Free Republic

Note: We wish this story were satire, but the Democrat Mayor of Chicago is genuinely insane. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continues to deny reality and responsibility for his crime-ridden city. Is he blaming his lax law enforcement policies? No. Is he blaming the criminals for their actions? Of course not. He’s blaming red states and their guns. Somehow, migratory guns from red states are settling in the Windy City and magically corrupting innocent Chicagoans, thus causing these otherwise peaceful, gentle souls to kill each other in the streets. Seriously, that's what Johnson is saying. Here’s the insanity. (WATCH)

....the merging of Marxist and Islamic agendas to undermine Western values, is alive and well in Texas.

A concerted campaign has been launched, openly backed by the Conservative Party, Reform UK, the police and the courts, to create a mass fascist force in Britain, capable of being used not only against immigrants and asylum seekers but the entire working class under conditions in which class conflict is escalating. It is proceeding under the supportive political umbrella provided by the Starmer Labour government’s escalating assault on asylum seekers and refugees.

Daily Readings from the USCCBAfter Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them. Luke 4:38–39If you wanted to share some important message with a group of people, you would first need to get their attention. This could be done through a variety of means, such as through a charismatic personality, a powerfully moving story, a heroic act of virtue, or anything else that leaves...

As Phoenician sailors ventured into the waters of the western Mediterranean Sea to establish new settlements in the early first millennium b.c., they deliberately brought the familiar scents of home with them, according to a statement issued by the University of Tübingen. Researchers from the University of Tübingen and the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) recently analyzed more than 50 miniature ceramic vessels found in ancient tombs, houses, and sacred areas at a Phoenician site on the island of Motya, off the west coast of Sicily. The study determined that all had been made in southern Phoenicia, near present-day Beirut,...

Are we living through the biggest market mania ever? In this hard-hitting update, Mike Maloney lays out why he believes today’s setup outstrips 1929 and the dot-com era—and why stocks and real estate could correct together. Inside you’ll see: • The valuation dashboard (Buffett Indicator, Tobin’s Q, CAPE, P/B) and why “long-term averages” may be misleading when you add an extra century of data. • How index concentration, mega-cap cash-flow multiples, and extreme P/Es mirror late-stage bubbles. • Classic warning lights: Dow Transports diverging, insiders dumping, and a yield-curve signal with a track record before major selloffs. • Why housing...

You’ve likely seen all the buzz online about the planned attack gearing up against RFK Jr. People are circling the wagons and calling this a “coup.” But that’s not what it is. This isn’t just some political “coup” against RFK Jr.; this is a capture. What Big Pharma, Big Food, and their political operatives are pulling off right now isn’t about bruised egos or little partisan dustups. It’s about full-blown, unadulterated control. They’re not just trying to shove Kennedy out of the way and install a puppet. They’re moving to seize the levers of power that he has dared to...

An Alaska man is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider whether the government's seizure of his $95,000 plane for transporting an illicit six-pack of beer is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, filed a petition for writ of certiorari today on behalf of Ken Jouppi, an 82-year-old Alaskan bush pilot, asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether states should consider the gravity of a defendant's specific offense, rather than an abstract view of the general crime. Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2012 when state troopers searched his...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield (D) stated that if President Donald Trump is successful in his legal battle to use emergency powers to implement tariffs, then when a Democrat becomes president, “we’re going to have an emergency on climate change and maybe we’ll start putting tariffs on oil.” Rayfield said, “I wish that we could sit here and have a real, candid conversation with Republicans who support this and say, listen, we’re going to get a Democratic president in here soon, and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And...

In a bonkers, incredibly irresponsible speech given in the wake of news that hundreds of DHS agents are being deployed to his city to crack down on illegal immigration and thousands of National Guard troops could be deployed to crack down on crime, as is currently ongoing in DC, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to rise up and defend itself against President Trump. As background, the fury from Johnson began with President Trump, commenting on the situation in DC and where will be next, saying, “To me, D.C. is very exciting and a lot of people say, ‘Whoa,...

Graham Linehan is the creator of Father Ted, a truly beloved sitcom from the UK's Channel Four. But, because he is opposed to the notion that women have penises, he was forced out of TV comedy (as ruthlessly homogeneous a world as can be found) and then out of Britain itself. He returned from exile this morning only for the purposes of attending his trial, starting at Westminster Magistrates' Court this Thursday, following his previous arrest by Big Tranny's ideological enforcers at Scotland Yard. So naturally, on landing at Heathrow this morning, he was immediately arrested all over again by...

’ve sat and followed what is happening with the media in the UK with interest. One of the reasons I started Politically Inclined was due to the erosion of journalistic integrity in the main stream media. It started off with small things – politicians not being fact checked (well, let’s face it, only certain politicians), certain words being dropped (fascism, genocide, right-wing, racist) while use of other words increased (trans predators, woke, Asian grooming gangs). At the same time that legacy media started to bend the knee to what they perceived the be the rise of the right wing (and...

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is calling for a federal investigation into radical organizer Aisha Nizar, after Nizar openly encouraged Palestinian activists to intervene in the U.S. F-35 fighter jet supply chain. The so-called “People’s Conference for Palestine,” held August 29 in Detroit, brought together thousands of anti-Israel agitators, leftist groups, and pro-Hamas sympathizers under one roof. Far from a “peace” summit, the event quickly devolved into calls for sabotage, economic warfare, and even direct intervention against the United States military supply chain. According to recently released reports, radical organizers are furious that shipments of U.S.-made F-35 components are being...

WASHINGTON (7News) — D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Council Chairman Phil Mendelson on Wednesday announced a new collective bargaining agreement with the DC Fraternal Order of Police Union, including a 13% pay increase for officers, sergeants, lieutenants and above beginning Oct. 1.

These initiatives include: Expanding the MPD take-home vehicle policy by adding 100 vehicles for officers who are District residents which benefits neighborhoods by seeing a visible MPD...

North Korea’s tubby tyrant Kim Jong Un traveled to China with his own private toilet designed to protect his DNA and any clues about his health, according to Japanese and South Korean intelligence — as his aides were also spotted meticulously cleaning the room where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The secretive lavatory was located on his green armored train that took him to Beijing on Tuesday for the country’s largest-ever military parade, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. “The physical condition of the supreme leader has a major impact on the North...

Watching the circus in Chicago is appalling. Week after week people are dying in the streets. democrats seem so inured by the violence and death that it's all normal to them. The past weekend saw 54 people shot and 8 killed. To Gov. "JBeefy" Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson it's another day at the office. Pritzker, who went to the safest part of Chicago with his retinue of bodyguards to proclaim how safe the city is says "Authoritarians thrive on your silence." He adds "There's no emergency that warrants deploying troops in Chicago". To date this year 1166 people have...

Nan Palmero was at a rehearsal dinner in Mexico City’s trendy Roma Norte neighborhood, ahead of a wedding of two American friends, when he heard a “rumbling” outside. From the restaurant’s second story, Palmero described seeing a large group of people moving through the streets, some holding placards, shouting “Gringos leave.” He later learned that demonstrators smashed restaurant windows and damaged vehicles, including the new car of his friends’ wedding planner — a local resident — he said. “They wrecked her car, they smashed a window, they ripped off a mirror, they spray-painted the side of it. It was really...
