The podcasters and senior Trump administration officials who attached themselves like parasites to the president to draw power from him because they have no power of their own are losing in Iran. They’re losing because they have no influence over Trump or his MAGA base, which supports the campaign to stop the terror regime’s nuclear program, by anywhere from 82% to 95%. They’re losing because they lost the argument over Israel on the ground, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is proving to be America’s greatest wartime ally since Winston Churchill held off the Nazis until Franklin Delano Roosevelt brought America...

A once-in-a-century crater formed on the moon right under our noses. A routine search of images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter camera found a fresh crater as wide as two American football fields, planetary scientist Mark Robinson reported March 17 at the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Meeting in The Woodlands, Texas. The crater is 225 meters wide and formed in April or May 2024, Robinson said. According to predictions based on other lunar landmarks, a crater that big should form only once in 139 years. The discovery can help highlight the risks impacts pose to future astronauts. One of the...

In the Italian city of Turin — with the help of local government and the Catholic Church — public and ecclesiastical spaces are being taken over by Muslims celebrating the end of Ramadan with mass prayer. This is “Interfaith” in action. In the same way, Christians can go to Mecca or Riyadh and celebrate Easter in public spaces, right? Right? Just try it and see what happens. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Il Giornale: Public spaces “occupied” by Ramadan: Here is the axis between Muslims and the LeftIn Turin, Mayor Lo Russo is in...

The move by Moody's is the latest sign of distress in the private credit world. Retail investors have been rushing to withdraw funds, running into gates amid concerns about upcoming credit losses, especially related to software [company] loans.

Democrats and their media propaganda arm have kept one narrative vibrantly alive for at least six years: 2020 was the most honest, fraud-free election in American history. As evidence they say: “because we say so,” and present Joe Biden’s 306 electoral votes and his 81.2 million popular votes, the most ever in a presidential election, far more than those of Barack Obama--The Lightbringer—in either of his elections. Normal Americans have always been skeptical of those assertions, as Biden, who ran a campaign from his basement and was clearly already in the throes of dementia, shouldn’t have been able to win...

The Department of Education (ED) just took a big step closer to shutting down. The Trump administration announced on Thursday an interagency agreement between the ED and the Treasury to move student lending operations to the Treasury, which will "assume operational responsibility for collecting on defaulted Federal student loan debt and provide operational support to ED’s efforts to return borrowers to repayment," the ED said in a release. "I think we've been very clear about this last week that this is a multiphase process," Nicholas Kent, Undersecretary of Education, told Fox News Digital on Monday. Throughout the 2024 campaign, then-candidate...

Iran launched a fresh wave of missiles at Israel Tuesday – only a day after President Trump said Washington and Tehran were having “constructive conversations” to end the conflict. Six people were injured following a strike in Tel Aviv and one munition, which damaged buildings and cars in the Israel city, contained 100 kilograms of explosives, the Times of Israel reported. Three buildings were significantly damaged by the Iranian warhead, according to Home Front Command official Col. Miki David. David said the projectile appeared smaller than conventional warheads fired by Iran. Iran also fired missiles on northern and southern Israel...

Coastal Florida towns are playing hot potato with spring breakers who use social media to organize “takeovers” of gatherings by drunken flash mobs, leading to violence and mass arrests. Cops locked down Daytona Beach this week after a string of shootings and a beach “takeover” that ended in a mass stampede of high-school and college students fleeing for their lives. That single “takeover” resulted in 133 arrests and prompted authorities to turn the entire beach into a party quarantine zone, with doubled fines for citations and strict limits on gathering sizes, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. Daytona had...

I'm wondering if there is a way to program the news in Free Republic in specific ways. Can you create your own feed? Have a feed of just good news? Or have a feed that excludes topics that you hate. Is there anyway control this or are we at the mercy of whoever posts what they post. I know there are trends in the news, for example, Epstein or trans gender topics, but sometimes you have had enough of a subject to the point of not wanting to even see the headlines... because these posts will show up. So if...

The Paramount+ 'Star Trek' show will end after its already filmed second season.So much for Paramount+‘s Gen Z Star Trek show.The streamer has decided to end Star Trek: Starfleet Academy after season two. Starfleet Academy had recently finished airing its debut season. Paramount+ had (rather optimistically, as it turned out) already ordered a second season, which recently wrapped production. Starfleet Academy has been a polarizing entry in the Trek canon. Many critics have celebrated the show for focusing on a younger generation and its coming-of-age themes. On social media, the show has been a frequent target of mockery from those...

@VigilantFox Ted Cruz says Tucker Carlson is “the most dangerous demagogue in America.” “He hates Israel.” “He’s attacking Jews on a daily basis.” “He’s also said there’s no one on planet Earth he hates more than Christian Zionists. And he’s identified by name, me and Mike Huckabee, as the two people he hates the most.” “He had Nick Fuentes, who is an open Nazi. And by the way, I don’t use the term Nazi lightly.” “Tucker has also defended Mamdani and defended Maduro.” “Tucker hates President Trump. He opposes everything about his foreign policy, and he’s attacking President Trump on...
