    The framework lawmakers agreed to Sunday night would not guarantee an extension of the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told reporters Sunday evening, signaling she’d vote no. “The American people want us to stand and fight for health care, and that’s what I believe we should do.” Jeffries added in a statement that “we will not support spending legislation advanced by Senate Republicans that fails to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. We will fight the GOP bill in the House of Representatives, where [Speaker] Mike Johnson will be...

    KEWANEE, Ill. (KWQC) - Three women have been charged after police say there was an argument over the price of a pizza late Wednesday morning. Nakeita Simpson, 33, of Elgin was arguing with Cenex gas station workers after the price of a pizza was a dollar more than what she had thought, according to Kewanee police. When police arrived, they offered to pay the $1 to end the argument, but that didn’t work, police said. The arguing continued and was joined by two women, Kianna Simpson, 27, and Diamond Lockhart, 18, both of Kewanee, police said. The Cenex employees...
  • Here’s How Obamacare Really Works, and It’s Disgusting

    It’s been over 15 years since Democrats passed Obamacare under the promise that it would make healthcare affordable. Americans were supposed to save money, keep their doctors, and finally get a system that worked for them instead of the big insurance companies. Today, those promises look like a sick joke. A recent post shared by our sister site Twitchy highlights how the Obamacare boondoggle really works, and why it doesn’t actually work for the people. Instead, it was built to enrich the healthcare industry, and the numbers prove it. Let me give you a rundown of how it works, if...

The text of the bill can be found here.What's in the Deal?In exchange for their support of a bill to re-open the federal government, the seven Democrats were promised a...

    Even more impressive is that Predator: Badlands" has the highest rating for a film in the franchise, as its current Cinemascore is an A-. This is huge news for the future of the franchise, and the latest chapter in the saga that Trachtenberg is building. As stated, "Prey" helped to revive the franchise when the story took audiences on a journey where a Predator faces off against the Comanchee Nation. The idea of an alien hunter taking on historical warriors was further explored in "Predator: Killer of Killers," which

    Kevin Roberts of 'Heritage Foundation' on Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes ScandalComplete Summary – October 27 to November 9, 2025Overview of the ScandalThe controversy began after Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on October 27, 2025, in a two-hour podcast that amassed over 17 million views on X. Carlson asked softball questions, nodded approvingly, and did not challenge Fuentes’ antisemitic remarks, praise for Hitler and Stalin, or claims about “organized Jewry” controlling U.S. politics. Carlson also accused pro-Israel American Christians of having a “brain virus” and being heretics.This triggered bipartisan outrage, with critics accusing Carlson of normalizing neo-Nazi...

    Molly McNearney, Jimmy Kimmel's wife and the co-head writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, just gave the world a front-row seat to what happens when politics becomes your entire personality. During a November 6 appearance on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast, she proudly admitted to bombarding her family with desperate emails before the election, begging them not to vote for Donald Trump. Imagine thinking this is a good idea. "I sent many emails to my family right before the election, pleading, 'Please don't vote for him. Here are 10 reasons why you shouldn't,'" McNearney confessed. Roughly 90% of her...

    As the traditional entertainment industry continues to contract, Hollywood’s allure to visitors clearly loses its appeal — and that has massive implications for L.A., which for decades has counted on Hollywood to bring in billions in tourism dollars. According to the Hollywood Partnership, a nonprofit dedicated to the beautification and economic vitality of the neighborhood, foot traffic around the entertainment district has dropped about 50 percent the past year and has never fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. And it’s clear why: The area is neglected, dirty, uncomfortable to be in. Plus, what is there really to see or do in...

My sister Mollynme discovered FR first and alerted me to it. (She succumbed to cancer 8-1/2 yrs ago). Unfortunately, today I learned of the passing of another Freeper who was with me and 8 or 10 others from the Fall of 2000 until at least 2006, in a faithful group who engaged in street corner activism, each of us making our own signs/posters:...

