Free Republic

The United States is facing an existential threat. My guess is this summer will be the most violent, damaging domestic summer since the Civil War. And I predict the left will win and come out victorious on the other side. They will, after winning this new civil war, seek to eliminate the last vestiges of republicans. I use a small r because while some Republicans are true republicans, most are not. And when the left wins the war, those RINOs are going to “work with” Democrats to create the illusion that America is still a republic, but it won’t be....

When glib, elitist leftists fail to actually read and comprehend history, you get someone who is an incompetent history teacher and a soon-to-be former governor, like Tim Walz. The Minnesota Democrat actually had the nerve to suggest that federal enforcement of immigration laws in his state could trigger another civil war. (snip) All of this posturing is to detract from the fact that Walz is mired in the Somali fraud scandal in his state and could possibly wind up in jail over it. His hands are certainly not clean when it comes to the burgeoning corruption, and he has now...

WASHINGTON — The House Thursday passed four appropriations bills to fund the government and avert a partial shutdown, but Democrats largely objected to spending on the Department of Homeland Security amid aggressive immigration enforcement in communities across the country. ...

Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted against the DHS funding bill.

Landlord who tipped off ICE about illegal alien gang members faces investigation. The ‘sanctuary’ for illegal alien criminals movement began with radical activists harboring them in ‘churches’. That escalated to ordering law enforcement not to cooperate with immigration authorities. And from there sanctuary states like California began to penalize any law enforcement personnel who cooperated with ICE. Then came the riots, systemic harassment of immigration law enforcement personnel being coordinated from the top down, and now, in the next step, legal threats against American citizens who cooperate with ICE. Remember this massive raid on a hive of TdA gang members...

New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives were mistaken for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and reportedly treated rudely by hospital staff as they were seeking medical attention for wounds incurred in the line of duty. The detectives reportedly checked into the NYU Langone/Cobble Hill Hospital in Brooklyn following a violent altercation with a drug suspect. “[Hospital staff] were nasty to the officers in the waiting room, accused them of being ICE and suggested they go elsewhere,” one source told the New York Post. “They properly identified themselves,” another source said. “It’s despicable to attempt to deny care or suggest...

Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE. Far-left anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.

Several monuments on the Gettysburg Battlefield were recently defaced with oil, resulting in costly damage, according to park officials. In a release issued Friday, Jan. 9, 2025, the National Park Service at the Gettysburg National Military Park shared that several monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield had been "defaced with oil-based substances." "While possibly intended as symbolic or ritualistic, the damage is real and lasting," the release stated, adding that "porous stone absorbs oil deeply, making stains nearly impossible to remove."

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters." Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability." "From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote. He continued, "Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after...

As a general rule, I don’t want to see people hit by cars. At least, I used to not want to. And, I suppose, I still don’t, but I wouldn’t mind Democrats, in and out of the media, ALMOST hit by a car so they can experience that immediate fear that comes when it happens. Then they can lecture me about what the ICE officer who was actually hit by Renee Good should have done instead of defending himself from the idiot leftist who was either trying to kill him or so stupid that she’d put herself into a position...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Conflict between law enforcement and activists erupted outside an Orange Mound restaurant Sunday evening after a group of National Guard members was asked to leave the property. The Memphis Police Department was at the scene Sunday night, along with dozens of Memphis Safe Task Force members, outside Da Sammich Spot on Park Avenue, which has a posted sign banning ICE agents. Video shared by one of the activists protesting the National Guard’s presence showed National Guard troops standing by the sidewalk after being asked to leave the property before more reinforcements arrived, bringing dozens of National...

January 7, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. “Secretary Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. Secretary Noem wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area, and now, her rogue ICE agents have unleashed that same destruction in Minneapolis, fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good,” said Rep. Kelly. “From Chicago to Charlotte to Los Angeles to Minneapolis, Secretary Noem is...

Well, that escalated quickly. According to Tim Walz, Minnesota is at war with the federal government. He is calling out the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans against "rogue federal agents." Uh, wut? Even before the video came out that almost certainly showed that the woman who was unfortunately killed had surged her car and actually struck the federal agent who shot her, Minnesota's politicians ramped up the rhetoric, calling it murder and demanding that the federal government remove its law enforcement agents from the state. From everything I can see, Walz and Frey have been egging on the confrontations...

Last month, activists packed the Chicago Teachers Union Center for the annual conference of the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (NAARPR). Attendees gathered to discuss fighting ICE and confronting the Trump administration. Despite NAARPR’s relative obscurity—it was founded in 1973 to agitate for the release of Angela Davis and has since become a catch-all activist organization—the group’s conference featured several high-profile speakers, including Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, who claimed to have inherited a “white supremacist system.” The event was hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union, one of Johnson’s most aggressive backers. Johnson’s appearance, along with that of several...

Those on the left who label Robert E. Lee a traitor and call for statues of him to be torn down have no interest in the historical facts or good faith debate.On Tuesday, the Commonwealth of Virginia installed a new statue to represent the state in the U.S. Capitol. Virginia is one of the most storied states in the union. Some of the most prominent Founding Fathers were Virginians, and four of the first five presidents hailed from the Old Dominion. Out of countless worthy figures, Virginia chose … Barbara Rose Johns. Never heard of her? Well, don’t feel bad....

The video also showed the black student running back up to the stabbing victim after the attack screaming “white b*tch!” before he was stopped by another individual. Charges in the stabbing were pending after the incident.

How did more than $3 million in Civil War era gold coins end up in a farm field, somewhere in Kentucky? Everyone from the Washington Post to USA Today to major TV news networks covered this story last summer when it first broke, but in this segment you'll hear for the first time from the Lexington coin dealer who brokered the sale of the coins when he was first approached by the farmer who literally stumbled upon them. You'll also hear from a UK professor about why she thinks the coins were buried in the first place, and from some...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says that Somalians should call 911 if ICE shows up wearing masks to make arrests. He says police will "immediately respond" and "intervene." Interfering with immigration enforcement is a CRIME.
