Free Republic

Would you look at that, the sun came up in the east this morning! We’ve completed the cycle of a successful transfer of power. It turns out that Trump wasn’t going to declare martial law, there weren’t thousands of “MAGAites” ready to attack the capitol, and no, there were not Chinese troops in Canada ready to invade. I hope that all Americans, left, right, and center will take a few days to objectively evaluate where they get their “news” from. VDO.AI First off, we need to start with some truths about presidential campaigns in general. -There is an attempt to...

January 20, 2021 was our third day in the last eighty years that will “Live in Infamy”. Like the other two days it was a beautiful clear crisp morning, but by the end of the day in my Tennessee it will be raining and miserable. And like the other two days the three “man caused disasters” all occurred through a lack of intelligence and carefully choreographed manipulation. The first was a political manipulation of a nation 4,800 miles from the continental United States that Americans cared little about in order to get the United States into another foreign entanglement on...

A blue-check dimwit media figure asks the burning question. – Grance Franke-Ruta, a leftist journalist who no doubt voted twice to make communist Democrat Bill de Blasio the Mayor of her city, had a bad experience with her husband trying to get a COVID vaccine shot on Tuesday. So naturally, she did what all leftist dimwits do, and took to Twitter to whine about it. “Why is everything in NYC so badly run?” she asks, obviously without ever taking even a second to step back and examine whether or not her voting decisions might – just might – have something...

Did Cocaine Mitch blackmail President Trump on the question of pardoning Julian Assange? – That’s the not-so-shocking allegation Tucker Carlson made last night in an opening monologue that sums Mitch McConnell up in a nutshell. Carlson, based on unnamed sources, accused McConnell of basically blackmailing the President by threating GOP support for convicting him in this latest impeachment scam should he choose to pardon the WikiLeaks founder. If true, it would be a scandal of epic proportions if America had anything resembling an independent and functioning news media establishment. But of course, America doesn’t have that anymore.

President Donald Trump leaves office at noon today, and America as we have known it leaves with him. The President who never expected to win has spent the last four years trying to save this country from its worst impulses and maladies: Unchecked illegal immigration, military interventionism all over the world, intentional economic decline justified by Climate Change religious dogma, the surrender of jobs and manufacturing capacity under falsely-named “free trade” agreements, political correctness, and the pervasive cancer of fake news spread by the utterly corrupted mainstream news media. These and other goals that he brought with him into the...

President Donald Trump has discussed forming a new political party in recent days, hoping to continue his influence after leaving the White House, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday night...he said he would want to call such a party the Patriot Party, the sources told the paper. The president reportedly discussed the idea with several aides and others last week.

No fewer than 11 New York Police Department officers were injured during violent riots staged by BLM/Antifa domestic terrorists in New York City last night. From a story at DailyWire: On Monday night, eleven police officers were injured, including one officer who was hit in the head by a glass bottle, as the NYPD and members of a Black Liberation March commemorating Martin Luther King Day clashed near New York City’s City hall. “Police told protesters to disperse and violence broke out as officers began arresting demonstrators. A total of 28 people were arrested late Monday,” NBC New York reported,...

The FBI under Christopher Wray has come to specialize in the creation of laughably false narratives designed to slander President Donald Trump and his supporters. Wray has really shifted that aspect of his propaganda operation into high gear in the wake of the clearly stolen presidential election that he and his raging dumpster fire agency helped to secure through rank indifference and refusal to investigate. Yesterday, we talked about the failure of the FBI’s prophesied “violent riots” it falsely claimed were being planned by Trump supporters to magically materialize in all 50 state capitals on Sunday: Speaking of “violent riots,”...

The narrative to make being a Trump supporter illegal is gaining steam. – We’ve all known that Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen is one of the most disgusting creeps in the U.S. congress, an often incoherent creep who looks like a villain from a bad serial killer movie. Yesterday, he provided additional proof of his basic slimy-ness by advancing the growing Democrat/media narrative that being a Trump supporter is something that should be outlawed. During an appearance on CNN, Cohen labeled any and all of the 80% or so of National Guard members who supported the President as being likely threats...

Honestly, it’s hard to even know what to say about the utterly pathetic state of this country anymore. Monday morning the DC Swamp was supposed to conduct a rehearsal of the imaginary inauguration ceremony to be conducted for its designated sock-puppet-in-waiting, China Joe Potato Head Biden. But the whole thing got cancelled when dark smoke began rising several blocks away. The source of the dark smoke? Oh, you have to wait for that – read it in this clip from a story at JustTheNews.com: VDO.AI The rehearsal on Capitol Hill on Monday for Joe Biden’s inauguration was cancelled and those...

