Disney has attacked California Governor Newsom for his 'arbitrary' COVID guidelines that will keep Disneyland 'shuttered for the foreseeable future', after the state announced further delays to reopening large theme parks Tuesday. Disneyland Resort's President Ken Potrock blasted state officials in a statement Tuesday saying the reopening guidelines are 'unworkable' and will force 'thousands more people out of work'. The outrage came after the state released protocols for reopening California theme parks Tuesday, revealing it will still be several weeks before Disneyland in Anaheim, California, can start welcoming guests back to the so-called 'Happiest Place on Earth'. Tensions have been...

Faced with a crippled cruise industry as a one-time cash cow, PortMiami wants to slash required rent payments for ships and hope business picks up in time to cover debt payments for an ongoing expansion. Once federal regulators lift the existing “no sail” order on cruises, cruise lines would resume rental fees for ships, but not have to meet minimum payments. Kuryla said the agreements were tailored to keep Miami poised to remain the top cruise port once ships begin filling up again, and reduce berthing costs enough for companies to consider leaving the port with vessels at a fraction...

There was a time when Kevin Van Ausdal had not yet been called a “loser” and “a disgrace” and hustled out of Georgia. He had not yet punched a wall, or been labeled a “communist,” or a person “who’d probably cry like a baby if you put a gun in his face.” He did not yet know who was going to be the Republican nominee for Congress in his conservative district in northwestern Georgia: the well-known local neurosurgeon, or the woman he knew vaguely as a person who had openly promoted conspiracies including something about a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - As of Monday, more than 635,000 absentee ballots have been cast in North Carolina. State data shows about 98 percent of them have been accepted, but that still leaves thousands of others with issues. Now voters have a chance to fix them. **SNIP** The state is now directing county boards of election to notify voters about problems with their ballots so they can correct them. “We’re going to push to get everything out as fast as we can. We’ve got an entire team working on it,” said Wake County Director of Elections Gary Sims. He said...

Douglas Police arrested 34-year-old Kiara Dudley, of Douglas, and charged her with assault and battery on an elderly person causing injury after the incident at the intersection of Main and Webster streets.

Hello Freepers. Mrs. R2 and I are traveling and I’m currently Freeping at you from Mena AR. I was trying to explain to my wife last night the significance of Mena in relation to the Clinton Family Crime Foundation activities from so many years ago. But I couldn’t remember all the details. I seem to remember the Mena airport was a focal point for criminal activities but I couldn’t exactly recall the details. It’s been many years since the Clintons and Mena were infamous.

A "second laptop" linked to Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, has been seized in Ukraine, according to a top Ukrainian lawmaker. Andrii Derkach says the device was retrieved by "Ukrainian law enforcement" from Hunter's Ukraine business contacts and claims that it contains further evidence of alleged corruption involving the Bidens.

Here is more 'anecdotal evidence' of the support out there for President Trump and VP Pence. Members of the Republican Party of Iowa County gathered yesterday (Sunday, October 18, 2020) for a 'Sign Rally' on the Main Drag in little Dodgeville, WI, Population 4,727. This is the largest town near mine, Population 283. FWIW, there has been NO rally like this for Biden and there was NO rally like this for Trump/Pence last time around, or for ANY Dem candidate. I thought these pictures would cheer everyone up. :) Support is strong in Flyover Country!

Really, guys? That's the best you could do? The news deluge of the past few weeks has been a lot to deal with, but unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re aware of last week’s alleged plot by militia members to kidnap and kill the Michigan's Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer. This wasn’t just some misguided act of incel patriotism. No, authorities say this was a planned attack, categorized by the FBI as domestic terrorism. But the vehicle they apparently used to train for the plot will make you stop and say: Wait, what? Grand Rapids' FOX17 has more details...

History’s grand plan, if it has one, doesn’t usually allow for repetition. The kaleidoscope of the past brings up endless new iterations of victory and defeat, triumph and agony, and allows us only a glimpse into the uncertainty of the future and the ambiguity of the past. New world powers are coming to the fore, and the post-war world order — first the Cold War, then the Pax Americana — is disappearing. As the influence of NATO, which for many decades gave Europeans a sense of safety through its ability to deter and defend, begins to wane, the promise of...

BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — A large area of Boulder County, including the towns of Jamestown and Ward, are under a mandatory evacuation order after two new wildfires sparked over the weekend.

President Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden for being 'boring' and not together, while also characterizing him as a criminal mastermind worse than 'crooked' Hillary Clinton as he slammed the Democrat Sunday night at his Carson City, Nevada rally. 'This is the most boring human being I've ever seen,' Trump said of Biden, while also claiming he was running a 'criminal enterprise' alongside his son, Hunter. 'The Bidens make "crooked" Hillary Clinton look like an absolute amateur,' Trump said, using a throwback insult from his successful 2016 campaign. Pointing a finger at Hunter, Trump said, 'This guy's a vacuum cleaner,' alleging...

Bernard B. Kerik, 40th Police Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, has declared that Joe Biden and his family "belong in handcuffs" after revealing that he has "personally" reviewed the contents of Hunter Biden's hard drive. Kerick says he's seen the "images, emails, and other documents [that] were on Hunter’s cell phone and computer" - most of which has yet to be made public - and is now calling on the Department of Justice to arrest "Hunter, James[Joe's brother], and Joe Biden."

FAIRMONT, W.Va. — It’s unlikely a man already on probation thought his plans through this week when he reported for a required drug test. According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Department, Roger King, 38, of Fairmont arrived on October 14th for the required drug test at the Marion County Probation Office. During the test, deputies found eight bags of a “tan powder” along with a hypodermic needle in King’s pocket. A field test of the material revealed it was positive as Fentanyl. The test prompted deputies to get a search warrant for King’s phone. A forensic download of material found...

**SNIP** Given my experience, I find Cunningham’s conduct offensive in four dimensions. One is legal - he violated Article 133 of the UCMJ by sending sexual text messages to a woman who is not his wife. If he had sex with the woman, he possibly violated Article 134’s prohibition against adultery. Two, his misconduct set a poor example for juniors. Officers are held to a higher standard than enlisted members and are expected to lead enlisted and officer subordinates by example. Officership is so important the UCMJ has one article, Article 133, that applies only to officers: conduct unbecoming an...
