Free Republic

Looks can be deceiving. As you watched the president deliver what may have been his best speech ever, you thought you saw Democrats acting like a pack of disrespectful juveniles. While President Trump recited a long list of economic successes, Democrats appeared to be wearing pained expressions on their normally cheery faces. They were unable to rise to their feet, let alone applaud in acknowledgment of the litany of great news for our nation. The self-described champions of free speech openly groaned as the man who reinvented talk radio was recognized for his contributions to our ongoing national debate. Some...

The ranks of President Trump’s supporters are swelling with former Democrats, with independents, with blacks and Hispanics, and with former nonvoters. He has earned their trust and their enthusiasm through bona fide real-life achievements.

A fierce behind-the-scenes dispute between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and Facebook erupted into public view Friday, as the speaker’s office demanded that Facebook remove a video posted online by President Donald Trump. The video in question showed Pelosi’s viral State of the Union moment ripping up the text of Trump’s speech Tuesday night, but was edited to make it appear that she ripped the speech even as Trump saluted a Tuskegee airman in the audience. In fact, Pelosi’s speech-ripping gesture came at the end of the president’s speech, and her office said it was in response to the totality...

VIDEO It wasn't only Nancy Pelosi who suffered an extreme meltdown over President Trump's State of the Union Speech on Tuesday. Many TDS members of the mainstream media also suffered meltdowns as you can see in this video in which they are especially irked by the awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. Their undertone was one of extreme sadness because these ranters have to know that Trump will win re-election in a big way this year despite their desperate efforts to prevent that outcome.

A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are calling for Twitter and Facebook to pull down an edited video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that was posted by President Trump on Thursday, reigniting a battle over how much responsibility social media platforms should assume over viral footage that could mislead viewers. The back-and-forth over the Pelosi video is opening up fresh wounds, as Democrats are still incensed by Twitter and Facebook's previous decision to leave up a different manipulatively edited video of Pelosi that went viral last year. Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, on Friday said the "latest...

On Wednesday evening, Republican congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida announced that he is filing an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi for her disgraceful stunt after President Trump finished his State of the Union address.“I’m filing an ethics complaint against @SpeakerPelosi for destroying @realDonaldTrump’s State of the Union speech,”  he wrote on Twitter. According to Gaetz, Nancy's behavior was a potential violation of 18 USC 2071. BREAKING: I'm filing an ethics complaint against @SpeakerPelosi for destroying @realDonaldTrump's State of the Union speech. Her conduct was beneath the dignity of the House, and a potential violation of law (18 USC 2071)....

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz filed an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi that said the House Speaker possibly violated numerous House rules — and maybe even broke the law — by tearing up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union speech. The Florida legislator sent a letter to the House Committee on Ethics requesting they open an investigation and shared the missive on Twitter. Gaetz wrote that “Speaker Pelosi’s gesture was deeply offensive and appears to violate clauses 1 and 2 of House Rule XXIII,” which dictate the House’s official code of conduct. “Her behaviour does not ‘reflect creditably...

The Chair just ruled that the signed copy of POTUS’ SOTU address destroyed last night by @SpeakerPelosi was “a document of the House.” Stand by for more. #SOTU20

Jody Jones, one of President Trump's guests at the State of the Union on Tuesday, criticized Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for ripping up her copy of the speech after Trump was finished. Jones' brother Rocky was killed by an illegal immigrant who had been deported twice before. He was released by California after being arrested despite not being a citizen because of the state's sanctuary law SB54. Jones was asked what his reaction was to Pelosi ripping up the speech in protest on "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday. "It felt like she ripped our hearts out. Everybody...

What was going on CBS Tuesday night during the State of the Union? Do we need to file a slew of missing persons’ reports? Or was there a real-life Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Those answers seemed plausible considering CBS’s overwhelmingly positive reaction to President Trump’s speech. In their post-speech reactions, CBS journalists praised the “master showman” President’s “incredible remarks” that, while “restrained,” showcased “a strong record on the economy” and “emotionally compelling stories” about “great Americans.” Even more surprisingly, the praise was juxtaposed with condemnation for Democrats. CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell led off by noting that Trump...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., apparently did not enjoy President Trump's State of the Union address, tearing her printed copy of the speech immediately as the president wrapped up his remarks Tuesday night. When Fox News asked her afterwards why she did it, she responded: "Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives." She added: "I tore it up. I was trying to find one page with truth on it. I couldn't." On the heels of an impeachment trial, which is expected to end in an acquittal in the Senate on Wednesday, tension was palpable between Pelosi...

In her petty and petulant act of tearing up Donald Trump's SOTU speech Nancy Pelosi did more than render paper. She tore the hearts out of real people. Disrespect for Trump at the SOTU is nothing new. Last year she clapped at Trump but this year was over the top. Let no one think that it wasn't planned. Pelosi tore up the family of Kayla Mueller. Mueller was kidnapped and murdered by bu Bakr al-Baghdadi who in turn was eliminated in a raid ordered by Trump. Trump recognized her parents, who gave him a standing ovation. Pelosi tore up Rocky...

**SNIP** Republicans cheered divisive lines, some Democrats walked out while Trump spoke, and Pelosi punctuated the night by tearing up the president’s speech while standing over his left shoulder as he wrapped up his remarks. **SNIP** The Democrats, meanwhile, could barely contain their resentment. When Trump urged lawmakers to send him a bill to lower prescription drug prices, promising he would “sign it into law without delay,” some Democrats leaped to their feet and, holding up three fingers, began chanting “H.R. 3! H.R. 3!” - a reference to a House-passed bill that would help do just that. **SNIP** Toward the...

“I’ve been a Democrat for 77 years and what I’ve seen tonight of the Democrat party, I am changing my mind..” one caller said. Another angry Democrat caller ripped Pelosi and the Dems and said her entire family of Dems, who voted for Hillary in 2016, will NEVER vote Dem again. “I’m a Democrat as well, but no longer will I vote Democrat. I think it’s outrageous that they sat there when all these good things are happening to our country and how much we love our country and they look like they hated our country,” the caller said. “And...

President Donald Trump arrives at the State of the Union address and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi extends her right hand to shake hands with him. He doesn't even acknowledge it and turns around.(video on source)

President Donald Trump used his State of the Union speech last night to call for protecting babies from late-term abortions, and he celebrated the gift of life by honoring a girl born so prematurely doctors didn’t know if she would survive. The president also celebrated jobs for Americans including women and minorities, thanked a soldier & his family for their service, honored a young boy and his educational pursuits, and asked that God bless the United States and provide it His grace. Apparently that was too much for pro-abortion Speaker Nancy Pelosi to handle — so she ripped up the...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., proved how divided the state of the union is by the "petty childish behavior" she exhibited after President Trump's address Tuesday night, former House speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday. Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade, Gingrich said he understands where the president is coming from when he snubs Pelosi. "Speaker Pelosi has attacked him for four solid months. She has called him the most vile names possible," he said. "You know, I introduced Bill Clinton four times when I was speaker of the House," Gingrich remarked, referring...
