I've had an Alen FIT50 air purifier for several years. Lately, it turns itself off when plugged into a given outlet for a few weeks. Plugging it into a different outlet, it starts right back up again and works well for a few weeks. Then it stops again. I've even merely changed it from being plugged into the upper slots, where it stopped working after a few weeks, to the lower slots, where it started working again, in the same outlet. Never saw anything like this before. Does anyone know why this air purifier stops working in a given slot...

**I have tried to revise transcript of video for ease of reading. Last winter Russia went through the communal catastrophe power and boiler plants broke down. Hundreds of thousands of people were stuck without electricity, heat , hot cold water. • Right now there are millions of people are affected by floods in the south of Urals region of Russia and yet the help from the government is very limited if any. • Right now, there are 47% of Russian Industrial Enterprises both military and non-military reporting shortages of qualified workers! • Right now Tatarstan province of Russia is in...

Operation Rescue previously reported on pro-lifers incarcerated for their efforts to save innocent children from being violently slaughtered at the hands of abortionists. The majority of the pro-lifers referenced participated in a rescue in October 2022 at Cesare Santangelo’s Washington Surg-Center. At this late-term killing center, perfectly formed, innocent babies are murdered through the ninth month of pregnancy, and evidence certainly suggests that babies are killed or left to die after being delivered alive. Santangelo readily admitted he would make no efforts to save a child born alive in an undercover investigation conducted by LiveAction in 2012. These convicted pro-lifers...

Murphy retired from the U.S. House the year Democrats lost 54 seats and became the minority party in the House for the first time in 40 years. He was succeeded by fellow Democrat Frank Mascara. When he was out of elected office, allegations of wrongdoing swirled around Murphy for a final time in 1999, when he was indicted by a Fayette County grand jury for allegedly forging absentee ballots for residents of a nursing home. He was charged with forgery, conspiracy and tampering with public records. In a deal with prosecutors, all but one of the voter fraud charges were...

Ron Paul Trashes Speaker Mike Johnson in Stunning New Monologue “Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reported to have bragged to his colleagues about how easily Speaker Johnson gave Democrats everything they wanted and asked for nothing in return.” “In the worst example of bipartisanship, Johnson reached across the aisle, stiffed the Republican majority that elected him speaker, and pushed through a massive gift to the warfare corporate welfare state. After the House voted to send another $60 billion to notoriously corrupt Ukraine, members waved Ukrainian flags on the House floor and chanted, ‘Ukraine! Ukraine!’ While I find it distasteful...

1. Alice in Chains Plaintive, emotive, and occasionally mournful, Alice in Chains pioneered a melodic, intoxicating sound. Quite simply, their moodiness was mesmerizing. Their songs not only dealt with themes of heartbreak and loss, but also tackled big picture issues like war and conformity. As far as rock bands in the 90s go, these legends are the undisputed, often underappreciated, masters of the form. Check out their 1994 epic Jar of Flies.

Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire! (1957)

Portrait of Fräulein Lieser', which the Austrian modernist artist started in 1917, sold to an unknown buyer at an auction in Vienna yesterday. The portrait of a young woman was one of Klimt's last works, as the artist died in early 1918 after suffering from a stroke, meaning the painting has small unfinished areas. The Jewish Lieser family, who had commissioned the painting, received the artwork unfinished, but soon after were forced to flee Austria amid the rise of Hitler and antisemitism.

For years, Dr Kinnon MacKinnon, like many people in the transgender community, considered the word “regret” to be taboo. MacKinnon, a 37-year-old transgender man and assistant professor of social work at York University here, thought it was offensive to talk about people who transitioned, later regretted their decision, and detransitioned. They were too few in number, he figured, and any attention they got reinforced to the public the false impression that transgender people were incapable of making sound decisions about their treatment. “This doesn’t even really happen,” MacKinnon recalled thinking as he listened to an academic presentation on detransitioners in...

Ol Grandpa Joe is having a banner day. When he's not doing a Ron Burgundy impression, he's saying things that we actually believe are true. Watch: BIDEN: "How many times does [Trump] have to prove we can't be trusted!?" pic.twitter.com/g3o9cM6zQ5 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 23, 2024 'We can't be trusted' -- yeah, Joe, we know. We wouldn't trust you as far as we can throw you. Whoops, a little bit of truth slipped out for a change. — Kelkat (@Tweetytweeter63) April 23, 2024 Yep. For a change. I think he has pretty much proven it. You can’t be trusted...

A new article out from Politico reveals that a select group of lawyers and legal pundits have been working behind the scenes to quash a Trump second term using the media. They've been sharing narratives, honing points, and working together to "intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system." The names of those who have been at these meetings are all too familiar and their tactics mirror those undertaken in 2020 to manipulate media to sway the presidential election in Biden's favor. A group began meeting weekly in 2022, every Friday, on Zoom calls...

The rate of pitcher injuries in baseball has been a topic of conversation across the sport in recent years, but debate reached a boiling point when aces Shane Bieber and Spencer Strider and budding star Eury Perez all suffered season-ending elbow injuries just weeks into the 2024 MLB season. The wave of injuries led to dueling statements from the MLBPA and MLB about the potential root cause of the injuries. We asked our MLB experts to talk to a handful of pitchers about what they believe is behind the rise -- and what steps they would take to solve the...

"Such an inquiry is needed to protect shareholders, including TMTG’s retail investors," Nunes says. Devin Nunes, CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group, is asking House committee leaders to investigate the potential "unlawful manipulation of DJT stock." In a letter to the committees, Nunes pointed out that DJT [the initials for Donald J. Trump] has appeared every day since April 2 on Nasdaq’s "Reg SHO threshold list," which he said is "indicative of unlawful trading activity." The concern follows Trump Media & Technology Group, whose flagship product is social networking site Truth Social, began being traded late last month...

There are five things the aid package will not do for Ukraine. It will not provide enough money. It will not provide the badly needed weapons, nor deliver them on time. It will not provide the even more badly needed troops. And it will not provide victory. Though $61 billion is a massive amount of money, it is not massive enough to defeat Russia. Ukraine accomplished little but the loss of life and the most advanced weapons during its centerpiece counteroffensive when it was receiving even more.

Poland is ready to help Ukraine in getting military-age male citizens to return and help their home country in fighting in the war against Russia, Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Wednesday. The Ukrainian government announced rules on Wednesday under which passports for military-age men can be issued only inside the country instead of foreign diplomatic missions. As a result, men aged between 18 and 59 living abroad will be unable to renew expiring passports or obtain new ones. Poland has suggested in the past helping Ukraine so that those who are subject to military service go back to their...

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ind. — A Lawrence County woman is facing a felony narcotics charge after calling 911 to report her dealer for providing an inferior batch of methamphetamine earlier this year. According to court documents, Sarah Harris, 34, called police from “open line” calls to “turn the person in” who had supplied her with tainted methamphetamine that she complained made her feel like she was going to have a heart attack.

A message from our Founder: TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet. This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides. It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution. Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The Gateway Pundit through...