[Note: This piece uses heavy video content.] Speaking of “violent riots,” where were they yesterday? – Hey, remember when the FBI held a big press conference 8 or 9 days ago and warned the nation that they had “intelligence” (such an ironic word when used in context of this raging dumpster fire of corruption and incompetence) indicating that the evil Trump supporters were planning to stage “violent riots” in all 50 state capitals on January 17? Yeah, we all remember that, don’t we? So, yesterday was January 17, and it turned out that the FBI’s warning was just the latest...

I posted the photo below on my Facebook account on Sunday with the caption “Live photograph of what a national $15 minimum wage looks like:” Some readers mistakenly took that post as an attack on poor people, which of course completely misses the point. The point is that, once the government requires fast food businesses to dramatically increase the costs associated with the jobs they provide, many, perhaps most, of those jobs will simply go away, and the workers at, say, McDonalds will increasingly be displaced by the technology seen in the photo. I got my first actual job when...

[Note: This piece includes heavy video content.] Police State America Update. – Just as they didn’t really even try to hide their plan to steal the 2020 presidential election, Democrats aren’t even trying to hide their intentions about turning the country into a police state, starting with the nation’s capital anymore, folks. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, whose active encouragement of nightly BLM/Antifa riots in her city last summer and fall has turned DC into the civil unrest capital of America, has insisted on activating no fewer than 26,000 National Guard personnel to protect her party’s sock puppet-elect while he is...

Proof that Rand Paul reads DBDailyUpdate? – Probably not, but the Kentucky Senator does seem to agree with the piece I wrote yesterday that contends that the collapse we are seeing at Fox News right now is a canary in the coal mine for the Republican Party. From the story at DailyWire: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) soberly predicted Friday that the Republican Party will be destroyed and hemorrhage a third of its members if party leadership votes to convict President Donald Trump during a second impeachment trial. During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Paul described the second...

Now that the impeachment scam has been completed, the narrative-creators will start letting the truth about what really happened in the Capitol riot on January 6 to start dribbling out. Thus it is that today we see the narrative creators at the Department of Justice who rashly promoted a false claim that those who entered the Capitol that day were planning to “capture and assassinate” various lawmakers, including Mike Pence and San Fran Nan Pelosi suddenly walking that claim back. From a story at Townhall.com: Justice Department attorneys have walked back the claim that Capitol rioters planned to “capture and...

Fox News is an object lesson for the Republican Party. – The corrupt news media is filled these days with reports about the rapidly declining ratings situation at Fox News. After dominating the cable news landscape for the last 15-20 years and guffawing daily as its competitors aired content whose audience could fit into a phone booth, Fox suddenly finds itself trailing behind both CNN and MSNBC, and badly. As I pointed out earlier this week, Fox, which at one point boasted 18 of the 20 top-rated cable news programs, now has just two – The Five and Tucker Carlson...

[Note: This piece includes heavy video content.] A little late for this, Mr. President. – Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish at this very late date, but President Donald Trump is finally, at long last going to declassify a bunch of Spygate/Obamagate-related documents today.

It was a classic false flag operation. – In case you still labor under the illusion that BLM/Antifa agitators did not help cause the Capitol riot on January 6, the federal government disagrees. Radical BLM/Antifa professional agitator John E. Sullivan was arrested yesterday for his role in the rioting: From the story at Fox 13 in Salt Lake City: OOELE COUNTY, Utah — Utah activist John Sullivan was taken into custody in Provo Thursday, over a week after he shared video of himself inside the U.S. Capitol as protesters breached security. Sullivan, 26, was charged in federal court with: One...

I noticed that a piece I wrote back in early September is getting a bunch of hits today. Curious to understand why, I went back and read the piece, which was headlined… The Media is Brainwashing You to Accept a Stolen Election After reading it, I now get the renewed attention: It’s because the piece predicts pretty much every detail of the Democrat plot to steal the election and the aftermath we have experienced since. Here is the text of that piece, dated September 2, in its entirety: Axios took the lead yesterday in the ongoing campaign to brainwash the...

[Note: This piece includes heavy video and graphic content.] As you continue to hear and see the corrupt news media claim that President Trump delayed calling out the National Guard to help secure the Capitol, know that the communist Democrat Mayor of the City had specifically and publicly discouraged making any such move just 24 hours earlier. Everyone in the nation’s capitol knew that upwards of a million people were going to descend on the city on January 6 as congress debated whether or not to accept the clearly fraudulent electoral vote, and that professional agitators would certainly be in...
