Free Republic

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC NEW The FCC just released the text of its 3-2 decision to approve a Soros backed group’s purchase of 200+ radio stations. The Commission’s decision today is unprecedented. Never before has the Commission voted to approve the transfer of a broadcast license—let alone the transfer of broadcast licenses for over 200 radio stations across more than 40 markets—without following the requirements and procedures codified in federal law. Not once.

One of the giants of the sports world passed away yesterday. Dikembe Mutombo was an impressive basketball player with an 18-year NBA career, and at 7-foot-2-inches tall, he towered over mere mortals as well as some of his teammates and competitors. Born in 1966 in what is now the Republic of the Congo, Mutombo was one of 10 children of a principal and his wife. At age 21, he came to the U.S. to play basketball at Georgetown University, and he parlayed his college success into the NBA. Mutombo played in the big leagues for nearly two decades, including five-year...

Newly unearthed reports contradict previous claims made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about his travel to China, including a claim that the Democratic vice presidential nominee traveled to China for a teaching position in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests... Walz had previously said he visited Hong Kong in “May of ’89,” weeks before the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. ... But contemporaneous newspaper reports first resurfaced by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news outlet, place Walz in Nebraska around that time. An issue of the Alliance Times-Herald dated May 16, 1989, features a photo of Walz touring...

It has been more than 40 years since Congress found common ground on Social Security and implemented a series of necessary reforms. Over that time, the discussion of Social Security has devolved into a shouting match, an exchange of emotionally charged hyperbole in which sound bites have become more important than stone cold facts.This environment is great for politicians who wish to duck and weave the issue with impunity, less so for the rest of us, because nothing gets done and the problem gets worse. Voters need to think about the role they play in the do-nothing politics of Washington,...

The United Nations Organization opened its doors in 1945, and by 1989, the Security Council and General Assembly together voted on 870 resolutions dealing with the “Arab-Israeli” conflict—as it was commonly known in those decades. When I worked on a research project commissioned by the Office of the late Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Shamir, I read and tabulated every one of them. In this period, the Security Council “condemned” Israel,” its highest rebuke, 49 times. Sometimes Israel was “vigorously condemned,” “deplored,” or “strongly deplored.” No Arab state was ever so chastised. In the same period, the General Assembly “condemned,”...

The first thing people have to know is there is absolutely zero scientific evidence that CO2, cars, oil, coal, natural gas, methane, or anything else that is being blamed for the climate has any direct relationship with temperatures, sea levels, or storm activity. Temperatures have risen and fallen the last 160 years, just as they have for billions of years, while we have used all of these products. Droughts come and go today, as they have throughout history. The reason there are so many deserts is long droughts throughout history. Floods and storms come and go, as they always have....

Greg Gutfeld took a blowtorch to the fake news media on Monday’s show for ignoring the report released Friday by ICE revealing Democrats and Kamala Harris have welcomed over 13,000 killers and 15,000 sex abusers into the American homeland. Has there ever been another country in world history that has allowed 13,000 killers to walk freely into their country? Gutfeld gutted the fake news media for ignoring this critical report that affects every family and every person in the US today. Gutfeld, not one to mince words, lambasted the press for intentionally ignoring the facts, despite the source being none...

ROME — Pope Francis has called out Israel for what he sees as its “domineering tendency” in Lebanon and Gaza, insisting its response to attacks has been “disproportionate.” Over the weekend the pontiff returned to Rome from Belgium and aboard the flight was asked whether he thinks Israel “has perhaps gone too far” in its dealings with Lebanon and Gaza, specifically mentioning the force used in the targeted assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah. “The defense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he continued. “When there is something disproportionate, a dominating tendency that goes beyond morality is...

Biden just said there will be NO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES given to the areas pummeled by Hurricane Helene WTF? There’s practically ZERO federal support to begin with! WHAT IS GOING ON? The US government prioritizes foreign entities over their own citizens. President Joe Biden and his handlers have pledged over $17 BILLION to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel in the past week alone. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has already gone on record to tell American hurricane victims that they should not expect any additional resources from the federal government. “We’ve given everything that we have,” Biden unsympathetically said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky abruptly...

