Free Republic

The power brokers in today’s world aren’t shy about it but that doesn’t mean we must accept it. The rough beast whose hour has come round at last is the replacement of America’s constitutional republic with global governance. A critical mass of the country’s public servants, corporate heads and boards, academics, think tanks, religious leaders, and financial influencers, has intellectually accepted and promoted the loss of America as a sovereign nation. From one of America’s best-known families: Some even believe we [Rockefeller family] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my...

Many earnest but ill-informed Americans legitimately wonder how the economy could have done so well under former President Donald Trump yet go spectacularly south in such a short time under President Joe Biden. The answer to that question is straightforward. Trump doesn't believe that the government should run the economy. Biden and his puppet masters think the government should run the economy, and that they should run the government. They're wrong. There are at least two good reasons why no individual or small cadre of people should "run" the economy: First, people are frequently wrong, even in subjects they know...

Do you recognize Communism when you see it? It's being brought in to the United States and I fear the younger generation will not recognize it and accept it. An inch at a time... brick by brick... we are being controlled... we are being programmed to accept one mandate ... then another.. and we lose our freedoms with ever communistic act. The democrats are good at control. They do not like conservatives and Christians.. we are not so easily controlled. They have had free reign to do whatever they want and to continue to dig deeper into our freedoms. Do...

President Biden is signing an executive order on Monday intended to cut back on the bureaucracy around government services for the public such as renewing their passports, applying for loans or changing their name. The order, which Biden will sign on Monday afternoon on camera, affects 36 "customer experience improvement commitments" across 17 federal agencies. The order targets various government services dealing with travel, retirement, business, health and updating personal information, according to a White House fact sheet. For example, the order will call for a streamlined enrollment experience for retirees looking to enroll in Social Security, and it will...

Colorado may have paid $73 million in fraudulent unemployment benefits, with payments made to dead people, inmates and underage applicants, a state audit found, more than double the $30 million state labor officials had previously confirmed was improperly paid. TODAY’S UNDERWRITER “Despite the numerous steps that the department has taken to prevent and detect fraud, our audit identified likely or potentially fraudulent claims that the department didn’t identify,” Ethan Greenberg, senior auditor with the Colorado Office of the State Auditor, told the legislative audit committee hearing Monday. The auditor’s report found 8,200 unduplicated claims for $73.1 million in payments between...

Milwaukee, Wisconsin is grappling with an unprecedented spate of car thefts. Since last year, stolen vehicle reports in the city have more than doubled, according to WISN 12 ABC, and nearly tripled since 2019. At a rate of nearly 30 thefts per day, Milwaukee is on track to surpass 10,000 this year. By sheer volume, it outpaces Chicago—a city with six times Milwaukee's population. Worryingly, at least half of the suspected thieves are minors, and they have an unusual penchant for easy-to-steal Hyundais and Kias. This has led the city to seriously consider suing the automakers under its public nuisance...

Noncitizens in New York City would gain the right to vote in municipal elections under a measure approved Thursday by the City Council that would give access to the ballot box to 800,000 green card holders and so-called Dreamers. More than a dozen communities across the United States already allow noncitizens to cast ballots in local elections, including 11 towns in Maryland and two in Vermont. But New York City is the largest place by far to give voting rights to noncitizens. Noncitizens still wouldn’t be able to vote for president or members of Congress in federal races, or in...

BEDFORD, Ind. (AP) — General Motors is planning a $51 million upgrade at its aluminum die casting foundry in southern Indiana to support manufacturing of the upcoming electric Chevrolet Silverado pickup. GM said it will install state-of-the-art equipment at its sprawling Bedford plant, which this year began producing electric drive unit castings for the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup and 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, The Herald-Times reported. Production of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup will begin this month at GM’s Factory ZERO assembly plant, located in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan. “This investment is another example of the company...

U.S.—Progressives and conservatives alike were concerned after it was revealed that there is an evil, giant corporation that is literally murdering, imprisoning, and oppressing millions of people all around the world. The corporation is run by corrupt people, accountable to no one, makes trillions of dollars every year, and continues to enrich its wealthy elite shareholders by exploiting the poor and the middle class. Even worse, it was discovered that this corporation has a monopoly. Everyone agreed that it's well past time to keep this evil corporation accountable and that it should be broken up to prevent future oppression by...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Republican Party wanted to destroy the United States government, so they were “associating themselves with the ability of individuals to arm themselves against the government.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace, where does the sickness come from with a Christmas gift for a child was a gun, the child’s instability was known to the school, and communicated to the parents, and then two days later, Republican elected official whose salary is drawn from the United States taxpayer sends out gun porn asking Santa to bring ammo. How do we deal with the rot...

The Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston, Minn., can house 200 inmates, but this week, a 60-bed housing unit will close, cutting the jail capacity to 140. Tri-County Community Corrections is operated by Polk, Norman and Red Lake counties. The jail needs about 38 full-time officers to meet state staffing requirements, but Executive Director Andrew Larson says the rate of staff turnover has become unsustainable. "This year, for example, we've had 40 resignations through Nov. 30, 2021. Last year we had 20," said Larson. Staff departures have been climbing since 2016, but the issue reached a critical point this year....

Last week, President Biden announced several steps his administration will be taking to battle Covid-19 during the winter, which included updating international travel rules.On Monday, “the United States will tighten pre-departure testing protocols by requiring all inbound international travelers to test within one day of departure globally, regardless of nationality or vaccination status,” the White House said. “This tighter testing timeline provides an added degree of public health protection as scientists continue to assess the Omicron variant.”On the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website it explains what, exactly, will be required of passengers regarding testing before a flight. That’s...

Buried deep within the massive infrastructure legislation recently signed by resident Joe Biden is a little-noticed “safety” measure that will take effect in five years. Marketed to Congress as a benign tool to help prevent drunk driving, the measure will mandate that automobile manufacturers build into every car what amounts to a “vehicle kill switch.” As has become standard for legislative mandates passed by Congress, this measure is disturbingly short on details. What we do know is that the “safety” device must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may...

The Senate cut a deal on Thursday night to pave the way for passing a short-term government funding bill to avert a shutdown. Under the deal, the Senate will first vote Thursday night on an amendment from conservatives to defund President Biden’s vaccine mandate for larger employers, which is expected to fall short. Democrats agreed to allow the amendment vote at a simple-majority threshold. That means if every Republican and one Democrat voted for the amendment it would be added to the funding bill.

The federal government spies on every email, text, and call you make. It uses your phone's location services to pinpoint where you are at all times. It knows which I.P. addresses are associated with online comments that have been deemed "politically incorrect." Its partnerships with Amazon and Walmart let it know what you're reading and buying. Its partnerships with Google and Facebook let it know what you're thinking. Its partnerships with Twitter and Hollywood allow it to censor unapproved messages before too many brains have the opportunity to consider new thoughts. Its alliance with credit card companies allows it to...