    The Heritage Foundation’s Halloween fiasco revealed less about antisemitism on the right than about the establishment’s renewed war on Trump’s populist movement.Is there anything left to say about the Heritage Foundation’s pre-Halloween melodrama? It was quite a scary show. I am confident that when Kevin Roberts, president of that venerable bastion of conservatism, got outside his morning egg on October 30, he had no inkling that his two-minute and thirty-nine-second video clip would precipitate a seismic detonation that would rock the foundation and monopolize the news cycle for days.The main purpose of the video, Roberts said, was to reaffirm that...

    A total of 503 migrants crossed the English Channel in one day as the Government considers a major shake-up of the country’s immigration rules. The latest arrivals came in seven small boats on Saturday, with more vessels making the crossing from France on Sunday. It brings the total for the past three days to 1,772, and for the year so far to 38,726. This compares with 32,119 who made the journey by the same date last year, and 26,699 in 2023. More people were photographed in Dover on Sunday being brought ashore on a Border Force vessel while wearing lifejackets,...

    In a marathon Game 7 of the 2025 World Series at the Rogers Centre, the Toronto Blue Jays fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 11 innings. It was a devastating finish to a series defined by unforgettable plays. The series left fans with indelible memories of hits, runs and near-misses — unbelievable and inexplicable moments that few will forget in the years to come. But that wasn’t all the stood out. From chants for Vladdy — first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — to calls for a “Springer Dinger” from designated hitter George Springer, fans also witnessed something deeper: the...

    Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, has been elected mayor of New York City. More than one million New Yorkers — 50.4% of the electorate — cast their ballots for a guy who promises government-run grocery stores, free buses, a rent-freeze, diminishing the role of police in fighting crime, higher taxes on the wealthy and a vastly expanded government sector.Some of his best numbers came from the gentrified or gentrifying neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Prospect Heights, East Williamsburg and Bushwick gave him more than 80% of their votes.These areas are now associated more with oat-milk lattes than organized labor. That’s led...
  • Dave Portnoy says there's been a "definitive shift" toward antisemitism: "People are coming up with real hate"

    Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy said in an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning" that he's experiencing daily antisemitism — a shift, he said, from the occasional hateful comments that he used to get. "It's every day now. Like, there's a definitive shift in what's going on," Portnoy told Tony Dokoupil in an interview that will air next Sunday. On Friday, Portnoy was recording a "One Bite" pizza review in Mississippi when someone yelled an antisemitic comment at him. His interview with Dokoupil was taped before the incident, but their conversation touched on a recent rise in hateful comments. Portnoy said...

    The world of wealth is constantly evolving, with fortunes rising and falling as markets shift and industries innovate. As of November 2025, the wealthiest individuals are predominantly technology pioneers and influential business magnates who have built vast fortunes through innovation, strategic investments, and entrepreneurial vision. Leading the pack is Elon Musk, whose ventures in electric vehicles, space exploration, artificial intelligence, and social media have propelled him to the top of the global wealth rankings. Musk is now on track to become the world’s first trillionaire, following a landmark Tesla pay package. These billionaires exemplify how ambition, technological innovation, and calculated...

    Zohran Mamdani won his race to become the next mayor of New York City on Tuesday. On Thursday the NY Times published a story explaining just how expensive his plans for the city will be. Let's start with free child care:The biggest plan, by far, is free universal child care. The city already offers free preschool for all 4-year-olds and many 3-year-olds. Expanding child care to infants and to toddlers under 3 would be a major challenge. Mr. Mamdani’s administration would have to create new day care facilities and hire scores of child care workers.Mr. Mamdani’s campaign estimated that this...

    Line forms to the left, ladies. Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is back on the market after an alleged affair with an out-of-state elected official put the brakes on his 10-month relationship with progressive activist Nomiki Konst, two sources tell The Post. The couple went public with their courtship in February with de Blasio, 64, saying at the time he and Konst, 41, were “kindred souls” who had known each other for a long time. But 10 months later and the erstwhile happy couple is no more, with sources saying the former “The Young Turks” investigative reporter and Bernie...
