The House Armed Services Committee holds a hearing entitled, "Oversight of Extremism Policies in the Army." Freepers I found this while searching pro life stories. The video is over 1 hour long. It's about what happened at Fort Bragg and labeling Pro Lifers as terrorists.

The patented engine design features a special crankshaft that adds more power and compression strokes to the cycle. ================================================================= Porsche has revealed a strange (and possibly brilliant) idea for a six-stroke combustion engine. If you don't know the fundamentals of an internal combustion engine, we'll try to keep this simple. If you do know how engines work ... we'll still try and keep it simple. With very few exceptions every combustion-powered car uses a four-stroke engine: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The intake stroke is where air and fuel come into the cylinder. Compression is when the piston pushes that...

Sharrow. reaches out to a larger market with the aluminum MX-A propellerSharrow Marine View 2 Images Sharrow Marine has quietly been working to disrupt the marine industry with a reimagined propeller it calls the "future of propulsion." The tech originally looked like it might be too expensive and make/model-specific to see that future to fruition in a substantial way, but Sharrow has now introduced the more affordable, consumer-friendly MX-A. Less than half the price of previous models, the latest Sharrow propeller works with smaller outboards of just 40 hp and up, and it's compatible with motors from a who's who...

Watching Trump's last rally, he stated that Evangelicals and gun owners do NOT vote at high levels. I found that very hard to believe. I would have thought those two groups would vote at the highest levels! So I did a little research and found the following-- Evangelicals...make up 28% of all voters--a really huge number--more than African Americans, Hispanic and union voters combined--that is amazing. However, many Evangelicals do not vote....roughly 30% are not even registered, and of those that are registered, 40% do not vote. WOW! Gun owners...10 million hunters and gun owners are NOT registered to vote!Pennsylvania...

The abduction of a six year-old boy from Oakland in 1951 has been solved 73 years on - and incredibly, there's a happy ending. Luis Armando Albino has been found safe and well thanks to a dedicated niece who never gave up hope of tracking down her long-lost relative. Albino, who's now 79, was abducted by a woman on February 21, 1951 from a park in West Oakland where he had been playing alongside his older brother, Roger, who was ten. The woman got his attention and lured him away by tricking him, promising that she would buy him candy....

The public’s trust and confidence in the military is at an all-time low while retention and recruiting rates have plummeted. Today our military services face growing threats around the world while their ability to maintain a quality, well-trained, and capable force is at risk. Our focus should be on readiness, warfighting, and especially selecting the best qualified leaders possible, not on recruiting Drag Queens to perform for service members and their families or promoting sex-reassignment surgeries. Historically, our personnel systems have been built on merit, individual performance, and equal opportunity, aimed at selecting the best qualified. Over the past several...

Navy Seal Author and Historian Matt Bracken comes back on the podcast to discuss pagers blown up in Lebanon, possibility of a cyber attack here, Houthis firing in Tel Aviv, the 2nd assassination attempt of President Trump, Springfield, Haitian invaders and much more.

New York City, with a population of over 8.8 million, had some of the most iron-fisted COVID lockdown policies in America. While the ridiculous, unscientific COVID policies in America’s largest city, which is run almost exclusively by Democrats, were destroying businesses and lives, the person in charge of setting those policies was hosting private sex parties with his wife on Wall Street. In an undercover meeting with a reporter working for Steven Crowder’s popular Mug Club show, Dr. Jay Varma, the former Socialist Mayor Bill De Blasio’s COVID Czar for NYC, was caught revealing stunning details about how he ignored...

The United States Air Force celebrated its 77th birthday on Wednesday, Sept.18, marking the point at which it became a separate entity from the rest of the military. The Air Force officially became a separate division of the U.S. military when President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947. To this day, the Air Force continues to aim high and fight, as it delivers airpower anytime and anywhere to serve and protect our nation. This is a special shoutout to all of our airmen and women at Sheppard Air Force Base and to all members of the U.S....

BYD’s cheapest electric car, the Seagull, was the top-selling car in China last month, with nearly 41,000 models sold. Starting at under $10,000, the BYD Seagull even has US automakers worried. BYD’s Seagull was China’s top-selling vehicle in August BYD has been on a roll, launching lower-priced, updated models of its best-selling models. In March, BYD launched the Seagull EV Honor Edition with a “shocking price” starting at just 69,800 yuan, or less than $10,000. Just five months later, BYD launched the 2025 Seagull with the same starting price. The Seagull is already sitting atop the sales charts in China....

Scientists have for the first time observed quantum entanglement — a state in which particles intermingle, losing their individuality so they can no longer be described separately — between quarks. The feat, achieved at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, could open the door to further probes of quantum information in particles at high energies. Entanglement has been measured in particles such as electrons and photons for decades, but it is a delicate phenomenon and easiest to measure in low-energy, or ‘quiet’, environments, such as in the ultracold refrigerators that house quantum computers. Particle collisions, such as those between...

BOSTON - A Cape Air flight from Boston to Maine landed safely on what appeared to be one wheel after a landing gear problem forced the small plane to return to Logan Airport Tuesday. Flight 1833 to Bar Harbor had three people on board. Cape Air said the pilot "was alerted to a landing gear anomaly shortly after take-off." Just after 3:15 p.m., the Cessna 402 returned to Logan with emergency crews standing by. WBZ-TV's helicopter captured the landing on video. After touching down on the runway, the small plane skidded to a halt near the grass. The people on...

When a pregnant woman had her blood sampled back in 1972, doctors discovered it was mysteriously missing a surface molecule found on all other known red blood cells at the time. After 50 years, this strange molecular absence finally led researchers from the UK and Israel to describe a new blood group system in humans. "It represents a huge achievement, and the culmination of a long team effort, to finally establish this new blood group system and be able to offer the best care to rare, but important, patients," UK National Health Service hematologist Louise Tilley says, after nearly 20...

The National Nuclear Security Administration is “a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile; works to reduce the global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and militarily effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad.” Such important tasks require the best personnel, but the people have cause to wonder. In February, the Biden-Harris administration announced five new NNSA...

No vax, no care. So she had to get 3 vaccines. Within 10 minutes, she was blind in both eyes. She's now fighting for her life. Doctors are baffled as to the cause since it can't be the vaccines. ========================================================================= Executive summary This is one of the most horrific vaccine injury stories I’ve ever heard of. Alexis Lorenze is a 23-year old young woman with a history of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) since January 2024. The hematologist (Zahra Pakbaz) at her hospital (UC Irvine Health) refused to give her further care for her PNH unless she took the Tetanus, Pneumococcal...

Watery Grave During a public Coast Guard hearing on Monday, grim new details of the Titan submersible disaster came to light. It's been 15 months since the tiny vessel descended to visit the Titanic shipwreck 12,500 feet below the surface of the Atlantic. But somewhere along its journey, the Titan submersible abruptly imploded, killing all five people on board. Well over a year later, the US Coast Guard revealed the first image of the wreck in the form of a screenshot of a video recorded by a remotely operated deep-sea drone. The vehicle spotted the Titan's tail cone and other...

Homeward Bound On Saturday morning, NASA's plagued Starliner spacecraft finally made it back to the ground. The capsule landed in the New Mexico desert after spending just over three months in space. But thanks to technical issues worrying NASA officials, it left behind the agency's two stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, bookending a disastrous first crewed flight attempt. The pair will have to wait for their ride back, on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, until February. Signals on the capsule's return were mixed. On the one hand, according to NASA’s commercial crew program manager Steve Stich, it pulled...
