Free Republic

The candidates' late slogging through the snow may not have mattered Strong conservatives, older voters, MAGA fans, 2020 election deniers and less-educated Iowa Republicans piled in to help Donald Trump win Iowa's Republican caucuses on Monday night amid punishingly cold weather and depressed overall turnout, according to an analysis of entrance poll results. The former president -- despite spending relatively minimal time in the state, despite past indications that the base was considering other options and despite notable challengers, who spent months campaigning against him -- had by far the widest margin of victory in any meaningfully contested Iowa Republican...

For Israel’s embattled but newly combative liberals, the fight against authoritarianism and ethnonationalism now takes place not only in the Knesset and the Supreme Court, but on buses, in city squares and in quiet residential streets..... Paywall It was a perfect tableau of Israel in the days of Netanyahu’s.....

Some conservatives argue American leftists always seem to need a boogeyman. When left-wing political activists are not demonizing MAGA Republicans, they’re aiming to marginalize patriotic Christ-followers by labeling them as “Christian nationalists.” So, what exactly is a “Christian nationalist”? These days it seems to only be a pejorative term leveled against conservatives by the establishment news media. Culture and religion analyst Alex McFarland of Alex McFarland Ministries spoke to CBN News for the “Set It Straight” segment of our weekly program, “The Global Lane”.

The Bible says a lot about demons, but as you read a passage you might have more questions like: Can demons read your mind? What powers do they really have? The truth about demons is far stranger, and more fascinating, than many have been lead to believe. In this video, I interview scholar Michael Heiser, author of DEMONS: WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY SAYS ABOUT THE POWERS OF DARKNESS.

FNC's Tucker Carlson warned that MSNBC is starting to sound like the radical racialist radio stations that instigated the Rwanda genocide: TUCKER CARLSON: In July of 1993, a radio station in Kigali, Rwanda, began openly attacking one of the country's main ethnic groups, the Tutsis. The radio station was called RTLM, but many remember it as simply Hutu Radio because its audience was primarily Hutu. According to Hutu radio, Tutsi people were responsible for virtually every bad thing that ever happened in Rwanda. Tutsis had way too much money. They had way too much power. Tutsis were way too privileged....

Comedian and commentator Russell Brand roasted Hillary Clinton and other liberals on Tuesday for tarring people they don’t agree with as “Nazis” and “fascists.” In a new YouTube video posted to his channel, Brand spoke about Hillary Clinton’s appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, where she compared a Trump rally in Ohio where his supporters raised index fingers in salute to the Roman salutes at rallies in Nazi Germany. “Hillary Clinton has called Trump supporters Nazis, but she has declared that she admires that new Italian leader who the left say is a ‘fascist,’ and also, though, aren’t...

Joe Biden launched a hate campaign against Trump voters on September 1. A wave of political violence against Republicans in the weeks since proves it worked. Like a modern-day Father Coughlin, at the beginning of the month, His Fraudulency Joe Biden stood in front of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia to demonize and dehumanize the 65 million Americans who dared not vote for Joe Biden. “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution,” Biden screamed during his primetime address while bathed in a satanic red glow. “They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not believe in...

President Joe Biden was flanked by two Marines and bathed in red light against a brick wall as he delivered a prime time address in which he told Americans that those he called “MAGA Republicans” were a threat to the United States and to American democracy. Biden delivered the speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the birthplace of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But the style of his address — carried on every news network — oddly recalled that of leaders in military juntas.

As thousands of protesters entered Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family were moved from their home to an undisclosed location somewhere in the city on Saturday afternoon due to security concerns, CBC reports.A "Freedom Convoy" of some 2,700 trucks entered the Canadian capital city of Ottawa Saturday to protest Trudeau's COVID-19 policies, Reuters reported.According to the Independent, around 100 big rigs blockaded a main street running past the Canadian parliament building.The convoy, which approached the capital from all sides, began as a protest against a vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border but grew into...

House Democrats appear to be making up more stuff about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in what’s become a routine practice for their latest hoax.Last week on the House floor, Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin read a text message sent to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows purportedly from a “House lawmaker” to overthrow President Joe Biden’s electoral college majority. “HERE’s an AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY,” the text read. “Why can t [sic] the states of [Georgia] [North Carolina] [Pennsylvania] and other R controlled state houses declare this is BS (where conflicts and election not called that night) and just...

