Another day, another leak. President Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and others in the National Security Council have used Gmail to conduct official government business according to a leak to The Washington Post. Mike Waltz is already under fire for adding The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat group with high-ranking Trump Administration officials discussing the successful attack on Houthi terrorists in Yemen. According to The Post, Mike Waltz did not transmit classified information over his Gmail account – unlike Hillary Clinton while she was the head of the Department of State. The Washington Post reported: Members...

In a survey of 475 Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers, 76% said that as currently practiced, AI research was “unlikely” or even “very unlikely” to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI is the hypothetical milestone where machines have advanced enough in order to learn as well or better than can humans. Thus, cold water is being thrown on predictions made early in the AI boom that current AI models only need more data, hardware, energy and money to eventually reach the goal of surpassing human intelligence. But current state-of-the-art AI models aren’t making much progress. In fact, most researchers from the...

"With our commercial assets, we have observed five different objects in space maneuvering in and out and around each other in synchronicity and in control," the U.S. Space Force's Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein told the 16th annual McAleese Defense Programs conference in Arlington, Virginia on March 18. "That's what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do on-orbit space operations from one satellite to another."Guetlein's stark comment about China signals a break with the past. "This marks the end of the Western-American-liberal dream of nations leaving wars on Earth so...

Hopefully, someone out there in FR Land can help me with a UPS Worldship problem. Last weekend the Shipping computer at one of my IT client's just up and died. I wasn't really worried since I do a daily iDrive backup every evening. So I purchased a new computer, got it set up, and after jumping through the usual hoops with UPS, I got Worldship installed. Next up, was to install the UPS database (address, past invoices, etc.) from my iDrive backup file. I've done this before when I was upgrading machines where you just use the Worldship program to...

🚨 #BREAKING: Elon Musk just exposed the federal government spent almost $1 BILLION on a short survey asking whether or not people like National Parks This is disgusting. “We routinely encounter a waste of a billion dollars or more. Casually. This 10 question survey could’ve been done with Survey Monkey for $10,000. The government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that.,” Elon said. Wow. Full interview: https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1905405372921184443

It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats praised Signal App as the “gold standard” of encrypted messaging. It was The Atlantic that published the report praising Signal and in the report they admit that Hillary Clinton and Obama staffers used the app. Via Patriots Are In Control. Senator Mark Warner used Signal to meet with Russia Collusion hoaxer Christopher Steele. Yep. Democrats are such hypocrites…Senator Mark Warner (VA) used Signal to meet with the disgraced Christopher Steele to obtain the Steele Dossier. pic.twitter.com/1Vkx3CsEn4— Amy Kremer (@AmyKremer) March 25, 2025Despite all of this, Democrats are trying desperately to make “Signalgate” a...

A Republican lawmaker is demanding that the man responsible for leaking President Donald Trump’s tax returns in 2019 testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Responsible for one of the largest data breaks in the Internal Revenue Service’s history, the ex-IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for leaking the tax documents of roughly 400,000 wealthy Americans – including Trump – to media outlets in 2019 and 2020. Littlejohn’s short sentence results from the DOJ charging him with only one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax information and then offering a plea deal, which Republicans blasted as...

Here's the starting point for this article. For almost 100 years the Education Establishment has maneuvered, plotted, and schemed to eliminate phonics, and to make American children memorize sight-words. The pitch has always been sweeping: phonics can’t possibly work for a complex language like English, and sight-words are the only way to go. Teachers, students, and parents have been bullied relentlessly to embrace what phonics experts (such as Rudolf Flesch) assume is a fraud and a nonstarter. How does the ordinary citizen deal with this? Well, it's been rough because the professors at Harvard, etc. do not play games. They're...

Hi everyone. Is anyone else having problems with X/Twitter? I cannot seem to log in on either computer. It just keeps telling me that "something went wrong." My account does that periodically. I'm thinking of deactivating it.

At this point you have to wonder if some in Europe want the Ukraine war just to continue when they keep spitting in the eye of the United States' efforts to bring a diplomatic end to the war. Elon Musk responded on X to someone suggesting he wasn't criticizing Vladimir Putin enough and that he was only criticizing Ukraine. Musk just squashed that thought with a little bit of history about how he challenged Putin and how vital his Starlink was to the Ukrainian army. I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink...

The rapid-fire news cycle hurts pretty much everyone. It makes it hard to focus, hard to learn, and ultimately distorts the importance of events.So today I’m traveling back in time one whole month for a reality check on DeepSeek R1, the impressive large language model released by a Chinese hedge fund in December.On Monday, January 27, the debut of the DeepSeek iOS app ​caused Nvidia’s stock to crater​ 16% in a day.Want to guess what has happened in the 24 days since then?The stock is exactly where it was a month ago, before the DeepSeek “crisis.”And if you look at...

Just watch the television Yeah, you'll see there's something going on Got no love for politicians Or that crazy scene in D.C. It's just a power mad town But the time is ripe for changes There's a growing feeling That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due I used to trust the media To tell me the truth, tell us the truth But now I've seen the payoffs Everywhere I look Who do you trust when everyone's a crook? I'm tired of all this bullshit They keep selling me on T.V. About the communist plan And...

They must be sweating bullets in the Washington Swamp. Kash Patel was just confirmed by a 51-49 Senate vote as FBI director, and that means there is going to be a caravan of DOGE trucks hauling out the dead bodies right soon. Especially after the FBI went all-in on the Deep State campaign to defenestrate Donald Trump in 2016 and after, the level of lawlessness and blatant attacks on constitutional processes emanating from the J. Edgar Hoover Building literally knew no bounds. Soon we will have black and white documentation that the FBI not only knew all along that the...

The mainstream media is in the habit of labeling something a “conspiracy theory” whenever they are attempting to discredit a particular point of view. Of course such “conspiracy theories” have been proven to actually be true time after time. Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been caught in lie after lie in recent years. As a result, trust in the media is the lowest that it has ever been in the entire history of our country. At this point, most people realize that our largest media outlets are going to push the agenda of the globalists that own them, and they...

Elon Musk posted a very concerning revelation on X. It depicts the Department of Defense, through DARPA, paying Thomson Reuters Special Services for “Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).” Sounds ominous. What makes it worse is that this was established in 2018… for Covid. Wait, what? Here’s Musk’s post: Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception”. That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam. Just wow. Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception”. That...

Windows 7, I know, that "risky-obsolete-not-up-to-date OS from MS" of 18 years ago. In any case guys, a simple question for you: does any one on FR know which VPN will work with Win 7? I know, I know...I don't want to get into a debate regarding "You really should consider updating to the latest system." At this stage in our lives our choices are: 1) staying with Win 7 or 2) getting completely off the grid. What would be a VPN for Win 7? Many thanks in advance!

Several Meta employees who said they received positive performance ratings in their mid-year reviews last year had their jobs cut Monday, as the company let go of nearly 4,000 workers in its latest round of job reductions. Business Insider spoke to eight terminated employees, who said they received “At or Above Expectations” ratings — the middle tier in Meta’s three-level mid-year review system — in their 2024 assessments. These employees said they were surprised to learn their ratings had been downgraded to “Meets Most,” one of the lower tiers in Meta’s year-end performance system that refers to meeting most, but...

No joke: Wired wants you to believe this is a bad thing. The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure. WWW.WIRED.COM https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/ "Elon Musk's Government Takeover" Gotta love the pea-sized brains over at Wired. Elon Musk's takeover of federal government infrastructure is ongoing, and at the center of things is a coterie of engineers who are barely out of — and in at least one case, purportedly still in — college. Elon isn't taking over anything. He's...
