  • Travis Kelce opens up on Harrison Butker as a Chiefs teammate and his speech

    If there was any Chiefs teammate who would refer to kicker Harrison Butker as “Harry,” then you knew it was tight end Travis Kelce, right? Kelce let that tidbit be known in the latest episode of the New Heights podcast. Butker was a topic of conversation for Kelce and his brother Jason, the podcast co-host. “I probably might be the only person that calls him Harry,” Travis Kelce said as his brother laughed. “I’ve known him for eight-plus years and I cherish him as a teammate…He’s treated family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And...

    “Donald Trump doesn’t trust women. I do. ” — “Joe Biden” on “X”. There comes a time when the rigors and exertions of being insane just aren’t worth it anymore. You end up in a deadly Pareto distribution in which 80 percent of your energy gets wasted on hallucinating and the rest is barely enough to get yourself dressed, comb your purple hair, and choke down a granola bar. Verging on a long, hot summer, the party behind “Joe Biden” looks like a 1950s horror movie, complete with lurching ghouls, evil scientists in white lab coats, and the sore beset...
  • When I Went To The Doctor For Kidney Stones, She Cared More About Pronouns Than Patient Care

    The Federalist ^ | 05/24/2024 | Christopher Jacobs
    When I woke one recent morning to severe pain from a bout of kidney stones, I knew I had an excruciating day ahead of me. I didn’t realize how excruciating until I arrived at George Washington University Hospital’s emergency room where one of the ER’s resident physicians greeted me wearing a pin: “Ask Me About My Pronouns.” The remainder of my morning became a real-life demonstration of how woke physicians prioritize ideology over patient care. The bloodwork taken upon my arrival showed a high white blood cell count, and during my stay, I complained of pain in both my kidneys....

    Christian Post ^ | 05/24/2024 | Samantha Kamman
    Trans-identifying adults who underwent body-mutilating surgeries as part of an effort to look like the opposite sex had an elevated suicide attempt risk, according to a recent study.The study, titled “Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery,” was published in April in the medical science journal Cureus. Researchers conducted the study by assessing over 90 million adults aged 18 to 60. According to the study, individuals who underwent “gender-affirming surgery” had a 12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not. The researchers found that 3.5% of people who had an elective trans surgery were treated for attempting...

    June is approaching, which means the Supreme Court is set to issue all its most important decisions before justices recess for the summer. Thanks to the Democrats‘ relentless campaign to delegitimize the nation’s justice system, the arrival of June also now means it is time for media hit pieces on conservative Supreme Court justices and their families. Right on schedule, the New York Times released a doozy of a tendentious article last week dredging up a story about an upside-down American flag hung at Justice Samuel Alito’s home … three years ago! Democrats want people to believe Alito flew the...

    Issues & Insights ^ | 24 May, 2024 | I & I Editorial Board
    Next Tuesday both sides will present their closing arguments in the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a case that exists for one reason only: to stop Trump from ever occupying the White House again. But what if this doesn’t work? What if there’s a hung jury or, worse yet, an acquittal? What if none of the 88 trumped-up felony charges results in a conviction and voters actually have a chance to elect Trump, should they prefer him over the decrepit failure known as Joe Biden? What is the Democrats’ Plan B? They must have...

    New American Prophet ^ | May 24, 2024 | Dr. Michael Brown
    In an absolutely indefensible, morally reprehensible ruling, Germany has greatly reduced the legal consequences of child pornography. There is no universe in which such a ruling can be justified. The very thought of it is despicable. As reported on the Feminist website Reduux, “Germany’s Parliament (Bundestag) has received the votes necessary to remove a section of the Criminal Code which made the possession of child sexual abuse materials a felony crime.

