"I love Tiny! One of my favorite mentors ever and one of the most talented chefs in the Army. Tell him he's looking a little small."That was D.C.-area event producer Stephen Ball's reaction on Twitter to a photo snapped by CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett. Bennet captured two chefs tending an outdoor grill for the White House's Iftar celebration, a breaking of the Ramadan fast. And the Internet went wild.
 

Why We Need the Electoral College (Rush Limbaugh)

RUSH: They weren’t taught about the Founding Fathers. They weren’t taught about the concept of federalism. You can’t understand the Electoral College unless you know what federalism is, and federalism is one of these terms that, in many cases, means the exact opposite of the word as it’s currently applied. The word “federalism” you might think that means federalism trumps everything; federalism means federal domination. It does not mean that. It means the exact opposite, in fact. It means the states are sovereign and the federal government cannot tell ’em what to do in so many different ways. But I...

The Kyiv Independent ^ | 6/4/24 | Chris York and The Kyiv Independent news desk
NATO is creating a series of "land corridors" that would be used to rush U.S. troops across Europe to confront Russian forces in the event of a major conflict with Moscow, The Telegraph reported on June 4. Warnings that the Kremlin could attack a NATO country in the near future have increased in urgency in recent months. Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's top general, said the military alliance only has two to three years to prepare, Bloomberg reported on June 3. "At one point someone said it'll take 10 years (before Russia reconstitutes its offensive capacity), but I think we're back to...

The mad dash to scale Everest: Video shows huge 'traffic jam' of climbers snaking up ice-covered slopes in 'weather window rush hour' as two more go missing days after Brit, 40, and Sherpa disappeared near summit

The route to the summit of Mount Everest is jam packed with eager climbers frantically rushing to reach the world's highest point - even as several adventurers and their guides were killed or went missing this week. Shocking video shared to social media showed how a string of dozens of climbers snaked up the glacier in the high-altitude 'death zone' - so called because the air is so thin that most have to rely on supplementary oxygen to survive. The 'human traffic jam', captured on May 20, came as the mountain enjoyed a 'weather window' - a brief period of...

Freepers did an OUTSTANDING job in Q1 when Free Republic had to collect almost $20,000 in TEN DAYS to make the budget! Many donated even though it 'hurt' and some FReepers even donated TWICE to get us across the finish line - we couldn't have made it without that kind of loyalty and generosity. Amazing. I thank God for blessing us with FR, Jim and Chris, and the FReepers who get the job done.As a rule of thumb, I guesstimate collecting at least $1000 per day in the FReepathon would reduce emergency collections. SO looking at Q2, I see we're...
 

Why Kamala Harris' LAUGH has sparked concerns from Democrats as they rush to turn around dire approval ratings... as AOC praises her and 'the authority that comes with having a uterus'

The Democratic National Committee has conducted focus groups on Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new CNN report, to understand why voters do not like her. Some voters in the focus groups said they did not like Harris, specifically citing her laugh for criticism. Others questioned whether Biden even likes her. Harris' approval rating continues to rest somewhere in the mid-30s, according to polls, a historic low for the modern vice presidency as she spent the first three years in office struggling with bad headlines.
 

If Congress passes funding, this is how the US could rush weapons to Ukraine for its war with Russia

ABC News ^ | 4/19/2024 | TARA COPP and LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press
The Pentagon could get weapons moving to Ukraine within days if Congress passes a long-delayed aid bill. That's because it has a network of storage sites in the U.S. and Europe that already hold the ammunition and air defense components that Kyiv desperately needs. -snip- If about $61 billion in funding for the war-torn country gets the green light, “we have a very robust logistics network that enables us to move material very quickly,” Ryder told reporters Thursday. “We can move within days.”

Dozens of migrants were caught on camera jumping off a speed boat that came ashore a California beach over the weekend and running into the nearby city in what locals are saying is becoming a regular occurrence. Video posted online shows the speedboat racing towards the shore in Carlsbad on Saturday, narrowly missing a nearby surfer. Almost as soon as it landed, a group of adult migrants were seen jumping off the boat and sprinting towards a row of oceanfront houses.

