Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt) made the strongest argument yet for why we need to increase immigration, saying "if we don't have avenues for people to come here legally we're not going to have anybody around to do the jobs Americans are not willing to do. One of the more distasteful things each of us has to do is wipe our asses. The same hand we eat with comes within a thin piece of toilet paper of contacting our own excrement. We are a rich enough country to not have to do this ourselves. In past times many of the elite...

President Joe Biden should issue preemptive pardons to his political allies and those deemed to be on President-elect Donald Trump’s alleged “enemies list,” Democrats and their media allies believe. Delivering a preemptive pardon indicates an admission of guilt, although Democrats claim a preemptive pardon would only be intended to block Trump from targeting his political foes. Democrats and media elites list those deserving a preemptive pardon as Christopher Wray, Justice Department lawyers, Joe Biden (himself), the whole Biden family, Liz Cheney, Mark Milley, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Adam Kinzinger, among others.

All the top left wing “analysts” including Michael Moore, Bill Maher, Nate Silver, James Carville etc predicting a nice win for Kamala.

When it comes to elitists in America, a recent study has shown that they are wildly out of touch with the average, everyday American people on a lot of issues such as freedom and the economy. A project was recently conducted by prominent pollster Scott Rasmussen titled "Elite 1 Percent" goes into detail about who the one percent are and what their views are regarding American policies. According to the project, the elite one percent live in densely populated urban areas, make over $150K a year and have a postgraduate degree. "Too much freedom""The views and influence of the Elite...

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin has found herself at the center of a dispute between parents at the posh Ethical Culture Fieldston School in The Bronx over the conflict in Israel and the school’s reaction to it. Parents of Jewish children at the $63,000-per-year school have been appalled by incidents including anti-Israel graffiti on campus and a student — tormented by classmates with names like “ethnic cleanser” and “colonizer” — who witnessed a teacher giving a middle finger to a rabbi, according to his mother.

Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week made it impossible to deny his senility, yet the Western elite is gaslighting they were supposedly oblivious to this until now. Time Magazine published a piece titled “Inside Biden’s Debate Disaster and the Scramble to Quell Democratic Panic”, which was complemented by CNN’s about how “Foreign diplomats react with horror to Biden’s dismal debate performance”.Both make it seem like Biden’s senility is a surprise for everyone who knew him.The reality is that they knew about this all along but covered it up by lying that any claims to this effect were “Russian propaganda” and/or...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was rebuked as an "elite" during a recent Oxford Union debate, where she argued that populism in the United States is a threat to democracy. Pelosi — a self-described "devout" Catholic — said during the April 25 debate that certain Americans, whom she considered to be "poor souls who are looking for some answers," refuse to accept the answers Democrats give them on particular topics due to their beliefs about "guns, gays, [and] God." Challenging Pelosi's position in the debate about populism, Winston Marshall, a musician who was once a part of Mumford and...

“Smart Cities,” which are very similar to “15-Minute Cities,” are no longer theoretical. The infrastructure is already being implemented across the globe and plans are in the works to move us into them. Most of our audience will say they would never participate, but their options may be limited if they don’t get ready to push back BEFORE they’re rolled out. In the near future, there will be three types of places where people live in western society, particularly in the United States. Most will live in variations of the current major cities, packed into small geographic locations as these...

RUSSIA’S ‘Naked Partygate’ scandal deepened today when it was revealed Vladimir Putin personally ordered a crackdown on “debauched” revellers. He took time out from masterminding the war in Ukraine and his failing economy to crack the whip against Moscow stars whose risqué antics offended his frontline troops, reported Baza news outlet. Putin has cracked down on a scandalous party attended by Moscow elite – which included Russian singer Philipp Kirkorov (R) pictured with Nastya Ivleeva. Vladimir Putin’s goddaughter Ksenia Sobchak was forced to make a video apologyX-rated pictures and videos of a lurid two-day seasonal party held in club Mutabor...

