Free Republic

(The inspiration for posting this information today came by way of Daniel Greenfield: Canada's Euthanasia Kills 96% White People)The money quote, the grand "G" word:Once you start giving people free health care, it's hard to stop them from making use of it unless you also use the same system to kill them.It's a good day to out the name of the guilty party because it's all in there --the bad news buffet and the "unlimited" free socialist manna that kills people en masse. Overwhelmed and demoralized, the abused and abandoned lose hope. And right on cue, along comes the system...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made a joint statement this evening following a trilateral meeting in Jerusalem. Prime Minister Netanyahu began: "This is not our first meeting. It's our tenth meeting. But I said in our discussions that I think it's the most consequential. The last time the three of us met was a short time before the October 7th massacre, before terror once again reminded us that stability in this region is never guaranteed, and that strength, clarity and cooperation are not options. They are a must." "The Middle...

Forget, ‘no good deed goes unpunished’. More accurately, no corporate wokeness goes unpunished by those taking advantage of it. Affirmative action is one of the worst examples as companies set themselves up for lawsuits like this through their illegal and immoral pursuit of diversity. A group of 18 former student pilots sued Fort Worth-based American Airlines this week, alleging the company misled them and racially discriminated against them while they were enrolled in a flight training program. The federal lawsuit, filed Tuesday in a federal court in San Diego by a group of plaintiffs who identify as Black, Asian or...

A federal jury has acquitted a South L.A. man who was charged with stealing government property by towing an immigration agent’s vehicle during the arrest of a TikTok influencer in downtown Los Angeles earlier this year. Bobby Nunez was arrested Sept. 2 after he was accused of interfering with the detainment of Tatiana Mafla-Martinez while she live-streamed her Aug. 15 arrest. Video of the incident showed an SUV being towed away from the parking garage of the Da Vinci Apartments, where Martinez is being pinned to the ground by agents. The SUV was one of two vehicles being used to...

I've been looking for one particular caricature of Buckley that evidently was not as popular as I thought. Can't find it and looked and looked. It is not the usual ones that come up but was very well done. Probably came out years ago, but I don't know when, where or who did it. Hoping someone here can find it.

The Department of Homeland Security is running an end-of-year Christmas special to further incentivize illegal aliens to self-deport. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the department will be tripling the cash incentives from $1,000 to $3,000, urging illegal aliens to leave the country on their own. Illegal aliens who choose to self-deport through the CBP Home App will receive this bonus through the end of the year and may be eligible to re-enter the country legally in the future. 'Raise your hand! We'll help you get home.' The Department of Homeland Security is running an end-of-year Christmas special to further...

In July 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported on testimony given in a federal complaint that was filed by Kari Lake and Mark Finchem in the US District Court in Arizona. The complaint was a civil rights action for declaratory and injunctive relief to prohibit the use of electronic voting machines in the State of Arizona ahead of the 2022 Midterm Elections. That complaint included testimony from a former Voting System Testing Labs contractor by the name of Clay Parikh. Parikh would go on to discover the 19-inch ballot printing error that plagued the Maricopa County 2022 midterm elections, causing massive...

Waymo, the operator of driverless ride-hailing vehicles, was also impacted by the massive power outage in San Francisco. Numerous people reported on social media seeing the autonomous cars sitting at intersections, apparently confused because the traffic lights were out. On Saturday night, the Mountain View-based company shared on its app that it has paused service. As of 6 p.m. on Sunday, Waymo service has been restored.

Ethan Hawke called celebrity a “poison” for a young actor’s brain. The actor, 55, sat down for “The Joe Rogan Experience” to talk about his start in Hollywood as a young man, as well as to reflect on the psychological effect of becoming famous at a young age. “I think celebrity is like a tiny drop of mercury. Or it’s poison. It’s poison for your brain,” the actor said.

As part of its celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life has published my Provocation, “Government by the Unelected: How it Happened, and How it Might be Tamed.” This full-length essay seeks to assess how the Founders’ principles have fared after 250 years. I argue that government by the consent of the governed has gradually diminished—especially in the 20th and 21st centuries—and has been substantially replaced by the government of a permanent, unelected, and allegedly expert class. The fuller work traces the history of this development, pointing both to...

Erik Conover racked up nearly three million YouTube subscribers by showcasing mansions, posting fancy travel vlogs, and sharing “lifestyle content” on how to survive in expensive places like New York City. But his next home will not be so luxurious: state prison. That’s where Conover is headed for four to 10 years, after he pleaded guilty on Friday to two felony charges, first-degree assault and reckless conduct. His plea was made after he led New Hampshire cops on an eight mile chase in March, at one plowing into an officer who tried to arrest him and then starting a second...

The Department of Justice is closing a Democrat-created bureaucratic loophole that has allowed legal and illegal migrants to get a huge quantity of taxpayer aid since 1997, despite a 1996 law limiting aid to citizens. The loophole was created by President Bill Clinton’s administration after Congress passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), which was intended to “strengthen… the principle that [legal and illegal] immigrants come to America to work, not to collect welfare benefits.” “We now retract that [1997] opinion and offer the best reading of the phrase ‘Federal means-tested public benefit,'” President Donald...

A trans woman who copped to slaughtering her parents tried to skip out on her sentencing in a Utah court because it would be too tough on her — as she revealed that she has converted to Islam, and made an excuse for the cold-blooded murders on Friday. “If only I had gotten help this would have been preventable,” said Mia Bailey’s lawyer — reading a statement she wrote. Bailey, 30, was handed a sentence of 25 years to life in prison on Friday, after the court heard emotional testimony from both her brothers, who say they fear for their...

Jane Slater is one of the top Cowboys reporters — and now she’s clearing up some fake news about herself. The 45-year-old NFL Network reporter, who primarily covers the Cowboys, responded on Sunday to a bogus report that claimed she had been killed in a “tragic domestic violence incident.” “I don’t think so? But does this mean there is glitch in the matrix? I’m gonna wrap myself in bubble wrap until NYE,” Slater said responding to a fan who asked if she was still alive while linking to the report.

A post from Customs and Border Protection featuring a snarling, dried primate corpse removed from a traveler’s luggage has sparked renewed scrutiny over illegal bushmeat smuggling into major U.S. airports. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Chicago said agriculture specialists at O’Hare International Airport seized prohibited food items from a passenger arriving from the Congo, including what the agency described as nonhuman primate meat, after a post by the agency’s Chicago office drew more than one million views within 24 hours on X. “A passenger from Congo believed the food they were bringing was fine; it was not.
