Disgraced YouTube mommy blogger Ruby Franke wept in court as she was sentenced to up to 60 years in prison for brutally abusing two of her own children in a 'concentration camp-like setting'. Franke,
41, pleaded guilty last year to four counts of child abuse after one of her young children escaped and alerted a neighbor to their suffering. She was sentenced to between one to 15 years in prison for each count - up to 60 years in total - at Utah 5th District Court on Tuesday. How much time she will spend in jail will be determined by...

Tractor Supply sells a min. of four chicks at a time. One MUST supply phone # & address to do that
|

A friend trued to buy chicks today | 18 July 2023 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin
Someone I know went to Tractor Supply today to buy a chick. The
individual was told that he/she had to supply a phone number and updated address to buy the chicks. I called and asked about the situation and a manager confirmed it. No address, no chicks. He claimed it was a Tractor Supply policy, but I know better than that. Obviously, the Feds are noticing huge numbers of people buying chicks are are now forcing retailers to track who's buying. All of this has gone too far. I am going to call this the beginning of the Chicken Wars.

Germany has passed legislation that makes the culling of male chicks in the meat industry illegal from January 1, 2022. This
makes Germany the first country to ban the mass slaughter of chicks by law. The meat industry utilizes the products of chickens in two key approaches. One is to raise boiler chickens, females that will gain weight quickly and therefore are considered economically valuable for their meat. The others are egg layers, bred to churn out as many eggs as they can before being recategorized as soup chickens. It’s a system that calls for a lot of females with...

BLM Protests Spark calls for Dixie Chicks to Change Their Name

Following weeks of protests about police brutality and racism, many activists have begun calling out the band Dixie Chicks to change their name, claiming the word “Dixie” harbors “the epitome of white America.” The Dixie Chicks, a band composed of Natalie Maines and twin sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer, is a
country band that was started in 1989. The Chicks soared to popularity until a comment by Maines about President George W. Bush in 2003 sent their career on a downward spiral from which it never fully recovered. In London for a concert, Maines told the crowd in 2003,...

Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines is in the middle of divorcing her husband Adrian Pasdar, who has been on the TV shows Heroes and Agents of SHIELD. And this week the 53-year-old actor has slowed the process down by asking his soon-to-be ex-wife for a very large sum of money even though
he signed a prenup agreement before they wed 19 years ago. Pasdar would like $60,000 a month - $44,076 a month in spousal and an additional $16,427 in child support - according to The Blast, as he claimed anything less would be very difficult for him. They have...

Mass starvation has wiped out thousands of penguin chicks in Antarctica, with unusually thick sea ice forcing their parents to forage further for food in what conservationists Friday called a "catastrophic breeding failure".They attributed the disaster to extensive sea ice late in the summer, meaning the adult penguins had to travel further
to find food, with the chicks dying as they waited.

Self | 9/27/2017 | Alberta's Child
After all the excitement and the flurry of media coverage and great posts I've read here on Free Republic in the last few days, I thought I'd post this series of random, rambling thoughts about the self-inflicted demise of what had once been one of this country's iconic cultural institutions: the National
Football League. I gathered these from many of the things I've posted in recent days, and I wanted to share them with anyone (everyone) who wants to chime in on this unfolding disaster. I was going to post it as a more serious, formal article, but I figured...
