Free Republic

Until President Trump came on the scene, the U.S. Congress basically consisted of Democrats and RINOs with only a few actual Republicans sprinkled throughout the GOP. Thanks to Trump morphing the party into America First Patriots, MAGA Republicans are pushing back at the insanity tossed at us by Democrat—for example, gerrymandering, which communist Democrats have made into an art form. Per Vice President J.D. Vance:The gerrymander in California is outrageous. Of their 52 congressional districts, nine of them are Republican. That means 17 percent of their delegation is Republican when Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in that...

They’re shooting up, and getting down.New York City’s controversial, taxpayer-funded “safe” injection site has reached a depraved new low — with addicts so zonked out they routinely have sex in broad daylight, often at the doorstep of neighbors forced to endure the X-rated free-for-all.The Post witnessed the madness firsthand near OnPoint’s East Harlem headquarters on a recent Wednesday afternoon, as a horndog pair were conjoined for fifteen long minutes — and kept going even as pedestrians awkwardly walked past.“The guy was just doing his thing, just looking around, wasn’t afraid of anything. I couldn’t believe it. I just could not...

Back to Videos Bessent: How Can The Fed Set Rates When Jobs Data Is This Broken? "This Was A Five Standard Deviation Mistake" Posted By Tim Hains On Date August 7, 2025 Treasury Secretary Bessent defended President Trump's decision to fire Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) head Erika McEntarfer after unprecedented downward revisions to May and June jobs figures published in July. "The mistake that they made last week was a five to six standard deviation mistake," Bessent told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday. "There’s something wrong here. Because on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve voted not to cut rates. On...

MI5 suspected that the German founder of Rolex was a Nazi spy, the Telegraph can reveal. Formerly classified documents at the National Archives show how secret service agents feared Hans Wilsdorf should be blacklisted due to his “strong” sympathies for Adolf Hitler’s regime. The Second World War papers, dated between 1941 and 1943, state that Wilsdorf was “most objectionable” and “suspected of espionage”. The file also suggested the businessman may have made much of his decision to offer British prisoners of war (POWs) free Rolex watches despite his real intentions being anything but patriotic. The papers – many stamped from...

Thom Tillis blocked Ed Martin from being the US Attorney for DC b/c he was a threat to the Deep State, but now he’s prosecuting Letitia James and Adam Schiff. .... Thank goodness. So much corruption. So little time. ... Ed Martin’s appointment as special prosecutor is a critical step toward accountability. Bondi’s move to impanel grand juries against Schiff and James exposes a pattern of weaponized lawfare—where political elites abuse their power to target opponents. Schiff’s alleged mortgage fraud and James’s documented abuses in the Trump case aren’t isolated; they’re symptoms of a system that protects insiders while punishing...

Jimmy Fallon joked and laughed his way through a Tonight Show interview with Fox News late-night rival Greg Gutfeld, who recently tried to reclaim the word “Nazi” as his own. “In addition to Gutfeld! and The Five, you started hosting a new game show… I’m excited about this,“ Fallon said, in one of the few moments where he acknowledged what Gutfeld did for a living. Gutfeld has courted controversy throughout his time on Fox News, such as his 2023 call for a civil war after asserting that “elections don’t work,” or his attempt in July this year to “remove the...

Parents, social media, and lawmakers continually fail young women.A YouTube child star became a record-breaking OnlyFans creator within one minute of her 18th birthday, generating over $1 million in three hours. The child star, thrust into the spotlight at age 9 in 2018, was popularized for her vulgar raps, explicit language, and obsession with wealth. Her mother seemed to be managing her life and social media presence. The influencer alluded to entering the sex industry months ago by posting multiple videos asking her audience if she should “drop the link” to explicit content on her 18th birthday. She even stated...

Russia! Russia! Russia! Obama's now-obliterated intel assessment on foreign influence in the 2016 election was supposed to also research China's history of hacking U.S. presidential campaigns. Despite that task, the assessment never mentioned Beijing at all, and instead was focussed on creating a false Trump/Russia collusion narrative. The controversial January 2017 intelligence community assessment (ICA) on meddling in the 2016 election was supposed to include details on Chinese hacking efforts targeting U.S. presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012 — but it focused solely on Russia instead, and never mentioned Beijing once.The omission of any mention of China in the...

