At one point in my checkered career my writings were widely read throughout the Soviet Union all the way from Minsk to Vladivostok, eleven time zones to the east.. Was I some sort of leftist railing against capitalism whose writings were permitted to be published in the Soviet Union for propaganda purposes? Well, no. To find out how I became for a time the most widely read American correspondent in the Soviet Union we must go back to December 1988 to the Periodical Reading Room of the UCLA library. In those pre-Internet days (at least for me) I often quenched ...

What to expect when you’re not expecting. A West Virginia transgender man who believed he was infertile miraculously became pregnant after a one-night stand with a man he met on Grindr. “I gave up on my dreams of being a parent, then lo and behold, this kid comes out of nowhere,” Ash Patrick Schade, 30, told SWNS. Schade decided to take a pregnancy test in 2020 after feeling more emotional and ravenous than usual, “blindsided” by the positive result. “In the moment I was like, ‘Am I dreaming?’ It just seemed so surreal,” he recalled. “All I could do was...

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I were married 21 years ago. Since then, she has admitted to cheating with 10 different men. Each time, I stayed with her, hoping she’d change. I finally left 3 1/2 years ago because I couldn’t take it anymore. She became homeless, but for the past year and a half she has been living with my daughter and me because I saw her on the street one day and she looked terrible. We are now moving, and my daughter wants her mother to get a job (she’s capable of getting one). My ex refused to...

SIX YEARS AGO.

Posted on 7/20/2003, 8:19:08 AM by PJ-Comix (President Clinton is sitting at his desk in the Oval Office. A voice is heard on his intercom. It is his secretary.) SECRETARY: Mr. President, Lieutenant Columbo is here to see you. (The Oval Office door opens a bit. Columbo peeks in tentatively.) COLUMBO: I hope I'm not disturbing you, Mr. President. CLINTON (smiling broadly): Not at all! I heard that you were visiting the White House. That's why I had my people take you off the tour line to see me. I've always been a big fan of yours. (Columbo, puffing on...

Such is the era we live in that we are now being treated to the absurd spectacle of supposed journalists coming out strongly in favor of censorship. One such journalist is Politico's White House reporter Tina Nguyen, who on Sunday castigated the Twitter alternative, Parler, for their lack of censorship.Nguyen's outrage at Parler for daring to permit free speech appeared in "On Parler, MAGA’s post-election world view blossoms with no pushback."

VIDEO During a little noticed moment at John Lewis' funeral, Bill Clinton thanked Congressman James Clyburn "for with a stroke of a hand" destroyed the campaign of Bernie Sanders. Gee! And I thought such things were supposed to be decided by elections, not the whim of one person. Silly me. And it sure puts some context on almost all the Democrat candidates dropping out of the primary race in unison just before Super Tuesday. Note the gloating chuckle by Clinton at the end of his observation. No reaction yet from Bernie Sanders but it will probably continue to be...

The saga of now-deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s “fixer” Ghislaine Maxwell continues to grind on, generating headlines that the New York Post and the Daily Mail in the UK simply can’t resist. And let’s be honest… neither can many of the rest of us. The Daily Mail has uncovered (pun intended) yet another gem from the disgraced madam’s upcoming court proceedings. If the reports turn out to be accurate, the court now has videos of a very provocative, if not pornographic nature involving unnamed “individuals” who may have been with some of Epstein’s young victims. And until some names are attached...

Above tweet by homosexual activist, sex columnist and pornographer Dan Savage “hopes” that President Donald Trump is infected with the Wuhan COVID-19 virus. Savage plays off a CNN story about Trump’s person valet who tested positive for the virus. The CNN report states that it raises “concerns about the President’s possible exposure to the virus.” Savage tweets that “concerns” should be replaced with “hopes.” AFTAH added the arrow in the graphic above.

Lots of people—including Congress—are worried about fake videos and imagery distorting the truth, purporting to show people saying and doing things they never said or did. I’m part of a larger U.S. government project that is working on developing ways to detect images and videos that have been manipulated. My team’s work, though, is to play the role of the bad guy. We develop increasingly devious, and convincing, ways to generate fakes...

VIDEO This video reveals what almost everybody is reluctant to admit out loud: WHY Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked in South Africa. It is a delicate subject but I don't refrain in spelling out the reason for the attack even though it will make many uncomfortable to face the truth.

You want to know the easiest way to own a big yacht if you don't have the bucks? Simple. Just marry a rich old widow. That was exactly what John F. Kerry did. Okay, he does have to put up with an incredibly annoying wife but with his Yacht, "Isabel," he can get away from the old bag in comfort. And despite the fact that he could easily tap into the half billion dollar Heinz fortune to pay the Massachusetts sales and excise tax of about a half million dollars, Kerry avoided those taxes by registering the yacht in...

Li'l Beaver sez: "Today is the DUmmie FUnnies' FIFTH ANNIVERSARY! Ask me anything!" Yes, boys and girls, it was five years ago TODAY that PJ-Comix started the DUmmie FUnnies as its own stand-alone feature on Free Republic! Since then, the DUFUs have grown to amass the LARGEST ping list on FR--1,037 pingees!--and have spawned a DUmmie FUnnies blog on Blogspot. And what a FUn ride it's been! We started by satirizing just the DUmmies of Democratic Underground, but PJ has expanded our horizons to take in the KOmmies of Daily Kos and the HUffies of Huffington Post. The Looney Left...

Here at NewsBusters, we try to stay on the cutting edge of both media and technology, which is why I'm pleased to announce the addition of “NewsBusted,” a comedy show we're producing in cooperation with Right Stuff Comedy. The idea for the show is really quite simple. Politics is absurd, so is the news. Why not have some laughs from it all? The show will be online later today but in the meantime, please enjoy the new NB layout. Note that besides “NewsBusted,” it has a few other new features such as a block to track active forum discussions as...

Stand by for some really great laughs on Sunday, November 5. Some Dummies, taking their cue from the movie, V For Vendetta, are actually planning to gather in front of public buildings around the country wearing dopey Guy Fawkes masks as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Remember, remember the 5th of November....". Yeah, that's just the ticket, DUmmies. Leading into the midterm elections, make complete FOOLS of yourselves. This doesn't totally surprise me since the DUmmies instantly took to this fantasy flick in which Britain is ruled by an EVIL rightwing regime. The DUmmies have fantasized themselves...

Just to be on the safe side, you can listen to this Podcast from my BLOG.

Check out my BLOG to listen to my latest audio podcast in which I make a SHOCKING personal revelation. The language I use is no rougher than what is typically read on the FR but for some reason some folks seem to complain if they HEAR it so to be on the safe side I won't link the Podcast directly from here. You can access it from my Blog instead.

The leftists are in such a funk with their string of electoral losses over the past few years that they are desperately searching for their political Holy Grail that will show them how to win again or at least explain why they are constantly losing. Thus we have a plethora of books such as by George Lackoff explaining that the real reason the Democrats keep losing is that they have lost control of the use of the language and need to "frame" the debates differently. This explains why we have constant yakety-yak lately about "framing." And now we have...
