A transgender person who was born a male but now identifies as a woman, fled the United States of America for the Netherlands, apparently believing there would be greater freedom there. This same person was recently interviewed and complained about being harassed by Muslim migrants in the Dutch country. How many times have we seen something like this before? People on the left who flee the United States of America looking for something better, almost never find what they are seeking. In fact, they usually end up learning a hard lesson about how much better life is in the United...

We knew it was coming. Now, it’s finally been announced. In a video shared to social media, Joe Biden issued a statement about his forthcoming presidential memoir, Promise Me, America, and the rollout told you almost everything you need to know before you bother to crack the spine. Biden's voice sounded muffled, as if he were talking with a mouthful of cotton balls. It was hard to watch, but I sat through it. "Since I left the presidency, I've had a lot of people ask me, 'Joe, what have you been doing?'" Biden claimed in the video. "I'm dealing with...

This is not a right-wing parody video Toronto Police actually posted this. Toronto authorities thought this video would make us mad. They trotted out Sgt. Rob Chevalier, their "2SLGBTQ" Liaison Officer, with a "sad" story about how he and a gay black dude with fake breasts got made fun of.

Did you know that Former Vice President Kamala Harris is a fan of the WNBA? Okay, she probably couldn't name more than a couple of teams if you quizzed her, even if she studied all night, but the takeaway here is that she went to a game on Sunday and was given the opportunity to speak to the Los Angeles Sparks (that's one of the teams) after the game. And it was bad. Following the Sparks' 102-87 win over the Chicago Sky, Kamala made her way to the team's locker room to share a few words with the players. In...

They put a bug on my computer that has a 500GB appetite for free space. My computer is 469GB. By the time I was made aware of what's happening my free space was down to ~5GB. MS released a patch, but it requires ~6GB to install and run. By the time I was made aware of the patch, my free space was down to ~2GB. I tried to download the patch several times but it aborted each time for lack of space. I deleted programs and files but as soon as I did, the bug ate the free space. Now,...

@JamesOKeefeIII Regardless of what you think of him, this will always be one of the most powerful speeches in the history of the Senate. Back in 2018 when this happened, friends of mine who were not political teared up after watching this.

Representative Thomas Massie on Friday questioned why Republicans continue to emphasize widespread election fraud even as the party holds total governing power across Washington, calling it a contradiction at the heart of the GOP's message. “I mean, we won all the damn elections and we’re in charge,” he said. “And what are we doing with it? We're bankrupting the country, we're starting new wars, we're violating the Constitution. We're not cracking down on the fraud."

I clicked on my bookmark for Free Republic. The splash page came up. And then in dawned on me: Free Republic is 30 years old this year!

A black feminist historian whose work is being labeled as misleading — and who may have lost her cushy academic job — says it all comes down to an attack on black women. The New York Times tells the tale of Kerri Greenidge, whose 2022 book “The Grimkes” was hailed for its narrative about a slaveholding family and its work in the abolitionist movement. Publishers Weekly put the book on its list of that year’s top books, while the American Historical Association handed Greenidge the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, which honors scholars in women’s history and feminist theory. But the...

Stand-up comedian Margaret Cho posted a video on her Instagram mocking the death of South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and expressing her hope that another prominent Republican will die next. The 57-year-old celeb said in the video, “Bye, Lindsey Graham … bye, Lindsey! From the closet to the coffin, real seamless,” referencing rumors that the senator was secretly gay. “Um, also, yeah Mitch McConnell,” she went on. “So, it’s Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham … it does happen in threes. Hope!” Cho is believed to be indicating that the third “death” would be President Trump. ... Even people who commented...

Again. And I think you nailed it. They are looking to find Platner wannabes, cookie cutters, rather than the Democratic establishment. The moderate stepping in and saying the leftward drift is going to take us nowhere. Good. The moderates in the party are stepping back because they're scared of the socialist wing. But this socialist wing is basically, as I say, they're cookie cutters, they're boring people. They're very boring. Most of them have never had jobs. They repeat Marxist and socialist clichés. They align themselves with racist Middle East Nazi movements. They sell the voters a con job because...

The digital economy runs on data centers, a vital core of modern infrastructure most people never see. But there’s a debate brewing about data centers, with plenty of misinformation aimed at slowing data center development and, in some cases, halting it altogether. The Goldwater Institute has put together the following Free-Market Guide to Data Center Infrastructure to dispel some of the data center misconceptions.Is it just “Big Tech” that needs data centers? What is really driving their growth?No, it’s not just about “Big Tech.” Data centers are the 21st-century version of a power plant or water tower, providing the essential...
