Headline-only X posts will, if not be the death of Free Republic, will seriously degrade the integrity of the forum.,

Wait a minute...This site is full of articles from the corrupt lying big media, NY Times, LA Times, PBS, Fox News, et al.

Are these sources also destroying the integrity of the Free Republic? Or are all these other sources legitimate and credible?

These days, whenever I hear the word “debunked” or “disinformation” used to discredit and deny an allegation on a politically charges topic, my default position is that the allegations are probably factually correct.

It's the go-to phrase for the left.

Anyone with a brain knows countries like Ukraine are as corrupt as the day is long. The U.S. is in the exact same boat now. Corrupt from the top down... To believe after throwing over a hundred billion in hardware/cash to the corrupt country of Ukraine, that it was all somehow used legitimately and honorably is just industrial strength naïve stupidity.

"But I’ve decided to move on from FR. I don’t fit in here anymore. Administration allows RuZZians to pollute this site. Plus I’ve come to realize I’m a Reagan Republican and not a Trump Republican.

Thought you said you were leaving?

Oh my,another opportunity to show how obviously bad Russian propaganda is. 🙄

This is true just like the Zelensky's buying Highgrove house from the Royal Family was true (it wasn't).

Or when Zelensky was buying multi-million yachts was true. (also false)

And when Olena Zelenska was buying a Bugatti car that wasn't on the market, that was definitely true.

(It definitely wasn't true. Are we seeing a pattern by now?)

Forbes, Satire Or Disinformation: Ukrainian Generals Lost Homes In LA Fires

Satire, But Really Disinformation

"The initial post on Telegram did indeed include the hashtag "сатира" (Russian for satire), but subsequent reposts lacked any mention that it was made in jest. That was true as the story began to circulate on Facebook and X. Yet, even as "satire," it isn't clear where the humor lies in the original post, except possibly to Russian audiences who might find joy that any Ukrainian would see their home burns down in the devastating California fires."

Greece Fact Check, Russian Propaganda: 8 Mansions of High-Ranking Ukrainian Military Officials Did NOT Burn Down in Los Angeles

"CLAIM: Fires in Los Angeles destroyed 8 mansions belonging to high-ranking Ukrainian military officials."

"VERDICT: The claim is baseless and lacks credible evidence. It appears to be a piece of Russian propaganda disseminated through various disinformation channels, falsely attributing the story to Ukrainian sources"

"All examined publications trace back to the Russian Telegram account “Military Observer” (Военный обозреватель). This account made a post on January 11, 2025, claiming:"

"According to Ukrainian sources, 8 mansions owned by high-ranking Ukrainian military personnel were burned during large-scale wildfires in Los Angeles.
The total value of these properties amounts to $90 million and was allegedly purchased with funds provided by the West as part of economic aid to Kyiv after the war began."

"The claim was subsequently disseminated through websites promoting Russian propaganda... ... In all instances, they cite “Military Observer”, which in turn makes a vague reference to “Ukrainian sources,” which are neither identified nor linked to any specific agency."

Maybe looking things up before posting what's trending on social media is a good idea.

Look FRiend - I don’t know if there are 8 mansions in the Palisades owned by Ukrainian Generals destroyed by fire or not. That’s why it was posited it as a question.

I do understand that the US gave billions of our tax dollars to the Ukraine and that Dementia Joe and Fam have greatly benefited from their relationship therefrom. Something smells rotten.

There are dark forces that want the US to commit to WWIII

Riddle me this: Who benefits from all this?

ps. I like your tagline
