Free Republic

Proponents of the Equal Rights Amendment shot themselves in the foot by showing their true stripes on tv to the then-normal American majority, at the November 1977 IWY in Houston. The abortion feminists, Lesbians and other Orcs drove the wooden stake into the ERA's black heart by being caught in the act of being themselves. One of their leaders admitted they had no chance, the late Phyllis Schlafly' s forces had defeated them with prayer.

As an old proverb on foreign policy goes, "Only Nixon could go to China." But, after his meeting with an African-American evangelical congregation on Saturday, someday, they might make a similar statement about race relations: "Only Trump could go to Detroit." Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump absolutely stunned the political world with a speech that went directly to the heart of his efforts to reach out to African-American voters. And afterward, a number of African-American faith leaders said they were swayed by his comments. "For centuries, the African-American church has been the conscience of our country," he said. "It's from...

I delivered the following speech at the American Freedom Alliance's event in August. Thank you to the organizers and everyone who came out to be a part of it. (Go to http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ for video of the speech - Lou) We’re winning. I know it’s a farfetched idea right now. There’s an Islamic terrorist attack every week or every few days. A bomb goes off. A man with a, quote unquote, history of psychiatric problems, takes a machete, a gun or a truck to a bunch of non-Muslims while shouting Allahu Akbar, and the media repeats the same old lies. You...

It doesn’t take any serious statistical analysis to show that a Trump electoral victory is possible The Hillary Clinton campaign and the mainstream media are stuck in the past. It’s the past of several months ago, before the constant stream of Clinton lies had reached critical mass…before Donald Trump’s policy statements overtook his off-the-cuff gaffes as news stories…before the opinion polls stopped showing what was described as an insurmountable lead for Clinton. While Democrats have by-in-large been able to use the mainstream media as their political propaganda arm, the dam holding back the rising river of Clinton lies is about...

Will Donald Trump be treated impartially in the debates moderated by Commission designated liberals, not likely. Can Donald Trump overcome the partiality, we will see? The debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are being organized organized by The Commission on Presidential Debates. The 2016 debates are already scheduled and the ‘moderators’ have been chosen. The commission is labeled as ‘non partisan’ but is it really? The mere fact that that three of the debates are ‘moderated’ by people from the three major news networks itself should be a clue as to the false ‘non partisan’ nature of the debates...

It all makes sense now No wonder Rush Limbaugh refers to Bill Clinton’s presidential library, which houses the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, as the “Clinton Library and Massage Parlor.” The news here is that former Playboy model Cheryl Saban, who appeared naked in the iconic former nudie magazine in April 1979, is a member of the board of directors of the Clinton Foundation, Eric Owens of the Daily Caller reports. Special: "Cocktail" Drink Could Finally Be The Alzheimer's Cure In 2009, Saban’s current husband, billionaire Haim Saban, was the Democratic Party’s biggest single donor, according to Tablet, an...

Targeting cities means targeting Democrats When HUD threatens communities with lawsuits and civil rights reviews, don’t expect political affiliations to help. Don’t expect discrimination to erode either. HUD has a different end in mind. Through their Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, the agency uses threats of lawsuits and the withholding of grant funds to control local zoning and land use. In Rockford, IL, the agency even forced the town council to reverse the voters’ decision not to move forward with an affordable housing project.

Remind players in no uncertain terms that our freedom to speak and demonstrate comes with responsibilities too Thank you Colin Kaepernick, we’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. I don’t know what your problem is, but I bet it’s very hard to pronounce. Like the few combat veterans, including my fellow Green Beret vet Nate Boyer, who stood by Colin at the pre-season game Thursday evening, I did indeed risk my life for people’s right to express their opinions freely and stand up for what they believe in. However, I respectfully disagree with each of them...

Indonesia has asked the chairman of China's Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, Jack Ma, to act as adviser in the development of the Southeast Asian country's nascent e-commerce industry, according to a video released by the government. Indonesia has the world's fourth-largest population, boasting a young, internet-savvy demographic, and a thriving e-commerce market that is increasingly attracting global investors. Earlier this year, Alibaba bought a controlling stake in Southeast Asian online retailer Lazada Group for around $1 billion, while a group of investors led by private equity firms KKR & Co LP and Warburg Pincus LLC poured more than $550 million...

