Free Republic

https://x.com/HiRezTheRapper/status/2008604404178354463 There’s a fish that looks like president Donald trump at this aquarium 😁🙄😉................

On my phone if I hold it straight up and down I cannot see free republic. The font size is too small. But if I flip it over and the phone is now east and west the font is big enough that I can scroll comfortably. Was this done on purpose?

"People live in homes, not corporations."He said he would further elaborate on the proposal at a speech in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, the annual gathering of chief executives, foreign leaders, and ultra-wealthy figures. No details were provided on how the ban...

Here we go again. Yet another violent transgender creep has been arrested for political violence. There’s a definite pattern here, and the left and their media buddies keep pretending it doesn’t exist. Think about it, these incidents involve a very small group of mentally ill people, yet they are stacking up violent and even deadly attacks month after month, and nobody on the left wants to talk about it. The fake news would rather lecture about pronouns than talk about hammers, broken glass, bullets flying, and right-wing politicians being targeted. Meanwhile, the media and the left are still pushing the...

Many environment and climate-related stories hit the headlines in 2025. Here at home, we had the record-breaking Storm Éowyn, one of the most powerful and widespread wind events to hit Ireland since the so-called “Night of the Big Wind” in 1839. Globally we had confirmation that average temperatures throughout the past three years exceeded 1.5°C of warming, and each of the past three years was either the hottest, the second hottest or the third hottest year on record. […] But one story is head and shoulders above all others when it comes to the most consequential environment event of 2025....

A homeowner says living with a bear under his house has pushed him to his breaking point. In an exclusive interview with KTLA’s Jillian Smukler, he revealed plans to sue the California Department of Fish and Wildlife after being told the state will no longer help. Ken Johnson says the bear moved under his Altadena home just before Thanksgiving — and never left. “If I kept track of everything I tried, it would be Bear 14, Homeowner 0,” said Johnson, using a sports analogy. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife initially stepped in, setting a trap near the crawl...

Gardaí, the Irish police, have opened a hate crime investigation after antisemitic graffiti, including swastikas and the words “Jew” and “rat,” was sprayed on roads in Co Louth, the Irish Times reports. Holocaust Awareness Ireland condemned the incident, saying the graffiti “repeats one of the most disturbing antisemitic caricatures deployed by Nazis in pre-war Germany.” In a statement, the Garda confirmed it had received a report of criminal damage and is treating the case as a hate crime.

First off, I don't trust *anything* the Democrat media says. But why would they keep hiding and lying about Michelle Obama actually being a gay/"trans" male, if it were so? Wouldn't they be out, loud, and proud with it by now? Wouldn't they have gone on Oprah and boasted how "brave" our "first transgender first lady" is? Michelle actually being Michael just sounds like something the modern, reprobate minded Democrat party would be extremely open and boastful about.

For more than a decade, an elderly Chinatown resident purportedly had no access to electricity, water and gas. With bags of sundries piled high within his one-room rental flat, his nights were spent along the stretch of corridor outside the unit. His circumstances were shared online on Dec 23 by non-profit platform Keeping Hope Alive, which assisted in decluttering the flat. The volunteer group's Facebook post noted how time seemed to have stopped 10 years ago for the man in his 80s, who had a 2015 calendar hung on a wall. With water supply cut off, the man, surnamed Wong,...

They say they’re Christians and are not occultists. Nor, he says, are they witches. Her husband, she swears, isn’t a warlock.

The report says that Ireland’s demographic profile is undergoing rapid and profound change as the birth rate falls and the population ages. It means an aging and declining population...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is offering a bit of cheeky dating advice. (snip) Harris shared advice for single people looking to meet a partner. “The important piece of this, though, for anyone who is single, who wants to be in a relationship, is to be kind to yourself and choose to be with someone who is kind,” she began.

Choose to be with someone who allows you to laugh at yourself and them.” As she continued, she emphasized the importance of being with someone you can enjoy all of life's moments with. “Choose to be with...

According to airport operator Aena, the presence of the animal(s) on the runway led to the suspension of flights starting early in the morning. Unlike typical disruptions caused by Galicia’s frequent fog, this incident was solely due to the boar intrusion. “Sorry, I regret having to bring you to Santiago,” pilot apologises Two incoming flights were diverted to Santiago de...
