Can't really make out the heckler's gripe, something about a sex offender in a FL school? @livenowfox

The video begins with the mama cat frantically searching outside a house for her missing kitten. The worried expression on her face clearly depicts her concern for the little one. Finally, the mother cat finds her wandering kitten sitting innocently in a corner of the house, seemingly oblivious to the worry it has caused. At this moment, a mixture of relief and concern crosses the mother cat's face. "What are you doing here alone?" she seems to ask, as she approaches her little one. In a surprisingly swift and gentle move, the mother cat strikes her kitten in the face....

Cats are known for their curiosity and their knack for getting involved in the most unexpected situations. When it comes to gossip, these furry companions are no strangers. A recent video posted on X captured the hilarious moment when a couple engaged in a heated argument, resulting in a woman throwing her partner's belongings outside from a balcony. What ensued was a flurry of activity as felines from different houses flocked to their windows to witness the drama unfold.

A remarkable reunion has taken place in France, as a stolen parrot has been returned to its owner after three long years. The parrot's clever tactic of shouting out its own name to the police played a crucial role in this heartwarming event. When authorities seized the talkative parrot, it immediately started squawking, repeatedly uttering the name "Jako, Jako, Jako." In France, "Jako" is a traditional name for parrots, similar to the commonly known name "Polly." Intriguingly, one of the officers recalled a fellow colleague who had lost a parrot named Jako back in 2020. This officer had mentioned to...

It's admittedly somewhat dispiriting – the idea that we're going into the 244th anniversary of Independence Day with so little to celebrate in the context of our nation's current status and future. For some, our annual Independence Day celebrations may have been just another day off of work, but for many more, it was a day in which we could spend time with friends and family, taking stock of our blessings and our gratitude for living in the greatest nation humanity had ever established. As July 4 approaches, we're also seeing a new form of exploitation of the racial tension...

Warner Bros. Television is in the early stages of developing a reboot of the classic sitcom “ALF,” Variety has confirmed with sources. No writer is yet attached to the project, which would again explore the misadventures of the titular, cat-eating ALF–which stands for Alien Life Form. In the original series, ALF of the planet Melmac crash lands in the suburbs and takes up residence with the middle class Tanner family. The show aired from 1986-1990 for four seasons and over 100 episodes on NBC. The series has remained a part of the pop culture landscape long after it ended and...

When it comes to supporting families, paid parental leave is a solution to a number of problems. Studies show that paid leave can reduce infant mortality, increase breastfeeding rates, can improve maternal mental health and strengthen the connection between fathers and babies. There are a ton of benefits to parental leave, ones that American families should be seeing, but aren't. While some employers have been modernizing parental leave policies, federal policy lags behind. The last major policy change came in 1993, when the Family and Medical Leave Act passed with bipartisan support, guarantees more than half of American workers 12...

Lookee...lookee, lookee, the Dow Jones Industrial average passes 25,000 with ease this morning. What say you Democrat party, losers, empty suits and deadbeats? And, the private job sector created 250,000 new jobs in November, 2017. What say you, now, Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi? Go...POTUS, Donald J. Trump...God bless you...MAGA!!!

Just got done communicating with the folks at PPD poll. They too show a drop in Trump support today, almost exclusively the result of a decrease in voter intensity for Trump. That is, the media is creating a self fulfilling prophecy amongst Trump supporters. I see it here every day with the defeatest posts, the incessant whining over this or that. It's time to cut the defeatism and do whatever we can above and beyond what we are already doing to bring Trump home. This place has been a depressing forum the last weekend. So think twice about your defeatism...

It's official! Even though Gruber plainly said 'If you're a state and you don’t set up an Exchange, that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits. … I hope that’s a blatant enough political reality that states will get their act together and realize there are billions of dollars at stake here in setting up these Exchanges, and that they’ll do it.', our SCOTUS has taken it upon itself to rewrite Obamacare. That's twice now that SCOTUS has rewritten an obviously unconstitutional Law to decide it really is Constitutional. So, mark this day forever, it is OFFICIAL. WORDS in...

