Free Republic

Proposed legislation would change the state constitution and create a redistricting commission, removing the elected members of the Texas Legislature and executive branch from the process. Filed by State Rep. Ann Johnson (D-Houston), the proposed Texas Redistricting Commission (HB 162 and HJR 27) would have nine members, eight of whom would be evenly selected by the majority and minority parties. A ninth member would be appointed by the eight and serve to break ties. The commission would have the “sole responsibility to create districts for the election of members of the United States House of Representatives, the Texas House of...

In case you are not keeping up with events on the Harvard campus, you should know that the graduate students and various other academic hangers-on at that elite institution have recently gone out “on strike.” After all, nothing screams “oppression” of the proletariat like the suffering of a Harvard graduate student. Ira Stoll has a report at the Washington Free Beacon on November 9. Excerpt: The strike by Harvard graduate students that has disrupted teaching and learning on the campus is escalating as it stretches into its third week, with a second United Auto Workers union of Harvard "academic workers"...

Franklin Graham joins Sean Hannity for a powerful discussion about the end times, the Antichrist, the mark of the beast, and whether modern technology is bringing biblical prophecy closer to reality. On Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Graham shares his beliefs about heaven and hell, the Book of Revelation, a future one-world system, and how today's technology could change the world.

Harris County is not only the home of Houston, it’s also the home of the largest illegal alien population in Texas and the second largest in the country (after Los Angeles) which is occupied by an estimated half a million illegal aliens. The county had gone from a 14% foreign population in 1990 to a 26% foreign-born population. Harris County has 1.3 million immigrants and 78.7% of its population growth came from foreign migration. During the controversial 2026 midterms, Harris County’s voter turnout shot up 7.5%, breaking its previous midterm election turnout record, and its 1,383,480 votes cast (65.6% for...

Ninety minutes. That was the length of the United Nations webinar I participated in last week. For ninety minutes, I listened to people discuss how to better expand abortion around the world. Not once did I hear the kind of urgency one might expect when discussing women living in some of the poorest, most medically neglected regions of the world. No serious discussion of the woman hemorrhaging in a village without electricity. No anguished concern for the frightened teenager facing complications miles from the nearest hospital. Instead, I heard about “indicators, implementation strategies, reporting systems, and expanded access.” And how...

Microsoft Office will not load off of the internet. This is becoming a big deal.

Recently, the Department of Health and Human Services announced a new rule, scheduled to go into effect November 18, that will change the organ donation process. According to HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy: [W]e are holding failing organizations accountable, strengthening patient safeguards, and helping high-performing organizations reach more patients. We will honor donors’ gifts by demanding results. Tens of thousands of organ donation operations happen each year in the United States, for everything from hearts to kidneys to corneas. Before this rule change, a clear line had been drawn between the two teams of doctors involved in organ donation. Doctors working...

"By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith" (Heb. 11:7). True faith works. When James said, "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:26), he stated a principle that's consistent throughout Scripture: True faith always produces righteous works. The people described in Hebrews 11 made their genuine faith known in the things they did. The same applies to us today. Paul said, "The grace of God has appeared,...

On Sunday, November 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 (N722BD) flying from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas fell from 35,000 feet inside a thunderstorm over South Florida and crashed near Greenacres in Palm Beach County. All nine people on board were killed. Seventeen other jets were in the same stormy sky above 25,000 feet that afternoon, and all of them landed. Under our last video, many of you said the others simply went around the storm. We checked every one on the real NEXRAD weather radar: most came close to the same storms, and two flew straight through...

This week: Pinochet

Canadian Christian apologist Wesley Huff has admitted to “problematic work” and not properly citing others’ ideas in an academic paper he wrote as a seminary student in 2016. But he also accused the biblical scholar who called him out for plagiarizing a Florida pastor of having an “agenda.” The matter has caused a stir online about what defines plagiarism and when it occurs. Some said Huff, vice president of Apologetics Canada, has also plagiarized other authors. On Nov. 10, Huff told his one million YouTube subscribers that he regrets his early attempts at academic research. “If you want to cancel...

In October 2024, a woman entered the emergency room in North Texas. She was presenting with extreme fatigue, pain, and heavy bleeding. Just two days prior, she had an ultrasound confirming a viable pregnancy with a heartbeat. She was happy to hear about her prenatal child’s health. But in the emergency room, doctors told her that she was going through an inevitable miscarriage. A police investigation revealed that the father of the woman’s child was Justin Anthony Banta. He pleaded with her to get an abortion, which she refused. Afterwards, he invited her to a coffee shop where he offered...

The world’s fertility crisis is more severe than is commonly understood. Last year, humanity’s total fertility level dropped below what demographers call the replacement rate—that is, the average number of children that a woman must have to keep a population constant over the long run. This has never happened before. There have been periods when the human population declined because of wars or epidemics, such as the Black Death, in the fourteenth century, or the diseases brought by Europeans to the Americas in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But now, simply as a function of their choices, humans will see...

Reflection Date: November 11, 2026 | Memorial of Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop Daily Readings: Titus 3:1-7; Luke 17:11-19 Children of God: November 11 is the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours, France. He was born around the year 316 in what is now Hungary, and he grew up in a family connected to the Roman military. As a young soldier serving in Gaul, present-day France, he encountered a poor man shivering in the cold and shared his military cloak with him by cutting it in half. According to tradition, Martin later dreamed of Christ wearing the portion of...

Just DAYS after Democrats WON, this BOMBSHELL DROPS. 🤔 Are Democrats looking to SEIZE the A.I. CHIP MARKET?

Vivek Ramaswamy, once a prominent MAGA voice with a large online following, has gone silent and off social media after losing the Ohio governor’s race to Democrat Amy Acton by nearly eight points. Following the defeat, Ramaswamy appears to have left both the state and country, signaling a humiliating retreat for the Trump-backed candidate. Ramaswamy’s Online Silence and Flight Known for his frequent and fervent online presence, especially on X where he amassed 3.5 million followers, Ramaswamy has now deactivated active management of his accounts. His profile bios on X and Instagram carry the disclaimer: “Account is not actively managed.”...
