Now that we can look at QAnon from a distance what did it turn out to be? I thought some of it's posts were legit just because I believed underhanded stunts were commonplace by the dims and the media. Especially after the lawfare against Trump and the pseudo press coverage of biden. Now it seems like QAnon was just trying to sow chaos among us conservatives. It's referred to like a joke or some manner of failed attempt to do whatever.

Can anyone recommend a good online resource to upload photos for discussion on this site? No NSA/CIA please, but not necessarily super-secure either. Thanks.

Robert Prevost’s last act on social media before he became pope was a retweet. It was April of last year. Donald Trump had hosted Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office, where the two men laughed about the unlawful deportation of a U.S. resident to El Salvador’s CECOT prison. Cardinal Prevost saw the post — a Rocco Palmo dispatch citing the words of Washington Auxiliary Bishop Evelio Menjivar — and reposted it to his Twitter following. Image “Do you not see the suffering?” Menjivar had asked in the Catholic Standard. “Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay...

Nigel Farage and Reform are campaigning around the country in the local elections and consistently polling higher than the other parties. Reform’s campaign started with a series of rallies for supporters and candidates, where they asked attenders who were not already members to join the party and put their names forward as candidates. Now Farage is on a busy schedule of walkabouts and meet-ups with prospective councillors and supporters around the country.

A Bay Area businessman’s first ride in a driverless Waymo turned into an airport nightmare when the robotaxi allegedly sped off with his luggage still locked in the trunk — leaving him stranded without clothes, work materials, or answers before a flight to San Diego. Di Jin said his Monday trip from Sunnyvale to San Jose Mineta International Airport went smoothly until he arrived at the terminal and tried to retrieve his suitcase. “I pressed the trunk open button, tried to get my luggage, but it doesn’t do anything, and it drives away immediately,” Jin told NBC. The stunned passenger...

Sir Keir Starmer does not "seem to know what to do about" antisemitism in the aftermath of the Golders Green attack, Kemi Badenoch has said. The prime minister has suggested he wanted to see tougher action against people using certain phrases at Gaza demonstrations, but stopped short of agreeing with calls to ban the marches (see 7.05am post). The Tory leader said: "I heard the prime minister give an interview this morning where he didn’t seem to know what to do about it. "There are things that we can do. We can ban hate preachers from this country, stop them...

Pentagon officials revealed Friday that 5,000 US troops will be pulled out of Germany amid the rift between Berlin and President Trump over the Iran war. “The Secretary of War has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 troops from Germany,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. “This decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground,” he added. Describing recent German rhetoric about the war as “inappropriate ⁠and unhelpful,” a senior Pentagon official told Reuters “the president is rightly reacting to these...

Rural America has long been where the rest of the country sends what it doesn’t want nearby: prisons, power plants, landfills. These days, two more intrusions have been added to the list: immigrant detention centers and data centers. In December, Larry Bender, the supervisor of Tremont Township in Schuylkill County, Pa., learned to his great surprise that the federal government had purchased the largest commercial property in the township: a 1.3-million-square-foot warehouse that had been a Big Lots distribution center. It would now be used for immigrant detention. Tremont is home to about 300 people. The facility was designated for...

Rosie O’Donnell has found a fresh start, and a healthier future, by leaving America. The A League of Their Own star, who fled to Ireland when longtime rival Donald Trump returned to office in 2025, took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 28 to post an image of a Women.com article which noted that her “Mounjaro face transformation is undeniable.” “I have diabetes 2. I have lost 56 lbs. in just over 3 years — I’m thankful for my improved health,” O’Donnell, 64, captioned the post. While the prescription drug is designed to regulate blood sugar levels in people with type...

A top Co-Op City official warned that residents could pay four times more in monthly maintenance charges if New York State’s controversial green-energy laws aren’t peeled back. Jeffrey Buss, Co-Op City’s general counsel, claimed monthly maintenance fees could skyrocket from $950 for a one-bedroom to more than $4,000 to pick up the tab for the edicts. Some 50,000 working and middle class residents of The Bronx complex, which is America’s largest residential cooperative, could see their affordable digs become unaffordable if the co-ops are forced to dish out as much as $1 billion to rewire buildings and revamp infrastructure, he...

WASHINGTON — Tax cuts are becoming the hottest new idea in Democratic politics from coast to coast, as candidates across the party spectrum seek to capitalize on cost-of-living struggles and win back working-class voters. Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., recently rolled out sweeping tax cut plans. Booker seeks to create a federal tax exemption for up to $75,000 in income for married couples. Van Hollen wants to set that figure at $92,000. Both have been floated as potential 2028 presidential candidates. In California, progressive candidate for governor Katie Porter, a former Democratic congresswoman, is proposing to...

For example, somebody's refusing to exit a vehicle and cops sound like 3rd grade teachers trying to coax a child to drink his milk. Are they staged? Or did Rodney King do this?

It is Friday. Time once again for some silliness!

A homeless Florida man hopped onto a stranger’s yacht in Miami and refused to leave — telling cops he was holding it for his “friend” President Trump, wild police bodycam footage shows. “I don’t have to [go],” he tells the cops. “I’m a veteran of the United States Army, and I’m here to protect Donald Trump. “I’m a part of the Hell’s Angels which protects the United States government, and I protect the president as well,” he says while calmly lacing up his shoes. When cops asked him what he was doing on the luxury vessel, Roberts, who is homeless,...

President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump host a State Dinner for King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom, Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in the East Room of the White House.

The fun kicked off in Texas last July, following President Trump's urging, pushed the Texas Legislature to redistrict the Lone Star State's congressional map in a pro-GOP direction. Missouri and North Carolina soon followed, prompting California Gov. Gavin Newsom to get in on the action: Golden State voters approved the use of a new map last November. Virginia voters narrowly approved a new congressional map that heavily favors Democrats. This week, Florida responded with a Gov. Ron DeSantis-led redistricting that heavily favors Republicans. In the interim, some other states, such as Ohio and Utah, redistricted for non-voluntary reasons such as...

An elderly motorist is accused of driving through a group of bicyclists in Georgia — knocking one over and fracturing his spine — before speeding off in a hit-and-run that was caught on camera. Jerry Wayne Ross, 72, flashed a smile in his booking photo as he faces charges for the alleged hit-and-run with his Honda Pilot, all caught on video, on April 23 in Cherokee County, Ga., according to Fox 5 Atlanta. The North Georgia Cycling Association was on its weekly Thursday night ride when the older driver was accused of driving up on the group in a suspected...

Quote = "Hiya kids! Hiya, Hiya!" Good Morning Crypto-FReepers. I see some of the same old faces out there. But that's OK - I like you anyway. Today's quote is a bit silly. I can't wait to see the clues you come up with. Hope it makes you smile. Ha Ha Ha! I'll be good - I will, (like heck) I will. Ha ha ha.

This evening, Campaign Against Antisemitism led a demonstration outside Downing Street calling on the Government to declare a national emergency on antisemitism and on the Prime Minister to present a plan to tackle the worst levels of antisemitic violence in living memory. The demonstration came after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green yesterday. Our investigations team uncovered new information about the suspect, which we have made public in the interest of this vital national debate. After the rally was called yesterday, the Prime Minister visited Golders Green this afternoon, where he was met with a frosty welcome from...
