Foreign nationals from around the world are flying to northern Mexico to wait for President Joe Biden to end Title 42, one of the few remaining border controls, on May 11 so they can rush the United States-Mexico border. In 2020, in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis, former President Donald Trump invoked the public health authority known as Title 42 at the border, ensuring that federal immigration officials have been able to quickly return millions of illegal aliens to Mexico over the last three years. On May 11, Biden will end Title 42 and create new catch-and-release pipelines...

Forget face masks, toilet paper rolls are flying off the shelves...Newspapers and wet wipes are not designed to be flushed, but water is--and is the preferred method in many parts of the world, according to Metro UK,...The news outlet provides a hands-on guide on how to clean up after nature calls: --Fill the lota with lukewarm water. --After doing your business, remain on the throne and lean forward, back or to the side. --Pour copious amounts of water on the appropriate location. --Use your hand to aid in the cleansing. --Wash your hands thoroughly and dry up.

In October 2011, the Obama Administration ordered 100 U.S. special operations troops to deploy to central Africa to help African and U.N. forces capture Joseph Kony, the psychopathic commander of the Ugandan rebel Lord's Resistance Army. Kony is an evil man. Note the present tense: is, not was. In the late 1980s, Kony took control of a movement whose goals linked the Acholi tribe's demands for autonomy in northern Uganda with a promise to govern Uganda according to the Ten Commandments. But Joseph Kony lived by a different testament. In 2005, the International Criminal Court indicted him on charges of...

There are 6.7 billion people on earth. That is my estimation. And I would estimate that several billion of them among the six, they want to come to America and live with us. Do we have room for them? What if several billion of them just, you know, one day get up and just start walking in? “But we have borders, Brian… I mean, like the military will stop them or something …” – you might tell me something like that. No, I am not talking about an aggressive invasion of America by an army of several billion strong. No...

Correct identification of the political species and sub-species is paramount to understanding those you encounter in the wild. Not all progressives are liberal; not all liberals are progressive. Not all conservatives are constitutionalists; not all constitutionalists are conservative. The political world is an ever changing landscape of naturally forming groups and species and some politically manufactured ones as well. Bubbling underneath it all is the mantra of progressivism, like a pot of boiling excrement stinking up the political house. The modern progressive movement is not a recent phenomena, it began to crawl out of the excremental ooze, like Golgothan, with...

Many humanitarians preach a social gospel and teach the “golden rule,” but what a great many humanitarians neglect and reject are the key foundational moral and natural laws for a healthy and prosperous society. If they adhered to and preached such virtues the world would be a totally different place. The majority of individuals who practice this type of humanitarianism are the very ones who praise and support oppressive dictators and socialistic dominance. They are the ones who hate moral laws and absolutes. As a matter of fact, they will fight tooth and nail to preserve their subjective agenda of...

The song “We are the World,” which was released 25 years ago to raise money for the African famine, has assembled a modern cast of pop stars called “We are the World 25.” This star-studded array of performers from all music genres has united to help the Haitian victims of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck on Jan. 12, 2010. These performers have not only donated their time, money and talents but have been quite successful in their fundraising efforts, for which they should all be commended. Their humanitarian efforts should be duly noted, but let’s look at the true...

Reporting from Vancouver, Canada - Chris Shaw, an ophthalmology professor at the University of British Columbia, has made no secret of his misgivings about the Olympic Games in his home city. The event is going to soak taxpayers and primarily benefit land developers who backed Vancouver's Olympic bid, he warned in several public forums and a book about the Olympics, "Five Ring Circus." Shaw was walking into his office several months ago when two plainclothes police officers approached him, one of them holding his book. "Mr. Shaw, I want to talk to you. . . . Some of the things...

UNITED NATIONS, April 27 (Reuters) - The world must make sure that poorer countries hit hard by other crises do not have to bear the brunt of any possible swine flu pandemic, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday. "The swine flu outbreak shows yet again that, in our interconnected world, no nation can deal with threats of such dimension on its own," Ban told reporters. He added that if the swine flu outbreak becomes a pandemic, global solidarity will be crucial. "Poorer nations are especially vulnerable," he said. "They have been hit hard by other crises this year --...

The swollen Muslim population would be enough to conquer Britain from inside, they claim.

Speaking at a meeting in London, Anjem Choudary, right-hand man of exiled preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, said: "It may be by pure conversion that Britain will become an Islamic state. We may never need...

Funny thing came to my mind just recently, With all of those stories on Free Republic on how the world hates us and all that? I wonder if someday the world will gang up on the U.S. A old quote I remember my pricipal saying when I was in school was "Whatever bad things you do, Will come back to you harder" and it seems after couple of centuries of bringing hatred, segregation and so on to the world. The world may have had enough, The French hate us, The Muslims, The Chinese, The Russians, Part of South Asia, Cuba,...
