Free Republic

The United States was a mere 28 years old by the time Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the Corps of Discovery were working their way up the Missouri River. In 1804, the men were nearing present-day Doniphan, Kansas. They spotted a stream on the Kansas side of the river, and as Clark writes: “as this Creek has no name, and this day is the 4th of July, we name this Independence us. [U.S.] Creek.” That night, they camped at a spot which Clark called “one of the most butifull [beautiful] Plains, I ever Saw.” They would dub the area “Joe...

OPINION: BY JEFFREY A. FRIEDBERG THE 2020 CROP OF “MODERN, DEMOCRAT, SOCIALIST ‘HOPEFULS,’” SEEMS TO BE OFFERING AS MUCH FREE STUFF AS THEY CAN THINK UP. It’s bribes. Inducements. Attractants. It’s to rope in the inattentively committed. The “socialists,” liberals, progressives, and other social warriors. It’s to buy votes. The height of this apparent insanity is that ALL of them even propose “free healthcare” for all illegals. I mean—WHO is their Target Audience? WHO do they hope to win over? To achieve free healthcare, alone, they will have to: 1.) take away private healthcare from those already insured and give...

The 50 yr-old rabid anti-Israel Irish lawyer/activist who was jailed for 6 months after a drunken, racist incident onboard an Air India flight to London has been found dead on an English beach. A disgraced anti-Israel activist from Britain who was jailed for staging a rowdy and racist scene aboard an airplane was found dead in what police are treating as a suicide. The lifeless body of Simone Burns, 50, also known as Simone O’Broin, was found last month on a beach, the Daily Telegraph reported Thursday. Sussex Police confirmed her death “is not being treated as suspicious” and next of kin have been...

MAGA: America's greatness begins spiritually with her surrender and reliance on Divine Providence and the gospel of the grace of Christ. America has that light of the gospel of the grace of Christ and God wants to use her to send that light around the world in these last days. America's greatness is perpetuated politically, legally, and socially by her inspired Free Constitutional Republic. Freedom: Freedom and liberty is seldom talked about these days. "Equality" and "fairness" is more the mode-o-day. But as Milton Friedman said, "A society that puts 'fairness' and 'equity' ahead of freedom will have neither. A...

One month after Donald Trump took his oath of office, Rep. Justin Amash (R–Mich.) pinned at the top of his very active Twitter feed George Washington's famous farewell address warning against "the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally." This morning, not seven weeks after breaking ranks with this party in calling for impeachment proceedings against the president, Amash announced in a Washington Post op-ed that he's leaving the GOP and declaring himself an independent. "Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party," the five-term congressman wrote. "No matter your circumstance, I'm asking you to join...

'in my opinion everyone should know the faces of those charged with rape, especially if they're in the community as cab drivers, running chicken shops etc. Men have been able to go on (raping) for years even after they're arrested" Tommy Robinson Testifies At His Trial In London July 4, 2019 The first day of what is expected to be a decisive two day trial began in London today (July 4th) for Tommy Robinson accused of contempt for live streaming outside a child sex abuse gang trial involving Muslim defendants.

VIDEO I give some tips on how I am saving money on Independence Day just by using discounted gift cards, coupons, and bowling passes as well as parking my car in a free vs expensive space. My estimated savings today alone using simple thrifty methods comes to at least $120. However, you can do the same and not just on Independence Day but EVERY day. Remember, use the internet to your advantage to make every day a financial Independence Day for yourselves, not just on the Fourth of July.

It's getting stupid my friends. Make it 65+. Any whack job looking for publicity can run. Swalwell, Williamson. Then there's the successful entrepreneurs looking for an excuse to spend their money. The 35 age requirement was ok at our nations founding as life expectancy was shorter. In our lifetimes Reagan and Trump were most successful having nothing to prove in their 70's. 40-somethings like Kennedy/Clinton had the gift of gab but were reckless when it came to women. The Kenyan was the same but kept his pants on. I say force the youtes to think of policy over flash.

Happy Birthday America! Let’s celebrate.So if the Dems want to skip the annual Independence Day parade – ostensibly due to the cost – let them. They’re only spoiling it for themselves. I suspect they would have complained about the cost of our actual independence as well as they certainly don’t seem to approve of any of the nation’s founding principles.  Is there anything about America the Dems don’t want to destroy?So while they hope, as they don’t pray, for rain on our parades I say let’s force them to boycott everything American: burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, baked beansIn fact,...

