Free Republic

A new poll of the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania suggests the race may be closer than previous polls — and pundits — have suggested. The race between Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) and Trump-endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz (R) is being closely watched. Sen. Pat Toomey (R) is retiring, giving Democrats an opportunity to pick up a seat and thwart Republican ambitions to take control of the upper chamber of Congress. Fetterman has led Oz in most polls, often by double digits. However, the race may be tightening. A poll by the Trafalgar Group shows Oz within 5 points of...

CNN projects Joe Lombardo will be the Republican nominee for governor.

Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak says he has raised $1.55 million in the first three months of the year and enters the thick of his re-election bid with $9.55 million cash on hand. Sisolak’s campaign said the governor has already collected more than $10 million this cycle, which it called the most ever raised for a gubernatorial candidate in state history. His campaign announced the fundraising totals — which it said included more than 10,000 individual donors this cycle — in a press release ahead of the Friday deadline for state-level candidates to turn in campaign finance reports for the first...

Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg voiced his opposition to Black Lives Matter activist Quintez Brown, who is accused of attempting to shoot Greenberg last week, of being bailed out of jail only two days after the attempted shooting. The Black Lives Matter Louisville chapter said on Wednesday they were in the process of getting a cashier's check to post Brown’s $100,000 bail. The money used to bail Brown came from the Louisville Community Bail Fund. "Our criminal justice system is clearly broken. It's nearly impossible to believe that someone can attempt murder on Monday and walk out of jail on...

Georgia GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler clapped back at former President Barack Obama’s defense of anti-American Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The former president justified Rev. Wright’s infamous “G-d damn America” sermon, claiming his words were taken out of context, and dubbed Rev. Wright as a "supremely gifted preacher." "In national politics, if you can take out a bunch of sound bites that say 'God damn America,' even if the context of it is prophetic and biblical and he's trying to describe you know how somebody might feel – he wasn't promoting the notion that God was damning America," the former president said....

"To hear Ambassador Rice talk that way, it's just crazy," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday, following Rice's Sunday appearance on "Meet the Press," where she blasted the Trump administration for "incompetence" regarding raw intelligence that Russia paid the Taliban to kill American troops in Afghanistan. In her Sunday appearance, Rice acted as though the unverified intelligence about Russian bounties was factual. "The message to Vladimir Putin is you can kill American service men and women with absolute impunity," she said. "You know, she has a history of going on Sunday shows and lying," Pompeo told Fox News's...

Bernie Sanders leads the race for the Democratic nomination. He may become America's first self-described "democratic socialist" president. What does that mean? Today, when Sanders talks about socialism, he says: "I'm not looking at Cuba. I'm looking at countries like Denmark and Sweden." But Denmark and Sweden are not socialist. Denmark's prime minister even came to America to refute Sanders' claims, pointing out that "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy." Both Denmark and Sweden do give citizens government-run health care and have bigger welfare programs than America has. However, recently, they've moved away from socialism. Because their socialist...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is leading the Democrat primary field in Utah, a Salt Lake Tribune/Suffolk University poll released Monday showed. Suffolk University conducted the poll January 18 – 22, 2020, among 132 Democrat primary voters. It showed the socialist senator leading by double digits with 27 percent support overall. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) came in a distant second with 14 percent support, followed by Joe Biden (D) and Michael Bloomberg (D) with 12 percent and ten percent, respectively. Even though the margin of error is +/- 8.5 percentage points, Sanders’ lead is outside statistical error.

As an increasing number of American college students embrace socialism, two young Venezuelans who witnessed the destruction of their country through Hugo Chavez's "revolution" are visiting U.S. campuses with a message of warning. "I definitely see America committing a lot of the same mistakes Venezuela committed," said 25-year-old Andrés Guilarte. He's been joined on the tour by Jorge Galicia, 24, reports the College Fix. "No one else can know what happened in Venezuela but a Venezuelan, and we are experts on that," Galicia said.

Elizabeth Warren is on the way to securing the Democrat nomination, and the ensuing general election battle will be a re-run of Little Bighorn except, ironically, Sitting Bolshevik will be Custer. Trump’s going to drag her kicking and screaming and nagging, always nagging, down the trail of tears until that glorious November night when Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and maybe Minnesota all express their reservations over sending this tiresome scold to the White Wigwam in Washington. Oh, are you a True Conservative™ who gets the sadz at this Mohican mockery? Too bad, you sissy submissives – you have not seen the...

