Free Republic

Between 1803 and 2018, the United States Supreme Court ruled 172 federal laws passed by Congress are unconstitutional. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), in their effort to demonize President Trump, may inadvertently add a law written in 1924 to this list of doomed legislation. Absent a smoking gun from the Mueller report, the Trump resistance sees the next opportunity to demonize Trump via his tax returns. It is entirely plausible that IRC 26 U.S.C. § 6103(f), originally passed in response to the Teapot Dome Scandal, (a bribery scandal involving oil...

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 6m6 minutes ago .@JebBush, At the debate you said your brother kept us safe- I wanted to be nice & did not mention the WTC came down during his watch, 9/11.

Barack Obama has lamented that he is not a dictator- several times: King: “My cabinet has been working very hard on trying to get it done, but ultimately, I think somebody said the other day, I am president, I am not king,” Obama told Univision in October 2010, when asked why he had yet to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. “I can’t do these things just by myself.” He reiterated that sentiment in a February 2013 interview with Telemundo. “I’m not a king,” he said. President of China: “Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to...

Here’s an interesting article from World News Daily about Arizona, Montana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas all crafting legislation that would require presidential candidates to produce their long form birth certificates for them to be eligible to appear on the 2012 ballots.   I honestly don’t know why this is not already on the books in every state. As things stand, the Constitution makes certain requirements about who can be elected President of the United States, but does not provide for any mechanism to ensure these requirements are met. It’s just always been assumed no one would run for president without...

I cannot condone some things that colleagues of mine wrote or requested in the e-mails recently stolen from a climate research unit at a British university. But the messages do not undermine the scientific case that human-caused climate change is real. The hacked e-mails have been mined for words and phrases that can be distorted to misrepresent what the scientists were discussing. In a Dec. 9 op-ed, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin argued that "The e-mails reveal that leading climate 'experts' . . . manipulated data to 'hide the decline' in global temperatures." Yet the e-mail she cites was written...

Jesse Jackson Jr.: ‘I Am Not a Target’ In Blagojevich Probe After being identified as “Senate Candidate 5” in the complaint filed in Tuesday’s arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. held a press conference this afternoon on Capitol Hill, saying he is innocent in Blagojevich’s alleged schemes to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder. “Know this: I spoke to the U.S. attorney’s office on Tuesday and they shared with me that I am not a target of this investigation and I am not accused of any misconduct,” Jackson told reporters this afternoon....

WASHINGTON, (AP) -- Former President Clinton acknowledges there are some things "I wish I hadn't said" during the Democratic presidential nomination fight, but denies he made racist statements about Barack Obama.

Former President Bill Clinton, in an interview with ABC News from Liberia, has bolstered John McCain's assertion that Barack Obama is trying to play the race card. Clinton states in the short clip below, "I am not a racist," and that he did not attack Obama personally during the primary campaign. Clinton was attacked and smeared by Obama and the media during the primary campaign with Hillary Clinton as having made racist remarks to hurt Barack Obama. Clinton has clearly not "gotten over it." Take a look at the clip below, and then read part of Ed Morrissey's excellent synopsis...

hillary clinton is a "CONGENITAL LIAR" "I am not a crook"   by Mia T, 7.08.05 "Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady... is a congenital liar.* William Safire, Blizzard of Lies *The first word I had in mind was 'prevaricator,' which means 'liar,' and the second one was 'dissembler,' which also means 'liar.'" "She's the most unbelievable actress I have ever met," said a woman who worked on Hillary's Senate campaign. "I remember one time at a Women's Leadership Forum event in New York, thirty of us sat around Hillary, talking...
