Free Republic

Anti-Trump Republicans New Jersey state Sen. Jon Bramnick and radio host Bill Spadea are vying to become the first Republican to win the Garden State governor’s mansion since Chris Christie in 2009. Bramnick and Spadea hope to replace outgoing Gov. Phil Murphy (D), who is term limited. Bramnick is an avowed moderate Republican and hopes to flip the governor’s mansion red, albeit with his anti-Trump flare. He hopes to buck the trend as Republicans have increasingly embraced former President Donald Trump as the leader of the GOP.

Former President Donald Trump is assembling his policy team with familiar faces from his first term and signaling they would have roles in his potential 2025 Republican presidential administration. Trump and his allies have been meeting and talking by phone for months, sculpting the policies that will define his second term should he win the presidency in 2024. The names of the inner circle were revealed Friday in the latest effort by the Trump campaign to counter outside conservative organizations' efforts to vet and staff a future 2025 administration. Among these aides are former trade representative Robert Lighthizer, former White...

Hamas Apologist Appointed to High Mideast National Security PostPosted By Joseph Klein On March 10, 2015 @ 12:58 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 40 Comments In yet another crass attempt to register its anger at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuÂ’s courageous and truthful speech on Iran to a joint session of Congress last week, the Obama administration promoted an Israel basher to serve as the Special Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region. His name is Robert Malley, who most recently has been serving as National Security Council (NSC)...

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and her team of prosecutors want prison sentences for Donald Trump and his top allies, previously unreported emails reveal. The emails, first reported by the Guardian, reveal deepening hostilities between prosecutors and defendants in the monumental Georgia criminal case against Trump and his top allies. “We have a long road ahead,” Willis wrote in a previously unreported email last month to Trump’s attorneys. “Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law.” Willis and her team allege Trump and codefendants violated the racketeering statute as part of efforts to overturn...

Prototypes of the 2025 Lincoln Navigator have been circulating for several months, but this is the first time we've seen one wearing less-modest camouflage, showing off elements of its new body and trim for the first time. Lincoln's big family hauler has been around long enough — since 2018, in fact — that it's due for a redesign. It was updated in 2022, when it gained BlueCruise (then called Lincoln ActiveGlide, a name the brand has since left behind) and lost a little horsepower. From what we can see here, the 2025 Navigator will retain most of its core styling....

With one of the oldest model nameplates still rolling around, the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban SUV doesn't do much to rock that boat. Only mildly refreshed, it remains gigantic and boxy—the longer-wheelbase version of the Tahoe. Upgrades include an improved diesel option and a more modernized interior. All of the Suburban's six trims benefit from an updated front fascia with slimmer DRLs. Premier and High Country Suburbans get new walk-up and walk-away light animations as standard. Plus, Chevy is introducing two new exterior colors: Lakeshore Blue Metallic and Cypress Gray. Finally, new and optional 24-inch wheels can be fitted to RST...

Democrats are already gearing up for Virginia’s 2025 elections after the party’s successful showing earlier this month in the state’s off-year elections. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) announced Monday she is running for governor in 2025, while Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney (D) has reportedly been gathering staff in preparation for a gubernatorial run as well. Democrats are also eager ahead of next year’s federal elections. Eugene Vindman, one of the high-profile witnesses in former President Trump’s first impeachment trial, announced Thursday he is running for Spanberger’s congressional seat.

The next generation of the Toyota Camry, the best-selling sedan in the U.S. market, will come with only a gas-electric hybrid powertrain, the boldest move yet by the Japanese automaker to push hybrid technology into the heart of the U.S. market. The 2025 Camry will combine a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric drive system tuned to deliver more power in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the car, Toyota said. Compliance with tougher U.S. fuel economy rules was a factor in Toyota’s decision to make the new Camry an all-hybrid vehicle line, dropping four- and six-cylinder combustion...

Americans should consider their tax strategies now ahead of potential changes at the end of 2025, experts warn. Trump-era legislation brought in by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 made sweeping changes to the tax landscape. This included lowering individual income tax rates, almost doubling the standard deduction and raising the federal estate tax exemption. Unless these rules are extended, they will expire on January 1, 2026, sparking major changes for millions of taxpayers across the US. Now is the time to plan ahead, experts warn, in order to be prepared for changes down the line - and...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street,” Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Patrick Harker stated that by this time next year, inflation will be around 3% and will move “slowly” to the 2% target level “in 2025.” CNBC Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman asked, “I’d like to get your thoughts on, this time next year, where’s the U.S. economy, where is inflation? How are we doing this time next year, do you think?”

