There's no official YouTube stats breakdown by country for these specifically (they don't label "AI slop" channels), but from discussions on Reddit, articles on content farms, and...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has a lot of embarrassing distinctions from a political standpoint, not the least of which is being part of one of the few vice presidential debates people actually remember, with JD Vance absolutely cleaning his clock in October 2024 without breaking a sweat. After getting humiliated the following month as well, one would think that Walz would lie low in 2025 to avoid further national embarrassment. But, not only has he not done so, he's running for reelection as governor in 2026. Even more amazingly, Walz is rumored to be considering a 2028 presidential run,...

Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack album for ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ has become a seasonal classic, full of magical pieces that stand on their own.The choice of Vince Guaraldi to create the soundtrack for the first A Charlie Brown Christmas Special, which aired on CBS on December 9, 1965, came about by chance – and ended up proving to be an inspirational decision. American television producer Lee Mendelson, the man who produced the show, was looking for someone to do a jazzy soundtrack. He initially tried for Dave Brubeck. “The first call I made was to Dave Brubeck, who was an...

CROSSLAKE, Minn. (KTTC) – In a letter penned by the mayor of Crosslake, and signed by 97 other mayors across the state of Minnesota, top city officials expressed their “deep concern and growing frustration” with the direction the state is heading in. Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst claimed that fraud, unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management at the state level is making it more difficult for cities and towns to plan responsibly and continue offering core services to local taxpayers. “Minnesotans watched an historic $18 billion in surplus disappear in a single biennium, only to now face an updated projected $2.9...

The recent admission by Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, that 315,000 illegally certified votes were included in Georgia’s 2020 final vote totals, has once again raised the issue of the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.After the 2024 election, the New York Times published “An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election,” showing a rightward shift in precincts across the country. Commentators have explained this as a surge in Trump’s support. But the map tells another story: The real shift came from a dramatic drop in Democrat votes between 2020 and 2024. That...

Meismer, a sophomore, eventually asked his teacher to use the restroom. Matthews, a senior, did the same minutes later. The pair allegedly argued there, as Matthews confronted Meismer about a missing THC vape pen that investigators said he believed the younger student had stolen. Moments later, Matthews and Meismer allegedly walked into an empty lab classroom, which an unnamed female student also entered. That is where the fatal stabbing allegedly occurred.

Divorcing a good man is not an act of bravery but an act of self-destruction that harms many others in the process.There’s a big milestone coming up for a lot of families this year: first divorced Christmas. It might be a challenging day of splitting kids between disparate family events. Or, perhaps, Mom and Dad will behave like adults and both show up to the same gathering in an effort to create some normalcy for their children, who, heretofore, might have had an intact family and simple celebrations.For as long as there has been marriage, there have been some people...

The Southern Baptist Convention has squandered much of its moral credibility crusading for leftist causes, such as amnesty and DEI.The rationale used to campaign for sweeping #MeToo overhauls within the nation’s largest Protestant denomination has now been thoroughly discredited. Newly released documents in Sills v. Southern Baptist Convention reveal how unwise decisions by denominational leaders, combined with unethical conduct by investigative consulting group Guidepost Solutions, manipulated Southern Baptists into a manufactured crisis. The result was a self-inflicted unraveling that exposed the denomination to litigation and has already cost $13 million and counting in investigative and legal expenses.The recent revelations center...

As explained in a previous post, the Nativity of Jesus has been celebrated by Christians on December 25 since antiquity. The feast of the Nativity has always been an opportunity for homiletic fireworks on a grand scale, and the Fathers of the Church took full advantage of the sacred day to wax eloquent. In keeping with this theme, here are a few excerpts from some of the earliest extant homilies delivered by various Church Fathers to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. The first comes from Pope Liberius who reigned in the mid-4th century AD....

Few subjects are more touchy that the topic of criminal justice. From the George Floyd incident to “defund the police,” everybody appears to have a strong opinion on the matter. That also holds true for the criticism that leftists are far too soft on crime, oftentimes to the detriment of society. Tragically, the issue reared its ugly head again recently after a horrific shooting in Ohio. According to Fox News, a repeat offender criminal shot and killed an Ohio man just days after a liberal nonprofit had helped pay for his bail, thus getting him out of prison. “Donnie Allen...

TWO men who mowed down a retired police chief will spend decades in prison, despite one of the monsters boasting that he would only get ‘a slap on the wrist’.

For more than half a century, Americans have been urged to shy away from saturated fats, found mainly in animal products. We have been told to cook with canola oil instead of butter, select skim instead of whole milk, and to fill our plates with pasta instead of steak. Paradoxically, decades of adherence to this advice has coincided with rising levels of chronic disease. As people cut more saturated fat from their diets, the nation grew heavier and sicker — not healthier. Put plainly, the war on saturated fat, rooted in the hypothesis that it causes heart disease, has never...

ICE on Long Island has the same problem as ICE everywhere in the USA, that is, Democrats have made it extremely difficult to arrest and deport even the most vicious criminal aliens. CBS News NY’s Local reporter Carolyn Gusoff interviewed Bryan Flanagan, the ICE Assistant Field Office Director for Long Island. He told her about the targets for that day. The targets were three undocumented men living in Hempstead, Nassau County, accused of violent crimes. Flanagan said their first target stabbed a nurse, yet walked free after his court appearance. New York law bars ICE from making an arrest inside...

Suppressing the Holy Mass Has Never Worked… And It Won’t NowWhat if a European country had suppressed the Catholic Church and Her Holy Mass relentlessly, non-stop for 300 years—a time period longer than the United States has even been in existence? Generation after generation of ruthless state-run Catholic suppression. How could that nation possibly remain Catholic? Well, just ask the Irish! The truth is, in spite of millions of Catholics over the centuries losing their freedoms, their earthly possessions—and in the end, their very lives—at the hands of suppressors, this unholy activity has never worked particularly well against the Church...

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele responded to allegations by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the conditions at the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), the country’s maximum-security prison that has received migrants deported from the United States. Bukele was responding to a post on X by Clinton that was accompanied by an 11-minute video of the PBS Frontline documentary titled: “Surviving CECOT.” “Curious to learn more about CECOT?” she wrote. “Hear Juan, Andry, and Wilmer share firsthand how the Trump administration branded them as gang members without evidence and deported them to the brutal El Salvadoran prison.” […] In response,...
