My criticism here is not aimed at the police.But the judges and district attorneys are not doing their job.Here is my hypothesis: The people...

They were plastered throughout the Demarest Hall dorm on Thursday morning. “I don’t feel safe in my own dorm,” said Schafer, 19. Students at Rutgers University participating in a die-in protest organized by the Endowment Justice Collective, calling attention to killings in...

Baltimore leader Brandon Scott appeared on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show to assert that white conservatives “should be afraid” of the consequences of calling him the ‘DEI Mayor’ and that his “purpose in life” was to make them uncomfortable. Yes, really. Professional race-bator Reid angrily asserted that when right-wingers make fun of DEI, they actually mean just “black people,” claiming, “It’s the reason they complained about Critical Race Theory, it’s not fashionable to be openly racist anymore in America.” She then welcomed Scott, who dresses and acts like a Black Lives Matter activist, to address the horrifically “racist” fact that right-wingers...

With the world still reeling from former President Donald Trump's brazen, horrifying, and not-at-all-taken-out-of-context prediction of a "bloodbath" if he loses in November, everything he has said in the past is now being scrutinized. Does he have a history of calling for violence? The Babylon Bee has put together the following list of nine other times Trump has obviously called for bloodshed: When he told an actor to "break a leg": Wishing physical pain and suffering on an innocent Hollywood entertainer is no laughing matter. When he said the chocolate cake at Mar-a-Lago was "to die for": Calling all of...

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt spawned headlines this month for telling a flagrantly misleading anecdote about sex trafficking during the GOP response to President Biden’s State of the Union address. The way she politicized and misrepresented the context and timeline of the story presented was immoral, exploitative and wrong. But the hard truth is that kidnapping, violence and sexual exploitation remain a reality at the border — and in reality, Britt is among a legion of conservative voices whose anti-asylum policy stances would make the situation far worse. While the media has focused on her factual distortions, they haven’t yet fully...

Violence and crime are already completely out of control all over the United States. In fact, you definitely wouldn’t want to be caught in the streets when hordes of our lawless young people are running wild. If things are this bad already, what is going to happen if the election in November does not go the way that leaders on the left want and they give the green light to millions of radicals to cause widespread chaos all over America? I think that we got a small preview of what this could look like during the riots of 2020. Unfortunately,...
