Free Republic

The party swept into power after vowing to lower energy bills. It won’t be easy. Gushing victory speeches by Democrats who promised to tame electricity prices marked the beginning of a risky political countdown. Time is not on their side.The party’s focus on addressing cost-of-living issues by expanding clean power could increase prices before it lowers them, according to energy analysts, raising the risk that Democrats could enter the 2028 presidential cycle before fulfilling their affordability promises.“That’s a legitimate issue, and it’s not going to be solved in one political cycle,” Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) acknowledged in an interview this...

Iman Jodeh, Colorado’s first Palestinian Muslim State Senator is advertising a paid State Capitol internship that is restricted to applicants who identify as Muslim or come from an ethnically Islamic area of the world, which is illegal under state and federal anti-discrimination statutes governing public offices and paid positions.

Here it comes… After electing Muslims into power in New Jersey, the state is set to pass a bill that criminalizes the criticism of Islam. It is the furtherance of Sharia and Islamic Supremacy by weaponizing “Islamophobia” to do so. Look for the UK-style censorship of free speech to spread to other states now that the Red/Green Alliance is ascendant in the US.Fresh from electing Muslim Democratic Representative Adam Hamawy, who seems to have a problem with naming Iran our enemy, New Jersey is now furthering Sharia and attempting to censor free speech by passing Assembly Bill A1146, which defines...

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) smiled and said nothing when confronted over a House Judiciary Committee report alleging the city's district attorneys instructed prosecutors to downgrade charges against illegal aliens to shield them from deportation. Now a former top ICE official in New York is explaining why that question may have been so uncomfortable. Scott Mechkowski, a retired deputy field office director for ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York City, says Bronx DA Darcel Clark's (D) playbook for child sex abuse cases was designed to keep deportable offenders here. It's quite sickening when you think about...

She got knocked off her high horse. Wild footage shows a crazed, self-righteous animal rights activist smacking a horse-drawn carriage driver in the face with her skateboard in Central Park — before cops arrested her for felony assault, police said Wednesday. Sanctimonious skate punk Abigail Holbrook, 27, of Philadelphia first unleashed an unhinged tirade about “animal abuse” Tuesday on 59th Street near West Drive, according to footage shot by one of the drivers. “You’re animal abusers! Horses do not do well in New York City. They are very sensitive to light and noise,” she shouted, according to the video. “I’m...

Imagine calling 9-1-1 nine times for a home invasion and rape in progress. And nobody comes. For hours. Welcome to Chicago. On November 6, 2026, a 19-year-old woman named Yizel was home alone in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood when an armed man broke in, forced her into the bathroom, and raped her at gunpoint. He stole her phone and bag and then left. Her family called 911 repeatedly. EMS arrived. The Chicago police did not. Dispatch records show the 911 center received nine calls. The Gresham District was in “Radio Assignments Pending” status—no patrol cars available. The attack reached the...

When Michel Houellebecq published Submission a decade ago, while Muslim terrorists were butchering cartoonists, the book’s calm unimpassioned description of France falling under the sway of a Muslim Brotherhood party with the gradual acceptance of the protagonist, a dilettante academic intellectual, who ends the novel by ‘submitting’ and converting to Islam, and the rest of society, French literary circles saw it as both fantastic and unrealistic. It’s a lot less fantastic now as Houellebecq faces a year in prison. During the 2022 interview, Houellebecq quipped that “what the native French population, as they say, wants is not for Muslims to...

Salon, one of the early internet’s most influential websites that featured sharp voices and political and cultural journalism with a liberal sensibility, announced Thursday it would shut down after 31 years of publication. “It has been an extraordinary privilege,” the outlet said in a farewell note.

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) rebuked the creep of socialism into American politics. He highlighted its failures and warned against it coming to the United States. “[Y]ou had interesting comments about socialism recently,” host Sean Hannity said. “If you had to break it down and explain it because that’s what’s on the ballot this year, what do you tell people?” Kemmedy replied, “Well, Sean, I listen to these new leaders of the Democratic Party. Mayor Mamdani, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, Dr. El-Sayed in Michigan, and when I listen to them, they’re all socialists. When I listen to them, it’s...

