    I cannot personally vouch for the content below. I simply collected Freeper recommendations and asked GROK to organize them. Some may find it useful. You may add recommendations in the comments, and I will try updating, but I have other projects in the works (e.g., military tables of honor for FR) and I know I will be slow to get to this update.Last Updated: 7/1/2025This directory organizes user-suggested medical information from forum discussions into categories for easy navigation. It includes doctor directories, treatment protocols, online pharmacies, natural remedies, detox methods, warnings, and research articles. Note: This is not medical advice;...

    Dawn Pakistan ^ | 4th February 2026
    THE separatist militancy, which has gripped Balochistan for the past two decades, now seems to have escalated into a full-blown insurgency. Last week, hundreds of armed terrorists launched simultaneous attacks reportedly in 12 locations, including the provincial capital Quetta. They stormed security installations, set government buildings on fire and looted banks. Highly trained terrorists engaged the security forces in gun battles for hours, revealing their capacity to challenge the state. While the government claims to have killed 145 terrorists and restored order, such large-scale attacks, which breach even high security zones such as the provincial capital and cause many casualties...

    Trump border czar Tom Homan announced a significant drawdown of federal agents in Minneapolis during a Wednesday morning press conference after receiving “unprecedented cooperation” from local officials. Homan was put in charge of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both shot and killed during altercations with ICE and Border Patrol personnel. During a press conference last week, Homan struck a more optimistic tone about collaborating with local officials like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), and acknowledged that mistakes had been made. On Wednesday, Homan announced...

    The team carefully examined the liquid’s appearance and color before opening it up. Finding that the cork had a slight vinegary smell, they began extracting the liquid to determine the type of alcohol. “We weren’t sure if it was clear spirit, if it was aged spirit, if it was beer, if it was wine, if it was champagne,” Winter said. To minimize disturbance, the group used a Coravin device, which allows liquid to be extracted without fully removing the cork. When the bottle was opened, the team took careful note of its smell.

    SLASHGEAR ^ | 11/16/2025 | ANTHONI OISIN
    It's easy to spot a Mazda long before you've gotten close enough to check out the logo or detailing. That is, it's easy if it's finished in the company's signature Soul Red Crystal: a reflective, multi-layered coating crafted with bright pigments, tiny aluminum fragments, and light-absorbing flakes. Although the color is eye-catching courtesy of its reflective shimmer and depth, that's not the main reason why it's so well known. It's actually mostly because of the specialist and exclusive way the paint is applied and designed.

    Paul addressed federal officials’ claims that Pretti posed a threat to ICE officers.... I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police,” Paul said. “The president’s advisor, Stephen Miller, called Pretti an assassin. That’s a lot of people–not telling the truth,” Pelley added. Paul shook his head at Miller’s statement and added, “It sounds like terrible judgment. I mean, terrible conclusions, incorrect conclusions, stating things that no one else believes.

    Good morning everyone, I'm here in the office and some people are concerned about something I said yesterday, so I want to be crystal clear. I am a proud supporter of the second amendment. I have guns myself, long guns, handguns, and I'm a proud high-heeled gun owner. In fact, I even keynoted an NRA convention. However, you need to be responsible, and every responsible gun owner that I know makes sure that they understand the laws where they are going and understand whatever registration requirements there might be. President Trump's goal here, and my goal as well, is to...

    Organizations including the Chinese-American Planning Council and the Chinese Progressive Association — both of which have ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s overseas influence network — are among the signatories urging Congress to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol.Those groups joined more than 1,000 organizations in a coordinated letter demanding that lawmakers halt all funding for federal immigration enforcement agencies, a move that would effectively eliminate interior enforcement and deportation operations nationwide. The letter, organized by Amnesty International USA, does not call for reforms or oversight but for the removal of enforcement capacity itself.

    OMAHA, Neb. — The man convicted of hitting and killing an Iowa woman in an Omaha crash will serve years behind bars. Eswin Mejia received 20 to 22 years in prison for motor vehicle homicide and flight to avoid arrest. Mejia caused the crash that killed Sarah Root near 33rd and L streets in 2016. In December, he pleaded guilty to a charge of failure to appear and no contest to motor vehicle homicide. Authorities said Mejia was driving drunk and street racing when he rear-ended Root's car at a stoplight.

    A San Fernando Valley community is outraged and devastated after federal immigration agents forced their way onto the grounds of a church during a food giveaway and arrested a man who church officials say helps with children’s ministries. Church officials stated that “a beloved community member” by the name of Carlos Chavez was arrested. The raid interrupted the church’s food distribution ministry and an event for mothers and children in the church garden. Speaking to KTLA 5’s Kimberly Cheng, Pastor Aguilon said he was in contact with Chavez’s wife, who said Carlos, the sole provider for their family, has already...

    Our town on the San Francisco Peninsula has had a string of auto burglaries in recent months. The Police Department sent a message to our neighborhood group saying: "We encourage everyone to lock their vehicles and to take out all personal belongings, electronics and valuables. The thieves have electronic devices that detect devices with Bluetooth, so they can use the device outside a vehicle and they will know if there is a device inside with Bluetooth (i.e. laptop, iPad, AirPods, etc) and they will then break into the trunk, even if nothing is visible in the interior of the car....

    For centuries, one of the most important cities of the ancient world lay hidden beneath dust, war zones, and shifting rivers. Alexandria on the Tigris—once a thriving center of long-distance trade connecting Mesopotamia with India and beyond—vanished from historical memory after late antiquity. Now, an international research team led by Professor Stefan Hauser of the University of Konstanz has successfully rediscovered and reinterpreted this lost metropolis, revealing its crucial role in ancient global commerce.A City Founded by Alexander the Great In the 4th century BCE, Alexander the Great conquered the Achaemenid Persian Empire, reshaping the political and economic landscape of...

    On January 18, 2026, former CNN anchor Don Lemon entered Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, alongside anti-ICE protesters who deliberately disrupted an ongoing worship service. The group chanted “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” accusing one of the pastors of ties to immigration enforcement and thereby interrupting the congregation's First Amendment-protected religious exercise. Lemon livestreamed the event, positioning himself within the disruption as it unfolded. Federal authorities subsequently arrested Lemon and three others, charging them with conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241 and interference with the free exercise of religion. Lemon maintains that his presence was...
  • 2nd California refinery closure is planned. That could affect gas prices in Arizona, Nevada

    The recent closure of a California oil refinery — and plans to shutter another in the near future — have some experts warning of potential fuel shortages and price spikes in Nevada and other Western states that depend on the Golden State. California supplies roughly 88% of Nevada’s fuel, including diesel and jet fuel. But Phillips 66 closed a refinery in the Los Angeles area in October, and earlier this year, Valero submitted a notice that it plans to close a Bay Area refinery by April 2026. Combined, the two refineries produce 284,000 barrels of oil per day, about 17%...
