Our public libraries have been taken over by liberal ideologues and nowhere has this been more evident than at the American Library Association (ALA) annual conference held last month in Washington DC. The world’s largest library conference, attended by 21,460 people, featured over 100 workshops with the theme “equity, diversity, and inclusion.” As you would expect, these workshops included topics such as Drag Queen Storytimes, LGBT issues, non-traditional families, minors’ “rights” to privacy, and gender confusion. According to The Federalist, “Politically charged talks and workshops like these formed at least one-third of the conference offerings.” Of all the different themes...

I'm a translator and I use SpanishDict.com in order to translate some words. I was fiddling around today and decided to see if "Donald Trump" had a translation in Spanish. In years past, we used to call George Bush "Jorge Arbusto" because that's the literal translation in Spanish. Well, imagine my surprise this morning when I put in "Donald Trump" in the search bar -- the actual translation was "Orange" or "Naranja" (which is orange in Spanish). I screenshot it on my iPhone, but do not know how to post images onto Free Republic. I'm hoping someone goes to the...

The word coming out of Belmarsh Prison in London is that it's two most famous prisoners ended up being close enough in their solitary confinement cells to talk to each other. Danny Tommo, who's been a channel of communication for Tommy Robinson to the outside world, tweets that a prisoner was moved into a cell above Tommy's and it was none other than Julian Assange....

Back in the day, I was one of the first people to start using Google as a search engine. I liked it’s clean interface, and simplicity. Of course, over the years, other people also found this to be the preferential search engine. Unfortunately, Google became big, powerful and yes, evil. They siphon up your personal information with zero regard to fourth amendment protections. They sell the information to the highest bidder, and give it away for free if the person is part of a government agency. Unfortunately, people like myself VALUE privacy. And that means that I no longer can...

How do you become “dangerous”? Writer and Portland-based podcaster Nancy Rommelmann would have thought she was the last person to answer that question — until she publicly dared to raise some questions about the #MeToo movement. Then her life suddenly changed and she became public enemy number one. She tells her astonishing story — what happened and why — in this compelling video.

More than 70 people protested outside of an ICE Detention Center and nearby Amazon Fulfillment Facility in Elizabeth on Sunday amid planned raids targeting at least 2,000 immigrants nationwide. Sweat dripping down their brows in 90 degree temperatures, protestors held signs such as “Family’s belong together” and “No Tech 4 ICE." They called for Amazon to end its partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and close any federal contracts supporting the Trump administration’s “anti-immigrant agenda," they said. One protester, who asked to be identified only his first name, Mario, said he knows what it’s like to be detained by...

We all know Facebook is anti-Conservative, and they are doing a variety of underhanded things to remove Conservative voices from their "unbiased" platform. Well, they got me a couple of weeks ago --- in a new and interesting way. One of my totally apolitical posts on my Business Facebook page "went viral" to my surprise. Yes, I post political messages all the time on my Political page, that started out as my Campaign page in 2012. The viral post was on a different Business page, and about a cat. So, I get this message from Facebook: "You can't publish as...

VIDEO This video reveals how YouTube is shadow banning vidos it wants to suppress by not allowing them to show up in their search engine. As you will see, even when the search is filtered according to UPLOAD DATE, an objective criteria, YouTube will often refuse to allow many videos to appear in the search. I provide the very specific example of a video I uploaded on July 11 about Hunter Biden yet when you do a search according to upload date, it DOES NOT APPEAR. Next week, the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, chaired by Senator Ted Cruz, is...

If Amazon wants to sell books, maybe it ought to stop banning them! The company, which doesn't mind profiting from pornography, apparently does mind offering help for sexual confusion. After pressure from a single LGBT activist, the mega-retailer has decided to pull a series of titles from authors who once identified as gay. Now, a growing chorus of Americans is pressuring Amazon to stop the censorship. "These books have been life-saving instruments to some who have been struggling to find hope," Ethan Martin, who used to live as a gay man, told LifeSiteNews. "In taking these resources away, Amazon has...

George Orwell was a brilliant individual. A man of incredible insight – and foresight. In his unfathomably predictive novel 1984, Orwell warns of Big Brother: “(O)stensibly the leader of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling party Ingsoc wields total power ‘for its own sake’ over the inhabitants. “In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens.…The people are constantly reminded of this by the slogan ‘Big Brother is watching you’: a maxim that is ubiquitously on display. “In modern culture, the term ‘Big Brother’ has entered the lexicon as a...

May Heaven help other people of conscience to awaken to the wrongs being committed against the people in this Democratic Republic. It is yet not an oligarchy, and may it continue to remain a Land of Liberty, Apparently, the Obama Administration’s spying on the Trump Campaign in 2016 has not been considered criminal. Also, the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton is not being held liable or accountable for collusion with a British intelligence agent to derail Donald Trump’s campaign, or his legitimate election victory. And, since leaders within the DOJ and the FBI are not accountable for their involvement in...

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla) is demanding that persons who mock members of Congress be prosecuted. "The Constitution says that members of Congress shall not be questioned in any other place," Wilson asserted. "Yet, even the shallowest dive into the Internet bumps into numerous criticisms, insults and threats. Not a day goes by when someone isn't calling for voters to oust me from office. This has got to stop." "We're going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down and they should be prosecuted," the Congresswoman promised. "Freedom of speech does not protect 'hate speech.'...

In their continuing quest to disarm the law-abiding segment of the US population, some key Democrats are envisioning a technological path toward this objective. At the state level, Gov. Phil Murphy (NJ) pledges to sign legislation requiring every firearms dealer in the state to sell smart guns as soon as they become available from manufacturers. At the national level, former Vice-President Joe Biden is calling for "smart guns" to be made mandatory. Biden claimed that "if James Bond is willing to use a smart gun, then lesser skilled law-enforcement officers and private individuals should be required to use them. Right...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton abruptly canceled her scheduled appearance at the FireEye Cyber Defense Summit set for this coming October. Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill explained that "this conference is for the world's leading security experts. It was decided that an appearance by the Secretary would undermine her claim that she used an unsecured email server and destroyed a dozen communications devices that were under subpoena out of ignorance and unfamiliarity with using computers and cell phones. We felt it would be better for her to adopt a position that as an aging person who grew up before such...
