    Supporters of Rick Ledesma and Madison Miner, members of the Orange Unified School District's Board of Trustees, who are targets of a recall campaign by a coalition of politicians and public employees' unions, rallied in Orange, California during the first weekend in March, 2024. Ledesma and Miner are conservatives who favor academically rigorous curricula, parent's rights and charter schools and oppose the ideological indoctrination of students. The rallies took place in Orange, on Chapman Avenue on Friday, March 1, and at the traffic circle in the heart of Old Town Orange the next day. On Sunday, March 3, they held...

    The culture war has come to the streets of Anaheim, California, where two conservative members of the Orange Unified School District Board of Trustees are fighting an attempt to recall them. Rick Ledesma and Madison Miner are outspoken defenders of parental rights and of keeping parents informed about their children’s health and safety. They support the adoption of rigorous scholarly and academic curricula. They seek to prevent overtly racist and divisive ideology from seeping into the classroom and also to keep sexually explicit materials out of school libraries. And they support charter schools. In doing so, they have ruffled feathers...

    During a ritzy fundraising gala in the Bay Area this week also attended by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden claimed that today's Republicans were "worse" than "real racists" he's worked with in the past. The president even went so far as to suggest that segregationist Strom Thurmond had a better record when it came to race than members of the GOP in 2024. "I've been a senator since '72," Biden told the audience, per the New York Post. "I've served with real racists. I've served with Strom Thurmond." "I've served with all these guys that have terrible records...

    HUNTINGTON BEACH, California, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Bisecting a wide sandy beach, the Huntington Beach pier beckons tourists and surfers alike, creating a break in the waves that helps gives the city its nickname: Surf City, USA. It is a scene as laidback as the name would suggest - and a stark contrast to the political hostility spilling out of City Hall just a short drive inland.

    On the morning of February 7, 2024, when Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley appeared at the Wild Goose Tavern in Costa Mesa, Calif. for a “meet and greet” event, supporters of President Donald Trump showed up to meet her and greet her in their own way. Carrying banners, placards and flags, they sang Steam’s 1969 hit “Kiss Him Goodbye” and chanted slogans calling on her to drop out of the presidential race, expressing support for her archrival Vivek Ramaswamy and for building the border wall.

    Donald Trump was convicted and found liable for sexual assault. Ask yourself if supporting a rapist for President reflects your family values. The Lincoln Project is a leading pro-democracy organization in the United States — dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy. Our fight against Trumpism is only beginning. We must combat these forces everywhere and at all times — our democracy depends on it.

    In a groundbreaking move for the New England Patriots, Jerod Mayo steps in as the team's first black head coach, bringing with him a fresh perspective on race and its role in the sport. Mayo's recent statements about actively confronting racism and acknowledging the significance of race in the coaching realm have sparked considerable conversation, especially against the backdrop of contrasting views from other NFL coaches. Emphasizing the importance of his role, Mayo stated, “You better believe being the first black head coach here in New England means a lot to me. I do see color because I believe if...

    On January 13, 2024, more than a thousand people led by A. J. Hurley of the White Rose Resistance, a Christian activist group, gathered in Miller Park in Fontana, California to rally in favor of parents’ rights. They demanded that the Fontana school district adopt a parent notification policy in which children could not be socially transitioned without parental consent. They also called out Planned Parenthood for its sex education curricula related to sexual identity. After rallying in the park, the crowd marched through the streets of Fontana in a noisy but orderly demonstration.

    More than 1,000 people took to the grassy area in front of the Miller Park Amphitheater in Fontana on Saturday, Jan. 13, to protest against school district policies they say socially transition children without parental consent. The crowd waved signs calling for an end to abortion and proclaiming their rights as parents to be involved in their children’s lives. Several American flags peaked over the heads of the crowd decked in T-shirts with sayings such as “Leave Our Kids Alone” in large bold letters as a Christian worship band opened the rally. The rally and march Saturday joined a growing...
  • U.S. announces policy of “massive retaliation” against Communist aggressors (January 12, 1954)

    In a speech at a Council on Foreign Relations dinner in his honor, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles announces that the United States will protect its allies through the “deterrent of massive retaliatory power.” The policy announcement was further evidence of the Eisenhower administration’s decision to rely heavily on the nation’s nuclear arsenal as the primary means of defense against communist aggression. Dulles began his speech by examining communist strategy that, he concluded, had as its goal the “bankruptcy” of the United States through overextension of its military power. Both strategically and economically, the secretary explained, it was unwise...

    One of California’s most recognizable roadside restaurants has closed without so much as a goodbye to longtime fans and travelers. Pea Soup Andersen’s, the staple Central Coast destination in Buellton, California — just off Highway 101 en route to the Danish holiday town Solvang — has gone dark, and rumors are swirling that the property itself may be redeveloped for housing. The property was previously listed for sale for just under $5 million in 2021, but no buyer was publicly announced. The restaurant has a robust history on the Central Coast, claiming at its height to serve 2 million cups...

    Mediaite ^ | January 8, 2024 | Ken Meyer
    Conservative commentator Ann Coulter had little patience for Vivek Ramaswamy as the Republican presidential candidate went fully conspiratorial about January 6th. Once upon a time, Ramaswamy called the events of January 6th a “disgrace,” and he condemned Donald Trump over the former president’s actions that fueled his supporters into violently revolting against the results of the 2020 election. Now that Ramaswamy is running for president as a Trump-boosting alternative, he decided to mark January 6th as “Entrapment Day” on X while dredging up the Ray Epps conspiracy theory. Ever since the storming of the Capitol, Trump’s defenders have tried to...

    January 6th was the darkest day in American history. It was the greatest threat to our Democracy since the Civil War. Donald Trump encouraged his supporters at assault the Capitol and threaten members of congress and his Vice President. Our Democracy prevailed but we must take a moment to remember how fragile put democracy is. I demand that Americans take off school and work to remember January 6th as a holiday to reflect on the events that happened on that day and how our Democracy can survive other National tragedies like The Civil War, World War I, World War II,...

    Claudine Gay has resigned as the president of Harvard University. Gay first came under fire after testifying before Congress about the rise in antisemitism on college campuses. She has since been hit with a slew of plagiarism accusations. The university said it found "duplicative language" in Gay's doctoral dissertation, but it did not rise to the level of research misconduct. Gay was the first Black individual to lead the Ivy League school and only the second female.

    Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley sparked a backlash on social media, including from conservatives, after she was asked about the cause of the Civil War and didn't mention slavery in her answer. Haley, who served six years as South Carolina's governor and then two years as the ambassador to the United Nations, was asked by a voter during a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday to identify the cause of the Civil War. "I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run," she said. "The freedoms and what people could and...

    "A Merry American Christmas” by Kate Smith, 1941 Columbia 36443 This record was released in 1941 and recorded before the US entered World War 2. It is a fitting song for what transpired on December 7, 1941, to help soldiers and their families as the war started and progressed. Years of horror were to come but I am sure this song by a very popular singer of her day helped many folks through the holiday seasons of the war. Kate Smith was one of my mother’s favorite singers as she grew up. They were about the same age and my...

    Rising above the 7th Arrondissement of Paris is the gold dome of Les Invalides, a landmark that serves as both a French military museum and the final resting place of the nation’s greatest general, Napoleon Bonaparte. The engravings surrounding his sarcophagus depict him as one of the ancients, adorned with laurels and togas next to tablets listing his vast accomplishments. Napoleon’s legacy as both a military mastermind and a statesman is hard to summarize — and complicated to assess. Similarly, there’s just too much to the man to capture in a single film. Still, the tagline of celebrated director Ridley...