    American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2024 | Kris Larsen
    A study of the Canadian Indian schoolchildren mass murder hoax is accused of "hate" and "denialism." The Quesnel, British Columbia city council's censorious response to the revealing, well researched, and well documented book, Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us And the Truth About Residential Schools (editors Tom Flanagan and Chris Champion, 2023) is, sadly enough, more grist for the woke mill. Cancel culture is running amok throughout the West and Quesnel (Pronounced Quinn-L) is merely its microcosm. The book is a collection of essays by academics, journalists, and others debunking claims that First Nations children went missing (victims of...
  • Good vs. evil? ‘Fake news!’ say leftists

    American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2024 | Eric Utter
    Those in the mainstream media are “willing whores” for the Biden administration—and other leftists/progressives/Marxists. They dutifully cover for the doddering old American Pharaoh. They are utterly shameless when it comes to deciding which stories they will cover and which they will hide, and how they will cover or hide them. They are eager to find out who Trump’s pick for vice-president is going to be, so they can start savaging him or her with all due haste. Which gives me an idea: perhaps Trump could stun them—and maybe even win the election—were he to pick a transgender for his running...

    American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2024 | John A. Gentry
    On May 16, Foreign Policy magazine published an article by three experienced intelligence officers, including one who has chronically politicized U.S. intelligence, who argued that the U.S. intelligence community (IC) is getting a bad rap at a critical point in history for unfortunate, unjustified reasons. Only the first part of the assertion is correct. Far more accurate would have been a judgment that the declining respect for the IC reflected in polls is a direct result of the recent partisan political activism and dishonesty of ostensibly respectable senior former intelligence officers and many inaccurate “leaks” by current intelligence officers, mainly...

    American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2024 | J.B. Shurk
    Tyranny takes hold when good people are lulled into inaction. Those of us who mind our own business and prefer government to leave us alone are particularly prone to falling into this trap. Because we have no use for government, we hope government will have no use for us. So we are silent while evil grows far from our homes. We tend to our basic comforts and ignore evil as it nears. And, eventually, we even collaborate with evil in order to avoid making a public scene. In an effort to “get by” without causing too many waves, tyranny’s waves...

  • Why paying women to have more babies won’t work

    The Economist ^ | 05/23/2024
    As birth rates plunge, many politicians want to pour money into policies that might lead women to have more babies. Donald Trump has vowed to dish out bonuses if he returns to the White House. In France, where the state already spends 3.5-4% of gdp on family policies each year, Emmanuel Macron wants to “demographically rearm” his country. South Korea is contemplating handouts worth a staggering $70,000 for each baby. Yet all these attempts are likely to fail, because they are built on a misapprehension. Governments’ concern is understandable. Fertility rates are falling nearly everywhere and the rich world faces...

  • The embarrassing truth about MLG’s so-called ‘zero-emission’ fire truck (New Mexico)

    The Piñon Post ^ | May 23, 2024 | Piñon Post staff
    Recent reports reveal that the celebrated “all-electric” or “zero emissions” fire trucks, being lauded from San Diego to Portland to Albuquerque, are not as environmentally friendly as advertised. Each of these new fire trucks, purchased with the assistance of federal funding, is equipped with a diesel engine to ensure functionality when the electric battery is depleted. This revelation highlights a significant discrepancy between the marketed image of these trucks and their actual operational design. The report indicates that each of these supposedly zero-emission trucks includes a diesel engine to guarantee that it can still pump water or drive if the...

    How bad is President Joe Biden’s border crisis? So bad that even the illegal immigrants are complaining about the lack of security. Intrepid Fox News reporter Bill Melugin interviewed a Turkish national who just illegally crossed the southern border in Jacumba, California, a small town 70 miles east of San Diego, after paying a Mexican cartel $10,000. “In fact, American people is right, completely true,” the migrant tells Melugin. “Who comes into this country? They don’t know. OK. I’m good. But how if they’re not good? How if they are killers, psychopath, else? No guarantee of that. No security, no...

    A high-flying Texas judge overseeing a number of significant criminal trials has mysteriously been missing from the courtroom for nearly a month amid concerns of manic behavior and a police interaction, according to a report. Judge Kelli Johnson, one of Harris County’s longest-serving current jurists, hasn’t been seen at the 178th District Courthouse in Houston since May 1 — with no explanation on where she has gone or when she’s set to return, ABC13 reported. A court spokesperson has so far only confirmed “Johnson is out for personal matters” after initially refusing to address the judge’s unexplained absence. But an...
