Free Republic

(COMMENTARY) Nigel Farage was explaining to a caller yesterday that 95 percent of British businesses don't do business with the EU. His statement of fact reminds us that the "little people" mean nothing in this debate. As "Mr. Brexit" has often explained, we have a corporatist system of government in the nations of the world where big banks, big business and big government are one. Its been almost 80 years since a British Prime Minister waved a piece of paper with the cameras rolling and even televising to a small audience with the BBC's Richard Dimbleby (David Dimbleby's father) announcing...

"I don't think the media has been very fair to the gilets jaunes" Yellow Vests Protester Michael Bonjour In Bourges, France 1/12/2019 "I've been to several of the protests in Paris and the things I've seen...police officers hitting people who weren't doing anything wrong four or five times, sometimes over the head. Horrible injuries, with people (gilets jaunes) covered in blood" Yellow Vests Protester Michael Bonjour In Bourges France 1/12/2019 On Saturday Yellow Vests protesters expressed their dissatisfaction with media coverage of their protest. Both government and "private" media are seen as giving a one sided picture of things with...

[PHOTO] DEMOCRAT MEDIA’S LIES AND OMISSIONS are enough to choke a donkey. They almost never admit Errors, but they are guilty of Omissions. In this sense, an omission is equal to a lie. “Definition of omission 1: something neglected or left undone. 2: ...neglect of duty Synonym: deletion” Big Democrat media lies to you. They will not tell you anything they don’t want you to know. They only tell you what lies fit their fake world, and what they allow you to know. This is because they think they own you; that you are enslaved to their Liberalism, lies and...

You mean the people who were telling us three years ago that anyone who believed in an evidence-free conspiracy theory was unfit to be elevated to a position of public prominence now turn out to have falsely, stupidly believed in an evidence-free conspiracy theory for these same past three years?!

President Trump can build a wall as a military training activity. In a combat area concrete walls may be needed as part of a bunker to protect personnel or supplies. A wall can protect buildings from a truck bomb on a nearby road. Thus military personnel need to know how to construct concrete walls The southwestern states provide a good location to train personnel to construct concrete walls in the Middle East because it has a relatively close match in terrain, climate and soil. Training benefits would include practice in moving personnel, equipment and supplies into an area and learning...

[PHOTO] It seems to me that Democrats and their lap-dog media are liars. Democrats and their media no longer care about America and Americans. They seem to be all about destroying—killing—America. They are about ruining Trump. They promote “patriotic” illegals over and above real Americans. Everyone of us conservatives already knows this. What bothers me more, and what I’m writing about here, is a mystery of how and why the remainder of America views these lying elites. How can they be seen as near demigods, mythic, glorious in truth, justice, and the socialist way? DEMOCRAT MEDIA, 2019. A BUNCH OF...

In an effort to bolster his credentials for a possible 2020 run for the Democratic presidential nomination, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he won't sign the state's budget until the legislature passes a law making it legal for abortions to be performed by any person for any reason and at any time—right up until moments before birth. The current state statute requires that abortions be performed by licensed physicians before the 24th week of pregnancy. Cuomo called any restrictions "completely unacceptable. The crushing burden of an unwanted child should never be forced on a woman. The toll on her...

Good Morning. The third attempt to form a new Swedish government since last September's General Election is underway this week..... The British Prime Minister Theresa May making her final pitch for her controversial Brexit plan considered a sellout to the European Union by those who campaigned for a total separation from the EU when Brexit was approved in the June 2016 referendum..... The leading political party in the polls in France right now, the National Rally led by Marine Le Pen, held a national convention over the weekend to roll out its list of candidates for the European Parliament elections...

What is the “Judicial Power?” It’s worth knowing because the Constitution’s Article III grants all of it to Scotus and inferior courts. Through the Judicial Power, may courts fabricate previously unknown rights? What about lawsuits against government climate or border wall policies? Is this what the Framers had in mind? The language of Article III § 2 makes clear the Framers did not envision federal judges rummaging around as they pleased through the Constitution and laws of the United States, but instead provided for resolution of disputes arising in a “judicial” manner. The business of federal courts is limited to...

Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter Baby Prattle: Twitter talk, often as not so much online baby prattle, is destined to come ricocheting back on rookie New York rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who fired off a juvenile Twitter response: ‘New party, who dis?’ after 76-year-old Joe Lieberman made it known in a Fox Business Network interview that he feared her brand of high-tax socialism could doom the party’s chances for long-term dominance in Congress. When you’re 29-going-on18 and your critic is 76 years old, the pickings to go after him are easy.

