Hey, Freepers, tired of waiting for the next official release of a scanty few number of official Webb Telescope images from NASA? You don't have to wait. You can learn how to do it yourself; that is, how to create finished images from the raw data that are pouring out of NASA, hour by hour, as we speak. Then you, and we, won't have to wait another week for a paltry few number of official jaw-dropping images. Here's a comment I found on Reddit that'll help you understand what is going on so you can get started. "It's complicated, because...

Gun control was yet again a key focus on Capitol Hill Wednesday when the Senate Judiciary Committee debated mass shootings and the House Judiciary marked up an assault weapons ban for the first time in two decades. The Democratic-controlled House panel debated legislation that would ban certain assault-style rifles like the ones used in a recent spate of mass shootings while their Republican colleagues argued doing so would make communities less safe by leaving law-abiding citizens unarmed in dangerous situations. The House Judiciary is also debating a second bill that would lift immunity for gun manufacturers, allowing them to be...

Del. Dan Cox might have won the GOP nomination in the Maryland governor's race, but come November he will not have the support of the man he hopes to succeed. Cox, a far-right lawmaker endorsed by former President Donald Trump, prevailed in Tuesday's primary over Kelly Schulz, a fellow Republican and former Maryland Commerce Secretary who had the backing of outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan. The result marks the end of a contentious campaign that the Associated Press described as a clash over the fate of the Republican Party, pitting two distinctly different factions of the GOP against one another. But...

And then there was the book All the President’s Men by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the two Washington Post reporters who’d supposedly brought Nixon down. When it came out in 1974, I read it avidly. And two years later I was enthralled by the movie version, written by William Goldman and directed by Alan J. Pakula. But there was one thing - in the book and the movie - that always puzzled me. I’ll describe it as it’s presented in the film. Woodward (Robert Redford) meets late at night in a parking garage with his secret source, known as...

A recent doorbell video recording (part 1 here) from a Delaware resident prompted a Republican lawmaker to question why agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives asked a legal firearm owner for his weapons’ serial numbers without a warrant. The video (part 2 here), first posted and reported by Armed American News, shows ATF agents and state troopers on July 12 demanding a homeowner turn over the serial numbers of firearms he recently purchased. “I’m extremely concerned by the reports of a surprise and unwarranted firearms inspection conducted by the ATF. This incident occurred the same day...

A business owner in Fort Pierce, Florida, has been driving officials in the coastal town bonkers with his weekly messages on the marquee of his diner, Sweeties. Irreverent at times, often rude and always a woke warrior's worst enemy, the messages routinely take aim at the chief of police and the mayor. And Sweeties, partly owned by 63-year-old Rick Reed, happens to be at the highest-traffic corner of the city. It's a forced passage for thousands of motorists to I-95, the area's transportation lifeline. Last week's sign reads: 'What do you call a lesbian dinosaur? Lickalotofp***' While borderline homophobic and...

It is not only the DNR and LNR, it is also the Kherson region, the Zaporizhzhia region and a number of other territories,” he said and explained that this change was due to “weapons that will pose a direct threat to our territory and the territory of those [eastern Ukrainian] republics that have announced their independence.” FM Lavrov added: “If Western countries supply long-range weapons to Ukraine, [these goals] will move even further.” The Russian...

VIDEOAfter the "star witness" of the January 6 Committee imploded due to her second hand hearsay testimony being contradicted by first hand accounts of Secret Service agents, the viewership of the January 6 Committee hearings plummeted. Too bad because due to the fact that those hearing have so few viewers, almost everybody missed it when some very unwanted voices intruded upon the hearings. Listen closely and you will hear those voices.

The German government admits hundreds of thousands of people have had severe side effects following mRNA shots The risk-benefit of the Covid vaccines is getting worse and worse and worse This morning, the German Federal Ministry of Health posted a stunning tweet, admitting that 1 out of every 5,000 Covid jabs cause “serious side effects.” This figure is likely a sharp underestimate, given the fact that side effect reporting systems for drugs and vaccines are largely voluntary. Nonetheless, it implies that almost 300,000 Americans and Europeans have suffered severe side effects after receiving mRNA shots from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. (It...
