Free Republic

President Joe Biden told the American people Wednesday night that he graciously decided to bow out of the 2024 election because he wanted to unite his party and focus on his job as president. It was baloney. In the most obvious display of pure political muscle, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her disciples forced President Biden into withdrawing from the presidential race. More...

Below, I have posted my comments, FReeper threads and comments, followed by the three X.com posts in Biden's account used to withdraw him from the 2024 election.On Free Republic, there are posts and threads asking questions like, "Where's Joe Biden?" and "Who on Earth is running the country?" A Freeper commented that Biden's schedule is blank and he hasn't been seen for 5 days. If Biden is not running the country, then who is in charge of this coup d' etat?The Washington Post published an extremely biased assessment of the fighting in Israeli, noting that Netanyahu is traveling to Washington...

On Wednesday, radical, left-wing Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban went all-in for Joe Biden and jumped up to attack X owner Elon Musk for his strong support of Donald Trump. Cuban said he supports Biden’s bid for a second term but will blindly support whoever the party nominates if it replaces him. The NBA owner’s attack came after PayPal founder David Sacks wrote an X post listing the business leaders who have come onboard the Trump train—such as Bill Ackman, Ben Horowitz, Marc Andreessen, Doug Leone, Joe Lonsdale, Peter Thiel, Cameron, Tyler Winklevoss, and Elon Musk—and adding the message, “Come...

All I can say to Trump’s pick for his vice president: Good luck. The real story is why anyone would want to follow Mike Pence’s fate. After Pence refused to overturn the 2020 election, Trump incited a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol that began chanting, “Hang Mike Pence.” The same chilling question applies to all the people auditioning for Cabinet positions by speaking at this week’s GOP convention. To the men and women trying to move up in the GOP ranks by agreeing to fawn over Trump on stage in Milwaukee this week, and telling lies about a stolen...

A staff member of a Mississippi Democratic congressman took to social media and said she wished the shooter who tried to take Donald Trump's life had better aim. On Saturday evening, shortly after Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, attempted to assassinate the former president during a rally in Pennsylvania, Jacqueline Marsaw, the field director for Mississippi Congressman Bennie G. Thompson shared a vile post on Facebook about the attack. Trump was left bloodied and hurt during the assassination attempt as he was seen suddenly grabbing hold of his ear as loud bangs rang out and whizzed by before he ducked to...

Biden tells a Philadelphia radio station that he's "proud" to be "the first black woman to serve with a black president"

I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

The former vice president condemned Trump’s positioning on abortion in an op-ed (for the National Review), even as he didn’t mention his one-time boss by name. "We must work to advance the sanctity of life at every level, state and federal," Pence said. | Morry Gash/AP By KIERRA FRAZIER 06/24/2024 04:13 PM EDT Former Vice President Mike Pence revived his call for a nationwide abortion ban on Monday — the two-year anniversary of the landmark Dobbs decision — taking an implicit shot at former President Donald Trump in the process. In an op-ed in the conservative magazine National Review, Pence...

The White House is taking heat for statements on the deaths of a mother of five children in Maryland and a young Texas girl who were allegedly murdered by illegal aliens. The recent statements, which were short, did not comment on active police investigations regarding the two deaths, Fox News reported on Saturday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty,” the...

Bill Maher joked that 'we've all been' imagining Donald Trump being raped if he is sent to prison for his 34 felony convictions. The comedian said it was a 'puzzling paradox' that rape jokes were 'completely unacceptable and unthinkable' - unless they were about prison. Maher said such jokes would be made more often since the former president's convictions for falsifying business records last Thursday.

"So we are going to drop ‘A Crockett Clapback Collection,’" she wrote in the caption. "This collection will feature various swag that includes random things I’ve said. The money will go to ensuring that we have a Democratic House! Give me a little time to really get the swag online etc., but B6 will drop first."

Jared Bernstein is perhaps the most influential "economist" in the United States. I put economist in quotes, despite his being an academic who has taught the subject and has advised Congress and the highest elected officials in America. I do so because he is a moron. He is such a moron that Paul Krugman himself admires him for his economic insights. He is that bad. ... This is absolutely priceless. And probably the most frightening clip you'll ever watch on the people in charge of the US economy. Jared Bernstein is literally the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers,...

Social media users trashed Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, after she turned her gaffe about the moon being "made of gases" into a slam of Republicans on social media Tuesday. Reacting to the backlash she received for telling school children that the moon is made of gases ahead of Monday’s eclipse, the lawmaker said that her Republican critics are hounding her because they have a "lust for stupidity." She gave a speech at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston on the day of the eclipse, telling an assembly of students, "Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to...

While Democrats and leftist alarmists decry conservatives for supposedly peddling "misinformation" about "the Science™" related to climate, COVID, and genders (there are two, FYI), their own Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas is out and about telling constituents some real whoppers about the solar eclipse.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ( D-TX) once sat on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee. But understanding astronomy seems to elude her. Jackson Lee attended an event at Booker T. Washington High School where the “Trust the Science” party member clearly does not understand the science. Jackson Lee explained to the crowd, “You have the energy of the moon at night.” What?

This is what happens when you teach nothing but racism in school, and leave out anything actually, you know, educational. >p> During an event in Houston just before the eclipse Monday morning, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee told the audience gathered at the Mickey Leland Federal Building that the moon was made up “mostly of gasses” (it isn’t) and that it's "almost impossible to go near the sun" (we actually can't go near it at all) because it's a "mighty powerful heat" (you don't say!?). Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: It's "almost impossible to go near the sun," but the...

Former Vice President Mike Pence slammed former President Donald Trump’s position on a national abortion ban as a “slap in the face.”Pence issued a statement on X, criticizing Trump’s announcement that he did not support a federal ban on abortion.“President Trump’s retreat on the Right to Life is a slap in the face to the millions of pro-life Americans who voted for him in 2016 and 2020,” Pence wrote in his statement:By nominating and standing by the confirmation of conservative justices, the Trump-Pence Administration helped send Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history where it belongs and gave...

A mom of two is catching heat after posting a TikTok bristling at another family's screaming children as she tried to enjoy some downtime eating pizza at a Costco. 'This is why when you go to Costco, you leave the kids with dad and come by yourself,' mom, Tori, who goes by @thatmomtori ok TikTok, whispered into her phone. 'You don't come to Costco as a family when kids scream. Leave them home with dad,' she continued under her breath. Via text overlay, she added: 'I will never understand why families bring kids who do nothing but scream to Costco,...
