Lawrence Ferlinghetti, an acclaimed poet and longtime proprietor of City Lights, the San Francisco bookstore and avant-garde publishing house that catapulted the Beat Generation to fame and helped establish the city as a center of literary and cultural revolution, died Feb. 22 at his home in San Francisco. He was 101. The cause was interstitial lung disease, said his son, Lorenzo. Intensely private and fiercely political, Mr. Ferlinghetti became a household name in the 1950s when he stood trial on obscenity charges for publishing Allen Ginsberg’s hallucinatory anti-establishment manifesto “Howl.”

"These people came specifically with equipment. You’re bringing climbing gear to a demonstration, explosives, chemical spray – you’re coming prepared," Sund testified. "The fact that the group attacked our West Front 20 minutes before the event at the Ellipse ended – they were planning on our agency not being at full strength at that time." Contee also said rioters used "hand signals and radio communication," as well as a "coordinated use" of chemicals. "I certainly believe it was coordinated," Contee said, pointing to the "placement of pipe bombs in the area, all of those things, and plus, adding to what...

The Philippines will let thousands of its healthcare workers, mostly nurses, take up jobs in the United Kingdom and Germany if the two countries agree to donate COVID-19 vaccines, a senior official said on Tuesday (Feb 23). Britain's health ministry said it was not interested in such a deal, and its priority was to use shots domestically, but said it would share surplus vaccine internationally in the future. The Philippines, which has among Asia's highest numbers of coronavirus cases, has relaxed a ban on deploying its healthcare workers overseas, but still limits the number of medical professionals leaving the country...

There has never been any real question to anyone paying attention that the January 6 riot at the Capitol Building in Washington, DC had all the hallmarks of a false flag operation that had been planned and prepared well in advance. Indeed, over the 7 weeks that have passed since the riot took place, more and more proof of that reality has come to light despite the best efforts of the Democrats and their toadies in the news media to ignore it. At TheFederalist.com today, one eyewitness to the event, J. Michael Waller, a senior analyst for strategy at the...

If anyone thought the leftist media were done swooning over former President Barack Obama, Tuesday’s network morning show coverage made it clear journalists were still adoring fans eager for any new product being put out by the Democrat. The CBS, NBC, and ABC broadcasts happily hyped Obama teaming up with left-wing rocker Bruce Springsteen for a new podcast on “race, fatherhood, marriage, and the future of America.” On CBS This Morning, Democratic Party donor and Obama vacation pal Gayle King could not contain her excitement: “...two of the biggest names in politics and music just started a podcast on Spotify....

Social media can either make you or break you, and a pastor in Singapore is bearing the brunt of her remark on sexual temptation. On Monday (Feb 22), Christian youth-oriented website Thir.st came under fire for publishing an article by Pastor Joanne Chow where she appealed to young women to avoid dressing "in a revealing or provocative way" to help men "control [their] lustful thoughts". In her article, Chow, a pastor for youths at Pasir Panjang Hill Brethren Church, recounted her own difficulties dealing with sexual temptation when she was in a relationship with her then-boyfriend who is now her...

A 105-year-old New Jersey woman who survived both the 1918 flu pandemic and a bout with the coronavirus attributed her longevity to her daily ritual of eating nine raisins soaked in gin. “Fill a jar. Nine raisins a day after it sits for nine days,” Lucia DeClerck told The New York Times. Gin-soaked raisins are not among the recommended Centers for Disease Control and Prevention treatments for the virus. DeClerck, born in Hawaii to Guatemalan and Spanish parents, eventually retired to a Manahawkin retirement community at 90. She learned she had tested positive for the virus on Jan. 25, her...

Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker signed the Pretrial Fairness Act (HB3653) on Monday making the Land of Lincoln the first state to eliminate cash bail despite unified opposition by the state’s police community and all but two of the 102 county state’s attorneys. Ahead of the governor’s signature, the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus sponsored the bill which aims to eliminate any bail requirements for those charged with felonies if they have been deemed to be no threat to the community, MSN News reported. The bill will take effect in January of 2023.

Not even two months into their reign as the majority party that controls the White House and both houses of Congress, key Democrats have made clear that one of their top priorities is censorship of divergent voices. On Saturday, I detailed how their escalating official campaign to coerce and threaten social media companies into more aggressively censoring views that they dislike — including by summoning social media CEOs to appear before them for the third time in less than five months — is implicating, if not already violating, core First Amendment rights of free speech. Now they are going further...

John Quincy Adams died on February 23, 1848. He believed that “…... who we are is who we were.” This gives me hope that it is not impossible to return from modern madness to a culture based on faith in God. Fairness. Rationality. Freedom Of Speech. The Word. According to John Keats, "“Intelligences ..... are God.”

Laws of supply and demand? Meh! The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has calculated that Biden's $15/hr. minimum wage could kill as many as 3.7 million jobs.

Sen. Lindsey Graham visited former President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort over the weekend in what he described as an effort to mend a fractured Republican Party. Asked Monday evening by The Hill about his visit to the former commander-in-chief’s Palm Beach estate, Graham (R-South Carolina) said the two spent a great deal of time reaching out to candidates on the ballot in 2022. The two “just talked about the 2022 cycle,” Graham explained, adding that, “He’s very involved in helping the team win.” Trump “made a bunch of phone calls,” specifically with GOP senators, and is “trying to get...
