Free Republic

We’ve seen that Democrats don’t seem to understand some of the basic principles of the Constitution. Or perhaps, more accurately, don’t seem to care about complying with it. We’ve also seen that they don’t understand that Joe Biden isn’t king. He doesn’t get to declare, by unilateral fiat, the cancellation of student debt. That’s not within his Constitutional power, no matter what Democratic politicians may think. But they wanted to do it to pay off their base for their votes. So, they threw a tantrum on the steps of the Supreme Court. All they understand is that they should get...

Don't play this b****it with me!.....

A bomb on a local FOX 13 news van in Salt Lake City fizzled out instead of blowing up on Friday, and police have two suspects in custody. Suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson is being held nearby. It was those sneaky Lutherans again. Just kidding. The suspects' names are Adeeb Nasir, age 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, age 31. The story slipped under the radar over the weekend, but investigators found that the bomb "had been lit but failed to function as designed," according to court documents revealed by CBS affiliate KUTV early Monday. On Sunday, the FBI...

Utah has had a lot to handle over the past week with the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk and hunting down his accused assassin. However, they had another disturbing issue to deal with, reports said on Sunday. Authorities are now saying that an "incendiary device" had been placed under a news media vehicle near an occupied building in Salt Lake City. It was discovered on Friday. The bomb had been lit, but it failed to function, according to the police. Police stated the device “constituted a significant threat to public safety.”The police took two men into custody...

Authorities in Utah say two men have been arrested on suspicion of placing an incendiary device under a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City. The bomb didn’t go off. Police and fire department bomb squads responded Friday when a suspicious device was found under the vehicle parked near an occupied building. Investigators determined the bomb “had been lit but failed to function as designed,” according to court records cited by CBS affiliate KUTV. The FBI identified two suspects and served a search warrant at a home in the Magna neighborhood west of the city’s downtown. Two men, ages 58...

Newsmax filed a lawsuit claiming that the Lachlan Murdoch-run news giant blocks competitors by coercing pay TV operators, threatening steep financial penalties if they add Newsmax.Newsmax‘s spat with Fox over right-leaning viewers erupted into a high-stakes clash on Wednesday when the upstart right-wing cable news channel sued the legacy media outfit for allegedly violating antitrust laws, opening another front in the battle over the legality of tying and bundling. In a lawsuit filed in Florida federal court, Newsmax alleges that Fox leverages its control of must-have channels to strongarm distributors into unfair terms. It points to a “coordinated, behind-the-scenes campaign”...

The Fox broadcast network, Fox News and other Fox owned TV stations may be pulled from YouTube TV in the coming days, as the two companies appear engaged in a carriage dispute that is bursting into public view. Fox on Monday began warnings customers that its channels were at risk of being pulled “unless Google engages in a meaningful way soon.” According to YouTube, the deadline for their agreement is 5 PM ET on Wednesday, Aug. 27. August and September are often critical times for carriage deals, as they coincide with the start of the NFL season. If the Fox...

Fox News’ resident leftist Jessica Tarlov has once again embarrassed herself, this time rushing to defend an illegal alien on social media before being forced to delete her tweet in disgrace. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that D.C. police tackled an illegal alien on the National Mall after he tried to flee. Video captured him shouting in Spanish, “Please! I’m not a criminal. I work here! I want to be with my family!” Without missing a beat, Tarlov rushed to X to blast Trump’s law-and-order approach. She wrote: “This doesn’t make D.C. safer. It’ll just make people not come to...

A Brief History of Tucker Carlson – From Conservative Star to Qatar’s Mouthpiece Following the passing of conservative legend Rush Limbaugh and the fall of Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson emerged as a leading voice on the American right. His popularity soared during the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to his anti-establishment rhetoric and combative style. For a time, he filled a vacuum in conservative media, channeling public frustration into high ratings for Fox News. However, Carlson’s trajectory shifted in 2023 when he was abruptly ousted from Fox News. The dismissal followed a series of controversies—including a high-profile lawsuit by a former...

Is Abby Grossberg: Tucker Carlson’s “Mordecai”?Tucker Carlson has long trafficked in dog whistles and culture war grievances—but his rage toward Abby Grossberg, a Jewish former Fox producer who challenged him legally, seems to cut deeper. In classic authoritarian fashion, when confronted by a credible critic, Carlson didn't just fight back—he allegedly let that grudge fester into something uglier. Like Haman targeting Mordecai in the book of Wsthet [Esther 3:4] Purim story, Carlson’s hostility toward Grossberg hints at something broader and more dangerous: when a powerful man can't take accountability, he looks for someone to blame—and too often, it’s the same...

