    President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his attacks on Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., asserting that the governor was nearing completion on a plan to build low-income housing in an LA suburb ravaged by wildfires. "Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades," he posted on Truth Social. "How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much! Newscum allowed their houses to burn by not accepting Hundreds of Millions of Gallons of Water from the Pacific Northwest, and now, the...

    It looked like the Sun was heading toward a historic lull in activity. That trend flipped in 2008, according to new research. The Sun has become increasingly active since 2008, a new NASA study shows. Solar activity is known to fluctuate in cycles of 11 years, but there are longer-term variations that can last decades. Case in point: Since the 1980s, the amount of solar activity had been steadily decreasing all the way up to 2008, when solar activity was the weakest on record. At that point, scientists expected the Sun to be entering a period of historically low activity....

    Guinness World Records announced on September 10 that Croatian man Vitomir Maričić just beat the world record for holding your breath. Maričić held his breath for 29 minutes and 3 seconds. How is that even possible? Even as a kid, the best I could ever do was a little over a minute. Maričić is a member of the Adriatic free divers. Freedivers train their bodies to cope with reduced oxygen levels. They prepare by taking deep, oxygen-rich breaths and relaxing the mind to trigger the mammalian dive reflex, which slows down the heart rate, redirects blood to vital organs and...

    The agency revealed that suspect Donald Henson, a former military member, is still at large The FBI's Pittsburgh field office is investigating a “targeted attack” that took place in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Sept. 17. “At approximately 2:40 a.m., an individual driving a white sedan proceeded to ram one of the vehicle entrance gates at FBI Pittsburgh,” authorities wrote on social media. “This individual exited the vehicle, removed an American flag from the backseat, and threw it onto the damaged gate. The individual then left the scene on foot.” Investigators identified the individual in question as Donald Henson,...

  • FYI, GPT thinks the text exchange looks fake

    I thought it looked fake as heck. Some Freepers here said it looked like it was written by a lawyer. I asked GPT. Here's what it says: "This looks more like a screenshot of text made to appear incriminating or dramatic rather than a genuine confession. A few reasons why: 1. Tone and Word Choice The writing mixes very casual “idk” and “love” with serious statements about rifles, the FBI, Trump, and turning oneself in. Real confessions or legal exchanges are usually more consistent in tone. The use of emoticons like “;-;” and shorthand (“rn,” “idk”) is more typical of...

Public materials describe the event as a joint effort between AUSCP and the USCCB, presenting it as a continuation of synodal engagement.The AUSCP has a long history of promoting views in direct conflict with immutable Catholic teachings regarding the ordination of women, human sexual morality, the sacraments and the nature of the priesthood.In the...

    Late-night TV legend Jay Leno called the assassination of conservative rockstar Charlie Kirk “the death of free speech. The Tonight Show icon also said Kirk’s cold-blooded murder “was not a random shooting.” “I mean, it’s the death of free speech, to think that you are so illiterate and so stupid you can’t answer verbally, and you have to shoot somebody with a gun to win the argument,” Jay Leno said last week on The Tim Conway Jr. Show on KFI 640 in Los Angeles. Leno said the days of “lively” debates between conservative intellectuals like William F. Buckley and liberal...

    Has America been a force for good or for evil? Why are some podcasters suggesting that the U.S. should have sided with Hitler’s Germany over Churchill’s UK and Stalin’s USSR during World War II? Was dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a moral failure — or a necessary act to end the war? And does the Constitution really prohibit displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings? PragerU CEO ‪@realtalkwithmarissa‬ invites historians David and Tim Barton for an in-depth discussion.

    Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield has quit the ice cream brand he started in 1978 amid a dispute with its British owner Unilever, according to a post by the company’s other co-founder, Ben Cohen. Cohen shared a statement from Greenfield that said quitting was “one of the hardest and most painful decisions” he has made. He accused Unilever of curtailing Ben & Jerry’s ability to speak out on social and political causes – which became synonymous with the brand’s identity. “It’s with a broken heart that I’ve decided I can no longer, in good conscience, and after 47 years,...

    Former vice president and two-time presidential contest loser Kamala Harris is set to return to ABC’s The View next Tuesday nearly a year after last appearing on the show. Harris made a last ditch appearance on the far-left day-time talk show to flog her failing presidential campaign in October of 2024, only weeks before the November election, but it was all to no avail because she lost the election in a landslide. Now the former veep is set to return to the show to flog her upcoming book, “107 Days,” in which she reportedly slags her former boss, Joe Biden,...

    Actor George Takei accused President Donald Trump and his allies of employing a Nazi playbook to exploit the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. The Star Trek actor made his claim when sharing a Substack article on BlueSky with the headline, “Is Charlie Kirk Their Reichstag Moment?” “After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and his allies wasted no time crafting an insidious and baseless narrative: that the left is violent, the right is under siege, and only they can restore order,” exclaimed Takei. “Sound familiar? The Nazis tried the same playbook.”

    A Southwest Florida radio station has seen its ratings skyrocket after ditching generic branding and going all-in on what listeners actually want: unapologetic, pro-America, pro-Trump content. The station has rebranded as “Trump Country”—and since March, ratings in key demographics have tripled. The station, now proudly flying the flag of common sense and conservative values, rolled out a new slogan: “Make Country Great Again.” Unlike the corporate, watered-down noise found on most airwaves, this station knows its audience—and delivers. The programming includes hard-hitting country music, America-first messaging, and even satirical promos voiced by a Trump impersonator. One mock promotion offered a...
