Free Republic

Kansas City, Missouri, shut down its prison. They give free bus service so the serial criminals can go to the city run grocery store and continuously harass the customers. This is exactly what #ZohranMamdani wants to do to #NYC.

The cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime! “Climate change is fueling brutal rainstorms. Here's how to stay safe,” read the ridiculous headline for NPR’s July 15 Consider This podcast by All Things Considered co-host Juana Summers (ironic) and Climate Desk correspondent Michael Copley, both of whom are not scientists. Of course, Summers exploited the Texas flood disasters as a springboard to blame rainfall and recent flooding writ large in the...

VIDEOHow can that be? My wife had a string of WINS at the Casino today, July 12, 2025, yet we ended up still LOSING to the tune of about $30 to $40. How? Because of horribly LOUSY payouts. In fact our best slots payout today was about what our WORST payout was in June when she also had a string of WINS but WINS with normal to good payouts. We will be taking a break from the casino until early August because it seems that Lady Luck would only joke around with us again if we went back before then.So...

I asked Grok: Fact check: Compared to the 1950s, here are some things that are far, far better in 2025: Average life expectancy. Square footage of housing per person. Houses today are much bigger, but the number of people in each house is much smaller. Number of bathrooms per person in each house. Percentage of homes with air conditioning. Number of dental cavities for the average 18 year old. Percentage of the population that is vaccinated against polio and measles. Percentage of the population that has indoor plumbing. Percentage of the population that takes a daily shower. Being able to...

Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani have both said that billionaires should not exist. This information from Grok tells us which countries meet that criteria, and which ones do not.https://x.com/DanielAlmanPGH/status/1942015133875601709#BernieSanders and #ZohranMamdani have both said that #BillionairesShouldNotExist.This information from Grok tells us which countries meet that criteria, and which ones do not.#Socialism #DemocraticSocialism #Communism #Marxism #Capitalism #AynRand #Economics #Billionaires pic.twitter.com/L3qMsZI6ju— Daniel Alman from Squirrel Hill (@DanielAlmanPGH) July 7, 2025I asked Grok:Please list the per capita number of billionaires in each the following countries: the United States, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan,...

VIDEOSome obsessions are harmful. Think Captain Ahab and his OBSESSION with a certain White Whale. However, other obsessions can be very positive. And in the case of Portugal, they can be congratulated for their OBSESSION with fresh squeezed orange juice. And don't just tell them that the orange juice is fresh squeezed, they have to VERIFY it with their own eyes.

I'm proud to mention that I’m a columnist with Renew America. The editors suggested I provide a review of my new novel. The problem with reviews, good, bad, long, short, is that each is one person's opinion. Surely I can be more helpful. Here are the first six reviews: ——————————————————————- “I LOVED IT. It's interesting and fast-paced." —Laurie Endicott Thomas, author of "Not Trivial: How Studying The Traditional Liberal Arts Can Set You Free” —————————————————————— "A riveting sci-fi thriller that delves into artificial intelligence, government surveillance, and the nature of free will. At the heart of the novel is Carlos,...

President Trump hosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House this week, and again floated his idea to make Canada “the 51st state,” to which Carney replied, “There are some places that are never for sale.” Trump’s reply to that was, “Time will tell.” This insulting idea that one country can simple “acquire” another one–even if that country is not interested in being acquired–has become almost casual standard operating procedure for President Trump, and though Democrats / liberal-Leftists are generally appalled by it; strangely, I don’t see much pushback from Republicans / conservatives. Instead, I hear excuses such...

Who is the woke, radical left more angry at? A white woman named Shiloh Hendrix who said a very offensive word to a 5-year-old black child or a black person who shot and killed a 7-year-old black child named Breon Allen Jr.

Abbott’s statement: “(It is) a significant achievement (by Anthony Albanese) to be the first Prime Minister since John Howard and the first Labor Prime minister since Bob Hawke to be returned to government ……… What I really do want to say though is to reassure people who voted Liberal (in Australia that means conservative because the biggest conservative party is called the Liberal Party) today and people who normally vote for the coalition not to lose heart. At our best we are the freedom party. We are the tradition party. We are the patriot party and at our best I...

Adam Schiff: "If the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o'clock at night believes that Democrats are a---h---s because the shampoo was locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we've got a major problem that we have to address."

VIDEOThe Spanish Legion was modeled after the French Foreign Legion yet it has several significant differences. Although the enlisted ranks of the French Foreign Legion are composed entirely of non-French citizens, the members of the Spanish Legion are almost entirely Spaniards. Another difference is that the Spanish Legion march is much faster than the French Foreign Legion march. In fact, as you can see, the Spanish Legion marches so rapidly that you can be forgiven if you think the video of their march is being played at fast speed although I assure you that it's not. The Spanish Legion uniform...

The Media has been covering up the reality of January 6 for over four years now. Prager U CEO Marissa Streit interviewed two “influencers”–John Strand and Brandon Straka– who were arrested, jailed, and nearly financially ruined in what appears to be a clear attempt by the Biden administration to make an example of them. If you have an open mind and heart, you will outraged at what you see. You will learn shocking information you’ve likely never heard before. President Trump pardoned / commuted the sentences of those involved. Getting these Americans out of prison was a great first step....

Judge Boasberg has said he will pursue contempt charges for those who did not follow his unconstitutional verbal order to turn around a planeload of deportees en route to El Salvador. He wrote a long rant basically saying that even unlawful orders have to be obeyed until they are ruled to be unlawful. Here is my open letter to him (only published here but if somebody could help me get it to him I would appreciate the help): An appeals court just issued an order forbidding you from eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, farting, burping, or breathing until you have in...

The Passover display at the Greenfield Giant Eagle had Coca-Cola with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, which means that it’s not kosher for Passover. I’m Jewish. If I was a crazy, woke, radical leftist, I would have gotten very upset, and seen this as a deliberate act of antisemitism by one of the store employees. But I’m not a crazy, woke, radical leftist. So I saw it as an honest mistake, and did not get upset.
