I followed the advice of several of the responding electrical mavens and contacted Alen, who manufactures the air purifier I have which sporadically turns itself off, even at different outlets. Alen has a lifetime warranty, so they are shipping me a totally new one. Wow!

A Big Apple anti-Israel group blasted out a how-to guide to seizing buildings as protests rocked universities in Manhattan.Days after cops arrested over 100 Columbia University students and cleared a large anti-Israel encampment at its upper Manhattan campus, The Peoples Park radicals posted “The Do-It-Yourself Occupation Guide” on its Instagram account, which has 2,300 followers.

I've had an Alen FIT50 air purifier for several years. Lately, it turns itself off when plugged into a given outlet for a few weeks. Plugging it into a different outlet, it starts right back up again and works well for a few weeks. Then it stops again. I've even merely changed it from being plugged into the upper slots, where it stopped working after a few weeks, to the lower slots, where it started working again, in the same outlet. Never saw anything like this before. Does anyone know why this air purifier stops working in a given slot...

The IDF published two recordings incriminating two terrorists who took part in the massacre of October 7 and who also worked as UNRWA teachers.In the first recording, a terrorist who works as an Arabic teacher at a UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah describes his entry into Israeli territory and states that he has Israeli hostages in his hands.

Ed Pierson was flying from Seattle to New Jersey in 2023, when he ended up boarding a plane he’d never wanted to fly on. The Seattle resident booked with Alaska Airlines last March, purposefully selecting a flight with a plane he was happy to board – essentially, anything but a Boeing 737 Max. “I got to the airport, checked again that it wasn’t the Max. I went through security, got coffee. I walked onto the plane – I thought, it’s kinda new,” Pierson told CNN. “Then I sat down and on the emergency card [in the seat pocket] it said...

A Brooklyn high school has become a haven for Hitler-loving hooligans who terrorize Jewish teachers and classmates, The Post has learned. On Oct. 26, just three weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, 40 to 50 teens marched through Origins HS in Sheepshead Bay waving a Palestinian flag and chanting “Death to Israel!” and “Kill the Jews!” staffers said. The hateful procession was shocking even for Origins, a school rife with bias and bullying, insiders told The Post. “I live in fear of going to work every day,” said global history teacher Danielle Kaminsky. According to interviews...

A proposal in the Maryland General Assembly would eliminate punishments for certain nonviolent disruptive behaviors committed by students on school property. The bill, introduced by Delegate Sheila Ruth (D-Baltimore County) and Senator Alonzo Washington (D-Prince George’s County), aims to amend the state’s school security laws that currently prohibit and penalize students for engaging in “disturbing activities” at their school, including “molesting or threatening” other students. The sponsors clarify that the term “molesting” refers to harassing behavior, not sexual abuse. Under the proposed amendment, disciplinary action would not be taken against students for these nonviolent disruptions occurring at their own school....

I am watching this wonderful movie about the development of the Mars rovers Opportunity and Spirit. There are interviews of the scientists involved and their reminiscences of the process of designing and building these remarkable machines, which furthered our knowledge of Mars by light years. And then I grew a bit depressed, thinking of the billions and billions of U.S. dollars which have gone to feed, house, medicate, pay legal bills, educate, etc. the hordes of illegal criminal invaders El Retardo and his fellow traitors have let invade our country. Such absolute contempt for our country and the freedoms it...

The leader of a Baltimore nonprofit got an up-close and personal look at the destruction caused by the war in Gaza. Sean Callahan, CEO of Catholic Relief Services, said the devastation and desperation there is clear. “In the morning, afternoon and night, you have jets buzzing overhead. You hear bombing in the distance. You have drones and helicopters over you. You have these poor people that have moved around and it’s very difficult,” he said. Callahan toured the area and visited the group’s office there to get a better idea of what assistance they need, as many civilians have been...

A pair of Brooklyn public school teachers are plying kids as young as eight with anti-Israel propaganda, drawing lessons from a company that offers material twisting the classic “Wheels on the Bus” song into a hateful screed that cheers the eradication of the Jewish state, The Post has learned. In Giuseppe Rebaudengo and Anna Battaglia’s third-grade classrooms at PS 705 in Prospect Heights, young minds are being molded into “social justice warriors,” learning from materials that morph the beloved 1939 kiddie tune into a Palestinian resistance cry called “The Wheels on the Tank.” “The wheels on the tanks go round...

I have always used Brave browser to do my online banking. Now, when I try to log in using Brave, all my login attempts are rejected and I have to resort to using Safari, which works. I tried to contact Support at Brave, but they have their website so obfuscated as to make it impossible to ask for support (which I'm sure is their intent). Has anyone experienced a similar problem, that Brave is now messing up logging in to a particular website that always used to work?

In the depths of World War II, as war engulfed Europe, the International Red Cross (IRC) came to the aid of millions of prisoners held by Germany. The Red Cross helped millions of Allied soldiers languishing in German POW camps - but pointedly refused to press Nazi Germany on access to the concentration camps where millions of Jews were imprisoned and murdered. Today, the Red Cross - officially named “The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement” - is in danger of repeating its mistakes of World War II, as it fails to press for aid to Israeli hostages in...

The Council on American Islamic Relations held a news conference Tuesday calling for the firing of a doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital. CAIR took issue with comments Dr. Darren Klugman made on social media regarding the Israel-Hamas war. The council also wants the Maryland Board of Physicians to revoke his license. "Dr. Klugman's role requires him to care for all children. His views tell us he views Palestinian children as subhuman. These words reflect hate," CAIR Maryland director Zainab Chaudry. Chaudry is has come under fire for her own social media posts. She was temporarily suspended from the Commission on...

I was trying to catch up on yesterday's Steve Bannon program, since I could not watch it on Saturday (it's the Sabbath). But the web page is not functioning. I tried a different browser, but had the same results. You can see the thumbnails for the different episodes, but if you click on them, nothing happens. They won't play. It was functioning earlier, but now it won't play. Did some libtard managed a DOS attack or something?

to all FReepers who observe it!

I know I've lined up what I hope will be the best sources for the Black Friday shopping list I assembled. What about you, fellow FReepers?

After more than 300 Israelis were murdered in an unprovoked attack by Hamas, operating out of the Gaza Strip, Magen David Adom could certainly use your help in providing medical care and other relief to the more than 2200 Israelis wounded in the attack. Magen David's figures differ from that in the general news; they are claiming 600 Israelis were murdered, which could be from some of the wounded succumbing to their wounds. "Magen David Adom is Israel’s national paramedic and Red Cross service. A leader in mass-casualty response and EMS technology, MDA treats and transports almost 1 million people...

A team of researchers has developed an inhalable vaccine that successfully protects against the COVID virus. It also opens the door to delivering other messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics for gene replacement therapy and other treatments in the lungs. Results of the study, led by Prof. Mark Saltzman, are published in Science Translational Medicine. For the vaccine, the researchers demonstrated that two intranasal doses of the treatment, made with nanoparticles carrying mRNA COVID vaccine, is effective in mice. It also demonstrates that an inhalable delivery system allows for minimally invasive and lung-targeted mRNA delivery, potentially applicable for numerous pulmonary diseases in...
