Free Republic

Everybody who wants to gobble popcorn while watching exciting POTUS primary races in 2028 is going to be disappointed, at least in terms of the final outcome. We know how this story ends, but what leads up to it may be hilarious, particularly on the Democrat side. Every weirdo, loser, and mutation in their party intends to try to get the nod, knowing that the fix is already in; it’s just going to be a chance for folks like Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Pete Buttigieg to try to raise their profiles or maybe get picked to be VP....

Bernie Sanders served on the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s board for 18 years but hasn’t attended a single meeting. They only have two meetings per year and he missed all 36 of them. It was a bipartisan effort to remove him. Shameful, lazy socialist.

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Zohran Mamdani and AOC just put out a video promoting FREE DAYCARE for illegal aliens... completely in Spanish. Democrats are taking Americans' money and spending it on foreign invaders. https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2026397322079273221

The group of radical female congresswomen who call themselves “the Squad” was supposed to be a triumph for feminism, but behind the scenes they serve as meal tickets for very shady men. The latest scandal involving the “Squad Husbands” was the dead body of a teenage girl turning up in a house owned by Conan Harris: the husband of Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley. Yoseliani “Liani” Marte, 18, was found shot and killed in a Boston home owned by Harris, who was already in the middle of a scandal over his company scoring a $2 billion contract to build a...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., came under fire after claiming the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would "merge parts of our military with the Israel Defense Forces," drawing accusations that she distorted what the legislation actually does. The fight centers on Section 219 of the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act, a provision that calls for deeper U.S.-Israel defense integration through expanded cooperation on military technology, supply chains, research, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and joint exercises. On Wednesday, the House passed its version of the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act in a 219-206 vote, leaving Section 219 intact. But ahead of the...

Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has surged to the front of the prospective 2028 Democratic presidential field in New Hampshire, edging Pete Buttigieg and leaving Kamala Harris far behind in a new poll. Ocasio-Cortez drew 22% support among likely Democratic primary voters in the University of New Hampshire Granite State Poll released Wednesday, one point ahead of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and 17 points ahead of former Vice President Kamala Harris. Ocasio-Cortez gained seven points since the February survey, while Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom lost ground — another sign of the New York lawmaker’s growing strength among...

US House of Representatives passes a $1.15T defense bill with provision deepening Pentagon-Israel weapons tech cooperation and funding $750M for joint defense programs.

In the summer of 2018, almost no one thought Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could beat Joe Crowley. Crowley was a 10-term incumbent, the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, a man some thought would one day be speaker. A 28-year-old former bartender and democratic socialist was the longest of long shots to succeed him. But ever since she did, the political establishment has been trying to decide whether to take her seriously.For a while it decided not to. The Missouri representative Emanuel Cleaver said the Democratic caucus did not need her “sniping”, while the then senator Claire McCaskill dismissed her as a “bright...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was accused of putting on an accent during a Memphis rally last week, with critics on social media comparing her to former Vice President Kamala Harris. Ocasio-Cortez was speaking at a campaign rally in Memphis on Friday for progressive U.S. House candidate Justin Pearson, who currently serves as a Tennessee state representative. "We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind," she said. "We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind. There is no country where we are split apart." "About a month or two ago, we were in Montgomery,...

There’s a battle to shape the Democratic Party this fall, and two top Senate Democrats are taking different paths in their bids to put their mark on the process. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the duel for the Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan. It’s a break from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who is backing Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich. The diverging endorsements are emblematic of the fight going on behind the scenes and publicly in the Democratic Party as the old guard fights to stand its ground, while a progressive surge threatens to completely overtake the...

By now, we have all seen the evidence that the socialist uprising happening in the Democratic Party is fueled mainly by highly educated White voters, and on Saturday, I saw even more evidence of it at a Detroit rally for Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. It was whiter than a toothpaste ad. Scanning the hundred or so people in line for the event that featured Marxist superstars Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., I saw fewer Black people than you could find at Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s restricted beach club in Rhode Island. Outside of the Opera House where...

Two appearances by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this week have reignited criticism from conservatives as speculation continues over whether the New York Democrat could eventually seek the White House. The back-to-back moments quickly spread across social media, with critics questioning both her campaign style and her response to a question about the U.S. Senate. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., first drew attention while campaigning in Tennessee for Democratic state Rep. Justin Pearson, who is running for Congress in the state’s 9th District. Speaking at a get-out-the-vote event, Ocasio-Cortez urged supporters not to overlook traditionally Republican states. “We can’t afford to leave Tennessee behind, Kentucky...

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed — who has questioned whether police officers need to carry guns — spent years on the campaign trail protected by an armed guard, according to his former security director. El-Sayed, who has been endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the Democratic primary, has faced renewed scrutiny after a 2020 University of Michigan video resurfaced showing him questioning police funding and the need for armed officers. During his Senate campaign, however, he has said he does not support defunding police. “Do people really need to use guns? Do we need as much of a police...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued Tuesday that television networks have an “ethical obligation” not to air President Trump’s upcoming address to the nation if it’s not “rooted in evidence and fact.” “I don’t think we should be contributing to any platforming of lies about our election,” the lefty “Squad” lawmaker told a reporter on Capitol Hill. Ocasio-Cortez suggested media outlets should review Trump’s remarks before deciding whether to put the speech on the air. “Many news outlets, oftentimes, may receive transcripts, and I think we have an ethical obligation to not air things that undermine our election that are not...

Morris Katz, the supposed wunderkind behind New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is also the campaign strategist for Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner. At present, Katz has failed to live up to his title. Instead, he is doing cleanup on Aisle 7 because he refused to strategize in order to get ahead of the self-inflicted landmines that have blown up all around his candidate. As RedState reported, the latest scandal involves Platner sexting with at least 12 women soon after he was married, and doing this through an app that has known associations with pedophilia and sex trafficking. hese...

A top adviser to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushed hard for Maine Democrat Graham Platner in the 2026 Senate race with an eye on a Democratic presidential ticket by 2032, sources told The Post. Morris Katz hyped up Platner as a Bernie Sanders successor who could captivate the progressive base of the Democratic Party — much better than Squad darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who he saw as a losing nominee, two Democratic sources revealed. One reason Katz favored Platner’s chances over AOC was that he’s a man, sources said. Katz had worked for around 10 months with...

Tlaib, Concerned that their Party's shift toward socialism might not appeal to normal Americans, ten members of the US House of Representatives and three candidates aspiring to win seats in the House have signed a "Promise to America Pledge." The Pledge includes a call for "an economy that rewards hard work, lowers costs, and expands opportunity, secure borders, orderly immigration, safe communities, competent government, free speech, and pride in America." Democratic socialist firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) scoffed at the pledge, calling it "a surrender to the MAGA Republican agenda. Real Democrats want an economy that guarantees a living...

Communist radicals are mobilizing to sweep elections in 2028. Here’s what Republicans need to do to save the country. New York City’s Democrat primary results set off a political fuse that is causing explosions across Democrat, federal, state, and local power structures. The victorious Democratic Socialists of America smoked two congressional incumbents, ended the political careers of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, and set up the DSA as the kingmaker in the 2028 presidential primaries. Why did the far left of the Democrat party, represented by the DSA, suddenly amplify its rhetoric from universal...
