WNBA player Angel Reese ignited a social media firestorm after claiming players are prepared to sit out games to demand higher salaries during her podcast Friday. Reese and fellow WNBA player DiJonai Carrington addressed the next WNBA collective bargaining agreement.

Reese has griped about her financial situation in the past. "The WNBA don't pay my bills at all. I don't even think it pays one of my bills. Literally," Reese said....

Missouri’s attorney general wants to know what former President Joe Biden didn’t know and for how long he didn’t know it. In a post on X, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he wants the Department of Justice to open up a can of worms by investigating whether Biden’s deluge of executive orders and pardons that marked the final weeks of his presidency came at a time when Biden had no idea what he was signing. “I am demanding the DOJ [investigate] whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Baily...

President Donald Trump said on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures” broadcast that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took money from the United States during the Biden administration “like candy from a baby.” Host Maria Bartiromo asked, “Let me go back to what happened in the Oval Office the other day. I call it a smackdown of Zelensky. It looked really rough, but at the end of the day, you might have your deal back. Was that all the art of the deal? What specifically ticked you off?” Trump said, “Well, you know, he was able to, it was like taking candy...

On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) claimed that the “only way” to enforce bans on biological men in women’s sports is for “people in schools to pull children’s pants down to determine what sex they are.” Host Leland Vittert asked how Democrats can say they’re a big tent who are in touch with America when no Democrats in the Senate voted to ban biological men from women’s sports. McClellan answered, “I don’t think that the American people want school professionals pulling their children’s pants down to determine what sports team they should play on.” After...

STUTTGART, Germany — A U.S. Air Force base in the United Kingdom is being prepared as a potential deployment site for nuclear bombs, a leading atomic policy research group said in a new report. Three years of budget documentation and observations that include satellite imagery indicate that the U.S. military wants to reestablish a nuclear mission at RAF Lakenheath for the first time in nearly two decades, the Federation of American Scientists said. “The addition of a large nuclear air base in northern Europe is a significant new development that would have been inconceivable just a decade-and-a-half ago,” according to...

I’m hoping to hear from some fellow freeper thoughts on retiring in Thailand. We’re looking at Chiang Mai as our target destination. We’ve been to Thailand before; 1989, 1992 and most recently in 2014 (so we know what it is like right now - big changes lol). I know there is a lot of info available on YouTube and other sites, but I want to check here with anyone who may have actually made the move and what their suggestions may be.

FOR TEN DAYS, since the shouting-match in the Oval Office, Ukraine has been scorched by Donald Trump’s wrath. Now comes a moment of catharsis—or another round of brutal punishment. On February 11th America and Ukrainian delegations are due to meet in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The American side says the goal is to create “a framework for a peace agreement and an initial ceasefire”. Yet on the Ukrainian side, amid the hope, there are fears the meeting could be a shake-down, a delaying tactic or an attempt by Mr Trump to win concessions that benefit Russia. The summit comes as Russia...

The Moutier-Grandval Bible, an illustrated ninth-century masterpiece considered one of the finest manuscripts in the world, is back in Switzerland, where it miraculously survived the ages in impeccable condition... The priceless Bible was produced in Tours in France in around 830-840, before making its way to Moutier-Grandval Abbey, in the mountainous Jura region in northwestern Switzerland. Now in the care of the British Library, the 22-kilogramme (50-pound) manuscript is being loaned for three months to the Jura Museum of Art and History in the region's tiny capital Delemont. It is only the second time it has been loaned from London,...

President Trump’s fixation reinvigorated the debate over the role of the federal government in education, and created a powerful point of unity between the factions of his party.Two months after the Education Department officially opened its doors in 1980, Republicans approved a policy platform calling on Congress to shut it down. Now, more than four decades later, President Trump may come closer than any other Republican president to making that dream a reality. Though doing away with the agency would require an act of Congress, Mr. Trump has devoted himself to the goal, and is said to be preparing an...
