Free Republic

Taxes and the Peter Principle: it's been quite a few years since Laurence J. Peter wrote his book about the result of uncontrolled promotions in an organization. What struck me is that this Principle can also be applied to uncontrolled debt spending by government.

Democrats may be in for a wake-up call in New Hampshire as early polling suggests Republicans could easily win a Senate seat in the blue state. Former Republican Governor Chris Sununu leads Democratic Congressman Chris Pappas (D-NH) by a sizable 53% to 44% margin in a hypothetical 2026 Senate race, according to a newly released poll. While neither Sununu nor Pappas has formally declared their candidacy, both are expected to run, and the numbers show an early advantage for the GOP in a state that has leaned Democratic in recent cycles. If these figures hold, it would represent a major...

Seeing the paralyzing campaign by liberal judges, obviously recruited by libs. How come Trumpists can't do the same to counter it?

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, let's be honest. Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy are opposed by the lobbyists. That's who opposes them, right? Bobby Kennedy is opposed by pharma and agg lobbyists. Tulsi Gabbard is opposed by lobbyists acting on behalf of foreign countries. That's a fact. So there is no reason that lobbyists should take precedence over the population of the United States. And so why wouldn't you say to--

The USA needs a 4 party federal political system aligned across two spectrums of a Cartesian Coordinate plane: 1) Liberal vs Conservative 2) Establishment vs Populist The four parties would thus be identified in each of the four quadrants as: 1) liberal establishment 2) liberal populist 3) conservative establishment. 4) conservative populist. In this way, it were more closely align political interests to party affiliations. In addition, it would necessarily take caucusing of 2 to 3 parties to establish a majority. No one party would be able to dominate the political agenda. This system would more likely achieve with the...

The epicenter was about 42 miles west-southwest of Ferndale and 54 miles west-southwest of Eureka. The National Weather Service has issued a tsunami warning as a result of the quake. The Tsunami Warning is in effect for coastal regions from California to Oregon. Anyone near coastal waters is advised to move to high ground immediately, according to the San Jose Fire Department. Bay Area Rapid Transit announced that BART service in the Transbay Tube was halted in all directions in response to the quake.

The Gateway Pundit has obtained damning excerpts from Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer’s June 21, 2024, deposition transcript in his defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake and her husband, showing that Richer contemplated running for Senate to “make life hell for Kari Lake” and admitted that he is “anti-MAGA” shortly after the rigged 2022 election where 60% of voting machines failed on election day in Maricopa County. Of course, he made it clear to the public that he is anti-MAGA after he founded the Pro-Democracy Republicans dark money PAC to eliminate candidates with a MAGA agenda, admitted to voting for Democrats...

As more ballots are counted, the gap is closing dramatically... as much as half since last night and only 68% reporting

We've seen a lot of momentum going in the direction of former President Donald Trump in the last couple of weeks in the polls. In that time, he's even taken over the popular vote poll. He's now leading by 0.5 in the national vote, 48.5 to 48. He's also up 1.0 in the battleground states. But there are a couple of interesting things to note, including a new shock poll from Echelon Insights, which is a well-thought of poll. The most interesting thing is what it has to say about Pennsylvania. It has Trump up by 6 points head to...

New Mexico is on the verge of living a real, not imagined, dystopia of one-party rule. The one party is the radical progressive Democrats. The New Mexico House and Senate already have overwhelming majorities of these progressives — many hand-picked and endorsed by my opponent, Martin Heinrich. A dystopia is the opposite of a utopia. In a dystopia, one party rules; the citizens chant slogans, don’t think and don’t connect the dots regarding actions and consequences. It is a society where there is no common sense. Progressives want to ban fracking. Martin Heinrich doesn’t think public lands should be used...

16:52 Video of a black mother's story who was arrested by Kamala I dare anyone contemplating to vote for KH to find and watch this true story of a black mom telling what KH really has done rather than who or what she claims to have done and or claims to do for black people. This evidence is of the heartless and sickening corruptness of KH and what KH did to this family.

I've been trying to figure out the rational why we are being called upon to vote early. Here is the potential rational as I see it. Early voting has the benefit of positive publicity before the election can be rigged while also allowing the Trump campaign to know where it needs to focus its attention. These points are valid but I fear that they provide the cheaters ample time to print off extra ballots. I've heard some say that this level of blatant cheating as seen in 2020 is being mitigated by an over abundance of lawyers at the polling...

Local News What to know about the Florida Senate race as Rick Scott and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell face off in 2024 election miami By Mauricio Maldonado Updated on: October 21, 2024 / 10:53 AM EDT / CBS Miami MIAMI - The Florida Senate race between incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Scott and Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is set to be one of the most closely watched contests in the 2024 election. The outcome could significantly influence the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Republicans currently hold a slim 49-to-47 seat majority, and this election's outcome could tip the balance. Scott, 71,...

Even Polymarket is skewed. If you note the buy/sell spread for Trumpster is -7.7 but when you look at Kameltoes the spread is +9.5 in the opposite direction. Totals should equal 100% but totals on buy is 99.2% and sell is 100.9%. I suspect there is bias in everything.

We were wondering if there would be another election-year letter by 51 Experts Who Hate Donald Trump, and lo and behold, we have not been disappointed. This year's letter is a doozy for how completely dumb it is. It's as if these supposedly well-connected politicos have been disconnected from reality for the last four years. For that reason alone, they should be widely mocked and ridiculed, and I'm here for it. This time around, the letter is written by people you've never heard of who used to work for people you have heard of. The political progeny of Mitt Romney...
