Free Republic

According to Jacksonville 4 News Governor Ron DeSantis spent last weekend “huddled behind closed doors at a south Florida luxury hotel for a “Freedom Blueprint” retreat with more than 100 donors, elected officials and conservative influencers.” According to the report from those present, “Laura Ingraham hosted a fireside chat with DeSantis on Sunday.” You would think this ongoing network and relationship would need a mention, perhaps even a disclaimer, if the Fox News pundit was going to follow up with additional promotion of the same candidate. Alas, as more people become familiar with the tactics of the professionally Republican, what...

Six US Air Force personnel were fired for failing to ensure the safety and security of the country’s nuclear stockpile. Two commanders and four subordinates were relieved of duty at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota after their units failed an inspection, according to CNN. The base houses strategic bombers and missile silos, two branches of America’s “nuclear triad” military structure. Both Commanders were part of the 5th Mission Support Group and the 5th Logistics Readiness Squadron. The news organisation says that the security inspection is a pass/fail test and that the results are classified. There is no suggestion...

This song is a Babylon Bee parody of the song “California Dreaming” by the Mamas and the Papas. Performed by the Bee Boys. Between 2020 and 2021, the once Golden State of California has lost over 300,000 legal residents. *Since 2010, about 7.5 million people moved from California to other states, while only 5.8 million people moved to California from other parts of the country. The only reason the population is not shrinking that much is because of immigration ( legal and illegal )* See here : https://ktla.com/news/california/californias-population-keeps-shrinking/

A few days ago, two Iranian warships, IRIS Makran and IRIS Dena, docked in Rio de Janeiro after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva’s government granted the necessary permissions. One was a destroyer equipped with a range of defense and attack systems. The docking of the warships sparked concern among the international community that has been trying to isolate the right-wing Iranian regime.

y Shasta County Supervisors to return to a hand counting system for paper ballots is getting national attention. This week, Supervisor Kevin Crye reported that he'd reached out to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. . KRCR asked Supervisor Crye about it and he says it was a simple request to ask Lindell if he was willing to pay for legal help should the county, or the supervisors, be sued over the hand counting pilot program that would include provisions for disabled voters. .

Yesterday’s inflation report (in the form on skyrocketing labor costs) helped lead Bankrate’s 30-year mortgage rate to over 7% … again. Here is yesterday’s horrible unit labor costs YoY chart showing the fastest growth in labor costs since 1982 and Fed Chair Paul Volcker. Jerome Powell, the current Fed Chair is trying to reduce the Bernanke/Yellen/Powell monetary stimulypto (with an extra dose of “sugar” from the Covid outbreak). The good news is that the 10-year Treasury yield is down -7.3 basis points this morning. Here is The Fed’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) trying to summon Paul Volcker to help them...

Despite even some Democrats criticizing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's response to the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment, the Washington Post chose to ignore that and focus in on Republicans who are "seizing" (formerly "pouncing") on the accident to attack poor Buttigieg. Reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb, Ian Duncan, and Justine McDaniel acted more as a Buttiegieg defense team than as journalists on Wednesday in "Republicans seize on train derailment to go after Buttigieg."

The University of California today announced $15M in grants for UC innovation and entrepreneurship in support of California’s climate action goals. The awards are part of a historic $185M partnership between UC and the state of California to tackle the climate crisis, from developing new methods for carbon capture to creating innovative coping strategies for drought, wildfire and other impacts of a warming planet.

Questions about why then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused President Trump's offer of National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are being raised – again – after a government report faulted a number of law enforcement agencies for allowing the riot to develop that day. Pelosi, and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer, refused Trump's offer of additional security that day – and hundreds of people rioted, some breaking into the Capitol to vandalize it and others walking past security guards who held doors open for them and taking selfies in the building. The trigger for the riot...

Thursday we reminded readers that electric vehicles are evil. Today, we provide another reason why they are the functional equivalent of an invasive species. In our “It’s Time To Admit It: EVs Are EVIL” editorial, we made the case that “EV owners, not those who drive internal-combustion engine cars, “are the ones responsible for raping the planet, poisoning entire communities, enriching genocidal tyrants, and creating a massive hazmat problem while doing nothing to stop ‘climate change.’” Moving on, we argue that EV owners, the policymakers forcing electric cars on the country and the nagging activists who support them will be...

The key to kinetic impact is that the push to the asteroid comes not only from colliding spacecraft, but also from the ejecta recoil. The authors conclude: "To serve as a proof-of-concept for the kinetic impactor technique of planetary defense, DART needed to demonstrate that an asteroid could be targeted during a high-speed encounter and that the target's orbit could be changed. DART has successfully done both."

In today's society, there's an endless cycle of perpetual victimization in the oppression Olympics regarding who can claim to be the most offended or aggrieved. This tiresome act was on full display recently during a school board meeting when one member of the board implied she was discriminated against for being Muslim because many people were confused by her statements that described the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima as "evil."Apparently, confusingly vague statements made by "woke" educators are yet another thing that is discriminatory in this country....Abrar Omeish, a Democrat and Fairfax County School Board member, made the...

When wildfire smoke blocked the sun and turned the sky orange above the San Francisco Bay Area in September 2020, Andra Yeghoian’s two young children, ages 3 and 5, were scared. And they had questions: What was going on? Was this normal? Yeghoian did her best to explain and to comfort them. “I can’t not talk about climate change with my kids,” she said. “It’s the same for teachers with their students.” Yeghoian is one of the lead authors of a new report — released Thursday and shared exclusively with The Times — exploring how K-12 schools can educate students...

U.S. support for demonstrations in Tel Aviv isn’t about the future of Israel’s judiciary. It’s about handcuffing Israel while Iran gets the bomb.Is the current Israeli government truly on the verge of an authoritarian turn? No, of course not. The mass protests and over-the-top rhetoric from Israel’s domestic opposition, Joe Biden’s warnings that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reform agenda will curtail minority rights, gleeful announcements by the U.S. ambassador about his right to interfere in domestic Israeli politics, group letters from 50 former commandos and 75 economists who all oppose judicial reform, the financing of Palestinian groups with terror links,...
