Free Republic

If billionaire-backed “Islamo-socialist” Mamdani can’t crush it after showering voters with freebies, then even a win is really a loss. Because when you’ve got unlimited money, media cover, and populist giveaways on your side, anything short of a landslide exposes weakness—not strength. It proves the hype doesn’t match the grassroots.

Reports are this is a UPS plane that caught fire upon takeoff that then crashed at the end of the runway.

“Every morning a war breaks out here, you know?” whispers the wrinkled old woman who, that evening, invited me into her shack — an improvised shelter of aluminum, cardboard and wood. “Sometimes they kill each other over a piece of copper,” she added. Then, she pointed out the window, where fires smolder in the distance. Basurero de la Calle 100, Havana: Cuba’s largest garbage dump. A place where, every few days, bodies are dragged off its paths. A place where people kill to live one more day. A place so forsaken that even the police dare not enter. Our hostess,...

U.S. — The nation is mourning the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has tragically passed away without getting to see World War III. The renowned politician, avid hunter of both animals and men, and 43rd most popular Vice President, passed away peacefully at 84, surrounded by family. "He dedicated his life to achieving his dream of devastating global conflict, and it's a shame he passed before any of his work came to fruition," said close friend John Bolton while adding his signature to the latest batch of bombs coming off the assembly line. "We can only do...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

ransomnote: The following is another GROK AI report critiquing the failure of the DOJ's performance, this time on the failure of the DOJ to follow through on Chuck Grassley's criminal referrals from 2016, regarding evidence that Planned Parenthood was profiting by selling fetal tissue.I asked GROK to use a very sensitive, soft tone because I hope we can reach across the aisle regarding on this issue. I'm hoping to reach those Democrats who, even if they support abortion, would still 'draw the line' at Planned Parenthood marketing fetal tissue for profit. GROK did well with my request it use a...

For the 25th annual Forbes ranking, The Notorious B.I.G., Miles Davis and Jimmy Buffett join a heavenly lineup of musicians as the greatest earners in the great beyond. Plus: How Michael Jackson earned $3.5 billion in the afterlife. In 2001, Elvis Presley topped Forbes’ first list tracking the highest-earning celebrity estates, and The King has appeared on every edition of the rankings in the 25 years since, earning over $1.2 billion during that span. Yet it’s another member of music royalty who has truly broken the paradigm for posthumous earnings—Elvis’ onetime son-in-law, Michael Jackson. The King of Pop’s estate has...

In the debate over the federal government shutdown, U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has been the only Democrat to be critical of his party’s role in creating the debacle. In an interview on Sunday’s CNN show State of The Union with Jake Tapper, Fetterman said, “I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, we’re shutting it down.” In addition, Fetterman noted that the problem of “42 million Americans” facing “food insecurity” would be solved if Democrats “just reopen our government.” Fetterman continued to blast his party’s neglect of Americans in need. He claimed, “now we...

ransomnote: This is a fun GROK report to read. I usually try to make my GROK requests technical or specific. I recently discovered that asking GROK to provide facts from the point of view of conservatives, or concerned citizens etc. can be used to produce persuasive letters to organizations or representatives etc. It's more enjoyable sometimes, to read facts from a conservative perspective other than the 360 degrees of liberal/deep state MSM I'm used to.Below, I enjoyed Grok's report about the investigations into the FBI/DOJ done by Nunes, Huber, Horowitz, Durham etc. -Grok's report really does sound like its written...

The government is "working to remove" Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's last honorary military title at the King’s request, the defence secretary has said. John Healey said King Charles had "indicated that's what he wishes". Andrew, who was stripped of his title as a prince on Thursday, retained his rank as a Vice Admiral in the Royal Navy after giving up his other military positions in 2022.

I've been refining this list for several years now. Earlier revisions have been posted in other venues, although most of them are gone now. Even Rush Limbaugh had his 35 Undeniable Truths. As for me — cough, cough — being somewhat less influential, I only have 26. Buckle up, kids.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) once again trashed Republicans as part of her ongoing tour on left-wing media circuits, this time attacking Republicans and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over costs associated with the Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA). The congresswoman later claimed that critics of her recent shift are sexist. Extension of ACA credits — which are set to expire at the end of the year under the term’s of the Democrat-passed Inflation Reduction Act in 2021 — have become a central point of the Democratic Party’s narrative on the ongoing government shutdown. Senate Democrats have voted against...

What became of Freeper Archy? I enjoyed reading his posts. He was knowledgeable and intelligent.

As Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly four years ago, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, then head of Ukraine’s state-owned national power company Ukrenergo, was scrambling to keep the lights on.Somehow, he succeeded and continued to do so every year, earning the respect of energy executives worldwide by ensuring the country was able to withstand Russian missile and drone strikes on its power grid and avoid catastrophic blackouts — until he was abruptly forced to resign in 2024, that is.Kudrytskyi’s dismissal was decried by many in the energy industry and also prompted alarm in Brussels. At the time, Kudrytskyi told POLITICO...

A federal judge ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s request to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, sided with left-wing and “civil rights” groups that had sued the Trump Administration over his executive order aimed at bolstering election integrity. The order, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” directs federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Social Security Administration (SSA), and Department of State to provide states access to federal databases to verify voter eligibility and citizenship during...

Chairman Comer Blasts Democrats for Smears Against President Trump, Urges Them to Reopen the GovernmentWASHINGTON—Today, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), and House Republican Conferaence Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) to discuss the need for Senate Democrats to reopen the government and provide an update on the Committee’s investigation of the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Chairman Comer emphasized that Democrats are attempting to distract from the fact that they shut down the government by pushing...
