Free Republic

In his speech to the Canadian Parliament, the King sent a stronger-than-expected message to Donald Trump today. In the face of the US President’s goading, imposition of tariffs, and threats to annex his northern neighbour, Charles III warned Canada was facing unprecedented challenges in the postwar era in a world that has never been more dangerous and unstable. But he insisted Canada would protect their self-determination, forge new economic relationships with allies based on free trade, strengthen their military, and in a pointed signal to his old friend in the White House, a big fan of the Royal Family, he...

The good news is that moonbattery is not a sustainable ideology. Europe will be free of feminists, communists, and their woke worshipers. The bad news is that we might not like what replaces them. Via Allah’s Willing Executioners: The Ribera neighbourhood in Barcelona woke up with dismay [last] Thursday. The recently painted feminist mural in Carrer de la Bòria was vandalised in a way that disturbed residents. Under the motto Free, feminist and rebellious, the artist Mariel Soria had painted the portraits of eight women (including Simone de Beauvoir, Maria Aurèlia Campmany, Àngela Davis and Malala Yousafzai) together with a...

Summer camps to LGBTify children are becoming ubiquitous (see e.g. here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). But at least parents uninterested in encouraging their boys to be light in the loafers can send them to a football camp — just not this one: Who says football can’t have a little glitter with its grit? Meet Khalen Saunders, the 28-year-old defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints, who just made a game-changing announcement: he’s launching an LGBTQ+-friendly youth football camp this summer. And in his own words? “Football is for all.” “All” does not include healthy, normal kids...

June is almost here, which means the corporate spasm of rainbow flag-waving is about to commence with all the subtlety of a Vegas drag show crashing a funeral. Pride Month, the holiest month in the calendar of Ba’al worship, is not content with simply your tolerance of them. Tolerance was the Trojan horse. The beast has now kicked down the gates, marched into the public square, and has begun licking its chops at your children. Quick Review: Kellogg's Together with Pride Cereal - Cerealously You’ve seen it—on cereal boxes, children’s clothing displays at Target, bank ads on Hulu and Netflix,...

In a recent episode of his podcast, Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Wright was asked by a self-described trans-identified woman—who now lives as a man and has undergone surgeries including a hysterectomy—whether her current lifestyle is sinful, and how the Bible might speak to her situation. According to The Christian Post, Wright responded not with clarity, but with the kind of theological oatmeal that tries to nourish everyone and ends up feeding no one. Wright affirmed that “God meets us where we are and loves us as we are,” insisted this wasn’t an “anything goes” situation, then promptly refused to say...

The pastrix of Downey Avenue Christian Church—a church and a denomination that is anything but Christian—compares the explicit novel, The Color Purple, to Scripture, calling it “holy and inspired.” Not metaphorically. Not emotionally. No, she literally calls it a “sacred text.” Because apparently, in her world, Alice Walker and the Holy Spirit are co-authors now. “When the Bible was bound and written and put together, the inspiration of the Spirit did not cease,” she preaches, as if divine revelation is still trickling in through Broadway playbills and Oprah’s Book Club. Forget the apostles—apparently, the real prophets are writing musicals now....

Those rejecting GHF humanitarian Aid backed by US/Israel. An empty long blah blah non-answer to a simple question. As if it was so "humanely" when UN handled it... (Ciaran Donnelly of IRC). Geee. I thought it's urgent and there is no time for tests or "honor" stuff. _____ PBS NewsHour, 5.27.25. Nick Schifrin: But, in some ways, if this is the structure that Israel is demanding, why not as an international humanitarian aid organization back this structure if this is what the government of Israel requires in order to feed two million people? Ciaran Donnelly: The starting point for our...

The Presbyterian Church (USA) just revealed its membership numbers for 2024, and it is not pretty. The liberal denomination is showing a continued loss of membership, closure of churches, an increasingly aging population, and an inexorable decline into irrelevancy, with one of the only rising data points being the number of members who identify as “non-binary” or “genderqueer.” Since its formation, the PCUSA has denigrated to one massive pen for goats, run almost exclusively by faithless, didn’t-finish-well octogenarians and blue-haired lesbians, with barely a sheep to be found anywhere. Some of their greatest hits over the last three years include:...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business; End to Sex Slavery; Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14) I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to...

Conservative and pro-life groups are again asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate five fetuses found near a Washington, D.C. clinic in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is back in office. Nine organizations sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro sounding the alarm about pro-life activists’ discovery of the bodies in containers from the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Some of the babies discovered were so large that they brought suspicion of illegal partial-birth or post-birth abortions, and the Biden administration only prosecuted those who protested at the clinic in 2020. “In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C.,...

