A court filing made public this week reveals that Fox News hosts including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham were privately critical of Donald Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen, with Carlson going so far as to call the former president "demonic." -snip- Carlson called Trump "a demonic force" and worried the president would "destroy" Fox News Carlson, in other conversations in the wake of the election, privately took aim at Trump himself, calling the then-president "the undisputed world champion" of "destroying things," and worrying that he would "destroy us if we play it wrong." By Jan....

To be clear, though, from the outset, this article is not about me. It is about the question of what it means to be a conservative. I simply use myself as an example. My question for consideration is this. If you have voted exclusively Republican for decades (including voting for Trump in 2016 and 2020), you are a staunch, Bible-based moral conservative on marriage and family issues, and you have consistently spoken out against the leftwing, Democratic agenda, how do you then become a “closet liberal”? According to one commenter (with reference to me): “This writer is a closet liberal....

Apparently this never got posted here because of the limitations of probation, so here you go: So...here we are...18 years. Mostly good. Clintons a Liar, Dr Raouls costumes, AppyPappy's daughter singing the National Anthem, Kristinns wonderful reporting. The repugnant lies of Classy Green Eyed Blonde and DeepInTheHurtgenForest. The surreal cryptic posts of quidam. The lib trolls like Eschoir. The March for Justice? Heady times. They really were. Fighting against a President who had the gall to look us in the eye and lie to us. But the last 9 months? Absolutely unrecognizable. A lot of great FReepers run off. And...

The mainstream media are focusing on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's increasing popularity among Republican Iowa caucus-goers and his showing this past weekend at the annual Reagan Dinner in Iowa: Three of the top-tier Republican presidential candidates—Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain—failed to show at the seventh annual Reagan Dinner in Iowa Saturday night, unwisely ceding the floor to the six remaining GOP hopefuls. Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson took advantage of the absences.... Rising in the Iowa polls, Huckabee used his time on the stage to assure the crowd against one of his biggest criticisms by some in...

She called for increased funding for legal services for the poor and suggested that taxes might have to be raised to achieve the notion of "justice for all." She praised the benefits of diversity, called for measures that would send more minority students to law schools, and said that just because a woman was the head of the state bar did not mean that "all unfair barriers for women have been eradicated." She was upset that although poverty was rising in Texas, impoverished families received a disproportionately small share of welfare and Medicaid benefits. ... Dallas lawyer Mark Curriden said...

I stumbled upon a terrorist symphatising website called Jihad Unspun at this address : http://www.jihadunspun.com/home.php At the main title page, if you look at the banner at the top of the site, you may notice that the website authors have changed the 20th Century Fox logo to become 21st Century War.My question is,is this a violation of copyright since the author used the original logo and changed it?If so is it possible to complain it to any relevant people (20th century fox themselve,etc.) of the misuse of this logo on a website supporting terrorists?! The website owner's email is bkennedy@jihadunspun.net...

The Republican promises of smaller, less intrusive government is getting harder to believe. Especially when a more plausible plot line is unfolding every day: that the GOP has put aside the ideals of Reagan and Goldwater in order to pursue a political strategy based on big spending.For the latest, check out a report just released by the libertarian Cato Institute that tells a striking story about just how out-of-control spending has gotten under President Bush.-Bush has presided over the largest increase in federal spending since Lyndon Johnson.-Even excluding defense and homeland security spending, Bush is the biggest-spending President in 30...

On his radio show The Savage Nation, long time Bush basher and San Francisco nutcase Michael Savage surpassed his own psychotic behavior last night during a program devoted to discussion of the Kinsey report and the Tsunami disaster. After declaring that he felt no sympathy, grief or sorrow over the 150000 Tsunami deaths, he intoned "I would rather talk about pornography". He conceded that when he first saw the video reports of the disaster, his first instinct was that he was "worried about the elephants, but then felt better after I learned that they were doing fine." Later in the...

SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger hinted that raising taxes may be unavoidable, acknowledging he is under extreme pressure to increase the state's revenue to offset a $14 billion budget shortfall. Schwarzenegger, who has opposed new taxes, said on Tuesday it would be "wishful thinking" to assume the state would not increase taxes. "I'm going through wishful thinking that I'll never have to go there," Schwarzenegger said. "Because I just don't like it. I try to work around and find ways so we don't have to do that. So that's the stage I'm in right now." He said increasing taxes...
