Carving the turkey for Thanksgiving is a true honor for any man, and should be taken extremely seriously. Assuming you have no backup turkey, you have one opportunity to slice and carve it just perfectly, or your reputation with your family with be tainted forever. What better way to ensure you carve your Thanksgiving turkey properly and in the most manly way possible than with a chainsaw carving tool? The electric chainsaw turkey carving tool looks and acts like a real chainsaw, except it won’t actually cut wood, and it’s a much smaller version of its larger counterpart. Though a...

Following the departures of Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes from Fox News, a new report says the network has seen a significant level of an internal dispute over the conspiracy theories espoused by Tucker Carlson. New York Times media columnist Ben Smith reported on Sunday that Goldberg and Hayes walked out because of Patriot Purge, Carlson’s 3-part Fox Nation docuseries about the storming of the U.S. Capitol. Fact-checkers and media commentators have been tearing Patriot Purge to shreds for boosting known propagandists and advancing unsubstantiated claims about January 6th. NPR’s David Folkenflik reported on this development new details that had...

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in his maiden speech to Parliament that Australia is not a secular country but a free country. If only that were true. Australia is Terra Nullius, a place where personal identity is lost in mindless conformity to a stifling loss of freedom. Except, occasionally, on the weekends. I appear to have been banned by a group which calls itself a freedom movement for invoking God and talking about God too often for them. I would estimate that God was central to about a quarter of the very short speeches I gave at that movement...

Warmer-than-average conditions are most likely across the Southern tier of the U.S. and much of the Eastern U.S. with the greatest likelihood of above-average temperatures in the Southeast. Below-average temperatures are favored for southeast Alaska and the Pacific Northwest eastward to the northern Plains. The Upper Mississippi Valley and small areas of the Great Lakes have equal chances for below-, near- or above-average temperatures. ..wetter-than-average conditions are most likely in parts of the North, primarily in the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and western Alaska. Drier-than-average conditions are favored in south-central Alaska, southern California, the Southwest, and...

Democrats’ successive losses over the past two legislative cycles have all but obliterated the party’s hold over the Jersey Shore. Starting on Jan. 11, only one Democrat, Sen. Vin Gopal, will represent the coastal region south of Sayreville in the Legislature, and even he finds himself on a precarious perch amid Republican enthusiasm that could further imperil Gopal, a former Monmouth County Democratic chairman whose running mates lost re-election on Nov. 2. “The party itself has to look a lot and see how they’re doing things differently. A win is a win, but Democrats should not be celebrating,” Gopal told...

Dems don’t have too many cards left to play these days, just their two obsessions.Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal is a dramatic affirmation of the right to self-defense and a huge blow to the gun control movement. This drama is a long way from over. If people such as Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and BLM activist Troy Gaston have their way, the Justice Department will try to charge Rittenhouse under federal civil rights law. At the same time, Rittenhouse will, almost certainly, sue those in the media (CNN and the Washington Post, among others) and President Biden for libel and slander. And...

For those that missed the posting, Carlo Morelli passed away January 10 2021. I thought that I would post a thread that links to many of the great Thanksgiving and Christmas threads posted through the years by many FReepers.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20 KJV I have been in the midst of unloading a burden, and sending out a warning of wrongdoing, in these recent posts: Sexual MOLESTATION–The Secret CRIME When All Goes SILENT (After Disclosing SEXUAL CRIME) After these disclosures, it’s apparent that the Christian minister who molested me and encouraged me to continue in this sin with him for a period of YEARS has shown no real remorse–just a bunch of excuses...

A left-wing social justice activist responded to the horrific tragedy at a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin by sardonically commenting “poor white people” and joking that the murderer acted in “self-defense” against the crowd. Yes, really. At least five people were killed and dozens more injured after a suspect allegedly identified as as Darrell Edward Brooks Jr, a 39-year-old black male with a long criminal history, ploughed through victims while driving a speeding red SUV. Some of the victims included a dance team of girls aged between 9 and 15 years old. Footage of the attack in downtown Waukesha during...

