Free Republic

The U.S. was founded upon the assertion espoused in the Declaration of Independence that people are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” These rights are bestowed by the highest of all authorities, God, and therefore no mere human government or institution has the authority to remove these rights. No government has greater authority than God, and all humanity, including governments, are ultimately answerable to God.

It shouldn’t shock anyone if Donald Trump wins a second term in 2020. “Now Hiring” signs in local shop windows are potentially more persuasive than abstract phrases like “Constitutional Crisis.” Jobs and wages affect everyone everywhere, and Washington court battles and executive-congressional clashes can be easily dismissed as distant thunder. I’m not endorsing that scenario. Far from it. But in the wake of the newest Labor Department stats – a 3.6 percent jobless rate (the lowest in nearly 50 years) and a 3.2 percent boost in the GDP during the first quarter of 2019 — we need to acknowledge the...

According to the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC), the nearly half of all federal crimes committed in 2018 were committed at the hands of non-U.S. citizens. The report released by USSC shows that non-citizens committed 42.7 percent of all crimes last year:

The House Intelligence Committee is investigating whether attorneys representing President Donald Trump, his family and the Trump Organization misled the committee or obstructed its Russia investigation in the preparation of Michael Cohen's false 2017 statement to Congress, according to letters obtained by CNN. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff sent letters in March to four lawyers who were part of the President's joint defense agreement asking for documents and testimony related to the crafting of Cohen's 2017 statement to the committee and any discussions of presidential pardons. But the Trump lawyers rejected the request in a letter responding to Schiff, accusing...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This video clip of Rod Rosenstein riffing on Teenage Drama Queen James Comey has been making the rounds of Twitter and the fake news media all day: Embedded video Ryan Saavedra ✔ @RealSaavedra Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein slams former FBI Director James @Comey: "The former director seems to be acting as a partisan pundit, selling books and earning speaking fees while speculating about the strength of my character and the fate of my immortal soul" Very clever. Very funny, in that sniffling, slimy Rosenstein kind of way. He...

Time’s up for The New York Times “in any respectable home,” says the rabbi who converted Ivanka Trump to Judaism. On Wednesday morning, May 1, a couple of hours after returning home from a glorious Passover in Israel, my wife and I called The New York Times and explained to a very respectful representative why we wanted to end 60 years of on-and-off home delivery of the paper. We told him that the cartoon that was published in The New York Times International Edition on Thursday, April 25 — depicting a guide dog with Benjamin Netanyahu’s face leading a blind,...

“Fox News balances a mix of bigotry, racism, and outright lies,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) declared Tuesday in her explanation of why she turned down an invitation to one of the network’s town hall events. In a series of tweets, Sen. Harris attacked Fox News, accusing the network of promoting the “life and death consequences” of racism and conspiracy theorists. […] Democrats who participate in the Fox News town hall will be allowing the hateful network to cash in on their popularity, (Sen.) Warren says: “I won’t ask millions of Democratic primary voters to tune into an outlet that profits...

Ok – this is pretty messed up. A second-grade boy asked if he could use the teacher’s restroom, as he was having stomach issues and was nervous to use the boy’s room at risk of being mocked. His teacher figured this CLEARLY meant he was transgender and took it upon herself to give that kid lessons on gender identity during his recess period. I kid you not. According to Fox 40: Parents in Woodburn said their 8-year-old son was held back from recess multiple times for one-on-one conversations about his gender identity – and they had no idea. The mother...

Ohhh, AOC. I can’t figure out if she’s so full of it she often trips over her own crap, or if she’s really, truly braindead. Just a few days ago, the Socialist Sweetheart revealed that her assertion that the world would end in “12 years” was OBVIOUSLY sarcasm and dry humor, and if you don’t get the joke, you’re just stupid. This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it. Like the “world ending in 12 years” thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think...

Madonna, ahead of Eurovision appearance in Tel Aviv, says she won’t bow “to suit someone’s political agenda.” “I’ll never stop playing music to suit someone’s political agenda nor will I stop speaking out against violations of human rights wherever in the world they may be,” Madonna said in a statement to Reuters. “My heart breaks every time I hear about the innocent lives that are lost in this region and the violence that is so often perpetuated to suit the political goals of people who benefit from this ancient conflict. I hope and pray that we will soon break free...

Weary of battling with the President, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) demands that he "self-impeach. Almost everyone in Washington agrees that he is the most despicable person to ever hold public office. Just the other day Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed the same opinion. And behind closed doors, most of our Republican colleagues concur. Surely the hatred of this man has reached critical mass." Pelosi suggested that "impeaching himself might be the only way to avert the intelligence community from arranging his assassination. He should take a lesson from history. If the CIA could successfully eliminate as beloved a...

Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez acts like she's confused and doesn't understand why $93 trillion is too much. She doesn't have a real way to generate that money. If anything, it would come from taxpayers. Not to forget, the Democratic Party already struck down her Green New Deal when they voted on it the first time. Democrats don't seem to have faith in AOC's plan. Video at source.

VIDEO New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman proposed building a big beautiful border wall. The only reason he is making such a proposal is that he knows the Democrats' current position on opposing this wall is political suicide. Friedman wants the Democrats to at least PRETEND to support building such a wall because he knows that their opposition to border security will deliver victory to Donald Trump in 2020 and since he suffers from extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome he knows his mental health is at stake if Trump is re-elected.

I'm looking to buy Art of the Deal election edition and I have a couple of questions. I keep kicking myself for not buying one during the campaign. Trump was selling them for 200 a pop. Looking on ebay I see two versions. Both are similar, and have a signed certificate affixed to a page of the book. I see two certificates, one has an gold embossed "Trump" at the top of the signed certificate while the other does not. Does anyone know if one or both versions are legitimately from the campaign?

"the world's watching" Tommy Robinson Speaks Outside Old Bailey In London 5/14/2019 A crowd now gathered outside the Old Bailey in London as of 1 pm local time (8 am Eastern US)....

Awwww…poor little Rashida.Rashida and her homies are complaining about people taking her words out of context and using them to stoke racial hatred for political reasons. To be clear, that technique is only acceptable when applied to a President you don’t like… Several news organizations took remarks President Donald Trump made Wednesday out of context to suggest he was referring to undocumented immigrants at large as "animals," when in context it appears the President was likely referring to members of a violent gang. – CNN Business Media Blatantly Distorting Trump's Words on Charlottesville – The Hill So let’s analyze what...

According to a new report performed by the American Public Health Association, all six men who are sexually attracted to feminists are already suffering deeply from the ongoing sex strike for abortion rights. The six men in the nation who identify as feminist-attracted include Greg, Sebastien, Shiloh, Ansel, Jade, and Ashley. All of them are from Oregon.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Who is John Durham and why should you care? – Good question, and certainly not one I’d ever thought about before last night. That was when the New York Times published an article that appears to be actually true – who’d ‘a thunk it? – containing the news that Attorney General William Barr has appointed Mr. Durham, the U.S. Attorney from Connecticut, to oversee the origins of the Obama Administration’s multi-faceted spying operation targeting the Trump Campaign Here’s an excerpt from that piece: WASHINGTON — Attorney General William P. Barr has assigned...

Jesus was not born in a stable. That's not to say the birth wasn't attended by farm animals — the Gospel of Luke tells us twice the baby's first bed was a feeding trough — but rather that the animals lived in the house. Peasant homes in first century Bethlehem were designed with what we would today call an "open concept." They typically had one large room with the nicer living space in an open loft or on the roof, while the main floor area was where the family's animals would be brought for safekeeping at night. The guestroom that...
