How to explain Joe Biden's ideological transformation over the years? Perhaps it's the same as the explanation of why the chameleon's complexion changes when he moves from desert to forest: adaptation to local terrain. About the Biden transformation there can be no question. The senator who opposed government financing of abortions for 30-some years now supports it -- and up through the ninth month of pregnancy. The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman who sponsored and bragged about the tough provisions of the 1994 crime bill now decries systemic racism and echoes almost the entire Black Lives Matter mantra. The politician who...

Private Schools Have Become Truly Obscene Elite schools breed entitlement, entrench inequality—and then pretend to be engines of social change. Dalton is one of the most selective private schools in Manhattan, in part because it knows the answer to an important question: What do hedge-funders want?They want what no one else has. At Dalton, that means an “archaeologist in residence,” a teaching kitchen, a rooftop greenhouse, and a theater proscenium lovingly restored after it was “destroyed by a previous renovation.” So it was a misstep when Jim Best, the head of school—relatively new, and with a salary of $700,000—said that...

A wax museum in downtown San Antonio, Texas, removed its wax statue of former President Trump after it was repeatedly vandalized, the San Antonio Express-News reports. Louis Tussaud's Waxworks pulled the figure from public view after it sustained multiple beatings, and transferred it into storage. The scratches on the Trump figure's face were especially damaging, said Clay Stewart, the regional manager of parent company Ripley's Entertainment.

The Root is obviously a hyperbolically racial magazine, since its slogan is "The Blacker the Content the Sweeter the Truth." It's not surprising that it frequently publishes writer Damon Young, author of the memoir "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker." We're told he asked important and dramatic questions like "Will this white person's potato salad kill me?" Young's memoir was honored as "required reading" by NPR and celebrated by Entertainment Weekly and The Washington Post, among others. He became a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times. The paranoia overflowed from this self-described "professional Black person" on St....

Mayor de Blasio on Thursday said cops should “confront” people accused of “hurtful” behavior — even if the behavior doesn’t rise to the level of a crime. Asked if the NYPD and city could be doing more to thwart the troubling surge in hate crimes against Asians, Hizzoner suggested the warnings could be a last resort. “Even if something is not a criminal case, a perpetrator being confronted by the city, whether it’s NYPD or another agency, and being told that what they’ve done was very hurtful to another person — and could, if ever repeated, lead to criminal charges...

Video clips of disturbing attacks on the street. Insults hurled by politicians. Derogatory graffiti scrawled on businesses. For most of the last year, Asian-Americans have sounded the alarm over the rising discrimination they have experienced and witnessed, fueled in part by racist language and false claims about the coronavirus by former President Donald J. Trump and other public officials. Celebrities, activists and influencers on social media have implored people to stop the hate against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders.

A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has accused him of sexual harassment, recalled seeing a dartboard bearing Mayor de Blasio’s face at the Executive Mansion in an interview published Thursday.

Last night, CNN's Brian Stelter contacted us about "Newsmax's ratings declines for my CNN newsletter." Stelter contacted Newsmax at 9 p.m. on Wednesday night and said he would give us just one hour to respond, meaning a 10 p.m. deadline. Without Newsmax's response, CNN's Stelter email newsletter, headlined "Newsmax's rise and fall," noted that "Newsmax TV gained a lot of attention last fall when disaffected Fox News fans flocked to the channel en masse. ... Newsmax's Nielsen ratings are way off the post-election highs that I wrote about three and four months ago."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - An Arkansas gun rights activist who ran unsuccessfully for governor three years ago said Wednesday that she's challenging Sen. John Boozman in the state's Republican primary in 2022. Jan Morgan said she will run against Boozman, who is seeking his third term next year. Former President Donald Trump last week endorsed Boozman's reelection bid. But Morgan accused Boozman of not being conservative enough and criticized his votes certifying President Joe Biden's victory over Trump in the November election. The House and Senate in January overwhelmingly rejected objections to the results in two states. "When the...

SEVERAL ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS HAVE RESPONDED TO THE NEWS THAT JAN MORGAN, A VETERAN REPORTER TURNED FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR, IS RUNNING AGAINST “ESTABLISHMENT SHILL” SEN. JOHN BOOZMAN IN A PUBLIC COMMENTS SECTION OF THE ARKANSAS TIMES, A LEADING ONLINE AND PRINT OPINION PUBLICATION IN THE STATE.

Will we the people pick...

This bill could be the key to securing the southern border.Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton filed a bill in the Texas House of Representatives on March 4 aimed at creating a fund to pay for “border security enhancement projects.” As an Op-Ed from The Blaze’s Daniel Horowitz explained, it could even lead to the construction of the border wall in certain states.Slaton’s bill would use state funds to complete the border wall in Texas and would require the governor to seek reimbursement from the federal government. In short, if the bill passes in the Texas legislature, the state would be...

The illegal migrants brought to the United States by their illegal migrant parents “are true and legitimate heirs … of our founders,” House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in a Thursday speech on the House floor. Pelosi made her claims as Democrats prepared to vote through an amnesty for at least three million migrants who are now labeled under several categories. They include the many illegals who were brought to the United States as children by their parents. Democrats refer to the child-arrivals as “dreamers,” even though Americans are also dreamers.

Proving that even a broken clock is right twice a day, it turns out the establishment media was right about that whole interference in our elections thing. There is indeed a lot of it, but not necessarily from where the media told us. Not only does it threaten the integrity of our elections, but it is likely to get innocent people killed. This particular election interference comes not from the Kremlin, but from the ample bank account of billionaire investor George Soros. Like a Bond villain stroking a white cat, Soros has big plans for America and the world. He...

The House voted 247-174 on Thursday to pass a bipartisan bill that would allow an estimated 1 million undocumented farmworkers and their children to gain legal status through continued employment. Why it matters: Farmworkers and crop hands were designated essential workers during the pandemic. The bill would allow them to apply for legal status after working in agriculture for at least 180 days over two years. Nine representatives did not vote on the bill. The big picture: The Farm Workforce Modernization Act is part of Democrats' first push this year to overhaul the country's immigration laws. Lawmakers are also considering...

BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts Bail Fund has paid $100,000 to free a woman who is facing criminal charges for allegedly dumping her newborn baby in a trash can in Boston last month. A woman walking down Dorchester Avenue on the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 26, found the baby crying in a trash can outside Pat’s Pizza. The baby, who was said to be covered in blood, was taken to a nearby hospital. The infant has since recovered. Marie Merisier, the baby’s 33-year-old mother, was found at a home in Milton a short time later, according to Suffolk District Attorney...
