The U.S. Air Force recently announced that it has picked Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska as the base to host a new small nuclear reactor as part of a pilot program. The U.S. military, as a whole, together with the Department of Energy has been increasingly looking into micro-reactor designs as possible ways to meet ever-growing electricity demands, including for units on the battlefield, as well as to help cut costs and improve general operational efficiency by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The Department of the Air Force announced the selection of Eielson as the host facility for this...

This may be the first time we have heard about this nugget packed away in the NIH National Library of Medicine. Almost a year ago, they suspected that COVID19 vaccines might make you more susceptible to COVID19 and more serious diseases.Published December 4th, 2020Results of the study: COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated. Vaccines for SARS, MERS and RSV have never been approved, and the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern: that vaccines designed empirically using...

A FLORIDA man facing a $50-a-day fine for displaying a "Trump Won" banner outside his home is planning to add another controversial sign. Marvin Peavy has said he will also add a "Let's Go Brandon" banner to his house – a phrase that's become synonymous with "F**k you Biden." The phrases were merged this month with the circulation of a viral video in which a reporter covering a Nascar race misheard the crowd's anti-Biden chant as words of support for winning driver Brandon Brown. Peavy found himself in hot water with officials in Walton County, Florida, last week when...

Good evening fellow Freepers. I wanted to see if I could enlist your aid in locating articles that deal with lawsuits being leveled against the government regarding vaccine mandates. I've been doing Internet searches, but what I would particularly like to find are the court dockets corresponding to any impending lawsuits/class act suits. I got two so far: 1. Filed by Liberty Counsel in FL, Case 821-cv-02429 and 2. Filed in the District of Columbia the Law Office of Michael Yoder, Case 1:21-cv-02484. If anyone has more, I'd like to know about it so I can track them threw the...

Irish Quandary: Who to Blame When Everyone’s Vaxxed? No one seems curious about the prevalence of the disease in an almost fully vaccinated population.During his Thursday town hall meeting with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, President Joe Biden blithely dismissed the most basic assertion of those who have chosen to resist a COVID-19 vaccination. “Freedom? I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID,” scoffed Biden. “No, I mean come on — freedom.”In his literally mindless way, Biden said out loud what health officials everywhere have been implying since the vaccines became widely available. Those who are not vaccinated are killing...

CHICAGO — Thousands of Chicagoans scarfed down hot dogs in hopes of being named Vienna Beef’s Top Dog — but no one was quite as passionate as Stephanie Esposito. Esposito, of the Southwest Side, visited 367 hot dog stands in just five weeks to win Vienna Beef’s Hot Dog Stand Challenge.(snip) Esposito doesn’t know how many hot dogs she ate during the challenge — but, at 367 stands in just 35 days, she visited an average of more than 10 stands per day. She said she racked up an extra 9,000 miles on her car.(snip) By becoming Vienna Beef Top...

On Friday, resident Joe Biden is set to have an audience with Pope Francis in Vatican City. During this past Friday's press conference, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that "they will discuss working together on efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity, including ending the COVID-19 pandemic, tackling the climate crisis, and caring for the poor." Extending that "respect for fundamental human dignity" of the unborn is not mentioned there. While the president considers and is heralded by supporters and many in the mainstream media as a "devout Catholic," he is at deep odds with the Catholic...

Normally I will not focus on little fish like Baldwin, but this time it's important. Baldwin represents everything unAmerican. Baldwin has openly called for his political enemies be locked up without trial. Not just locked up, but tossed into dungeons (paraphrasing) for especially harsh treatment. Without trial. Let's face it, a lot of US Citizens are just not American. Baldwin wants our Constitution ripped apart and burned. Wildly anti-gun and characterizes us as stupid, criminal, reckless, for demanding we stick to the Constitution -- the same one will stick to attempt to see he receives a fair trial for the...

A man was enjoying the sun in his backyard in Windsor, southeast England when a passing plane dropped toilet waste over him and his garden furniture, a local councilor said during a recent meeting.

