MAGA: “Make America Great Again.” That was U.S. President Donald Trump’s promise to the American people. Elect him, and the country would recover its mojo and return to a golden age of internal harmony, economic vitality, domestic sovereignty, and global influence. It was a seductive vision, especially for those Americans who had been buffeted by globalization and believed that immigrants and “globalists” were undermining the country from within. As Trump’s second term nears the midway point, there can be little doubt that he is one of the most consequential presidents in U.S. history. Unfortunately, almost all the consequences of his...

Throughout the past decade, the Christian community across the Middle East has been targeted by hatred, terrorism, and overall persecution. This has resulted in a massive decrease in the Christian population throughout the Middle East, which today constitutes 3% of the region’s population, compared to constituting around 14% in 1900. In Israel, the opposite trend is seen. In 2025, Christians in Israel accounted for 1.9% of the country’s population, and the population had increased by 0.7% from 2023 to 2024. Yet when it comes to the international media, stories of Christian hatred in Israel are more frequently the aspects of...

Microsoft's purchase of Nokia's Devices and Services unit broke down to about $4.4 billion, while a patent license came in at around $1.9 billion, according to reporting by NBC News at the time. The deal included the transfer of about 32,000 Nokia employees to Microsoft, as well. Unfortunately, Microsoft's purchase didn't really pan out for the company. It wrote off $7.6 billion related to the acquisition in 2015, according to TechCrunch, admitting defeat within a year. Nokia, though, kept its name, its patents, and its network infrastructure business (the bit that keeps making money today), while it handed off the...

The Trump Justice Department is preparing to flood polling places across America with a record 1,000 federal monitors for the November midterm elections, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon announced this week. Dhillon told Bloomberg the deployment will be “probably going to be a historic number for a Republican administration.” The Civil Rights Division has long sent monitors to ensure compliance with federal voting laws, but the scale under President Trump’s second term marks a sharp escalation in the fight for clean elections. “We just did it in the primary. We will do it to the...

Can anyone tell me why "Breaking News (News Activism)" which I have on my sidebar mostly has "Sunday Morning Talk Show Threads" listed. Is there some secret religious thing I'm missing? I ask because it's annoying no breaking news is posted there, it's always bothered me, but now even more so because someone I know recently said to me, "There's no breaking news on FreeRepublic.

Mike Jernigan said Tuesday, arguing that the pressure could push Tehran toward an “end game.” “Iranians are running out of assets and options,” Jernigan said on “America Reports.” “The economy before this all started was ranked either 23rd or 52nd, depending on the measure,” he said. “They're behind Nigeria and Bangladesh. Bangladesh, known for cyclones and mudslides, had a stronger economy than Iran did before all this started.” “They are struggling with the economic consequences, and so I think this is moving toward...
