Free Republic

The UK's parliament needs to be hosed clean. Our freedom and democracy are being destroyed by corrupt politicians. We are custodians of this democracy, not its owners. We have no right to weaken it for future generations, any more than we have the right to leave them poisoned water or air. The European Union is a model for an anti-democratic global government. The purpose of the EU is to destroy the nation state and to transform Europe from a rich and diverse continent of sovereign nations into a single homogenous political bloc governed by a committee of unelected bureaucrats who...

Shortly after the latest terroristic hate crime against the Jewish community (it's always necessary to note that Jews, despite only representing about two percent of the overall US population, are targeted by a substantial majority of religion-based domestic hate crimes), President Trump and Vice President Pence joined the civilized world in expressing their disgust over the violent incident and voicing solidarity with the victims:

President Donald Trump and Democratic congressional leaders agreed Tuesday to work together on a $2 trillion infrastructure package — but put off for later the difficult question of how to pay for it. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there was “good will in the meeting” — a marked departure from the last meeting between Trump, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which ended with Trump walking out in a huff. Schumer said the two sides agreed that infrastructure investments create jobs and make the United States more competitive economically with the rest of the world.

A 31-year-old former NBC News producer attempted to attack a San Diego church on Easter morning, where she held her own baby hostage and threatened to blow up a parish. Despite a blackout in national media coverage, NBC San Diego provided the details about the horrifying incident that the dozens of Christians in attendance were lucky to escape from: The San Diego Police Department has identified the woman who is accused of walking into an Easter Day service in Clairemont with a baby and a weapon on Sunday. She is being identified as Anna Conkey, 31, former intern and freelance...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Ok, look: If we’re going to have all of this incessant climate alarmism going on, can’t we at least get the numbers straight? All of this constant throwing out seemingly random numbers about when the world’s going to burn up, freeze, flood or just plain end is getting unbelievably tiresome. Why bring this up now? Yesterday, Senator from the #ClimateScam Ed Markey told a sheep-filled audience that “Within 15 years, Mar-a-Lago’s going to be underwater for over 100 days a year, it’s going to be Mar-a-Lagoon, not Mar-a-Lago.” Clever, right?...

By ending more than 6 weeks of a devastating flood that hit 2/3 of Iran’s cities and villages, still, the Iranian Government is inactive. There have been three rounds of flood strikes hitting on the Iranian Cities. Still not any real action to relieve the people’s hardship by Ayatollah Ali, Khamenei, the Supreme Leader except for a few words about these tragedies. After days of silence, the mullahs’ supreme leader showed up to speak and to respond to the US administration’s decision to end all Iran oil sanctions waivers. Khamenei attempted to save his face in order to salvage his...

In a controversial move, Sports Illustrated has unveiled photos of its first ever Baptist swimsuit model, pictured in a floor-length denim skirt, modest collared blouse, and no makeup or jewelry whatsoever, other than her purity ring. The "hot" photoshoot includes pictures of the woman lying on the beach, rolling around in the water, and reading Passion and Purity on the beach in sexy poses, all while completely covered up. Christians quickly praised the decision. "We are glad SI finally sees the value of modesty," one leading evangelical said. "A woman mostly covered from head to toe is a great precedent...

Most of you know the opposition leader in Venezuela today called for the military and people to rise up and overthrow the Maduro Regime. After seeing a few videos earlier of some of the rioting in Venezuela I went to youtube and searched for "venezuela en vivo" and several outlets are live streaming from around Caracas...most of the time it's boring but every once in awhile the tear gas and rock throwing gets intense.... The people are trying to overthrow a Government that has weapons by using sticks and stones..... Lesson #1 NEVER EVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS like they...

When two mosques in New Zealand were attacked last month and 50 worshipers were murdered, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez went on a twitter rampage firing off 14 tweets about the shootings. She mocked "thoughts and prayers" offered to the victims and attacked the NRA. Following the shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue she again went ballistic, not waiting for the bodies to cool before politicizing the tragedyThere was another tragedy which left AOC uncharacteristically mute- the carnage in Sri Lanka. Ocasio-Cortez’s reaction differs starkly compared with the aftermath of the terror attack in New Zealand last month, where 50 Muslims were brutally...