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) predicted Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) will be the Speaker of the House after the 2024 election. Psaki said, “We are sitting right here in the Capital building, and over the last week, we’ve seen the hearing with John Durham, Republicans trying to force a vote to impeach Biden, a vote to censure congressman Adam Schiff, should we anticipate, do you anticipate that Trump is going to keep driving the agenda of the Republican-led House?” Pelosi said, “It appears so because the fact is, when we had...

The Social Contract is broken. The Bragg-Daniels attack on Donald Trump is the quintessential modern act of PC stupidity’s destruction of a society. If it succeeds. But yet again, President Trump’s vicious enemies have under-estimated and misread the master campaigner they seek to destroy. The man is a builder. From way back. And now his astonishing creativity has the chance to build the single best thing to Make America truly Great Again. A broad-based coalition for freedom. These are some of the people I believe President Trump should invite now to agree to be part of his next administration from...

Former Trump official Michael Caputo slammed the Biden administration following the FBI's Monday raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida. In an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital, Caputo compared the FBI to the Soviet-era KGB in Russia, declared the nation was in a "full-blown constitutional crisis," and predicted the raid would lead to President Biden facing an indictment following a loss in the 2024 presidential election. "America is in a full-blown constitutional crisis. The American people have endured a slow, creeping attack on our nation. I had a front row seat in the Russia...

“Since the earliest days of the pandemic there were a small number of leading scientists who took it upon themselves to enforce this kind of orthodoxy,” said Jamie Metzl, adviser to the World Health Organisation (WHO) on human genome editing and senior fellow with the Atlantic Council think tank. “We were ostracised and called conspiracy theorists,” he added. Metzl said that a statement in The Lancet in February 2020, signed by 27 prominent scientists, was “a form of scientific thuggery”. It strongly condemned “conspiracy theories suggesting that Covid-19 does not have a natural origin”. It was organised by Peter Daszak,...

There is this website https://deagel.com/forecast that projects the population and GDP for 2025. The population of USA has dropped to 99M and the GDP has dropped to 1.63 T. Does this website know something we don't?

I think Rush was asking the wrong question yesterday. The Dems are going to fail at this latest attempt, as sure as Wile E. Coyote will never catch Road Runner. In the course of their futile attempts, the swamp will get partially drained. But, unfortunately for everyone, part of the swamp specializes in "wet work" and "dark ops," and at some point between now and 2025, they will assassinate him. Now, the last POTUS to be assassinated, JFK, was a so-so POTUS, really. But since he was a Dem, the Dems will rise up in righteous anger against anyone who...

Ride hailing app Uber wants to build flying taxis in France and announced on Thursday it would invest €20 million to develop the project. The American company made the announcement at the VivaTech technology fair in Paris on Thursday. It wants to develop an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft in France over the next five years and will throw €20 million at the flying taxi project, known as Uber Elevate.

Nine of the 28 member state in the EU are currently not part of the single currency. The UK and Denmark are exempt, but the remaining seven nations all agreed to adopt the euro when they joined the bloc. And now the European Commission has now demanded they them all start using the crisis-hit currency within eight years, according to insiders. The move, revealed by German publication Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung, who obtained a leaked copy of a Comission report, is likely to be fiercely opposed by Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic's eurosceptic governments. Just last week, Polish finance minister...

Hillary Clinton is laying out an aggressive plan to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease within a decade, which she says will be achieved by a dramatically boosting spending by four times the current levels. The Democratic presidential front-runner vows to spend $2 billion per year "to prevent, effectively treat and make a cure possible by 2025." She will announce her plan at a campaign stop in Iowa later on Tuesday. The annual $2 billion in spending will be part of a "historic, decade-long investment" that would bring up spending levels from the $586 million spent by the National Institutes...

I awoke with a start at the loud noise. I thought it might be early revilers when I realized it was just my tenants stomping their displeasure at the lack of hot water. I had hoped to be able to sleep later on my day off from my rotating shift at the Rite-Aid medical clinic. As my mind began to clear I realized today was the Fourth of July. In my youth it was known as Independence Day. Since it was removed from the list of federal holidays for its racist past not many people find reasons to celebrate. Even...
