Free Republic

Our nation is facing multiple major crises. President Joe Biden’s leadership has been a series of unmitigated disasters and failures. Each follows right on the heels of the other, with seemingly no let up. Right here at home, Americans bear the burden of the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats' reckless spending. This fuels inflation which has hit 40 year highs. But what does this really mean? The average American is paying much more for gas and groceries. Crime is skyrocketing in our cities: from San Francisco to New York. Violent crime is spiking in those cities, and others, causing many...

No less than four threads on Free Republic allege that Governor DeSantis has received an endorsement from George Soros. Almost all reference a 0:47 video that has been making the rounds on social media.Here's the complete 2:41 video, transcribed by myself."Trump attracted a lot of non-educated, white followers but his biggest backers were the mega-rich, and he certainly delivered for them. First, he cut their taxes. Second, he nominated to the Supreme Court ideologues who embraced an extreme version of the Republican agenda. Third, he put the Republican Party under his control by threatening those who didn't swear loyalty to...

Ron DeSantis Wins the Coveted George Soros Endorsement – Describing DeSantis as “Shrewd, Ruthless and Ambitious”…February 16, 2023 | Sundance | 137 CommentsSaying that DeSantis “is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious”, George Soros delivers an endorsement of the Florida governor adding, “He is likely to be the Republican candidate.”When billionaire leftist and creepy globalist George Soros is complimenting your personality attributes, you just might be doing the whole Republican presidential candidate thing wrong. Just sayin’.WASHINGTON DC – In a wide-ranging speech, Soros ripped Trump’s presidency and complemented elements of DeSantis’s style. “DeSantis is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious,” said Soros, adding, “He...

Globalist billionaire George Soros predicted that Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will defeat former President Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination ahead of the 2024 election, and that Trump will run as a third-party candidate. "This could induce Trump, whose narcissism has turned into a disease, to run as a third-party candidate. This would lead to a Democratic landslide and force the Republican Party to reform itself," Soros said at the 2023 Munich Security Conference, according to the Washington Examiner. "DeSantis is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious," Soros continued. "He is likely to be the Republican candidate." Trump, he said,...

On Tuesday, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) published a piece in the Wall Street Journal explaining his reasoning for supporting former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination. The article, titled “Trump’s Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any Wars,” emphasized the 45th president’s foreign policy chops.Vance, who rose to prominence with his hit book “Hillbilly Elegy” in 2016, won the endorsement of President Trump during his run for Senate last year. Vance is seemingly returning the favor as the Republican contest for the presidency begins to take shape, as reported by Breitbart.“A few days before America’s 2022 midterm elections, Ukraine’s...

He has my support in 2024 because I know he won’t recklessly send Americans to fight overseas.A few days before America’s 2022 midterm elections, Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelensky accused Russia of firing a rocket into Poland. It was a claim with extraordinary implications. Poland, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, benefits from the alliance’s mutual defense pact—an attack against one is an attack against all. The U.S. would plausibly have an obligation to respond militarily to a Russian attack inside Poland. In making the accusation, Mr. Zelensky was pushing on the dominoes that could start the world’s first...

Herschel Walker’s 100,000-vote loss in Georgia puts the exclamation point on the “Donald Trump is electoral poison” narrative. If the former president had deliberately attempted to sabotage the Republicans' chances ever since November 2020, he could not have been more destructive than he actually was. In the Senate, the Trump effect meant Republicans lost chances at a whopping 10 seats (one of them two times!) they either should have won or in which they might have been competitive. In the House, Trump’s harm was more diffused, but almost equally baleful. On Jan. 5, 2021, Republicans lost two Senate seats in...

As Donald Trump prepares for his next run for the White House in 2024, he has already received endorsements.

She was an all-American in her freshman year and made the Southeastern Conference’s honor roll as a sophomore majoring in interdisciplinary studies. Ahead of the start of her junior season, Dunne is also at the leading edge of a movement shaking the old foundations of college sports: a female student athlete raking in cash thanks to the passage in 2021 of new rules allowing college athletes to sign name, image and likeness, or N.I.L., deals.

Oprah Winfrey on Thursday night turned on the TV doctor she propelled to stardom - saying she would vote for Dr Mehmet Oz's rival John Fetterman in their battle to be elected to the Senate. Oz, a Turkish-American surgeon, and Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, are neck-and-neck ahead of next week's election. Winfrey turned Oz into a household name when she appeared on his show in 2003, and invited him onto hers in 2004. He would go on to make more than 60 appearances on her hugely influential daytime show. Yet on Thursday, the 68-year-old media mogul said...

President Joe Biden has endorsed a transgender activist who describes women’s vaginas as merely a “Barbie pouch.” “I feel very, very strongly that you should have every single solitary right including [the] use of your gender identity [in] bathrooms in the public,” Biden told transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney during a Sunday evening campaign event in the White House. “Everything Mulvaney does is a parody of womanhood because he has no ability to understand what it is to actually be a woman,” Slatz told Breitbart News. Biden’s endorsement of Mulvaney “is further driving home just how much [Biden officials] don’t care...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is recording a robocall for underdog Senate contender Joe O’Dea, a boost for the Colorado Republican after former President Donald Trump urged grassroots conservatives to abandon his campaign. “Hello this is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. America needs strong leadership and desperately. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate. Colorado, please vote for Joe O’Dea,” DeSantis says in the robocall, a recording of which was provided to the Washington Examiner on Sunday by the O’Dea campaign. “I’ve watched Joe from a distance. And I’m impressed.” In endorsing O’Dea, DeSantis is charting a course separate...

Dr. Mehmet Oz, who earned former President Donald Trump’s primary-race endorsement in April, is going down in flames according to a new GOP poll. Republican-affiliated Public Opinion Strategies reports that surgeon-turned-TV-host Dr. Oz trails Democrat John Fetterman by nearly 20 points!Trump gave Oz his “complete and total endorsement” before the wide-open GOP primary of six candidates, a move that probably sealed the deal with Pennsylvania Republicans. The doc won in a squeaker, barely beating out second-place finisher David McCormick, 31.2% to 31.1%. The former president praised Oz’s positions on abortion, crime, the Second Amendment, border security, the military, education, energy...

In early July the race between Kari Lake and Karrin Taylor Robson for governor was a relatively close 39% to 31% split favoring Lake. On July 18, former Vice-President Mike Pence came to Arizona to publicly endorse Robson. Now Lake leads Robson 51% to 33%. A late surge of daily Robson mailers and a saturating barrage of TV ads appears to have been futile. A puzzled Pence wondered, "was it something I said? If it was, I am so sorry, I was only trying to help." If you missed any of the other Semi-News/Semi-Satire posts you can find them at......

Conservative commentator Kathy Barnette, who came in third in Pennsylvania's Senate Republican primary, is "having discussions" with Dr. Mehmet Oz's team about endorsing her former rival, she told the Washington Examiner in an interview Tuesday. For much of the campaign, the Pennsylvania GOP primary was centered on Oz, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and businessman Dave McCormick. The two nearly tied when all the votes were counted, with Oz coming out on top by less than 1,000 votes. Barnette began surging in the polls during the final days of the race, as the battle between Oz and...
