Free Republic

The News-Faker of the Week Award goes to… – Well, it goes to CNN, because of course it does. We’ve all heard by now of the tragic story out of Washington, DC last week of the Uber Eats driver who was murdered by two teenage girls who tased him and attempted to rob him in a carjacking incident. After being tased, the driver, a 66 year-old resident of Springfield, VA named Mohammad Anwar, lost control of the car and ran off the road. He died at the scene, and the girls were arrested by DC cops and charged with felony...

Could he be right? It’s plausible. – Will China Joe Biden’s evil, elder-abusing handlers just keep on pushing their addled patient out in front of the cameras for as long as they possibly can, rather than turn the presidency over to Kamala Harris on the timetable they all agreed to when she was selected as the party’s vice presidential nominee? That’s the theory that Eric Trump posed to Maria Bartiromo in an appearance on Fox News Sunday morning. Here’s the money quote, courtesy of the Conservative Treehouse: “[A White House] memo goes out saying all communications must read “Biden/Harris admin”...

If you’re counting on Joe Manchin to save the Republic… – Well, you might want to think again. For all his bluster and fake media coverage about being some sort of “moderate” Democrat, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has always been nothing but a reliable, down-the-line leftwinger who operates in what I like to call the Lloyd Bentsen mode of being a senator. You might remember Lloyd Bentsen, the long-time Texas senator who ran for the vice presidency in 1988 as Michael Dukakis’s running mate. During his 22 years in the senate from 1971 through 1993, Bentsen was the quintessential...

So ironic for a guy who is literally old enough to have memories of the stone age to accuse others of thinking like Neanderthals. This downward trend in Texas and other red states who either never had mask mandates or whose governors have recently rescinded them is horrible news for Democrats, of course, which is why you see them out there still issuing dire warnings and attempting to shame anyone who follows the Governor’s latest advice. Democrats are communists at heart, and as communists they want control over everyone’s life. Nothing in their lifetimes has provided them with the means...

Ok, so, the new Democrat/media narrative for this coming week is GOP efforts to stop massive Democrat voter fraud = GOP assaults on “voting rights.” Voter ID requirements are the new Jim Crow laws, according to the Sock Puppet-in-Chief, Joe Biden. Being able to have a dozen or more mail-in ballots sent to your home by the state, city, county, school district, justice of the peace and dogcatcher where you live, as well as from several neighboring states if you’re a Democrat, is a “voting right.” Being paid to agree to be transported to the polling place on election day...

The U.S. military has a new Chief of “Diversity and Inclusion,” and he looks and speaks and does social media exactly as you’d expect. – Tucker Carlson went off on Biden’s woke military leadership again last night, and it was glorious. Carlson’s topic this time was the appointment of one Richard Torres-Estrada to be the Chief of Diversity & Inclusion of America’s Special Forces. I swear I am not making this stuff up. Check it out: As you might expect, Mr. Torres-what’shisname is your classic woke social justice warrior, not the kind of actual warrior you might hope would be...

About that Biden “press conference”… – Well, it was exactly what I told you it would be. A clearly impaired elderly man, talking from note cards, stammering around as he tries to remember his talking points, repeatedly getting flustered even though the questions and lapdog questioners had all obviously been vetted in advance. The Sock Puppet-in-Chief obviously struggles to maintain a train of thought for more than about 5 seconds, and should not continue to be shoved out into public by abusive handlers like this.

Here is CBS News, setting the leftwing narrative about inconvenient court decisions to come. – Perhaps the single most successful aspect of the Trump presidency was the fact that he was able to appoint a record-setting 242 judges to the federal bench, including 3 justices to the Supreme Court. While they cannot always be relied upon to do the right thing for the country – as we clearly witnesses from those Supreme Court appointees in the wake of the stolen election – it is very likely that conservative judges around the country will soon be issuing rulings that effectively block...

Ready for that Sock Puppet-in-Chief “press conference” today? – If you’re expecting the same kind of uniformly hostile questioning that the White House fake Press Corps invariably greeted Donald Trump with, well, sorry, that ain’t gonna happen. The corrupt Democrat toadies will toss softball after softball at China Joe, all of which will have been vetted in advance so that the Sock Puppet can simply recite canned answers that his evil handlers have written for him. If he gets hung up with one of his regular brain freezes, no worries, he’ll just pause a moment to listen to the little...

Immediately following the news of the killings breaking, white leftwingers all across social media leapt to the assumption that the shooter was a white male despite literally zero evidence that that was the case. Prominent blue-check fake journalists on Twitter led that parade, mainly because they’re all a bunch of Democrat activists and not journalists at all. Thus, the initial narrative became that the shooter was a racist, because at that point no one knew that all of the victims were white. Hours later, when news broke – despite the best efforts of CNN/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/CBS to cover it up – that...

