According to Mercouris, illusions and fantasies about the war continue to circulate about it. And there are other fantasies connected to it, primarily held by people in Europe. One of the major misconceptions about the military side of the conflict is the discussion about a war conducted between two equivalent armies. That is not the case, it might have been true in some periods of the autumn and late summer of 2022, and maybe something people could believe in 2023. But it's not the case now.Events proceed at a steadily accelerating pace - they point to a Ukrainian military collapse...

Gone is the sugar high over Kamala Harris based on less than accurate polls which peaked following the Democrat Convention only to replaced by Politico gloom due to the first "high-quality" survey since Joe Biden was dumped by the Democrats. The grieving Politico team of Ryan Lizza, Rachael Bade, and Eugene Daniels sounded their sad notes of reality check despair in the Sunday Playbook, "Sobering new polls for Harris."

Hi Freepers, Anyone have "inside contacts" in the Trump organization? I believe that, if Kamala wins, the Biden/Harris admin will immediately on NOVEMBER 6 begin passing Executive Orders to limit and confiscate firearms possession and purchases. Trump NEEDS to talk about this NOW. Many gun owners are not registered to Vote. This might get them out and VOTING!!

Adoration for a cackling chameleon is a poor substitute for a tested patriot with a proven record “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now” (1Jn 2:9) “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” (1Jn 4:20) No one needs a seminary degree or a special anointing to discern the generic theology contained in these two passages.

Christoforou: Asks Mercouris, 'does the speed of the Russian advancement surprise you? We're hearing that Russians are advancing now without much resistance. Are those reports believable?'Mercouris: believes the reports are true and said the Russian advances began accelerating in March.

I am just back from a discount meat market. They are a very large store with prices typically far below regular supermarkets that don't specialize in meat and fish. For example, last year chicken wings sold at this market for just 99 cents per pound.Okay, so I like this market in particular because leading into holidays such as the Labor Day Weekend they typically slash the meat prices with some great sales so today I arrived there hoping to pick up Picanha cut beef for my BBQ this weekend. Imagine my shock when instead of a price reduction, the price...

In today’s rapidly evolving job market, many job seekers find themselves perplexed by the abundance of job openings paired with the difficulty of securing employment. Despite reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicating millions of job vacancies, the reality of landing a job has become increasingly challenging. This seeming contradiction has left many wondering, “If everyone is hiring, why can’t I get a job?” The answer lies in the complex dynamics of the modern hiring landscape, influenced by factors such as ghost jobs, automated screening processes, and economic uncertainty. The current job market presents a paradox. On one hand,...

VIDEOA major change in the political world happened last Friday with Robert F. Kennedy Jr endorsing Donald Trump. As a result there were many reactions to that event. Here are a few of them. Of particular interest was the reaction of CNN which broke away from RFK Jr's speech when he began criticizing Kamala Harris and the Democrats yet on another program recognized the significant impact his endorsement of Trump could have on the election.

Singer Chappell Roan is calling out what she describes as “predatory” behavior from fans, asking them to respect her boundaries in public after delivering a similar message in videos last week. The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer opened up in an Instagram post on Friday. “I've been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions,” wrote Roan, whose debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” rose to meteoric popularity this year. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose...

It seemed the Democrats were test marketing a new label with the aid of Politico's Friday Read that they seem to hope would take the 2024 race by storm. That magic label now being test marketed by the Democrats supposedly to describe the Kamala Harris presidential campaign was, wait for it, "movement."It seems to be the sad duty of poor Michael Kruse of Politico on Friday to put that "movement" label out there to see if the public laughs it off the campaign trail in "The Surprising Word Democrats Keep Using to Describe Kamala Harris’ Campaign."Although Kruse seems to have...

"Russia's wartime economic boom is masking much deeper problems, according to a group of researchers. The authors of a recent article, who hail from institutions including the Yale School of Management, the Wharton School, the Carnegie Endowment, and the Kyiv School of Economics, cast a stark warning for Russia's economic situation despite the nation posting strong growth numbers since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russia's economy is expected to expand another 2.4% this year, according to figures from the International Monetary Fund. However, much of that growth stems from the Kremlin's wild spending spree, and Russia's economy is hindered...

VIDEOBrian Craig, the co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, was speaking to a very very weird caller who claimed he had a "gotcha" tape of Brian saying something earlier on the show that day (August 20, 2024). When challenged by Brian to play the tape the weird caller said he couldn't because the tape was too far away from him in his house as if he lived in some sort of vast mansion. Brian then speculated that the caller was probably drunk on Thunderbird. Later in the show Brian explained he mentioned Thunderbird because he remembered my story about...

Today I am happy to show off another audio book release, Arthur J. Stansbury's Elementary catechism on the Constitution of the United States: for the use of schools, a book as it says, was always intended for young children in schools. This book is written as a catechism form, which for those Christian readers need no introduction here, a catechism form is often used in religious instruction. The book's author, Arthur Stansbury was an American Presbyterian minister and newspaper reporter who was also a noted lithographer, poet, and children's author. It's important to understand the context here. This is a...

Day #7 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads. I'm posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the next couple of months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so it will take at least ten weeks to do this.
