Free Republic

Donald J. Trump is my president. I'm proud to have supported him from the first he announced his intention to run, and I am honored to have voted for the only man since President Reagan to truly care about the American people and our country. President Trump went a long way toward Making America Great Again. I don't care about the Lucifarian progeny who view incestuous, malevolent political collectives, industrialized baby killing, communism and godless sexual practices as the lofty attainments of the demonic. The craven and boorish Republican gentry that established new land-speed records in the abandonment of President...

"Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack has been slammed for using a controversial phrase on racial injustice, which Labor (the “progressive” Australian Labor Party) has blasted as “beyond disgusting”. Mr McCormack told reporters “all lives matter” on Tuesday, a phrase criticised for detracting from the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and the fight for racial justice. The Nationals leader, who is filling in for Scott Morrison while he’s on holidays, used the phrase as he rejected criticism for comparing pro-Trump rioters’ attack on Washington’s Capitol to anti-racism demonstrations across the US last year." cf https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2020/09/06/respecting-the-police-its-a-two-way-street/

A large group of Antifa and Black Lives Matter demonstrators wearing black bloc and carrying shields marched in the streets of Manhattan on Sunday. While the group remained mostly peaceful, a female social-media journalist came under attack for “supporting Trump.” A group of about 25 demonstrators wearing black bloc and carrying defensive shields formed up in an intersection in Manhattan to begin a march to Times Square, independent journalist Andy Ngo revealed in a video from journalist Dean Moses.

A British police chief has lamented the fact that her leadership team is white, saying it is “not OK that we look like we do”. “If we look at the Chief Officer group of this constabulary, we are half female and have all sorts of other diverse characteristics – but we are all white,” said Chief Constable Olivia Pinkney. “I’m really aware of that and so I’m doing what I can to mitigate in the short term and I have a very detailed plan, which also national policing has as well, to try and shift that balance,” she vowed. “It’s...

On Sunday night's PBS NewsHour Weekend, they bizarrely decided to discuss the "truth" and misinformation with... disgraced CBS News anchor/fake news purveyor Dan Rather, selling his old book What Unites Us that came out in 2017 (even the paperback is from 2019). His fraudulent smears of George W. Bush in 2004 never came up. Stephen L. Miller offered the mind-boggled conservative response to this:

On Friday, Twitter joined a slew of other social media companies in permanently suspending Donald Trump’s accounts. Subsequently, many other conservative users found themselves deplatformed by the tech giant. The tech oligarchs’ argument is that Trump’s social media presence incites violence, as evidenced by the riot in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.Twitter argued that several of Trump’s tweets violated its Glorification of Violence policy, which states, “You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence.”Unsurprisingly, there are countless Twitter accounts that regularly call for harm or violence, in violation...

A legislative counsel member from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has issued a rebuke after Facebook and Twitter decided to suspend American President Donald Trump from their platforms. Kate Ruane, a senior legislative counsel at the ACLU, released a statement condemning Facebook and Twitter’s decision to suspend Trump, warning against “unchecked power” and the precedent it sets for other activists.

Remember the Trump-hating Lincoln Project? That was the big-dollar NeverTrump group that included among its luminaries George Conway, the unhinged Trump-hating husband of the unfortunate Kellyanne Conway. They included many Dubya Bush administration operatives who'd been left out of the Trump administration and wanted revenge. Their loathing of Trump only got greater after that, and they threw their support to Joe Biden, raising $78 million and creating extremely nasty presidential campaign ads to take down Trump. They worked closely with Democrats and took their money, promising to help peel away Republicans to help Joe Biden. When that didn't happen and...

Liberal journalist Glenn Greenwald scorched the left-wing establishment and Big Tech for taking totalitarian measures against conservatives. Greenwald condemned Big Tech after multiple platforms purged sitting President Donald Trump. “A handful of Silicon Valley oligarchs decide who can and cannot be heard, including the President of the United States. They exert this power unilaterally, with no standards, accountability or appeal,” Greenwald lamented in a Jan. 7 tweet. He warned followers on Jan. 8: “The centralized power over US democracy (and other democracies) concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of unaccountable Silicon Valley oligarchs is stunning, unprecedented and unsustainable.”...

Clearview AI, a facial-recognition app law enforcement uses to track down criminals, has seen a surge in use since the Capitol Hill riots on Wednesday, according to the company’s CEO. “There was a 26 percent increase of searches over our usual weekday search volume,” Clearview AI CEO Hoan Ton-That told the New York Times. There are many online photos and videos of rioters, often depicted not wearing masks, storming the Capitol. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has posted the faces of dozens of them and has asked the public for help in identifying them. Local police departments across the...

