Free Republic

Ordinary white people who simply love freedom and want to be left alone from the excesses (which ultimately lead to totalitarian control) of big government socialism and globalism, are being unfairly maligned as white supremacists. We don't want socialism/Marxism/Communism. That's it. Has nothing to do with race, creed, religion, or even sexual orientation. The Left is using White Supremacy/Nationalism to shut down the voices of freedom-loving patriots. Any whites who want America to be the beacon of freedom that it has for 220 years is deemed a racist. This is simply wrong. As Andrew Wilkow has repeatedly stated, I don't...

Although the prosecution had recommend an eight year prison sentence, Judge Robert Crowley only gave Flick half that much time. Judge Crowley explained the shorter sentence with the following words:“At some...

Thought I’d take just a few moments to explain just what the gob-smacking greatness of Trump really is. Nobody seems to be aware of it. So I fly in like mighty mouse to “save the day!” BTW-on a side note I am seeing Trump with his Sir Kaepernick commercial and now his picked fight with the right honorable Omar person and the super-right honorable AOC. Here’s my suggestion. As the election draws near, do a commercial where you morph Kaepernick and have the illustrious 2 beside him. They could be the new Tony Orlando and Dawn. Morph it up. They...

This would make her a contestant in the Miss World America competition.However, the Miss World America competition revoked Zhu’s victory after it was revealed that she had made a tweet where she had accurately and truthfully said that most black murder victims...

Conservative media has gotten immensely better in the few years thanks to our fearless leader, the POTUS VSG. Enormous experimentation is going on, as viewers/listeners break away from TV and radio to explore new media that's light on ads and can be accessed on the fly. So who are the rising conservatives stars in new media?  Here are a few of my favorites: Scott Adams's Coffee with Scott Adams is routinely one of the most insightful on the psychology and strategy in American politics.  And Scott is user-friendly since his MP3 podcasts can be downloaded easily and you can read...

Among the most politically potent arguments for President Trump’s punitive tariffs on your, my and other Americans’ purchases of imports from China is the claim that these tariffs are a tool for reducing Chinese theft of Americans’ intellectual property (IP).While IP theft in China does occur, as my Mercatus Center colleague Daniel Griswold and I argue in a recent paper, this theft provides far less justification for Trump’s tariffs than is commonly believed.First, the extent of such theft is overblown. Much of this “theft” is in fact in-kind taxation. Beijing requires that certain foreign companies seeking to do business...

"The View" host Joy Behar took her anti-Trump talk to another level on Thursday, posing the possibility of the president being charged with hate speech in the wake of Wednesday's controversial rally. Behar kicked off the comments by saying she does not understand how President Trump could "get away with" attacking freshmen congresswomen the way he had, before launching into the next part of her diatribe. "Why can't he be brought up on charges of hate speech?" Behar asked. She then wondered why the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has repeatedly sued Trump's administration, hadn't sued the president over...

I know that this headline is alarming, but it is actually a direct quote from a notice that was recently posted in a Kroger supermarket. And as you will see below, similar notices are being posted in the canned vegetable sections of Wal-Mart stores nationwide. I would encourage you to examine the evidence in this article very carefully and to come to your own conclusions about what is happening. At this moment, social media is buzzing with reports of shortages of canned vegetables all around the country. But so far, the mainstream media is being eerily quiet about all of...

Short video: Comedian Terrence K. Williams is straight up indignant about accusations of racism directed at the President by the "Squad" of freshmen congresswomen: AOC, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley.

Girl Suspended From School For Refusing LGBTQ Lesson Due To Her Faith Ten-year-old Kaysey and Farrell are both pupils of Heavers Farm Primary School in Croydon, a neighbourhood in South London. Last month, the children, a girl and a boy, asked their teacher if they could be excused from a lesson in which they were asked to color in LGBT “Pride Month” material. Although the children cited their religious objections, he refused and afterward allegedly accused them of “homophobic language.” ****VIDEO IS 8 MINUTES LONG AND FEATURES THE LITTLE GIRL THIS HAPPENED TO. THE CHILD GIVES WONDERFUL INSIGHT AS TO...

