Folks, Somehow, the green dildo has returned. If you think back to pretty much a year ago, you'll remember that there was an onslaught of green dildos being thrown onto WNBA courts mid-game. It was stopping the action every time. The craze then spread to the NFL where fans were throwing the sex toys onto the field, but it didn't really have the same effect. People ran the bit into the ground very quickly and it was no longer funny.

Opinion ‘Rape leaflets’ for migrants enrage the British public — and prove Trump’s point Something extraordinary happened in Britain this week: Our leftist government acknowledged a truth it has long denied. Our leaders admitted they are importing men who are so backward, so misogynistic and so out-of-whack with Western values that they don’t understand that rape is wrong. The woke fools who run this country conceded, after years of denial, that President Donald Trump and the rest of the supposedly “racist right” were correct all along: Europe is being overrun by brutish men from afar who think they can do...

This week: deep thoughts.

Nine Democrat Massachusetts state representatives stood up to 123 of their party colleagues by voting against a bill legalizing abortion up until the moment of birth. Now that Democrat Governor Maura Healy has signed the bill into law, some of them are beginning to speak out publicly. Even though the bill was fated to pass due to the overwhelming Democrat supermajority in the state’s House, the nine Democrats, at least one of whom is pro-abortion, voted against removing Massachusetts restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks. On Monday, August 10, Gov. Healy signed the bill into law. In interviews with Fox...

The Details: On Sunday night's...

A Greek woman named Phryne became an iconic figure in ancient Athens, remembered for the extraordinary moment when her beauty purportedly saved her life.

Phryne’s life in the shadow of impiety in ancient Athens Phryne lived in Athens during the fourth century BC.

Kennedy, 32, could face seven to 10 years in prison if convicted in Russia.

Washington, D.C. – Live Action, one of the nation’s leading human rights organizations, and Thomas More Society released a statement in response to a cease-and-desist letter sent from pro-abortion legal group Amplify Legal, which is affiliated with parent organization Abortion in America, which is a project of George Soros’ Hopewell Fund. The letter, which was posted online, argued that Live Action News published “false and defamatory” articles about 13 clients, all individuals who chose to publicly share their abortion stories. It demands that Live Action remove all related published material and immediately retract statements where abortion is described as “killing”...

I wanted to get some advise from FReepers who have walked this road. I have my first ever sleep study scheduled this weekend. Reading the prep literature makes me wonder how I'm going to sleep when I'm hooked up to all kinds of gadgets. I know I'll eventually sleep, but being away from home I'm not sure it will be a fair representation of the type of sleep I get at home. What do I need to be prepared for and to bring?

When a California couple wanted their surrogate, McKenna West, to abort the baby she was carrying, she fled to Texas. There, pro-life laws and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton helped save the baby, ensuring he got the care he needed. But as Democrat state Rep. James Talarico challenges Paxton for Senate, it raises the question—what would Talarico do? West, an Alaska nurse and single mother of two, agreed to serve as a surrogate for Californians Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar. At the 20-week anatomy scan, doctors diagnosed the baby boy with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a serious but treatable condition....