If anyone has sacrificed the status of “normal,” it is Jennifer Rubin, not the Republican party. In a very crowded field, Jennifer Rubin stands out as possibly the most extreme case of Trump Derangement Syndrome among the former conservatives driven mad (in my opinion) by Donald Trump’s presidency. Her hatred of Trump and the party that now is dominated by him and his supporters is so extreme that she wants the media to stop treating it as a legitimate representative of the roughly half the populace that votes for it. Yesterday on MSNBC, she called for new “rules” that would...

If it weren’t clear before, it is now nakedly obvious the far left aims to silence all who question or disagree. It perversely misuses terms like “diversity” and “tolerance” for precisely the opposite ends — to enforce its ideology, stifle dissent, and prohibit any alternatives. The full-scale legal assault on faith-based schools is merely the latest example of its scorched-earth campaign.My son, a high school senior, plans to matriculate to a well-regarded rabbinical seminary in the fall. But let us imagine that he was so impressed by Baylor University’s NCAA men’s basketball victory that he suddenly changed his plans, wishing...

The relentless campaign to demonize supporters of President Trump entered the realm of self-parody this past week, with warnings that the U.S. Capitol and democracy itself were in danger on March 4 because QAnon saw that date as the real inauguration day. It was all balderdash, a PsyOp aimed at delegitimizing support for Trump or questioning the integrity of the presidential election. Even the Washington Post admitted there was nothing to it, calling the reports a "mirage." At the Capitol, a March 4 threat from militant Trump supporters proves a mirage https://t.co/pHUgunuHEN — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) March 4, 2021...

Several “national security experts” interviewed for an essay in The Root published on Thursday, attacked the Republican Party, claiming it behaves “like a terror group,” is rife with “terrorist sympathizers,” and should be viewed as “enemy combatants.” The essay, penned by senior reporter Terrell Jermaine Starr and titled “Democrats Are Stuck With a Republican Party Rife With Conspiracy Theorists, Anarchists and Terrorist Sympathizers,” begins by asserting that the GOP is “authoritarian” and only cares for whites. “[W]e have an entire political party that has converted into an authoritarian—albeit Americanized version—style of politics that cares nothing about U.S. democracy or anyone...

Transcript (H/T to Breitbart)CARLSON: Happy Friday. What a week. A lot going on in this country right now, but maybe the single biggest mystery when you take three steps back is why Democrats became so vicious after they won.So, Joe Biden got the White House, his party took the Congress, you’d think they’d be thrilled. That’s what they wanted. You think they’d be celebrating? But no. Instead they started a purge.Within hours, Democrats began crushing even the mildest dissent. They shut down an entire social media company called Parler, not because Parler had done anything wrong, but simply because they...

Washington -- On Nov. 7, Joe Biden stepped up to the mic somewhere beyond the confines of his basement and solemnly declared, "Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now." He was not talking about President Donald Trump's referring to him as "Sleepy Joe." Nor was he rebuking the president for joking about his repeated confusion over where he was when he delivered his latest address. Was it from Tulsa, Oklahoma, or from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or was he still in his basement? Joe was calling for an end to everyone's foul language and blood-curdling...

Asked to comment on the stabbing of a police officer at the Flint, Michigan airport by a man yelling "Allahu akbar," Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell says "we've really got to do something about the demonization that's leading to these kind of incidences." Dingell's district includes Dearborn, the US city with the highest proportion of Arab-Americans.

As we watch our nation becoming more and more divided, one troubling trend is accelerating with amazing speed: the increase in “-ist” accusations. If you’re white, you’re automatically a racist. If you’re a man, you’re automatically sexist. If you’re a boss, you’re automatically an oppressive capitalist. If you live in Idaho, you’re automatically a white supremacist (trust me on this). And on and on it goes. Judgmental. Hater. Intolerant. Phobic. Did I miss anything? Accusations of “-ist” became widespread because they were so effective. Ever try to engage a liberal in conversation? The moment – the moment! – you say...

Democrats routinely deride Republicans as extremists bent on coarsening the discourse. In January 2014, in the same interview in which he infamously claimed that ISIS was a “jayvee” team, President Obama blamed conservative media for polarizing the country: The issue has been the inability of my message to penetrate the Republican base so that they feel persuaded that I’m not the caricature that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, but I’m somebody who is interested in solving problems and is pretty practical, and that, actually, a lot of the things we’ve put in place worked better than people...