Let the 2020 freak show begin, it will be a campaign for the ages Now that the mid-terms are over, and the new Congress has started, political observers have already started to focus on the 2020 presidential campaign. Every election cycle it begins earlier, especially in this case, because the Democrats and their supporters in the media are obsessed with defeating President Donald Trump.

(COMMENT AND ANALYSIS) "I think there's now a genuine danger that we may end up having a second referendum on the EU. Huge forces are working on this, and will try to get their way in the weeks to come. Prepare for an ambush" Peter Hitchens-"Mail On Sunday" Column 1/12/2019 "I think what they're going to do to us is they're going to extend Article 50. I think in time they will be able to force a second referendum upon us. I'm not certain of that, but they may. And we have two. I have two, you have two choices....

President Trump is the solitary wall that is protecting this country in so many ways from a full-blown communist takeover On a print from 1886 of the Statue of Liberty someone wrote, “There is room in America and brotherhood for all who will support our institutions and aid in our development. But those who come to disturb our peace and dethrone our laws are aliens and enemies forever.” Times have changed fundamentally since 1886. Liberal Americans and the socialist Democrats of today are fighting the rest of the country to remove our borders, to disarm law enforcement, to pay for...

We are losing more and more of our rights under feel good laws that do absolutely no good The country has been tending towards a police state for some time. Nowhere are the losses of individual rights accepted by so many people as when these rights are taken away in order to combat drinking and driving. The new amendments to the Criminal Code that came into effect on Dec. 18, are not only draconian but some of the provisions border on the absurd. While some in the media have addressed the fact these amendments infringe upon peoples’ rights, little has...

President Trump: "The Dems must come to their senses on border security” The Wall we rarely if ever hear about is the impregnable one built by the Democrats to keep their own citizenry out. The wall protecting Democrats is held in place by 95% of the mainstream and social media, the Entertainment Industry, education institutions, sporting world and on and on. Criticism of the Democrats cannot find its way over, under or around the Democrat built-in protection wall while Democrat and media criticism of President Donald Trump has been served up every day since Jan. 20, 2017 and rages on.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md) used the deferral of paychecks for federal employees due to Congress’ failure to approve the appropriation of funds to cover this expense as an inspiration to liken Trump to a pre-Civil War slave driver. “Back in 1860 millions of people were forced to work without being paid,” Hoyer observed. “We called that slavery. Now, with President Trump refusing to compromise by accepting our Party’s refusal to budge an inch on his request for $5 billion to fund border security as a precondition for Democrats to approve funds for ending the government shutdown, federal employees...

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other boosters of the latest redistributive fads might want to consider a parable from the ancient political philosopher Xenophon before getting carried away in their self-righteous assumptions. There are two boys, one big and one small. The big one has a small coat, the small one has a large coat. The big one strips the large coat from the small boy and in its place gives the small boy the smaller coat. Both boys now have a coat that fits. But is this justice? Certainly, both boys have better fitting coats. But that isn’t...

The police said ha that 50-thousand protested last week, but this week they say the number was up to 84-thousand. The media locally is admitting that today's protests were predominately peaceful in France. The Interior Minister for the government of President Emmanuel Macron Christophe Castaner heaped praise on the police, working long hours without being fully compensated for their overtime, receiving one-time partial payments in the hundreds of dollars for thousands of dollars worth of work in the last two months of 2018. Some eight thousand protesters estimated in Paris. Other statistics included 6700 for the protest called in the...

[PHOTO] The modern Socialist doesn’t have an actual brain. [PHOTO] Their substitute-brain, Karl Marx, wrote THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, in 1848. And, ever since then, Communism/Socialism has had an unbroken record: over 170 years of utter failure, everywhere it was tried. Yet, the communist-inspired philospher—the Socialist—still beatifically calls for world-wide socialism. In these days of an American Trump, and a wild jackass, anti-America, “Resistance,” the Socialist, smiley-face, “look” has changed. It alternates between bug-eyed madness and fanged violence. “Socialists may not be able to claim experience, learning, smarts, or success. But they make up for all that by a boundless certitude.......

A Navy submarine commander was disciplined and demoted last summer after admitting to paying for female prostitutes while stationed in the Philippines. Capt. Travis Zettel lost the confidence to command the attack submarine USS Bremerton and was relieved of duty back in August following the investigation...
