Does that song make you angry or did it make you angry when you first heard it... Getting back to "DEI" I didn't say it wasn't a problem or isn't a problem I would be denying my own experience. I worked in television news and right before I was drummed out as a drunk in 1990 I could see corporate efforts to bring in "Minority" hires. Marxist-Leninist thinking was in the heart of one of those hires she did...

A couple of days ago, a Substack called Doomberg had a piece titled “False Utopia.” The piece featured a discussion of a post of mine from February 2023 with the title “We Must Demand A Demonstration Project Of A Mainly Renewables-Based Electrical Grid.” My post argued that we should demand a demonstration project of a mainly renewables-based electrical grid that would include all the key elements — generation mainly from solar and wind, plus sufficient back-up or storage to make the whole thing work for the long term without involvement of the evil fossil fuels, plus any other necessary elements...

Some of us miss Humblegunner for his GOOD work here. I could take over in a gentler, kinder way, but I don't think my liver could take it.

One hundred days into the bait-and-switch presidency, the “America Last” doctrine of The Hologram and his ChiCom-compromised administration is red-pilling Americans with each passing day – at least those who are not themselves compromised and/or Communists like those associated with the Black Lives Matter movement. Here is a short list of the America Last policies implemented to date (not all-inclusive by any means): Locking down the Capitol like the average Third World/Communist dictatorship Holding 6 January activists in solitary confinement without charges Opening the Mexican border to a flood of illegal aliens (and all the drug and human trafficking, spreading...

Hillary Clinton appears to have established multiple email addresses for her private use, and possibly the use of her aides, under the domain of “clintonemail.com,” according to a prominent member of the hacking community who supplied independent research data, conducted with high-tech tools, to Fox News. The hacker used an open-source tool, publicly available, called “The Harvester” to search a variety of data sources – including well-known platforms such as Google, Bing, LinkedIn, Twitter and others – for any stored references to email addresses seen using a particular domain, in this case clintonemail.com. Hackers working under contract for private firms,...

AUSTIN, June 29 - While state Republican leaders were blaming themselves for the demise of the so-called sanctuary cities bill, Hispanic legislators were rejoicing. “Latino citizens who faced racial profiling and discrimination under this bill can breathe a sigh of relief,” said state Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio. “This bill would have done little to curb undocumented immigration, but it would have forced a sizeable portion of the Texas population to prove their citizenship, perhaps time and again, just because of the...

RUSH: Folks, I've been trying to -- as you know by virtue of yesterday's program -- I've been trying to veer off of the Bin Laden, Pakistan story, but I tell you, they just keep releasing stuff here that draws me, and thus you, back to it. For example, according to the UK Guardian -- this a leftist newspaper -- President Bush struck a deal with Pakistan's President Musharraf ten years ago that allows America to go into Pakistan to kill terrorists like Bin Laden without the Pakistanis knowing about it.

National Health Service patients are paying for enhanced levels of care and operations that are no longer available free at hospitals across England. The superior treatment for fee-paying NHS patients has been criticised as creating a two-tier health service and privatisation by stealth. This week an NHS trust in Yorkshire will become the latest to offer the service, with a new dermatology clinic performing operations that were once free of charge on patients who are prepared to pay. The operations will be carried out in an NHS hospital by NHS doctors and nurses during NHS time. The growth in add-on...

On the flight home this morning, I was unfortunate enough to have a bleeder sit next to me. By bleeder, I mean he was invading my space because he was large and his body was spilling over into my seat. I've seen worse cases than what I had today but let's hear your experiences.

I did it!!! For years I have been tying to post an article during normal freeping hours that nobody would comment on for over an hour. It is quite a challenge really. FR has a wide range of interests, and if an article is too weird, then people will comment on its weirdness.
