The advisory initially covered 23 Metro Detroit communities Saturday morning, but was updated to include only 13 by Saturday afternoon. The advisory was lifted for the following communities: Clinton Township, Flint, Flint Township, Rochester Hills, Pontiac, Auburn Hills, Orion Township, Utica, Troy, Sterling Heights and Lapeer. Officials say that crews have identified the location of a leak on a 120-inch water transmission main that distributes finished drinking water from a Lake Huron water treatment facility. According to Great Lakes Water Authority, an estimated 935,000 people were impacted as of Saturday morning. Officials are investigating the cause of the water main...

[Catholic Caucus] Coincidences? I think not.I recently wrote:I am convinced that one of the reasons certain bishops and priests seem determined to suppress the TLM and isolate, marginalize the people who want it is because the TLM unsettles, disturbs, annoys, irritates, needles, vexes clerics involved in one of the sins that cries to heaven.[…]The first thing you would have to do is change the way people worship. Change how they pray, and over time over time you change what they believe. In the Vetus Ordo the changers perceive an obstacle to changing the Church’s doctrines, especially in the sphere of...

"Communism is neither a trend of thought, nor a doctrine (but) an evil specter forged by hate, degeneracy, and other elemental forces (spirits) in the universe. In another dimension, not visible to us, it took the form of a serpent, then..a red dragon...it keeps company with Satan, who hates God. It exploits low-level beings and demons to wreak havoc on humankind. The goal of the specter is to ruin humanity." (How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World, The Epoch Times, Preface xxii)

BANGOR, ME — Stephen King fans have long been perplexed as to how the man who wrote The Shining, the Dark Tower series, and Misery could possibly be the same guy who logs onto Twitter and tweets like a 7-year-old chimpanzee with anger issues. Well, you can consider this mystery solved: the King estate confirmed today that the famed author actually died when he got hit by that van back in 1999, and they've just been releasing manuscripts they found stuffed in his dresser drawer since then. But what about the insane rants posted on his Twitter account? Enter this...

Explanation: Mimas, small 400 kilometer-diameter moon of Saturn, is host to 130 kilometer-diameter Herschel crater, one of the larger impact craters in the entire Solar System. The robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn in 2010 recorded this startling view of small moon and big crater while making a 10,000-kilometer record close pass by the diminutive icy world. Shown in contrast-enhanced false color, the image data reveal more clearly that Herschel's landscape is colored slightly differently from heavily cratered terrain nearby. The color difference could yield surface composition clues to the violent history of Mimas. Of course, an impact on Mimas any...

The surge in gun crimes in Minneapolis is claiming Black victims at a vastly disproportionate rate to the city's demographics.Last year, police counted one Black shooting victim for every 150 Black residents in Minneapolis, compared to one white victim for every 3,768 white residents, according to data presented to the City Council this week. White people comprise about 60% of Minneapolis' population, versus 19% Black or African people, according to census data. Yet only 9% of shooting victims are white so far in 2022, compared to 83% Black, the data from Minneapolis police show. Two-thirds of the victims are also...

Even those who won Vermont’s Republican primary elections on Tuesday say they’re baffled by the results. In the race for U.S. Senate, GOP voters rejected former U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan, a moderate and institutional favorite, for Gerald Malloy, a Trump-aligned conservative. They nominated Sen. Joe Benning, an anti-Trump centrist, for lieutenant governor, intead of Gregory Thayer, who took part in the protests before the January 6 riots in Washington, D.C. And they turned down two conservative activists, Ericka Redic and Anya Tynio, in favor of a left-leaning independent, Liam Madden. “It's a head-scratcher to me,” Madden said of finding himself...

BABYLON BEE HEADQUARTERS — We here at the Babylon Bee have been deeply saddened over the past days to see such mean-spirited criticism of our favorite institution of American government, the dearly beloved Federal Bureau of Investigation. While seeing agents storm the home of President Trump may give some cause for concern, we feel that the FBI has earned our trust. When they gave up figuring out a motive for the Vegas shooter, the FBI was honest about it. When they were too busy to help gymnasts being sexually assaulted, they were honest about it and hung up the phone....

The world is on fire and our globalists overlords like it that way…they created it. Ukraine is burning, Taiwan is on the block, and the Middle East is about to blow. Ukrainians are dying by the truckload, daily. President Zelenskiy of Ukraine is not working for the Ukrainian people…no…he is working for the same people Obama and Biden are working for — the Fourth Reich. Zelenskiy pushed for, and enabled the war. He could have prevented it, but he didn’t. OBiden could have prevented it, but he didn’t. Putin was only too happy to oblige when OBiden opened the door,...

"And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him." "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left."

I saw 2000 Mules and was very impressed by it. So I had really big expectations for this event today considering how much they hyped it. Since I can't find anything on it, I assume it wasn't anything ground shattering revealed today. What did they say?

Why has the Abe murder vanished from the news? One of the most important stories certainly of the year if not the decade it is treated like a low level crime story. Abe was truly the best and most powerful friend the US had in Japan and the westpac region. His murder is virtually on a JFK level of importance. However, the media have it seems been given the word to send the event and its possible Chinese connection down the memory hole just like the destruction of Notre Dame de Paris.

OK, its been a little over 21 months. On 2020 election day we got home after voting. In an hour or two I had a premonition that Trump was not going to be allowed to win. I told the family that I am going to disconnect myself from all news on TV, radio, internet and anything else including FR of which I've been a member forever. Given the results I'm sure FR went beserk that day. My first 2 years in the Air Force I did statistics. Some years ago I thought....... if a program had all the election data...

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission against the City Clerk of Racine for its use of mobile sites in the latest primary. This is the same primary that Robin Voss squeaked out a win by only 260 votes. We reported that last week Wisconsin’s corrupted Speaker Robin Vos won the primary in his district by only 260 votes. Email Racine, Wisconsin Used Illegal Mobile Voting Sites in Recent Primary – Same District Where Corrupt GOP Speaker Robin Vos Pulled a 260 Vote Win By Joe Hoft Published August 13, 2022 at...

Sorry for the vanity here, and I know this is a minor issue that can be dealt with, but I'm curious if other FReepers are encountering the same issue. Following the raid on Trump's personal home I sent him, and a number of other Trump candidates, a political contribution. And yes, I also contributed to FR, as I do every quarter. But holy cow. Since making those contributions I am now getting an email from Trump, or someone associated with his campaign, about every twenty or thirty minutes. I am not exaggerating. About three to four emails every single waking...

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced this week that officers in county schools will carry long guns and will be prepared to “meet violence with violence” and win the day. Florida Today quoted Ivey saying, “You are not coming into my schools and killing our children.” He noted, “I firmly believe that if you do not meet violence with violence, you will be violently killed.” Ivey posted a video to Facebook in which he announced that officers will have long guns on their persons, in order to save time that would have been wasted running to a squad car to...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL's) National Ignition Facility (NIF) recorded the first case of ignition on August 8, 2021, the results of which have now been published in three peer-reviewed papers. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun and other stars: heavy hydrogen atoms collide with enough force that they fuse together to form a helium atom, releasing large amounts of energy as a by-product. Once the hydrogen plasma "ignites", the fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining, with the fusions themselves producing enough power to maintain the temperature without external heating. Ignition during a fusion reaction essentially means...
