Free Republic

“That is, unfortunately, the cancer known as white supremacy,” said the Texas congresswoman after learning about Kirk’s comments about her and the Democratic Party. A month before his shooting death, conservative activist Charlie Kirk attacked U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, blaming her and Democrats for being part of a “sinister” plan to replace white people in America. While discussing the issue of redistricting congressional maps, which played out dramatically in Texas last month, Kirk said on his Aug. 4 podcast show, “The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project.” “That is at the core...

Exerpt: " It just left me feeling like, so, kinda broken. I don't even know what part of me feels kinda broken...I don't know exactly why it feels like it affected me so much...There's something about it that's left me scared first of all...And that's kind of, I think that's what it was, it's just like, that's supposed to be something that's kind of safe, to be able to have a voice, to say something whether people may agree with it or not....I didn't know Charlie..I didn't know a lot of his stuff but I did admire that he was...

Democrats on Capitol Hill are fuming after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel over comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and are accusing Republicans of backing censorship and trampling on the First Amendment.

Things haven't been going well for Democrats in recent months. President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in a landslide and he was given, by voters, GOP majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. Those "leading" the Democrat Party are aging seriously. New blood is tainted with extremism, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom's radicalism that doesn't even earn the appreciation of all Democrats, much less a cross-section of all voters. Trump Derangement Syndrome is at the pandemic level. Fundraising is off, and the issues all have lined up against them. Under Trump inflation is declining, jobs are working toward a...

The study offers rare long-term evidence that...

At a Dearborn City Council meeting last week, Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud told local resident Edward "Ted" Barham, a Christian, that he was "not welcome" in the city after Barham raised concerns about new street signs honoring Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani. FOX 2 Detroit reported that the signs honoring Siblani were placed at intersections on Warren Avenue by Wayne County, not the City of Dearborn. But the mayor escalated the debate, telling Barham, "Although you live here, you are not welcome here." Barham introduced himself as "Ted Barham, Dearborn resident," and objected to two intersections being renamed after...

What happens a year from now when immigration officials start focusing on deporting families that have lived and worked illegally for perhaps a decade or more? After hearing these sob stories the average independent-minded American will start siding with the Democrats. With this as a backdrop, Republicans must be prepared to counter this narrative during the run-up to the mid-terms in 2026 and 2028.

Nothing to see here, just one of the most popular members of the Democratic caucus slandering a recently assassinated Republican from a pulpit. Yes, this really happened. VIDEOS AT LINK............ I do believe those of you who are interested in rewriting this hateful man's history are full of s---! Omar was at Elim Lutheran Church in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, for a town hall on Saturday. She was responding to a man who pointing out that Kirk was all about civil discourse. Here's the broader context: "Rewriting history" for Omar means debunking fake quotes from Charlie Kirk or putting other quotes of...

Low on the horizon in the Texas Panhandle, a faint pink aurora shimmered against a backdrop of thick storm clouds and distant flashes of lightning — a surreal collision of sky and space. Just east of Amarillo, weather videographer and storm chaser Blake Brown captured the rare combination in a single frame: aurora, stars, distant lightning, and a windmill silhouetted in the foreground under a mostly clear sky. "What a spectacular night it was last night," Brown posted on social media Monday, alongside his surreal image. "The northern lights decided to make a little appearance down here in the Texas...

Disney’s crumbling empire just hit another disaster, this time thanks to late-night clown Jimmy Kimmel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney’s top brass, CEO Bob Iger and co-chair Dana Walden, made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the disgraced host refused to apologize for falsely pinning the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on Trump supporters. Instead of showing an ounce of humility, Kimmel doubled down and prepared a fiery, anti-MAGA tirade that executives feared would “fan the flames.” ABC insiders revealed that affiliate owners and advertisers were in open revolt. By Wednesday, 66 of the 200 affiliate stations...

By Paul Sperry RealClearInvestigations: Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia. Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating false and inflammatory leaks during President Trump’s first term. Much of their reporting has been debunked –...

We often hear that the world of Southern barbecue moves slowly, sticking stubbornly to its time-worn traditions. That may have been the case a few decades ago, but here in 2025 tastes and trends seem to be shifting at a faster and faster pace. It’s been just two years since we released Southern Living’s last list of the Top 50 BBQ Joints in the South, but this year’s rankings look quite different than they did in 2023. The economics of barbecue are increasingly challenging, and the past few years have seen a half dozen former Top 50 restaurants close their...

The Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, opened an investigation into the autopen scandal and subpoenaed several Biden aides for documents and testimony. Ex-Biden aide Jeff Zeints dropped bombshells during his testimony to the Oversight Committee on Thursday. Over the summer, the New York Times reported that former White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints actually approved pardons for Dr. Fauci and others on January 19: At the Jan. 19 meeting, which took place in the Yellow Oval Room of the White House residence, Mr. Biden kept his aides until nearly 10 p.m. to talk through such decisions, according to...

A dramatic increase in foreclosure filings is the latest bad news for the US housing market, with one state particularly hard hit. In August there were a total of 35,697 properties in the US with foreclosure filings, according to a report by ATTOM. This represents a 1 percent decrease from the previous month, but an 18 percent increase compared to 2924. August was the sixth consecutive month of year-on-year increases in foreclosures and the third month straight with double-digit annual growth. Nevada was worst affected last month, with a foreclosure filing for one in every 2,069 housing units. Foreclosure is...

The Obama library — which isn't a library — has ballooned to a construction cost of more than $615 million, up from the original estimate of $300 million when the edifice was proposed in 2019. As 2024, the estimate had soared to $615 million, with the cost adding up to a whopping $615,674,047. But according to the Chicago Tribune, other estimates have already placed construction costs past the $700 million mark. Along with these massive cost overruns, the Barack Obama Presidential Center has had a very troubled history already, and it hasn’t even been completed yet. Originally, the Obama Center...
