On Thursday night, with midterm races still yet to be called in key states that will determine the balance of power in Congress, former President Donald Trump issued a statement targeting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who walloped Democrat Charlie Crist in one of the few clear GOP victories of what was supposed to be a national "red wave" night in repudiation of President Biden's agenda. Trump's lengthy statement began by using his new nickname for DeSantis — for whom he voted in Florida this week — "DeSanctimonious," and called him "an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations" who "has...

Russian TV Presenter: “The decision of our MoD has become known that we are withdrawing troops from the right bank of Dnieper, that is, we are leaving Kherson… Now, if you are expecting I will explain my opinion on this, then I won’t tell you anything. But I’ll explain why. If I support this decision [to withdraw] then this turns out to be a public call for violation of the territorial integrity of Russia in our criminal code… This is several years of imprisonment. If I do not support this decision and believe that the MoD [is wrong], these are...

This summer, the House GOP Study Committee unveiled a budget plan that would raise eligibility age for Social Security and talked about reducing payments for the well-off. Folks, those are cuts - so it allowed Dems to run ads that GOP threatens Social Security I know seniors who vote on this issue because they’re not rich and they don’t have comfortable government or congressional pensions. The GOP doesnt talk about cutting foreign aid or military bases, only “entitlements” for middle class Americans Trump told them to stop that, but they didn’t listen In the modern , post - FDR America,...

Donald Trump Jr. mocked Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman as 'brain dead' on Sunday when he took the stage in Miami at his father's Make America Great Again rally. *** During his warm-up remarks, Donald Jr. attacked Democrats for rising crime rates throughout the country, including Fetterman for his tenure as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania. Like many Republicans, he also suggested Fetterman was not up to the job of senator because of the auditory processing and speech issues he was left with after suffering a stroke in May. 'The Democrats want to release violent offenders,' Donald Jr. said, including...

The same week that Pelosi had his incident, a San Francisco supervisor had his house broken into, and appliances stolen. This Democrat-run city is rampant with crime. THATs what conservative politicians and social media influencers should be talking about, not debating the private life of victim Pelosi Voters care about crime, and this Pelosi incident plays into the theme that Democrats let their cities be overrun by crime. Instead of wasting breath apologizing for harsh political attacks on Pelosi or anybody else, GOP politicians should be hammering on the urban crime issue - hard and loud. Here’s one article from...

For a country that ISN”T overrun with Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, Ukraine sure does seem to contain lots of folks sporting Nazi tattoos or patches on their clothing. The latest to be revealed is one of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s bodyguards, who was spotted during a visit to the recently liberated eastern Ukrainian city of Izyum sporting a so-called Totenkopfverbande patch, celebrating the guards who ran Nazi concentration camps and later made up Hitler’s personal guards. Jimmy and The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle wonder at the regularity with which Nazi sympathies crop up in a country that we’re told doesn’t have...

Why is VP Kamala Harris so opposed to enforcement of immigration laws? One reason is her own family's immigration history, with fraud by her mother (and a resulting attempt at deportation in 1967).

Hello from the third National Conservatism conference, meeting in Miami. Gov. Ron DeSantis addressed the conference on the first night, and blew everyone away. It helped that he followed a dull but half-hysterical rant by Sen. Rick Scott, who fired a barrage of Republican cliches at the audience (watch it here). A conservative writer friend sitting across the room texted me during the speech to joke that this thing was so bad it's causing him to rethink all his convictions.

Vice President Kamala Harris' model stepdaughter Ella Emhoff bared her boobs while walking the runway at a New York Fashion Week show Saturday. Emhoff, who is the daughter of US second gentleman Doug Emhoff and first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, wore a barely-there mint blouse and a black leather lambskin miniskirt with black gloves for the outing. The outfit appeared to be a deliberate choice, and there's no suggestion the bared boobs were a wardrobe malfunction. The designer told The Associated Press he discovered an industrial space in the former home of the Japanese consulate while on a bike ride on...

Someone had to do it

I must get this off my chest. Mind you, this is more of a rant to all those feeling nostalgic and remorseful over a Queen who lived the life of privilege from birth to death. As much as I mourn the passing of any human, I pray she was saved. While I do truly feel she was a good woman, I do not understand the borderline worship so many in America seem to feel for her. She was nothing more to me than the World's biggest welfare Queen. Mind you, the royal family made their wealth off the backs of...

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced crowds of hecklers outside the Queen's University in Belfast on Friday as she attended a ceremony to install her as the first female chancellor of the college. In the 40 second clip, Clinton can be seen dressed in robes as she is followed by a small child carrying the gown.

Donald Trump, who said two weeks ago "the temperature has to be brought down" in this country, is raising it to heights that would burst the thermometer. He’s gone on what we would call an angry tweetstorm, if he was still on Twitter, pumping out three dozen postings and repostings on his far smaller Truth Social app. Then Trump drops the hammer: "REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner, or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!"

And he was asked to return the material in his possession — many times, including via a grand jury subpoena. Why didn’t he?The latest scoop comes from WaPo, which obtained an email...

Andrew Tate made his millions running cam girls and milking money out of the incels that watch them. He loves male promiscuity and he has a materialistic obsession with expensive cars. And me, as a Christian, am a big fan of his and think he is the biggest intellectual force for good for Western society since Jordan Peterson. The most googled man on the planet for the past month or so has been underrepresented here on Freerepublic so I wanted to let everyone know about him just as he was in the process of getting cancelled by every social media...
