Free Republic

This is what happens when you teach nothing but racism in school, and leave out anything actually, you know, educational. >p> During an event in Houston just before the eclipse Monday morning, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee told the audience gathered at the Mickey Leland Federal Building that the moon was made up “mostly of gasses” (it isn’t) and that it's "almost impossible to go near the sun" (we actually can't go near it at all) because it's a "mighty powerful heat" (you don't say!?). Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: It's "almost impossible to go near the sun," but the...

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are ‘working to prepare US voters for a possible deepfake onslaught’ Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have launched a campaign in the fight against election misinformation - in their latest move in the world of politics. The Duchess of Sussex has long faced speculation that she could be entering the political sphere, with the couple hiring Obama’s PR guru to work on their team and speaking out about the US election back in 2020. During the last cycle four years ago, feminist activist Gloria Steinem previously told Access Hollywood that Meghan had joined her...

During an interview with CNBC released on Monday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that “Some low-income consumers are perhaps exhausting their buffers of saving[s] that they built up during the pandemic, we’re seeing a little bit more distress at the household level there.” But despite that, “we’ve got a good, strong economy” with “very strong domestic demand” that is “on a solid track” and “generally, households are in very good financial shape.” CNBC host Sara Eisen said, “I guess I’m just wondering if the economy continues to hold up, no matter what happens on the Fed.”

Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid. In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of new electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently. Arizona Public Service, the largest utility in that state, is also struggling to keep up, projecting it will be out of transmission capacity before the end of the decade absent...

Are you tired of all of the liberal politics? They are trying to convince of that being woke is normal. According to Trump, "woke means you're a loser." If you're tired of it, so are we. Stand with Trump for 2024 and Remember Normal.

Fans of the James Bond films have threatened to boycott the next movie if Jewish actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is named to the role. According to reports, antisemites have shared the hashtag #BoycottJamesBond on social media in light of reports that the British actor, 33, has all but signed a deal to assume the role of Bond. The hashtag #BoycottJamesBond has also been widely shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. Comments posted to social media include: “Really bad timing with Israel committing genocide in Gaza. Shame on you. I hope your company collapses”; “Boycott Bond, Free Palestine”; and “I won’t...

"Donald Trump is weak and desperate-both as a man and a candidate for President. He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn't have. His campaign can't raise money, he is uninterested in campaigning outside his country club, and every time he opens his mouth, he pushes moderate and suburban voters away with his dangerous agenda. America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump."

In the wake of the deadly attack against a Moscow music hall over Shabbat, MK Ahmed Tibi (Hadash-Ta’al) "liked" a post in which the author blamed Israel for the attack. The tweet, from user Daniel Haqiqatjou, reads: “ISIS constantly commits terror attacks which either target Muslims who support Palestine, or non-Muslim populations sympathetic to Muslims and Palestinians.” As a result of Tibi’s support for the theory, MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) has begun the process of collecting seventy signatures from all parties prior to having him deposed. .....

There was a bit of good news about the future of public discourse this week. The United States Supreme Court, even though stacked with right-wingers, sounded like it was ready to give the Biden administration the go-ahead to try to persuade social-media platforms not to put out content promoting nonsense about the presidential election, conspiracy theories about the pandemic and other assorted bilge and crackpottery... When other communications revolutions like the printing press, radio, and television came along, they were still largely controlled by the elites. But when the internet came along, regulatory bodies like Canada’s CRTC backed off. It...

President Biden on Tuesday wandered off stage, beelined toward a baby and sat in the crowd as he was being introduced at a campaign event in Phoenix. “Well, folks, I have to tell you straight up,” the 81-year-old president told his supporters after venturing back on-stage.“I like you all, but I couldn’t resist that little baby.” Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez – the granddaughter of labor icon César Chávez – was about a minute into her brief opening remarks when the president bolted from the stage. Biden continued to sit in the booth next to the mother holding her...