Ticaboo • Syd Auster’s father flew fighter jets to protect American soil, including this dusty company town off a two-lane road to Lake Powell. But soon the same mineral-rich landscape that Auster’s dad safeguarded decades ago will be largely owned by the country he once guarded against. By year’s end, the Russian mining company Atomredmetzoloto (ARMZ) will have a controlling stake in the Canadian company Uranium One. When that happens, the town itself, the Shootaring Canyon uranium mill a few miles up the highway, more than 10,000 acres of uranium claims in Utah and holdings in South Dakota, Wyoming and...

Four leading House Republicans, citing national security concerns, are urging Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner to block the sale of a Wyoming-based uranium mine to an arm of the Russian government's main nuclear agency. The lawmakers are raising alarm over the proposed sale of a Powder River Basin, Wyoming-based uranium processing facility operated by Uranium One USA, a Canadian-based company, to Atomredmetzoloto, a subsidiary of the Russian government agency Rosatom, according to a letter obtained Tuesday by The Washington Times. The sale was first announced on Aug. 31, and the lawmakers claim that it could give Moscow control of up...

Wyoming’s Washington delegation is concerned about the proposed transfer of three Powder River Basin uranium facilities into the hands of a Russian company. The Powder River Basin uranium facilities have been pulled into the Iran nuclear debate on Capitol Hill with a deal that would transfer the controlling interest of Canadian-owned Uranium One to the Russian company JSC Atomredmetzoloto. The company now owns 23.1 percent of Uranium One’s common stock and is seeking a controlling 51 percent share. Commonly known as ARMZ, the company is controlled by Russia’s state agency that oversees its nuclear industry. The agency has supplied uranium...

US approval a step toward Russian company control of Wyoming uranium mines Published on November 30th, 2010 Topics : Nuclear Regulatory Commission , Uranium One , Wyoming , U.S. CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Two uranium mines in Wyoming are on their way to control by a Russian company now that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved transferring the mines' licenses. The NRC last week approved the license transfer to a Russian company known as ARMZ which expects to obtain a controlling interest in Canadian-owned Uranium One by year's end. Uranium One holds the licenses for a proposed uranium mine and an...

Washington—As debate rages on in both the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate as to who the biggest whore in Congress is, Senator John McCain, R-AZ, went on Fox News Sunday to argue his case that Ben Nelson was by far the biggest whore. McCain went on to say that anyone who let himself be used by Senator Reid so easily was hands down the biggest slut he’d ever seen. “What this man did,” claimed McCain on Fox News Sunday, “was to demonstrate how big a harlot he was on a public stage. At least Senator Landrieu went out behind...

A giant crop circle resembling an owl has appeared in a field in Wiltshire, amid a theory that it is a tribute to Harry Potter's pet Hedwig. The 400ft pattern, the latest in a string of bird-themed designs seen this summer, appeared overnight in a field in Woodborough Hill. But while crop circle specialists are searching for a meaning, and some are convinced it is a tribute to the teenage wizard. Steve Killick, a Harry Potter fan, said: "It is very exciting to think that there are fans of Harry from other galaxies

Per the crawl this morning on CNN, Sen. Corker has put a Hold on Porkuls, stating that he wants a chance to read it before voting. Bill has reportedly swollen from 800 to 1,500 pages as Dems keep putting-back everything the Senate removed. Saw crawl as I was watching news about the ColganAir crash at 5:00AM.

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this. 1. It's impossible for us to enforce.2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.4. Thick skin helps.5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply. Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps. Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would...

After listening to Assad’s nonsense, CBS’s chief correspondent in Iraq, Lara Logan, reports on “Iraq’s most secret and elite warriors … Iraq’s version of America’s top counterterrorism unit, Delta Force,” she says. Hardly. Granted, there is no question in terms of skill level, Iraqi special operations forces are well above their regular Iraqi army counterparts. But to suggest they are the equivalent of Delta Force commandos – the U.S. Army’s equivalent of Navy SEALs from the DevGru community – is simply not so.

EVER since “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore has been the darling of environmentalists, but that movie hardly endeared him to the animal rights folks. According to them, the most inconvenient truth of all is that raising animals for meat contributes more to global warming than all the sport utility vehicles combined. The biggest animal rights groups do not always overlap in their missions, but now they have coalesced around a message that eating meat is worse for the environment than driving. They and smaller groups have started advertising campaigns that try to equate vegetarianism with curbing greenhouse gases. Some backlash...
