In a move that’s a slap across the face of every patriotic American, the Southern Methodist University in Texas relocated its annual 9/11 memorial flag display from in front of the campus’ iconic Dallas Hall to a less visible area to avoid exposing the community to “triggering, harmful, or harassing” messages. The memorial is the work of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) student group. Since 2015 YAF has organized the 9/11 Never Forget Project, which YAF Chairman Grant Wolf describes as “a memorial of 2,977 American flags in a visually stunning display that represents each of the 2,977 Americans...

Princeton University is looking to hire an “Interpersonal Violence Clinician and Men’s Engagement Manager” to develop programming targeting high-risk, campus-based populations for prevention of “interpersonal violence,” such as sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and stalking. The new position is designed to work closely with the campus’ Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources and Education (SHARE) office, which bills itself as a “survivor-centered, trauma-informed confidential resource on campus for the Princeton University community.” As is implicitly evident by the descriptions of these offices, the men’s program puts forth an aggressor based platform, whereas the women’s platform is victim based.

What is it with Chelsea Handler and syphilis? She seems to have it constantly on her mind. The symptoms of her syphilitic fascination first became evident last April when Handler claimed that President Trump is suffering from the ailment that Handler can't seem to cure herself from thinking about. Handler's latest syphilitic fascination attack happened yesterday at Politicon in Pasadena, California, where she again claimed that Trump has that which she has yet to rid from her thoughts. 

This past week's Senate Judiciary Committee featured Mr. Bill Browder, an international financier with extensive knowledge of the Russian government.  Under questioning from Sen. Lindsey Graham, Browder revealed that the Russians paid Fusion GPS to create the infamous "golden shower dossier" on Trump.  According to Browder, the Russians were looking to stir up trouble to harm Trump's presidential bid.  That's how the Russkies roll, Browder essentially said.  They like to create chaos.   Okay, I'll bite.  Let's pretend it's a hack job by the Russians instead of an inside leak, despite all evidence to the contrary regarding the DNC's compromised server.  If...

San Jose State University is taking no chances with free-thinking freshmen and transfer students, and has mandated microaggression and diversity training with a minimum $250 price tag in its Frosh Orientation. The training is a one-day orientation on campus and focuses on videos depicting skits of microaggressions performed by student actors and encompasses areas such as culture, ethnicity, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation. No portion of the fee is optional and students must participate in every aspect of the day’s programming to be eligible to register for fall classes.

Imam Ammar Shahin is taking heat for a sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis (ICD) last Friday in which he called on Allah to annihilate Jews and “let us a play a part in this,” and liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Israel from “the filth of the Jews.” The Al-Aqsa Mosque is in East Jerusalem, on a holy site for both Jews and Muslims, and has been riddled with conflict and bloodshed as the war rages on between the two sides. Jewish groups are up in arms and calling on Homeland Security. A Muslim within the community chalked it...

As I read the headline on the Democrats’ new slogan, “A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future,” I couldn’t help but wonder who would fall for a party with a “lipstick on a pig” mentality. The party is what it is and no amount of PR, marketing or rebranding is going to change who it is and for what it stands. Maybe more importantly, the Democrats can’t market their way out of the sheer contempt many of us feel toward its party. Schumer and Pelosi can talk until they’re blue in the face, and they still are going...

Claremont College fired its new director for the Queer Resource Center within days of his employment for controversial tweets, and now “student affairs professionals” are crawling out of the woodwork to condemn his termination as “an act of violence.” Dr. Jonathan Higgins was initially welcomed aboard with a warm reception – divisive tweets and all, by those doing the hiring – and was introduced as “a motivational speaker dedicated to empowering all LGBTQ students with an emphasis on students of color,” by a dean at a cluster college. However, within 72 hours of his employment, his tweets had made the...

Should a transgender college student be expected to sit through a college level art course without being “triggered”?   An art professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has resigned after being vilified by LGBT students in what he describes as a toxic and hostile politically correct environment. Professor Michael Bonesteel, an art critic, author, and specialist in the history of comics and the history of outsider art, resigned after 14 years with SAIC when his hours were cut and his healthcare was lost in response to accusations of racism and homophobia when two transgender students...

A librarian at New York University suffered “serious race fatigue” at Chicago’s American Library Association (ALA) last month, experiencing “mounting anger and frustration” after having hit her limit of dealing with white people. April Hathcock, scholarly communication librarian at NYU, summed up her experience at the ALA in her blog as nothing short of a sea of excruciating whiteness. “Five straight days of being tone-policed and condescended to and ‘splained to” by an “88 percent white” profession, she wrote. “Five days of mounting anger and frustration that you struggle to keep below the surface because you can’t be the ‘angry...

