Free Republic

I listened to PDJT’s press conference on the radio yesterday. Absent all the visual theatrics I concentrated only on the verbal back and forths. I must say, the President is getting better – much better in my opinion - at handling the group of rabid hyenas that pursues him. While I’ve enjoyed all of his earlier pressers, he did have a tendency to get drawn offsides too easily by the militant hecklers posing as journalists. He’s grown much better at batting back their bleating. Case in point, Mr. Acosta’s boorish antics that resulted in the suspension of his White House...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, guess who’s back? – Anitfa, which is nothing more than the militant arm of the Democrat Party, had had its activities suspended in the run-up to the election, probably on orders from Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Now that the election has come and gone, orders have gone out for this bunch of brain-dead cretins to resume their previous assaults around the country. Isn’t that great? So, last night, a group of them assembled on the front yard of Fox News host Tucker Carlson and chanted threats at him and his...

So the much anticipated 2018 election is over. Scott and DeSantis squeaked out wins in Florida; Beto (barely) got veto'd; McCaskill and Heitkamp are out; Menendez survived; and Keith Ellison won AG in Minnesota. And Occasional-Cortex won her House seat, in a Dem district. And, the Democrats eked out a win in the House; but it took the combined efforts of 24x7 Trump derangement in the MSM, censorship from social media, hundreds of millions of dollars from liberal billionaires, and backstabbing from the late John McCain and the retiring Paul Ryan, and around 40 GOP resignations, as well as (may...

Despite arguably the most popular woman in pop-music pushing for her opponent, Republican Marsha Blackburn has won her Senate race in Tennesee. Pop-star Taylor Swift pushed for former Democrat Governor and current Senate candidate Phil Bredesen in early October, but to no avail. Apparently, the blue wave couldn’t overcome the red wall in Tennessee as Blackburn has walked away with the victory according to Fox News: U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., was projected to easily defeat former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen in the state’s closely watched U.S. Senate race Tuesday night, tightening the GOP’s hold on the upper chamber of...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This was never going to be easy. No political revolution ever progresses in a straight line. The American system – the Constitution itself – strongly agitates against rapid, radical political change of any kind. In the first two years of the Barack Obama Administration, Americans saw rapid, radical political change and rebelled against it, turning the House over to Republicans in 2010 and then the Senate in 2014. Americans again saw rapid over the past two years, as President Donald Trump reversed about 90% of the Obama era from the history books,...

If you need a cheerleader today, I’m probably not it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we held the Senate, even picked up a few seats. And there is some delayed satisfaction in the fact that all those Dems who voted against Justice Kavanaugh lost.And sure, it was delightful to watch the heartbroken MSM admit that their big Blue Wave was in reality just an annoying little drip. And since we held the Senate we still control judicial appointees which in the long game may be the money play - but for now seems like painfully delayed gratification.On the other hand the thought of...

A bill to lower the voting age to 16 for all elections, both local and federal, was approved by the Judiciary and Public Safety committee of the DC City Council by a 3-0 vote. It is now slated for a full Council vote in the very near future. Council member Charles Allen sought to rebuff critics who contend that people this young don't have enough real life experience to be informed voters. "They may still live with their parents and haven't had the burden of supporting themselves, but neither have the legions of welfare recipients who currently vote," Allen pointed...

And were off! It’s Race Day in America!Oh, whoops, I can see how some might think that sounds, ah, racist. And that of course will give them cover to lie, cheat, steal and rob graves in order to get their POWER back.I know that nobody here needs to be encouraged to get to the polls to stop the crazies from imposing their contract on America. But remind anyone you might run into today that the country is doing just fine without the iron vise of Democratic control.And anybody who thinks handing the reins of the House Financial Services Committee over...

The communications giant rejected a political ad from Tennessee Republican senate candidate Marsha Blackburn because “it shows Democrats in a bad light.” The ad shows Democrat mobs engaged in several incidents of violence and threats of violence. Google did not dispute the truth of the content. Google CEO Pichai Sundararajan explained that “truth is not a defense against bad manners. Pointing out some else’s faults is not the way to start a beneficial dialog. The criticized party is not usually motivated by criticism to modify his behavior in the direction desired. Rather than allow Ms. Blackburn to waste her money...

You’re probably tired of hearing that every election is the most important ever, but in a world where totalitarianism is increasingly and nonchalantly embraced by the Left, every election does indeed become the most important ever.So grab your cellphone and encourage those right thinking people closest to you to get out and vote, offer them a lift if need be. Encourage anybody you can to vote to keep the kind of growth President Trump has ignited in America – exactly what he promised – to continue.

In what she hopes will be a clinching argument for voters to give Democrats the majority needed to control Congress, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif) vowed that “strengthening penalties against those who oppose the LGBT agenda will be a top priority.” “Our society is stained by continued resistance to the rights of the LGBT community,” Pelosi complained. “We see religious adoption agencies insisting on placing children in homes with both a mother and a father. We see schools that bar boys who see themselves as girls from using the girls locker room. We see small businesses trying to get...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) President Donald Trump was in both Montana and Florida for rallies on Saturday. Think about that for a minute: He’s based in Washington, D.C. He gets up in the morning, gets his daily security briefing, then hops on Marine One – after chatting with the hostile fake news media for a little bit – which takes him to Joint Base Andrews. There, he boards Air Force One for the 5-hour flight out to Belgrade, Montana. He spends an hour speaking to an audience of thousands of Montanans – with...

Your one “free” hour of the year arrived this morning at 2:00 AM, compliments of the powers that be. So for the time being everyone will spend the next week waking up an hour earlier than normal because small children, cats and dogs can’t tell time. As I’ve pointed out in the past, the only intelligent comment on DST I’ve ever heard was an observation generally attributed to a wise old Indian Native American:  “Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer...

NBC Anchorman Chet Huntley At 7 AM Eastern Time Wednesday November 6, 1968- I was watching Chet Huntley and David Brinkley on the morning of Wednesday November 6th, 1968 as I awoke around 7 am from a short nights sleep for an eight year old, probably not much more than four and a half hours.

In one of those Veritas undercover videos, Dominic Chacon, a field manager for the O'Rourke campaign in El Paso, Texas tells Anapaula Themann, a field organizer for the O'Rourke campaign, about his efforts to get supplies to the caravan from Honduras trying to make its way into the United States. "These are all potential votes for Beto," Chacon asserted. "We've got to do whatever we can to ensure that they get here by election day. They need food and water. Beto has the money to pay for these supplies. We would be letting him down if we don't get these...

Jane Fonda - who went to North Vietnam during the Vietnam war, speaking out against the U.S. military’s policy in Vietnam on 10 radio programs, begged our pilots to cease bombing non-military targets and appeared in an infamous propaganda photo looking for all the world like she was more than willing to shoot down American planes – kind of sort of apologized 43 years after the fact for allowing herself to be “used” by commies for propaganda purposes: “It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people...
