Some Saturday Night Live viewers were left less than impressed with a sketch featuring Adele that poked fun at sex tourism in Africa. The singer, 32, hosted the most recent episode of the sketch show and received praise for her comedic skills. However, some were unhappy with a sketch that made fun of wealthy westerners travelling to Africa for sex, with Adele and SNL castmember Kate McKinnon portraying women advertising 'holidays' in Africa.

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently released a report decrying the politicization of public higher education governance, entitled The New Order: How the Nation’s Partisan Divisions Consumed Public-College Boards and Warped Higher Education. The report says more about the tunnel vision that pervades the liberal media and academic establishment than it does about the real state of politics in academia. Politicization is indeed a major governance problem, as the report suggests. However, it is not, as the authors claim, a recent phenomenon resulting from Republican dominance in state politics, the Tea Party movement, and the surge in conservative populism. It...

Women could be sentenced to death for abortion if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed, according to one Vanity Fair writer. The Senate plans to vote to confirm Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court on October 26. In anticipation, Vanity Fair condemned President Trump’s nominee for seeing “a scenario in which abortion should be punishable by death.” In a recent piece riddled with errors, politics correspondent Bess Levin went so far as to argue that Barrett’s confirmation means that women will be “executed” for “choosing what to do with their own bodies.”“The defining feature of Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing was her...

By now, this whole matter could have been put to bed. If the feds want to speak with the whistleblower, why not Hunter himself? It's Habeas corpus time, people.

“Our loyalty is not just to Rome of 2020, but to Roma aeterna, the Rome of all time. Our love is not just for the Pontiff, but for the papacy as instituted by Jesus Christ in existence for two millennia, and no clever deviltry should make us think that one can be legitimately used against the other. Our loyalty is to the Church, which exists not just in space but in time—to Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.” It’s raining spiritually again. The Pope has scandalized faithful Catholics and delighted progressives of every stripe by expressing support...

Gospel rapper and billionaire fashion designer Kanye West highlighted the racial eugenicist ideology of Margaret Sanger, the founder of the organization that became abortion giant Planned Parenthood, in a recent interview with Joe Rogan. West, a presidential candidate, said, “Plan B and Planned Parenthood were planned by eugenicists that set out and said out loud, ‘I’m doing this to kill the black race and to create population control.'” The Grammy-winner contrasted deaths linked to COVID-19 by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) with what he said was an average of 1,000 unborn black children aborted every day. “Let me talk...

After his magnificent massive and successful campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire yesterday afternoon, the POTUS, Trump & the Trump campaign made a delightful side trip in to the great state of Maine to visit friends and hold a mini rally. It was most beautiful and patriotic!!! Of course, the failed, useless, "Chris Wallace" "Dark side" Fox News Channel (Fox & Friends) made no mention of this grand meeting whatsoever, this morning!!! Fox News Channel, Fox & Friends now joins the low life, "Fake News" Media cabal!! SAD!!!

The image of maskless Trump supporters standing behind the president at rallies has become an unfairly maligned symbol of an unfairly maligned segment of the U.S. population. So much so that the campaign has even made an effort to mask them up with Trump masks, only succeeding to a limited degree with those standing directly behind the president facing the cameras. “Trump supporters are COVIDidiots who are toying with death,” says the left as they toss about dismissive phrases like “science deniers” and “Darwin awards.” To them, those of us who eschew masks are backwoods rubes, if not would-be mass-murderers...

Samuel Paty wanted to teach his students a lesson about free speech. He ended up paying with his life. Paty, 47, a middle-school teacher in a Paris suburb, announced to his civics class in early October that he would show some of the caricatures of the prophet Muhammad that the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published in 2015 and that students were free to opt out of viewing the images. The teacher was immediately denounced on social media. In a viral video, the Muslim father of one of Paty’s students related a series of fabrications. He falsely claimed that his daughter...

WASHINGTON - Progressives are pushing hard to see Elizabeth Warren leading the Treasury Department in an opening salvo of a coming ideological struggle for control of key government posts if Joe Biden wins the presidency. Donors, activists and leaders on the left want Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, as treasury secretary, more than a half-dozen of them said. And people Warren has spoken to are under the impression that she wants the job if she is offered it. "There's a huge gap between Sen. Warren and any other likely candidate," said Larry Cohen, former president of the Communications Workers...

