With no actual proof informing the public one way or the other about D.B. Cooper's survival, we have to make arguments using circumstantial evidence. For years the biggest piece of circumstantial evidence used against his survival might turn out to be the biggest indication of his survival. Just my two cents.

Thieves don't need a key to steal a carSince the 1990s, most cars have had coded keys containing an electronic microchip which is paired with an engine immobiliser. It was meant to make it hard to steal a car without the key - but that didn't stop these thieves. How did they do it? The police officers who came to my home told me about something known as a "relay attack". It works like this. One thief stands close to the property, near an area where the car owner is likely to keep their keys - usually the kitchen or...

Used my Linux Mint 20 Pc to post some text the other day and it disappeared. That supports the theory that it was not just a Windows 11 problem. Rather than wasting any more time with disappearing text, I'm going to retire from Free Republic. RIP.

President Donald Trump is going on the offensive after a member of Team USA competing at the Winter Olympics criticized the direction of the United States' political climate. American athletes competing at the games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo have been asked questions about their feelings on the country's current political climate - which has drastically shifted under Trump since he took office a second time. While some athletes have expressed their thoughts and feelings - including those against the shifting political temperature - with diplomacy, others have taken a more direct approach. Hunter Hess, a freestyle skier from Oregon...

@TRobinsonNewEra It's becoming very common of invaders waiting outside nightclubs and frogmarching drunk women away to rape. Be careful out there, girls stay in groups, they've imported beasts. Hat's off to the guy filming, very likely saved these girls from rape.

@RupertLowe10 Right. I want to make this clear. Plenty of people have attacked our inquiry for ‘not having statutory powers’. Yeah. We know. OBVIOUSLY. We are not the Government. Clearly. But so what? Honestly, what’s the alternative? Sit on our arses and do nothing? Tweet? Wait for Labour to act? It just doesn’t work. Not for this. If what we’re doing, raises sufficient awareness and stops just ONE GIRL from being raped and abused by these muslim gangs? Then good. I say that is time and money well spent. But trust me, we are aiming for much, much more. Our...

The White House is in a full-blown baby boom. Second lady Usha Vance, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and Katie Miller, wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, are all pregnant. It will be Vance’s fourth child, Leavitt’s second, and Miller’s fourth. White House deputy chief of staff James Blair and his wife, Sam, are expecting a baby come March, according to Louise Perry, writing for The Wall Street Journal.

Savannah Guthrie took to social media again with an emotional video in the disappearance of her mom, Nancy, begging the abductor to return her “valuable” mother Saturday and offering once more to pay a ransom.“We received your message and we understand,” the “Today” anchor said on Instagram, alongside her brother Camron and sister Annie.“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” she added, later saying that her mother’s return is “very valuable to us” and “we will pay.”

mericans are finally learning that, six years ago, Toronto baptized an urban park with a painfully long, awkward name in the Huron-Wendat language. (snip) If you look at what the AWFL person behind the Canadian rename had to say, you’ll understand that leftists aren’t just being silly; they have a goal.(snip) It seems that in 2018, Toronto built a nice urban park, which it intended to call “Woodsy Park,” (snip) However, because this is Canada, which has now decided to lose the war it fought and won against the indigenous people many centuries ago, the chosen park name was considered...

Manhattan’s luxury housing market is quietly edging back toward its mid-2010s swagger after a decade marked by excess, collapse and recovery. And this time, the rebound appears to be powered by real money, not just empty supply. New data shows the borough’s priciest homes are nearly back to their 2016 highs, a milestone last seen during the condo boom that reshaped Manhattan’s skyline. By the end of last year, the median price for a luxury home — defined as the top 10% of the market — hit $6.39 million, according to a new report from Douglas Elliman. Manhattan’s luxury housing...
