Free Republic

Over the weekend, this editor did a piece on Activision's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" getting free pride-themed weapons camouflage in honor of Pride Month. The tone-deaf tweet showed a hand holding transgender flag-colored ammunition. Um....did you think this one through? @Activision @CallofDuty We just started PRIDE and we already have the worst virtue signal of the year. If the news media actually covered what was happening with mass shootings, they would know. But they either don't know, or don't care. pic.twitter.com/o0yXJJ6ifP — Grummz (@Grummz) June 3, 2024 A lot of people in the replies posted links to a news...

Yesterday, we started to see a new push by Democrats to claim that Republicans are trying to take away your right to birth control! The bastards will not stop until you ‘uterus havers’ ... ... (they don’t dare say women) ... ... are barefoot and pregnant and forced to stay in the kitchen, or something. And we don’t think we have to tell you this isn’t true. Most Republicans we know not only think non-abortifacient birth control should be legal, but they have personally used it. But Democrats are determined to bang that drum regardless of the facts: .@JoeBiden and...

As the dust starts to settle on Trump’s conviction newly-minted status as an Outlaw President, legal scholars are starting to weigh in on the severe problems with Alvin Bragg’s case. First up, Ed Whelan passes on this this piece by Mr. Elie Honig, explaining some of the problems with the conviction: Trump's superpower is the ability to bring out the worst in both his supporters and his opponents. Bragg's prosecution sure strikes me as blatant example of latter, for reasons CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig spells out in this powerful piece. https://t.co/y6CGA6Ald9 — Ed Whelan (@EdWhelanEPPC) May 31, 2024...

In the aftermath of yesterday’s guilty verdict, a number of people have been declaring that they will still vote for a ‘convicted felon' this November. For instance, here’s Libs of TikTok saying that: My name is Chaya Raichik. I live in the USA 🇺🇸 And I WILL be voting for a convicted felon this November. You? pic.twitter.com/dCSCDSczfR — Chaya Raichik (@ChayaRaichik10) May 30, 2024 She ended up reposting a number of people who said the same thing, or something similar. But Dan Bongino beat them all with the cool factor: I’m voting for the outlaw. — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) May...

Remember when the left in America tried to convince everyone that no children were being 'transed'? Despite mountains of evidence that minors indeed were being mutilated with surgery and sterilized with life-changing drugs and hormones, they firmly insisted that it wasn't happening. Obviously, that charade didn't last very long, so the left is now firmly entrenched in the 'it's good that it is' half of the 'It's not happening and it's good that it is' equation. The new deception that the left tries to sell is that children are only given 'gender-affirming care' (a diabolical term if there ever was...

Now, first, before we get this legal deep dive going, let’s be clear. We haven’t seen Professor Turley call for jury nullification—not even by a proverbial wink. What we are saying is that what he is documenting is enough for us to say if this author was on the jury, we would engage in jury nullification. Why? In order to vindicate Trump’s constitutional rights. Mr. Turley published a thread that started with this post: The Hill is out with my column on the closing arguments scheduled for next week in the Trump trial. A hung jury seems the most likely...

It is well known Obama loves to be divisive and constantly harps on race and sex. Today's post was no exception. .@POTUS just confirmed his 200th judge – not an easy accomplishment with a narrow majority in the Senate. And more than half are women and people of color. Judges have the power to roll back progress or keep us moving forward; to protect our basic liberties or take them away.… https://t.co/72CwuLmIAz — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) May 22, 2024 Forget experience and competence. Now, all that is matters is the color of skin and what is between your legs. Look...

The NFL has tolerated many things in the past. Players abusing their wives/girlfriends, driving drunk, saying horrible things about a race or a religion, and even rape ... But it would appear there is finally SOMETHING the NFL will not tolerate, and that's Christianity. We saw a bit of this when Tim Tebow DARED go to one knee in prayer but they didn't outright condemn him, like they have Harrison Butker's speech. Apparently, Butker voicing Christian beliefs that include cherishing his wife and and the mother of their children is a step too far. It's interesting (and by interesting we...

The Biden campaign keeps trying to hit on Speaker Mike Johnson for a bill making it illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. It's already illegal, so what's he trying to prove? Sen. Mike Lee recently posted a lengthy thread on just how "shockingly easy" it is for noncitizens to vote. As we reported, a Mexican NGO called Resource Center Matamoras has been distributing flyers to illegal immigrants encouraging them to vote for President Joe Biden. "Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay...

As Twitchy readers know, J.K. Rowling is once again under fire for 'comparing' a man to a man because he is a man (who claims he is a woman). This prompted a later post by Rowling where she addressed the claim that she, a slight 5-foot 4-inch 58-year-old woman, was bullying a beefy British football manager who identifies himself as 'Lucy Clark'. Calling a man a man is not 'bullying' or 'punching down.' Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us. — J.K....