Here is my homage to the Killdozer and the man that made it a reality, Mr. Marvin John Heemeyer. Marvin John Heemeyer was an American welder and an automobile muffler repair shop owner who went on a rampage with a modified bulldozer. Outraged over zoning disputes, he armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004 to demolish the town hall, the former mayor's house, and other buildings in Granby, Colorado. The rampage ended when the bulldozer became stuck in the basement of a Gambles store he was in the process...

Petah Tikva inaugurates 'Donald Trump Square' in honor of US president's support for Israel The city of Petah Tikvah in central Israel inaugurated "Donald Trump Square" on Wednesday, a day before US Independence day, in honor of Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The roundabout near the city's municipal building features a water installation with statuesque structures bearing the Israeli and American flags illuminated by florescent colored lighting. A placard in both Hebrew and English commemorates Trump as "the first to acknowledge Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel". Petah Tikvah's "Donald Trump Square" is the latest piece...

....The original 1890 version of a John Philip Souza march done by the United States Marine Band in Washington DC, "The President's Own". We are coming into the 243rd anniversary of Independence Day in the USA with some lamenting of the loss of values and some anger and outrage at the rage on our streets... Someone stood outside a child sex abuse trial in Leeds, England last year and did a live stream leading to his arrest. Tommy Robinson playing the role of journalist shedding some light on the situation shouting questions to the defendants convicted and being sentenced that...

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s red past showed its ugly head recently in Miami where the Democratic presidential candidate offended the masses by glamorizing a Marxist revolutionary who executed thousands to impose communism and begged his Soviet compadres to nuke the U.S. At a union rally for striking airport workers, de Blasio proudly quoted Ernesto Che Guevara, a terrorist murderer who helped Cuban dictator Fidel Castro execute thousands of men, women and children in front of firing squads. He happens to be one of the most despised historical figures in south Florida. True to his communist roots, de Blasio...

It's a strange custom indeed to mow a lawn. In order to mow a lawn, you must first create a lawn. And that takes work. You must first take a backhoe and turn over the soil. Then plant the grass seed. Toss in a little hay (to keep in moisture). Then water frequently. Then 4-6 weeks later, the grass is growing in force and you must now mow weekly. Basically a lot of work in order to create reoccurring work . So tomorrow is Independence Day and most everybody will be grilling hot dogs. Why hot dogs? I would rather...

Twitter thread

MSNBC sounds the alarms on President Trump on a constant basis, but one host insisted on Tuesday that he is using the upcoming Fourth of July celebration as a "threat" to Americans who oppose him. The president has longed talked about showing off America's military capabilities in celebration of Independence Day, and now his vision is coming to fruition as tanks arrive in Washington D.C. ahead of Thursday's festivities. Appearing on "Deadline: White House," however, MSNBC's Joy Reid offered a grave warning during a panel discussion, beginning by claiming Trump aspires to be a "mini" North Korean leader Kim Jong...

<p>Nike has pulled its Betsy Ross American Flag shoe from the shelves. Why? NFL has-been Colin Kaepernick’s complaining that the Betsy Ross flag a symbol of white supremacy. Nike said they didn’t want to potentially “offend” anybody. Surprise to Nike, they are offending a significant portion of the American public. But spitting on America, and her freedom has become a way of life in 2019. Not only for Nike and Kaepernick but also Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and soccer’s Rapino as well.</p>

<p>Republicans worry that the NRA and two other groups that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines.</p> <p>The National Rifle Association aired an avalanche of TV ads and pushed its 5 million-plus members to the polls for Donald Trump in 2016, propelling him in the Rust Belt states that delivered him the presidency.</p>

It all started innocently enough. Last summer, Jim Ficken left his modest home in Dunedin, Florida, for Columbia, South Carolina, to tend to his late mother’s estate. He asked a friend and local handyman to keep an eye on his lawn, lest it grow too long in his absence. After Jim left, sadly, his friend died unexpectedly. And, left unattended, Jim’s grass did what grass in Florida does during the summer: It grew. The city’s code enforcement department noticed. Labeling Jim a “repeat violator” because he’d once let his grass grow too long some four years earlier, the city began...
