Free Republic

In the fall of 2019, Republicans suffered a few serious defeats: Democrats won governor races in Kentucky and Louisiana, and consolidated the state legislature of Virginia. Too many Republican voters in both states told pollsters and reporters that the Republican candidates just hadn’t "earned their votes." They hadn't made the case for election, or reelection, or they'd lost the glow they used to have. Oh, these voters still consider themselves Republican, and voted Republican for other races, but since these particular Republican candidates didn’t "earn their votes" they denied them the prize of victory, allowing an opposition with whom they...

A Deplorable Strategy Beyond 2020 amgreatness.com/2019/12/02/a-deplorable-strategy-beyond-2020/ December 3, 2019 Regardless of who wins in 2020, the mega-issue that drove the 2016 elections will grip the country more intensely than ever. From President Obama on down, the political, educational, media, and corporate establishment had long since taken for granted that placing the opinions, interests, tastes, and the rights of the rest of America on the same plane as their own amounts to “false equality.” They had come to regard us as lower beings. No matter whether they attributed our purported inferiority to our alleged racism, sexism, etc., or just plain stupidity,...

Oh my. Adam Schiff gave an interview to The New Yorker in which he had some really nasty things to say about Donald Trump.  One stands out in particular: “The President doesn’t give a s**t about what’s good for our country, what’s good for Ukraine. It’s all about what’s in it for him personally and for his reëlection campaign.” Doesn't care about what's good for our country? Seriously? The data says otherwise. Jim Geraghty:Turning our attention to the American economy, you’ve heard about the low unemployment rate. What you may not have heard is that the workforce participation rate for...

Texas will be much cleaner after this upcoming weekend as Scott Presler, conservative activist and environmental steward, returns to Harris County. Over the last year, the 31-year-old spearheaded initiatives to cleanup cities and empower communities across the United States including Chicago, Baltimore, and Los Angeles. He now plans to tackle our very own city of Houston this Saturday. In a phone call with the Houston Courant, Scott’s enthusiasm was earnest, “I used to live in Galveston and League City and have roots in the greater Houston area. We want to go into the areas that have been neglected and show...

Hmmmm…what could possibly be the reason for this? So hard to guess… – By now you’ve likely seen the news about today’s massive November jobs report for the U.S. Trump economy: 266,000 new jobs created for November, record low unemployment rate of 3.5%, record low unemployment rates for Blacks, Hispanics and women, and a 3.1% year-over-year real wage growth. Combine that with an inflation rate of just 1.4%, and you have a U.S. economy performing at peak performance levels. But hey, you don’t have to believe me – just ask Jim Cramer, no fan of President Trump, who responded thusly...

VIDEO Chuck Todd likes to portray himself as some sort of neutral political referee. This is very amusing in light of Referee Chuck acting annoyed because the Democrats in his opinion aren't pushing for impeachment even harder.

Boy Invites His Entire Kindergarten Class to His Adoption Hearing—and the Ceremony Was Incredibly Sweet. A 5-year-old boy named Michael from Grand Rapids, Michigan, showed up for an adoption hearing on Thursday. The heartwarming thing was that his entire kindergarten class turned up to cheer him on and congratulate him on starting a new chapter in his life

The family dog of 13 years had to be put down. Her body was shutting down and nose cancer had taken its toll. She wouldn't eat and I had to carry her. I can't say enough good things about the local vets, C-Vets Emergency, and NC State K9 Oncology. They did so much for her and us during her time. RIP to the world's best GSD ever. Terra.

Cracker Jack was usually such a disappointment. You'd tear the open the top of the cheap cardboard box, then pull apart and eat some not-very-fresh popcorn covered in not-very-tasty caramel, along with some peanuts that seemed to have something kind of wrong about them. Then you'd finally get to the "prize" about two-thirds of the way down, which if you were lucky was some kind of cheap plastic lion or bear, but mostly you weren't lucky. Maybe they've gotten better since I was a kid, but the two things I remember most distinctly were a sense of disappointment... and an...

There is always this never-ending 1911 vs Glock argument. The two guns are as different as night and day. It’s time to look at another popular debate. Which is better, the 1911 or the Sig P220? Right off the bat most gun advocates in the shooting crowd that are not die-hard 1911 users have recognize the Sig P220 taking the lead on this. Yet, there are still debates among the hard core users. The short answer why Sig P220 trumps the 1911: ReliabilitySimple operationOnly one company builds Sig P220s (but, TJ is the man that can customize to your needs)You...

Among other not-so-flattering distinctions, Hillary Clinton is the queen of epic self awareness fails and today was no exception. As Red State’s Streiff wrote earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced this morning that she was going to proceed with asking House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler and other committee chairs to begin drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump. Predictably, the Usual Suspects™ lined up to fawn over and praise Pelosi’s move, including Clinton – who can never resist the opportunity to take swipes at the man she couldn’t defeat in 2016. The twice-failed presidential candidate took to the Twitter...

About 40 percent of Americans who enroll in college drop out before earning a certificate or degree. A high percentage of those who drop out are from poor families; they attended K-12 schools where academic standards were low and students who really tried to learn faced peer rejection for “acting white.” Still, some graduate and get into college. Then what? In The College Dropout Scandal, author David Kirp, an emeritus professor of public policy in the University of California-Berkeley’s Goldman School, argues that what happens to those students should be regarded as a national scandal because the colleges that enrolled...

I scoured the House Intelligence Committee report prepared under the supervision of the lying lout Adam Schiff in an effort to deduce whose phone records he obtained and how he obtained them. The report itself is silent on the subject. I inferred that Schiff certainly obtained the telephone records of Rudy Giuliani and Lev Parnas. In part 2 of this series I cited reports that Schiff obtained records on a total of five phone numbers from AT&T and Verizon and added that all the published information was derived from the records of these five numbers. As of this morning, it...

by KrisAnne Hall, JD America’s media stream has been saturated by politicians, pundits, and law professors pontificating on what America’s founders’ believed about presidential impeachment. The most oft used argument today is a misapplication and misleading representation of what founder Alexander Hamilton said in Federalist #65. The claim is that Alexander Hamilton establishes in Federalist #65 that presidents should be “impeached for political reasons.” This is completely and obviously false to anyone who has read the essay and possesses a smidgen of reading comprehension skills. I believe the people asserting this fake claim are confident that the American people won’t...

If you still don’t understand exactly how power-mad the Democrats in congress truly are, will the fact that they are now spying on and doxxing fellow members of congress help to convince you? – We here at the Campaign Update have repeatedly invoked comparisons of conduct of the ongoing impeachment clown show by Adam Schiff, Gerrold Nadler and Nancy Pelosi to the basement interrogations and show trials that we used think only happened in Stalinist Soviet Russia and other totalitarian regimes. We have made those comparisons for good reason: Because they are entirely accurate, right down to Schiff’s conducting of...

“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – President Obama to House Republican Whip Eric Cantor, January 23, 2009. Ever wonder why “ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES” only when the Democrats win? Two words:Sore losers. Remember the Democrats live by a sacred motto: For Republicans there is no end of the day.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.
