Just a heads up Freepers I heard X money is coming to the X platform soon backed by VISA and licensed in nearly every U.S. state it will allow for instant money transfers from debit or credit cards and such. It could be a big deal and it's not easy to do this. I dont know how Elon Musk plans to integrate it but I'm sure he has plans. Maybe FR will take it? It sounds to me like it will be similar to PayPal. Musk was one of the original founders/backers of PayPal...

Hundreds of federal employees who were laid off following Elon Musk's cost-cutting measures through DOGE are being asked to go back to work. The employees were given until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement by the General Services Administration, which manages government workspaces. Anyone who accepts must report for work on Oct. 6 after what is being described as a seven-month paid vacation, during which the GSA has racked up high costs to stay in properties whose leases were slated for termination or were allowed to expire, reported The Associated Press. "Ultimately, the outcome was the...

Darren Bailey is set to announce shortly that he will run for Illinois governor once again. He was the Republican nominee for that position four years ago but lost in the general election to JB Pritzker. Bailey – and this is important to remember -- was Pritzker’s pick as the Republican who would be easiest to beat in the 2022 general election. So Pritzker pushed about $26 to $36 million into the Republican primary to help Bailey. The election meddling worked beautifully for Pritzker. Bailey won the Republican nomination and Pritzker went on to beat him handily in the general...

“The Far Left that has been ushered into office under Toni Preckwinkle’s leadership has been conducting lots of social experiments that… are very expensive. They’re hard for us to afford, and we’re not even sure if there’s any kind of return on investment.” The most glaring example Reilly cited was Preckwinkle’s decision to back her former chief of staff Kim Foxx as state’s attorney and help Foxx win a second term. “We saw public safety crumble across Cook County on Kim Foxx’s watch. Kim was there to implement Toni’s policies which were, frankly, charge fewer people with crimes and let’s...

Top Kremlin official Dmitry Medvedev issued a fiery nuclear warning to the U.S. after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said officials in Moscow should learn where their nearest bomb shelter is if they don't end Russia's war. Zelensky, in an interview with Axios, said U.S. President Donald Trump had given his explicit backing to Ukrainian strikes on Russian targets such as energy infrastructure and arms factories, and that if Kyiv receives more long-range American weaponry, then "we will use it". "The Kiev drug addict said the Kremlin should know where a bomb shelter is so its occupants can hide when he...

It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Houston and you're at your kid's baseball game. The coach is leading the players in prayer before the first inning. Then you hear the shots. Houston Warriors founder Andy Baize said the injured coach was saying a pregame prayer with their team. 'He literally took the bullet for a child that was to his left, and so thankfully we avoided a major disaster. Still very, very emotional over it,' Baize told KHOU 11. The three suspects, Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah did not appear to be targeting the game. They...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” MSNBC Security and Intelligence Analyst Christopher O’Leary discussed the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas and said that while people should tone down their rhetoric, “you also have to start looking at what policies you’ve implemented and what tactics you’re using, because, if you tone down the rhetoric, but you leave those other pieces in place, nothing’s going to change.”

Mr Poland said he thought he heard four or five loud bangs after dropping off Axel Rudakubana, 18, who admitted murder at a trial earlier this year, and assumed he had a gun and was shooting at people. In a statement to police around six hours after the attack, Mr Poland described an 'orchestra of blood curdling screams' coming from the dance studio and the girls who fled as running 'like a stampede for their lives.' After driving away from the scene, Mr Poland called his 'best mate', who told the taxi driver: 'There must be about 15 kids stabbed…...

Lawmakers in both parties fighting to force the Trump administration to release all the federal files on Jeffrey Epstein took a big step closer to their goal this week. Adelita Grijalva’s victory on Tuesday in a special House election in southern Arizona sends another Democrat to Capitol Hill — and secures the deciding endorsement of the procedural tool forcing a House vote on legislation to compel the Justice Department to disclose the still-concealed documents related to the late child sex offender. That procedural tool, known as a discharge petition, currently has 217 signatures. Grijalva is set to make it 218,...

ederal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia are seeking to indict former FBI Director James Comey for lying to Congress in 2020 about his handling of the Russia election interference investigation. Comey may be indicted by a grand jury for lying under oath on September 30, 2020 when he was being questioned before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the sharing of classified details from memos about early 2017 meetings with then-president Trump. The probe into Comey is working against a fast-approaching deadline next week, when the 5-year statute of limitations expires on Sept. 30, 2025. MSNBC reports that three...

The poll, which was released days after the first debate between the two candidates, is sure to raise alarms for Democrats, who are looking to beat back a Republican effort to flip the governor’s mansion after President...

Swedish professional protester Greta Thunberg and supporters now traveling in a 51-vessel convoy to Hamas-terrorist controlled Gaza have a problem. Opponents have hijacked their radios and communications systems to play ABBA on repeat and block out any other comms within the anti-Israel fleet.