Full Intro: Where women call the shots The nation’s first majority-female legislature is currently meeting in Nevada. Carson City may never be the same. She didn’t plan to say it. Yvanna Cancela, a newly elected Democrat in the Nevada Senate, didn’t want to “sound crass.” But when a Republican colleague defended a century-old law requiring doctors to ask women seeking abortions whether they’re married, Cancela couldn’t help firing back. “A man is not asked his marital status before he gets a vasectomy,” she countered — and the packed hearing room fell silent. Since Nevada seated the nation’s first majority-female state...

There is a most alarming thing going on in America – a slimy, poisonous lie that must hide in the darkness of misconceptions, the fog of deceit and misrepresentation to exist. It can never be exposed to the light of full disclosure and total truth or it would be suffocated by the knowledge of its history and catastrophic ramifications. Due to the failure of our educational system, a media that no longer leans to the left but has completely lost its footing and fully fallen head over heels in that direction, our ignoring the old adage “learn from history or...

Hugh Hewitt once wrote the book “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat: Crushing the Democrats In Every Election And Why Your Life Depends On It.” In 1960, Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago (where five out of every three living people vote Democratic) created the 8,858 votes by which John F. Kennedy carried Illinois over Richard Nixon. In 2008, Minnesota Democrats conjured enough votes from nowhere to turn a Republican Norm Coleman 725-vote victory for Senate into a 312-vote recount win for comic Democrat Al Franken by such tricks as discovering a full ballot box in the trunk of a...

Celebrities that are sick of Donald Trump and the GOP have spent the few weeks leading up to today’s midterms crying about the “raving lunatic” President as they stoked their liberal fans to get to the polls to halt the GOP’s “nascent fascism.” Comedian Rosie O’Donnell even called for a coup: “I want to send the military to the White House to get him.” Singer/actress Barbra Streisand confessed to Trump keeping her awake at nights and actress/activist Jane Fonda saw the “parallels” to the Nazis: “If you’ve read anything about the rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler, you...

Democrat Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema, who is running against Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally to replace Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, has been exposed in recent weeks for saying it's fine if Americans join the Taliban, that Arizona is the "meth lab" of Democracy and that the Grand Canyon State not only produces copper, but "crazy." Now, the far left radical who is running as a moderate has been caught on video saying Arizonans, who live in the most pro-Second Amendment state in the country, will "actually shoot you."

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein easily secured the top runoff spot in her re-election race despite a challenge from the Left on Tuesday. Progressives boosted state Sen. Kevin de Leon’s bid against Feinstein, urging the veteran senator to step aside and make room for the next generation. But Feinstein’s support in California runs deep and de Leon has been unable to overcome his name recognition deficit. She led de Leon, who also advanced to the general election, by more than 30 points.

Is Soros money becoming the kiss of death for candidates who take it? Sure looks like it, based on the miserable poll performance of Soros's little pawn in the San Diego district attorney's race. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune: A political action committee funded by billionaire George Soros that has pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaign of Genevieve Jones-Wright for district attorney canceled all of its planned television advertising Wednesday for the candidate, just six days before voters go to the polls. The move by the California Justice & Public Safety PAC, confirmed by two local...

Stacey Abrams easily defeated Stacey Evans in the Georgia Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday that attracted national attention. Now, Abrams will attempt to make history by becoming the nation's first black female governor — and Georgia's first woman governor — by winning the general election in November in a state that Republicans still dominate. "We are writing the next chapter of Georgia history, where no one is unseen, no one is unheard and no one is uninspired," Abrams told supporters in Atlanta Tuesday night at her victory party. "Now let's go get it done." Evans quickly backed Abrams, declaring that Democrats...

A Democratic congressional candidate from the state of New Mexico, Pat Davis has found himself in the national spotlight for his viral "**** the NRA" advertisement. Davis is getting even more attention for his interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night over another one of his controversial, and false, advertisements where he claims an AR-15 can fire 150 rounds in 15 seconds. But Pat Davis' controversial gun control advertisements aren't the only controversial thing about the candidate and current Albuquerque city councilor. In 2013, while chairman of the Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers, Pat Davis was arrested on an...

You hear about the Trump country bubble and the liberal bubble, though the latter one is much, much denser. There may be one that could rival the dome encompassing Hillary’s America: the anti-gun bubble. You’d think after multiple tragedies and shoddy reporting concerning gun terminology, the media and their ilk would learn. They haven’t. It’s gotten worse. After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in February, the media still doesn’t know the difference between semi-automatic and automatic, one outlet thought a shotgun was an AR-15 rifle, and the media still doesn’t know that a) the AR-15 is a very...
