involving fraudulent registration forms across multiple Pennsylvania counties was thwarted in the lead-up to Election Day. Local officials are pointing to a Democrat-aligned firm from Arizona run by a Kamala Harris supporter as the culprit orchestrating it. Monroe County Following a routine review of voter registration applications and mail-in ballot requests, the Monroe County Board of Elections identified approximately 30 "irregular" forms, the county's district attorney, Mike Mancuso, a Democrat, announced ... The matter was then referred to Mancuso's office for further investigation. Several of these suspicious forms were found to be fraudulent "as...

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner issued a warning to anyone who might think about interfering in Election Day activities. During a press conference on Monday, Krasner highlighted voter protection efforts made by the election task force on the eve of Election Day. "We are here on a very important day before a very important election. We are here more than anything to speak about protection of an election, making sure that the election that will occur tomorrow will be free. It will be fair, and it will be final," Krasner said

Now, I’m someone who has put meat in the freezer by my own hand. I have no delusions about where meat comes from and I’m not some crazed animal rights activist that thinks animal lives are the same as human lives. But that doesn’t matter because none of the outrage is really about the squirrel. No, it’s about justice. See, the issue with Peanut here is the uneven application of the law.

Kamala Harris' interview with a Muslim social media influencer never saw the light of day after the vice president refused to answer questions about Gaza but oddly gushed about bacon - a food religiously forbidden for Muslims. Kareem Rahma, host of the popular "Subway Takes" which boasts almost a million combined followers on Instagram and TikTok, made the decision to scrap the interview with Harris, which was filmed over the summer, he told the New York Times. Prior to the interview, Rahma was hoping to press Harris on policy, specifically the Biden administration's support for Israel amid the ongoing war...

I wasn’t planning to write this. Two years ago, I said I would vote for a Democrat over Donald Trump in 2024. I wrote that during a Republican primary I hoped Florida governor Ron DeSantis would win; DeSantis had stood almost alone against Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates, forever earning my respect. But Trump crushed DeSantis in the primary. Ever since, I have struggled over what to do in this election. In one sense, my vote doesn’t matter. I live in New York, which Kamala Harris is sure to win. But it must at least a little, because many of...

The House Energy and Commerce Committee released a new report Monday detailing how the Biden-Harris administration has given huge amounts of taxpayer cash to left-wing activist groups under the guise of “environmental justice.” The report highlights how the Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) used hundreds of millions of dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill — to line the pockets of left-wing activist groups... arguably “akin to a taxpayer-funded lobbying operation,” the lawmakers argue in the report....
