Reddit has a list of sponsors of Jennifer Welch's sponsors. Being in the staffing business, I chose two which I may be able to negatively effect. I encourage all Freepers to peruse the list and take aim. I plan to activate my professional network on this also.

Comedian Dave Chappelle, performing back-to-back shows as part of his “Karmageddon” tour, told a sold out Madison Square Garden crowd he “feels better” after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was murdered. “I feel f****d up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered … and I shouldn’t say this publicly but, I feel better,” Chappelle said, receiving some applause and laughter from the crowd. “I know I shouldn’t say that but, it’s just a feeling,” Chappelle continued. “I didn’t ask to feel this way. I just be...

The gloating at Politico over the 2026 midterm election results is not only fully underway but has already extended to what they see will be a likely Democrat victory in the 2028 presidential election as you can see in this Friday wishcast by Aaron Pellish, Lauren Fedor, and Lisa Kashinsky, "The midterms blew open the 2028 map. Republicans are panicking." However, there is something rather odd about their story. No prospective Democrat candidates are even named. Could it be that if any of them are named it would quickly deflate their balloon filled with Hopium?

Killing a bipartisan deal to reduce electricity costs would signal that Democrats aren't serious about affordability. Emboldened by the scale of Democratic victories in the midterms, a small group of liberals is trying to blow up a carefully negotiated bipartisan agreement that would make it easier to build in America. Failure to pass this compromise during the lame-duck session would send a loud message that the incoming Democratic majorities aren’t as serious about affordability as candidates said they were on the stump. And a deal this good for the economy is unlikely to materialize in the next Congress, which is...

The American flags lay discarded on the tables, not a Maga hat in sight.The crowd had dwindled to the last dregs of the party, with people nursing their warm martinis. On the screens above the bar, the unavoidable message blared: the blue wave sweeping across America.At the "Make America Hot Again" party in an uptown bar in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night, young Republicans faced a reckoning with their own party."Maga is officially dead," said Raquel Debono, 30 matter-of-factly. "The brand is done."(snip)Matthew McCormick, 29, had turned his stool away from the TV screen. The Republican strongholds of Texas and...

Lockheed Martin agreed to pay about $29.5 million to resolve federal allegations that it used race or sex in employment decisions and falsely certified compliance with anti-discrimination requirements in its federal contracts. The U.S. Department of Justice announced the two agreements Tuesday. The department said the alleged conduct dates to 2019. Lockheed will pay $22 million plus interest to the United States under the False Claims Act and about $7.5 million to more than 1,000 workers under a separate U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission agreement. Lockheed denied the allegations and admitted no liability. The company said in a statement that...

NASA announced Saturday that Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and six other aerospace companies are eligible to compete for up to $10 billion in lunar delivery contracts as the agency advances plans to establish a permanent base on the moon. The announcement, made at the MAX POWER aerospace expo and air show at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, expands NASA’s commercial lunar program, bringing together private companies to deliver scientific equipment, technology and infrastructure to the moon’s south pole. The new Commercial Lunar Payload Services framework has a maximum combined value of $10 billion over 10 years, with...

Olivia Reingold reports from Detroit, where the Muslim progressive’s election signifies a seismic shift in the scales of power. Socialism, TikTok, and anger now reign supreme. DETROIT, Michigan — “LET’S F[-------] GOOOOOO!” A blonde with a tattoo of the state of Michigan on her forearm thrusts her fist into the air. It is just after 1:30 a.m., and Abdul El-Sayed, a doctor turned podcaster, has been senator-elect for approximately one minute. Three friends next to me embrace in a hug. Hundreds of his supporters, crowded into a downtown event space, raise their smartphones. As his signature walk-out song, Tupac Shakur’s...

Rioters attempt to smash the windows of a Snipes store near Châtelet–Les Halles in central Paris, France, on 18 October 2026. Matthieu Rondel/AFP. Three-quarters of a sample of suspects brought before French courts following last month’s mass riots bore Arabic–Muslim or African-origin first names, according to an analysis by leading pollster Jérôme Fourquet. The finding points to mounting indications of significant immigrant-background involvement in the looting and violence that, with the help of the far left, turned France’s protests over education and living costs into weeks of urban chaos. Fourquet, director of the opinion department at polling institute Ifop, examined...

U.S. — Democrats proudly announced that they had already delivered on their campaign promise to improve affordability, having made stock prices far, far cheaper in just a few days. Only two days after the midterms, Democrats had succeeded in reducing the total cost of stocks by historic amounts, making good on their vows. "This is what it looks like to deliver for the American people," said Representative Hakeem Jeffries, holding up a chart to show how much cheaper stocks are now. "In just 48 hours, we managed to cut the price of stocks by a collective $2.9 trillion. If we...

The insanity of the Democrats and their lunatic NeverTrump fringe transformed Trump from a pariah into a victim. A prominent theme in The Counterrevolution, Victor Davis Hanson’s new book about the “fall and rise” of Donald Trump, is the unwitting role that Trump’s enemies played in his rehabilitation from 2022 to 2024. I sense that the public memory of the assault against Trump and his lieutenants is already beginning to fade. It is worth revisiting, especially in light of the likely reaction by the Left to its astonishing (astonishing to me, anyway) victory in the midterms. There were essentially three...

Eight people were arrested and 43 women from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and other States were rescued during simultaneous raids at four premises in Hyderabad as police busted an alleged illegal human egg harvesting and commercial sale racket involving recruitment, transportation and accommodation of women for oocyte donation procedures.

Archaeologists spent decades treating Rujm el-Hiri as a one-of-a-kind puzzle. A vast maze of basalt rings near the Sea of Galilee, nearly five thousand years old and stretching 492 feet across. Locals call it the Wheel of Ghosts. Researchers called it the Stonehenge of the East. Now satellite data shows the whole region has been slowly rotating the monument out from under the old theories, and the site is not even unique. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev first used satellite imagery to map hundreds of features around the site, including tumuli, linear walls, and...

The November 3 midterm elections largely devastated conservatives, as a blue wave rolled over the country, seizing Republican strongholds. The performance of the pro-choice party subset proved no exception. Pro-choice incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) lost reelection to Democrat Troy Jackson in a hotly contested race. Pro-choice Republican candidate Michelle Tafoya also lost her Senate race in Minnesota to Democrat Peggy Flanagan. Republican Mike Rogers was defeated by radical Muslim Abdul El-Sayed (D) in the race for the Michigan U.S. Senate seat after Rogers made a controversial commitment not to fight the state’s liberal abortion law. “The people of Michigan...

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart have united in virtually accusing Stephen Miller, President Trump’s new chief of staff, of murder. Democrat Jeffries, the presumptive next Speaker of the House, made the most explosive charge. On X he wrote: “Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands. His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.”It reads more like someone putting out a hit— not a call for bureaucratic reshuffling. On Saturday’s edition of MS NOW’s The Weekend, Capehart echoed the charge. Discussing Miller’s promotion, Capehart was...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThirty-second Sunday in Ordinary TimeJesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.” Matthew 25:1–2The Parable of the Ten Virgins draws on culturally familiar language and practices from first-century Israel. Understanding the wedding customs of that time sheds light on its deeper meaning. First, the bride and groom did not choose each other. The father of the groom selected a bride for his son and spoke to the bride’s father...