Wow! Two high school seniors solved a mathematical puzzle that has stumped mankind for 2,000 years. "60 Minutes" did a nice feature on the pair, and earned themselves a Community Note in the process.

The White House Correspondent's Dinner is truly filled with some low-hanging fruit (pun intended), but this thread from @Amuse is one of this editor's favorite things this morning. It sums up how ridiculous and accidentally hilarious the whole thing has become. What used to be a gentlemanly roast of the president has become some obnoxious party for the media to pat itself on the back while pretending to hold a president they literally carry water for every day, accountable. For example, they roasted TRUMP more than Biden. Yeah, they suck. Luckily, Amuse did some of the heavy lifting for us...

J.K. Rowling should take a bow. She has been a tireless, vocal defender of women and kids against the tidal wave of transgender insanity. We've written about her a lot, because she's always so awesome. And while the woke Left and trans activists screamed at her, threatened her, and harassed her, she held her head high and kept speaking truth to power. So now that she's not-too-subtly taking a victory lap in the wake of the Cass Report, we are applauding her. ‘In years to come we will look back at the damage done to children with incredulity and horror.’...

Mike Rowe gets it. And he always has. Unlike far too many Americans, he understands the value of hard work and why more of us (especially young people getting ready to go to college or already in college) need to do more of it. Especially right now as we're watching schools like Columbia, Yale, Barnard, and others eating themselves with the pro-Palestine/Hamas riots. Protests. Whatever. They say tomato ... they're wrong. Take a look at this from Rowe: For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m...

Ol Grandpa Joe is having a banner day. When he's not doing a Ron Burgundy impression, he's saying things that we actually believe are true. Watch: BIDEN: "How many times does [Trump] have to prove we can't be trusted!?" pic.twitter.com/g3o9cM6zQ5 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 23, 2024 'We can't be trusted' -- yeah, Joe, we know. We wouldn't trust you as far as we can throw you. Whoops, a little bit of truth slipped out for a change. — Kelkat (@Tweetytweeter63) April 23, 2024 Yep. For a change. I think he has pretty much proven it. You can’t be trusted...

Let us start by saying we expect different levels of expertise from different people. Like for instance, if we are talking to a layperson and they indicated they didn’t know the difference between a motion to dismiss and a motion for summary judgment, we wouldn’t bat an eyelash at it. That is a level of ignorance that is just normal and justifiable for people who don’t deal with the law very much. We wouldn’t make fun of a such person for not knowing that or look down on them: We would simply explain the difference. But if a person claims...

Weird how we never hear about men's toilets or locker rooms becoming gender-neutral or 'unisex', isn't it? Only women's locker rooms and bathrooms must be converted to accommodate men who think they're women. In Brisbane, girls are afraid to use the bathroom -- a basic and necessary biological function -- because the now unisex spaces are populated with boys loitering outside and urinating in waste bins. But suck it up, young ladies. Can't make a man feel unsafe or unwelcome. Why were the girls facilities converted to “gender neutral”? Why is it the girls who lose out? Who thought it...

A lot of people with their eyes open are starting to realize that the Gaza tent city set up at Columbia University is just the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville without the tiki torches. They're all united in their hatred of the Jewish people. President Joe Biden campaigned on the Charlottesville hoax, that President Donald Trump had called the neo-Nazis "very fine people." In fact, his first campaign video was about it and how it had inspired him to run for president. Anyone who watches the video or reads the transcript of Trump's remarks knows that he denounced the...

The Biden campaign has an ad where someone refers to him as 'sharp as a knife' and the mockery and laughter it has provided us is AMAZING! Joe Biden’s new TV ad says he’s “sharp as a knife.” I discussed with @marthamaccallum: pic.twitter.com/W6HCI7340e — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) April 19, 2024 Look, the Biden Presidency is awful, the country is in shambles, and his administration is making a mess of everything, we understand they are trying to help push this guy over the finish line and remove some of the fears regarding if he is all there in the brian department...

The other day, we told you about Biden lying -- again -- about his uncle Bosey getting eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down during WWII. We also told you about the hilarious hashtag this lie inspired. But not everyone is laughing. In fact, some academics in Papua New Guinea are offended: 'They wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky': Outraged Papua New Guinea academics lash out at Biden's 'unacceptable' suggestion that cannibals ate his WW2 pilot uncle https://t.co/vNFYeegi9X pic.twitter.com/UzSemZcxSR — Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) April 19, 2024 More from The Daily Mail: Outraged...
