~ The FReeper Canteen Presents ~ ~ FReeper Canteen Salutes The Seabees ~ Remembering Our Troops!! ~ Navy Construction Battalion The Navy Construction Battalion – better known as the Seabees – is responsible for building much of the temporary and permanent infrastructure at U.S. military locations around the world. With roots dating back to World War II, the Seabees were formally established on March 5, 1942, to meet the Navy’s growing need to build bases, camps and other structures as part of the war effort.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Biden thinks he needs more downtime — despite the fact that he’s spent more than a quarter of his days in office at one of his Delaware homes. “I know the president doesn’t have public events today,” Psaki told reporters during her regular briefing. “He does have a number of meetings with policy teams and that’s often what he’s doing behind the scenes.”

IMO there are actually three parties in the USA : 1. Criminal Party (also known as Democrat): Massively corrupt at every level-Operates solely to benefit the 1% of members at highest level of The Party (multi-billionaire elitists and corporations).Rips off taxpayers. Promises free everything. Delivers nothing. Creates chaos and division among the public in order to hide its criminality.2. Accomplice Party (also known as Republican): Most members strive to assist , and cover up for, the Criminal Party (see above).These are also corrupt, rip off taxpayers, and make promises to voters they never keep.The differencence between the Accomplice Party and...

A Russia-led military alliance said Thursday that it will dispatch peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan after the country’s president asked for help in controlling protests that escalated into violence, including the seizure and setting afire of government buildings. Protesters in Kazakhstan’s largest city stormed the presidential residence and the mayor’s office Wednesday and set both on fire, according to news reports, as demonstrations sparked by a rise in fuel prices escalated sharply in the Central Asian nation. Police reportedly fired on some protesters at the residence in Almaty before fleeing. They have clashed repeatedly with demonstrators in recent days, deploying water...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that former President Donald Trump is the most dangerous leader America has ever had. Discussing President Joe Biden’s speech on January 6, host Joy Reid asked, “Is there a way, Claire, in your view to even get people in this Republican cult to even listen to what he’s going to say?”

Seattle police exchanged detailed fake radio transmissions about a nonexistent group of menacing right-wing extremists at a crucial moment during 2020 racial justice protests, an investigation by the city’s police watchdog group shows. The radio chatter about members of the Proud Boys marching around downtown Seattle, some possibly carrying guns, and then heading to confront protesters on Capitol Hill was an improper “ruse,” or dishonest ploy, that exacerbated a volatile situation, The Seattle Times reported. That’s according to findings released Wednesday by the city’s Office of Police Accountability (OPA). The Proud Boys is a far-right extremist group with a reputation...

The Chrysler brand is ditching gas engines and going to an all-electric lineup. And Japan’s Sony Group Corp. plans to jump into the electric-vehicle fray, creating its own car unit. Stellantis said in July that it plans to spend more than $35.5 billion through 2025 to release an array of new plug-in models. Ford has said it would spend $30 billion on electric vehicles through 2025. GM has said it plans to spend $35 billion by the middle of the decade to introduce 30 plug-in models globally and has set a 2035 target date for phasing out gasoline- and diesel-powered...

The two conservative members of Congress are set to hold “a Republican response on the anniversary of the January 6th protests” on Thursday afternoon, according to a release from Gaetz’s office. Trump, who was slated to hold a news conference at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., on Thursday, announced on Tuesday he would be canceling it, criticizing...

Big Tech censorship has ratcheted up over the last week: big time. In the name of combating COVID-19 “misinformation,” Twitter banned the accounts of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dr. Robert Malone. Meanwhile, Facebook banned the advertising account for a children’s book series promoting ‘Heroes of Liberty’ like free-market economist Thomas Sowell. (Facebook has reversed the decision under massive backlash. You can buy the books for your kids here). I spoke with Senator Rand Paul, a libertarian-leaning Kentucky Republican, about why this alarming uptick in Big Tech censorship is so concerning—and why the free market, not Big Government, is the...

As omicron’s spread outpaces an overwhelming demand for COVID-19 tests, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has a solution that contradicts advice from myriad public health experts: test fewer people. In a Monday news briefing, the surgeon general took aim at mass testing and said the Florida Department of Health will soon recommend people forgo testing unless it will be what he labels “high-value.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently recommends people get tested if they have symptoms, have had close contact with someone with COVID-19, or if they are not fully vaccinated. Some federal vaccination mandates require weekly...

A slew of young women have taken to TikTok to reveal how they benefit from being really, really, really good-looking. The content creators have shared videos discussing their “pretty privilege,” saying they’re showered with free gifts and attention simply for being conventionally attractive.

Cadillac debuted its InnerSpace autonomous car concept at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in a short film that is as dramatic as the two-seater luxury vehicle. InnerSpace is designed with a cocoon-like cabin that immerses passengers sitting in a loveseat, who are watching a panoramic screen that stretches across the front. The curved display allows passengers to select from Augmented Reality Engagement, Entertainment and Wellness Recovery themes for their drive. Cadillac announced InnerSpace in a cinematic-like teaser, complete with sensational music and effects, about a wealthy couple exploring the world while traveling in the autonomous vehicle. GM, which owns Cadillac,...

With over 1,200 daily COVID deaths for many weeks, the U.S. is on track to reach a total of 1 million COVID-related deaths by the end of March. A shameful record for 2022.To think that every week over 8,000 Americans are dying, mostly in hospital ICUs, is unbelievable – but that is no excuse for the lack of serious attention by the mainstream media. Take a moment to reflect that this is more deaths than those in the 9/11 attacks and Pearl Harbor, combined. And it is happening every week.Hospitals have become killing machines, places where the kiss of death...

In a Wednesday op-ed for Politico, invoking the media’s obsession with January 6, Brooklyn College political science professor Corey Robin flashed just how little he understood about how and why America’s founders set up the system of government they did. Or perhaps the goal was to just undo that great architecture and supplant it with something inferior. You know how irked Robin is with our system of government right away just by reading the title: "Republicans Are Moving Rapidly to Cement Minority Rule. Blame the Constitution." And since this is January 6 week where it is mandatory for all liberals...

An investigation spanning over a year has revealed that several Seattle police officers participated in a coordinated misinformation effort during the height of social justice protests in 2020. The ruse — which took place on June 8, 2020 — was first pointed out on social media by activist Matt Watson, when police officers were heard using radio transmissions to describe the movements of a group of right-wing Proud Boys protesters. Officers over the radio described how the group was marching through Seattle, appeared to be armed and agitated, and was moving in the direction of the then-newly-established Capitol Hill Occupied...
