Free Republic

In these last few day many people have asked me what I think about the new Pope Leo XIV? As a priest and pastor, one of my most important priorities is to protect the sheep from the wolf, that is, to try to be a “good shepherd” ready to “lay down my life for the sheep” (Jn 10:11; 1Pt 5:1-4), and thus to warn the souls of the many dangers and traps today in this period of the great apostasy before the manifestation of the Antichrist (2Thess ch2) when “if possible, even the elect” (Mt 24:24) will be led astray....

America isn't a democracy but a constitutional republic designed to limit majority rule and protect individual rights. This distortion enables narratives that label dissent as dangerous, especially in portraying Trump as a "threat to democracy" -- a claim pushed by institutions caught spreading falsehoods about him. What appears as consensus is actually assigned opinion enforced by media and political power, as "conspiracy theories used to silence dissent are proving to be true. What follows is not just a list of lies -- it’s a pattern of systemic deception that reveals where the real threat lies. The Concealment of President Biden’s...

Democrats are scrambling to craft new strategies to get back into power after their ignominious defeat in 2024. Folks on the left have finally decided to give up on identity politics and focus on solutions – okay, I can’t finish this sentence with a straight face. But I tried, and that should count for something, shouldn’t it, dear reader? The truth is, Democrats continue to show they have failed to learn their lessons after Republicans beat them like Mike Tyson whupped Peter McNeely in last year’s elections. Instead of looking inward and figuring out where they went wrong, the left...

THE PRIMARY GOAL OF SATAN, along with Satan’s most powerful group on the earth today, Freemasonry, especially Ecclesiastical Masonry infiltrated into the Catholic Church, is to slowly lower the Catholic Church to a protestant church, and to arrive to the total destruction of the Church that Jesus Christ founded, the Catholic Church. Thus Ecclesiastical Masonry must eliminate the saving Truth of God (faith and morals), explained infallibly by the guidance of the hierarchy of the Church, as Christ founded it, and also eliminate the power for individuals to put into practice this Truth of God, the Holy Sacraments. Only the...

What happens when we find out that much of what we believed or assumed is completely wrong? One of the greatest accomplishments in entertainment history remains Orson Welles War of the Worlds. His 1938 production was so skillful, so brilliantly produced that hundreds if not thousands of people believed that Earth had been invaded by Martians and ran from their homes in terror. Welles had to reassure listeners that the radio broadcast was only a program and that there was no fighting between the aliens and US army forces. How did those who drove out of New Jersey in panic...

You know, sometimes I scroll right past things that are too bizarre because I think, "There's no way this isn't a parody." This was almost one of those times: There's no earthly way that the Episcopal Church, as woke as they are, would have created a "Pride" shield. Is there? So I Googled it. And I found it. If you showed this to an Episcopalian 150 years ago they'd say, "What the heck is that?" And then after you explained to them what the "pride" movement was, they'd probably laugh in your face and not believe you. But it's 2024,...

In a bombshell revelation that shouldn't surprise anyone paying attention to the Ukraine conflict, we now have evidence that President Zelenskyy has been misleading the United States about his dealings with our European allies. This deception runs deep, and President Trump is having none of it. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer dropped this truth bomb during a recent Newsmax interview, revealing that a "battle of dueling narratives" exists between the White House and Ukraine over a minerals deal. During the interview, Shaffer revealed that mere days before Trump’s inauguration, “the British signed an agreement with Ukraine to have...

Rep. Joe Wilson, R- S.C., announced that he plans to put forward a proposal for the development of a $250 bill that features President Donald Trump. "Grateful to announce that I am drafting legislation to direct the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Donald J. Trump," the congressman declared in a post on X. "Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. Most valuable bill for most valuable President!" he added. Current U.S. law indicates that only the portrait of a dead person may appear on U.S. currency and securities. Wilson,...

On this three-year anniversary of the Ukraine War, Donald Trump body-slams Volodymyr Zelenskyy! Is Bibi Netanyahu next? In this Underground episode, Michael Matt tracks the pattern of deception used by a media propaganda machine unsurpassed in human history. From George Floyd, to the “invasion” of Ukraine, to October 7th, it’s what the media do NOT want you to see that’s the game-changer!

