Numerous staff of the New York Times, it’s been discovered, have previously working for the Chinese Communist Party’s state-run media outlet China Daily. One of them, the publication’s current Director of Cinematography, also admitted to “working for the Communist Party of China” while another boasted of being a “China apologist”. The news comes as the New York Times breathlessly backs big corporates opposed to Georgia’s new voting laws. The New York Times, however, seems less concerned with employing genocidal Chinese Communist Party apparatchiks. Jonah Kessel – the current Director of Cinematography at The New York Times – served as the...

In my opinion, the answer to “what does Antifa care about?” is “nothing.” That’s because the Antifa idiots are a group of nihilistic thugs. They don’t care about justice. They’re not fighting fascism. George Floyd is probably nothing but an afterthought to them; it’s not like a bunch of white, liberal college kids are really all that worried about police violence in the Midwest. So, in reality, Antifa is after nothing. What does Antifa care about? Nothing. What does it want? To watch the world burn. The next question, after asking yourself or others “what does Antifa care about?” is...

My daughter used to be a conservative until she went to college. It has been less than a year, and she's now using liberal talking points in all her political debates with me. Yesterday she sent me an article titled "The Treason of the Ruling Class" by Chris Hedges (I can't link it here due to a FreeRepublic's restriction). I have made it my mission now to try to research and provide my daughter with facts because she doesn't get them from the websites that she's visiting. I have been reading FreeRepublic for years, but this is my first time...

The race for the Republican nomination for the presidency increasingly looks like it will go to an open convention in Cleveland. It is virtually impossible for any candidate to get a majority of the delegates, 1237, prior to the GOP convention. The reality of this situation has seemingly gotten under the skin of Donald Trump as he has increasingly calling the nominating process “unfair.” The rules of the nominating process to be the general election candidate of the Republican Party for the presidency were set before the process began. At least in regards to delegate allocation, selection, and binding. The...

Donald Trump has gotten a lot of criticism from both sides of the abortion debate for his five different positions on abortion in three days. Those criticisms are legitimate because it shows Trump either doesn’t know what he’s talking about, is faking his position on abortion to appease his supporters, or has no real position at all. But that’s not stopped Maureen Dowd with The New York Times from asking one of craziest questions of the political cycle. Given his draconian comment, sending women back to back alleys, I had to ask: When he was a swinging bachelor in Manhattan,...

With the prospect of a contested convention looming over the Republican presidential primary, Donald J. Trump on Sunday complained about the party’s rules requiring a candidate to have a majority of delegates to clinch the nomination outright. Asked by George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” why he should be “guaranteed the nomination” if he failed to amass the 1,237 delegates needed to win it on the first ballot, Mr. Trump said that he might be unable to clear that threshold. But he blamed the number of contenders in the Republican field. “If I’m a little bit short – and one...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that "professional agitators" bore much of the blame for violence at his rallies as video showed a protester being beaten and another apparently being grabbed by Trump's campaign manager. Speaking on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Trump defended campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and declined to condemn supporters who have attacked protesters at his increasingly chaotic rallies. Nor did he back down from his warning that there would be riots in the streets if the Republican Party denied him the nomination for the November election, despite his being the most popular candidate among Republican voters....

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is fighting efforts to hold a trial in a federal class-action lawsuit over his Trump University real-estate program either just before or after the Republican National Convention in July. Such a trial has the potential to pull Trump off the campaign trail in order to serve as a witness. And in a filing late Friday night in federal court in San Diego, lawyers for Trump said plaintiffs' lawyers are intentionally trying to schedule the trial to interfere with his presidential campaign. "Plaintiffs’ request to set a trial date in June or August of this year...

Donald Trump Actually Losing To Hillary Clinton In Latest Poll It's Never Quite That Easy. LISA MASCARO Donald Trump closed the debate by promising the GOP would easily win the White House in November if the party united around his candidacy. "The Republican Party has a great chance," Trump said, pointing to the "millions" of people he is drawing to the GOP. "These are people that will win us the election, and win it easily." The problem is, Trump is actually losing to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the latest matchup polls. Clinton beats him, 51% to 38%, in an...

After an Alleged Assault, the Trump Campaign Launches a Vicious, Deceptive Attack on Michelle Fields by DAVID FRENCH, March 10, 2016. Breitbart and the Trump campaign are locked in a war of words after Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, reportedly attacked Breitbart’s Michelle Fields Tuesday night rather than let her ask Trump a question regarding affirmative action. Breitbart is calling for an apology, but the Trump campaign has not only flatly denied Fields’s allegations, it has counterattacked Fields personally, spewing forth a series of rather obvious lies and distortions. First, the background: Tuesday night — shortly after Trump’s triumphant press...

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) called GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s charge that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was a primary supporter of Chief Justice John Roberts “ludicrous” and “ridiculous.” Gohmert argued that Trump should not be questioning Cruz’s judgment on Supreme Court nominations since he has donated to Democratic politicians in the past. “I thought one of the best points made all night long was to point out the hypocrisy,” Gohmert, who has endorsed Cruz, told PJM at the Conservative Political Action Conference. During the most recent GOP debate in Detroit, Trump addressed Cruz directly, saying, “So we’re listening to the all-talk,...

The Cranberries prior posting about the gal singer who assaulted the flight attendant and cop was the last stupid straw about posting about guilt based on looks. (Note I am not a big Cranberries fan, I have no dog in this particular hunt - it's just an example.) I am not against posts that discuss a person's looks per se. Particularly if it factors into the issue being discussed. If it's relevant, it's relevant. What I am objecting to are the stupid inane posts that add nothing of value to the thread and detract from the reputation of this site...

The Coming Day of Christ/ Messiah for His body the Church just before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord is at hand! Many signs are strongly pointing to that today. Never before in the 6000-year history of man has occurred such great global flux and searing consciousness that doom awaits at the very doorstep. Just after the Rapture of the church takes place (which the scoffers and haters of the Grace of God totally reject), there will be a massive void of light and truth here on earth, (i.e., there will not be one true believer left on...

Now that we have a real Scotus nominee where are all the Miers supporters. Be consistant if you can.

Entertainment insiders, thinkers and consumers candidly discuss hip-hop’s outlook on Black women’s sexuality Photographs by Butch Belair We are mothers, sisters, daughters and lovers of hip-hop. We’ve emulated the sexy confidence of Salt-N-Pepa and the toughness of MC Lyte. We’ve wept over Tupac Shakur’s visceral poetry and marveled at the lyrical dexterity of Notorious B.I.G. When Nas said, "The World Is Yours," we believed him. And today we stand at the forefront of popular culture: independent, talented and comfortable with the skin we’re in. We are really feeling ourselves. Perhaps that’s why we’re so alarmed at the imbalance in the...

If in the months leading up to the election, President Bush's face became as misshapen as Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko's face has become, we would have heard from the Kerry campaign and paranoid lefties everywhere that Karl Rove was behind the matter and probably poisoned the candidate himself! Will the Putin people pick up this tactic?