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in four key battleground states, an InsiderAdvantage survey shows. The surveys, each taken September 29-30, examined the race in what it dubbed the “Sunbelt States” — Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia. In Arizona, Trump sees a one-point advantage, leading Harris with 49 percent support to her 48 percent support. Another two percent are undecided, and one percent said “other.” That lead, of course, is within the survey’s +/- 3 percent margin of error. In Nevada, Trump also sees a one-point advantage, leading Harris with 49 percent support to Harris’s...

Who will break first? Russia and Ukraine are engulfed in a difficult battle where both sides are in need of a lot of replacements at the front. Russia's mechanized forces and its firepower advantage are causing a lot of problems. In turn, Ukraine is mobilizing more and more of its population to reinforce frontline units. Meanwhile, western reports mention that Russia is suffering from a shortage of military equipment, and that the Russian Armed Forces could collapse at any moment. 0:00 Introduction 4:31 Russian Manpower 13:41 Ukrainian Manpower 22:08 Russian Equipment 25:17 Ukrainian Equipment 36:25 Repair battalions

The necropolis of Panoría is located at the easternmost end of Sierra Harana, in the town of Darro (Granada). It consists of at least 19 graves, 9 of which have been excavated between 2015 and 2019. They are collective burials from which more than 55,000 human skeletal remains were recovered. The dating of these remains shows that the first burials took place 5600 years ago with a discontinuous funerary use until 4100 years ago.Bioarchaeological AdvancesIn a recent study published in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports, the use of new bioarchaeological methods has allowed the identification of chromosomal sex from the...

As Kamala Harris deals with her own Katrina in North Carolina, Donald Trump has a two-point lead in the state. The comparisons between former President George W. Bush’s supposed mishandling of Hurricane Katrina and sitting Vice President Kamala Harris’s blatant mishandling of Hurricane Helene are quite startling. Back in 2005, Bush was criticized for not immediately returning to DC from his ranch in Texas to personally oversee the rescue efforts. Bush was also severely criticized for a photo that purported to show him looking over the damage from Air Force One.

The problem was not recognizing AI-generated or AI-revised text. At the start of every semester, I had students write in class. With that baseline sample as a point of comparison, it was easy for me distinguish between my students’ writing and text generated by ChatGPT. I am also familiar with AI detectors, which purport to indicate whether something has been generated by AI. These detectors, however, are faulty. AI-assisted writing is easy to identify but hard to prove. As a result, I found myself spending many hours grading writing that I knew was generated by AI. I noted where arguments...

No trees have grown on the windswept Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean for tens of thousands of years — just shrubs and other low-lying vegetation. That's why a recent arboreal discovery nearly 20 feet... beneath the ground caught researchers' attention...Thomas and colleagues went to the site and began "picking up these big chunks of wood." The tree remains were so pristinely preserved they looked like driftwood, Thomas said. But knowing the history of the Falklands, the researchers knew the remnants couldn't be modern...The presence of the tree fossils suggests the island was once home to a temperate rainforest...

I just saw a Youtube video about Iran preparing to strike Israel directly. Apparently the US govn notified Israel of this. I went to Amir's Telegram page and he speaks of it there, as well as on his Youtube channel. I will link the Youtube video below for those wanting to view it. It is very choppy, however, no doubt due to bad internet connectivity in Israel.

IT’S TIME TO RESCUE THE REPUBLIC - We need YOU to join the resistance. Together, we can restore the values that make our Republic and the Western world so beautiful and worth preserving. "When i watched the Democratic Party National Convention I enjoyed how well it was crafted and staged and reflected on the days when I would host things for MTV like the VMAs. For indeed it is the spectacle of politics because where there are no principles or values to undergird them all that's left is a pantheon of stars and new argots of empty language, tv shows...