It’s hard to overstate the symbolic power of sitting down. Today, a football player’s refusal to stand for the National Anthem has garnered headline upon headline. Twenty-two years ago, a seated couple protested one of the world’s most beloved figures. In a truly iconic American scene that still captures the attention—and confusion—of the Washington elite, then-President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, sat in stunned silence amid a standing ovation that followed Mother Teresa’s address at the National Prayer Breakfast. The applause lasted a solid five minutes after Mother Teresa’s address. Long before the days of “virtue-signaling,” however, the Clintons...

https://youtu.be/WCZwdDRDRuUHe hasn't been following it closely; yet he's willing to weigh in with his understanding of it (where have we heard this before?): “My understanding at least is he’s exercising his constitutional right to make a statement. I think there’s a long history of sports figures doing so,” Obama said Monday during a news conference in Hangzhou, China. Strawman. This isn't a question of Constitutional rights. No one I know who is challenging Kaepernick's "stance" disputes his 1st Amendment right to be anti-American (which is an American tradition to do amongst some Americans on one side of the political spectrum)....

High-quality graphene would soon be used for the next generation of electronics and energy devices. To produce it a simple method has been done. This method involves only using a microwave oven in order to bake the compound. Researchers at Rutgers' School of Engineering in Rutgers University have found that high-quality graphene could be produced using simple methods. That could potentially mean millions of dollars saved in making the new compound that would be used for new electronic devices. The discovery has been made by students, most of whom are either undergraduates or are post-doctoral associates, as Phys Org reports....

A group of lawmakers from South Korea's ruling Saenuri Party said Monday the country should consider building a nuclear-powered submarine, amid escalating provocations by Pyongyang. The remark came as North Korea on Wednesday test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in waters off its east coast. The South Korean military said the missile flew about 500 kilometers toward Japan, making the longest flight by such a missile launched by the communist country. "South Korea's military should move to deal effectively with North Korea's SLBM threat by deploying a submarine with nuclear propulsion that can better detect and attack North Korean vessels,"...

More than 70 percent of manufacturing jobs and more than half of jobs involving data collection might be rendered obsolete by automation and robots, according to a report from McKinsey & Company. One study estimated up to 80 percent of current jobs may be threatened by automation, which could become a critical economic issue for policy makers and global leaders in the coming decades. While Americans celebrate Labor Day weekend, it is a good time to contemplate the rise in artificial intelligence and how it can threaten jobs in all types of industries....

So for you preppers out there, which type of Solar chargers have you come across that was reliable? Solar chargers and gadgets that run on solar can be found all over the place, and like many I have tried almost all of them disappoint. Some never fully charge, lose their charge too quickly, fall apart, short out if they get wet or any number of things that render it useless after just a couple tries. These are all the reasons I fell in love with Sunjack. Here's some specs on it. Four solar panels that come in an easy-to-carry and...

Hillary Clinton had another coughing attack today, and it was perhaps the most devastating yet as she tries to knock down questions about her health status. Clinton began coughing repeatedly while addressing unionist in Cleveland, and it appeared she even had trouble breathing.

We are about to learn once again that lack of resilience is the flip side of efficiency. The world's seventh largest shipping firm, Korean-based Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd., failed to rally the support of its creditors last week and was forced to file for bankruptcy. Retailers and manufacturers worldwide are in a bit of a panic as the fate of goods on Hanjin ships shifts into the hands of courts and lawyers for creditors intent on seizing Hanjin assets in order to ensure payment of outstanding bills. Much of Hanjin's fleet is chartered, that is, owned by others, and those...

President Obama had better think twice about raising the issue of Philippine extra-judicial killings, warned the country's confrontational leader on Monday. The US president and his Philippines counterpart, Rodrigo Duterte, were set to meet in Laos this week, where Obama is attending a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders. White House officials previously said Obama would confront the Philippines President about his country's handling of drug dealers, including extra-judicial killings, or government executions without the benefit of judicial proceedings or due process. But the Filipino leader did not take kindly to that notion. "Who does he think he is? I am...

This video I sing A-Capella the hymn,“Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior”, written by William H. Doane, and accompanied with some, Greg Olson art pictorials. I begin the song with the chorus, third verse and end again with the chorus.

Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Obama's Department of Homeland Security, addressed the Islamist Islamic Society of North America on September 3d. He told the assembled "American Patriots" -- and reminded the rest of us -- of the glories of Islam and how greatly it influences and therefore benefits Obama's America. He did not suggest that only by the further recognition of Islamic supremacy and the further Islamisation of America will they achieve their goals. Today is Labor Day; the rest of us have much work to do to prevent it.Here is the text of Secretary Johnson's speech, with indented comments by...
