Free Republic

Why does James Comey’s daughter still work for the DOJ? Why hasn’t Blondi fired her?

If Santa Claus was an American citizen, would he have sided with Democrats or Republicans in November? A new YouGov survey asks about that and other quirky, Christmas-related topics, revealing, among other things, that most Americans think old St. Nick would share their political views. “Among Democrats, 62% think he would support the Democratic Party. Among Independents, 50% think he would support Independents. Among Republicans, 55% think Santa would back the Republican Party,” YouGov reported.

I know he was legally allowed to have a gun that evening but is there still controversy surrounding it’s purchase and sale?

I just dont understand why finding out details and facts behind the evolution of the january 6 protest that spilled into the federal buildings is getting shot down by the republicans. Trump was cleared of being connected to any of that.

How do I tell when I joined FreeRepublic ?

President Donald Trump's statement at the Mexican border implies he no longer believes he can make the United States great again. Or, perhaps he doesn't know how a Great America would act in such a situation. Trump said: "Our country is full, our area is full, the sector is full, can’t take you anymore. I’m sorry, can’t happen, so turn around -- that’s the way it is,” Trump's statement is pathetic. He sounds like he is whining. He spoke like the head of a weak powerless nation who doesn't expect any improvement in the future. The president of a Great...

To all of the race originalists who are going bonkers because Tilda Swinton plays a character in “Doctor Strange” who was an Asian dude in the original comic books, answer me this: Why didn’t you go ballistic when James Bond’s Miss Moneypenny was played by a black woman? The Ancient One, a mystical guru in Kathmandu who helps the grievously wounded New York surgeon Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) recover his abilities and then some, was portrayed as a beardy old Tibetan man in comics dating back to 1963 (or 1961, when he was called the High Lama). Swinton was...

An honest question fro Trump supporters

By Yolanda Arrington Courtesy of Rare.us Donald Trump has faced his share of criticism about his comments on immigrants, Muslims, and women while on the campaign trail. Despite the controversies, his political star is shining brighter than ever. The New York Times took a closer look at the people who are backing him in the race to the White House to see just where they stand on the issues. Specifically, the paper looked at the racial beliefs of the Republican front-runner's supporters. The deep dive into the numbers turned up one startling finding: nearly 20 percent of Trump's supporters did...

When I was a little boy back in the 60s supermarkets sold comic books and there was a great variety in the regular magazine section. The latter often contained Famous Monsters of Filmland, Weird, Eerie, Creepy, and a whole slew of satire magazines, from the classic MAD to 10000 Jokes to CARtoons to Sick. I often looked with envy at the covers of these magazines but was unable to afford them--an amazing fact when I see what they were all selling for back then! I actually bought (or more likely wheedled my parents into buying for me) one issue of...

FERGUSON • Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says he probably wouldn’t have used deadly force against Michael Brown, the teenager whose fatal shooting by police Officer Darren Wilson sparked a national debate on race and the role of police. Carson gave an interview to the Post-Dispatch on Friday afternoon after visiting Ferguson. When asked if he would have shot Brown if he were in Wilson’s shoes, Carson said: “It’s hard to say. I probably, knowing who he was, I probably just would have arrested him.” Carson said he would have waited for backup before having the altercation. A Justice Department...

The Miss USA beauty pageant briefly turned ugly over Arizona's tough new immigration law. Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard finished first runner-up to winner Rima Fakih of Michigan, and conspiracy theorists are grumbling that her support of SB 1070 may have cost her the crown in a repeat of last year's Carrie Prejean controversy. When "The Office" star Oscar Nunez posed Miss Oklahoma a question about where she stood on Arizona's SB 1070 Sunday night, the crowd erupted in boos over the intrusion of politics, Fox News reported.

What reason if any, is there a need for registering a gun? The way that I see it is .. ONLY Law abiding citizens will follow the registration laws while a criminal WILL get a weapon .. whether it is a knife, grenade, hammer, gun, whatever .. Regardless of law!? Hence,the question: What reason do we need gun registration laws?

The economy is collapsing and the GOP is stuck with a candidate who doesn't know jack about economics. But what if Mitt Romney had won that hard-fought Florida primary and grabbed the nomination? Romney's whole business career was about turning around distressed companies. Plus, he's far less identified with George W. Bush than is McCain. And unlike McCain he might not have had to give up on Michigan, where his father was governor. (What state pray tell is McCain holding that Mitt couldn't?) I know there are plenty of strikes against the guy. But it's an interesting counterfactual to consider--one...

NEOSHO, Mo. -- Missouri's two U.S. senators toured tornado-damaged areas of Newton County on Friday. A reporter asked about the possibility of federal aid to help people install tornado shelters or buy weather alert radios for their homes. "At some point, you've got to take some responsibility. The federal federal government, unless you're in need, is not going to buy your lunch for you; it's not going to buy your TV set, and a weather radio is probably something a provident, responsible family should do," said Sen. Kit Bond. "The important thing is to make sure they have the accurate...

In sports, as in business, we often seek the best possible man/woman for the job. The person that will lead us on to victory. Is it time we choose this route when electing our leaders? Of course, historically, Napoleon and Hitler are examples of why we shouldn't. Nevertheless a President/prime minister who has the best interests of a country at heart shouldn't be discounted. Or should it?

Ask A Stupid Question Day Today is Ask a Stupid Question Day. It's your opportunity to speak up, and to ask all those questions you were afraid to ask. All those questions that you thought were too stupid or dumb to ask, have been piling up all year long. Today is the day to unload them. C'mon give it a try. Nobody will laugh......we hope. This may be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway...... Teachers and Employers say there is no such thing as a stupid question. Or, that no question is too stupid to ask. If...

When the supposed conservative candidates talked about conservation, global warming, and energy, I thought I was tuned into the democrat debate for a while... Although, some of the answers about the oil profits were fine, there was way too much green leaning on all the other points; imho. Did anybody else get disgusted about the fighting the global warming "crisis" that they talked about? Even if they didn't say they support a fight against global warming, I would of thought someone would have stated that global warming is junk science and bad political and economic policy.

The military gives enlistment bonuses of up to $40000

Please Freep. President Bush is being criticized for invoking the memory of Sept. 11 to defend the unpopular Iraq war, even though Iraq had no link to the 2001 attacks. Was he wrong to make the remarks?
