Former first lady Michelle Obama said Monday on NBC’s “The Kelly Clarkson Show” joked that she was “tired” of her husband, former President Barack Obama, during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. Clarkson said, “When I went to the White House, I asked Dr. Biden what is the first thing she would do post-pandemic. So we know you are knitting now. She said, ‘get a martini and fries.’ So what are you going to do after knitting?”

When rioters topple statues of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Christopher Columbus, they are saying as much about the present as they are about the past. We are in the midst of a violent struggle over what story we will tell about our origins, which will determine what view we take of ourselves. A national identity crisis of this kind can only be remedied—or exacerbated—by a national reckoning about our founding. Who were our forebears, and who are we? Though perennial, these questions become particularly pressing in moments of civic uncertainty. In antiquity, one such moment—an important one for us...

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) released several photos from an overflow tent facility in Donna, Texas, showing extremely crowded conditions as hundreds of illegal immigrants and minors pour across the border. The photos show children sleeping on the floors along with makeshift beds.

"What was your woke breaking point?" is the question from this woman, who, by the way, defines herself as a liberal in her Twitter bio: As of now there are about 2,000 replies and quote-tweets. Here are 55 of the best, most interesting, and most insane replies (I took the liberty of using screenshots instead of embedding them so this page wouldn't take 7 years to load)

Two questions I get asked a lot: how do lefties turn out so many people yet still efficiently corral and move them through an urban area? and what is the interplay between the black bloc factions and the regular protest? To answer this properly I’m going to share some links to better illuminate for you the degree of organization and planning it takes to successfully pull off a mass disruption, as well as illustrate the mutually-reinforcing, coordinated roles played by regular protesters and a black bloc. Then we’re going to break down the July 17 2020 Grant Park incident in...

Three people in Hawaii who were fully vaccinated have tested positive for COVID-19 — but health officials are still urging everyone to get jabbed. The individuals became infected after receiving both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, news station KITV reported.

Former Georgia State Representative and lifelong Democrat who made national headlines last year when he had declared his support for President Donald Trump’s re-election, announced on Twitter Monday that he is “looking closely at Georgia’s race for Governor” to oust Governor Brian Kemp. “I’m looking closely at Georgia’s race for Governor. If it weren’t for Brian Kemp, Donald Trump would still be President of these United States. We need courageous conservatives leading our state, not those afraid to stand up to the Radical Left,” Mr. Jones, the founder of Waking Up America expressed.. Most recently, Vernon Jones hinted at the...

Trump had a new doctrine: it was America's responsibility to make the world safe for Americans living in America. Biden is already dragging America back to the Wilson Doctrine, which has seen American blood and gold spilled across the world for over a century. Unfortunately, Biden also seems to be guided by the Obama variation on the Wilson Doctrine, which is that any overseas wars in which America becomes involved should never benefit Americans. Where does Edith Wilson fit into all this? In October 1919, Wilson had a serious stroke that left him partially paralyzed and bedridden. Had there been...

A reporter on Monday grilled White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki about the Biden Amin’s treatment of illegal aliens vs. its treatment of National Guard troops. One day after Biden’s inauguration, 5,000 soldiers were moved to a cold parking garage in the dead of winter. There was one power outlet and one bathroom for 5,000 soldiers. After Biden used the soldiers for protection, they were tossed into a cold parking garage near the Capitol building. More than a dozen Michigan National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. had been sickened, with some hospitalized, after being served raw, undercooked meat and...

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Facebook that requested the court intervene in a $15 billion class-action lawsuit alleging the firm illegally tracked the online activities of its users when they are not on the platform, thereby violating the federal Wiretap Act law. “Facebook’s user profiles would allegedly reveal an individual’s likes, dislikes, interests, and habits over a significant amount of time, without affording users a meaningful opportunity to control or prevent the unauthorized exploration of their private lives,” the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a ruling (pdf) last year, saying that Facebook users...

I have obtained a copy of all the materials regarding the sudden new threat of “Extremism” used for training in the United States military. Throughout the services, service members have been shocked at the Biden blitz to root out ideas and people who stand in the way of the administration’s transformative agenda. One individual in the training told me, “The military is one of the last institutions left that hasn’t been radicalized by the progressives. That’s why it is being targeted now.” All personnel are being subjected to a PowerPoint presentation packed with progressive ideology and misstatements of the Constitution....

ERUSALEM, March 22 (Reuters) - Israel and New Zealand have given interim approval for the sale of biotech firm SaNOtize Research and Development's Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS) which could help prevent transmission of the COVID-19 virus, the company said on Monday. Manufacturing of NONS, under the brand name Enovid, has begun in Israel with SaNOtize's partner Nextar Chempharma Solutions Ltd and it is expected to be on sale there this summer. In New Zealand, SaNOtize has registered its nasal spray with the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority, which permits the company to distribute and sell NONS...

The phrase “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” is a loaded one; it does not signify noncontroversial principles, as might be assumed, but instead describes a radical political agenda. Throughout academia, programs and standards based on DEI are proliferating at a rapid pace; this is, in effect, a surreptitious political takeover of the Ivory Tower by academia’s most radical and unhinged elements that has dire repercussions for our society. New directives mandate that, to be hired or promoted, faculty must adhere to—or at least meekly submit to—the tenets of this agenda. Faculty must conceal any reservations they have about the DEI philosophy...

Democrat momentum to abolish the Senate filibuster, which requires 60 votes to end debate and move to a final vote for most items, has picked up in recent months, with proponents charging the increasingly gridlocked Senate will be largely useless unless reforms occur...Trump said Democrats would be free to pursue any radical policy they desire if the filibuster falls. "They’re going to attack the Second Amendment, violently, which I’ve told everybody," He said. "They’re going to attack the Supreme Court.

The website UMC.org is the main portal of practically all United Methodist Churches today. This week they decided to promote disturbing and hateful propaganda against Trump supporters. The promoted content is just grotesque! Under the section “Dismantling Racism” you see this…

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Monday suggested that the state should consider slowing down the Big Apple’s reopening, placing him once again at odds with embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). Earlier this March, Cuomo issued a directive allowing for New York City indoor dining capacity to be expanded to 50 percent. On Monday, the city’s gym classes were allowed to reopen at a 33 percent capacity.

A long white shawl on her head, Rani Khan gives daily Koran lessons at Pakistan’s first transgender-only madrasa, or Islamic religious school, which she set up herself using her life savings. The madrasa is an important milestone for the LGBTQ community in the overwhelmingly fundamental Muslim country, where transgender people face ostracism, even though there is no official restriction on them attending religious schools or praying at mosques. “Most families do not accept transgender people. They throw them out of their homes. Transgender people turn to wrongdoing,” Khan, 34, said, as other transgender people, their heads similarly covered, swayed back...

A woman who took out a loan trying to save her small business during the pandemic now says that loan could cause her to shut down. The owner just found out she owes thousands more dollars than she expected. CBS 2’s Tara Molina is Working for Chicago, helping people navigate these challenging times. She reports that owner says she just can’t afford to pay it all back. She’s on the hook for $36,000 today. Money she says she doesn’t have, and can’t be forgiven, all because of what she calls bad communication with the bank she turned to for help....
