Free Republic

Reckless government spending. Incessant money printing. Historically high interest rates. The worst inflation in 40 years. Despite the Biden administration’s best efforts to deceive them, the American people know that Bidenomics isn’t working. Lucky for the next Republican president, this means that he or she already has a roadmap offering a way out: the policies of President Ronald Reagan, famously known as the four pillars of economic growth.

RUSH: One other thing about this that I think the news media is party to. If you didn´t know any better, you would believe today that Obama is really desirous of having a budget deal. And if you didn´t know any better, you would think Obama is really serious about solving the immigration problem and coming to an agreement on it, even if it´s everything he wants, you would think that that´s what he´s targeting. And if you didn´t know any better, you would think that Obama really, really does want the employment situation to improve.

A sample of the giant black mystery blob that Wainwright hunters discovered this month floating in the Chukchi Sea has been identified. Not bunker oil seeping from an aging, sunken ship. Not a sea monster. It looks to be a stringy batch of algae. "We got the results back from the lab today," said Ed Meggert, of the Department of Environmental Conservation in Fairbanks. "It was marine algae."

"Her office on Monday said Gregoire was out of state, but would not say where or why — other than to say she wasn't going to work for President-elect Obama."

Universe's most energetic particles point to huge black holesThe most energetic particles in the universe – ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays – likely come from supermassive black holes in the hearts of nearby active galaxies, says a study by scientists from nearly 90 research institutions worldwide, including the University of Utah. “We discovered the sources of the highest energy particles in the universe,” says Miguel Mostafa, an assistant professor of physics at the University of Utah and one of 370 scientists and engineers belonging to a 17-nation collaboration that operates the $54 million Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina. “The sources are the...

Scientists have solved a decades-long mystery of a red glow that permeates our Milky Way Galaxy and other galaxies. The red glow is most prominent in a strange, dying star called the Red Rectangle, named for the bizarre structure that surrounds it. The red light, astronomers now say, radiates from invisibly small clusters of dust that are now believed to glow because of newly described molecular forces that oppose each other on very small scales. The glow, called the Extended Red Emission (conveniently ERE for short) has been known but inexplicable for more than 30 years. Researchers suspected carbon-rich molecules...

Riddle of infectious dog cancer solved 15:39 10 August 2006 NewScientist.com news service Andy Coghlan A mysterious contagious cancer which plagues dogs throughout the world may be the first truly transmittable cancer known, a new study suggests. The cancer cells themselves move directly from dog to dog, acting “parasitically” on each infected animal, the researchers say. Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) spreads between dogs through sex or other forms of contact, such as licking and biting, they believe. The same cancer appears to infect dogs throughout the world and probably originated from a cancer in a single wolf, or a...

An alleged hit-and-run driver who police say struck a 20-year-old man was chased down and beaten by the victim’s older brother Thursday night in South Waco. Michael Campbell, 26, was in front of his house in the 3000 block of Mildred Street as his younger brother and two friends were walking home about 9:25 p.m., Waco Police Department spokesman Steve Anderson said. As they got closer to home, Michael Campbell saw a Chevrolet Cavalier driven by 20-year-old Arturo Martinez speeding down the road. The two friends jumped over a parked car to get out of the Cavalier’s way, Anderson said....

Baghdad bridges mystery solved By Francis Harris in Washington (Filed: 14/03/2006) A classified American army report based on interviews with senior Iraqis has cleared up a mystery which has baffled western military experts since the invasion of March 2003. As American units raced towards the capital, military observers had confidently expected Saddam to destroy all the major bridges into Baghdad to give Iraqi forces more time to prepare their defence of the capital. But he did not. According to papers leaked to The New York Times, Saddam told his commanders that the Americans would not seek to capture Baghdad and...

Columbus mystery nearly solved 500 years after death By Phil Stewart Fri Mar 10, 11:30 AM ET ROME (Reuters) - Nearly 500 years after the death of Christopher Columbus, a team of genetic researchers are using DNA to solve two nagging mysteries: Where was the explorer really born? And where the devil are his bones? Debate about origins and final resting place of Columbus has raged for over a century, with historians questioning the traditional theory that he hails from Genoa, Italy. Some say he was a Spanish Jew, a Greek, a Basque or Portuguese. Even the location of his...

Judge Mystery Tammany Hall-Era Figure Disappeared 75 Years Ago, Prompting Decades of Speculation — ABC News has learned New York City detectives have obtained the first new evidence in 73 years in the disappearance of a New York State Supreme Court judge once dubbed "the most missingest man in America" by the city's tabloid newspapers.

For decades, who executed St. Paul police officer James Sackett was considered to be an open secret. But making the case of a 1970 ambush killing that came during a fiery time of race riots and open hatred toward police would be "a long, slow process of hard investigation," predicted the police chief at the time. Prosecutors and police unsealed indictments Saturday against two men who were suspects almost from the beginning. Authorities wouldn't say what the break in the case was, but hinted at the testimony of witnesses who hadn't come forward or been willing to talk. "I don't...

I have solved riddle of the Sphinx, says Frenchman By Nic Fleming, Science Correspondent (Filed: 14/12/2004) Archaeologists, who are able to tell us who built the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, have puzzled over the riddle of the Sphinx for generations.

The last three years, at this time of year, I have put out my hummingbird feeders and I presently have 12 feeders hanging around my house, each feeder has 5-6 birds around it. I have hummingbirds everywhere. Now, over these last three years each evening as I go out to refill the feeders I catch sight of a strange looking 'bird' that quickly disappears so fast that I began to question whether I actually saw anything. Well, three days ago I finally got a good look at one of these critters. It is a hummingbird looking thing but a little...
