There's no doubt that things can get physical in the WNBA, and Caitlin Clark can be the first one to attest to that. In her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, she's hit the floor several times, and some have come as flagrant fouls against the opposing teams. An interesting stat came up on a Caitlin Clark stats page on X, formerly Twitter, that could shock some people who watch her. “Interesting stat: 17% of the WNBA’s flagrant fouls this season have been committed against Caitlin Clark. The Chicago Sky were responsible for 80% of the flagrants committed against Clark,”...

The FReeper Canteen Presents...Happy Labor Day! September 2, 2024 HISTORYLabor Day is a national legal holiday that is over 100 years old. Over the years, it has evolved from a purely labor union celebration into a general "last fling of summer" festival. It grew out of a celebration and parade in honor of the working class by the Knights of Labor in 1882 in New York. In 1884, the Knights held a large parade in New York City celebrating the working class. The parade was held on the first Monday in September. The Knights passed a resolution to hold all...

Long-snapper Taybor Pepper was shocked and dismayed that he was attacked on social media over the weekend after posting a comment expressing relief that Ricky Pearsall was OK after being shot during an attempted robbery attempt on the 49ers rookie. “Cannot believe I had to mute replies to my last tweet,” Pepper posted to social media following an early message of support for his teammate. Pearsall was shot when a 17-year-old attempted to rob him of his Rolex using a gun and the rookie fought back, leading to multiple shots going off one of which struck him in the chest....

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been undermining conservative demands to include the SAVE Act in the upcoming short-term spending bill. The SAVE Act proposes an amendment to the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 that would enact stricter voting regulations, including requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Supporters argue that this legislation is critical to restoring election integrity and should be a top priority for conservatives, especially with the election approaching. However, McConnell’s team has recently indicated that GOP conservatives should abandon the SAVE Act to avert a government shutdown just before the...

Today’s Sermon builds on the Gospel of the Pharisees accusations that Jesus’ Disciples are not following the ritual dietary laws. He teaches us in scripture that the sin that defiles our being, comes from within- from our hearts.. and from anything that is exterior to us.14 min.

[T]he sailboat – a 47-foot French-flagged vessel named Albroc – and a mayday call was received from a 47-year-old woman aboard the boat who stated that she, her 7-year-old daughter and their pets needed to be rescued. She also reported there was a deceased man onboard... “With seas greater than 25 feet forecast within 12 hours of their position and the damaged condition of the [sailboat], the William P. Lawrence had a six-hour window to safely conduct small boat recovery operations,” USCG said. Eventually – and in spite of 10-foot seas and 15 mile per hour winds – a small...

More than 10,000 hotel workers at 24 hotels stretching from Boston to the West Coast to Hawaii went on strike early Sunday morning, disrupting travel during a busy Labor Day weekend. The hotels are reportedly still open but guests will deal with a skeleton staff unable to provide full services. UNITE HERE, the union representing the striking workers, says they are striking not just for better pay but also better working conditions, including the return of automatic daily room cleaning that many hotels dropped during the pandemic. “We’re on strike because the hotel industry has gotten off track,” Gwen Mills,...

Following the Vice President's widely criticized pre-taped interview with CNN, reports circulated that the Democrats were considering replacing Kamala Harris with the more coherent Joe Biden. Harris's joint interview with running mate Tim Walz was met with poor reviews, with top Democratic officials citing Harris' inability to provide cogent answers or communicate like a person as reasons why the party should turn to the clarity and coherence of Joe Biden. "It may be time to consider a more mentally fit candidate," said one high-ranking Democrat who asked to remain anonymous. "We gave Kamala the good ol' college try, but she...

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are rallying behind her campaign despite admitting that they can’t say where she stands on most big issues – as the Democratic nominee continues to flip-flop on major policies. Harris, 59, has reversed her stances on energy issues, health care and illegal immigration since replacing President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, in an apparent effort to make herself more electable to moderates in key swing states. Harris’ abandoned policy positions include her pledges to eliminate private health insurance, decriminalize illegal border crossings, ban fracking for oil and natural gas, and ban...