Joe Biden last night seemed to forget who the president was, noting that he was fighting against 'four more years of George.' Addressing supporters online, during a virtual concert to drum up enthusiasm, the 77-year-old sat next to his wife Jill. 'Four more years of George, er, George, er, he - we're going to find ourselves in a position where, if Trump gets elected, we're going to be in a different world,' said Biden. Jill appeared to remind him, under her breath: 'Trump,' as Biden faltered over such an elementary fact that it is the classic question asked of confused...

WASHINGTON - A deeply torn Senate is set to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, but Democratic leaders are asking Vice President Mike Pence to stay away from presiding over Monday’s session due to potential health risks after his aides tested positive for COVID-19. But Democrats said in a letter to Pence on it’s “not a risk worth taking,” according to copy obtained by The Associated Press. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and his leadership team wrote that not only would Pence’s presence violate Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, “it also be a violation of common...

Former Senate leader Harry Reid says if Democrats win the presidency and the Senate, Joe Biden should take “no more than three weeks” to test bipartisanship before ending the filibuster Reid says Biden should end Senate filibuster after 3 weeksBy LISA MASCAROAP Congressional CorrespondentThe Associated PressWASHINGTON WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Senate leader Harry Reid says if Democrats win the presidency and the Senate, Joe Biden should take “no more than three weeks” to test bipartisanship before ending the filibuster so Democrats can overcome what they call Republican obstruction and pass bills. The retired Nevada Democrat told The Associated Press in...

One of the many glories of Donald Trump is his remarkable ability to clarify the truths than have been hidden, or that weak and stupid people have just preferred not to see. Our garbage institutions are teetering, victims of age, technology, and the utter corruption and incompetence of our allegedly elite ruling caste, and for years the soft conservatives have refused to see what is right in front of their dumb, pasty faces. Thanks to Trump breaking them in mind, body, and spirit, there’s no denying it anymore. The Establishment is a boil that must be lanced. So many people...

Campaign contribution numbers provide some indications of where big tech money may be influencing Republicans on the Judiciary Committee. (LifeSiteNews) — The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Thursday to issue subpoenas to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey over allegations of censorship. The social media giant had engaged in the “suppression and/or censorship” of bombshell reports by the New York Post charging members of the Biden Family with significant financial corruption — allegations which could serve to hurt Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s presidential run. The vote comes following promises made on October 15th during the confirmation hearings for...

In 1968 Chief Justice Warren decided to retire. He preferred to be replaced by Lyndon Johnson rather than his political enemy Richard Nixon. The plan was that Johnson would elevate his crony Abe Fortas (who Johnson had put on the court by convincing Kennedy appointee Arthur Goldberg to be Ambassador to the UN) to Chief Justice. Well it was an election year, and Nixon campaigned that the next president should fill the vacancy (sound familiar?). Fortas was filibustered and Warren said he would serve until a successor was confirmed so Richard Nixon got to replace Earl Warren with Warren Burger....

The Democratic presidential candidate proposed a ‘bipartisan commission of scholars’ to provide ‘recommendations as to how to reform the court system because it’s getting out of whack.’ (LifeSiteNews) — Republicans and pro-life leaders have warned that Joe Biden’s proposed bipartisan commission to recommend reforms of the Supreme Court is an attempt to hide his intention of packing the court. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of pro-life association Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List, reminded pro-life voters of the dire consequences of a Democrat win on election day, November 3. “Make no mistake: Biden and Harris are running out the clock until Election Day,...

The New York Times on Oct. 24 published an article by tech columnist Kevin Roose about The Epoch Times. The article was published on the front page of the NY Times’ Sunday edition on Oct. 25. Roose worked on this article about The Epoch Times for at least eight months. The result, however, is disappointing. Instead of attempting to give a fair portrayal of The Epoch Times as an up-and-coming media outlet, Roose resorts to factual errors, innuendo, and misrepresentations in an attempt to smear a competing media outlet. Furthermore, previous social media comments made by Roose and NY Times...
