Free Republic

Democrats sound like pull-string talkie dolls as they line up to tremble their lower lips and cry about what Awful Orange Man is doing to their beloved Attorney General Letitia James. It only took about five minutes after the announcement of her federal mortgage-fraud indictment for Dems near and far to wring their handkerchiefs about the injustice of it all. “No one should be surprised that Donald Trump is employing fascist tactics,” fretted mayoral wannabe Zohran Mamdani. “Prosecuting his opponents, weaponizing the federal government, and attacking the very fabric of our democracy.” “Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish...

Democrat Muslims-Socialists-Marxists-Communists can’t win a debate or answer specific questions when confronted with facts that challenge their anti-American, anti-Constitutional Republic, or Electoral College. In order to keep the public ignorant of their tyrannical agenda of serfdom, they are forced to sidestep and avert direct answers by using the “Alinsky Rules for Radicals” playbook of deception with the diversion tactics of evade, avoid and deflect. They start with evading a specific debate response, as they cannot afford to provide a cohesive pertinent relevant answer, so they obfuscate with off topic comments, a ploy to distract from revealing their totalitarian agenda to...

Don Lemon was left humiliated during a cringeworthy street interview after he incorrectly claimed it is not a crime to cross the border illegally. The former CNN host was given a lesson in the law by a legal Mexican migrant in Chicago who he stopped to interview about the immigration crisis. During the discussion, the woman rhetorically asked Lemon whether it was illegal to come to the US without proper documentation.

Daily Readings from the USCCBAs Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” Luke 17:11–13This story begins very well for all ten of these lepers. For nine of them, it ends tragically. For one, it ends in an even better and more glorious way than it began. The lepers represent us all. Their illness was a symbol of all sin and the consequences of sin. When the disease...

MINEOLA, New York (WABC) -- The Nassau County District Attorney's Office has charged a group of seven people, including DMV employees, on Thursday in an alleged driver's license cheating scheme on Long Island. Deciding who gets to operate heavy rigs on the roads and highways is not something the New York Department of Motor Vehicles takes lightly. "Bypassing that safeguard is far from a harmless shortcut, it is a dangerous threat to public safety," said New York Inspector General Lucy Lang during a Thursday morning press conference. But that's what prosecutors in Nassau County are alleging in a new 51-count...

A detailed analysis of the Jan. 6 pipe bombs found new problems with the FBI evidence and advances the notion that the case could turn out to be a government-created hoax. A video engineer who spent more than a year examining the pipe bomb evidence submitted a 26-page report to the House Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding Jan. 6. Known on social media as Armitas, the analyst was asked on Oct. 4 to submit his report by the legal counsel for the House Committee on the Judiciary. Armitas said he has been working with a Washington-based FBI...

Jay Jones’s vile texts expose more than personal depravity—they reveal the left’s deeper creed: that pain, not principle, is the true engine of political change. Over the last week or so, observers—mostly on the right—have made a great deal of noise about the musings of Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for Attorney General in Virginia. Jones, as I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you, openly and enthusiastically discussed killing a political opponent—the former Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates—and, more disturbingly, hoped this opponent’s children would die so that he could watch their mother suffer as she...

Take a close look at this photograph — it captures the exact moment when alleged hippie rioter Haley Macintyre finally learns, at age 24, that even a pampered Beautiful Person with a fashionable neck tattoo can still suffer adverse consequences for a violent, unprovoked assault on working people. Even in Massachusetts. As the picture was taken, in Boston Municipal Court, the judge had just slapped a $7,500 bail on Little Miss Muffet for her sinister role in fomenting that far-left riot that left four Boston cops hospitalized. Seventy-five hundred bucks? Do you know how many cool neck tattoos Haley could...

House GOP leaders are facing increasing pressure to bring the chamber back to Washington amid a shutdown fight with no end in sight. A growing number of GOP lawmakers are voicing frustrations with their leadership for prolonging the House recess, warning that the optics surrounding that inactivity could backfire on the party to the benefit of Democrats. The rumbling is creating a headache for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team, who have made canceling votes a central part of the Republicans’ shutdown strategy. In doing so, they’re betting that an empty House will pile pressure on Senate Democrats...