This whitewashing of history and white people in general will continue unless we learn from and accept the past rather than demolish it For the first time, Democrat candidates for president won’t be allowed to avoid bowing at the altar of racial grievance to win the 2020 nomination. The now omnipresent racial grievance crowd that seeks acknowledgment of their perceived victimhood may insist that neither frontrunner Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders are “woke” enough to satisfy their ideological demands.

Babies Born Alive and Euthanizing the infirmed The real problem in Canada is not that Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holds the world record for Selfies and stupendously stupid photo-ops like the one yesterday when he spent all of 15 minutes with his children filling sand bags to hold back raging flood waters in Ottawa, it’s that a thoughtless narcissistic trust fund baby somehow got himself elected as prime minister. As a Trust Fund Little Guy from the day he was born, Justin Trudeau has never had to give a moment’s thought to anyone, or anything else but himself.

Such great injustice needs to be seriously resolved before "justice" can truly be trusted again in America. Intelligent American citizens would have thought the Democrat-driven “investigation” into collusion with the Russians to interfere in the United States’ presidential election in 2016 would have finished with the release of Attorney General William Barr’s report on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s diligent efforts. Unfortunately, not all voters are intelligent. Tragically not all voters are even citizens. And despite the best efforts of honest journalists to reveal the truth of whether Donald Trump’s presidential campaign team colluded with the Russian government, it will not...

The poison ivy roots of Bernie Sanders, who used the resources of America for his entire political career, run deep Oh, for the days when Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was just another plant growing in the dirt-ridden dark of Democrat politics; when he was only the straw man dragged onto the 2016 Democrat primary campaign by Hillary Clinton to keep other Democrats from competing against her for DNC nomination. Grandpa Sugar to millions of millennials who believe in his faux promises of “Free Stuff”, the socialist senator is the perfect prop for cunning Dems any time they need a...

VIDEO The Pittsburgh campaign kickoff speech by Joe Biden was notable only by its dullness. However, the person who stole the show was the yawning guy behind Biden.

The big election this week are the primaries on both sides for the special election in NC-3. Polls close at 7:30 PM ET tomorrow and we will be liveblogging. NC-3 (R, D): NC-3 is an R+12 seat covering much of the rural easternmost part of the state around the Outer Banks. The population of the seat is concentrated in the so-called “Inner Banks”, a collection of small cities and rural areas including Greenville, Jacksonville, New Bern, Elizabeth City, and Kinston. There are a ridiculous 26 (!!!) candidates in this field, including 17 (!!!) Republicans. Of those 17 Republicans, 14 are...

Michelle Obama has repeatedly said she doesn’t want to run for president, and she will not run for president. I believe her. But her husband once made a declaration that he would not run for president, until he did.

The clearest of all the laws concerning U.S. intelligence is Section 798, 18 U.S. Code—widely known in the Intelligence Community as “the Comint Statute,” or “the 10 and 10.” Unlike other laws, this is a “simple liability” law. Motivation, context, identity, matter not at all. You violate it, you are guilty and are punished accordingly. Here it is: (a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, . . . any classified information— (1) concerning the nature, preparation, or use of any code, cipher, or cryptographic system of the United States or any...

Everyone loves shotguns whether its for hunting or home defense, shotgun usually comes up first as the most preferred to have. Then, theres the talk of either having a 12 gauge or a 20 gauge, which is the better? Probably the best answer will always be that "depends". The 12 gauge will have more kick than the 20 gauge. To some folks they don’t mind or like the harder recoil. 12 Gauge For hunters that prefer the larger shot size (4 shot) and heavier loads, go with the Mossberg 500 12 gauge. Good for the gobblers and turkeys that don’t...

This simply begs for a caption contest. Here’s my offering:“Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo” Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo I do believe it I do believe it's trueIt's a light and tumble journey From the East Side to the park Just a fine and fancy ramble To the zoo But you can take the crosstown bus If it's raining or it's cold And the animals will love it if you do If you do, nowSomethin' tells me it's all happening at the zoo I do believe it I do believe it's true The monkeys stand for...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The legacy of Rod Rosenstein is a complicated one, and one that, as we will discuss later in this piece, is far from through being compiled. Some conspiracy theorists on Twitter and some fringe websites like to portray Rosenstein as an American hero, a Machiavellian schemer who makes Machiavelli himself look like a novice in his tireless efforts to protect President Donald Trump as he out-conspiracies the Deep State Cabal that operated within the DOJ and FBI throughout 2016 and 2017. In this scenario, every action Rosenstein has taken since coming into...
