This is the landlord who reminds me of Trump. We're the landlord now. The Dustin Hoffman character(Benjamin Braddock) has several potential stand-in's to evict.

Half the country is doing an end-zone war dance, the other half is scratching its weary head. That was some election! But you know what? The numbers are a little. . . queer. I mean queer in the old-school sense. Peculiar. Puzzling. Kind of. . . fishy. . . maybe statistically impossible? What I think happened: Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with...

Jamie Raskin says expanded background checks on private firearm sales will be among his priorities as expected House Judiciary Committee chairman. Republicans argue the proposal would burden hobbyists, friends, and people selling firearms from personal collections. Gun rights advocates warn that expanded background checks would create a registry that could enable future confiscation. Raskin also said he would scrutinize antitrust deals and perhaps pursue another impeachment of President Donald Trump. SNIP

This year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree was cut down on Thursday and will be trucked to New York City to usher in the holiday season. The 76-foot (23-meter) Norway spruce is expected to arrive Saturday following its journey from a yard in West Edmeston, New York. The conifer is approximately 75 years old and measures 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter. The tradition dates back to 1931, when crews building Rockefeller Center put up a small Christmas tree with handmade garlands.

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,...

Today's theme: Useful idiots of the World Unite!

Marc Thiessen spent the week denying the war was a factor and calling JD Vance disloyal for blaming it and the economy. Don Jr. fired back by name, calling those pushing that narrative disgusting. Thiessen has been arguing there was “no downside” to striking Iran, and in response to that, Don Jr. is asking whether he’ll call Trump's own son disloyal too. ...

On the same day she spent time with Trump at the White House, Ingraham used her monologue tonight to push for him to "cut losses" in Iran and "turn this war over the Gulf states," citing the devastating impact the war had on Republicans in the midterms and lack of popular support here's a long cut of her monologue (@acyn posted most of it first) ...

The Groypers Split the Right and Cost us the Elections... The question is who is behind these people?

The Muslim State of Michigan (MSM) is celebrating the **NEW** America tonight. It's a New World, folks, and the New World is in Order. This is what "the people" voted for.

Republican Jeff Dial, a former state senator, has called Democrat Sebastian Matta to concede the Maricopa County clerk of Superior Court race, both candidates tell me Matta, a 19-year-old Arizona State University student, will lead the clerk's office in the nation's fourth-largest county

The green ID book could soon be history. Ramaphosa has announced plans for a biometric population register and a new digital ID system designed to combat fraud, corruption, and weaknesses in South Africa's immigration system. But there's a catch: the rollout dates are still unclear. Will these reforms finally close the loopholes, or are they just another promise?

I have never been so happy about being almost dead as I am after that last election....

I've been going through some recent doctor recommended health improvement efforts involving sleep, including an in-clinic sleep study and getting on CPAP therapy. I posted about this a couple of months ago and got some great advice and insights from FReepers. I've been on the CPAP therapy for just over a month and feel like I'm finally finding my groove with it - resolved all of the mask leak issues, learning how to use and maintain the equipment, best sleeping positions, etc. The effects were not immediate, but I am finally beginning to notice small increases in energy and lack...

That’s real cold-blooded. A fight between elderly roommates over ice cream in Florida got so heated, one of the men allegedly shot his two tenants to death, according to cops. “It’s a ridiculous situation,” Ocala Police Chief Mike Balken said at a press conference Thursday. Mark Robinson, 69, is accused of fatally shooting Charles Etheze, 69, and Michael Menkes, 78, at his home in Ocala on Oct. 28 — after things got frosty between the men, according to police. The feud first broke out when one of the roommates accused another of eating his ice cream, sparking a spat that...

OGDENSBURG, New York (WWNY) - A St. Lawrence County woman is accused of driving a pickup truck into a woman during an argument in Ogdensburg. Ogdensburg city police arrested Kyrie Mitchell, 33, of Lisbon, Sunday night. Mitchell celebrated her 33rd birthday in jail Tuesday. According to documents filed in court, Mitchell was involved in an argument with Mary Skelly, 52, in the 7-Eleven parking lot on Canton Street in Ogdensburg Sunday evening. During the dispute, Mitchell allegedly put her pickup truck into reverse. Court papers said she “recklessly struck the victim with said vehicle, which created a grave risk of...

(Nov. 5, 2026 / JNS) Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon pushed back on Wednesday against attempts to blame the Jewish state for the Iran war and rising oil prices. His remarks, made in an interview with i24News, came after U.S. Vice President JD Vance cited the conflict and U.S.-Israel relations in explaining Republican losses in the midterm elections. “I think it’s unfortunate that many made the link between rising prices, mainly oil prices, and the situation here in Israel,” Danon said. “The decision to attack Iran was the decision of the United States. It wasn’t our decision,”...

As global tensions reach boiling point, fears are never too far away that World War 3 could break out at any point. A major conflict is likely to bring conscription, the official term for when a country imposes mandatory military service on the public. The UK Government extended the age bracket for eligible call-ups to the Army Reserves earlier this year, and some Brits understood that to be a reaction to the current worldwide unrest. With Vladimir Putin and Russia warning that direct nuclear strikes are "reality" and "not a scare tactic", western leaders are on red alert. Experts are...

"A population of weak, unhealthy, uninformed and dependent people is a hell of a lot easier to control than a population of strong, healthy, educated and self-reliant people. Your responsibility is to become the exact opposite of everything they want for you to the best of your abilities. Your REAL best. In my opinion that’s our obligation as Americans."
