SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Sarasota, Florida, woman has been sentenced to over a year in federal prison after being found guilty of making threats against MAGA supporters on social media, the Department of Justice said on Monday. Desiree Segari, 41, was indicted in September 2025 after posting a TikTok the month prior, calling for supporters of President Donald Trump’s agenda to be “shot on sight,” according to evidence presented at trial. She was found guilty of interstate communication of a threat to injure on Jan. 13, 2026. The DOJ quoted Segari’s video, “MAGA people deserve to be terrified and...

Rachel Dolezal is once again drawing attention after revealing a new career direction, saying she is working toward becoming a certified sex coach following her previous stint on OnlyFans, TMZ reports. Dolezal, who goes by the name Nkechi Diallo, told the Daily Mail she is nearing completion of her certification, claiming she has logged nearly 300 hours of training. She said her goal is to focus on helping single mothers and busy parents improve their sex lives. Her comments come years after she became a controversial public figure following revelations that she had presented herself as Black while serving as...

Nineteen-thirty-six seemed like a turning point in America after seven years of the Great Depression. The stock market recovered to its 1929 levels, for which voters rewarded Franklin Delano Roosevelt with a second term, which unfortunately began with the country slipping back into recession in the spring of 1937. With that kind of good news you can forgive Hollywood for imagining, if only tentatively, that America had turned a corner. In the first scene of the 1936 screwball classic My Man Godfrey, we find William Powell's Godfrey in shabby surroundings, living in a shack in a garbage dump on the...

The Tisza leader campaigned as ‘Orbán 2.0,’ but days into office, he launched a Tusk-style parliamentary coup, purging conservatives, shutting down state media, and surrendering to Brussels on migration and foreign policy. Hungary’s new Prime Minister Peter Magyar stands next to Anita Orban, incoming Minister of Foreign Affairs, during the swearing-in ceremony for the cabinet at the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest on May 12, 2026. Attila KISBENEDEK / AFP. How do you win electorally having lost culturally? For Brussels, when it came to Hungary, that was the challenge. For years, now-former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán proved quite the maverick—at...

Saturday Night Live closed out its 51st season on Saturday night, where Will Ferrell returned to host the long-running sketch comedy series... where he portrayed a ghostly Jeffrey Epstein... “Don’t worry, Donald, it’s me, your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein,” he said. “Jeffrey, I thought you were dead,” Johnson’s Trump replied. “I am, remember? I killed myself. Wink!” “You know me, I keep busy, mahjong every Wednesday with Stalin and John Wayne Gacy. That guy has stories,” Ferrell’s Epstein said... Trump gave him a run-down on his “fun summer plans,” ...“Well, you know, we’ve got the World Cup UFC fight on...

Joni Pugh feels like she’s stuck in the middle of a bitter family feud between her president and her congressman. As a loyal Republican, she likes them both – and that is where her predicament begins... “I’m not putting Trump down at all because I’m very much a fan of his, but I’m still going to vote for Thomas. He’s a great guy and is very careful about how he wants our taxpayer money to be spent.” Massie has fought the establishment of both parties since first winning his seat 14 years ago in the tea party era as a...

A statement released by Locorriere's management said: 'It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dennis Locorriere, who, after a long and courageous battle with kidney disease, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on May 16, 2026. 'Dennis faced his illness with remarkable strength, dignity, and resilience throughout, and remained deeply cherished by all who knew him. 'He will be remembered for his warmth, love, and the lasting impact he had on those around him. 'We would like to thank everyone who supported Dennis during his journey and ask for privacy for his loved ones...

For too many years, congressional “Republicans” have been voted into office who are really stealth Marxists or Democrats. Local or worldwide Marxists buy a candidate, run him, then plug him into office, where the money determines the agenda. This is what happened with Biden. He had no idea what was going on while the people who bought the election for him just plugged him in, then played him like a thumb drive. Samuel Ronan and Kate Barr in North Carolina are two more recent examples. Ronan, a former Democrat candidate for the DNC chair, ran in the 2026 GOP primary...

A veteran Maldivian diver alleges the five Italians who died trapped in a deep underwater cave didn’t have the required government authorization to undertake such a perilous dive, and would still be alive today if the rules had been followed. A group of five Italian scuba divers died exploring the Alimathaa cave in the Vaavu Atoll Thursday, at a depth of about 160 feet, according to Italy’s Foreign Ministry. Shafraz Naeem, a instructor-trainer with 30 years of technical diving experience and advisor to the Maldives National Defence Force, has done more than 50 dives in the cave where the group...

