Well before the media projected Joe Biden to be the winner of the presidential election last November, rabid left-wing commentators and anti-Trump “news” outlets like CNN and MSNBC warmed up to the idea of effectively ostracizing and canceling Trump officials from polite society with no job prospects in place because they had the audacity to serve in the Trump administration. Enemies lists were proposed in certain elite leftist/Never Trump (but I repeat myself) circles. Even so-called journalists like CNN’s Jake Tapper jumped onboard with the idea of life being made harder for former Trump officials who were trying to provide...

As the pandemic dragged on, the leagues, universities, pro franchises, and other entities that profit from a multibillion-dollar sports economy made a push for games to return. But these efforts also reflected a working assumption that the mere presence of sports would provide comfort, and perhaps a welcome distraction, for people who wanted to escape the horrors of the pandemic, at least momentarily.

Texas is lifting its mask mandate, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday, making it the largest state to end an order intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus that has killed more than 42,000 Texans. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has faced sustained criticism from his party over the statewide mask mandate, which was imposed eight months ago, as well as other restrictions on businesses that Texas will also scuttle next week. The mask order was only ever lightly enforced, even during the worst outbreaks of the pandemic. The state is removing limits on the number of diners or customers allowed...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Senate Majority Whip and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) said there should be an investigation of the sexual harassment charges against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and “credibility given to the charges.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will discuss the issue of race in Britain with Oprah Winfrey, it was revealed today. The Duchess of Sussex will also open up about her self-esteem while living in the UK after her husband claimed the pressure of being in London was 'destroying' his mental health so they needed to emigrate to the US and quit as frontline royals. Meghan, whose mother Doria is African-American and father Thomas is white, became the first mixed race member of the Royal Family after walking down the aisle with Harry at Windsor in May 2018.

The slur goes something like "you had one job to do", but because I'm a geek, immersed in IT and knowledgeable about webmaster things, I know it's a spoke in a wheel. But when there's a Copyright List that every responsible FReeper goes to when posting from a source which isn't familiar, there's a reasonable expectation that following what's stated on the Copyright List page is correct. I, for one, have MUCH BETTER things to do than to spend the time - repeatedly - posting something to FR only to have the message pop up "Post blocked due to copyright...

An Antigonish judge has found two brothers not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman who testified the whole thing started after she was chased by a bear.The victim’s name in this case is protected by a publication ban and everyone involved is identified by initials. “She testified that she was sexually assaulted by the two accused and a third man (now deceased) on May 25, 2018. She recalled the date because it was the day after a harrowing experience when she ran away from a bear,” Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice James Chipman said in a written decision released Friday.One...

Leftist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) avoided answering tough questions from CNBC that underscored the nonsense behind her wealth tax proposal. CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor Joe Kernen played devil’s advocate in an attempt to expose the lack of logic behind Warren’s tax proposal. Kernen said to Warren during the March 2 edition of Squawk Box: “If you’re going to do two percent [tax] on 50 million [dollars], and then when you get up to a billion [dollars] and you’re going to three percent [tax], if we’ve made, if we’ve crossed the rubicon … why not make it truly progressive and do...

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which recently passed the House, contains $1400 stimulus checks. But some federal workers will have more than one check. They can get paid time off with up to 15 checks of $1400 each. Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund Neatly tucked within the $1.9 trillion emergency aid package is the $570 million Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund. This budget is exclusive for federal workers who need to stay home to tend to their kids. Thus, this will fund the paid time off for federal workers with children enrolled in schools yet to return to...

Took my truck camper off road to find a hot spring in the mountains and got stuck in deep snow! It took all night to dig out, thanks to a shovel and some traction boards I was able to get free but this trip has confirmed that I definitely need a winch. The snow in the Sierra is so heavy - they call it Sierra Cement for a reason. This video does not accurately depict just how deep and heavy the snow was! I'll have to plan a trip back to the original hot springs I set out to find...

It was yesterday, on March 2nd, that the Norwegian Polar Institute posted a video of the 767’s short time in Antarctica. Embedded below, the minute-long video shows beautiful drone footage of the aircraft on the ice runway. The aerial scene is then followed by a few seconds of timelapse video of passengers getting off the plane, walking down the airstairs. Finally, we can see the 767 take off from the ice runway, surrounded by not much more than ice, snow, and mountains. ... Its next flight is scheduled for tomorrow to a destination that is a little less exciting: Boston...

The Great American Giveaway by Charles Konia M.D. With the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States, the American Communist Party is in a position of becoming in control of the Nation. Every core human quality of the past that Americans have stood for - loyalty, gratitude and respect for America - has been turned on its head into its opposite, destructive ideological forces that are being used against it. This is an old tactic perfected by the past communist ideologue, Saul Alinsky. Today, it is able to bring about America's demise because of the persistent effort...

America is a nation facing crisis. Whether it is the coronavirus pandemic response, the crisis at the nation’s southern border, or brewing conflict in the Middle East, it is in need of strong and steady leadership. During this time of immense national challenges, it appears that leadership is not going to come from the President of the United States. Unfortunately, it appears that Joe Biden is the “missing” president. 1. No Biden Press Briefings in over a month It looks like the last time Joe Biden gave a ‘press briefing’ was on January 25th. That press appearance consisted of a...

The aerospace company has successfully completed the taxiing of its ‘Spirit of Innovation’ aircraft, marking the latest milestone on its journey towards the record-breaking achievement. For the first time, the plane powered along a runway propelled by its electric powertrain and the latest energy storage technology developed to set world speed records.

The first flight is planned for the spring, when the firm hopes the combination...
