During the third quarter of Wednesday's Kings-Lakers game, a fan sitting behind the basket got berated by LA star Luka Doncic for throwing the ball back to the ref ... too hard ... after it trickled out of bounds. That's right. "Too hard." Wait until you see this chest pass this fan launches at this female NBA ref. Better yet, wait till you see the absolute tantrum Luka throws after he sees it. Naturally, the fan was ejected.

The day before the midterm elections, PBS ran a piece claiming that “In the run-up to the midterm elections, experts have documented a surge of Islamophobia in political ads and speeches.” And now that Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed will become the country’s first Muslim U.S. senator, it’s a certainty that any criticism of his statements or positions will be labeled as an attack on all followers of Islam. But as the country’s Islamic population grows and Muslims continue to gain access to the levers of power in the U.S., we need to do what we didn’t as a nation do...

Democrats in Congress have openly told the Trump administration and their benefactors to 'lawyer up,' prepare for subpoenas and expect to testify on Capitol Hill come next year. The top Democratic member on the House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia of California, is expected to become the powerful investigative panel's chairman come January 2027 – a promotion enabling him to set the agenda and legally compel witnesses to reveal their secrets. 'Anything that has to do with Trump family corruption is going to be looked at on day one,' a Democratic congressional official with knowledge of the committee's plans granted anonymity...

President Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday after he signed an Executive Order making the Oval Office a national monument to restrict future presidents from demolishing the space. A reporter asked President Trump about Texas' incoming Democrat governor Gina Hinojosa. Texas turned blue, blue, blue on Tuesday night. Governor Greg Abbott was unseated by Democrat Rep. Gina Hinojosa. Abbott has served as Texas’ governor since 2015. Gina Hinojosa is a far-left, open borders radical. Per Fox News: Gina Hinojosa has called on Gov. Abbott to end state and local cooperation with ICE & she can order...

The Senate GOP’s biggest failure shouldn’t get a promotion to minority leader. I suppose I’ve become cynical enough that it’s very rare to read something that shocks me into a cough or a spit-take, but I nearly had one when I saw this on Wednesday… Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., vowed that Republicans “will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done.” Thune’s pledge early Wednesday came after Democrats captured control of both chambers of Congress in a sweeping midterm election victory, prompting conservatives to demand accountability from...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14) Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.

There’s a pretty significant difference between winning a presidential election and deciding that the rules for winning presidential elections should be changed. That distinction is worth considering after Democrats’ sweeping victories in several key state elections during a bloodbath of a midterm.Axios reported Wednesday that Democrats have gained control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada. Those victories could give Democrats enough political power to push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact past the threshold needed to take effect.And that could fundamentally change how America elects its president by 2028.

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (11/5/26)[Prayer]The Scriptures in Handel's Messiah Haggai 2:6-76 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.

"By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks" (Heb 11:4). The character of your life will determine the legacy you leave to others. Bible scholar James Moffatt wrote, "Death is never the last word in the life of a . . . man. When a man leaves this world, be he righteous or unrighteous, he leaves something in the world. He may leave something that will grow and spread like a cancer...

Marxists and Muslims for now. Muslims in the end. n Dearborn, Michigan, and in Minneapolis, Minnesota, mosques can blast Muslim prayers five times a day. Yet, if a Christian church tried to similarly blast sermons, or even bells, they would quickly be shut down. Officials, and the separation of church and state folks, would be on them in a heartbeat. Dearborn, as of now, is still the world headquarters of the Ford Motor Company, steeped in American exceptionalism for many decades. But it is now almost entirely a Muslim enclave. Minneapolis was once a beautiful, safe, and thriving city. Its...

Considering that presidential elections usually have higher turnouts, and all three elections were remarkably heated, Talarico’s extraordinary popularity is...interesting. One thing I’ve warned about over the years is that Texas, which proudly positioned itself as the new Silicon Valley, was bringing in a lot of college-educated young people. In the 1950s, that would have been nice. In the 21st century, that meant bringing in leftists. It’s easy to assume, then, that these new immigrants handed James Talarico his new Senate seat. However, population growth alone doesn’t fully explain what happened in Texas on Tuesday. I have no settled explanation for...

One voter for every two people The Dems had a pretty clear plan to flip Texas, assemble a coalition of Hispanic voters, urban black voters and liberal suburban voters. It didn’t work in previous elections, but it did this time. Liberal suburban voters tend to turn out in high numbers if they think there’s a chance they can win. Black and Latino voters need to be registered and from the look of things, the usual lefty voter turnout ‘non-profits’ were very busy registering legal or illegal voters. A record 19 million Texans were registered to vote in Tuesday’s election, roughly...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced murder charges Thursday following the death of a missing 10-year-old girl whose body was found in South Jersey. Authorities said the girl's foster mother, 36-year-old Caprice Williams, has been charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and several related offenses. The victim, Malayshia Allford, had been the subject of an intensive 10-day search after she disappeared from West Philadelphia. According to Assistant District Attorney Ashley Toczylowski, investigators believe Malayshia was last seen alive on Oct. 22. Authorities said surveillance video from Oct. 26 at approximately 1:53 a.m. appears to show a...

If modern medicine invented a single pill that could slash cardiovascular disease, blunt cognitive decline, lower systemic inflammation, and add a decade of vitality to your lifespan, pharmaceutical companies would charge $1,000 a month for it. Yet the most potent prescription for living past ninety costs nothing, requires no gym membership, and can be filled right on your neighbor’s front porch. Over the last two decades, researchers studying the world’s “Blue Zones”—pockets across the globe where people routinely live vibrant, active lives past 100—scrambled to uncover the physiological formula. At first glance, their diets seem completely contradictory. In Loma Linda,...

The national elections, just completed, added five states that will be completely controlled by Democrats next year, i.e., legislature and governor. They are, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Every one of these is ripe for legalizing assisted suicide, as that policy is now part of the liberal/progressive issue agenda. Most have already seen serious efforts to legalize doctor-prescribed death — even when Republicans held some power. Indeed, the electorally late (defeated for reelection) Governor Joe Lombardo of Nevada vetoed a legalization bill a few years ago. Other states that are already governed by a so-called Democratic trifecta, but which...