VIDEO Okay, let's get the big problem with smoking turkey wings out of the way: toughness. Turkey wings are tough. Very tough. However, I was able to smoke this 10 pound batch of turkey wings in a way that eliminated that toughness. One key thing to do is to marinate them for at least 24 hours in mojo marinade. Then take them out of the refrigerator a few hours before smoking to allow them to reach near room temperature. The key ingredient in my rub is the cayenne pepper which gives it that special spicy kick so you can feel...

When Donald Trump, in a formal meeting with Senators, referred to Haiti and African countries as “s***holes,” it renewed a cycle of accusations and denials that has devolved into a kind of minor league sport. Is our president a racist? Our wrangling over this question exposes an odd quirk of American life. Most people cannot define racism. And many who understand it resist confining the term to a definition. Swedes apparently have 25 words for snow. In a cold, damp climate, snow is a force that shapes their life. It makes sense that they would evolve language to express its...

A few weeks ago, the University of Michigan Hospital launched an investigation after a supposed noose was found on an employee’s desk. Now the investigation has concluded after finding that it wasn’t a noose at all. Is anyone surprised? The university’s Division of Public Safety and Security released this statement: DPSS statement on investigation of possible hate crime at Michigan Medicine Following an extensive investigation, the University of Michigan’s Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) has concluded that the rope resembling a noose found at University Hospital was not the result of a hate crime. On June 20, 2019,...

The word coming out of Belmarsh Prison in London is that it's two most famous prisoners ended up being close enough in their solitary confinement cells to talk to each other. Danny Tommo, who's been a channel of communication for Tommy Robinson to the outside world, tweets that a prisoner was moved into a cell above Tommy's and it was none other than Julian Assange....

Because Trump said stuff over the last few days that has singled out the four noisy horseladies of the Apocalypse (H/T the late Wesley Pruden), everyone is leaping to their defense. Now we have an idiotic and misguided #IStandWithIlhan trend percolating on Twitter. Count me out. I won’t stand with Ilhan for multiple reasons. Immigration: She is a fan of Sanctuary Cities. Ilhan agrees with AOC that the detention centers on our border are actually ‘concentration camps.’ Ilhan voted AGAINST the Emergency Supplemental bill that provided additional funds and resources for those very detention centers. She’s all about humanitarian aid...

Have you seen this? Beauty queen stripped of her title for political opinions.Apparently Kathy Zhu, who was born in China and immigrated to the U.S. with her parents when she was five, was dumped for holding what pageant organizers consider to be out-of-the-mainstream opinions about hijabs, black on black crime and other “insensitive” statistics. Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and "insensitive" statistical tweets. pic.twitter.com/K1Btho0Pgq —...

CNN political analyst April Ryan on Wednesday evening lamented that Democrats cannot find “the kryptonite” to take down President Donald Trump after a North Carolina crowd at Trump’s rally chanted “send her back” when Trump was discussing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) anti-American and antisemitic “screeds.” (snip) “No one has found the kryptonite for this president,” Ryan told CNN’s Don Lemon. “We have seen time and time again you think you have something. You throw a piece of spaghetti up against the wall. And it just falls off.” When Lemon mentioned that House Democrats “saw internal polling showing the best argument...

Miss a Shot at a Big Buck Last Fall? Now's the to to get that Rifle Dialed in – Here's One Expert's Game Plan Complaining or simply beating up on yourself about a shot you missed last fall is not going to solve your problem. July is here, and with it are those long, lazy, mild late spring and early summer evenings that you can spend at the range, and if you're lucky, you'll bump into old pals and enjoy some therapeutic conversation and trigger time. Making excuses for not being able to take this time seems to be a...

Kristy Swanson accused President Trump's critics of hypocrisy Thursday after they accused him of racism following last weekend's "go back" tweet. “The same people who are screaming racism & are defending the Squad have been attacking the color of Trumps skin & telling him to Leave since day one!” Swanson wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning, appearing to refer to the mockery of the president’s tanned face.

Presidents, like most politicians, don’t apologize. They don’t admit mistakes, either. President Trump just did both. By saying he “disagreed with” and “wasn’t happy” with the audience chants of “Send her back” at his Wednesday rally, Trump effectively walked back his own tweet that went too far. On Sunday, he had criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar and three other rookie Democrats by saying they should “go back” to their home countries. The president took an enormous media and political pounding for those words, and Democrats in the House voted to condemn his comments. Some Republicans also complained, as did daughter Ivanka...
