Free Republic

Something always struck me as odd about liberals – their love of high taxes. I always thought it had to do with their desire to punish successful people, something deeply rooted in jealousy. Over time, however, I came to realize it was something more, something deeper and deeply flawed in their understanding of the world and the idea of the concept of liberty. Democrats view government as the center of life and the giver of all good things. And that doesn’t come for free. The other day, billionaire Mark Cuban tweeted something normal people would find uncontroversial, but since it’s...

Just reported by Federalist editor in chief. Sean Davis — “Durham isn’t doing anything. Dropping his investigations. He’s worried about blowback from Biden. What an absolute disgrace.”

MISS USA, ASYA BRANCH Miss USA winner Asya Branch is getting the Ice Cube treatment. The 22-year old model and beauty company owner is the first Black woman to win the title of Miss Mississippi USA, and the first Black Mississippian to win the Miss USA crown. In the social/political segment of the pageant, Branch advocated for gun rights, not gun control. It was definitely a clutch the pearls moment. “As someone who grew up in a home with guns, I learned at an early age how to load, how to fire and gun safety, and I think that education...

New York magazine published a scathing inside look at The New York Times, which details the “open secret” that the paper is “published by and for coastal liberals” and ponders if it “can again become the paper of record," while pointing out that several staffers agreed with Bari Weiss' infamous resignation letter painting the once-proud paper as toxic.

How did a close George Soros associate , a Quantum Fund VP, who lived in his NYC apartment get accepted for crucial voting machinery? Soros Minion: How did a close George Soros associate , a Quantum Fund VP, who lived in his NYC apartment get accepted for crucial voting machinery? Especially after Soros’ unrelenting attack on the US justice system by funding leftist DAs? Brown was concurrently Vice-Chair of Soros Fund Management & Vice-Chair of Open Society Institute. Is Lord Brown George Soros’ favorite lieutenant? Agent Provocateur Brown: So, what kind of person is Lord Brown? He secretly advances Soros’...

And just like that the rioting and looting has ceased overnight. And now the half of the country that pummeled America like a battered wife is telling her to put on sunglasses, hide her black eye, be a good girl, and “come together as one.” Her answer? “Go [expletive] yourself.”

Liberals in Seattle were celebrating Saturday morning after The Associated Press and major news networks across the country announced President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ projected victory over President DonaldTrump and Vice President Mike Pence. Groups of Biden and Harris’ supporters were seen in West Seattle, Capitol Hill, and Green Lake celebrating the victory. On Capitol Hill, a parade of cars drove around Cal Anderson Park while people stood along the road dancing and cheering. While some were celebrating others were shooting each other. A video surfaced this morning that shows the place where one man got shot....

A day after Republicans won back New Mexico’s only conservative-leaning congressional district, a top state Democrat said its boundaries will be redrawn in redistricting that will be guided by super majorities in the Democrat-controlled Legislature. New Mexico House Speaker Brian Egolf, an architect of the state’s progressive Democratic wing, made the announcement Wednesday after GOP nominee Yvette Herrell beat Democratic U.S. House Rep. Xochitl Torres Small in part because of a Republican turnout surge in the 2nd Congressional District. “So this is the last election for New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District with a map that looks like it looks now,”...

Hillary Clinton: Nancy Pelosi, and bless her heart in every way we can, has teed up a lot of liberal legislation... And one of the areas we’ll have to move quickly on is the courts. We’re gonna have to move quickly on everything, election reform, climate change...

A huge difference exists between liberal leftists and conservatives. Generally, liberals will organize, group together and defend one another while executing evil deeds EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER. They put aside differences for the moment until they are able to overcome the good forces that oppose them, THEN they fight with each other. Not always, but the vast majority operate that way. Conservatives, on the other hand, seem to argue about what is the right way to do something, are somewhat difficult to organize for taking positive action and tend to group together IF IT INVOLVES FAMILY OR...

