Free Republic

Republicans wonder why they keep losing. Even when they win, the country still drifts left. Despite a few brief interruptions such as Reagan and Trump, the broad undercurrent is clear. This drift has happened over decades, quickly or slowly, even though conservative Americans (not necessarily their leaders) are competent, moral, in touch with reality, and ultimately right on the big issues—at least in theory, and at least compared with their opponents. But why? One brief answer: evil has evolved. Good hasn’t evolved—at least, not as quickly, and not as much—yet. To restate this more clearly: Republicans are fighting an asymmetric...

There’s a new fad unfolding on social media, where liberal women hop online, usually dressed in Muslim garb, and celebrate converting to Islam. But they’re not just celebrating in the traditional Muslim sense. They’re online trying to convince everybody that Islam is the new “feminist” religion, empowering women all over the world.Yes, really.We’re talking about young liberal women who’ve grown up enjoying freedoms that women in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North Africa can only dream of, suddenly cosplaying, and dressing up for TikTok and explaining how “empowering” it is to embrace a religion that comes with some pretty horrific...

US intelligence believes that Iran has some 1,500-2,500 ballistic missiles, officials told The Wall Street Journal according to a Saturday report, which was published hours before Iran carried out a drone attack targeting a US base in the Gulf.The officials told the US outlet that the missile figure was a “low-confidence assessment” given the difficulties in tracking Tehran’s munitions, but that it was clear that the regime still possessed a large number of missiles. The Journal reported that the apparent size of Iran’s arsenal has impacted the decision-making process within US President Donald Trump’s administration as to whether the Islamic...

One of the biggest stories of the week was the (forced?) resignation of Jensen Huang, a giant of the artificial intelligence industry, based on nothing more than unsubstantiated allegations. This right after Professor David M. Sabatini won his lawsuit proving that his career at MIT was ended by false claims and institutional dastardliness. You’d think that people in positions of corporate leadership would take time to weigh the evidence instead of acting like lynch mobs. What, in sum, is Nvidia’s product? Why are Huang and Nvidia of national importance? And who and what motivates this mob? NvidiaThe company supplies graphics...

Top Connecticut Democrats accused President Trump on Friday of trying to rig the 2030 census. Gov. Ned Lamont, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) appeared with advocacy groups to warn that the administration’s new counting rules would leave roughly 250,000 state residents out of the tally used to divvy up U.S. House seats and federal funding. "The 250,000 estimate appears to reflect the state’s non-citizen population that would fall outside the new apportionment base," the Connecticut Centinal writes. Huh. What a coincidence. DeLauro, in particular, did not hold back, practically setting her peacock-purple plumage on fire. And...

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government is working to assist migrant caravans trekking through Mexico, as another caravan is expected to start in Honduras on Sunday. During her morning news conference, Sheinbaum announced that the current caravan that was trekking through Mexico had largely dissolved, with most migrants returning to the southern states of her country. “Over the past two years, nearly ten or more such caravans have arrived,” Sheinbaum said. “While they are part of the caravan, arrangements are made to ensure they receive the minimum attention required regarding their human rights. There is a great deal of...

A 47-foot yacht named “The Rogue Shark” and more than $1 million in cash now belong to the federal government after a Tarpon Springs man admitted to running a massive $42 million health care and pandemic loan scam. Chad Monroe, 48, stood in federal court today and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud. Prosecutors laid out how Monroe built a network of shell companies to bill Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, and TRICARE for millions of dollars in medical braces and cancer genetic tests that patients never asked for and didn’t need. The operation relied...

Is Your Teenager Secretly A Libertarian? 9 Warning Signs To Look For

"By faith Noah . . . condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith" (Heb 11:7). Your actions and words should rebuke our godless society. Genesis 6:5 says, "The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." Before moving in judgment against the most evil and corrupt society in history, God appointed Noah to build an ark, which became a symbol of life and salvation to all who believed God. For those who disbelieved, it...

In early 2025, as Donald Trump’s second term began, Pete Buttigieg met with two members of conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s family. The former and likely future presidential candidate had earned the nickname “Slayer Pete” for his virtuosic runs through the Fox News gauntlet, the Murdoch-controlled cable network that helped shape a generation of the American Right. This time, however, Buttigieg was meeting the Murdochs not as adversaries but as potential allies. James Murdoch, a former News Corp. and 21st Century Fox executive now estranged from his father, Rupert, and the empire he built, was about to spend some of...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThirty-third Sunday in Ordinary TimeJesus told his disciples this parable: “A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one—to each according to his ability. Then he went away.” Matthew 25:14–15Today’s parable comes from Jesus’ eschatological discourse (Matthew 24–25), delivered near the end of His public ministry. It speaks of the Final Judgment and calls us to vigilance, fidelity, and spiritual fruitfulness as we await the return of our Divine Master. This eschatological reminder of God’s Final...

Israel's participation in Morocco's Marrakesh air show in 2023 was notable, especially amid international restrictions...

Leo XIV’s Hospice Care for the Church: What the Martyrs Would Say Blessed John Forest went to his death rather than compromise the Catholic Faith. Today, as Leo XIV promotes religious dialogue and mutual understanding, Catholics are left asking: Has the Church forgotten the very certainty for which its martyrs died? Archbishop Lefebvre saw this crisis coming. His warning deserves to be heard again.One of the many inspirational passages from Henry Sebastian Bowden’s Mementoes of the English Martyrs and Confessors comes from Blessed John Forest’s letter to Catherine of Aragon:“When I read your letter, I was filled with incredible joy...

A South Florida man was arrested after police said he deliberately mailed a greeting card smeared with peanut butter to a woman with a severe peanut allergy, allegedly putting her life at risk.
