Naming the Capitol Police Officer Who Killed Unarmed Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli BabbittMost police departments — including Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the US Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely.Which is what happened with the Jan. 6 shooting of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester in the US Capitol riot who was fatally wounded by a plainclothes police lieutenant as...

This is frightening. Imagine if President Trump had done this? https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1413228649805873153

Eight weeks ago, Liz Cheney’s colleagues struck her down—and made her more powerful than they could have possibly imagined. They did so, if the media was to be believed, by inadvertently thrusting into her hands a new megaphone to broadcast her anti-Trump message. Around the same time, former Trump administration official Miles Taylor and dissident 2016 presidential candidate Evan McMullin announced a group of disgruntled Republicans who threatened to form a new third party if the GOP failed to expunge the stain of Trumpism. Despite the hype they received on cable news, neither Cheney’s nor Taylor and McMullin’s efforts have...

A leak of google blacklist. While this is no surprise, of course google has freerepublic on its radar as an enemy, here is a listing of a large number (hundreds) and FR makes the grade. Tthis is now circulating to correspond with yesterday's Class Action against Google. From the site: "Zach Vorhies was a Google employee who downloaded 950 pages of internal documents describing Google's censorship regime and then delivered them to the DOJ. He also disclosed these document to the public via Project Veritas on August 2019."

We are entering the age of "Full John Galt." This is a time where society and politicians are rapidly dismantling the rights of ownership. This transfer of rights constitutes a transfer of wealth whether we wish to call it by that name or not. This is a time when people can just walk into a small privately-owned convenience store, then, without paying walk out with an arm full of merchandise with little or no ramifications. This is a time when government deficits have lost all meaning and people are being paid not to work. This is a time when saying...

With new mutations discovered every few weeks, many scientists now predict that Covid will continue circulating around the world for at least the next two to three years, requiring nations to reinstitute public health measures on an ad hoc basis for the foreseeable future

Explanation: Aphelion for 2021 occurred on July 5th. That's the point in Earth's elliptical orbit when it is farthest from the Sun. Of course, the distance from the Sun doesn't determine the seasons. Those are governed by the tilt of Earth's axis of rotation, so July is still summer in the north and winter in the southern hemisphere. But it does mean that on July 5 the Sun was at its smallest apparent size when viewed from planet Earth. This composite neatly compares two pictures of the Sun, both taken with the same telescope and camera. The left half was...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), while speaking to the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, said regaining the House of Representatives and Senate will check President Joe Biden and the Democrat’s radical agenda. During McConnell’s speech, he said the American people would have a “big decision” to make when they head to the polls in the midterm elections next year to decide who has control of the House and the Senate.

The left wing Women’s March has just scored a major victory. As we all know, its founder, Linda Sarsour, wants the U.S. to adopt Sharia law. Well, a Texas judge just ruled that a woman getting a divorce must go by Sharia law, where a woman’s testimony counts only half has much as a man’s.

Not long ago, Michael Avenatti was a fixture on cable news, the bellicose nemesis of former President Donald Trump as lawyer to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He even briefly considered a run for president.On Thursday, Avenatti dropped another few pegs on his descent into disrepute.A federal judge in Manhattan sentenced Avenatti to 30 months in prison for trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike.

Republic . The American republic is in grave danger. We have wandered far from the guiding principles that established our nation and preserved our way of life for more than two centuries. Because Texas was once a republic, its citizens have a unique perspective on the preciousness of independence and the sacrifices that secured our freedoms. We cherish this exceptional system of government and recognize the imminent threats that can destroy what our Founders called “the great experiment” known as the United States of America. For America to endure, every generation must safeguard our constitutional republic and representative democracy from...

The Social Credit Security StateOur woke ruling class intends to use both private and public enterprise to police and punish hearts and minds.President Ronald Reagan famously said, “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’” But as I’ve argued, many modern conservatives are now more concerned about Angelo Codevilla’s harrowing description of our new American oligarchy as an amalgam of “public” and “private” enterprise. We must conclude that the new “most terrifying words” are, “I’m from the ruling class, and I’m here to subjugate you.”That, in a nutshell, is...

The Russian-led CSTO military bloc would be ready to mobilize its full military capacity if the situation on the border with Afghanistan deteriorates, the Interfax news agency cited one of the bloc's chiefs as saying on Thursday. There has been a rapid deterioration in security in Afghanistan as the Taliban have made gains while the United States withdraws its forces after 20 years

Recent film program graduates of Columbia University who took out federal student loans had a median debt of $181,000. Yet two years after earning their master’s degrees, half of the borrowers were making less than $30,000 a year. The Columbia program offers the most extreme example of how elite universities in recent years have awarded thousands of master’s degrees that don’t provide graduates enough early career earnings to begin paying down their federal student loans, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Education Department data. Recent Columbia film alumni had the highest debt compared with earnings among graduates of...

A Texas judge earlier this year ordered that a Muslim woman seeking a divorce appear before a tribunal governed by Sharia, a move that her lawyers said was unconstitutional. In March, Collin County District Judge Andrea Thompson ordered that Mariam Ayad, a woman attempting to divorce her husband, Ayad Hashim Latif, forgo the usual legal paths and instead submit to arbitration under a Fiqh panel, governed by a traditional Muslim group based in Saudi Arabia. Thompson's reasoning rested on a prenuptial agreement between the two in which Ayad agreed to allow her marriage to be arbitrated according to Sharia. Ayad...

China is developing underwater AI robots that can hide in the sea and attack enemy vessels with torpedoes without human guidance. The unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) were developed in experiments over a decade ago and successfully managed to use artificial intelligence to find a dummy submarine and attack it with a torpedo. The experiments, conducted in the Taiwan Strait, saw the UUV deployed on a fixed course 30ft below the surface. It was able to identify the location of the submarine, change course, circle the target, and then fire at the dummy with an unarmed torpedo. The UUV used sonar...
