Free Republic

Few outside some bitter Republican circles are still arguing that Donald Trump can’t win the 2024 election. What was conventional wisdom a few months ago has fallen to pieces. Trump has already won the primary, not that Republicans have any reason to regret it: he is outperforming Joe Biden in the polls, despite being indicted four times, a remarkable feat that only Trump could pull off. Notably, Trump ran far behind Biden in 2020, when Trump barely “lost,” something that enraged many liberals at the time. 2024 is not destined to be a repeat: it is a new year with...

Exclusive: Sources reveal the South Dakota governor and potential 2024 VP candidate is having an extramarital affair with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Multiple sources have informed American Greatness that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is having an extramarital affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski, who previously served as a campaign manager for Donald Trump. The alleged fling reportedly has continued for months, sources say. Lewandowski accompanied Noem across the country as she stumped for Trump’s reelection last year. According to South Dakota Republicans, former Noem chief of staff Joshua Shields left, in part, because of Lewandowski’s butting in. Lewandowski,...

It was appropriate that news of the Democrats’ plans to pack the Supreme Court broke in April, just a couple days after the 160th anniversary of the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, the shots that began the Civil War. Unlike President James Buchanan, who dithered in responding to obvious Confederate aggression, the newly inaugurated Abraham Lincoln acted decisively upon taking office. He informed South Carolina Governor Francis Pickens that he would be resupplying the fort, forcing South Carolina’s hand. Lincoln’s actions did not start the war—they made it clear that war was already underway. From that point on, Americans, even...

On this special episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Sam Jacobs invites Pedro Gonzalez onto the the show. Pedro Gonzalez is the assistant editor of American Greatness and what might be called a friendly critic of the Trump Administration.

I’m trying to restrain my anger and speak measuredly, but it’s damn hard to do so. (Nancy Pelosi’s latest trial balloon -- an investigation into the President’s handling of the Wuhan virus, was so preposterous it drove me into something I never do -- binge watching old TV serials, in this case “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”) The Wuhan virus spread throughout the world due to the Chinese government’s lies, and the acts of the head of the WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysesus who came to that position from the violent Ethiopian Communist party and covered up for China...

In the summer of 2018, journalist Vivian Yee amused herself with the thought that Orange Country, California, was once an agricultural, “conservative (think Richard Nixon and the John Birch Society) and white (very, very white),” slice of America. But “Chinese and Korean immigrants, and Asian-Americans from other states,” she wrote on the eve of the midterm election, “have made Irvine nearly half Asian.” Asians, Yee noted, are reliably liberal on gun control, climate change, and public spending. Indeed, Michelle Malkin recently took a deeper dive on the same topic in these pages: With the midterms at the time of Yee’s...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder asked an MSNBC audience, "I hear these things about 'let’s make America great again' and I think to myself, 'exactly when did you think America was great?'" Holder went on to parrot progressive gripes about America: "It certainly wasn’t when people were enslaved. It certainly wasn’t when women didn’t have the right to vote. It certainly wasn’t when the LGBT community was denied the rights to which it was entitled." When Holder served as Attorney General, he was found in criminal contempt of Congress . While Holder's dismissal of American greatness might seem surprising to...

It’s All about Local Politics in 2012 By Norma Zager “All politics is local.” Tip O‘Neill The year of the 2012 election has officially begun. I am drawn to the quote from the former Speaker of the House. I take “local” to mean pertaining to self-interest. Now, we in America will be forced to decide what is in our best interests. To stay on our current path or head in a new direction that will lead to a more prosperous and stronger America. Of course there are those whom would argue the point with me rather voraciously. For what is...

What do all the things pictured on this page have in common? They all use technologies or materials that were originally developed for the space program.TV Satellite Dish NASA developed ways to correct errors in the signals coming from the spacecraft. This technology is used to reduce noise (that is, messed up picture or sound) in TV signals coming from satellites. Medical Imaging NASA developed ways to process signals from spacecraft to produce clearer images. (See more on digital information and how spacecraft send images from space.) This technology also makes possible these photo-like images of our insides. Vision Screening...

In this day and age when the founding principles--and the Christian origin of those principles--of the United States are under attack from liberals, secularists, humanists, socialists, and Marxists, it is more important than ever to maintain familiarity with the facts and truths of where we came from. If someone is able to rewrite the past, he is also able to rewrite the present and alter the course of the future. In 1835 Alexis de Tocqueville, a French historian, traveled America as it was coming into its own as a nation. He wrote down his observations about this unique new country...

Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part series on the failure of conservatism as an ideology for moving America forward with a positive agenda for expanding freedom and reviving morality and restoring justice. The conservative mantra about the Republican drubbing in the midterm congressional elections is: "Conservatives didn't lose, Republicans did." With all due respect to my conservative friends, this is the kind of thinking that will take them the way of the Whigs. Don't get me wrong. I love conservatives. Some of my best friends are conservatives. But being "conservative" is not a bold vision for the...

RUSH: Mike in Lake Tahoe, California -- or Nevada. Which side are you on? CALLER: South Lake Tahoe. RUSH: South Lake Tahoe. It's great to have you. CALLER: Yeah, thank you, sir. You know, I understand fully the rules of engagement on Open Line Friday, and, quite frankly, I know it's my job to make you look better as the host. RUSH: Well, no, no, no. Not on Friday. That's out the window, because if you talk about something I don't care about, it's hard for me to look good. So... CALLER: The underpinning, the underpinning. But I mean...

"If only I can get to America." Arnold reminds us why, despite everything, the political conventions are wonderful events. by Hugh Hewitt "THEY COME because their hearts say to them, as mine did, 'If only I can get to America.'" When Arnold spoke those words, I cheered. Within the Party of Lincoln there has always been an understanding of the most important of all of the "laws of nature and nature's God": that all men are created equal. When Arnold articulated the hope that has for centuries driven human beings to extraordinary lengths to make it to these shores, he...
