Free Republic

I recently watched an interview of Xi Van Fleet by Tucker Carlson. Van Fleet lived through the Chinese Cultural Revolution and eventually was able to flee Communist China to the United States in the mid-1980s. Her harrowing story was all too familiar to my family and the many who have fled communism to find freedom in the United States of America. My husband’s family fled Communist Hungary in the early 1970s. He paid a heavy price. My in-laws had to leave my husband behind in order to escape when he was only three years old. They believed they would be...

Some four years ago, the radical left staged what amounted to a coup d’état and took control of the United States government. The events surrounding that coup — and the horrific policies that followed — have been described many times: the COVID “vaccine” hoax, rigged elections, imprisoning dissenters, weaponizing the Judiciary, open borders, the pointless killing in Ukraine. Yet no one has explained why all this happened or how to stop it. The fact that no scholars or media have even attempted to explain this power-grab itself partly reveals the explanation. If we ask why people on the left took...

Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught red-handed (or is it yellow-fingered?) in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of federal immigration workers is proof that “Communism works.” Garcia made the comment during a Google hangout he convened last week to talk about comprehensive immigration reform with supporters. The Democrat attempted to point out how, for all their talk about limited government, many Republicans are fine spending loads of government money on border security. “Let me give you an example,...

White house officials claim they were unaware that ornaments of Mao Tse-tung were hung upon a Christmas Tree there.

-excerpt- Kelley alerted the FBI about the emails that appeared to be an attempt to blackmail Petraeus, which started the investigation, said the sources, who are close friends of the Petraeuses. In addition, the threatening emails might not have come from biographer Paula Broadwell, as widely reported. Kelley, a Tampa, Fla. resident who is married with three children, and sister Natalie are close friends of the Petraeus' and spent holidays together. And she was not having an affair with the retired, four-star Army general, sources close to the family tell Fox News.

Repeal the 2nd Amendment June 27, 2008 No, we don't suppose that's going to happen any time soon. But it should. The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is evidence that, while the founding fathers were brilliant men, they could have used an editor. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

DU Thread - I would love to go to Canada but it seems we may be too old by the time we are able to leave in about two years. I am also considering Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico but any civilized non-fascist country will do. Please, any suggestions, help and/or links are greatly appreciated. I am hoping for no "stay and fight" or "coward" responses. I have two young boys who deserve to have a real future. That is not going to happen in this country.

BOULDER - Ward Churchill's lawyer said a decision to put the professor's sabbatical on hold amounts to retribution and that he'll likely will file a federal lawsuit. Denver lawyer David Lane responded Friday to the University of Colorado's decision to delay approval of the sabbatical pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of plagiarism and research misconduct against Churchill. A subcommittee of the university's Standing Committee on Research Misconduct is expected to report its findings soon to the full committee, which would decide whether to order a full investigation of Churchill. If it doesn't, his request for a sabbatical...

The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor is slated to play host to a national student conference late next week, one of whose "guiding principles" is that it "condemns the racism and discrimination inherent in Zionism", the Jerusalem Post has learned.

It aims to promote an end to US aid to Israel and to encourage divestment by universities and corporations from the Jewish state. In the conference's promotional material, organizers refer to "apartheid Israel",...