Aurora, Colorado, officials are asking the courts to let them evict Venezuelan migrant gangs from apartment buildings, even as Democrat Gov. Jared Polis keeps dismissing video reports of gang takeovers. Only two days ago, Polis and his spokespeople were telling Americans to ignore their lying eyes concerning video of armed migrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and forcing citizens to turn their rent money over to the gang.

Q. When is a flip-flop not a flip-flop? A. When it's a Democrat who's gone flipped like Simone Biles, and a liberal-media member is defending it! On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, MSNBC political analyst Kimberly Atkins Stohr insisted Kamala's "quote-unquote" [see air quotes in screencap] policy changes were not a "shift." It was just "pragmatism."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, walked away Sunday after being asked by a reporter what his “reaction” was to the news that the bodies of six Israeli hostages had been discovered in a Hamas tunnel underneath Gaza, including one American citizen. While at the Minnesota State Fair, Walz was asked “how much” had changed since the “last state fair,” and how Walz was “balancing managing” his role as governor and running for vice president.

Vice presidential candidate JD Vance said it is time to end the practice of sanctuary cities as Aurora, Colorado is grappling with crime from a Venezuelan gang. "If we don't have a border, we do not have a real country… Kamala Harris has allowed us to import the business of the drug cartels into our own communities, and Americans are suffering because of it," Vance said on "Fox & Friends" Friday. Vance is calling for the end of sanctuary cities and states, after migrant gangs reportedly took over an apartment complex outside Denver. "If you've got illegal immigrants in your...

Jack Kemp once said that liberals "measure compassion by how many people they're helping; we measure compassion by how many people no longer need our help." In my many years of life, especially my years as a minister and a practitioner, I understand that the latter is the better measure. Here's the problem, though. If your measure is how many people you're helping, what happens when people no longer need your help? What do you do? There are fewer people to help, so by your own measure, you're less compassionate. Clearly, we need more people in need. Eventually, as the...

The PCR test is responsible for more deaths than any test in history. It has been the weapon of choice for those determined to create fear, to justify pointless and damaging lockdowns, harmful and futile mask wearing and toxic and useless vaccinations.“Anyone who has ever used the PCR test as a diagnostic aid is a criminal and should be regarded as such,” Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.The late Kary Mullis invented the polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) test in 1984-1985 for research purposes to amplify specific DNA or RNA sequences for genetic analysis. It is a DNA amplification technique, not a diagnostic...

NBC News’ Meet the Press admitted Sunday that anchor Kristen Welker had been incorrect to say that Vice President Kamala Harris had met the families of Americans killed in Afghanistan — though it also botched the correction. In an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Welker challenged the Republican over former President Donald Trump’s visit last week to Arlington National Cemetery to pay his respects to the 13 fallen American soldiers on the third anniversary of the terror attack on Abbey Gate at the international airport in Kabul. The Harris/Walz campaign accused Trump of politicizing the memorial, amid controversy over...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “worried” about the mass anti-government protests sweeping the country, CNN cites an unnamed Israeli official as saying. Even as there are no official numbers from police the Crowd Solutions firms estimates that some 280,000 people participated in this evening’s demonstration in central Tel Aviv, in what would be the largest rally in almost 18 months. Organizers have estimated that 300,000 people gathered in Tel Aviv and an additional 200,000 took part in other protests across the country.

Remdesivir is described as a “broad spectrum antiviral drug.” It is an RNA polymerase inhibitor which disrupts the production of vital RNA. It is said to prevent the multiplication of SARS-CoV-2. Remdesivir was introduced for the treatment of covid-19 patients who were in hospital suffering from covid-19, with or without pneumonia. It is still being widely used. I have been researching and writing about drugs since 1970 and I am appalled at the way that it now appears that in some countries some hospitals and doctors (and even nurses) are now routinely giving remdesivir to patients – particularly elderly patients...

A new TikTok trend has people posting their attempts to exploit a “glitch” in Chase bank ATMs that offers “infinite free money” — but quickly learning that a bank and its money are not so easily parted. Experts say the “glitch” videos look an awful lot like check fraud — one of the oldest scams in the book. Videos urging customers at the bank to take advantage of the “glitch” quickly took off online, prompting people to deposit fake checks for large sums of money. The glitch would credit some of the sham deposits to the customers’ accounts before the...