The News Fakery Never Ends at Politico. – Working off a report at Democrat media bullhorn Politico, the Daily Wire said yesterday that China Joe Biden, our National Sock Puppet-in-Chief, is “under investigation” by the Government Accountability Office for his refusal to spend funds allocated by congress to build the wall at the U.S. border with Mexico. This move, among other Biden reversals of the Trump policies that had tamed the situation at the border in recent years, has unsurprisingly led directly to the current mushrooming crisis in South Texas, as aliens from Central America smuggled by drug gangs flood...

Speaking of people who aren’t in charge of anything at all… – The future DC Swamp sock puppet-in-waiting, Kamala Harris, continues to have deep trouble matching her sorority girl giggles and laughs to the situation at hand. Harris’s tendency to resort to completely inappropriate laughter whenever she’s asked a difficult question that she knows she can’t answer honestly has plagued her throughout her political career, and nothing has changed since she was installed as Vice President after a stolen election. Yesterday, she was asked if she would be visiting the border as she prepared to board Air Force 2. Watch...

News that is certain to drive the left nuts. – The big news over the weekend was the bombshell dropped by former Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller, who told Howie Kurtz on Sunday that the former President would soon be returning to social media. That prospect in and of itself would be guaranteed to drive the average participant in Twitter’s Perpetual Outrage Mob into saliva-spewing fits of outrage, but the second part of what Miller said can only serve to up the ante: Trump will be returning on a social media platform of his own making. VDO.AI From the story...

It’s been obvious for weeks that the sights at border facilities at the Texas/Mexico border must be depressing and disgusting, as the Biden/Harris people have desperately worked to prevent images from them to be released to the public, knowing they’d likely cause a scandal. The recent moves by the ghouls running this administration to move thousands of illegals to holding facilities in places like Dallas and Midland, and policy changes over past few days to expedite the release of asylum applicants into the public without proper, time-consuming processing has only served to emphasize the likely images of squalor and concentration...

Speaking of China Joe, the elderly reprobate sock puppet for the DC Swamp currently pretending to be the legitimate President of the United States of America, he and his utterly incompetent, pathetic diplomatic staff are getting their heads handed to them by Putin and Xi Jinping this week. The corrupt Democrat toadies who staff our major news media outlets are all doing their best to pretend that this is all just fine, that there’s nothing to see here, but they’re lying to us as usual. This is not fine at all. It is in fact the opposite of fine.

Ok, so, it’s a crisis, right? – The completely inept dog and pony show artist Jen Psaki admitted that the Biden/Harris-created crisis at the border with Mexico is indeed a crisis at her daily media lapdog training session on Thursday. Panicked, she then walked it all back, saying she meant to use the word “challenges” instead: Those Democrat-funded and created “challenges” include border detention facilities – that stood near-empty six months ago when we had a real President in office – now so overcrowded that the administration has now sent thousands of “juvenile” aliens – many of whom appear to...

The simple fact of the matter is that our nation will never return to anythings resembling a normal state so long as Anthony Fauci continues to be regarded as a credible “expert” by our brainwashed public. This, of course, is why the Democrats and their media toadies remain so desperate to continue propping him up and pretending that anything he has said has any basis in science or data. In Fauci’s vision of America, we will all be wearing masks forever, long after any threat from COVID has disappeared. Because this is all an exercise in control at this point,...

“The object of power is power,” and, it’s important to add, the exercise thereof. We as Americans have seen the truth of that bit of wisdom played out all over our nation for the past year, and the results have been horrifying. Power-mad Democrats and Republicans alike have discovered that most Americans are perfectly willing to become imprisoned in their homes, deny their children access to education, have their freedoms of association, assembly and religion stolen from them, see their friends and neighbors be put out of jobs and have their businesses destroyed and walk around wearing masks like every...

Look, for those of you sitting there thinking, hey, Michelle was asked the question, she just answered it, just stop it. First of all, Michelle Obama doesn’t just willy nilly walk onto a set or pick up a ringing phone and talk to reporters unprepared. She and Jenna Bush unquestionably communicated prior to that interview, so that Michelle could carefully prepare answers to the questions she knew would be asked. It is entirely likely, in fact, that Michelle herself actually suggested that line of questioning so that she could roll out that specific answer. In fact, it is entirely likely...

See that Bus, Governor? Jump under it or I’ll toss you. – China Joe Biden did a puffball pre-prepared fake interview with former Clinton bagman-pretending-to-be-a-journalist George Stephanopoulous yesterday, and boy, did he throw Andrew Cuomo under the proverbial bus. Hilariously, he also threw himself under the bus to any viewer who’s being intellectually honest about allegations of Biden’s own wildly inappropriate behavior towards women. Not only did the sitting pretend-President of the United States repeat his previous mantra that he wants the New York Attorney General’s investigation into Cuomo’s behavior to continue, he expanded to say that he expects Cuomo...