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man and two women from the Houston area have been arrested after the Texas Department of Public Safety says they stole $300,000 from Target stores in multiple states. The thefts took place from February 2024 to September 2025, according to court documents. Bernard Lane, the man prosecutors refer to as the ringleader of the group, has been charged 70 times in Harris County for things like evading arrest, assault, and DWI. By 2024, he'd been convicted three dozen times. And yet that same year, when he was arrested for allegedly choking and threatening to kill...

See if you can spot everything WRONG with this pic of a Shenandoah Democrats Spanberger rally pic.

As of 1 October 2025, companies can no longer offer multi-buy deals on items including cakes, biscuits, crisps and savoury snacks, confectionery and soft drinks if they are assessed to be high in fat, salt and/or sugar (HFSS). The Children's Food Campaign has been campaigning on junk food promotions and marketing for over 20 years. An original consultation took place during 2018 as part of the previous government's Child Obesity action, and legislation was finally passed in Parliament in December 2021. It was meant to come into force by 1 October 2023, but industry lobbying then pressurised the government into...

The sudden closure of one of the country's very first Whole Foods stores has rocked the upscale Bay Area town of Mill Valley. Residents say Amazon has abandoned the beloved neighborhood staple that defined their community for more than three decades and are furious despite there being another store a mile away. The California store first opened in 1992 and became a local institution where the town's 14,000 residents caught up in the aisles and kids grabbed snacks after school. But after a rodent infestation and roof repairs forced a temporary shutdown over the summer, locals expected the market to...

Over at last few years, people on the left have taken exception to the mission of Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Our leftist university campuses in particular have criticized the TPUSA mission, since it advocates conservative and religious values. Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of the organization, attempts to ban the organization have grown exponentially. And if they oppose the plans of TPUSA, they have good reason to be worried about maintaining their leftist agenda: Since [Kirk’s] death, interest in Turning Point USA, the organization he co-founded has grown exponentially. “In the past 2 weeks, TPUSA has received...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Troops patrol train stations and streets in the nation’s capital. Masked federal law enforcement agents detain District of Columbia residents. Congress passes bills that further squeeze the city’s autonomy. And the one person who could act as a voice for Washington on Capitol Hill has been a rare sight. Even longtime allies say Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton, the district’s nonvoting delegate in the House, has not risen to the challenge of pushing back against the Trump administration’s intervention into her city. They cite her age, 88, and her diminished demeanor. That has raised questions about the 18-term...

Even as Democrats seemed inexorably headed toward a government shutdown rather than accepting the Continuing Resolution, the big question was whether Trump would use a shutdown to shrink the federal government. That question continued as Democrats were obdurate in their refusal to negotiate any compromises on their plans for healthcare for illegal aliens and to provide services for transexuals at home and abroad. While some federal programs must wait for funding until the shutdown ends, other programs can be canceled when the money runs out, or, at the very least, their employees can be permanently fired. Democrats assumed that Trump...

Women and girls over the age of 12 have been banned by a mosque from taking part in a charity fun run, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The 5km event being held in an East London park today – which has been billed as 'inclusive' and 'family-friendly' – is open to men and boys of all ages, but organisers insist that female teenagers and women can be forbidden from joining in. The fundraiser, called Muslim Charity Run and organised by East London Mosque, is being held in Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday the Department of Defense is forming a new counternarcotics joint task force in order to “crush” drug cartels in the Caribbean Sea. Hegseth said the new task force, established at the direction of President Trump, will operate in the U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) area of responsibility. “At the President’s direction, the Department of War is establishing a new counter-narcotics Joint Task Force in the @SOUTHCOM area of responsibility to crush the cartels, stop the poison and keep America safe,” Hegseth said in a post on the social platform X. “The message is clear: if...
