Free Republic

@RepThomasMassie Survivors at our press conference announced they are privately compiling their own Epstein list. They would be sued into homelessness for naming names, but @RepMTG and I are willing to name names in the House of Representatives under Constitutional “speech or debate” immunity.

Five House Republicans helped Democrats kill a motion to censure Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ) on Wednesday. GOP Congressman Clay Higgins forced a censure vote on LaMonica McIver after she was charged with assaulting federal agents at an ICE facility in May. Every Democrat, with the help of five insufferable Republicans, killed the motion. The five Republican lawmakers included: Don Bacon, Mike Flood, Dave Joyce, Mike Turner and David Valadao.

When Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, dispatched his National Guard troops to Washington to support President Trump’s crackdown on crime, Democrats and other critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis, after all, has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the country, with a murder rate about twice as high as the nation’s capital, according to F.B.I. statistics. Nashville has a higher rate of violent crime than Washington as well. The same questions could be asked of other Republican governors like Greg Abbott in Texas, Mike DeWine in Ohio and Mike Kehoe in Missouri,...

.... Massie also has an ally in Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a fellow self-described libertarian who describes Massie as a good friend. “I’m a big supporter of his, and vice versa. I’m planning a 10-city tour with him in September to support him, and we will do what it takes. We both represent sort of the liberty wing of the Republican Party,” Paul said. “We want to make sure that we don’t allow anybody to come in and try to defeat him.” Paul is the only GOP senator who voted against Trump’s megabill because of debt concerns, but, unlike Massie,...

“That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.” It’s hard to believe that the Russiagate plotters are so stupid, but the declassified documents tumbling out of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s files show that, while they had a lot of power and managed to hide their nefarious activities for almost a decade, President Barack Obama’s henchmen were none too bright. The latest tranche of declassified emails has Obama’s DNI, James Clapper, telling then-Director of the National Security Agency Mike Rogers essentially to shut up and put his name to the intelligence community assessment (ICA) that Clapper and then-CIA Director...

Brant Frost V recently resigned as the Chairman of the Coweta GOP, amidst the scandal and legal woes that the First Liberty Ponzi scheme has rained down on his entire family. As a primer, First Liberty Building and Loan collapsed in June under what the SEC refers to as a Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of $140 million. Brant Frost V is the son of Brant Frost IV, and was an employee of First Liberty. Now, another one of his entities is under investigation. The Georgia Republican Assembly Political Action Committee, (GRA PAC), had a series of violations according to...

The Senate on Tuesday night narrowly confirmed Justice Department official Emil Bove to a seat on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, hours after his confirmation was stalled over whistleblower reports that he is under investigation. Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey requested information about the alleged investigation after a third whistleblower said Bove misled the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing. The whistleblowers also allege Bove abused his authority while working for the Justice Department. The Senate confirmed Bove in a 50-49 split. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski...

In an interview last week with conservative influencer Benny Johnson, Flynn claimed that Pence and Ryan actively plotted to undermine Trump and, upon his removal from office, were prepared to step in to govern in his place.

The US Senate on Thursday voted to advance Emil Bove’s confirmation to the Florida-based Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Toxin RINOs Murkowski (Alaska) and Collins (Maine) voted against invoking cloture. Collins said on MSNBC on Tuesday that Emil Bove “would not serve as an impartial jurist” based on his work to ferret out corrupt prosecutors while serving as acting Deputy Attorney General. The Senate broke the filibuster so they will have 30 hours of debate. Emil Bove can be confirmed as soon as Monday.

Though she has claimed the DIGNITY Act is not amnesty legislation, her own words undercut that defense.Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., admitted in a recent interview that her DIGNITY Act could serve as a launchpad for eventually granting citizenship to hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals currently in the United States.The DIGNITY Act, according to a press release from Salazar’s office, “allows certain long-term undocumented immigrants to earn legal status, without amnesty or a path to citizenship” so that illegal aliens who broke the law can have an “opportunity.” The bill would create a “7-year earned legal status program allowing”...

For a party with such distrust in the mainstream media, Republicans certainly put a lot of stock in the headlines about PEPFAR. While thousands of people would most certainly not die from the targeted cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, Senate Republicans are determined to keep throwing taxpayer dollars at the Democrats’ woke programs in the name of “foreign aid.” In a blow to Donald Trump’s goal to end government bloat and abuse, moderate senators — led by Susan Collins (R-Maine) — threw a tantrum over the White House’s plan to shave a fraction ($400 million) of...