The Democrats Use Churches to Deliver Votes for McAuliffeKamala Harris’ video messages may be in violation of the Johnson Amendment.The Democrats like to keep faith out of politics even as they impose politics on faith. They are happy to harness the power of religion for their own political purposes. Their usually strict views on the “separation of church and state” don’t stop them from campaigning in churches. The most recent example of this Democratic hypocrisy comes from Virginia, where the normally secularist Terry McAullife is using a “souls to the polls” strategy to drum up votes for his gubernatorial run.The...

MY getting ordered out of the library today. *suddenly* masks are required to enter AGAIN. New rule because the hellhole of denver, colorado runs the library system.

The largest power generating company in India, NTPC Ltd, is looking for bids to import at least one million tons of coal for the first time in two years, ... NTPC aims to use the imported coal at power plants that are located far from India’s coal mines, as the energy crisis has depleted coal stocks in the country. The first tender in two years for overseas coal supply highlights the shortage of the fuel in India, where coal is the major power generating fuel, accounting for 70 percent of total electricity generation. Currently, more than 91 percent of the...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not issue a definitive answer about whether she will run for reelection in 2022 while she was being questioned during a Sunday morning interview. Pelosi, who was first elected to the House in 1986, was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if she is planning on running for her congressional seat, which encompasses most of San Francisco. “Oh, you think I’m going to make an announcement right here and now?” the House speaker said in response. When pressed again during the CNN interview, Pelosi stated: “Why would I tell you that now?” and...

The Soviets had the gulag, we have “cancel culture” in our universities and a brittle obsession with race and weirdo sexuality everywhere. Reflecting on Joe Biden’s disastrous “town hall” with Anderson Cooper on Thursday, The Spectator’s Dominic Green asks a question that has to weigh heavily on the mind of every American adult: “Is it more worrisome that Joe Biden might not be in charge, or that he actually is in charge?” I have long argued that allowing Biden to appear in public is a form of elder abuse, and I have speculated that he really is not in control...

Candace Owens is back again in headlines for her unwarranted two cents and this time, Alec Baldwin is the culprit.The conservative pundit let off a few poorly timed and inconsiderate tweets regarding the incident calling Baldwin’s deadly mistake “poetic justice” for his previous criticism of Donald Trump.

It’s just the flu, bro. Posted a reply to a thread recently about getting religious vaccine waivers. I don’t think I have ever put this information on any Flubros threads before but it is actually a topic in which I know something, as opposed to just having an opinion. I successfully received a religious vaccine waiver about 8 years ago as part of my green card process. This exempted me from all of the vaccines normally required for prospective immigrants to the USA. I had a top immigration lawyer with experience in these waivers help me prepare the document. I...

BOISE — On a quiet street south of downtown Boise, Michael Dick has festooned his front yard with homemade signs, including a large yellow placard that facetiously thanks President Biden for a growing list of grievances — $4-a-gallon gas, inflation, Afghanistan, covid-19. In capital letters in black marker, Dick, 59, recently added "dead civilians" and "dead U.S. soldiers" to his bill of particulars. In another part of town, alongside a “No trespassing” sign, Michael Schwarz, 60, used black spray-paint to scrawl “Joe Blows” across an electric-pink poster board. And that’s mild compared to the sentiments some people — largely in...

After the Atlanta Braves had the 2021 MLB All-Star Game moved out of their park due to a slate of restrictive voting laws in Georgia, it turns out that baseball's biggest event, the World Series, might end up in their backyard instead. The Braves defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4, on Tuesday to advance to the National League Championship Series (NLCS), where they'll face either the San Fransisco Giants or Los Angeles Dodgers. The winner of the NLCS will then advance to the World Series to play the champion of the American League, either the Boston Red Sox or Houston Astros....

America be lying. Although language purists will argue that the previous sentence is grammatically incorrect, it shows why African American Vernacular English (AAVE), is sometimes more accurate than Caucasian American Vernacular English (CAVE).
