Free Republic

@mtgreenee We just said goodbye to our good friends Thomas and Carolyn Massie. The civil war in the Republican Party is successfully gutting the true America Firsters, like myself, Thomas and others. But I don’t think most Americans realize the extent of what’s happening, how bad it is, and what it’s going to produce. After taking the hard principled stand against war with Iran in June 2025 and releasing the Epstein files, the neocon controlled Republican establishment now backed by the President set out to destroy us. Thomas and I took two different routes but ended up in the same...

Robert Jenrick has confirmed Reform UK would ban the carrying of ceremonial blades like the Sikh Kirpan, which was held alongside another knife by murderer Vickrum Digwa. Speaking to GB News, the Reform economics spokesman said his party would end the existing legal protections that allow blades to be carried as part of a cultural practice. Mr Jenrick was questioned on the issue after Digwa, 23, was found guilty at Southampton Crown Court of murdering university student Henry Nowak. The 23-year-old was holding a 'Kirpan', a religious knife carried by initiated Sikhs as a mandatory article of faith. GB News...

Glenn Beck is sounding the alarm over Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new housing proposal, warning that he's laying the groundwork for expanded government control over private property.The new “Block by Block” housing plan includes taking aggressive legal action against landlords — and even transferring their properties to the tenants themselves.“Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers,” Mamdani said in a speech announcing his plan.

A Michigan grandpa was killed by the kidney donation he thought would save his life — because the organ donor was infected with rabies from a skunk in a medical nightmare that could affect other organ recipients, according to health officials. Barney Kurowicki, of Tecumseh, Michigan, had been on dialysis for two years when he received a kidney transplant from James Martin, a 59-year-old Idaho father of three, in December 2024, Scripps News reported this week. Martin had died the previous year of what his family believed was heart problems, said his widow Kim Martin told the outlet. “We had...

The individual who carried out a loud, steam >affair with an Obama federal judge has been unmasked as a prominent Atlanta policeman, causing the scandal to take another turn for the worse. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a special committee for the Eleventh Circuit discovered that a judge nominated by former President Barack Obama carried out a two-year sexual affair in her “chambers and during business hours” with a police commander. According to Bloomberg Law, the incidents all occurred within “earshot” of law clerks. On Thursday, Bloomberg Law identified the judge as Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia....

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin exploded during a test at the launch pad Thursday night, shaking nearby homes and briefly painting the sky orange. Blue Origin said its New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine-firing test being conducted ahead of a satellite launch planned for next week.

Marks of Missouri Valley was killed in a two-vehicle accident on northbound Interstate 29 near 25th Street in Council Bluffs late Monday afternoon.

The U.S. Postal Service reached a multiyear deal with DHL eCommerce for last-mile parcel delivery services in the United States expected to be worth more than $10 billion. He said DHL either had "to invest a ton of capital to build out an end-to-end network, or they need to partner with someone that has that last mile capability" like USPS. The deal is critical to the financially strapped USPS. Amazon.com said it had reached a new agreement with the U.S. Postal Service on package deliveries

Via the Associated Press, a familiar (if dispiriting) incident in space exploration: A rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin exploded during a test at the launch pad Thursday night, shaking nearby homes and briefly painting the sky orange. Blue Origin said its New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine-firing test being conducted ahead of a satellite launch planned for next week. No one was hurt, according to officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Watching this footage, it's kind of incredible that "no one was hurt!" VIDEO AT LINK............. The blowup from other angles is just as unbelievable: VIDEOS...

How Narcissistic Delusion, Hypocritical Hatred, and Ideological Psychosis Have Rendered the Modern Left a Public Menace…And Why Civilized Society Must Recommit the Unhinged Before the West Itself Is Institutionalized. Prologue “Insanity in individuals is something rare…but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” — Friedrich Nietzsche Nietzsche did not whisper this warning; he thundered it across the abyss of modernity, foreseeing the herd’s descent into collective derangement long before the therapeutic state and its ideological priests turned grievance into gospel. Today that prophecy has metastasized into living nightmare. The progressive left has not simply adopted bad ideas....

“. . . we are witnessing mass formation in real time, where the group delusion becomes the only permissible reality.” LH Grey on X. Stephen Colbert Smootchfest (with Jimmy Fallon, Smoochee). Last week, Stephen Colbert celebrated his May 21 departure from late-night TV by French-kissing his fellow late-night soul-mate hosts goodbye, perhaps to honor the French origins of the Woke political ideology that guided his rocket flight to fame — Michel Foucault (1926–1984), who argued that power was all that mattered and that you could talk any absurdity about sex, mental illness, and criminality into mass belief. . . Jacques...

Sir Paul McCartney has finally named an artist he would rank alongside his former band – pop queen Taylor Swift. In an interview with BBC Radio 2’s Tracks Of My Years, the 83-year-old music veteran expressed his admiration for the American pop singer, describing her as “clever” and a “very good” performer... He said: “You do see the parallel of the amount of fame and the worldwide fame that Taylor Swift has and that we had [as the Beatles]… But Swift questioned comparisons with the Beatles during an interview in December. Stephen Colbert, the host of The Late Show, suggested...

It's Friday! Once again, silliness returns!

A Virginia high school graduation descended into chaos when a spectator rushed the stage and attacked a student who was walking to receive his diploma. Evan J. Williams Jr., 20, was arrested Thursday and charged with disorderly conduct and damage to private property in connection with the brawl that broke out during John Marshall High School’s graduation ceremony at Virginia Commonwealth University, according to police. A 12-second viral video of the violence posted on Facebook shows the moment several attendees began to fight on the students’ special day in front of shocked family members just before 11 a.m. Wednesday at...

Deregulation, tax cuts, and a fundamental trust in the power of private enterprise across the Atlantic stand in sharp contrast to the sluggish, apathetic-socialist policies of Germany and the European Union -- and not in Europe’s favor. While German industry is pulling up stakes and heading for greener pastures, the United States is experiencing a small investment miracle. Through its deregulation agenda, the American government is proving the thesis that prosperity is created exclusively in the private sector -- not through state regulation. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz appears disoriented, whiny-apathetic, and remarkably weak in leadership these days. Perhaps the chancellor...

Pastor Jack takes a look at the Iran war. Video is 9 minutes long.

We are living through an age that has abandoned the dedicated pursuit of truth. Our politicians and news personalities talk about “the narrative.” Our academies teach young minds to accept “expert opinion.” Our philosophers argue that truth is “subjective.” Social theorists argue that truth is an “illusion” that powerful people use to control others. Whenever I hear Democrat Senator Cory Booker all riled up on television, he’s talking about “her truth,” “his truth,” or even “their truth” — as if a hundred conflicting descriptions of the same event could all be truthful. During Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, Democrats called Dr....

'Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & the Time will not be performing at the "Great American State Fair."' The Commodores subsequently announced that they would not be performing at Freedom 250.

'We support the betterment of all Americans.' Country music hitmaker Martina McBride also joined the list of cancellations on Thursday. 'I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading,' McBride wrote...
