Free Republic

Ned Ryun has written a new book, American Leviathan, and I was fortunate to get my hands on an advance copy. If you don’t know Ned, he’s the founder of American Majority and Voter Gravity, grassroots organizations that specialize in fighting the culture war at the local level and electing America First conservatives. On cable news channels and in his writing, he’s an eloquent defender of the Constitution, limited government, and the American Republic as the Founding Fathers intended. I highly recommend that you read American Leviathan and share it with friends — especially friends who struggle to see clearly...

Editor’s Note: The thought police at Google immediately slapped a restraining order on this editorial — as they now do with everything we publish about “climate change” to punish us for not toeing the line. Here is the notice we received from them:What do the climate activists really want? Do they have nothing more in mind than a noble crusade to prevent the burning sky from falling on us? Or is the global warming scare just another piece of the revolution? It’s of course the latter. We know this because they’re constantly telling us it is. The most recent admission...

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed superseding indictments against former President Donald Trump, despite a federal judge previously ruling Smith was unlawfully appointed to pursue. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding to know who authorized this new indictment. In July, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed to his prosecution of Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 Election. As Fox News described, the prosecutor filed a new, amended indictment into a separate probe, which Rep. Gaetz suggests has even less legal validity in his letter. "It is unclear what...

This November’s election will determine whether the U.S. remains a viable constitutional republic or becomes a one-party state.The election of 2024 will be epochal for the United States. It will be as impactful on the course of the nation as the election of 1860 and the ensuing Civil War. This November’s election will determine whether the U.S. remains a viable constitutional republic or becomes a one-party state. If Vice President Kamala Harris wins, the result will be the realization of President Obama’s intent, voiced in his famous 2008 remark, to “fundamentally transform” the United States. Thus, the election is important...

The following is an excerpt from RealClearPublishing's new book by Joseph B. Sweeney, "Dangerous Injustice: How Democrats Weaponized the DOJ to Protect Biden and Persecute Trump." Examples of the Democratic Party’s corruption of the American justice system for political means can be traced back to at least former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Continuing and escalating throughout Trump’s presidency, and after, the aggressive weaponization of federal law enforcement against Trump reached the unimaginable when on August 8, 2022, thirty Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, armed and authorized to use deadly force, raided the home of the former president...

“As long as Columbia continues to invest and to benefit from Israeli apartheid, the students will continue to resist” The radical, anti-Israel mob has returned to the campus of Columbia University, after taking the summer off. Despite having months to prepare for this, the school looked like it was caught flat-footed, as protesters picked up right where they left off last spring. What are these people going to have to do before authorities take them seriously? As Columbia resumes classes, student activists vow to carry on with protests against Israel Columbia University resumed classes Tuesday with students sunbathing and eating...

Kamala: I will direct the DOJ to censor "misinformation and hate" online

The current unifying theme among a set of people who regard themselves as progressive, liberal, mainstream, respectable, and so on, is a spectacular punishment fetish. Arrest them arrest them arrest them arrest them, they helpfully explain about people who disagree with them about anything, ever. See, for an easy example of the discipline fetish, this quite popular reader-generated “diary” post from a few days ago at Daily Kos, arguing that Tulsi Gabbard’s “Quiet Skies” designation is a proper use of the state security apparatus against a domestic enemy: It seems to this reader that our intelligence services are merely doing...

Your long-held suspicions are confirmed, according to a report: Your phone really is listening to you. A marketing firm whose clients include Facebook and Google has privately admitted that it listens to users’ smartphone microphones and then places ads based on the information that is picked up, according to 404 Media. Cox Media Group, the television and radio news conglomerate, admitted in a pitch deck to investors that its “Active Listening” software uses artificial intelligence to “capture real-time intent data by listening to our conversations,” according to the report. “Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market...

Elon Musk is rapidly transforming his enormous wealth – he’s the richest person in the world – into a huge source of unaccountable political power that’s now backing Trump and other authoritarians around the world. Musk owns X, formerly known as Twitter. He publicly endorsed Donald Trump last month. Before that, Musk helped form a pro-Trump super political action committee. Meanwhile, the former US president has revived his presence on the X platform.