The Trump administration continues to release tranches of previously classified documents on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the preferred term that includes traditional sightings of UFOs. “Traditional sightings” is a strange admission, don’t you think? Aliens and UFOs have been part of our national conversation for eighty years, long enough to constitute a “tradition,” even though the public has few answers for the questions this “tradition” brings. Whether the U.S. government will ever provide real answers to unexplained events that have perplexed Americans for generations seems a secondary issue at this point. The more pressing question is this: If our government...

The Viking Herald reports that two rare English "Lamb of God" coins were recently unearthed in Jutland. During the eleventh century, English monarchs undertook various initiatives to try to ward off seemingly unending Viking attacks. Around 1009, King Æthelred the Unready even minted unusual coins in the hope of obtaining divine protection. The objects feature a lamb and a cross on one side -- a Christian motif alluding to Christ's sacrifice -- and a dove on the other, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Not only did these coins fail in their objective, they became somewhat coveted by Viking raiders,...

An Amtrak train hit a car in northeast Harris County, Texas, injuring an older driver and a boy around 10 or 12 years old (thought to be father and son). The car edged just past the lowered crossbars and paid no heed to the train's horn. The train was traveling at 60 mph and struck them. It seems from the news report that the conductor later found the vehicle in some sort of body of water. Here's the local authorities on Facebook: Somehow, the pair survived that. However, according to ABC13, The Amtrak train conductor tried to assist following the...

Democrats don’t want to admit it publicly, but they are still the same party that tried to ‘Defund the Police’ a few years ago. We know this because last week was National Police Week, and a Republican rep. from Iowa named Zach Nunn introduced a resolution to honor law enforcement officers. 173 Democrats voted against it. Every single Republican voted for it. This would seem to indicate that the Democrats have not changed at all. How else can their behavior be interpreted? FOX News reported: 173 House Democrats vote against resolution honoring police amid rising attacks House Democrats split over...

In both medieval times and now, the Crusades weren’t spontaneous Christian colonialism; they were efforts to claw back Islamic conquest. In yesterday’s subscribers-only newsletter, I posited that Tommy Robinson is to the Islamo-socialist government of the UK what Lech Walesa was to the communist government in Poland. Through his courage, Walesa managed to knock down the first domino that led to the Soviet Union’s collapse. Robinson’s courage shows signs of doing the same against the UK’s current morally corrupt government, as evidenced by the absolutely massive Unite the Kingdom rally in London today. The rally wasn’t just humongously large; it...

There is much more to life than just everyday boarding a helicopter to save the world. Some enjoy the experience so much they literally prance enroute and choose not to have their hand held in safety, even if the hand to be held is that of the President of the United States The video is an indicator of such happiness and anticipation it doesn't fit into one of Free Republic's topics

The one-year deal is worth up to $25M with $22M guaranteed Aaron Rodgers is returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers — again. Finally. The four-time NFL MVP agreed to a one-year contract worth $22 million guaranteed with the Steelers on Saturday, a source confirmed. The deal can climb to $25 million with incentives. The Steelers had expected this to be the case perhaps weeks or even months ago, but Rodgers took his methodical, sweet time before committing. Now, it's happening. So, we are about to witness Rodgers in his 22nd NFL season at age 42 (and 43 when that comes along...

The US has recovered four distinct species of extraterrestrial life from crashed UFOs, a former CIA-funded government researcher sensationally claimed this week. Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program advisor and CIA-funded researcher, made the claim alongside “Age of Disclosure” director Dan Farrah on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast on Thursday. “People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” the 89-year-old said. “Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types...

Alec Baldwin didn't take kindly to Elon Musk disparaging Lupita Nyong'o's looks over her casting as Helen of Troy in the upcoming film The Odyssey based on Homer's epic poem. The Tesla CEO grumbled that Nyong'o couldn't play Zeus's daughter, whose exceptional beauty sparked the 10-year Trojan War after she was taken to Troy by the Trojan prince Paris, according to Greek mythology. Nyong'o will also be playing the role of Helen's sister Clytemnestra, who was beautiful but not enough to launch a thousand ships. Baldwin defended Nyong'o via Instagram: 'Dear Elon… but she IS the most beautiful woman in...

It’s been a long time since I have done an update on the homelessness situation in San Francisco. The reason is that I have avoided the issue until sufficient evidence had accumulated to make the obvious conclusion completely definitive and undeniable. It was all the way back in 2018 that some of San Francisco’s foremost do-gooders, led by billionaire Salesforce founder Marc Benioff, organized a referendum to implement a new payroll tax to raise the revenue to solve the homelessness problem once and for all. The referendum was designed to raise some $300 million per year, on top of San...
