Seattle is scrambling to raise the $5,000-a-day hotel costs for 240 asylum seekers who overtook a school play area with tents and foreign flags in a takeover locals called 'threatening.'. Seattle City Council members say they're working with Mayor Bruce Harrell's office to find an emergency solution to the cadre of migrants who camped at Garfield Tennis Courts, part of a community center used by local schools. A $50,000 donation has paid for the migrants and their children to return to the Quality Inn Hotel in Kent, but it's not clear what they will do when the cash for 61...

The State Department reportedly told staffers in a memo they should avoid using gendered phrases like “mother” or “father” for fear of offense.

This is the moment when the first grenade came over the wall while people were peacefully protesting. Note how packed the crowd is.

The Washington Post published then deleted a political cartoon depicting a spokesman for Hamas after the paper received backlash. Many readers felt the cartoon, which was published on Wednesday, was racist and offensive — promting WaPo opinion editor David Shipley to issue an apology. The cartoon by Michael Ramirez, which can still be found online...

@DougAMacgregor You have a understandable and justified interest from Israel to Destroy Hamas. However, I think the current plan will provoke an enormous reaction from the Muslim world. Pretty much everyone from Indonesia to Morocco is going to be extremely upset and I think we will see the front against Israel in the region coalesce into a real Military alliance against Israel. We need to protect Israel from itself. The problem is, it takes a President who has the authority and strength to tell the Israeli Government no, you can not go into Gaza and execute the plans you have.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier Wednesday, Jim Jordan lost a second bid for Speaker after 22 RINOs voted against him in a jealous fit.This marked the second time Jordan failed to achieve the necessary votes to become Speaker thanks to Republicans not sticking together.Their constituents responded to this betrayal by melting the phone lines and sending email messages demanding they reverse their illogical opposition to the Ohio conservative and ardent Biden opponent.Some of these Jordan-hating RINOs instead took to social media to lash out at We the People for daring to criticize their stances. Notice a few played up...

Carlson is far less kind about his colleagues in the press. “They're all fearful people,” the 54-year-old scoffs. Instead of holding the powerful to account, “they do exactly the opposite.” Indeed, “they do their bidding.” Looking ahead to the Presidential elections in 2024, he says: “They're trying to put Trump in prison for the crime of running against Joe Biden … That's what this election's about. Are we going to allow that, or aren't we? And I just don't think we can.”

<p>CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - City leaders voted to move a Ten Commandments monument out of a public park after an anti-gay preacher proposed his own monument saying slain college student Matthew Shepard is in hell. The Rev. Fred Phelps said displaying the Ten Commandments monument would force the city to allow other public displays as well, including his own.</p>

TEMECULA, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California school board has voted to approve a social studies curriculum for elementary students, resolving a dispute with Gov. Gavin Newsom over lesson plans that mentioned the state’s first openly gay elected public official.

Country Music Television (CMT) has caved to the “woke” mob and pulled Jason Aldean’s music video for his new anti-crime hit song, “Try That in a Small Town,” from the air. The video has received more than 346,000 views on YouTube since its release. According to NBC: “Country Aircheck’s add chart on Monday showed the single having been added to 125 stations, which normally would augur for a major hit. (The highest number of stations reporting adds for any current hit is 156.) “It looks to be a major success, from that start, although not nearly as strong as Dan...

BBC malice Anja Gadgil, in her promoting antisemitic bloodlibel (as if IDF just "wants to" or "happy to", etc.), quoted (on July 4, 2023) the UN in terming the butchers as "children," ... The very infamous UNRWA who shares responsibility in Arab Jihadi crimes on their own people and on Israelis. A day after that vile anti-Semitic slur/idea, Jeremy Bowen "avenging" BBC was in overdrive presenting the gunmen as heroes. From his reporting which was a mishmash of chronology and Shahid propaganda, you might get confused from the rambling that the 18 years old Arabs are "refugees" since 1948 -...

Baseball bat-wielding gangs of children are mugging mothers and nannies on the school run in the latest crime wave to hit San Francisco. Last week Noe Valley, also known as “stroller valley” because of the growing population of young families, endured 11 phone robberies that are believed to have been carried out by the same gang who are targeting women picking up children from school. One woman was reportedly hit with a baseball bat, while another was punched in the face, before the offender ran to a getaway car and drove off. There has been a 11 per cent increase...

As Russia amassed troops on the Ukrainian border, Russian President Vladimir Putin, his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, and other Russian officials repeatedly denied that their country had plans to invade Ukraine. They blamed the U.S., Ukraine and others for the tension, insisting that Russia is a “peaceful country” and that it is “not going to attack anyone.” That, of course, was proven false when Russia launched a full-scale invasion against Ukraine on Feb. 24 — two days after Russian tanks rolled into eastern Ukraine on a “peace-keeping” mission.

The National Republican Congressional Committee quietly deleted a fundraising page Saturday that took aim at one of their largest donors, the parent company of Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch. The NRCC’s back peddling follows conservatives calling for a boycott of the beer company after they partnered with transgender TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney. On Saturday morning, the powerful committee that provides support to Republican congressional campaigns blasted out a tweet calling for supporters to donate to the NRCC and, in exchange, be given a custom drink koozie. “Thanks to Dylan Mulvaney, we can all finally admit that Bud Light tastes like water,” the...

Only MTG bothered to show up in NY during the Trump indictment. Where is everyone? Where is the unity? Where is the backing of Trump by the very people we voted for? Where are the statements condemning this as a party on this day? They want us to ‘come out’ and support them but I don’t see them supporting us. A historic day - no republican politicians (except MTG) anywhere……what more do you need to know about the democrat self serving cowards we voted for?

Our Rights DC, the group behind Saturday's "Trans Day of Vengeance" protest outside the Supreme Court, has announced that the event has been cancelled due to a "credible threat to life and safety." The event, which was originally scheduled for the "Transgender Day of Visibility," as designated by President Joe Biden, was widely criticized following Monday's mass shooting in Nashville in which trans-identified 28-year-old Audrey Hale murdered six people, including three children. "This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety," Our Rights DC wrote on Twitter. "The safety of our trans...

Apparently, you don’t have to be that bright to get into Stanford’s law school, formerly regarded as highly competitive and demanding in its legal education. The budding totalitarians there who don’t believe in free speech for people with whom they disagree also apparently believe that they have to right to control news coverage of their heinous acts. Are they ashamed of what they did, or do they just worry that they may not be able to cash in after graduation with lucrative offers or prestigious clerkships? Washington Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium “appeared Sunday on Fox News and shared his...

Fresh off winning back the House of Representatives, Republican leaders have a great idea on how to capitalize on the power voters have given them: Give Democrats exactly what they want. We’ve already seen that play out with the passage of the Orwellian-named “Respect for Marriage Act,” which enshrined gay marriage at the federal level. A dozen Republican senators chose to not stand up and force the passage of Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment that would have protected religious liberty, and naturally, the next betrayal is already being prepared. Sen. Mitch McConnell has been meeting with the White House and is...

"I find that very disheartening," he concluded. Two members of the Mohave County, Ariz., Board of Supervisors on Monday voted to certify the results of the Nov. 8 midterm elections "under duress," claiming he was forced to do so under threat of jail time. "I vote 'aye' under duress. I found out today that I have no choice but to vote 'Aye' or I will be arrested and charged with a felony," Gould said while casting his vote. "I don't think that that is what the founders had in mind when they used the democratic process to elect our leaders."...
