Yes, my flame-retardant suit is on, but this is an honest question. What has happened to the two right sidebars here that used to be very good sources for TRULY breaking news stories? I've seen FReepers try to post actual breaking stories there, and some moderator deletes them from the sidebar, until all there is over there on Breaking News is commie Sunday television talk show posts. What has happened? I know Jim is gone, but I also know that this site needs money support. Crushing the breaking news sidebars is not a good way to get support.

Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of murder for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet. The killer, 19, sobbed and his family burst into tears as the judge read the verdict on Tuesday. His mother begged a jury to show him 'mercy' ahead of sentencing. Jurors were then presented with arguments from the defense and prosecution before being sent out to deliberate on the length of his punishment. Anthony was originally warned he faced between five and 99 years behind bars for knifing Metcalf, 17, at the track event in Frisco, Texas, last year....

Sen. John Fetterman and his possible future U.S. Senate colleague Graham Platner are both Democrats, but that’s not keeping them from trading profanity-laced barbs. During a town hall on Sunday, Platner — the frontrunner in Maine’s Democratic primary on Tuesday — was asked about forming relationships in the Senate if he were eventually elected. Platner chose to compare himself to Fetterman, who has frustrated Democrats with his constant criticism of the party, frequently on Fox News, and his support for President Donald Trump’s nominees and policies, such as the Iran war. “As you can all probably tell, I got a...

Once on the brink of closure, a historic Pennsylvania steel mill is set for a multi-billion-dollar overhaul that could help revive America's struggling steel industry. Pittsburgh was the beating heart of the industry, but that changed in the final decades of the 20th century as accelerating globalization and a rapidly changing steel business tanked the city's economy and drove away almost 200,000 residents. In the years that followed, Pittsburgh transformed itself from rust-belt basket case to regional tech hub, attracting offices for giants like Google and Apple, even as the steel industry continued fading. US Steel was one of the...

This college commencement season — from north to south, east to west, state universities to the Ivy League, law schools to military academies — one trend stood out: speeches about AI. Some speakers praised the technology and were booed; others denigrated it and were cheered. But one thing was clear, it’s all anyone can talk about. At least 25 graduating classes have heard some version of the spiel. Yes, talk about AI is timely, but it’s also not all that helpful. Nobody knows where the technology is headed, and students probably have a better grasp of that future than the...

Can the Morning Joe crew possibly be this oblivious to its hypocrisy? The panel spent Tuesday morning blasting Republicans for raising questions about suspicious vote counting in the Los Angeles mayoral primary — then immediately launched its own sweeping conspiracy theory about how Republicans plan to steal the 2026 midterms. Mika began spinning the anti-GOP conspiracy theory on the 2026 midterm elections: "I think the bigger picture is, there seems to be some sort of preparation going on here. That's just my analysis. But it doesn't feel good looking ahead to the midterms, the way these Republicans are behaving." Get...

VIDEOAfter the IMMENSE viewer blowback to NBCLA TV pretending there was nothing suspicious about the L.A. mayoral vote count which was highlighted in the previous DUmmie FUnnies video, pompous blowhard Conan Dolan had to go to the convenient fallback position that while the election was honestly run it did have "terrible optics." That "Terrible Optics" mantra was recited several times as if that somehow explains the irregularities away. Of course, what are the chances that Conan Nolan would actually lead an election integrity campaign to require valid voter ID, no mail ballots allowed after election day, and end to ballot...