If you go to the official Rush Limbaugh website these days, what’s striking is both how sanitized an image of Limbaugh it projects and how much smaller this makes him seem. His eyes are in soft focus, with the slight glisten of a tear starting to form. The non-Rush pictures are of soldiers, children, and bright-eyed scholarship beneficiaries. You can’t even find links to his best-selling books like The Way Things Ought to Be and See, I Told You So. The featured product on sale, instead, is Radio’s Greatest of All Time, a po
 

Illegal Aliens Rush to Cross the Border Before Election Day: 'Trump Won't Let Us In'

There’s a reason the Biden Administration refuses to secure the U.S.-Mexico border despite its immigration policies destroying America— and that reason holds a lot of weight for the president in the 2024 presidential election. Illegal immigrants making their way through Mexico to the southern border say they want “[President Joe] Biden to win” in November, fearing former President Donald Trump will squash their dreams of making it into the U.S. And they’re right. “If it’s Trump, it doesn’t matter how much I work or want to work. They won’t let me in,” one illegal immigrant told The Free Press. Thousands...

The world’s despots have rushed to congratulate Vladimir Putin for his all-but-assured Russian election win. -snip- North Korean media says Kim Jong-un sent his congratulations via his embassy in Russia this morning – unsurprising as North Korea has provided Putin with supplies and munitions for his war in Ukraine. Putin has also received well-wishes and congratulations from the authoritarian ruler of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla. ‌The presidents of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and Bolivia, Luis Arce, joined the small repressive group hailing Putin’s overwhelming victory
 

NYC subway rider who shot ‘aggressive’ straphanger during rush-hour commute won’t be charged: ‘Self defense’

The Brooklyn straphanger who shot a berserk rider attacking him on a rush-hour train Thursday will not be charged, prosecutors said Friday. “Yesterday’s shooting inside a crowded subway car was shocking and deeply upsetting,’’ Oren Yaniv, a spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, said in an an e-mailed statement. “The investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing but, at this stage, evidence of self-defense precludes us from filing any criminal charges against the shooter.” The shot man, Dajuan Robinson, 36, had bought the gun on the train and whipped it out during his attack on a stranger, who shot...

A man was left critically injured after being shot multiple times Thursday afternoon while waiting on the platform of a Brooklyn subway station. The attack came a week after Gov. Kathy Hochul deployed hundreds of National Guard members and state troopers to check riders’ bags in an effort to deter crime so commuters could “feel safe.” “Teams of mental health workers” were also promised by Hochul to calm riders. CBS News New York reports the incident happened just before 5 p.m. on the northbound platform of the A/C line at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station.
 

AI is fueling a gold rush in new data centers, the hottest buildings in real estate

MSN/MarketWatch ^ | Joy Wiltermuth
The latest hot spots in commercial real estate aren’t in Manhattan or Miami. Instead of snazzy hotels or glistening office towers, the new property darlings are power-hungry data centers, often in places like Northern Virginia; Columbus, Ohio; and Salt Lake City. Traditionally box style, these buildings are all about function: A place for racks and racks of computers to be stacked up high, kept cool, and girded for the boundless stream of images, videos, chats, text, internet searches and the digital detritus of our lives. Their goal isn’t merely to contain, host and sort data billowing from computers and smart...
 

Russia warns NATO of certain war if West puts troops into Ukraine-Allied leaders rush to distance themselves from French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion that allies could put boots on the ground to help Kyiv.

Politico ^ | 2-27-24 | LAURA KAYALI AND CLAUDIA CHIAPPA
A conflict between Russia and NATO would be inevitable if Western troops go to Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said today. The Kremlin's comments come after French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out putting boots on the ground in Ukraine as Kyiv struggles to fend off Russia's full-scale invasion. While Macron noted that there was no consensus about troops at this stage, Ukraine has not asked allies for soldiers to fight its cause and other Western governments even scrambled Tuesday to insist troops were not set to be deployed, the mere suggestion sparked a furious response from Moscow....
