Free Republic

Donald Trump has frequently poured scorn on those who served in the US military. Even though he avoided serving after obtaining a note from a friendly doctor who said he had bone spurs, he famously mocked late Republican John McCain, the 2008 presidential candidate and a prisoner-of-war, saying he preferred people who did not get captured. He would later stun his chief of staff, former Marine General John Kelly, during a visit to France for the centennial anniversary of the end of the First World War, when he allegedly claimed those who gave their lives were “suckers” and “losers”. Now,...

Donald Trump’s rambling speeches and stream-of-consciousness press briefings could be symptoms of his “cognitive decline,” according to one of America’s top rhetoric experts. The warning comes as Trump and his aides are seeking a congressional probe into Joe Biden’s mental state during his one-term presidency. The extent to which Biden, now 82, hid his capability has led to major questions over whether he was fit to lead the country.

Former Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) called Elon Musk a “thief” and a “Nazi” during a fiery CNN segment Thursday night. After Joe Borelli, the ex-Republican leader on the New York City Council, argued that much of the discontent at Republican congressmen’s town hall events were protests organized by Democrats, Bowman interrupted to insist that “that’s not true.” “That’s not true. And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk,” began Bowman. “And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people, it was challenged in...

And they told CBC News that the most potent weapon wielded by the Trump administration to advance the cause of annexation would likely not be the intelligence agencies directed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. "I would regard Mr. Musk as a problem," said Ward Elcock, who headed CSIS for a decade including during the 9/11 attacks and also served as national security adviser. "I think that's on a number...

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin baselessly said Friday that people will die because of President Donald Trump’s cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, though the president has repeatedly said the two programs will not be touched. The co-host raged at the ten congressional Democrats who voted to censure Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green Friday for disrupting Trump’s congressional address, arguing that they need to fight against the cuts to Social Security and Medicaid. Trump has promised that the two programs will not be cut, but that has not stopped Democrats from claiming that these programs are in danger. “They don’t...

Zelensky’s Oval Office meeting with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance went sideways as soon as he became defiant and tried taking control of the negotiations. Trump and Vance absolutely lit Zelensky up as he folded his arms and tried to lecture the United States. “Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” Vance said.

The View may soon have to issue another legal note or face a lawsuit from the world’s richest man following a vicious lie by leftist co-host Joy Behar. While discussing DOGE, the infamous talking head decided to mock Elon Musk’s immigrant heritage during a vile tirade. She first attempted to smear Musk as a racist, claiming that he was pro-apartheid. Musk was a vociferous opponent of apartheid in South Africa and attended multiple apartheid rallies. Moreover, the evil regime Musk grew up in taught him not to discriminate against his fellow man, according to his father. But these facts did...

The View co-host Joy Behar apologized to Elon Musk live on-air after calling him 'pro-apartheid.' Behar made the claim during a rant on Thursday's show against the South African billionaire and his relationship with President Donald Trump. 'The guy was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa,' she said, later calling Musk a 'foreigner' and 'a foreign agent.' 'So, [he] has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as I understand it.' After a commercial break, Behar retracted the comment and admitted that she had no evidence of it being a true. 'Now I'm...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said that the only reason he can find to dismiss Gen. CQ Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is “this slander that he’s woke and DEI.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump had “legitimized” political violence against Democrats.

The guy walked out of prison this week that pepper sprayed multiple officers to the point where one had a heart attack, he let out of jail this week. People who were beating police officers over the head with poles he let out of jail. Someone who said when he arrived...

The president-elect and his allies have spent four years reinventing the Capitol attack — spreading conspiracy theories and weaving a tale of martyrdom to their ultimate political gain. In two weeks, Donald J. Trump is to emerge from an arched portal of the United States Capitol to once again take the presidential oath of office. As the Inauguration Day ritual conveying the peaceful transfer of power unfolds, he will stand where the worst of the mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021, took place, largely in his name. Directly behind Mr. Trump will be the metal-and-glass doors where protesters, inflamed by his...

The settlement was filed publicly Saturday and reveals ABC will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a “presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for the Plaintiff.”.........