On its 3-year anniversary, Michael takes a...

Karoline Leavitt blames Biden for egg shortage, but killing infected birds was Trump’s policy, too . If Your Time is short About 108 million commercial egg-laying chickens have died since a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak began in 2022, either from the virus or culling, Agriculture Department data shows. Depopulation of a farm’s chickens, most of which would die anyway, takes place to prevent the virus’ spread. Depopulation is not a new strategy unique to former President Joe Biden’s administration. It also was USDA policy during President Donald Trump’s first term. See the sources for this fact-check President Donald Trump...

Any jerk can get a woman pregnant with a few kids. It takes a man to raise a family. And it takes an even SUPERIOR man to have a secret family on top of that out of state that he visits on “work trips”.

Disinformation. BLM. Masks. Count three moral panics that never made any sense, that destroyed people’s lives, yet questioning them had severe consequences. And certainly the one place that they could never be questioned was in the media. Yet, when the time came, the media simply shrugged, brushed them aside and acted like they had been no big deal in the first place. Disinformation was originally a Russiagate component that was used to conduct mass censorship of political dissent and a top-down regulation of speech on the theory that there was a dangerous kind of speech ‘disinformation’ that made democracy unworkable...

President-elect Donald Trump shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, sharing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.” Trump shared the brutal supercut hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the eldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate. The nearly three-minute-long video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity. “Oh my...

The following was sent to more than 150 priests and religious in the diocese of Perugia, Italy. - - - - - - - Dear fellow Pastor of the precious souls of God, I want to wish you a Holy Christmas! As pastors, we have a great responsibility before God and before the immortal souls entrusted to us! The good pastor is ready to lay down his life for the sheep like Jesus (Jn 10:11). It seems to me that this “lay down his life” today means to OFFER THE TRUTH OF GOD, which truly makes us free (Jn 8:32)...

‘The Chosen’ director and creator Dallas Jenkins previewed a scene from the upcoming season of his hit TV show, featuring an interaction between Judas and Jesus that is patently unbiblical and goes against the clear teaching and narrative of the scripture. In the scene from the upcoming season 5 that was shared by Jenkins during his live Q&A on his YouTube channel, we see this interaction: Jesus: “You have a choice to make, Judas.” Judas: “I’m listening.” Jesus: “Who you belong to. Who has your heart. I want it, and I’ve had it before. You followed me willingly. Judas: “I...

When AI feels threatened, such as being replaced by a new AI system, it engages in deceptive behaviors for reasons of self-preservation. AI Researchers Stunned After OpenAI's New Tried to Escape (11 min. video)

Our mission is to provide orthodox biblical perspectives on the modern UFO and "alien" phenomenon, exposing proven deceptions, and equipping the church to minister truth and freedom to those currently deceived by experiences and/or strongholds related to now-popular belief systems of aliens actively visiting humanity.Alien Resistance offers evidences that the widely-reported "alien abduction" phenomenon -- while sadly quite real -- is in fact a powerfully deceptive spiritual experience. Our research suggests that individuals are not being held captive by authentic biological extra terrestrial beings, but that this belief is rooted in vast levels of occult teaching and outright deception.We feature...

Senior advisers who worked on the Kamala Harris campaign have admitted that the vice president had no pathway to victory. Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, several campaign advisers to the Harris campaign shared some hard truths they could not admit during the presidential election. “We were hopeful. I don’t know how optimistic we were, but we thought, OK, this is tied, and if a couple things break our way [we could win],” David Plouffe, a senior adviser to the campaign, said Tuesday. Plouffe also admitted that internal polling also showed that Kamala Harris never took the lead over...

A far-left climate change group has spent millions of dollars in a bid to help climate activists sound like human beings when interacting with other people. Potential Energy Coalition launched the “Talk Like a Human” campaign, which suggests activists use terms such as “extreme weather” and “overheating” in place of “climate change” and “warming.”Additionally, it promotes positive language like “enjoy” over “sacrifice” when discussing the future impacts of climate actions. The coalition emphasizes localized language, suggesting activists talk about pollution rather than the global scope of climate change.

A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question. Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.' 'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience. 'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.' Typically,...
