Free Republic

Women are just angry all the time about something.This woman is articulate enough for women to not listen carefully to her proposals. The feed our families line got the applause when there's plenty of food out there. 'That little girl was me' caught Biden off guard. All heart no brain voters.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Of course, Kamala Harris lied: She’s a Democrat. – Several readers responded to yesterday’s Campaign Update by informing me about media reports indicating Kamala Harris lied during Thursday’s debate when she claimed her elementary school class was the first to be integrated when she went into first grade in 1970. Jim Hoft at Gatewaypundit.com dug up 1963 yearbook photos from the high school Harris attended in Berkeley, CA (because of course she grew up in Berkeley – where else?). That yearbook shows a fully-integrated class of students. Harris, as a reminder, was...

As more students have headed to college and a degree is seen as a way to shape students as workers and as citizens, higher education’s mission has become more important. Its leaders, and their personal beliefs, have become more contentious, too. In recent months, many conservative thinkers have publicly debated how to reform higher education—or, even, if they should. Political liberals, as well, have joined in. From reform and technocratic changes to complete withdrawal and abolition, below is a selection of the more-insightful additions to the debate over higher education, and perhaps, a look at where future reformers will pull...

I can think of nothing that captures the essence of last week’s Democratic debate participants better than the NPC meme:  a stage full of preprogrammed “non-player characters” in a video game who are only allowed to interact through a limited number of responses and catchphrases.  Still, a handful of the NPCs managed to make themselves stand out in the crowd. Che de Blasio and Perpetually-Peeved-Pocahontas on Wednesday night:And on Thursday, Rainbow (“did I mention I was gay?) Pete,  Joey, Forever Angry Bernie and  Kamala “I’m-Black-Like-Obama” Harris brought their game faces.Everyone else served as interchangeable automatons programmed to move the game...

Veteran journalist Dan Rather on Friday lamented how American foreign policy has, under President Donald Trump, “become incoherent and amateurish.” The former CBS news anchor told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Trump’s conduct while meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, was “deeply strange, at least borderline bizarre.” Trump joked with Putin about election meddling and getting “rid” of journalists. Rather also criticized Trump’s praise at the summit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for doing a “spectacular job” and his tweeted offer to meet North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un at the Korean...

While the bloated field of contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination are unanimous in the belief that no restrictions on abortion can be tolerated, the House of Representatives was rejecting allowing a vote on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act for the 66th time. This bill would require that doctors render aid to infants who unexpectedly survive an attempted abortion. Democratic presidential candidates Sens. Bernie Sanders (Vt), Kamala Harris (Calif), Cory Booker (NJ), Elizabeth Warren (Mass), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), and Amy Klobuchar (Minn) all voted against a Senate version of this bill. Gillibrand called the Born Alive bill...

President Donald Trump elaborated on his invite to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to meet him at the demilitarized zone, telling reporters he "just thought of it this morning." "All I did is put out a feeler if he’d like to meet," Trump said in response to a question from ABC News' Karen Travers during a pool spray of a breakfast with Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. "He sent me a very beautiful card and I guess he got my return letter." "But I just thought of it this morning," Trump said, emphasizing the spontaneity of his invitation....

...For much of the last year, mainstream novelists were furious that Amazon was discouraging the sale of some titles in its confrontation with the publisher Hachette over e-books. Now self-published writers, who owe much of their audience to the retailer’s publishing platform, are unhappy. One problem is too much competition. But a new complaint is about Kindle Unlimited, a new Amazon subscription service that offers access to 700,000 books — both self-published and traditionally published — for $9.99 a month. It may bring in readers, but the writers say they earn less. And in interviews and online forums, they have...

A death sentence from France's Court of Cassation for quadriplegic patient Vincent Lambert late Friday afternoon..... An attempt by the federal government to compromise with environmentalists failed Friday morning as three groups that want an injunction to stop Oregon ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond from using federal land for grazing rejected it..... They are arguably the most demonized leaders in the world and on Friday US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin were together with President Trump in a jovial mood..... President Trump tweeting about his next stop following the G 20, South Korea.... At Gallargues-le-Monteux in southern...

