Free Republic

Way back when, in the very beginning of Pandemic Time, March of 2020, I found an article that described a think-tank exercise determining how we might respond to a pandemic. It played out four response scenarios, with outcomes for each, from shutting down the economy, as we did, to doing nothing, emphasizing what each scenario would do to the world’s economy. I vaguely remember it being undertaken in either 2009 or 2014. I wish I could find this article, but it’s either been taken down or buried so deep it might as well have been. My bookmark disappeared. I remember,...

His wife just texted me. He passed away suddenly today. He wanted Free Republic to know. He was active on the Talk Radio threads, especially Levin, Limbaugh, Plante & others. His birthday was on Friday, 9/24/21. His wife just wrote: "No words". We know each other from WMAL events. May he Rest In Peace.

Following a violent storm sometimes comes a most beautiful rainbow. The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant to man, declaring that he will never again destroy nearly all of humanity by a cataclysmic flood. It reassures us that, despite the natural tendency of man towards depravity, God promised He would never again (save Noah’s family) wipe us off planet Earth. What God did not promise is that man would not cause great harm to his own kind. Indeed, we have seen the rise and fall of many nations, each warring against one another and exploiting the other’s weaknesses, strengths,...

This is an anonymously posted document by someone who calls themselves Spartacus. Because it’s anonymous, I can’t contact them to ask for permission to publish. So I hesitated for a while, but it’s simply the best document I’ve seen on Covid, vaccines, etc. Whoever Spartacus is, they have a very elaborate knowledge in “the field”. If you want to know a lot more about the no. 1 issue in the world today, read it. And don’t worry if you don’t understand every single word, neither do I. But I learned a lot.

As the disastrous policies, both domestic and international, of resident Joseph R. Biden (D) and his amateur and incompetent ideological crew continue to wreak havoc on America, the glories of President Donald J. Trump's talented and creative work, such as the Abraham Accords, continue. Just yesterday, during the Jewish holiday of Succoth, a group of over 300 prominent Iraqis, both of Sunni and Shiite outlooks, publicly announced their "call for full peace with Israel." Hundreds of Iraqi leaders and activists gathered in the country's Kurdistan region on Friday to publicly call for full normalization with Israel. The group, which includes...

When parents go to Back To School nights at their children’s schools, they’re accustomed to the fact that the teachers have personalized “their” classrooms, filling them with materials related to the subject matter. We’ve all seen, though, the teachers who have gone too far, bringing in personal or political material that has no place in a public school. In one Los Angeles classroom, parents discovered that a teacher had turned the classroom into an homage to far-left politics. Parents Defending Education, which describes itself as “a national, grassroots nonprofit empowering parents to advocate for classrooms that educate—not indoctrinate,” obtained photos...

I wish everyone would acknowledge that leftism is the party of death and destruction and anti American everything. Look at the truth and their actions it makes me sick that we haven’t thrown them out as a plaque of society.America deserves better.

I don't care if you hate Twitter. Get your butts over there an read MTG's Twitter feed. She is on freaking fire. She is methodically destroying Biden and laying out what's really happening in Afghanistan and the One Belt initiative, the war, and how it all ties together. We built the infrastructure that was to mine the rare earth materials, and now have all but given it to China. While our own roads deteriorate and we are going to be forced to drive crappy electric cars. SHE IS POINTING OUT GLOBALISM AND NAMING NAMES. This woman is a true patriot.

Could use some help please. I make a calendar every year for my dad that includes daily text entries to remind him of birthdays, but also has jokes and puns which he likes. I have always used the iPhoto calendar template in the past, but Apple no longer supports making calendars from iPhoto. Last year the Apple template was available but I had to order the calendar from Mimeo by sending them a PDF of my iPhoto calendar.. Mimeo has a calendar template but it limits text entries to maybe 20 words per date. I have searched all over but...

I am interested in treatment protocols (if any exist) for those who took the first 2 shots and now have regrets. I have a family member (older male with no co-morbidities except age~67) who took the PFE jab in Feb. or March...Regrets it now! Does not want boosters. So far, no ill effects of which I am aware...However, they are concerned. Is there anything that can be done to mitigate what seems to be emerging data on ill effects for those who took the shots early on? Therapies? Research?

“‘I’d rather be myself,’ he said. ‘Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.’” – Aldous Huxley, Brave New World “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance “Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can offer with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation, but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance “Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance “Even despotism does not produce...

“There a three questions that I think would destroy most of the arguments on the left. The first is, ‘Compared to what?’ The second is, ‘At what cost?’ And the third is, ‘What hard evidence do you have?’” “Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good. In area after area—crime, education, housing, race relations—the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the...

Our 18th century Framers were precise grammarians. They spent months debating in the stuffy Philadelphia state house to thrash out every concept, idea, detail, clause and yes, punctuation, that ended up in our beloved Constitution. From James Madison’s notes, there is no question that every detail had to first pass a committee composed of a few members, and then survive withering examination by a committee of all state delegates. Article I § 8 elaborates the declaration of limited legislative powers in Section 1: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall...

I decided to take if you want out of my busy day to talk about what happened a couple hours ago. During a working session one of my colleagues and 2 of my supervisors in the meeting began to brag about the second round of the “vaccine” that they had received and also began bragging about how awful they felt after the shot and in some cases, still feeling awful after a few days. Over the past few weeks, I have been hearing these common stories from friends and co-workers alike. Rough guess: at least 14 shot-takers; all but one...

John Titor was an alleged time traveler from the year 2036, who shared detailed information about his time machine, mission, and original timeline with forum users in the years 2000 and 2001. A Brief History Of John Titor In 1998, late night paranormal talk show host Art Bell received two faxes from an individual claiming to have pertinent information on the nature of time travel. In the first fax, the sender (at that time, unnamed) detailed the discovery of time travel (involving the particle accelerator at CERN) in the year 2034. He also claimed that a “brick wall” existed in...

As maximum leader, Raúl Castro tentatively initiated economic reforms in an effort to modernize Cuba’s stagnant economy. To create incentives for agricultural production, he authorized farmers to sell a percentage of their crops in private farmer’s markets; he designated a limited number of occupations to be licensed for small businesses and self-employment; permitted the use of cell phones, expanded Internet access and more. Of most consequence for Cuba’s economic development, Castro secretly negotiated a modus vivendi with the Obama administration. The historic accord to re-establish official diplomatic relations and work toward normalized economic ties was announced in December 2014, and...

Question to everyone that has gotten the vaccine. Which one did you get and did you have a reaction.

Mask tyranny reached a new low recently when a family was kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight because their four-year-old autistic son was not wearing a mask. The family was removed from the plane even though the boy’s doctor had decided the boy should be exempted from mask mandates because the boy panics and engages in behavior that could pose a danger to himself when wearing a mask. Besides, four-year-olds do not present much risk of spreading or contracting coronavirus. Even if masks did prevent infections among adults, there would be no reason to force children to wear masks. Mask...

Ultimately, the purpose of this website is educational: to chart communism's human-rights violations in a format in which its horrors can quickly and accessibly be comprehended.
