re Nasrallah, the Saudi channel al-Haddad reported last night that 200 Hezbollah members are expected to join the Russian army's fighting in Ukraine in the coming days. It was claimed that the organization would receive Russian weapons in return. The reliability of the report is unclear and the desire to embarrass Nasrallah in front of the Lebanese public is evident.

I have a general questions for freepers who might be knowledgeable about electronics and such things. I have a CyberPower UPS that I run my desktop and monitor through. It seems to work OK when I actually lose power here. However, we apparently get overvolts occasionally. When that happens the UPS just drops power and turns off. Obviously, this is a less than ideal situation. I have to physically power it back on before I can restart my desktop. Kinda defeats the whole idea of having a UPS. The reason I suspect an overvolt situation, is because the UPS has...

When politicians in Washington D.C. planned to infuse the economy with trillions of dollars in Wuhan coronavirus "relief funds," fiscal conservatives warned about the inevitability of widespread fraud and abuse. Once again, they were correct. A new report from the Associated Press shows "pandemic relief" money, earned by hard working taxpayers, was used for over-the-top vacations, parties and other completely unrelated expenditures.

It's kind of fun watching democrats absolutely boil at the GOP questioning of Ketanji Jackson-Brown. It had everything you could ask for. Ted Cruz was pounding Dick Durbin. Cory Booker cried (again). Given the amount of democrat panties getting in a twist you'd think they never treated Brett Kavanagh like sh*t. But they did. But let's be honest here. She is going to be confirmed. She is a left wing radical. She will be a voice for criminals wjile caring little for victims. She really has no interest in the Constitution. She has no place on the Supreme Court. Ketanji...
