Free Republic

One of the biggest lies ever told in the history of the world is that the Democrat Party is the party of "love" and "compassion." In fact, one of the reasons I completed my conversion to the dark side (conservatism) all those years ago and never looked back was the realization that there was nothing "loving and compassionate," for example, about advocating for the "right" to terminate innocent, unborn life at any stage of pregnancy. So, like many on our side of the aisle, whenever I hear such claims coming from Democrats and their allies in the press, I just...

In a controversial appearance on “Alex Witt Reports,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed her plans to serve as the Democratic side of the critical House Oversight Committee. She concluded her work rant by thanking God for supporting her amidst supposed death threats and other such nonsense. For context, Jasmine Crockett, a far-left representative, has become infamous for her controversial and often inappropriate behavior since taking office in 2023. In the past, she has threatened Senator Ted Cruz, been accused of assaulting a journalist, and generally embarrassed herself at every opportunity. Starting her May 25, 2025, remarks, she reacted to a...

U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, made remarks during a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday that have ignited a debate about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

She stated that she told her prospective boss, “Listen, you should hire me,” and when asked why, replied, “Because I’m Black.” Crockett explained that she believed her presence would allow her to establish a level of rapport and understanding with certain clients that her colleagues might not be able to achieve. Her boss ultimately...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett agrees with podcaster that black people shouldn’t marry white people, referencing Byron Donalds being married to a white woman.

"We in these hot a-- Texas streets, honey," Crockett said at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday. "Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a-- mess, honey!" "It's another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it," Abbott said in an interview on "Hannity." In an X post Tuesday, the Democrat claimed her words were misunderstood "I...

Kochi, India, Oct 14, 2017 / 04:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Both Hindu and Catholic schoolchildren in India claim to have witnessed an apparition of Christ and several appearances of the Virgin Mary accompanied by the scent of jasmine, the gift of contrition, and the healing of a girl’s ear problem. The site of the alleged apparitions is St. Ambrose Church and Lower Primary School in Edavanakkad, in the far southwestern state of Kerala, 16 miles northwest of Kochi. The parish and adjacent school are under the Archdiocese of Verapoly. The Marian apparitions are said to have happened on at least...

Forgive my seemingly silly post, but I saw a photo which really struck me today.. You've heard about the girl/woman who slept with multiple police officers over at the OPD in Oakland, California. Upon seeing her booking photo taken in Florida upon her arrest I couldn't help but thinking I've seen this woman before! Then I took a look at the iconic painting by Leonardo DaVinci of Mona Lisa and said "OMG, THAT'S HER!" Take a look and compare their facial features:

The rich heritage of Tunisia, maybe the only place where the Arab Spring stands a chance Modern-day Tunisians, more Westernized than most Arabs, see themselves as descendants of the great Carthaginian general who invaded Italy. The Arab Spring began in Sidi Bouzid, a small Tunisian town, at the end of 2010. In a desperate protest against the corrupt and oppressive government that had made it impossible for him to earn a living, food-cart vendor Mohamed Bouazizi stood before City Hall, doused himself with gasoline, and lit a match. His suicide seeded a revolutionary storm that swept the countryside and eventually...

Nearly two years after the Jasmine Revolution brought down the government, Tunisians are still not satisfied, and renewed riots started last week over economic difficulties once again, sparking concerns over more Islamist unrest. The economic struggles that ignited the self-immolation of a despairing pushcart vendor set off what days later became known as the country's “Jasmine Revolution.” The decades-old regime of President Zine al Abidine Ben Ali was ousted by protesters in January 2011, setting off the region-wide Arab Spring uprisings. But in the final analysis, the country is still struggling. And Tunisians still take to the streets and clash...
