Free Republic

Have you ever noticed that when Democrats catch the ‘rona it’s a simple, unbiased news headline, but when it happens to Republicans it’s a “cautionary tale”? Consider this straightforward CNN headline last month about Ralph Northam: “Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam tests positive for Covid-19.” Now, compare that to when Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a fan of freedom, personal responsibility, and getting things back to normal as soon as possible, tested positive: “This Republican governor refused a mask mandate. Then he got coronavirus.” These people seem to believe that if Parson had simply put a mask mandate in he wouldn’t have...

Don't fool yourself; the Democrats and the mainstream media don't want to cancel the next two presidential debates because they are worried about Americans' delicate sensibilities. Are you kidding me? They know that the ailing Joe Biden is hanging by a thread, and they're scared. Even if they believe Biden won the debate, as they claim, they know it was only by default -- because of a possible negative reaction to Donald Trump, as opposed to anything impressive coming from Biden. They'll do everything they can to avoid Biden taking the risk of being blown out of the water in...

In the last few weeks, Joe Biden has led President Donald Trump by a fairly consistent eight point average in national polls and has maintained leads in more than enough battleground states to win the Electoral College, including Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — all states Trump won in 2016. But there are signs Trump's ground operation is paying off when it comes to registering new voters in key states, an advantage that could become important if the race tightens before Nov. 3.

People worry Biden is a Trojan Horse; not a single person could name a Biden signature policy initiative. They worry Democrats who don’t understand them will really be in charge. To some it seems men, old people, straight people, entire regions of the country, are being excluded. It isn’t status anxiety but a sense that what used to be a difference of political opinion now makes someone illegitimate as a person They hear those who may soon be running the government call them haters just because they are poor and white. While Trump is a known element, Biden could mean...

Here is why I support President Trump. As far as his personality, when I worked as a commercial real estate broker for fifteen years in Florida, I worked with many developers and builders like Trump. They all had huge egos, bold and driven personalities. You knew when they were in the room. They were also visionaries, for they built cities. The process of creating a building project is arduous. Negotiation is key, and Trump is a master at the negotiation process. Dealing with government entities for approvals to move from concept to actually building can take years. Passing inspections for...

That was The Washington Post's headline about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.But when Justice Antonin Scalia died, the headline was, "Supreme Court conservative dismayed liberals."When the founder of ISIS was killed, the headline was: "Austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies."But when President Donald Trump's brother died, the headline was, "younger brother of President Trump who filed lawsuit against niece, dies."At news conferences, Vice President Biden gets softball questions. After an article in The Atlantic claimed Trump called fallen military members "losers," one reporter asked Biden, "What does it...

Tuesday’s presidential debate provides an opportunity for the American public to finally get answers from Joe Biden, who has largely been absent from the campaign trail. Vice President Biden should be asked the following 25 questions. This list is by no means exhaustive. Many of these questions were suggested by this author last month, but because they remain unanswered, I offer them again in the hope that Tuesday’s debate moderator, Chris Wallace, will question the Democratic nominee with the same enthusiasm he has shown for questioning President Trump.

Trump’s recent moves on steel have made him some new friends in the industry. Leo Gerard of United Steelworkers recently told NBC’s Chuck Todd that steel workers are going to remember what Trump did for them. Real Clear Politics has the story: In an interview with a combative Chuck Todd, Leo Gerard, President of the United Steelworks, praised the effect of President Trump’s newly proclaimed tariffs would have on the U.S. steel market. Gerard praised Trump for making it clear he is going to “tackle trade deficits” which he called a “wealth transfer” because they are “taking good jobs away.”...

President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday to the Supreme Court lifted the hopes of social conservatives, many of whom believe that what is likely to be a 6-3 conservative majority will usher in favorable decisions on religious freedom and abortion. Trump, in his nomination speech, emphasized Barrett's dual role as jurist and mother, mentioning that she is the first woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court with school-aged children. Trump read out the names of Barrett's seven children, devoting special attention to Barrett's bond with her son with Down syndrome. Barrett at the ceremony also spoke...

That push fits with a reelection strategy that was already aimed at revving up the base, according to John Fredericks, a radio host and member of the Trump/Pence 2020 advisory board. “This election is about mobilization, not persuasion," he said. "We’ve got to get our people out on Election Day. Amy Coney Barrett motivates a huge election day turnout for us.” Her public anti-abortion stance is already well known. But she has also staked out positions against immigration, gun control, and the Affordable Care Act. Outside groups are already mobilizing around what is certain to be a contentious nomination. America...

The Republican National Committee launched a $10 million campaign to promote President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett to “hold Democrats accountable” for what the GOP called their “hypocrisy” on the nomination process to the high court. The initiative, rolled out after the president formally nominated Coney Barrett to the high court on Saturday from the White House Rose Garden, includes a $10 million digital ad campaign, a new website and a get-out-the-vote effort in target states. The RNC said Saturday that the initiative also includes a “massive rapid response operation” to amplify Coney Barrett’s record, while “harnessing...

Editor's Note: This piece was co-authored by Kevin Dang and Anh Tu Do.After the fall of Saigon in April 1975, the unbearable oppression from the Vietnamese Communist regime forced nearly half a million people to escape the country in search of freedom, democracy, and a better life. Our families were some of the lucky ones if you want to call it “luck.” Fleeing Vietnam was a heartbreaking and terrifying experience for our family members who made it out. Not only did so many leave family behind, both young and old, but the journey was a harrowing one filled with dangers....

Trafalgar Group, a Georgia-based polling firm known for its ability to correctly sample hard-to-reach, conservative Trump voters, shows President Trump with leads in the key battleground states of North Carolina, Florida and Michigan. During the 2016 presidential race — widely predicted wrong by the mainstream polling establishment —the Trafalgar Group was the only pollster within the RealClearPolitics polling aggregator to show candidate Donald Trump defeating rival Hillary Clinton in Michigan. Their polls in 2016 also showed Donald Trump winning Pennsylvania — again, they were nearly alone in projecting Trump's narrow victory there — and thus taking the White House. "Cahaly's...