It clearly illustrates congressional Republicans’ apparent compulsion to betray their base.Conservatives supported the Big Beautiful Bill on the promise that it would kick deportations and border enforcement into overdrive, and less than two weeks later Republicans have stabbed them in the back with an amnesty bill.On Tuesday, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., reintroduced the DIGNITY Act alongside a cadre of fellow Republicans as well as Democrats. Her office couched the legislation in words like “dignity” and “opportunity,” saying it will allow “certain long-term undocumented immigrants to earn legal status, without amnesty or a path to citizenship.”Salazar gave a speech on...

Two leftist congresswomen have introduced an illegal-alien amnesty bill they have disguised as a “reasonable, compassionate, and final solution to America’s immigration crisis.” Republican Maria Salazar of Florida and Democrat Veronica Escobar of Texas call their bill “The Dignity Act.” They claim it will secure the southwest border, deter illegal immigration, and provide a tough pathway to permanent legal status for illegals. Critics claim the bill is an amnesty that will not only halt mass deportations, but also permit illegal-alien gang members to stay in the country. Frighteningly, nine Republicans have co-sponsored the bill. DetailsSalazar, the daughter of Cuban exiles,...

This insidious slogan is once again being used by Republicans to justify another amnesty bill. A group of congressional Republicans have joined Democrats in an effort to push through an amnesty bill by performing two cheap tricks: repeat the tired trope that we’re a “nation of immigrants” and redefine “amnesty” as “dignity.”The bipartisan bill, dubbed the DIGNITY Act, was introduced this week by Republican Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, who has lately been on a media tour to promote what she calls, falsely, “a revolutionary bill that offers the solution to our immigration crisis.”But of course Salazar’s bill isn’t “revolutionary,”...

Nothing will ever be easy with congressional Republicans. The reconciliation package aged all of us 35 years, as Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had to whip votes, hold the line, and make some phone calls. President Trump was also working the phones heavily when final passage was at stake in the House. Republican leadership held the line, but with Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) retiring after the reconciliation vote, delivering what’s left of the Trump agenda before the 2026 midterms is about to get even tougher. The House did its job and passed the rescission package, but...

President Donald Trump has officially thrown his weight behind RINO Lindsey Graham—whose record includes climate pandering, open-borders showmanship, and globe-trotting war-baiting—in the 2026 Senate race.“Happy Birthday to Senator Lindsey Graham!” Trump posted, along with a smiling golf-course photo of the two. “He is always there when I need him, and I hope everyone in the Great State of South Carolina will help Lindsey have a BIG WIN in his re-election bid next year.”But if the goal was to rally the MAGA faithful around the career politician, Trump may be in for a surprise.“Thank you, Mr. President! This means a great...

On Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk warned that there’s a concerted “influence campaign” underway in Washington to quietly steer President Donald Trump toward granting mass amnesty—even after he secured a major border-and-security funding package. Kirk says elite “ruling class” players, emboldened by recent spending wins, are now pressuring Trump to “come to the middle” on immigration by legalizing up to 25 million undocumented residents. Since the promise of mass deportations helped win Trump the White House, conservative voters now fear that a shift toward “soft amnesty” could alienate their base. Don’t worry, the Trump administration has put those...

While people are distracted by the holidays and the Big Beautiful Bill, there is another serious push for immigration amnesty in Washington. You'll hear the same lines we've always heard: Crops rotting in the field, economic collapse, global hunger, and more (even though countless other countries harvest plenty of food without needed imported serf labor) Here’s the key thing to know: We’ve seen this EXACT same script run before. Literally, the same one. The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, better known as the “Reagan Amnesty,” gave a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who worked as farm laborers. The...

Internal MAGA opposition to President Donald Trump’s support for Israel’s campaign to destroy the Iranian nuclear program is not about helping him preserve his legacy or holding him to his promises about avoiding Middle East conflicts or foregoing regime-change wars. If these issues were that important to the right-wing voices who are now rising against his Iran policy, they could’ve voted instead for Kamala Harris, who, like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, wanted to legitimize Iran’s bomb and flood Iran’s war chests with hundreds of billions of dollars. Trump voters knew exactly where Trump stood on Iran because he has...

@RepMTG My thoughts on bombing Iran. I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs. Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact. However America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel’s sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels international terrorists networks. Neocon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses...
