TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida sent 85 pallets worth of cargo to Israel on two successful plane launches under an emergency executive order from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Departing Tuesday, DeSantis’ office said the planes will reach Israel Wednesday. The planes are carrying medical supplies, clothing, hygiene products and toys. “With the lack of leadership in Washington, we are stepping up to help our allies in Israel who are in need of supplies and our support,” DeSantis said. “As we continue to bring back Americans who were stranded in Israel when the war began, we will also keep sending the necessary health...

One of the slimiest politicians in the nation is now under federal investigation. The federal government is expanding its probe into New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo is already under investigation by both the FBI and the United States Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn over reports his office deliberately hid data on how many deaths resulted from his pandemic nursing home policy, which mandated that long-term and adult care facilities accept recovering COVID-19 patients even if they were still testing positive for the virus. The feds are now looking into whether Gov. Cuomo gave his...

I believe Donald Trump's meteoric and sustained rise is a direct result of Obama's largely successful campaign to fundamentally transform America and the establishment Republicans' unwillingness to fight back. Grassroots conservatives have wanted someone to stand up to Obama and stand up for our nation -- and they are sick and tired of Beltway politicians and pundits alike patronizingly assuring them that nothing extraordinary is occurring and to calm down. "We'll take care of it after we're re-elected." Sure. Yes, some of these establishment, moderate or, if you prefer, unexcitable types have finally come around, belatedly acknowledging Obama's intentions but...

This kitty was lucky that the "world's strongest redneck" found him in time!

UPDATE: Mocek has been found not guilty of all four charges. (From another link FR barred me from posting part of the reason for prevailing on the ID issue is he had to submit ID along with a boarding pass just to enter security.... On November 15, 2009, Phil Mocek stepped into the main terminal at the Albuquerque International Sunport planning to board a Southwest Airlines flight bound for SeaTac. He carried with him two pieces of luggage, a boarding pass, and a cell phone capable of recording audio and video. What he didn't have was a valid form of...

In totally badass news, a Central District woman chewed out and scared off a man who broke into her home and threatened her with a gun last weekend. Police say the woman was sleeping in her home near Pratt Park in the early morning hours of August 21st when a man turned on the lights in her bedroom. "The suspect quickly turned off the lights and said, 'give me all your money! I have a gun,'" a police report says. The woman didn't see a gun so, according to the report, "she quickly got out of bed and confronted the...

Anyone with a lick of common sense will tell you that when you are in a hole, you need to quit digging. Continuing to dig will only create a larger problem. Next year, America's total debt is expected to exceed $14 trillion. Each American's share of that debt totals just short of $50,000. If Fedzilla would be honest and put all the figures on the table, we would see that we are in debt more than $100 trillion because of the financial obligations for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That's $100 trillion. One hundred percent predictable, 100 percent preventable. This...

Fox is saying on cable TV that Duncan Hunter is having a press conference today at 2:00. They are speculating that he is dropping out. Nothing on the web yet.

To his grandchildren, the 61-year-old Pasadena homeowner is simply "Papa Joe." To longtime friends, Joe Horn is an "average Joe" who leads a rather quiet, dull life as a retired communications computer manager on the outskirts of Houston. But since being catapulted into a national debate for fatally shooting two men he says were burglarizing the house next door, Horn is called everything from a "hero" to a "murdering vigilante." All the furor forced him into seclusion as news media nationwide clamored for interviews and one anonymous caller even made a death threat against him. But now for the first...

Her name throws people. The vision and voice behind the Illinois Minuteman Civil Defense and its suburban mobilization is, in fact, Hispanic. Rosanna Pulido contends her heritage and her gender - she's the only woman to head a state Minuteman branch - make her an effective leader for those who say illegal immigration must be thwarted, borders sealed and laws enforced. So, too, do her ethnic roots confound immigrant activists who wonder why the granddaughter of a Mexican farmer and a Christian who once ministered to Mexico's poor would put security over solidarity. Pulido, a 50-year-old Chicago native, shrugs off...

“I didn't even think- that's what scares me the most is that I just reacted." Brent Carey is still reliving the horror of Sunday afternoon. What started as a relaxing day at the park with his girlfriend Jessica Turner and her dog Chance, ended in a battle against a ten foot gator. “I can't close my eyes without seeing that gator over Chance's head- it's awful,” Turner says. She says the full-grown gator grabbed Chance while he was in the water swimming and started dragging him away. “I could almost grab him and I thought I'm going to die right...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff promised Tuesday to end the ``catch and release'' policy that has allowed tens of thousands of non-Mexican illegal aliens to disappear within the United States. ``Return every single illegal entrant - no exceptions,'' Chertoff said in prepared testimony to a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on proposals to overhaul the immigration system. Chertoff was joined by Labor Secretary Elaine Chao in presenting administration views on the illegal immigrant problem. He said President Bush remains committed to a comprehensive approach including gaining control of the border, enforcing workplace laws and establishing a temporary worker...

Many people have been burning up the phone lines to the show today, and firing off e-mails, about a radio interview Tom Tancredo did yesterday with WFLA host Pat Campbell. One of the main complaints made against Hugh today has been that Tancredo's comments were not made in context. Here's a link to WFLA's site, where the audio from the original interview is posted. Listen for yourself. Here's the text of what Pat Campbell asked him, and what he said: PC: Now here's the other thing, too, with the possibility of an attack. I had Juval Aviv on the program...

There has been much speculation about what Tom Tancredo said on the now famous interview last Friday on WFLA-AM in Orlando, Fla. From what I am reading here on FR, much of that speculation is wrong. Tancredo was, in fact, suggesting that we consider (not implement, just consider implementing) a strategy similar to the strategy that Reagan used to win the Cold War. Listen for yourself. HERE If you think Tancredo is a nut case, and you don't want to change your thinking, move along, this clip isn't for you. Just post your thoughts without listening.

A SEX-mad donkey has been banished to a deserted island after bonking females in a national park SIXTEEN times a day. Wardens said randy Aga’s antics had offended visitors and driven nervous members of his wild herd into hiding. But they claim the donkeys have now recovered. A spokesman at Croatia’s Telascica National Park said: “With Aga gone, they’ve come out of hiding and are mixing with visitors again.”

I just want to say thank you to all Freepers for the constant support of the military. I'm shipping out tonight and wanted to express my gratitude for every word of support you all express. Have a good one at the GWB ball, and I'll be with you in spirit. Thanks again and God Bless you...