As the October election in Brazil approaches and is likely to pit, once again, a Lula vs. Bolsonaro matchup—this time with President Bolsonaro’s son Flávio running in his place—timing has never been better to hold accountable those in the U.S. who collaborated in the subversive campaign, both stateside and abroad, that would lead to President Bolsonaro’s political persecution and ultimately, incarceration, following the presidential election of 2022 in Brazil. It is in this context that President Trump’s measures to pressure the Brazilian government must be understood: as the unmaking of an injustice perpetrated by the U.S. Left, with Biden-era taxpayer...

New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani is embarking upon a socialist agenda during his first year in office. As wealthy residents flee the Big Apple to avoid higher taxes, Florida is emerging as a major destination for their resources and businesses — a reality in which the Sunshine State is reveling. The Florida Chamber of Commerce launched a Times Square billboard campaign calling Mamdani the “Economic Developer of the Year.” “We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they’re pushing out of New York — and a lot of them are coming to Florida,”...

America is preparing for a midterm election that will almost certainly see the Democrats recapture one, if not both, houses of Congress. In a normal year, the Left would use the power shift to grind the Republican agenda to a halt and negotiate legislative concessions with the president. But this is not a normal election, and the Democrats’ plans and strategies are not normal, either. They have telegraphed a not-so-subtle message: reprisals are coming. In a recent address, Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA agent, indicated that she would use the power of the Congress to investigate White House...

On the afternoon of Friday, October 30th, Poland's president boarded a plane for Senegal. Karol Nawrocki was somewhere over Spain when the news reached the cabin. Back in Warsaw, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, who had never taken the oath before the president that Polish law requires of a Constitutional Tribunal judge, ordered the suspension of the Tribunal’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and its vice president, Bartłomiej Sochański, for one month. She announced that she was now running the court. Nawrocki told the pilot to turn around at around 6:12 in the evening, and by midnight he was standing inside the Tribunal building beside...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released “Talarico Tapes” one day before the midterm elections. James O’Keefe released undercover videos of Texas Democrats admitting Talarico’s “moderate” act is just for the cameras to win over Texas voters. Williamson County Democrat Chair and Talarico’s girlfriend’s family were caught on OMG undercover video revealing James Talarico holds extremely progressive views. “James is not going… he’s not going middle. He’s a progressive,” Matt Menard, Talarico’s girlfriend’s father told the OMG undercover journalist. “Don’t put too much stock into border security comments… “He’s [Talarico] offended by ICE. He and I have spoken about these...

WASHINGTON — In a loss for President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Monday swiftly rejected the administration’s request that California separate out up to 20,000 mail-in ballots that officials allege could be submitted by noncitizens. The court in a brief order turned away without explanation an emergency request filed just hours earlier by the Trump administration as part of an unusual last-minute flurry of election litigation. Lower courts had also ruled against the Trump administration. The court acted so quickly it did not even ask California for its views first, as it normally does in such cases. California officials...

Texas voter: “I’m a Republican. I’m an old school Reagan Republican, and I believe personal integrity means things. And so I support people that have good personal integrity, and I like James Talarico. He is the kind of guy we need in office.”

A former policy director for First Lady Michelle Obama was paid nearly $700,000 in total compensation last year despite revenue to the taxpayer-funded refugee resettlement organization plummeting by nearly $130 million, an investigation by The Center Square found. Krish O’Mara Vignarajah is the CEO of Baltimore-based Global Refuge, a faith-based nonprofit which received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants from the State and Health and Human Services departments since 2021. In 2025, she made $686,000, a 2% drop from the $699,000 she made the year before. That compares to a 44% drop in the nonprofit’s revenue during the...

The Dallas Morning News published a glowing opinion piece praising Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa. The author was billed as a “longtime Republican” and former staffer for Republican lawmakers. There was just one problem: the author was on Hinojosa’s payroll.

Two staffers at a Central Coast charter school have been arrested after allegedly embezzling nearly $300,000 from school funds. The International School of Monterey in Seaside were alerted to the illegal activity after Terry Bumper, the school’s former food services director, placed a suspiciously large Costco order for eggs, bacon, and potatoes. A school administrator flagged the exorbitant shopping spree, which led Seaside Police to uncover that Bumper, 42, had embezzled $58,800 from the school by ordering products he used in his personal catering business, Flava 2 You, which he launched in 2023. Bumper is also accused of renting out...
