Free Republic

Ok. On NBC news I just caught a blurb by Chuck Todd and he was talking with Lester Holt about the vote in Pennsylvania. He admitted that some number of ballots (like 20,000) were being manufactured and counted. Like old dollar bills. All of this under the precise observations of qualified observers, of course! I hope someone has the strength and fortitude to stand up for the truth.

Who is the KING in America? Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary defined "KING" as: "KING, n. 1. The chief or SOVEREIGN of a nation; a man invested with supreme authority over a nation, tribe or country; a monarch. Kings are absolute." Kings have "subjects" who are subjected to their will. The word "citizen" is Greek, and has the connotation of co-ruler, co-sovereign, co-king. "Polis" is the Greek word for city, and "politics" was simply the "business of the city." The Greek city-state of Athens had about 6,000 citizens, and every citizen had to be at the marketplace everyday to talk politics....

The Libertarian vs. Liberal debate is confusing for some, but once you understand it, it’s clear as day. While both of these political thought processes have some areas that overlap, you’ll soon understand the fundamental differences between the history, modernization, and 20th century belief systems behind them.

Not so fast. The race has narrowed in #AZ considerably. 130,000 votes separate the candidates, with hundreds of thousands of votes yet to be counted, from all over the state. I'll say it again: Let's count the votes, and let the people decide rather than making declarations.

Yes! That partially makes up for the loss of Arizona

I guess Biden shouldn't have promised to shut down oil.

I was just wondering how the map has changed since 2016.

RUSH LIMBAUGH left his show in a HURRAY at 1:15pm today...with NO REASON GIVEN except that he had people speaking to him in his ear piece

A huge difference exists between liberal leftists and conservatives. Generally, liberals will organize, group together and defend one another while executing evil deeds EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER. They put aside differences for the moment until they are able to overcome the good forces that oppose them, THEN they fight with each other. Not always, but the vast majority operate that way. Conservatives, on the other hand, seem to argue about what is the right way to do something, are somewhat difficult to organize for taking positive action and tend to group together IF IT INVOLVES FAMILY OR...

Intelligent Design Passes Peer Review Life Is Fine-Tuned In his book The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins defined biology as “the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” Though our generation’s arch-atheist recognizes the tendency of human intuition to attribute things wonderful and complex to the work of a designer, he goes on to argue that life is not designed at all. His prior commitment to a worldview that understands the universe to be the product of eons of accidents and natural selection only imitates design is reflected in the book’s title:...

Of Course We’re Not a Democracy During the recent vice presidential debate, I pointed out on Twitter that our form of government in the United States is not a democracy, but a republic. The confused and vehement media criticism that ensued persuaded me that this point might be better served in an essay rather than a 140-character Tweet.Insofar as “democracy” means “a political system in which government derives its powers from the consent of the governed,” then of course that accurately describes our system. But the word conjures far more than that. It is often used to describe rule by majority,...

"A general, for whom I have zero respect, said to me, "Sir, we have no more ammunition.""

I'm on a lot of different websites, mostly private ones, that feature books, magazines, tv shows, movies, you name it. If it's in a digital format it's there. Usually I just browse and ignore but this latest issue of the New York Book Review had a cover that really tweaked my curiosity. I expected a good amount of TDS inside but I hoped for at least a small bit of balance. As a New Yorker would say, fuhgedaboutit. The closest it came to an opposing viewpoint was one author blaming Democratic complacency in 2016 for our current state of affairs....

Lets take Florida to start with.There are likely hundreds of major apartment,condo,retail centers,resorts that may have started going up in 2018/2019. Maybe 1/2 way there. And the same for the at least the booming states. Odds are that right now, we may have a few thousand construction projects that are either 30/40/50% built. And we see them. Now can you imagine what will happen if Biden wins? Right! half ass built condo buildings,shells of retail centers.Major resorts that had to stop construction because either banks or investors stopped funding the projects.Take a look at what is going on in Port...

Ideology in Science Is Destroying Trust Science should never be tainted by ideology. After all, science isn’t supposed to be about political beliefs but is a powerful method for learning about and understanding the physical universe.Science’s tools are decidedly empirical, i.e., observation, measurement, experimentation, falsification, and the like. To be effective, science must be pursued objectively. The point is to determine what is—not what one wants to be—real.Which is why I am so alarmed that highly respected science and medical journals are becoming so political. For example, Science—one of the world’s most respected scientific publications—recently published a stridently ideological column...

Critical Theory’s War on Critical Thinking A Virginia school district has decided that critical questions about Critical Theory “will not be tolerated.” Free speech is great and all, they say, but it is “outweighed” by the importance of dealing with social injustice and systemic racism. In other words, if taxpayers don’t like spending thousands of their dollars on foolish and destructive indoctrination for their kids, that is just too bad. They are, by default, in the wrong. What is “Critical Theory” Anyway? Its roots actually go back to some of those dastardly dead, white European intellectuals. Specifically it originated among neo-Marxists,...

Maxine Waters Republican challenger Joe Collins is made waves on Twitter Saturday after releasing a campaign video shot at Maxine Waters’ $6 million dollar mansion. In the video, Collins says “Maxine does not live in her district. But I do. I was born right here in South L.A., in a place Maxine refuses to live. Maxine Waters does not drink our water. She does not breathe our air. And while she sits here in her mansion, our district is in ruins.” “And why doesn’t Maxine Waters want to live in her own district? Because she doesn’t want to suffer the...

What cloud services are safe for conservatives from hacking or other mischief? What are best practices and tips for a modestly skilled mac user with no background in programming?
