Free Republic

The GOP is ascendant, but conservatives must guard against leftist drift, anti-Semitism, and socialism to preserve America’s family, faith, and freedom. The Republican Party is finally winning, and the Conservative movement is enjoying real power and cultural resurgence. The Democratic Party is on life support, and a couple of special elections in deep-red states cannot change its larger decline. They are polling very weak numbers, and the leadership looks like feckless puppets more interested in performance art or political theater than in actual governance. They have no solutions, only complaints. The monomaniacal Democratic strategy of “Orange Man Bad” has harmed...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) shared a study that showed that left-wing terrorism had reached a “30-year high,” and criticized Democrats for using rhetoric such as “Hitler” or “fascist.” In a post on X, Fetterman included a screenshot of an Axios article titled “Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high.” Fetterman noted that “political violence is always wrong,” and called for everyone to “turn the temperature down.” “Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes,” Fetterman said. […] The CSIS “compiled and analyzed a data set of 750 domestic attacks and plots” that had occurred...

Bill Maher, an American comedian, political commentator, and television host known for his sharp, often controversial critiques of religion, politics, and culture, used his HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday (Sept. 26) to spotlight ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria. Maher has hosted the long-running show since 2003, featuring unscripted debates with guests from across the political spectrum. During a panel discussion, U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, thanked Maher for raising the issue and said the media has failed to cover the tragedy. “Nigeria, the fact that this issue has not gotten...

Maher argues the killing of Christians in Nigeria is 'so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza' ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher said the killing of Christians in Nigeria by Islamist groups is being ignored because ‘the Jews aren't involved.'See the video.

Left-wing comedian Bill Maher tried to trap Border Czar Tom Homan this weekend with the standard liberal fantasy: just give amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants already in the country. Homan shredded that argument piece by piece. His reasoning was so airtight that even Maher’s leftist crowd had no choice but to applaud. It’s not every day you see progressives cheer for enforcement, but logic wins when it’s delivered that well. Maher asked Homan why the agency couldn’t just go easier on those in the country illegally. Homan didn’t mince words: “What I’m saying is, that’s why you have...

First they came for Jimmy Kimmel, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t…a lame-a**? No. In this Niemöller scenario, the deplatforming of the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” comes at the end of the slippery slope, not the beginning. ABC canned Bill Maher 23 years ago for mocking Bush-era propaganda about our sainted Middle East occupation troops. Also at the request of right-wing Bushies after 9/11, MSNBC fired Phil Donahue—despite having the network’s highest ratings—for being too liberal and not pro-war. CBS News fired Dan Rather on a trumped-up ethical breach, and CBS radio fired Don Imus. Lenny Bruce...

Bill Maher rejects Kamala’s claim that America wasn’t ready “for a ticket with a black woman and a gay man.” @billmaher: “I know the Republicans would say, “Well, if you had the right politics, we don’t care if you’re black. We’ve had Herman Cain run. We’ve had lots of people run. 20% of black men voted for Trump in the last election. And gay, we don’t care about that either.”

Liberal host Bill Maher mourned the killing of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, contrasting conservatives who embrace dialogue with far-left activists who, he argued, seek to silence it. “Look, I might drink a little more than usual today,” Maher told guest Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. “Because I don’t know when this is airing, but this is a s— day. A guy who sat there – Charlie Kirk – got shot today, and I can’t stop thinking about it.” Kirk’s assassination during a campus event stunned the nation and reignited a national conversation about the...

@JasonJournoDC "Charlie Kirk was a guy who was always talking — and I talked to him here. The right-wingers — say what you want about them — but they talk to you." "The left really has much more of a 'I don't talk to you, I don't want to deal with you, you're deplorable, I can't break bread with you' attitude. All the right-wingers — they don't have that attitude." "Charlie Kirk and I certainly don't agree on much politically — but he sat here, he's a human being, he's not a monster!" "I liked him! I like them all!...