When liberal donor George Soros and several other liberal billionaires called for a wealth tax, the media swooned. Soros, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, heiress Abigail Disney and 15 others wrote an open letter calling on presidential candidates to adopt a wealth tax on the top 1/10 of 1 percent. Vanity Fair was thrilled on June 24, publishing a supportive, hyperbolic account of the “zillionaires’” letter declaring: “Conscience-Stricken Billionaires Beg 2020 Candidates: Take Our Money.” Nevermind criticism that a wealth tax is unconstitutional, the reaction from Vanity Fair, The New York Times and CNN stories avoided tough questions and criticism. Bloomberg...

Vanity, but still needed in lieu of the rapidly approaching 2020 elections: Ads need to be made of every Democrat raising their hand in supporting health care for all illegal immigrants, which is what they did on stage. Democrats have said they want illegal immigration decriminalized, they do not support deportations, and thus they axiomatically support open borders. Add to that their promise of free health care for all illegals in this country and you will soon see 100 million illegals in this country. Retort by Dems: by law they have to be treated in ER's! Answer: not if you...

Some great 90s industrial/nu-metal rock/rap for you. Enjoy

Greatest musical of all time. Enjoy.

THE SCIENCE FICTION OF PREGNANT MALES—AND JUST WHO THE HELL IS Julián (?) Castro? PICTURE i.dailymail.co.uk Author: Conservative Detective, JEFFREY A. FRIEDBERG OPINION: BY JEFFREY A. FRIEDBERG Impolite, and not chronicling the “news” politely…. PICTURES PREGNANT ‘MAN’” (oh, right this fooled me totally—I thought it was a MAN!) – “Hayden Cross was born a girl and was legally male when he paused transgender hormone treatment to conceive using a sperm donor he had met on Facebook.” Oh, that’s just too good: IT’S A “HE!” “…During Wednesday night’s first Democratic presidential debate, San Antonio mayor Julián Castro stated he supports taxpayer-funded...

Every day, parents that are citizens of the United States commit crimes of various sorts, are separated from their children, are taken to county jails or other locations, are booked, and the process rolls on from there. Why do Democrats place parents that are illegal aliens on a higher pedestal than they do parents that are citizens of the United States? Why do Democrats say that illegal aliens who are the parents of children should not be separated from their children? Third, the border patrol and other various law enforcement personnel often do not know if these "parents" are actully...

After speaking with Eric Trump, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday called for stricter discipline against the Aviary server who allegedly spit on the son of President Donald Trump. Lightfoot called Tuesday night’s incident at the posh Fulton Market bar “repugnant” and said “this isn’t about politics, this is about civility.” The server, only identified as a young woman, was placed on leave by Aviary’s parent company, the Alinea Group — the company known for acclaimed restaurants like Alinea and Next Restaurant. Law enforcement agents kept the server in custody for two hours on Tuesday night after she, as Eric...

I have a friend. More like a brother really. Larger than life, he was a true a friend, as fine a man and as thoroughly an American as any you will ever find. Hard working, hard drinking (sometimes), he loved his family, and his neighbors. We had a family business, and Rick worked for us. But he was more, much more than that. He got me out of scrapes at times, and he could rip me a new one, if it was warranted. Overall, he believed in doing an honest days work for an honest day's wages. He worked hard,...

AL mother "Marshae Jones" (27) Charged in feticide after being SHOT in stomach! ***video is 42 minutes long may want to bookmark for later but Just Jay explains it all out, and tells it like it is!***

This weekend’s box office wiped out two franchises, cemented the failure of two others, and mercy-killed one of those woke entries only pompous critics adore. We’ll start with Men in Black: International, which is doing even worse than those already-dire predictions of $30 million. Deadline reports this stinker will open to a pathetic $25 million, which is less than half of what all three of its predecessors opened to. Even the 22-year-old original launched with $51 million in 22-year-old dollars. As I mentioned in my review, MIB4 has no swagger, no sex appeal, and no laughs; just a confusing story,...

Chief Justice John Roberts just keeps on breaking conservatives’ hearts. On two consecutive days this week, Roberts sided with the court’s liberal wing to deliver 5-4 rulings that deeply disappointed right-leaning lawyers and pundits who had been counting on near-certain victory from a court now stocked with a pair of Trump-appointed justices handpicked by conservative legal activists.
