On the same day that thousands of rockets rained down on innocent Israeli citizens, photos and videos emerged of people dancing in the street. This time, those images were not broadcast from Middle Eastern cities but instead filmed right here in the United States.The examples are well-known. A man in Boston holds up a phone showing a beheaded baby and makes an obscene hand gesture to the camera, recording his laughter. A hijab-wearing woman at a Democratic Socialists of America rally says she’s glad for the Hamas attack and does not consider herself an American. Students in Cooper Union lead...

There are many journalists, past and present, known for their anti-Israel animus. There was NBC’s Peter Jennings, who could always be counted on to suavely vilify the Jewish state. Few knew that his girlfriend for many years was the PLO propagandist Hanan Ashrawi. There is the long list of BBC journalists who report on Israel and the Palestinians, regarding the former with contumely and the latter with deep sympathy. These include John Simpson, Jeremy Bowen, Lyse Doucet, Orla Guerin, and Yolande Knell. There is Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, who deeply resents the fact that the Israelis so...

OPINION: One way to gauge the success of global warming activists is to count how many fossil-fuel-burning homes they collect. For some, the climate change industry has to be one of the most lucrative professions on Earth, which, by the way, is in danger of failing any year now unless we depopulate. Can you imagine the roundup? For others, it’s a way to take existing wealth and turn their dollars into political power. We’re in a hysteria lull right now between the tornado-summer heat-hurricane season and the winter rain and snow deluge, so let’s look at some of the biggies....

Got a question for my fellow FReepers. I saw a social media post from an uber-liberal I know. In it, she made mention that the Salvation Army kettle drive was under way. She reminded her friends that they should NOT give anything to the SA because they were ant-LGBTQ+. Now, I seem to recall that (I think it was two or maybe three years ago) there was huge hue and cry from FR that we should not give to the SA bell ringers because the SA was PRO-LGBTQ+, according to some handout to the bell-ringing volunteers. As for me, there...

There are comments on another forum insisting that with few exceptions, Republicans in Congress are doing their job concerning illegal immigration. Specifically, The Mitt Romneys, John McCains, POS Bushes. There are some. Not the majority. The Republican Party disapproves of illegal aliens. We had the lowest illegal alien rate of crossing during President Trump’s administration, the lowest in 40 years. Now we are at an all-time high again due to this Democrat administrations actions of allowing people to cross our border without merit. I've not responded because I'd like to get your perspective. I'm of the opinion that our GOPe...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that he has survived multiple Russian assassination attempts on his life and that there is an ongoing Kremlin plot to take him out before the end of the year. Speaking with Britain’s largest circulation newspaper, The Sun, Zelensky said that there have been at least “five or six” assassination plots against him by Moscow since the Russian invasion of his country last year that have been foiled by Ukrainian intelligence services. “The first one is very interesting, when it is the first time, and after that it is just like Covid. First of all people...

The attorney general for the state of Texas announced an investigation into the left-wing activist site Media Matters after tech billionaire Elon Musk filed what he called a "thermonuclear lawsuit" against the organization. Media Matters sought to pressure advertisers to abandon the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, based on their report claiming that their advertisements would appear next to "white nationalist hashtags." Musk vehemently denied the report and accused the organization of completely misrepresenting the "real user experience" on the website to deceive advertisers. Several companies announced that they would end their advertising campaigns on the platform, including IBM,...

The right-wing former 'tantric sex coach' who has been elected president of Argentina believes the Falkland Islands belong to his nation and has vowed 'to get them back'. Javier Milei, who uses a medium to communicate with his dead dog for advice on political matters, pulled off a massive upset by beating Argentina's Economy Minister Sergio Massa in Sunday's polarised presidential runoff. But during his presidential campaign, Milei insisted that Britain returning the Falkland Islands was 'non-negotiable', adding that the territory, known as the Malvinas in Argentina, is Argentine. Milei, a right-wing economist known as 'el Loco' - or the...

Black women of African descent were more likely to die of the medieval plague in London, academics at the Museum of London have found. The study is the first archaeological exploration showing how racism influenced a person's risk of death during what was known as the Great Pestilence or Great Mortality. The research is based on 145 individuals from three cemeteries. The outbreak is believed to have claimed the lives of 35,000 Londoners. Data on bone and dental changes of the 145 individuals from East Smithfield emergency plague cemetery, St Mary Graces and St Mary Spital formed the basis of...

Hunter Biden once admonished a Mexican business magnate for ignoring him after he set up multiple meetings with Joe Biden during his vice presidency. Hunter Biden emailed Miguel Aleman Magnani, grandson of a former Mexican president and former CEO of Interjet, in February 2016 expressing his displeasure at Magnani for ignoring him.

Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Monday became the second senator to call for a cease-fire in Gaza amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas militants. “I am calling for a ceasefire — a cessation of hostilities by both sides,” Merkley posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “To endure, the ceasefire and the following negotiations must accomplish other essential objectives, including the release of all hostages and a massive influx of humanitarian aid.” Merkley’s call comes after Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the second-highest ranking Democrat in the Senate, became the first senator to back a stop in...

X, formerly known as Twitter, sued Media Matters for America in federal court for defamation Monday. The social media site accuses the left-wing media watchdog of manufacturing images showing advertisements from major corporations alongside posts made by white supremacists and neo-Nazis in the 15-page complaint filed in the United States District court for the Northern District of Texas. Musk threatened to sue Media Matters in a Saturday post on X, following the group’s Thursday release of a report that prompted an exodus of advertisers, including Disney, Apple, Paramount and IBM. “Looking to portray X’s social networking platform as being dominated...

We have received full files of Richmond papers to Nov. 16, with the Memphis-Atlanta (Ga.) Appeal of Nov. 11, and extract the following interesting intelligence: From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 16. The Dispatch has thought it right, not with a view of satisfying our enemies, nor of stopping their slanders, (for that cannot be done,) but in order to vindicate the character of the Confederate Government in the eyes of its own people first, and of the civilized world afterward, so soon as our protests can reach it, to formally refute those horrible stories now so rife in the Yankee...

Russia’s bloodbath in Ukraine could spiral into World War III, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Sunday. He accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of “lighting fires” around the globe that risk spiraling out of control — and said the Oct. 7 attack carnage unleashed in Israel by Hamas terrorists October was a “really big wish” of Moscow’s. And he also accused the Kremlin of stirring up trouble in the Balkans.

Transgender women have been barred from playing in international women's matches under new regulations from the International Cricket Council. Any player who has gone through male puberty will not be eligible for women's internationals regardless of any surgery or treatment undertaken. In September, Canada's Danielle McGahey became the first transgender cricketer to play an international game. The new regulations will be reviewed within two years, the ICC said. Following a nine-month consultation process, the governing body said its new policy, which takes effect immediately, was based on "protection of the integrity of the women's game, safety, fairness and inclusion". "The...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg responded to a question on President Joe Biden’s poor poll numbers on the economy by stating that everything isn’t perfect, and “Americans have had a rough few years, especially when you think about COVID and what that did to our society and effects that we are still working through. You think about some of the political polarization that’s going on. We’re not out there saying that all of the work is done. We’re out there pointing to the good work that we’re doing.” Buttigieg said, “Well, a big part...