This follow today's announcement of Brazil's Supreme Court officially banning X in the country.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice has given Ret. Special Forces Green Beret another preposterous but expected ultimatum: Take a plea agreement for four misdemeanor charges or face the full wrath of the United States government! The Biden administration has warned Jeremy that he now faces up to 20 years in prison. He is an innocent man who is being targeted by his government. Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and former Republican candidate for Congress in Florida’s 14th Congressional District. Brown served in the United States Army from 1992 to 2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces...

Chicago is testing a mass surveillance tool to detect guns at CTA stations, even as debate rages around the effectiveness of another detection system used by the city, ShotSpotter. The Chicago Transit Authority announced Thursday it is one month into a year-long pilot program with ZeroEyes, a company that uses artificial intelligence to identify guns in surveillance video and alert police. The CTA says it has deployed the technology on about 250 cameras at L stations — but it won’t say which stations, citing security concerns. CTA spokeswoman Maddie Kilgannon defended the new technology as adding more “eyes” to its...

Keir Starmer has confirmed he is looking at banning smoking from some outdoor spaces such as pub gardens. Smoking could be banned from specified outdoor areas including outside nightclubs and restaurant terraces in a clampdown on tobacco use across the country. Ministers are said to be considering a number of policies as Mr Starmer accelerates plans to make Britain smoke-free. The Prime Minister confirmed to journalists in Paris that he is looking at changes to smoking laws after leaked documents suggested smoking would be banned in outside sports stadiums, in children's parks, in pub gardens, outside nightclubs, on restaurant terraces,...

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that she continues to be under surveillance by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under their controversial 'Quiet Skies' program on Sunday, August 25. A vocal supporter of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, Gabbard shared evidence of her being monitored in an Instagram story, where she posted a picture of her flight ticket with "SSSS" printed at the top. She encircled the part, marking it as a known indicator of the "Quiet Skies" watchlist, and used the hashtags "#AndStill #QuietSkies". What is 'Quiet Skies'? According to the Boston Globe, "Quiet...

George Orwell’s Dystopia Realized

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office won’t oppose former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his upcoming sentencing in his Manhattan criminal case, prosecutors said in a letter Monday, potentially punting the ex-president’s sentencing until after the election as he appeals an upcoming ruling over whether the verdict against him should be thrown out. Trump has asked for the sentencing in his criminal case, now scheduled for September 18, to be postponed until after the November election, arguing he should have time to appeal a ruling set to come out on September 16 over whether the verdict against him should be...

A plasterer who admitted to stirring up racial hatred on Facebook has been sentenced to 21 months in prison. Daniel Kingsley, 33, from Shotton in Flintshire, posted racist messages on social media on 8 and 10 August, as part of the disorder in England and Northern Ireland. Kingsley is a "bigot" who holds "deeply offensive and racist views", judge Rhys Rowlands said during sentencing at Mold Crown Court. He added that he hoped this case would "stand as an example to any others thinking of inciting hatred". Prosecutor David Mainstone shared two posts with the court that Kingsley made on...

Democrat Party is filled with radical, extreme, Marxist, communist traitors who want to destroy America. Pure evil. Satan inspired. They are the enemies of good patriotic Americans. They are the real “domestic terrorists.” But my party- the GOP- is a party of weak-willed, feckless, cowards afraid of their own shadow, and sellouts who claim to be Republicans, but really play for the other side.” ... January 6th prisoners- who have become political hostages, enduring cruel and unusual punishment. Jake Lang stands out as one of the most egregious cases in this country’s history. He’s spent almost four years in prison...

I’ve been filming on borders around the world since early 2019, and I always encounter government agents who want to tell me what’s really going on behind the scenes. My latest tour on the border in Jacumba, California, has been no different. An agent who spoke to me under the condition he remains anonymous told me that immediately after Joe Biden took office in 2021, official email communications from his administration instructed all Border Patrol agents to turn in family members, friends, and co-workers if they believed that the election was stolen or tampered with. The communications also directed agents...