As a result of the eleventh-hour trip from US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow, a meeting between Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin became a reality – and what’s more, both sides now firmly believe that there’s an acceptable plan being negotiated that will put an end to the war in Ukraine.What exactly this plan is the public hasn’t been told, which leaves plenty of space for the MSM to fill in the blanks with propaganda aimed at disrupting the summit and the peace progress.Besides that, there’s also the fact that – as expected – Ukraine has...

Desperate people clamouring around a truck begging for food. An emaciated child on death’s door. Women, girls, children, babies: no innocent is immune from Israel’s psychotically cruel campaign of bloodlust in Gaza. It is unbearable to see. Who can stand by and watch such crimes? This, at any rate, is what most of the world’s media, from the most respectable broadcaster to the grimiest freesheet, is eager for you to think. It is also what Hamas wants you to think. As long-term masters of some of the most cynical propaganda the world has ever seen, Hamas is succeeding in its...

Did you know Judge Boasberg protected Ray Epps? He gave Ray probation while locking everyone else up. That is why it is important for Americans to once and for all know if Ray Epps was a federal asset on Jan 6th. (Hint: he was) It would unravel the entire operation. ... It's pathetic that Republicans have not dragged Boasberg through the impeachment process yet. ... rinos and dems are on the same team ... Raskin, Epps, Norm Eisen and his filmmaker Nick Quested all need to be investigated for J6. ... Don’t forget Jamie Raskin…he and Ray Epps I believe...

Whether you pronounce the delectable fruit (yes, it’s a fruit) as tomato or tomatto, Trump’s Mexican tariffs are forcing many dining establishments to either raise prices and risk losing customers, revamp menus or swallow the cost and bleed margin, said Sapana Grossi of Shah Grossi Law Firm, a business attorney specializing in the food and beverage industry.

The police investigation led to charges and a subsequent trial in 2017, but the accused was acquitted by a jury. In 2020, a coronial inquest identified Shandee's killer.

Despite grappling with fears for a son held hostage in the middle of a deadly war zone, Yehuda Cohen still holds onto hope. "I have three children, I'm going to have three children until the last day of my life," he said. "Nimrod will come back and complete our family." It is a sentiment which is obviously fuelled by a father's love, but it is also borne out of necessity — a sense of purpose, even as the window of opportunity for his family to be reunited with one another seems to be getting narrower by the hour. A photo...

Americans from out of state still would have to pay higher tuition price Anyone who has lived in Pennsylvania for at least 12 months “regardless of immigration status” would be eligible for in-state tuition under a new bill.

Last week, the bill was referred to the House Education Committee for consideration. Scott described the current in-state tuition law as “exclusionary” in a co-sponsorship memo with state Rep.

A teacher convicted of sexually abusing an underage boy was able to have a baby with his husband through a surrogate, potentially exploiting a loophole in state law. The issue recently came to light and sparked outrage after a video circulated online showing Brandon Riley-Mitchell, 39, and his husband holding their infant boy and blowing out candles on a series of cupcakes. Riley-Mitchell, a former chemistry teacher at Downingtown West High School in Pennsylvania, was convicted in 2016 of sexually abusing a student and possessing child pornography. He had a sexually inappropriate relationship with the 16-year-old student between May 2013...

One of the internet’s most famous fact-checkers, former Washington Post writer Glenn Kessler, was grilled by author and podcaster Mark Halperin on Friday over media bias. The man behind The Washington Post's "Pinocchios" announced in late July he would be leaving the paper without anyone to fill his shoes. Kessler, who reportedly edited more than 3,000 fact checks as editor and chief writer of The Fact Checker, announced that week he had taken a buyout deal, ending his lengthy career at the Post. "After more than 27 years at The Washington Post, including almost 15 as The Fact Checker, I...
