Plans are underway to create “Freedom Cities” — privately controlled corporate enclaves that would operate outside federal oversight — across the United States.According to Wired, a coalition of tech billionaires, venture capitalists, and corporate advocacy groups is drafting congressional legislation and meeting with the Trump administration to bring these experimental cities to U.S. soil.The outlets reports that these cities would be “free from certain federal laws,” allowing unregulated human longevity trials, nuclear reactor startups, and unrestricted infrastructure projects to move forward without government approval. As Wired puts it:The goal of these cities would be to have places where anti-aging clinical...

More frightening than the speech, is the willingness of Americans to gorge on the rhetoric. I actually missed Biden’s Thursday-night speech in real-time, but when I woke up yesterday morning, I discovered that what I thought were memes, were actually soundbites and unmanipulated images.

The lighting and staging of Biden’s speech evoked pure dystopia — all I could see was the wicked High Chancellor Adam Sutler from the film V for Vendetta. No...

A grad student in Michigan received a threatening response during a chat with Google's AI chatbot Gemini. In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults, Google's Gemini responded with this threatening message: "This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. Please die. Please." The 29-year-old grad student...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ website allows job seekers to choose from among nine different pronoun options when applying for a position on her campaign — leading some social media users to blast the Democrat for having “more pronouns than policies.” Applicants can select from the more mainstream “he/him,” “she/her” and “they/them” pronouns or choose less conventional gender-neutral options, including “xe/xem,” “ze/hir,” “ey/em,” and “hir/hir.” “Hu/hu,” which indicates that a person wants to emphasize their humanity over their gender, and “Fae/faer,” which denotes that a person is fluid between multiple genders but not masculine genders, are also presented as optionsPotential hires...

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned Friday that President Biden's poor showing at Thursday night's CNN Presidential Debate calls into question who's really running the country. "He does not seem to be the person who's making the decisions in the White House," RFK Jr. told Lawrence Jones on "Fox & Friends" Friday. "I think our government is being run by anonymous men in lanyards, and it's scary." Biden's performance against former President Trump in the first debate of the 2024 election cycle in Atlanta sent shockwaves across the Democratic Party as voters grow increasingly concerned about Biden's fitness for...

DeSantis was on the latest This Week on ABC and told host Jon Karl that Trump wants a party defined solely by loyalty to him, and not by commitment to principles or “delivering” on them for voters. “Is that what’s going on?” asked Karl. “Because we are now seeing this stampede of elected Republican officials endorsing Donald Trump.” DESANTIS: Well, you’ll have to ask them. I mean, I can tell you this. I mean, I do know elected officials who encouraged me to run and say they’re going to vote for me in a primary, but yet have endorsed Donald...

VIDEOThe most shocking thing about watching Joe Biden returning on his FAILED visit to Israel aboard Air Force One might not have been his obvious physical deterioration along with his brain freezes. We already knew he was quite frail and mentally challenged. Instead it might have been the sight of John Kirby standing near him because he appeared to be incredibly short. I never before gave any thought to Kirby's height because I have always seen him speaking and answering questions by himself at a podium so I assumed he was of at least average height. However, aboard Air Force...

VIDEOFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis must realize by now that he made the biggest mistake of his life by running for president in this election cycle. Common sense should have told him there was NO WAY he could go up against President Donald Trump. However hubris, plus campaign consultants fortified with Murdoch money, convinced him otherwise. And now he wishes he could somehow go back in time and NOT run since that way he would have been the odds on favorite for 2028. Instead his political career is in ashes and you can read it on his face. He is just...

It seems like Joe Biden keeps getting worse every day—and the American people are noticing. Whether making things up or just being incoherent, he keeps deteriorating. He has terrible approval numbers, and the majority have made it clear that they don't think he should be running again. So you wouldn't expect people to be jumping up and down with glee that, at least at this point, he appears to be running. But when people were asked for the one word they thought of when they thought of Joe Biden, the response had to be making the Biden team tear their...

He made it awkward with one fell scoop. President Biden raised eyebrows Wednesday when he invited children to join him on an ice cream run, telling the youngsters that “Daddy owes you.” “I want to say one thing to your children. I know some really great ice cream places around here and Daddy owes you, so talk to me afterwards,” Biden, 80, told a packed crowd in the East Room of the White House, according to a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) by RNC Research. The seemingly off-script remark came during the octogenarian’s speech marking the first anniversary of...

It’s bad enough when people tweet horrible things and then later figure out they were perhaps pretty horrible and shouldn’t have been tweeted. Sure, we still make fun of them but at least they appear to have some sort of self-awareness. These old tweets from E. Jean Carroll? Yikes. So much yikes. And they’re all still up. Big thanks to Hollaria Briden for doing the dirty (literally) work and finding these tweets.

A Eugene, Oregon, health teacher asked his freshmen students to describe their sexual fantasies in one writing assignment and to list fellow students with whom they would like to have sex in another. Parents were furious and Churchill High School is now reconsidering its under-fire curriculum. The teacher and sports coach wrote that students must, “Write a short story of a paragraph or two [about] a sexual fantasy …” Students were instructed to “choose 3 items [romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather boa, flavored syrup,] to use in your story. “Your story should show that you can show and receive...

A Harvard Medical School course teaches enrollees how to provide “affirming care” for patients involved in adulterous and sadomasochist sexual lifestyles. The continuing education course, “Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health: A Course for the Whole Healthcare Team,” is not yet scheduled for 2023, but the university wants to open the class up as a national learning opportunity for healthcare professionals. The class is offered by the Fenway Institute, an LGBT advocacy organization. One section of the 2022 course agenda contained the presentation “Alternative Sexualities in Healthcare: Providing Affirming Care for Patients Who Engage in Kink, BDSM, Fetish, Swinging, Ethical Non-Monogamy,...

“Here’s Joey!” Social media users roasted Joe Biden over “creepy” selfies with kids where the president is seen lurking in the background of children’s selfies with his face up against a window. Biden gave kids sitting in the Lemon Press Juice Shop on Nantucket an up-close and personal look when he approached the store window and smiled for some photos, a social media post from the Nantucket Current shows. The president, who is on Nantucket with his family for Thanksgiving, was shopping along the strip for Small Business Saturday when he stopped to meet his little fans. “There’s Joe! Oh...