Representative Jim Jordan is absolutely brilliant in his questioning of Hillary Clinton. Every American should see this, as he defeats Hillary Clinton in a deadly way. She is speechless, and she pretty much has to pull herself together but fails. It is absolutely beyond any human comprehension how Hillary Clinton is walking free on this earth. How can Democrats possibly be sitting in their high chairs after this video and evidence of the failure of Obama and Clinton to save our men in Benghazi? How can they come after President Trump for nothing, but at the same time, this crime...

University professors are not taking kindly to the latest Pew Research poll numbers showing Republican-leaning voters have an unreceptive view of academia, and some are pointing the finger of blame at conservative media. The June 2017 Pew survey showed 58 percent of right-leaning voters reported higher education has a negative impact on the country. Only 36 percent of Republicans polled held a favorable view – a hefty double-digit loss from the 54 percent favorability polled just two years ago.

A twitter exchange between an Arizona high school teacher and the president of the school district ended with the president calling him and “anti-American Trump hating troll” and the teacher filing a Change.org petition to get her fired. The exchange started when Barry Goldwater High School teacher Aude Odeh, a Palestinian Muslim, responded to a tweet by Deer Valley Unified School board president Kim Fisher in which she regarded an article about President Trump as deceptive on her personal twitter page.

A female appearing as a skinhead with the group Antifa faces charges of attacking a police horse while protesting against the “March Against Sharia” activists with ACT for America in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Saturday morning. The attack unfolded while Harrisburg police and Pennsylvania State Police Troopers on horseback assisted with crowd control as demonstrators made their way from the steps of the capital through the midtown area.

The NYPD is on the warpath over a judge releasing a man after he attacked a female officer in an attempt to steal her gun at a Brooklyn precinct because he wanted to “kill a cop.” Kurdel Emmanuel, 29, was at the 83rd Precinct in Brooklyn Saturday to ask about the status of a friend who had been arrested. At that time, he allegedly attacked a female officer, grabbed onto her belt, and fought with her as he tried to remove her gun from its holster. He was overtaken and arrested.

A black Trump supporter went ballistic on Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters outside her town hall meeting in Gardena, California June 24. A crowd of Trump supporters positioned themselves outside the town hall with Trump signs and a bullhorn, going off on the congresswoman for being a black racist and destroying the black community by giving American jobs to illegals. “Maxine Waters destroyed the black community. Not only in California… she went throughout the United States teaching other corrupt black politicians how to bring down the black community. She destroyed the black community with illegal immigration. I lost my job because...

Great news, Republicans! Hillary Clinton, the Most Corrupt Woman in America, still refuses to go quietly into that good night. Over the weekend, she was letting it be known to any idiot who still listens to her – which includes the majority of the voter base for the Democrat Party – that she plans to take a “major role” in killing…errrr, ummm…”helping” Democrat congressional candidates get slaughtered by….errrrr, ummmm….”defeat” Republicans and turn enough GOP districts to regain control of the House of Representatives. (Boy, it was hard to type that with a straight face.) Yes, friends, the very worst, least...

A professor at University of Kansas went on a racist tweeting tirade last month, commenting that the only people who believe in President Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great Again,” are those deeply invested in white supremacy and the killing of black and brown people. This gem of anti-white racism came out of Subini Annamma, an assistant professor in the university’s special education department, along with an eclectic collection of declarations sure to earn her high regards at today’s anti-white institutions of higher education.

Dana Powell of Tampa was sentenced to four months in jail after rioting at the Inauguration Day protest in Washington D.C. that injured six officers and caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage. Powell, 31, pleaded guilty to two felony charges – assault on a police officer and inciting a riot – and asked Judge Lynne Leibovitz for “leniency.” He also asked for “forgiveness for anyone who was scared, hurt or felt threatened.” According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, a factual proffer signed by Powell, on January 20, 2017, stated he joined together with more than 200 other...

Three California State University, Fullerton students have found themselves embroiled in a lawsuit filed by California State Democrats for their recall efforts targeting California State Senator Josh Newman (Fullerton-D) after he was allegedly the deciding factor in a Democratic supermajority passing a significant increase to vehicle registration and gas taxes. The petition to have Newman recalled garnered 85,000 signatories, easily surpassing the required 63,593. A recall election allows voters to remove an elected official from office through a direct vote before their term has ended. Amanda McGuire, Ryan Hoskins, and Brooke Paz of the College Republicans (CR) club of CSUF...
