Free Republic

For anyone not residing in D.C., that was the obvious lesson of 2016. Over four years later, too many elected representatives still haven't figured that out. Washington Republicans have worked tirelessly to make President Trump go away, and they have done so at great cost to the future of the Republican Party. When Republican leaders constantly countermand the voters of their own party, many voters would rather destroy the party and start from scratch than reward the very people who seem to hate them most. If the Mitt Romneys, Paul Ryans, Ben Sasses, or any of the other consistent NeverTrump...

LAS VEGAS (CBS LOCAL) — Apparently what happens in Vegas, may not actually stay in Vegas. A paranormal researcher named Joshua Warren claims he is the first person to ever discover a time warp, which he found near the city. Warren said he has been measuring the rate of time all over in areas between Las Vegas and the top secret Air Force site known as Area 51. Last week he found a spot in the desert just north of Vegas where he claims time has slowed down. Using what’s known as a “differential time rate meter,” also known as...

For the last decade, Joanne Frances has been living life as if the Second World War has just broken out. The 41-year-old has eschewed modern life and technology in favour an authentic wartime existence. She no computer, washing machine, television or car – instead cycling to work on an 80-year-old pedal bike. Living most days in an authentic Land Girl’s uniform, she sometimes spends the evening in an air-raid shelter she built in the garden. The woman, who works as a cleaner, has committed to the austere life of the 1940s – having ditched central heating for coal fires and...

The Republican debate about the shape of the political future has begun, typically for conservatives, as a fight about the past. As President Obama has become a ­Jimmy Carter-like figure — hapless, luckless and increasingly friendless — most prospective GOP presidential candidates are positioning themselves as Ronald Reagan’s rightful heir. A thick fog of historical analogy has settled over the Republican field. “It took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan,” argues Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who clearly sees (and admires) a resemblance to the latter in the mirror each morning. “I’m a great believer in Ronald Reagan,” claims Sen....

Or is it my computer....What say you?

Today FR mysteriously disappeared from the internet. When it came back numerous posts were missing. In other words, it experienced "missing time", a classic symptom of Alien Abduction.

It didn't take long for Howard Dean, the new Democratic National Committee chairman, to show his credentials as a graduate of the Trent Lott school of racial sensitivity training. His remarks, at a meeting with the uniformly Democratic Congressional Black Caucus, that Republicans would need the "hotel staff" if they wanted to fill a room with blacks, tell us a lot about the man. They also tell us a lot about the Democratic Party that has chosen him to lead it out of its abyss. Dean and his party are frozen in a time warp. Their sense of the social...

Pop quiz time: can you name the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated? If you said March 15th, 44 BC, you’re…. an ignorant zealot! The correct date, as being taught in many History books, is March 15th, 44 BCE. If this surprises you, don’t worry, your kids will be taught the difference soon enough in school. You see, there’s a problem with old dates: those letters at the end contain a little abbreviated baby Jesus. “BC” being “Before Christ” and ”AD” being “Anno Domini“, Latin for “Year of Our Lord”. And for the anti-Christian Jihadis in Academia, any reference to...

DeLay: Dems Reveal True Swinging-Seventies Selves; Big-government, Blame-America-First Liberalism Died with Disco 7/25/03 3:25:00 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: National Desk Contact: Stuart Roy or Jonathan Grella, 202-225-4000, both for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay WASHINGTON, July 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today gave a speech before a crowd of College Republicans at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, DC. DeLay said the single organizing philosophy of the Democrat party is "an irrational, all-encompassing, broiling hatred of George W. Bush" and that they have decided to either ignore or reject the realities of 21st century life. Below...

Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say: “Bonjour!” I'm sure you've already heard a good many speakers today and will hear a bunch more after I'm done. So you'll probably judge my speech more on its brevity than its persuasiveness. But that's okay, because as you may have heard, we Republicans from Texas aren't known for our el-o-qua-city. But we are known for being clear. So in the interests of clarity, I have a simple message to pass along: the national Democrat party seems to have lost its marbles. Though they remain a potent electoral machine, armed with battalions...