Freeman’s full tweet reads: Exactly how much money do I need to give the Democratic Party for them to pull their shit together? Get angry. Get mean. Get low. We care about people. Awesome. That doesn’t mean we can’t occasionally slide a knife between some asshole’s ribs. Fellow Microsoft employees, including Program Manager Alex Dupler, appeared to endorse Freeman’s tweet, asking “where do I sign up?”

A new Pope Francis documentary, "Francesco," has certainly commanded some attention. Longtime pope followers like me know to take the hubbub with a grain of salt. The press attention to Francis' papacy has been so often guided by ideology. The progressive left, so to speak has held onto hope that he is their way to a church they are more comfortable with, one conformed to the values of the times rather than age-old tenets. That's not to absolve people on the right, of course, some of whom miss the best of Francis because of the politicized lens through which everything...

The Blue Scarves: A Fable A Fable on Performativeness, Looking Good over Doing Good And no, it isn't my blog.

Sky News host Rowan Dean says the next World Economic Forum in Davos has morphed from a “jet-setter climate gabfest” into a sinister “anti-democratic enterprise designed to destroy your job, steal your prosperity and rob your kids of a future”. “It's a hardcore leftist eco-horror show replete with quasi fascism,” he said. Mr Dean highlighted what he described as a “disturbing trend among many of the world's left-wing elites to increasingly conflate COVID-19 with climate change. “Many are going so far as to suggest that all the measures applied to the coronavirus, the lockdowns, the destruction of businesses, the suppression...

Lee Keltner was identified by his mother, Carol,... “My son Lee was at the patriot rally today in Denver,” she wrote to the group. “After the rally a person on the BLM and Antifa side went up to him said a few nasty words then shot him in the head. He was murdered because he backed the police.” “His 24-year-old son was with him. I moved to Arkansas because Colorado got too expensive and liberal,” she added. “The left has gotten out of hand.”

Twitter will remove tweets wishing for President Donald Trump’s death following his and first lady Melania Trump’s Thursday coronavirus diagnosis, the social media giant told Motherboard. “Content that wishes, hopes or expresses a desire for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against an individual is against our rules,” Twitter told Motherboard, which is part of Vice Media. The company added that the months-old rule applies to posts about the president, and Tweets that violate the policy will be removed. The social media platform also added that not all tweets that appear to engage in the prohibited behavior will be...

Company after company declares their fidelity to Black Lives Matter, give money for bail for those looting and rioting. In repayment, Target, Macy’s, and the other stores get trashed and looted. Then like an abused spouse, says to the criminals, OK, do it to me again, I deserve it. American corporations prefer to pay off and act like wimps in the face of criminals, rather than stand up and protect themselves. The full list of 276 companies is out! As Medium reported you can use this list as a guide in what businesses you wish to support. Please also consider...

I don’t know when it first hit me that the world had gone nuts. It might have been when an American white woman named Rachel Dolezal self-identified as black on national television despite both her parents being white. That was nuts. Or perhaps it was when Altrincham Grammar School for Girls in Manchester asked staff to refrain from calling female students ‘girls’ because it might offend transgender students – yet didn’t change the gender-specific name of the school. That was nuts. Maybe it was when there were strident calls from radical feminists – who, like all radicals, destroy support for...

Rioting in New York, threats of court-packing, promises of arson at the thought of Trump replacing its demi-god with a justice who actually believes in the Constitution. The left is rabid. Even character assassination (a la the Bret Kavanaugh inquisition) is no longer enough. When will the hostage-taking start? The President has Article II power to nominate “judges of the Supreme Court.” Donald Trump’s power doesn’t extend to the next election, but to the next inauguration -- still four months away. The composition of the United States Supreme Court was a major issue in the 2016 election. Voters balked at...

NEW YORK, NY—A crowd of liberals gathered at a special event held in New York cheered loudly as the official COVID death counter hit 200,000 today. They counted down the numbers, with wild cheering going up as soon as the counter hit 200,000. "Woohoo! We did it -- we owned Trump!" shouted one progressive New Yorker at the event as the number ticked from 199,999 to 200,000. "More deaths! More deaths! More deaths!"
