A 21-year-old socialist and unpaid former NYC Council intern who claimed she was axed after demanding she and her peers get paid $32 an hour with full health benefits — and plans to sue the Council — was born into wealth. Mina Farahmand — who worked voluntarily last year to help get fellow silver-spoon socialist Zohran Mamdani elected mayor – is the daughter of a prominent surgeon and grew up in a palatial six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home on 30 acres in Colville, Wash. Her father, Mehrdad Farahmand, is a general-surgery specialist at Providence, the largest health care provider in Washington State....

Former first lady Jill Biden accused the media of applying a “double standard” in its coverage of her husband, former President Biden, when compared with President Trump. While promoting her memoir last month, the former first lady was asked during a Q&A session about media coverage during her husband’s presidency. She said the former president would have been “excoriated” had he been responsible for much of what is happening under the current administration. “You know, if Joe would have done any one of the things that are occurring now, I mean he would have been excoriated,” she told “The View”...

If you haven't yet, it might be time to start familiarizing yourself with the parts of your vehicle, as well as the brands that make them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) just announced another air bag recall. This time, tens of millions of vehicles are under a Do Not Drive warning because the bags are not operating as designed.

@MarkLynchSC Rick Scott introduced a bill to END Social Security by 2028, leaving more than 75 million American seniors without the benefits they earned, and hurting everyone who has already paid into it. He calls it welfare. In the Senate, I will fight to protect your benefits from career politicians like Rick Scott and Ralph Norman.

@ZiaYusufUK Imagine being so deranged you campaign to have British passports given to men who gang raped British children and tortured British civilians for ISIS. Meet Andy Burnham’s new Director of Political Strategy.

Police in Florida arrested a man and held him in jail for nearly three months based on a bad facial recognition result. It's far from the first time such a thing has happened—in fact, it's at least the second time that the same sheriff's office was involved, according to Action News Jax. In April 2025, a man in Jacksonville, Florida, purchased a car from someone he met in a grocery store parking lot. When he learned the car was stolen, he reported the crime to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Using surveillance footage from the parking lot, investigators ran the suspect...

A woman was arrested Thursday after police say she tried to run over a man and woman with her car at a Florida City intersection last May.

As Wright entered the intersection, the report said she accelerated, drove into the oncoming traffic lanes, and struck the male victim...

The Chinese planned to stoke Black Lives Matter riots and other social unrest in 2020, using the corporate media to launder the narrative in order to tank the election for President Donald Trump, according to documents released by the White House on Thursday. Intelligence summaries from 2020, which were apparently hidden from the president at the time, show that the Chinese planned on “encouraging violent demonstrations and looting to increase the appearance of social unrest” ahead of the election, and to “exploit U.S. societal fissures and vulnerabilities,” in part by “alleging that White people hate Black people.” The Chinese were...

Does anyone know who this guy is?? Dr. Mark Brauner? Any Freepers in the medical field who ever heard of him or watched his videos? I came across him tonight and spent quite a lot of time watching his videos, and I came to the conclusion the guy is - to put it blunt - utterly full of sh** although I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Every video is basically the same - Israel bashing, genocide accusations, Israelis are killing children, Israelis are mass murdering innocent people - always the children, the children - always Israel, yet...

She told police she thought he was going to turn but didn’t. The suspect then gets out and runs away....

A receipt checker at a Florida Sam’s Club has been accused of letting a man walk out with stolen televisions and other high-end merchandise nearly 50 times — in a con pilfering $58,000 in goods. Brenda Jacqueline Gayle Archer, 57, manned the door of the wholesale store in Sunrise, Fla., and would rubber-stamp the receipts of Troy Sidney Lawrence, 36, after he bought low-priced items and used the receipt to walk out with high-ticket items, NBC Miami reported, citing arrest records. Archer, of Lauderhill, and Lawrence, of Sunrise, were arrested Tuesday for the “recurring scheme in which the same male...
