Free Republic

Janet mentioned this to me in a thread yesterday but I dont want it buried... https://rumble.com/c/FreeperVideosShe says starting in the new year she intends to donate 40% of the Ad revenue from the channel to Free Republic as a donation every month. I couldn't think of a better and more sustainable way to help the site and keep the lights on. Think about it. FR generates a lot of clicks so why not make sure the site benefits? It's a no-brainer. I notice currently there are 384 followers. Hopefully we can improve on that! Follow the account on Rumble and...

The FCC has turned down a subsidy. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rejected Starlink’s request for an $885 million subsidy, a decision that has sparked controversy, especially among its commissioners. Brendan Carr, an FCC Commissioner, has voiced a strong dissent, suggesting the decision is politically motivated and not based on objective legal, factual, or policy grounds. According to the FCC, “After reviewing all of the information submitted by Starlink, the Bureau ultimately concluded that Starlink had not shown that it was reasonably capable of fulfilling RDOF’s requirements to deploy a network of the scope, scale, and size required to...

I was trying to catch up on yesterday's Steve Bannon program, since I could not watch it on Saturday (it's the Sabbath). But the web page is not functioning. I tried a different browser, but had the same results. You can see the thumbnails for the different episodes, but if you click on them, nothing happens. They won't play. It was functioning earlier, but now it won't play. Did some libtard managed a DOS attack or something?

Critics of the Biden administration on social media appeared grateful after the "Community Notes" feature on X, formerly Twitter, hit White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre with a crowdsourced fact-check. Conservative X users celebrated the feature for attaching context to Jean-Pierre’s statement about President Biden’s economic policies - dubbed "Bidenomics" - being the cause for "good economic news." The fact-check asserted that it’s not Biden’s doing that the economy looks better, but rather that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy are continuing to dissolve. Jean-Pierre shared the X post after the U.S. jobs report dropped on Friday....

I'm just wondering. With cameras getting to be on par with the human eye, why do I need a point of vulnerability to get into my home like a big picture window or bay windows, when I just put a camera in the most optimized location in the front and just shine its image on a blank wall?

Our goal is to provide radical transparency and a better grasp of the U.S. Mainstream Media by listing publishers (owners, majority voting shareholders, and donors of titles) considered major US daily news sources. We have time-stamped this index – May 11, 2021. To give the index structure, we have chosen to use third-party tracking of monthly views, unless reported at the source. In the case of cable TV, we combined daily prime-time audiences with monthly views. Our ranking of traffic is by no means a perfect science. Our focus was on ownership.

Washington Post employees and Washington-Baltimore Guild members who took part in one of the largest labor strikes in Washington Post history, criticized the leadership of the outlet’s owner, one of the world’s richest men, Jeff Bezos. "I think that our owner has the power to take accountability for the fact that his publisher that he chose made poor business decisions that got us in this mess," Washington Post reporter and Washington Post Guild News Co-Chair Katie Mettler told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Mettler’s comments targeted Bezos’ decision to entrust The Post to its CEO and publisher Fred Ryan, whom...

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office arrested hundreds of suspects accused of ripping off retail chains in a massive anti-theft operation, including disrupting a likely international gift card scam the office has never seen before. "Retail theft in Sacramento County is out of control. Over the course of seven days, sheriff's detectives conducted an operation targeting thieves and large retailers throughout our region. This operation was an overwhelming success, but we can't fight this alone," Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper said in a video of the operation. The sheriff’s office carried out "Operation Bad Elf" to curb retail theft at big...

After a California grand jury handed down an indictment of first son Hunter Biden, political analysts predicted the bombshell would put President Biden in a self-constructed "trap" after he again claimed allegations he was in influence-peddling cahoots with his brother and son were "lies." A grand jury empaneled in the Central District of California – which comprises Los Angeles – handed down an indictment against Hunter Biden. "I think a lot of people felt … that David Weiss was going to let these charges skate and Hunter Biden would never be held accountable for making millions of dollars overseas. And...

Diamond is a promising material for data storage, and now scientists have demonstrated a new way to cram even more data onto it, down to a single atom. The technique bypasses a physical limit by writing data to the same spots in different-colored light. Diamond has great potential as a data storage medium – recent developments have produced 2-inch (5-cm) wafers of the stuff that can store the equivalent of a billion Blu-Ray discs. Intriguingly, it works not by writing data to the diamond itself but to tiny nitrogen defects in the material. These defects can absorb light, earning them...

From dating sites to phishing emails, bad actors are taking advantage of artificial intelligence to create more realistic scams. They are now infiltrating dating apps to try and create a fake relationship, and eventually trick victims into sending money. Scammers are using bots at scale to create a massive number of accounts. Then, they'll utilize AI to chat to victims in a completely authentic way, Kevin Gosschalk, CEO of cybersecurity company Arkose Labs, told FOX Business. With AI, they "are able to… perfectly speak to a person to the point where they feel like the victim is kind of on...

FAYETTEVILLE, AR — As the December days began to tick away, a local man grew so desperate in his attempt to buy his wife a great Christmas gift that he decided to reach out to the National Security Agency to find out what she wants. "I figured it's my best shot," said Willard McBane. "She's always so difficult to buy for, and she doesn't ever give me any hints, so I knew I needed to bring the NSA in on this one." At first, Willard's attempts to ask for help were subtle. "I just started speaking out loud whenever I...

Miami-Dade County The man set ablaze claims the incident happened after the suspect asked him for $60 to help fix her car; she, however, claims she was being sex trafficked. A Florida woman has been arrested after she allegedly set fire to her Tinder date and his car, which was "engulfed in flames." But Destiny Lenai Johnson, 25, and the man in question tell two very different stories when it comes to what went down during the November 25th incident. According to an arrest report, via Local 10, the two connected on Tinder and met up in person for the...

WASHINGTON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Unidentified governments are surveilling smartphone users via their apps' push notifications, a U.S. senator warned on Wednesday. In a letter to the Department of Justice, Senator Ron Wyden said foreign officials were demanding the data from Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google and Apple (AAPL.O). Although details were sparse, the letter lays out yet another path by which governments can track smartphones. Apps of all kinds rely on push notifications to alert smartphone users to incoming messages, breaking news, and other updates. These are the audible "dings" or visual indicators users get when they receive an email or...

(Image credit: Shutterstock)A team of researchers from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Eindhoven University of Technology, and the University of L’Aquila have achieved a groundbreaking transmission that demonstrates the possibility of transmitting up to 22.9 petabits per second (Pb/s) through a single optic cable composed of multiple fibers. This is a significant increase in transmission capacity, as the previous world record was 10.66 Pb/s.The old record was broken last June, with 1.8 Pb/s by researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. Then it was broken multiple times...

"War. War never changes."This actually looks pretty good. It's got a strong cast coming together also. Anything with Michael Emerson is bound to be good.

Author and journalist Michael Shellenberger has said that “U.S. and U.K. military contractors” have used “sophisticated psychological operations and disinformation tactics… against the American people” in sworn testimony in the U.S. House of Representatives. In a hearing of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government chaired by Jim Jordan (R-OH) on suppression of free speech by the government, Shellenberger presented the information he received from a whistleblower about the origins of the so-called “Censorship Industrial complex.” Shellenberger, one of the “Twitter Files” authors, coined the phrase “Censorship Industrial Complex” to describe the network of government and private entities...