Some U.S. Navy sailors have been forced to take out loans after being shorted on pay, reports Military.com. The sailors earned increases in housing allowances after getting married or relocating somewhere where the cost of living is higher. The loans are meant to help these service members make ends meet. Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Vice President Gillian Gonzalez in an interview with Military.com said the issue is happening everywhere, and that geography does not have much to do with it. He also said the group has seen an increase in loan applications from sailors but did not have an exact...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday announced that all new homes and buildings in England will be required to have electric car chargers installed beginning next year. The legislation, which Johnson announced at the annual Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference, will install up to 145,000 extra charging points throughout Europe every year, according to a statement from the prime minister’s office. The requirement will also apply to buildings undergoing renovation. Facilities that are left with more than 10 parking spaces will be compelled to install electric vehicle charging points.

Angels Over America. When my mother was divorcing my father she was moving on to another marriage. Her five children were in her way and once when we came home from school during a New England winter we found ourselves locked out of the house and our mother was nowhere to be found. As it got dark we were so cold and alone. I held my baby brother to my chest to keep him warm but he was not moving. I looked up to the night sky and thought of how in the old church with the tall steeple every...

VERO BEACH, FL – Most Americans have probably never heard the name Andrew Coffee IV, or if they have, they likely haven’t heard it mentioned during the entirety of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Tired of the ads? Go Ad-Free and Get EXCLUSIVE Content From Stew Peters and the RVM Team, Become a PREMIUM USER Which really makes no sense, because both Coffee and Rittenhouse were on trial for murder. Both were acquitted. Further, both were acquitted on the SAME DAY. So why did the Rittenhouse trial get nonstop media attention, and hardly anyone outside of the courtroom even knew of...

Tens of thousands of women worldwide have reported changes in menstruation after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, raising question marks among doctors and scientists. Complaints have included changes to the duration and flow of their periods, and even pain, according to several surveys, but most doctors have stressed that there is just not enough evidence to directly link the jab to these changes. Moreover, they say, the changes are short-term and there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination adversely affects fertility. “We think that it is plausible there is a connection, but cannot prove this correlation,” said Dr. Itamar Netzer, an...

So just how much of a magnetic field would be needed to protect Mars and the humans that might someday live on it? Surprisingly, the team writes that the force needed to deflect say, solar wind, is about the same as a regular fridge magnet. But they’d need to generate it over the entire planet, a substantial challenge. The scientists suggested a few ways to pull it off. These include restarting and circulating Mars’ iron core, creating a continuous solid loop or loop of solid-state magnets, or using a chain of coupled sources with a controlled beam or a plasma...

Who is Ray Epps and why hasn't he been charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol? There are multiple videos that show the Arizona man apparently planning the march and advocating for protesters to breach the Capitol, yet there's no evidence that he ever entered the Capitol building. Last week, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky) questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about Epps' role in the Capitol riot during a House oversight hearing. Massie played a video that appears to show Epps provoking protesters to go into the Capitol building and asked if there were "federal agents or assets...

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden turned 79 last week. He’s beginning to look his age. The president walks a little more stiffly now. His diction, once clear, sometimes sounds a little blurry. His syntax has always been ragged; that hasn’t changed. Like most of us, he gets tired at the end of a long day. At the U.N. climate summit in Scotland, he took his seat in the conference hall to hear the opening speeches and promptly appeared to doze off. None of this appears to be clearly affecting his job. Last week he signed a $1-trillion infrastructure bill, a feat...

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Two onetime outsiders hailing from opposite extremes of the political spectrum received the most votes Sunday in Chile’s presidential election but failed to garner enough support for an outright win, setting up a polarizing runoff in the region’s most advanced economy.

President Joe Biden plans to blame businesses for raising prices and higher inflation this week, as his poll numbers continue to plunge. The president has scheduled a speech on the economy and “lowering prices for the American people” at the White House on Tuesday, before he leaves for his Thanksgiving vacation in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

ALEC BALDWIN is in the crosshairs over the fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins — and The National ENQUIRER can reveal the actor failed a lie detector test and may be covering up what he really knows about the tragedy! Baldwin, 63, fled New Mexico after firing a live bullet while rehearsing a scene for the low-budget Western, killing Halyna and injuring director Joel Souza. But anyone involved in the shooting, including Baldwin, the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and assistant director Dave Halls, could face charges, according to investigators. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza noted: “I wouldn’t call...
