Free Republic

Ronald Reagan made one of his most famous economic quotes in a 1982 radio interview. “Free trade serves the cause of economic progress, and it serves the cause of world peace.” Free trade and peace seem to be two of the traits that the DNC and neocons hate the most. History has shown that free trade among nations is one of the best ways to create prosperity and that it is in all countries’ best interests to pursue free trade.

It was another frustrating week for Congress as a spending bill was passed that avoided a government shutdown but postponed our fiscal problems until March. According to Bradley Jay of Breitbart, the bill extended “spending levels and policy priorities negotiated in February and March 2024 with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and President Joe Biden.”

On December 19th, the Wall Street Journal published “How the White House functioned with a diminished Biden in charge” outlining their, the Biden Cabinet, the DNC, Democrat Donors, Kamala Harris, and the legacy media’s long-held awareness from the earliest days of his “presidency" that Joe Biden’s mental capacities had waned. To put it bluntly, they lied. They then proceeded to gaslight anyone with a functioning brain that what we were seeing with our own eyes were “cheapfakes.” Yet, another conspiracy theory come to conspiracy fact. The question must be asked -- who was running the country? Was it Dr. Jill?...

Elon may already be undertaking the “Free Europe” process too. In a prior article, “Whining Euro-weenies on full display”, I suggested that after Elon and Vivek are done transforming the federal government, they can tackle the liberation of Europe—Elon may be undertaking that process earlier than I expected. In a six-word tweet, Musk asserted that “Only the AfD can save Germany.” AfD is the Alternative for Germany party. The European ruling class responded with predictable pearl-clutching and hyperventilation, but remained impotent in their ability to censor him. However, they are correct to infer that Musk threatens the power of the...

There truly aren’t enough words to describe just how big of a scandal the White House cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline really is. ... the liberal media doesn’t feel that it has to protect Joe Biden anymore, and there have been a torrent of stories exposing how Biden’s mental decline was handled for four years. The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and even the New York Times have all hit the story. The fallout from this could be extensive for the Democratic Party. Democratic donor and operative Lindy Li hasn’t held back in her critiques of the party. For...

This is what autogenocide looks like ... Deliberate demographic replacement is considered a form of genocide. But genocide is generally carried out by one group against another. What does it mean when a group carries out genocide against itself? In politics, a ‘self-coup’ or ‘autocoup’ is a seizure of power by the existing government. Mass migration is an autocoup or an ‘autogenocide’ which, rather than seizing power by armed force, corrupts democracy by importing millions of enemy voters to seize the ountry ‘democratically’. ... In the last 20 years, Ireland, a small nation of millions, has been overwhelmed by a...

President-elect Donald Trump's transition team intends to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 20, the day of his inauguration, according to reports from the Financial Times. This move would sever ties with the leading international public health agency, potentially undermining global health initiatives and pandemic response efforts. Implications of Immediate Withdrawal The United States is the largest single donor to the WHO, contributing approximately 16% of its funding in the 2022-2023 period. An abrupt withdrawal would create a significant financial shortfall, impairing the organization's capacity to address health emergencies, including disease outbreaks and humanitarian...

They break everything on their way out. After the inauguration of President George W. Bush on January 20, 2001, many new White House aides excitedly showed up for work the next day only to find their office spaces vandalized and trashed. Phone cords were ripped from walls. Bathrooms were littered and disgusting. Mirrors were broken. Chair backs were missing. Desk drawers were covered in glue. Desk locks were destroyed. The “W” keys were removed from computer keyboards. This was the Democrats’ idea of a “peaceful transfer of power.” Oh, President Clinton’s staffers had their reasons. After Vice President Al Gore...

Google announced on Dec. 9th that it had developed a new quantum computing chip known as ‘Willow.’ The chip performed a computation that would take a supercomputer ten septillion (1025) years in under five minutes. Google’s Quantum AI lead Neven said Willow was a major breakthrough in quantum error correction. There is speculation that the new developments could threaten crypto.

Don’t brush off this warning. As a flurry of holiday gifts arrive on people’s doorsteps this season, unsuspecting shoppers could also receive packages addressed to them that they never ordered. With a scam known as “brushing,” cybercriminals will ship packages with no return address that contain a QR code, prompting the confused recipient to scan the code to reveal who sent the package. Unbeknownst to the recipient, the code could expose sensitive information from their smartphones or download malicious software onto the devices. “A scammer’s QR code could take you to a spoofed site that looks real but isn’t. And...

A little-known environmental provision in the fiscal year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has no impact on military operations, but will instead serve to “protect the native vegetation,” a Navy spokesperson .. The nearly $884 billion defense bill passed by the U.S. Senate Wednesday includes an initiative to “manage, control and interdict the coconut rhinoceros beetle” — an invasive species of insect that bore holes into the canopies of palm trees — “on military installations in Hawaii.” By the Navy’s own admission, the initiative’s purpose is to preserve vegetation, and thus is effectively unrelated to the Department of Defense’s...

Biden's ally and former campaign chair, Senator Chris Coons, says he did not realize something was mentally wrong with Biden until the debate with Trump

I keep getting emails with Nextdoor info. It looks like Twitter pretty much and it has my neighborhood correct but I wondered if there were any problems with it or if it might be handy to use.

They weren’t run over by a reindeer. President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murders — in a stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas. Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said. “Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve...

Russia began its Feb 2022 invasion with a massive force advantage over Ukraine in the Black Sea - but over time we've seen the Russian fleet steadily pushed back by a Ukrainian strategy of sea denial driven by anti-ship missiles, reconnaissance drones and, critically, USVs (AKA naval drones) Those drones have evolved rapidly, to the point where now we've seen them launching rockets or fighting back against helicopters. So in this episode, I look at the Black Sea campaign since our 2023 update, and examine the evolution of Ukrainian USVs and the Russian response.