@VigilantFox Bill Maher delivers a brutal message to Democrats still calling Trump “Hitler.” Kirk is dead, and Maher has had enough of this sh*t. “Okay, first of all, a$$holes, he’s not Hitler. Okay? An insult to everybody in the Holocaust, to begin with. Second of all, calling somebody Hitler makes it a lot easier to justify things like assassination. Let’s put a sh*tload of that away, shall we?”

Marc Maron recently appeared on “Pod Save America” (via Vulture) and doubled down on his criticisms of Bill Maher. While the “WTF” host acknowledged that he joined Maher on HBO’s “Real Time” three times in the past, he has since turned on Maher in recent years. Maron already called Maher out earlier this summer for being partial to “some of the things” Donald Trump is doing in his second administration as U.S. president. “I can’t do it,” Maron now said when “Pod Save America” host Jon Lovett asked him about Maher. “I always had a problem with his tone, and...

On Friday's episode of "Real Time," Host Bill Maher urged Americans to unconditionally support free speech to avoid becoming like Britain which has increased its crackdown on speech violations in recent years.

“Gavin Newsom is now trolling Trump. I’ve never seen a Democrat do this. I think it’s very funny… he’s imitating Trump’s exact style,” Maher said Friday during his “Real Time With Bill Maher” show. “This is Newsom: ‘And he will fail as he always does, sad. And I, the peacetime governor, our nation’s favorite, will save America once again. Many are calling me the, you know, Gavin Newsom, many say the most loved and handsome governor,’” Maher added, reading a post Newsom made on X. Newsom and his communications team have tried to mimic Trump’s rhetoric and social media persona...

Bill Maher has lashed out at Democrats for declining to come on his show. “People ask me all the time, ‘Why haven’t you ever had Hillary or Bill Clinton on? Why didn’t you have Kamala on during the last campaign?’” Maher said on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday. “You think we don’t ask?” Noting that it took him “eight years and a petition to get Obama on,” Maher lamented that he could not even attract Democratic politicians for whom he has voted. “We ask these people every week. They say, ‘No,’” he added. “And these are people, all people...

HBO host Bill Maher had some harsh words for the co-hosts of “The View” on Monday. While interviewing actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore on his “Club Random” podcast, Maher admitted he doesn’t think that the five women who host the ABC show are the best spokespeople for the female perspective. “And I like everyone, but I don’t know if they’re really at this moment the best advertisement for women,” he told the actress. The topic came up when “The Drew Barrymore Show” host told Maher to visit New York City and be a guest on her show, which...

Once upon a time, George Will was a conservative. I'm not sure what he is anymore after his TDS drove him to vote for Joe Biden. Even if he didn't want to vote for Donald Trump, voting for Biden seems like a denial of everything he was before. It's certainly not a conservative position. But what he said on Friday on HBO's "Real Time" with Bill Maher was in some ways even more surprising than that. Maher and Will were talking about Democrat NYC mayoral race nominee, Zohran Mamdani. Maher went hard against Mamdani, saying he says "the things that...

Liberal comedian Bill Maher admitted that he was wrong about President Donald Trump on tariffs in a podcast posted Monday, and he’s "got to own it" because the economy is thriving. Maher made the admission on his "Club Random" podcast as he explained that he’s always truthful with his audience during a conversation with progressive YouTube host Brian Tyler Cohen. "Just to take an example, tariffs. Now I remember that I, along with probably most people, was saying at the beginning, ‘Oh, you know, by the 4th of July… the economy was going to be tanked by then,’ and I...

The first episode of a two-part documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," dropped on HBO this week. Bill Maher interviewed the Piano Man about the project on his "Club Random" podcast, and they ultimately got around to the topic of wokeism. ... So much of his music has been about rebellion and pushing back against authority and conventions. In the documentary, it becomes clear that it wasn't just some schtick to sell records. It's who he is. Many of the songs were written in response to the events unfolding in his life at the time. "You May Be Right"...