The Missouri Supreme Court today issued a ruling that could reinstate the state’s abortion safety standards — previously blocked by a lower court—by requiring the case to be reevaluated under a stricter legal standard. The decision effectively blocked abortions in Misosuri, with no abortion businesses able to meet the basic standards, and babies will be protected for now. The Court’s decision ordered Judge Jerri Zhang of the 16th Circuit to vacate her earlier rulings from December 2024 and February 2025, which had allowed abortions to temporarily resume in the state following the passage of Amendment 3. The Missouri Supreme Court...

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 1027 into law on Saturday, a measure that pro-life advocates say strengthens protections for the state’s pro-life abortion ban by reforming the initiative petition process. The bill, which caps the number of signatures that can be collected from each county for state ballot questions, aims to ensure broader representation across Oklahoma’s 77 counties, particularly amplifying rural voices. The legislation amends the requirements for state question petitions, setting a signature cap at 10% of voters in counties with populations over 400,000 and 4% in counties with fewer than 400,000 residents. Proponents argue this change...

A Texas Republican lawmaker, Candy Noble, has been roasted by one of her Democratic counterparts for passing what’s become known as the “Ten Commandments” bill on the Sabbath. Listen to this article 0:06 / 3:21 On Sunday (26 May), Senate Bill 10 – part of a push in Texas to increase the role of religion in schools – was moved forward, passing the house by 82-46, meaning that from September every public school classroom in Texas could be required to display the Ten Commandments. A viral video posted on TikTok, which has been viewed more than three million times and...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper argued the left’s reaction to him revealing his 15-year-old son wants to be a police officer is the exact reason they are losing elections. Tapper and his Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson joined Scott Galloway on The Prof G Pod on Thursday, and Tapper at one point recounted how a left-leaning podcaster made a racism jab about his son after Tapper revealed he wanted to go into law enforcement. “My son is now 15 years old, and he’s a gamer. He’s a football fan, starting linebacker on his varsity football team. The Democratic Party has no...

A pastor is demanding an apology from Seattle Democrat Mayor Bruce Harrell after Harrell blamed a Christian rally for a LGTBQ+ counter-protest that turned violent. Pro-life organization Mayday USA held a rally at Cal Anderson Park — the site of CHOP and many BLM protests — for its “DontMessWithOurKids” national tour, which hundreds attended to support biological reality, family, and religious freedom. Hundreds of Pro-LGBTQ+ counter-protesters crashed the rally and violence ensued. Twenty-three protesters were arrested, according to police. Several police officers were assaulted while trying to make arrests and control the chaos, and one officer was injured and taken...

A religious group is protesting outside Seattle City Hall on Tuesday following a weekend of unrest at Cal Anderson Park. At least four people have been arrested for assault at the First Amendment event outside of City Hall, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD). KOMO News crews at the protest saw at least one other arrest, in addition to the four SPD reported. The "Rattle in Seattle" rally was scheduled to take place at Seattle City Hall at 5 p.m. A counter rally was also planned at the same location and began an hour earlier.

President Donald Trump pardoned reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley on Tuesday, calling their daugher Savannah and informing her of his decision. The Chrisleys, who starred in the television show Chrisley Knows Best and several spin-offs, were found guilty in 2022 of defrauding banks out of $30 million. Julie Chrisley is serving time in Kentucky, while Todd Chrisley is serving time in Florida. White House aide Margo Martin revealed the pardon by posting video of the president on the phone with Savannah, captioning the post: 'Trump Knows Best!' a play on the couple's breakout reality TV show title. While...

A group of Christians are demanding an apology from Democratic Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell after he called their event — which far-left rioters had disrupted — an “extreme right-wing rally.” Evangelicals supporting Mayday USA plan to rally Tuesday outside Seattle’s City Hall following Mayor Bruce Harrell’s Saturday statement on that day’s altercation. Harrell called the group’s “Don’t Mess With Our Kids” event in Cal Anderson Park an “extreme right-wing rally,” and claimed in his statement that the event was held specifically to “provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of...

New statistics out of Germany reveal that foreign-born women, but specifically foreign-born Muslim women, are far more violent than native German men. The Remix News staff, which reported on the story, quipped that the revelation “blows up a common myth that has been perpetuated by the left for years”—that men are so violent, a bear is preferable company. (Again, never mind the fact that men, to their own detriment, have been protecting their women for essentially all of human history.) Here are the numbers for 2024: Out of 100,000 people, German men were suspects in violent offenses in 272 cases....