An international aid worker submitted a complaint to the USAID Inspector-General alleging that the UN and other programs were refusing any form of IDF help in feeding Gazans. An international aid worker submitted a whistleblower complaint to the USAID Inspector-General alleging that the UN, WFP, and associated international aid programs were effectively obstructing aid by refusing to work with the IDF despite repeated appeals, according to a report today (Friday) by Fox News. The whistleblower provided a "firsthand eyewitnessing of senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials offering any support necessary, including security protection and coordination, to representatives from the World...

Fox News news analyst Ellen Ratner relayed information from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to Texas businessman Ed Butowsky regarding Seth Rich’s role in transferring emails to Wikileaks, according to an amended lawsuit that I filed this morning on behalf of Mr. Butowsky. Although Ms. Ratner appears on Fox News, she is by no means a Republican or a conservative, and her role in the Seth Rich saga (like that of journalist Sy Hersh) obliterates the Democratic narrative that right-wing zealots fabricated the story about Mr. Rich leaking emails from the Democratic National Committee. Mr. Rich, a DNC employee, was murdered...

Former President Joe Biden only signed one pardon by hand during his final weeks in office, and it was his most controversial one. The Justice Department is reviewing the list of people granted pardons by Biden amid new concerns about his use of an autopen to automatically sign documents and concerns about his state of mind and mental acuity in his final months in office. Biden used his final weeks as commander in chief to grant clemency and pardon more than 1,500 people in what his White House described as the largest single-day act of clemency by a U.S. president....

When Fox News abruptly fired Tucker Carlson in April 2023, the timing wasn’t just suspicious; it was glaring. Red flags were waving everywhere. It all started around the time he was airing never-before-seen footage from January 6th, exposing cracks in the official narrative. At the time, many suspected Tucker’s termination wasn’t just about ratings or contracts; it was about control. Now, thanks to Tucker himself, we know those suspicions were dead on. Maybe more so than you ever realized. ... According to Tucker, right after he was fired, Rupert Murdoch approached him and asked him to run against President Trump....

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling on Fox News to fire Mark Levin over an “extremely sick and disturbing” post about her on X. The two conservative stars have been locked in battle this week over U.S. involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. In an interview on OAN’s The Matt Gaetz Show over the weekend, Greene said, “I can’t believe that Fox News allows one of their hosts to go around and call me names on his social media. That is so unprofessional and it really speaks to what kind of media company Fox News is.” Greene continued,...

Former FOX News host Tucker Carlson claims he "got fat" due to the demand of his former job while discussing it with former colleague Clayton Morris on his YouTube show Monday (June 23). “I just got fat,” Carlson said. “It’s incredibly hard physically. Everything about it is the hardest job I ever had.” Morris added that "people get cancer regularly" from working in "miserable" morning television during the discussion. Carlson's comment was the latest in his apparent rift with his former employer since his departure in April 2024. "What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning...

In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives – including CEO Antonio Mugica – of “spoliation of records” related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election. The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims. “On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. – who has since been federally indicted for those crimes –...

Smartmatic, the electronic tabulator company suing Fox News for alleged defamation following the 2020 election, failed in a February court hearing to disclose a meeting with Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman, newly unsealed court documents allege. Following the 2020 election, both Fox News and Newsmax “hosted commentators who aired concerns that tabulators were not secure, were vulnerable to voter fraud, and had possibly changed Trump votes to Biden votes,” as described in these pages by Logan Washburn. Smartmatic sued, arguing the comments amounted to defamation. Fox previously settled a suit with Dominion Voting over similar allegations while Newsmax recently settled with...

Americans lambasted President George H. W. Bush for infamously vowing on stage at the 1988 Republican National Convention not to raise taxes on Americans, then supporting a tax hike as president two years later. History could repeat itself as President Donald Trump this week signaled his support for congressional Republicans raising taxes to accomplish the ambitious goals of his "big, beautiful bill," according to experts. "My opponent won't rule out raising taxes, but I will. And the Congress will push me to raise taxes, and I'll say no. And they'll push and I'll say no. And they'll push again, and...
