    Singapore has started trialing robots to patrol public areas and deter poor social behaviour in its latest effort to further augment its strong portfolio of surveillance tools. Ranked one of the safest countries in the world, Singapore has put two autonomous robots on trial to detect bad behaviour such as flouting of COVID-19 safety measures, smoking in prohibited areas and the improper parking of bicycles, Singapore's Home Team Science and Technology Agency said in a statement on Sunday. It said the two patrol robots, named Xavier, are equipped with cameras that can detect bad social behaviour and trigger real-time alerts...

    VIDEOOn September 5, 2021 a black swan appeared in Beijing's Tiananmen Square and attracted a lot of attention as you can see. Does this very rare appearance of a black swan in the very center of China portend a Black Swan event? By strange coincidence, on the very same day the black swan appeared in Tiananmen Square, a fascinating documentary about Black Swan Events, "The Worst Kind of Surprise: Black Swan Theory," was uploaded to YouTube. You can see a few excerpts of it in this video but I highly recommend you watch the entire documentary in the link below.The...

    During an interview with Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin aired on Saturday’s “Fox Report,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said that the speed of the collapse of Afghanistan’s military and government was a surprise, and “what you saw unfold with this noncombatant evacuation operation was one of the contingency plans.” And “There was an extensive amount of planning in this.”

    Sorry, for the personal nature of the Thread BUT...I recently got diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and had never heard of it.I'm posting the Thread to ask if anyone here on FreeRepublic is familiar with MG, either them self directly, or has a friend or loved one who has the disease.MG, apparently, has been around forever and is 'kind of' a cousin of MS (Multiple Sclerosis). So far, it's been pretty debilitating with blurred vision, loss of strength, balance problems, and extraordinary fatigue from not a lot of activity and heat. From what I've learned, it's not a curable disease...

    MOSCOW, September 6. /TASS/. The mobilization of reservists is a common practice at such large exercises as Zapad-2021, military expert Viktor Murakhovsky said on Monday. Earlier on Monday, the website of the Russian Defense Ministry reported that reservists were transferred to the Kaliningrad Region to participate in drills. "This is due to the preparation of the Zapad-2021 exercises. According to mobilization instructions, engaging reservists is a typical procedure for conducting operational and strategic exercises or for retraining," he said. According to him, reservists are also called up when declaring martial law during the deployment of the armed forces. "Mobilization training...

    This twenty-first year of the new millennium, America remains burdened by aristocracy. Not quite England’s effete policies under George III that created the American colonies Brits fled to America en masse beginning in April, 1607, but by our own political royal linage to which we nonsensically continue to pay homage by electing them to govern us. Presidential historian Stephen Hess documents in his 2015 book, America’s Political Dynasties: From Adams to Clinton, the families that have loomed large over America’s political history. He argues that our nation was created in rebellion against nobility and inherited status. Yet from John Quincy...

    Once upon a time, ‘binary’ was a mathematical term. Now it is an insult on a par with ‘racist’, ‘sexist’ or ‘homophobic’, to be deployed as a weapon in our culture wars. The enemy on this particular battleground is anyone who maintains that there are men and there are women, and that the difference between them is fundamental. This ‘binary’ distinction is accepted as a given by the vast majority of the human race. No matter. It is now being categorized as a form of bigotry. It’s fast becoming an enforceable orthodoxy, with children and young people particularly in the...

    Capitol rioter's hearing was delayed hours before he was scheduled to be sentenced after videos surfaced on social media in which he is alleged to be attacking a police officer. The man, Robert Maurice Reeder, 55, of Maryland, had been set to appear Wednesday afternoon before U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan after he accepted a plea agreement in connection with his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot. Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence Reeder to a fine and time in prison. The group also posted the videos on its Twitter page. In a 21-second clip, a man the group...

    Joe Biden: God’s servant first or our nation’s ‘Heretic in Chief?’Biden’s public response to the Texas Heartbeat Act, is an 'axe laid to the roots' of what is a foundational moral teaching of the Catholic Church. (Priests for Life) – At midnight Sept. 1, the U.S. Supreme Court formally denied the request to block the Texas Heartbeat Act.The act, now a law, requires abortionists to screen for a fetal heartbeat and prohibits abortion if a heartbeat can be heard. The law only allows exceptions for cases of medical emergency and it is already saving lives.As LifeSiteNews reported: “NBC News reported...

    The federal minimum wage in the U.S. has remained glued at $7.25 an hour for the last 12 years, the longest stretch without a boost since it was first adopted in 1938. Yet there's another revealing figure that underscores how the minimum wage — created by Congress after the Great Depression as a way to ensure that Americans were fairly paid for their labor — has failed to keep up with the times. Even as workers have been more industrious — helping drive corporate profits, the stock market and CEO compensation to record heights — their pay has flatlined, or...

    WASHINGTON — Nearly three out of every four shots administered at the federal government's Covid vaccination center in Cleveland went into white arms, according to site-by-site data provided exclusively to NBC News by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That compares to a city-wide population that is 33.8 percent non-Hispanic white. At the same time, Black people were given just 10.8 percent of the shots, despite accounting for nearly half of Cleveland's residents. And, in figures that comport with broader national vaccination trends, Asian Americans got shots at a higher rate — and Hispanic people at a lower rate — than...

    This article is not meant to attack young people struggling with deep-seated gender confusion. To the contrary, it is meant to expose the attack on these young people. To be totally candid, it’s as if a spirit of madness has descended on our society targeting the youth in particular. It’s as if reality has been turned upside down and truth no longer matters – or even exists. And it is downright heartbreaking to witness. I have been warning against the trajectory of LGBTQ activism since 2004, and over these years, I have talked with countless parents and spouses and siblings,...