Michael Moore has issued a warning over Donald Trump, claiming the former president is "smarter than" Democrats. During the latest episode of his Rumble podcast on Sunday, the director called a victory for Trump in 2024's general election a "legitimate fear." "We don't want to say this out loud, but I'm going to say it, and the reason we need to be concerned is that Trump is smarter than us," the 69-year-old said.

Elon Musk escalated his war of words with former CNN host Don Lemon, comparing him to a spoiled child. “Don “Veruca Salt” Lemon,” Musk posted Friday on X — likening Lemon to the outrageously indulged character in the Roald Dahl classic “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” The jab comes hours after The Post reported Lemon had made extravagant demands on Musk as part of a deal to host a talk show on the platform.

Leave it to Whoopi Goldberg to drop a bombshell on The View then slyly cut to commercial. The longtime moderator made our jaws drop this morning when she toted a peculiar theory about Donald Trump, claiming that appearances from the one-term president are products of artificial intelligence. Her bold remark came at the very end of a chat about South Carolina Gov. Kristi Noem, who used a bizarre video on X (formerly known as Twitter) to promote dental work she’d received from a Texas business. During the segment, Joy Behar named other politicians who could peddle wares like Noem, suggesting...

Adobe’s Firefly seems to be following in the woke footsteps of Google’s failed Gemini AI image producer — generating photos of black Nazis and black and female founding fathers. In a test of the product conducted by The Post on Thursday, Firefly produced an image of two smiling black men standing in front of an American flag when prompted to create a photo of the “founding fathers of the USA.” Searches for the 1787 Constitutional Convention also produced images of both black men and white women standing in front of the historic State House in Philadelphia, Penn., and a search...

Producer Rob Reiner’s anti-Christian smear, God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, limped out of theaters after grossing a hilarious $60,464 worldwide. That’s fewer than 7,000 tickets sold, even after producer Rob Reiner got all kinds of free media from countless corporate media outlets.

The Gold Star father that heckled Joe Biden during his State of the Union Address has been arrested. “A ‘Gold Star’ parent or family denotes a relative[s] of a person killed while serving in the armed forces during wartime.” The man was identified as Steve Nikoui, the father of slain Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, who was killed during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal under the Biden administration. “America’s safer today than when I took office,” Biden, 81, was in the middle of saying before he was interrupted from the chamber’s balcony. “Abbey Gate!” Steve Nikoui yelled down at the president. “Second...

Biden mistakenly invited listeners of his speech to Moscow to buy cheap medicine Washington, March 8-RIA Novosti. US President Joe Biden mistakenly invited those listening to his State of the Union address to Moscow to buy cheap medicine. The president is taking steps to lower the price of basic drugs such as insulin and convincing supporters that Republican opponents want to eliminate social programs that make drugs cheaper. Biden's argument is that the cost of the same drugs in Canada and other countries is lower than in the United States. "I have problems because of these words, but if any...

President Biden was projected to lose the Democratic primary in American Samoa to an obscure candidate in a surprising result that comes amid a string of Super Tuesday wins. The race was called Tuesday night by Decision Desk HQ, who confirmed the results with the Democratic Party of American Samoa. Democrat Jason Palmer, a entrepreneur running a long-shot bid against the incumbent, was projected to win the U.S. territory’s Democratic race. Palmer has reportedly qualified for the presidential ballot in just 16 states and territories, according to a release from the campaign through PRNewswire. Since American Samoa is a U.S....

grandpa Keith Olbermann is back at it again with another scorcher, this time seemingly implying that he pisses on his own face. After a full-scale meltdown over the Supreme Court’s landmark 9-0 ruling in favor of former President Donald Trump in the Colorado ballot case, Olbermann appears to have short-circuited. After Olbermann blasted out an absurd rant calling for the dissolution of the Supreme Court, political commentator Gunther Eagleman replied to Old Man O’s public meltdown with a simple “Cry more… 9-0.” Olbermann, doing his best Shooter McGavin impression, retorts with “Those aren’t tears, Fascist. They’re urine. I’m sure you...