According to sofi.com “Harvard University is known for being one of the oldest (if not the oldest) institutions of higher learning in the United States. Harvard tuition, which was $57,261 a year in 2022-23, is above the national average for four-year private nonprofit institutions of $39,400, though a high number of students receive student loans or scholarships to cover this cost.” In contrast, the ancient writer of proverbs tells us this. “Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?” (Pr 17:16)

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher urged students not to go to elite colleges because doing so “just makes you stupid” and that these elite schools are “a North Korean re-education camp” that are racist towards Asian applicants that don’t teach history and “if ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market.”

America’s leading universities have an antisemitism problem—and it starts at the top. This past week, university presidents and deans across the country wrote to their students and faculties to express concern in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas. What they said, and what they did not say, provides a window into the culture of intellectual and moral rot and cowardice that reigns at these once-great institutions. Those who attack Jews or Israel are all too often exempt from their excoriation. Hamas terrorists massacred some 1,300 Israelis, took approximately 200 hostages, most of them civilians, and left...

A year after moving into the Washington, D.C., home he spent about $25 million to build, Fox News anchor Bret Baier said his family is relocating to Palm Beach, Fla., and he is putting the house on the market for $31.9 million If it fetches its asking price, the home would set a record for the city, said listing agent Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who is marketing the home with colleague Jaclyn Mason. Baier is chief political anchor of Fox News, and anchor and executive editor of Special Report, a show on Fox. (Fox News parent Fox...

And instead of turning down the heat, they're clamping down a lid. In the history books, great social revolutions are often distilled into digestible reasons for their emergence. Rising unemployment, widespread illness, cultural upheaval, and rapid technological change have all been diagnosed as the proximate causes for various sudden shifts in society. If you look past those antiseptic historical autopsies, though, and concentrate on the feelings and passions of the people who experienced the revolutions firsthand, you will find another symptom present in every single movement for great change: popular rejection of ruling class lies. People despise lies, especially lies...

Former National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg claimed Thursday that small donors in the Republican primary were a problem “for democracy” and “just venting their spleen” rather than acting strategically. “Small donors in Iowa are more important as an indicator of grassroots support than anything else. But I also think we’re dealing with a time where there’s a lot of people, there’s a lot of cheering and self-congratulations about the rise of small donors a decade ago,” Goldberg told “Inside Politics” host Dana Bash. “Now small donors are one of the biggest problems for democracy, for the GOP. Because small donor...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has started moving border crossers and illegal aliens into recreation centers at parks in two of Brookyln’s ultra-liberal neighborhoods. Another migrant camp may soon be coming to Manhattan’s Central Park. At Sunset Park in Brooklyn, for instance, Adams’ office has relocated an unknown number of border crossers and illegal aliens to the park’s recreation center, which will almost certainly impact services for New Yorkers. The neighborhood’s precincts voted anywhere from 59 percent to 100 percent for President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Today, the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in...

Foreign policy “experts” vocally in favor of Ukraine called on Wednesday for bringing the embattled nation into NATO, which many say would risk a direct NATO-Russia war. Alexander Vindman, who was at the center of former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, former Russia ambassador Michael McFaul, former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), and other foreign policy “experts” released an op-ed on Politico Magazine ahead of the NATO summit:

In his annual letter to shareholders, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon suggested that the U.S. government and climate conscious corporations may have to seize citizen’s private property to enact climate initiatives while there still time to stave off climate disasters.

A few days ago Cardinal Pell was in good health. A few days ago, just before his sudden death, Cardinal Pell defined the Synod of Bishops called by Francis to deepen the theme of “synodality” and what the Church of the future should be like, a “TOXIC NIGHTMARE”. In the "secret" Vatican memo, Cardinal Pell wrote: "Commentators of every school, if for different reasons … agree that this pontificate is a disaster in many or most respects; a catastrophe." (Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most of the special formatting is lost, such as bold,...