The US Attorney for Washington DC has launched a federal excessive force investigation into the death of the Trump-supporting Air Force veteran who was shot dead when rioters breached the US Capitol. The office of Michael Sherwin, the Acting US Attorney for the District of Columbia, confirmed a formal probe is underway into the shooting death of 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, according to the New York Times. Sherwin has assigned his civil rights division to lead the case, which is currently under investigation by both the FBI and the DC Metropolitan Police Department. Babbit, from San Diego, was shot in the...

President-elect Joe Biden said Americans will get $2,000 stimulus checks if Democrats win both Georgia runoffs. During a Monday rally in Atlanta, Biden said the payments would “go out the door immediately” if Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock win the state’s U.S. Senate seats, saying their victories would “put an end to the block in Washington” on approving the $2,000 payments.

Back when Parler was first taking off, I warned that its app-based dependency meant that two companies, Apple and Google, can eliminate it anytime they like. It was only a matter of time. The transition from desktops and laptops to Android and IOS devices mean that users are operating in a walled garden run by two very lefty companies. Those companies can do with the garden what they please. Those users who choose to jailbreak their devices have more options, but most don't. Conservatives can try to distribute the knowledge more widely and encourage that kind of self-empowerment. But the...

Scores of conservatives and I have said for many years that Republicans (not conservatives – they're not the same) would rather lose elections and become the permanent minority party than have to throw-in with us trailer park, constitutional rabble. And it's true. The spineless, stand-for-nothing Republican Party really does believe that we true conservatives are an inferior breed. Not that we're necessarily bad people, it's that we have conviction, we stand for something, have principles, values and won't compromise them at the drop of a hat. In other words, we just don't get how things are done, etc. Then I...

Democratic Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, two of President-elect Joe Biden’s Thursday cabinet picks, have a history of advocating for gun control, a Daily Caller News Foundation review found. Raimondo, Biden’s pick for Commerce Secretary, pushed for a package of firearms bills in February of 2019, including a so-called “assault weapons” ban, a prohibition on “high-capacity” magazines and a permanent ban on 3D-printed guns, according to WJAR. The governor also spearheaded measures to mandate gun sellers transmit firearm purchase applications to local police departments, require safe gun storage in one’s home and prohibit the carry...

I had this week's column all written and ready to go, until the events of Wednesday occurred. I trashed the column and stayed glued to the computer as the events in Washington, D.C., unfolded. I went to bed Wednesday night and hardly slept. I tossed and turned and watched the clock for hours. Election fraud. Antifa provocateur riots. Chaos. Anarchy. Murder. My thoughts tumbled around, each more dire than the last, as I speculated on what the upcoming year would bring. I finally realized the reason behind my sleeplessness: I was mourning America. The events of the last couple months...

Amid a wave of resignations, onetime ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence came to the defense of his former boss on Friday, arguing the "feeding frenzy" is mostly confined to Washington. Trump is being judged by the Washington establishment's standard of what makes a good politician, he told Neil Cavuto in a Fox Business interview, and Trump is not a politician. "I think there is a little bit of a feeding frenzy in Washington, and I just don't see it outside of Washington," he said. About a dozen top- or mid-level administration officials have resigned this week,...

President Trump tweeted on his @POTUS account that he is “negotiating with various other sites” after his ban from Twitter. The tweets were swiftly removed.In a series of four tweets from the official @POTUS government Twitter account, the President broke his silence following the ban of his personal @realDonaldTrump account this evening.The first tweet from the POTUS account following President Trump’s Twitter ban received well over 10 thousands retweets, and over 16 thousand likes, with supporters of the President backing his message. However, within three minutes of posting the Twitter thread, it was removed.“As I have been saying for a...

The CEO of Twitter alternative Parler, John Matze, has condemned the censorship of President Trump by social media companies, after Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram announced bans of the president’s accounts yesterday. “If free speech truly is the enemy and we must restrict and censor the voices of people to keep our country safe, then our country is already lost,” Matze said. “If one man’s voice is a threat to our nation but his holding of the presidential office is not, than [sic] it is apparent the powers of the presidency are less powerful than a single voice.” “Why should any...

The day after riots brought the U.S. Capitol to a standstill, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) noted that “several” representatives were happy to be armed while barricaded in their offices. Following the riotous events, Massie tweeted, “The next member who argues Congressmen shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at work needs to be laughed out of the Capitol.” He added, “Several of us were glad to be armed while barricaded for hours in our offices with our staff.” Massie co-chairs the House Second Amendment Caucus along with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). On January 3, 2021 — just three days before the...
