Free Republic

From what we've seen over the years, it's not clear what skills (outside of government) Rep. John Conyers has to offer that would warrant a $174,000 yearly salary and perks and that just may be why his lawyer is not-so-subtlety warning the House of Representatives to back off or else. The fact this statement from attorney Arnold E. Reed was released via Tweet from Yamiche Alcindor, a New York Times "reporter covering Congress, race & social justice issues", we have a good idea where this could be headed.

Get ready for a new tactic politicians may use when trying to deflect attention drawn from an inconvenient investigation: sympathy via very bad health news. As the whole Fusion GPS-Russian dossier scandal began to unravel away from President Trump and towards those who maliciously distributed it and the FBI's involvement, a new development occurred. As his doctors can't be compelled to verify, we can only go by McCain's word and what we see....

VIDEO: American Civil Rights Union Policy Board member Walter Williams explains how the Pilgrims planted the seeds of American self-sufficiency and saved the Massachusetts colony from a collectivist disaster.

At some point, you run out of ways to squeeze more revenue out of the public and reality sets in; the same reality that walks in county facilities and are met with more indifference than compassion, which is why it's hard to feel much sympathy for some of these fat-and-panicked employees that have had secure jobs for decades.

If you were to consume any national American media outlets and sites, one could come to the conclusion that Republicans are THE problem when it comes to sexual abuse in the United States, especially ONE Republican in particular. But if you were to try and keep up with the tally of reported sexual abusers in the current scandal cycle, it's clear sexual abuse IS a geographical (Hollywood, New York City, and Washington, D.C.) and very partisan epidemic.

Ask a drunk Mel Gibson what happens when one crosses the antisemitism line. However, it appears if you're a pro-Palestinian college student or liberal so-called comedienne on Free Speech TV, disparaging Jews is tolerated, if not encouraged. With that, we wish to share with you the following exchange from The Stephanie Miller Show on SiriusXM's Progress channel ("Home of the Resistance"). We'll give Stephanie and her guests the benefit of the doubt of being sober at the time....

Elected Republican senators have been recent targets of shooting and beatings and one would think elected Democrats would tone their political taunts down since. Sadly, this is not the case as one Democrat after another appeared at an anti "tax reform" rally on Capitol Hill November 15th and the word of the day appeared to be "kill". California Democrat congressman Alan Lowenthal took direct aim....

As we all know, crimes like shoplifting are punished harshly by Chinese authorities, especially when committed by foreigners. The previous administration allowed Americans to languish in horrific foreign prisons for crimes far less egregious, yet President Trump wasted little time to bring up the accused UCLA players with expeditious, definitive results. Of course, the black activist left will never acknowledge President Trump's intervention in what could have been a long, drawn-out State Department negotiation that normally leaves the detained Americans in nasty jails for weeks, months, or worse. They'll probably insist President Trump was simply doing his job and probably...

The following is in response to the Democrat attack on President Bush’s 2007 State of the Union address. To the Men and Women of the United States Armed Forces.... With all the political events of the past week, I was going to issue you an apology. Seeing how the people of whom I would be apologizing for are self-centered, self-righteous, better-than-anyone citizens of our great nation, let it suffice to say I am more disgusted than anything else.

With the unfortunate aftermath of the church shooting in Texas, the liberal left and their media has yet again taken this as a "crisis" not wasted. But there was a particular posting from October 4th that came across the radar that peaked attention because despite the carnage that happens daily in Democrat, gun-controlled meccas like Chicago (which mainly involves politically insignificant black people), the BBC highlighted the fact that most "mass" shootings are mostly carried out by "white" men.

All this time, the Democrats and their media pushed the narrative that Russia promoted Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the last presidential election. But it turns out, by their own admission, Facebook ran ads that, if anything, triggered sore-loser liberals into disputing the legitimacy of the election of Donald J. Trump and we all know what's happened since.

One of the many reasons Donald Trump won the presidency was to push back on the many progressive causes imposed on the American people without discussion until after the fact. Promotion of gender-neutral confusion is pushed on the nation's children at school, at times without the knowledge and/or consent of the parents because enlightened liberals know better. With that, Halloween has now become another American holiday tradition under assault by politically correct, easily triggered liberals and they've taken yet another opportunity to push their agenda in the faces of Americans in what one group considers "heartwarming".

If the media tells you the Mueller investigation is focusing in on the Trump campaign and collusion with the Russian, look at the Clinton campaign and what's always been the Achilles heel of Bill and Hillary Clinton: money and whomever will give it to them.

General John Kelly told the president that calling Gold Star widows might not be a good idea. It was probably because it was at a time when emotions were tender. It's also clear because as in most things today, there's an opportunity to have things politicized by those ready, willing, and able to exploit such calls for political purposes.

Politicians pontificate, activists justify, eggshell-walking liberals excuse, millionaire athletes kneel, and when it comes to negative encounters with law enforcement, some blacks make all blacks look bad. The racist white liberal/cowardly conservative media hardly ever condemns this kind of animal behavior out of the kneejerk fear of being called racist, even though it's racist to patronize this behavior by not condemning it; finding blacks who are tired of being lumped in with this behavior.

There are many politicians, especially on the federal level who've never served, sought and obtained deferments, and some who've embellished aspects of their time in to get elected. But there are some things that those who've never served should never interject themselves into. Many of us who served know of at least one person who died during an op. We all have our personal ways of dealing with such an event and if I may be so bold, I don't think any of us would take offense at the term "knew what he signed up for".

The left assumed the next president would continue the legacy of Barack Obama precisely because it was what THEY wanted and Republicans, respectful of the election process, didn't take to the streets like spoiled children. Instead, Republicans elected politicians they hoped would #resist his policies. So much for that. As a result of the election of President Donald J. Trump, some on the left are planning to invoke the 25th Amendment in an attempt to have him removed because in their wisdom and benevolence, they believe he's a dangerous narcissist in undoing the wonderful legacy of Barack Obama. They would...

Be very skeptical of the screeching media, demanding to know why aspects of FEMA recovery efforts aren't happening as fast as they determine it should be. Lying to the American people is something expected. Intentionally causing misery for political gain is also expected of Democrats, no matter how benign-to-lethal that misery will be.

You've probably heard many misinformed reasons online why the NFL owners are squishy on allowing players to protest during the playing of our national anthem. Aside from the unpredictable, mediocre play coming from players who have yet one more unrelated distraction occupying valuable time during the week all the way up to kickoff, it comes down to two reasons....

As you know, I always like to look at a situation as if it were the other way around. Let's say there was a conservative event that centered around the removal of Barack Obama because he was this dangerous narcissist who was undoing policies they liked. Let's say this conservative event of around 50 people, only TWO of whom were black and ONE other working, told the ONLY black videographer he had to leave and escorted him out in a rather humiliating fashion. Chances are that black videographer would be doing the rounds on CNN, MSNBC, maybe ABC This Week,...
