In an interview on CBS's "Sixty Minutes," outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted that "China has penetrated America's water treatment plants, electric grid, and other critical civilian infrastructure, and is lying 'in wait' for an opportunity to cyberattack at a time and place of its choosing." Most Americans have been led to believe that the FBI is a crackerjack outfit that is protecting the country against subversion. At least, that is the story promulgated by the mainstream media, TV shows, and movies. If the Chinese have subverted America during his watch why does Wray seem so relaxed now that he...

VIDEOIt was a ban that lasted only a few hours but, HOO-BOY, did it ever inspire mass panic among the TikTokers in the brief time TikTok was offline. Here we see the TikTokers trying to cope with life WITHOUT TikTok. Oh, and fortunately one savvy TikToker was able to give credit for the return of TikTok where credit was due... President Donald Trump.

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right nowA law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

The clock is ticking on whether or not the Chinese government-connected social media platform TikTok will "go dark" in the U.S. over the weekend, after the Supreme Court ruled Friday to uphold the law banning the site starting Jan. 19. The high court announced it would take up the case as an emergency review, with TikTok arguing a ban would violate the First Amendment to the Constitution. On Friday, TikTok warned in a statement that it would pull the plug Sunday, unless officials in the Biden administration step in and make a "definitive statement" reassuring the company it would not...

VIDEOThe TikTok ban goes into effect in just one day as of this writing. As you can see, many TikTokers have taken this news as the ultimate life destroying tragedy. However, the cavalry might soon be arriving to rescue them in the form of President Donald Trump. Since the ban takes effect on a Sunday that means the ban could be slow rolled until noon the following day when a REAL President officially takes office and freezes or reverses the ban. Oh, and for all you TikTokers now whining about the ban, if it reversed then you are expected to...

He built the world’s fastest car. He sends starships to space faster – and cheaper – than NASA. But what the world’s richest man is planning at a remote facility in Memphis may be his greatest achievement to date. Recently, earth’s most powerful billionaire revealed a giant AI supercomputer 10 times more powerful than the technology used to create ChatGPT. Some are even calling it a “ChatGPT killer.” The crazy part? He has plans to double its power in a matter of weeks … and double it again by this summer. It’s the new pinnacle of AI technology. World-famous venture...

It’s official: we now have perhaps the worst excuse from liberal media for Vice President Kamala Harris’s resounding defeat to Donald Trump. Since the election, Democratic Party operatives, liberal intellectuals and cable news hosts have served up a slew of excuses for the November disaster, everything from hate-fueled racism to plain old sexism. But Salon writer Amanda Marcotte has the worst excuse of them all: Kamala got shellacked because of Q-Anon-adjacent conspiracy theories. Marcotte writes that Americans who voted for Trump are addicted to conspiracy theories on social media, whereas the average Harris voter is someone who lives grounded in...

Hochultuah.

Editor’s Note: There are two conspiracy theories stemming from the arrest of Luigi Mangione for the murder of Brian Thompson. First, some are saying Mangione doesn’t seem to fit the mold of a cold-blooded assassin. This is sparked by the video of the killing showing what appears to be a calm and unwavering man taking a life with three shots even after his gun malfunctioned. Compare that to Mangione who was described as “trembling” and who apparently wet himself upon capture. The second conspiracy theory is that he was coerced by the Deep State in a modern version of MKUltra....

Google has infected and defaced a Babylon Bee satirical video so that viewers are forced to view "context" provide by arrogant leftists at Google. If Google can put its propaganda in a Babylon Bee article, it can also put "context" on all the posts on Freerepublic.com. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, Freepers.

An election conspiracy theory is spreading on social media alleging that billionaire Elon Musk hacked the 2024 election in favor of President-elect Donald Trump using his Starlink satellite internet company. Left-wing conspiracy theorists allege that Starlink, a satellite constellation developed by Musk's SpaceX designed to provide high-speed broadband internet across the globe, was connected to the voting machine supply chain. In 2020, right-wing conspiracy theories nearly upended the peaceful transfer of power after President Joe Biden's victory over then-President Trump. These false claims, some amplified by Trump leading up to the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, were widely condemned...

As votes continue to be counted, Donald Trump’s lead feels so massive that it’s hard to see how Kamala Harris didn’t significantly underperform the Biden Benchmark of 2020. She didn’t just blow it; she blew it bigly. In 2020, there were 81+ million votes cast for Biden and 74+ million cast for Trump — a grand total of over 155 million votes. Currently, there’s about 138 million total votes counted for the 2024 cycle. Trump is less than 3 million short of his 2020 benchmark, meaning the bulk of the almost 20 million vote deficit is coming from the Harris...

| It’s no secret that Matt Drudge (or whoever is running Drudge Report now) hates Donald Trump. The site that was in every conservatives’ bookmarks for years fell from grace when its true leftist love started appearing shortly after Donald Trump’s first victory. After his third victory (2020 stolen election notwithstanding), Drudge and his famous report are suffering. All of his top links are gone. Only the one headline remains above the columns: “WORLD IN SHOCK”. It links to a generic Associated Press election coverage story. There have been many theories about what happened to him and whether he still...

I don't have to tell you not to get cocky and to make sure every Trump-loving friend, family member, neighbor, and random acquaintance of yours gets out there and votes. But despite the narrative being pushed that this is a close election, there may be a chance that public pollsters who have been insistent that this race is going to be a nail-biter have been missing something big. On Monday, veteran GOP strategist Alex Castellanos suggested that pollsters might be missing a key indicator in their analyses. Pollsters have been getting it “wrong” in the final days of the 2024...

In case you have not been paying attention – leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls. This is taking place in state after state.
