ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller said on Tuesday that his left arm was amputated after he got into a “serious car accident.” “Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this,” Miller said. “As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have...

Democratic Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti said she supported disarming police officers and wanted to emulate Japan’s gun-control laws in a resurfaced video from 2020. Cognetti, who is seeking to unseat Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Rob Bresnahan in the Eighth Congressional District, has a history of supporting anti-Second Amendment groups, notably Everytown. She made the remarks about Japan’s gun-control laws during a June 2020 virtual town hall in which she also said she wanted to disarm police. “I would love to get to a world where a country where we don’t have or police don’t have firearms and where we don’t have...

More than two decades ago, in 2004, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington warned in his book “Who Are We?” that America was facing a crisis of identity. He argued that a nation cannot remain united without a common culture, a common history, and a common understanding of itself. Remove those foundations, and a society inevitably fragments into competing tribes, interests, and identities.Huntington pointed to the Anglo-Protestant Creed as the core of America’s unifying identity. He argued that America’s political institutions and civic ideals did not arise in a vacuum but were rooted in a culture shaped by Protestant Christianity. If Huntington...

Eggs are a dietary staple for millions worldwide, known for their flavor and nutritional value. In the United States alone, per capita egg consumption reached 281.3 eggs in 2023, with projections suggesting it will rise to 284.4 in 2024, according to Statista. Yet, eggs have long been at the center of debates about their effects on cholesterol and heart health. In a groundbreaking experiment, Nick Norwitz, a Harvard student and Oxford-trained physiologist, consumed 24 eggs a day for 30 days, challenging conventional beliefs about dietary cholesterol. His unexpected results have sparked renewed discussions about the role of eggs in a...

State Attorney General Alan Wilson has won the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina, NBC News projected Tuesday, after a closely watched runoff that featured President Donald Trump’s unusual double endorsement of two candidates. Wilson is now heavily favored heading into the general election in South Carolina’s first open governor’s race since 2010. Republican Gov. Henry McMaster was term-limited and could not seek re-election. Democratic candidate Jermaine Johnson won his primary this month In the initial June 9 Republican primary, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette finished first with 29% of the votes, while Wilson placed second with 26%, with both...

Grok 4.1 has informed me the June 1962 Guns & Ammo magazine had a letter or short article in it about a boy/young man or boy scout who encountered a black bear on a mountain trail and shot it with a .22 handgun, killing the bear. I do not know if it is true. However, Freepers have vast stores of knowledge. A freeper may even have a copy of the June 1962 Guns & Ammo magazine, or know where one may be accessed. Any help in tracking down this lead would be appreciated.

Acting DNI Bill Pulte has fired over 50 career Deep State intel officials so far. “The Deep State firings have begun” a source told CNN on Monday. On Tuesday, CBS News reported that Pulte fired six political intelligence staffers and sent 45 others to their home agencies. It was previously reported that Trump wanted to reduce the size of the federal intel agencies. CBS News reported: Just over 50 career and political intelligence staff at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have lost their jobs since Bill Pulte became the agency’s acting director, Friday. Six career and political...

Tuesday’s decision in Pung v. Isabella County squarely rejects an argument that the longstanding use of tax foreclosure sales as a method to collect unpaid real-estate taxes violates the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment or the excessive fines clause of the Eighth Amendment. The specific problem that gives rise to the case is the reality that a tax foreclosure sale typically, perhaps invariably, produces a sale price far lower than the price that would come from the ordinary sale process of listing the property with a broker and marketing it over the course of weeks (or months). In this...

MORE than 11,000 migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats this year, official statistics show. In the last seven days 1,912 people have been picked up by Border Force and taken to Dover as the warm weather continues. It includes 310 people in five dinghies who crossed on Sunday, latest statistics show. The figure for 2026 so far is almost 40 per cent down compared to this time last year. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “Keir Starmer has given the British public a toxic leaving present – in the last week alone he’s let in nearly 2,000 illegal...

BOISE, Idaho - Idaho Department of Corrections released its plan this week for how it will carry out executions by firing squad. July 1st, firing squad will become the primary method for carrying out the death penalty. It's the first state to have the firing squad as a primary form; four other states have firing squad as a secondary option. The state passed legislation making this change, after encountering several issues carrying out executions by lethal injection. In 2024, the execution of Thomas Creech had to be stopped because of failure to establish an IV line through which to administer...

European Union staff and members of the Afghan Taliban have met in Brussels to discuss diplomatic services and “dignified returns” of Afghans, according to a Taliban official. Afghans make up one of the largest groups of migrants seeking asylum in the European Union and efforts to return failed asylum seekers have been hindered by war and the likelihood of executions and human rights abuses. However, a growing number of governments in the 27-nation bloc want to speed up and increase deportations for those whose claims are rejected or who commit crimes in their host countries. Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a New...

Far-left House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier couldn't stand up to the questioning of mere radio hosts — abruptly ending the interview and storming out of the station. The dust up Tuesday morning unfolded when the La Mega radio hosts pressed the Mamdani-backed candidates in the NY13 race on her old social posts. The thin-skin socialist was set off when one of the hosts pressed her on a now-deleted post that referred to the Dominican flag as "violent" and decried the "f------ nationalism" of putting the flag in her profile. "As a Dominican, I come back and say it, I am...

Starting under the Biden administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration allowed hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills into New Mexico because Justice Department prosecutors wanted to bring a bigger criminal case against traffickers, The Associated Press first reported. The AP cited three current and former DEA agents as well as government records showing that, between 2023 and 2025, the DEA monitored fentanyl shipments but didn’t seize the highly lethal drugs. “We poisoned our community to make cases,” DEA Special Agent David Howell told AP. “Through our own willful blindness, we get to say, ‘We don’t really know what happened to the...

It's so easy... first you shoot the arrow....then you paint the targetRetroactive justification.When the UN's traditional anti-Israel blocs want to level a particularly inflammatory accusation, they package a predetermined verdict as the result of an "independent inquiry." The only real investigation appears to be finding new ways to manipulate methodology, ignore inconvenient facts, or recycle outright falsehoods in service of a conclusion that was decided in advance. The goal is not to discover the truth, but to give a political narrative the appearance of due process.For decades, it is difficult to find a single UN statement on Israel that did...

The Orange County woman who faces a series of felonies for registering her dog to vote in 2021 and 2022 made her first court appearance on Tuesday, saying through her legal team that she did so to "expose flaws" in California's voting system. Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, was charged with five felonies last week as she registered her dog, Maya, to vote in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election, Orange County District Attorney prosecutors said. "The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election but was rejected in the 2022...

The unsettling swarm of drones that a downed US pilot in Iran said moved in a bizarre “jellyfish-like” formation indicates the Iranian regime has devoted significant resources to beefing up its drone program — so it can counter the conventional battlefield tech of its rivals. “They are adapting faster than us,” Brett Velicovich, drone expert and founder of Powerus, told The Post. “Iran has spent years developing capabilities designed to offset the overwhelmingly conventional advantages of the United States and its allies.” The unnamed F-15 pilot, who was rescued April 3 after hiding deep in enemy territory in the Zagros...

People who are HIV positive but are otherwise qualified to join the military can once again do so while a legal challenge to the Pentagon’s restrictions on military service moves forward, according to a federal appeals court order issued this week. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit clarified Tuesday that a lower-court order blocking enforcement of the restrictions has been back in effect since May 18, when the full court agreed to rehear the case. The order applies to applicants who are HIV-positive but asymptomatic and have undetectable viral loads through medication.
