@koshercockney Heartbreaking. Henry Nowak’s name has hardly been mentioned by anyone in the Mainstream Media. That’s why we must use our voices on platforms like X to raise awareness Henry’s friends and family posted this video of him and his sister Olivia with the caption “Henry is missed so much by so many. Henry's family have a drive and that is to keep Henry's name alive by raising money for “2Wish” the charity that continues to help them navigate their grief.” Rest in peace Henry. Sending love and prayers to his family right now. @elonmusk is already doing a great...

PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News) - A woman in Arizona is accused of killing a man who tried to end a date early after realizing he had been “catfished,” police said. Mikela Antresa Bahe, 30, is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, in the death of 52-year-old Norris L. Taft. Police said Taft was found seriously injured in the parking lot of an apartment complex just after 4 p.m. Sunday, May 3, and later died at a hospital. Investigators said surveillance video showed a woman getting into a dark-colored SUV as Taft walked in front of it, apparently trying to get the...

I've noticed that user ransomnote ( https://freerepublic.com/tag/by:ransomnote/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change ) publishes numerous X posts every day. I work with AI every day, and it feels like maybe he's just set up an AI agent/bot to pull from X and share on FR throughout the day. Kinda weird. I asked him about it in a comment, and he didn't reply. I don't want to be the blog police. But I was curious if FReepers are OK that an increasing number of FR posts are simply shared from X. Or if we'd prefer that news articles from online publications are shared instead. I've been...

TRINIDAD, Texas - A Facebook post about problems with the city of Trinidad's water quality led to the arrest of a resident, who now says she's filed a lawsuit against the city for what she calls a "political retaliation" arrest. What we know: Police in the City of Trinidad, located in Henderson County around an hour south-east of Dallas, arrested Jennifer Combs on May 8 and charged her with felony false alarm or report. Her arrest stems from a Facebook post she made on her ‘Southern Belle Watch' account, where she claimed that the city's water issues had led to...

A Virginia waiter has been canned after giving a couple a receipt calling them the N-word. The horrified customers were celebrating their anniversary at the Crazy Crab in Fairfax on Saturday when their receipt had the racial slur typed at the bottom next to the phrase “poquito poquito,” Spanish for “a little bit,” they told Fox 5 DC. The female diner said she was “shocked and in disbelief” upon making the vile discovery. “I really could not process what was happening in that heat of the moment,” she told the outlet, speaking anonymously and noting that she and her partner...

At one point it was thought Massie wasn’t part of the in-crowd, either, but then he became the darling of people like Ro Khanna and the editors of Politico by joining in the Epstein chorus. His constituents noticed, and they pulled the lever for Ed Gallrein, and now Thomas Massie can go and hang with Tucker and Candace. Massie can’t blame this on Trump. Massie did this to himself. Sometimes, the grifters become the marks, and that’s the end of the grift.

@ky_statesman I've lived in KY-04 my entire life and closely follow the election results here. There is no way that the turnout legitimately doubled. This was election fraud carried out by the highest levels of our state & federal governments.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth led the swearing-in ceremony at the PentagonFox News host Johnny "Joey" Jones reenlisted in the United States Marine Corps on Wednesday during a swearing-in ceremony at the Pentagon."The last job I had in uniform — my job was to get better. It was to heal. It's a very selfish thing. My job was to heal. The Marine Corps paid me to get better, and then I retired. And there's nothing wrong with that, but it was unfinished business," Jones said at the ceremony.Jones, a formerly-retired staff sergeant, served eight years in the Marine Corps and...

How Meta announced its latest round of 1000s of layoffs.

Who is Palmer Luckey? Palmer Luckey is an American entrepreneur and inventor best known as the founder of Oculus VR and the designer of the Oculus Rift, the virtual reality headset that revitalized the modern VR industry. Born in 1992 in Long Beach, California, he began building VR prototypes as a teenager and launched Oculus in 2012, which was subsequently acquired by Facebook (now Meta) in 2014 for $2 billion. After leaving Meta in 2017, Luckey founded Anduril Industries, a defense technology company focused on developing autonomous drones, sensors, and AI-powered systems for military applications. As of early 2026, his...

The Wall Street Journal last week ran a column headlined, “The Congressional Pension Racket.” That got me thinking about how Congressional pensions aren’t such a big grift around here, because none of our Congressional hacks ever retire. Why should they? The entire six-state region is 100 percent gerrymandered – 21 seats, 21 Democrats, even though about 40 percent of the New England electorate voted for Donald Trump in 2024. That’s why the Democrats are so mad about the gerrymandering this year. They’ve already gerrymandered everywhere they could, in spades. Their gerrymandering is a mature industry. The Republicans had a lot...

This is one of those rare two-birds-one-stone situations. Crazy scene on our Florida 287(g) Highway Patrol / ICE operation. As we’re picking up one illegal another illegal crashes right next to us. The truth is most Americans can’t comprehend how many illegals are in our country. Thank God, ICE and America First states like Florida are fighting to fix it! There's a 90% chance this hombre was looking over trying to see if it was one of his amigos being pulled in by ICE. There is no information on exactly where they were performing this operation, but this website can...
