Free Republic

After conducting a series of interviews, the Board of Governors of the New York Young Republican Club has learned that Matthew Tyrmand, a member of our Board of Advisors, may have engineered O’Keefe’s ouster on tenuous claims of financial malfeasance. O’Keefe is a close friend of the Club, and Tyrmand serves as a member of the Club’s Board of Advisors. Pending the outcome of an internal investigation, to be conducted by our Board of Governors, Matthew Tyrmand will be suspended from his role. We believe in free speech and transparency of operations, and the credible reports we have received require...

What is now called “woke” started with the social engineering obsession of the “democratic managerial state” and the threat it represented to traditional social relations. Chronicles began as a recognizably Boomer publication. As an early contributor to the magazine, I noticed that its founders, Rockford College President John Howard as publisher and the Polish émigré writer Leopold Tyrmand as editor, held what were establishment conservative views for the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were exceedingly high on Ronald Reagan, whom they regarded as the great champion of our “ way of life” against our pervasive Communist foes. Opposing world...

Sen. Marco Rubio will succeed Antony Blinken as secretary of State. Rubio has spent most of his political career promoting neoconservative orthodoxy and advocating U.S. military interventions abroad. Until his supposed MAGA conversion two years ago he had never seen a war he did not like and praised George W. Bush’s Iraq disaster as late as 2016... Rubio reportedly was close to the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson and other big neocon donors, and has supported illegal settlement building in the West Bank as well as suggesting that the U.S. may have to go to war with Iran over its nuclear...

Having forced myself to listen to most of the Republican National Convention (RNC) orations in late August, I was struck by what my daughter, who had done such work professionally, characterized as the program’s “underlying marketing strategy.” The GOP’s advisers seem to have pitched their message at the demographics among whom Trump has had the least support in the polls, namely suburban, college-educated women, and blacks. Trump, according to the polls, was losing the former group until recently by about 20 percentage points, and may be winning the votes of no more than 8 percent of blacks. The overall size...

The antifascist left, about which I have just finished writing a book, resembles the Nazis in a striking way, particularly when these earlier advocates of violence were on their way to power. I am drawing this parallel while being fully aware of the qualifications that I am constrained to offer. I am aware that, unlike the Nazis, American Antifa loathe their own race and nation and are doing everything possible to weaken them. They also favor filling their country with third world immigrants, preferably non-Christian, to change its inherited cultural and ethnic character. Further, these rioters and subversives are working...

Does any one here subscribe to Chronicles? I am looking for conversation. opinion, disagreement.

I have been a subscriber to National Review for a number of years. I have found its political content within the past few years, to be more focused on the status quo. I still read it for its film and book reviews, but it has lost a lot of ground. I also subscribe to both Chronicles and First Things and the Atlantic (to find out what the elite are supposed to think). Chronicles has always been a little bit edgy and sometimes, IMHO, a little over the top. However, I have seen that recently it has broadened its outlook and...

2 Chronicles 14:7 And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building. Nehemiah 4:18 For every one of the builders was girded with a sword about his reins. And they built, and sounded with a trumpet by me.

Hey all. Long-time lurker, first time poster. I was wondering if anyone could help me fill a request. I'm looking for back issues of Chronicles magazine, the "paleo-conservative" publication. However, I can't find any issues on amazon, ebay, or any other site. It's a fairly obscure magazine today, although it was much more popular in the 80s and 90s, from what I understand. I know you freepers are a resourceful bunch. I was hoping one of you might have some old issues you don't want anymore that I could have. I subscribed to National Review for a few years, but...

How quickly Great Britain is descending into darkness. Those who have been appointed to defend her are the ones most responsible for their nation’s certain future of chaos and violence. And the British intelligentsia, as they head to their own destruction and that of their nation, will congratulate themselves that they didn’t give way to the temptation of “Islamophobia.” It used to be that the free world stood together and said, “Never again.” Now a cowed, dhimmi, dying Britain bows low before arrogant and aggressive Islamic supremacists and says, “How about another round?” “Letters: Ancient hatred stalks the land once...

California, once the American Mecca of milk and honey, has fallen on hard times. Though its degradation and decline are largely self-inflicted, California’s condition is nonetheless an American tragedy and a dire portent for the rest of us. The state is fast becoming a colony and milk cow for Mexico, with a few enclaves occupied by Asians the way the British used to dominate Hong Kong and Singapore. Public spending and debt have reached catastrophic levels unmanageable by a society of self-centered individuals and interest groups. Gang warfare dominates the urban jungle. The state doubtless leads the Union in foreigners,...

I hope not but unfortunately what I am seeing and hearing in my sliver of America explains the recent presidential polls. There has never before existed in America - a time of greater national ignorance and depravity than in 2012.... (Continued/Vlog)

Chronicling the Events of our Times By Ari Bussel This Postcard, like all others in this series, is about a period of time in the chronology of the Jewish People. The series attempts to weave a picture from individual incidents, using bits and pieces to create a whole. Once a general frame of reference has been created, it is then time to zoom in, go into more depth, filling the rendering with sight, sound, emotion and texture. Future readers would attempt to decipher what was it like to live during these dangerous times and how they led to where they...

(good for putting down right-wing bigots at cocktail parties or in the classroom) Taking off your shoes at the airport is patriotic and makes you safer. If college athletes fail academically it is obviously society’s fault. HIV is an unfortunate virus and not caused by human behaviour. Presidents are good and do what is best for us, except Nixon. Poverty causes crime and if we eliminate poverty we can eliminate crime. America has always been a nation of immigrants. Diversity is a wonderful thing. Everybody should be required to accept it. Excellence in education and equality in education are the...

Increasingly, I find it impossible to read a newspaper, listen to NPR, or even to check out what my favorite columnists are opining these days. Part of my lack of interest stems from my cultural, moral, and spiritual detachment from life in these United States. But this personal secession is only a part of my indifference. After all, my future is being damaged every day by the perverted children who make up 95% of the American political class at every level, from the superintendent of district 205, who is throwing away a great deal of tax money in a largely...
