Free Republic

Donald Trump’s 2016 triumph probably competes with Truman’s defeat of New York liberal Thomas Dewey as one of the most astonishing victories in American presidential elections. A lot of feminist mud was thrown at Trump that year, but when it counted he stood up strong and proud and outsmarted the smuggest of the smug and has gone on to curb the mad foreign policy of new wars, to stand up to China and appointed three Supreme Court Justices. 2016 was a terrible year for me but to see the numbers go the way they went on November 8th was sheer...

The ultimate Halloween song! Enjoy.

Have fake news and deception only just been invented or have creativity with the truth and illusion always been at the heart of what humans do to each other?

The 2020 election offers a choice between a man who believes in freedom for Americans and a man in a basement who has been set so many targets that he can't let his own people be what they are. The fantastic growth results of the September quarter prove that freedom works. America is built on freedom. Fear locks us down. Freedom lets us build. On John Adams birthday, lets remember what we need to be free.

Do Freepers fear feminism in government? Is justice for men impossible now?

The solution to feminist destruction of The West is Gender Peace. I live in a society where a corrupted judiciary and police force routinely allow selfish women to persecute innocent men. A nanny state where illusions of safety replace the old freedoms which suited and underpinned family life. My message to America is to be very careful about every promise of safety which involves giving up freedom. Praise the Lord for a 6-3 conservative majority in SCOTUS. If Potus 45 does not survive into a second term, a deeply conservative Supreme Court will give some measure (or maybe even magnificent)...

MADISON, WI — The bureaucrat in charge of Wisconsin’s response to COVID-19 was an art teacher before rising through the ranks of the state Department Health Services. Stephanie Smiley serves as director of DHS’ Bureau of Communicable Diseases and interim administrator of the Division of Public Health. Yet, Smiley does not have degrees in medicine or science, a point state Sen. Steve Nass says should not be lost in Gov. Tony Evers’ constant mantra of “following the science” and relying on the experts in battling the coronavirus. Smiley holds a Bachelor of Science in Art Teacher Education from the University...

I love seeing Donald Trump speak against the fear mongering surrounding Coronavirus. The most draconian lockdowns in the world in Australia have seen one million people (4% of the Australian population) seeking mental health services because of the stress of the many forms of police state imprisonment and destruction of freedom imposed on the people. Anyone who has read and believed Exodus knows that God sends pandemics to test people’s capacity to accept His will. Many people of a more scientific and less religious disposition believe that Mother Earth is a self correcting whole where pandemics may be a result...

The anniversary of George Mason's death is coming up. on Wednesday. His thoughts were pure, both of his times and ahead of them. This bit of Word Art pays tribute.

Socialist Left government in the state of Victoria senselessly destroys lives. It gives me comfort to look to the old fashioned wisdom of America. I pray that Biden does not do to you what Dictator Daniel Andrews has done to those of us down here who value history.

On 22 September, 2020, a powerful video put out by #FightBack, was published on Youtube, with a mirror site on Bitchute. This is a review of the 11 minute video. I give it 4.5 stars.  #FightBack is collecting funds for Kyle Rittenhouse's defense. From Fightback.law:   Fightback.law is a Texas 501(c)(4) not-for-profit organization established to promote social welfare through advocacy and just treatment of people and organizations with respect to their civil and constitutional rights.

Access to lots of documentaries. Looks like good content. Inexpensive. Has anyone tried?

That they’re easy to carry, often pocket-perfect and lightweight, inexpensive (or relatively so), and sold in drugstores, airport arcades, supermarkets, and many other venues outside the hallowed precincts of the glorious bookstore does not make them less worthy of a good life as a book. Many old and battered paperbacks are treasured by their owners, for content they can’t replace in another edition or for pure sentimental attachment. Who among us hasn’t got paperbacks that we can’t part with, even as we wonder what we can do to keep them going? Paperbacks’ chief fault lies in the often low-grade (inexpensive)...

Because he was deaf when he wrote them, Beethoven never heard his “late quartets”. This is a remarkable anecdote; an inhuman feat of human creativity. I was reminded of a resonant anecdote while reading in the Spectator US of a meeting between British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and his wife and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—bear with me. The article described that the Laborite couple later sent the laborious couple a book of poems by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, a 17th century Mexican nun and poet. The Spectator describes her as “a poet known for her proto-feminism and...

Overcome hate with Love.

The crux of western culture: Fatherhood (or parenthood if you want to be more modern) as celebrated by John Ford in The Iron Horse. (A micro-movie adaptation.) If the family is the heart of human life, then for thousands of years whatever fathers (and mothers) pass on to their sons has been a sustaining force in The West. Now such patriarchy is unfashionable. But that does not mean that good fathering has ceased to be a human need. Can the excesses of misandrist feminism be turned back to allow us a world with a better balance between men and women...

Veteran Tulsi got it right on Tucker Carlson about what a danger to freedom the likes of Kamala Harris would be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUsU-oFyFUw

"There is utter denial on the part of Democrats everywhere that anything is amiss in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, or anywhere else that Antifa and BLM thugs are attacking. They burn, smash and pillage municipal, state and Federal facilities.  Then they loot businesses large and small, generating chaos that is only half-heartedly acted upon by the local police, who are under an almost universal “Stand-down” order from the municipal authorities, with very real instances of defunding or neutering of police functions. This is much longer and more widespread than the “Kristallnacht” of Germany,...

If you’re going to Mao up the canon, don’t half-ass it On June 22, The New Yorker published the execrable essay “Just How Racist Was Flannery O’Connor?” by Paul Elie. The essay is pure race-bait meant only to stoke trouble and earn its author progressive plaudits for claiming the scalp of a revered figure in American letters. The hatchet job even abuses its primary source, Angela Alaimo O’Donnell’s recent study Radical Ambivalence: Race in Flannery O’Connor—so much so that O’Donnell felt compelled to savage Elie in an article for Commonweal:Elie mines the book for what he refers to as “nasty”...
