Free Republic

One of my oft-repeated statements is that it’s not the Democrats’ fault that Trump was unable to achieve so many of his goals and then failed to retake the White House. Instead, it was the Republicans’ fault because so many constantly blocked him. That’s why it’s easy to believe what Tucker Carlson told his official biographer, which is that one of those Republicans could have been his own Vice President. It turns out that, during Tucker’s stint at CNN, he often interviewed Mike Pence. Tucker spoke about that experience during no-holds-barred conversations with Chadwick Moore, his official biographer. Jordan Schachtal,...

Ghislaine Maxwell groomed a 16-year-old autistic girl with mosaic Down syndrome, calling her 'beautiful darling' and comparing her to a 'doll' after receiving her from a trafficker, according to bombshell new court documents. The girl, who is not named, is in her 30s now. She is suing Leon Black, a 71-year-old billionaire and Epstein associate, claiming he sodomized her with sex toys in 2002 when she was just 16 at Epstein's home. He denies the allegations through his attorney. In court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the girl's attorneys describe in detail how she allegedly came into Epstein and Maxwell's sordid...

Russian fighter jet strikes another American drone over Syria in the sixth incident this month

The Nashville Christian school shooter Audrey Hale had mysterious handwritten notes on her clothes, a knife inscribed with her chosen name of Aiden and an anklet with the number 508407 etched on it, an autopsy report revealed. The report comes four months after the transgender shooter opened fire at The Covenant School - killing three adults and three children on March 27. The autopsy revealed Hale's clothing were covered in 'handwritten words, drawings and numbers'. It's unclear what was written on her clothes. The report also noted that Hale, 28, wore an orange plastic anklet with the mysterious inscription '508407.'...

Federal investigators, El Monte police and Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies arrested alleged members of the Quiet Village gang Wednesday, naming the group in a series of indictments that accuse them of conspiring to commit murder, other violent crimes and drug trafficking. The cases stem from the killing of two El Monte police officers last June during a confrontation at a motel with a member of the gang. Officers Michael Paredes and Joseph Santana were responding to a domestic violence report when Justin Flores — a documented member of the Quiet Village gang with multiple prior convictions — shot them...

The job of physicists is to worry about numbers, but one number has perplexed physicists for more than a century. That number is 0.00729735256—approximately 1/137. This is the fine-structure constant. It appears everywhere in the equations of quantum physics. The fine-structure constant, designated by the Greek letter alpha (α), is one of the many constants of nature that power our laws of physics, like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, or Planck’s constant. These constants can have different values depending upon which system of units are used to express them. For instance, the speed of light in vacuum is...

Sorry for the vanity; (and also sorry for the length of this). But I’ve gotten good advice from people here about household problems in the past; and now I have a couple more. 1. For the first time that I can remember, I have had an infestation of fruit flies. We think it may have come from a bag of potatoes, which is something we’ve never bought before – we usually just buy the few single potatoes that we are going to use immediately. We got rid of that bag, and every fresh thing – onions, tomatoes, whatever - that...

Jarod Lennis Broussard, 41, the man convicted of assaulting his girlfriend on August 21, 2022, was sentenced to forty years in a Texas prison. District Judge Richard Beacom sentenced Broussard for aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon/family violence. The Rockwall Police Department arrested Broussard on August 21, 2022, after his girlfriend escaped in the middle of the night from the home she shared with him. She ran from one house to another seeking help until a neighbor let her in and called 911. Though seriously injured, the victim was able to tell police that Broussard had...

I have media files stored on a PC running Windows 10 Pro and also available for storage on a PC or laptop running Linux Mint. Photos, music files, videos, PDF books, and other eBooks. I would like to be able to access those files and view/listen to them on an iPad. It sounds like this is possible, but I was wondering if anyone has suggested ways to do this, along with any pitfalls to watch out for.

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fish and fish oil supplements, appear promising for maintaining lung health, according to new evidence from a large, multi-faceted study in healthy adults. The study provides the strongest evidence to date of this association and underscores the importance of including omega-3 fatty acids in the diet, especially given that many Americans do not meet current guidelines. There's increased interest in trying to understand whether nutritional interventions could contribute to lung disease prevention efforts. Past studies have suggested that omega-3 fatty acids may help, due largely to their established anti-inflammatory actions. However, robust studies...

Whether enjoyed on its own or mixed into a latte, Americano or even a martini, espresso provides an ultra-concentrated jolt of caffeine to coffee lovers. But it might do more than just wake you up. Research shows that, in preliminary in vitro laboratory tests, espresso compounds can inhibit tau protein aggregation—a process that is believed to be involved in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Recent research has suggested that coffee could also have beneficial effects against certain neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Although the exact mechanisms that cause these conditions are still unclear, it's thought that a protein called tau...

Millions of men are abandoning the workforce at an alarming rate, according to analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Center. The data reveals that 71% of young men (aged 25 years old at the time of the study) held full-time jobs, down from 85% in 1980. A survey conducted by the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank found that 25% of young Americans were out of work, many of whom had been laid off during the pandemic and have since struggled to find the right job. Real earnings for men without college degrees has dropped 30% since the 1980s....

The Biden administration is considering a new set of tariffs on some steel imports that would increase food prices for consumers already reeling from the recent run of high inflation. The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission are considering a petition that would impose tariffs of up to 300 percent on tinplate steel, a key component in tin cans like those commonly used to pack food products including tuna, soup, baked beans, and more. If the administration decides to implement those tariffs on imports from eight countries, it would be a blatantly protectionist maneuver aimed at benefitting a single...

Such a striking voice, such a talented songwriter, such a troubled individual, Sinéad O’Connor is dead at the age of 56. O’Connor’s cause of death hasn’t been announced as I write these words but I reacted to the news with the same utter lack of surprise when George Michael died on Christmas Day, 2016. Apparently deeply unhappy, Michael had been casually working towards ending it all with a combination of drugs and anonymous sex. With her troubled history, it was my sad conclusion 30 years ago that O’Connor would not live a terribly long life. She hit the big time...

DC_Draino @DC_Draino Wow - Nearly 2/3 of American voters think cheating affected the 2020 election in new Rasmussen poll - 62%! “The Big Lie” is believing that Joe Biden got the most votes in US history The Big Truth is that the election was stolen from President Trump

Higher levels of vitamin B-related amino acids may be linked to the risk of dementia associated with a certain type of air pollutants called particulate matter, according to a study. Researchers looked at fine particulate matter, PM2.5, which consists of pollutant particles of less than 2.5 microns in diameter suspended in air. They also looked at two amino acids, methionine and homocysteine. Methionine is an essential amino acid found in foods such as meat, fish, dairy, beans and eggs. Homocysteine is an amino acid produced in the cells that can be transformed to methionine through a reaction that requires both...
