In June 2018, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., publicly exhorted her supporters to harass cabinet members of the Trump administration. At an outdoor rally in Los Angeles, Waters, with microphone in hand and amplifiers nearby, shouted: "Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." In response, President Donald Trump tweeted: "Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily...

A youth worker forced Year 11 male students at a co-ed public school to stand up in front of the class as she condemned them as historical 'oppressors' because they are white, male, and Christian. The female Kingston City Council worker gave a talk about privilege, pronouns, and intersectionality at Parkdale Secondary College in Mordialloc, Melbourne, last Wednesday. She then asked students who are white, male and Christian to stand up, The Herald Sun reported.

Whoa! Joe Biden thinks that that relatively mild, wholly unarmed breach of the Capitol was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War!” How historically ignorant are his speechwriters? Whoa! Joe Biden thinks that that relatively mild, wholly unarmed breach of the Capitol was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War!” How historically ignorant are his speechwriters? They seem to have forgotten about the assassination of Lincoln, WWI, Pearl Harbor and WWII, the Kennedy assassination, 9/11! Did they really think that line would resonate with anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge? While the entire...

It’s not a coincidence that the worst states for COVID are Democrat-run states. It’s also not news. The media could not care less that New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc., have been killing fields for elderly and vulnerable populations. Instead, we’ve been inundated with stories about how Texas and Florida WILL be deathtraps with no follow-ups about how they weren’t. Leftist establishment media is singularly focused on protecting their own at the expense of everything else, but Democrat heroes really have been awful throughout this whole thing, denying them the attention they so richly deserve.New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has ruled...

First lady Jill Biden introduced her 'virtual' guests for President Joe Biden's first Congressional address Wednesday afternoon, when past guests would have been heading to the White House for a reception. The five individuals included a Dreamer, the first transgender teen to testify before Congress, a BLM activist who advocates for gun control, a local educator and a tribal leader. The guests are usually there to prove a point in the president's speech - and they played a similar role this year, but presented Dr. Biden with remarks beforehand.

The campaign for sanity and fair representation of views of different sides in opinion and news continues against cancel culture in the U.S. and UK. The UK had been the setting for a number of recent cases where individual public figures, including the former Conservative Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, were forced to cancel appearances because their views clashed with some students. Ironically, Miss Rudd had intended to deliver a speech encouraging young women to get involved in politics. The campaigners might also be aware of activities by other cancel culture zealots. To characterize those activities as bizarre is to underrate...

My town’s not getting burned down because the rich coastal liberals with “Hate Has No Home Here” signs on their exquisitely landscaped front yards will never put up with that nonsense here in Shangri-Lib. In a very real way, the chaos that the liberals are creating by handcuffing other people’s cops – do you think my cops will ever get the order to stand down? – is not my problem. And, unless you are still living in some Democrat hellhole, it’s probably not your problem either. So, why again when some big blue city that hasn’t had a Republican mayor...

After a decade of marriage and three children, they look as happy as ever. To mark their tenth anniversary today, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released two stunning new portraits taken this week at Kensington Palace. Surprisingly, the couple – who tend to play it safe when it comes to official pictures – have turned to celebrity snapper Chris Floyd, best known for his Britpop portraits of the 1990s. His subjects have included Oasis, Supergrass and The Verve, as well as Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie and artist David Hockney.

"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows." ― George Orwell, 1984 Over the last five years, in the U.S. and across the West, free expression in cyberspace has come under unprecedented assault. Uniformity of thought (groupthink) is already prevalent in every other corporate-controlled U.S. medium — print, radio, television. The siege of U.S. cyberspace began in earnest in late 2016 with the defeat of Hillary Clinton at the hands of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election — perhaps the greatest electoral upset in American history. Every mainstream...

The Alameda Police Department in California has released body camera footage of the in-custody death of 26-year-old Oakland man Mario Gonzalez. ...The fifty-nine minute and eight-second recording released Tuesday contains multiple 911 calls and body camera videos from several officers....

A Miami Police officer has been relieved of duty while the department investigates his rough arrest of a homeless man who was suspected of stealing chicken at a Publix that was caught on camera, officials said Wednesday. The incident happened the evening of April 16 at the Publix at 1776 Biscayne Boulevard.

Here is a (mostly) satirical transmission from Biden-world, where we all now live. You didn't need to watch (p)Resident Biden's dim address to the diminished Congress marking his first hundred days in installation to know what would come dribbling out of his mouth. The party that has made a god of government has seized power, and the figurehead of that government knows he must dance to the Marxist-socialists' tune if he doesn't want to find himself 25th-Amendment-ed (or Jeffrey Epstein-ed!) in short order. So if you happened to miss Dementia-in-Chief's big speech, here's the official State narrative: there are all...

ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Farm chemical supplies are having difficulty sourcing typical herbicides as Stu reports in Thursday’s From the Farm. COVID-19 is being blamed for a shortfall of the popular herbicides “Roundup” and “Liberty.” “If we are seeing any tighter supplies on those two chemicals. There’s some tighter supplies on other stuff, but most of those, the Roundup and the Liberty are the biggest two, I would say tighter supplies, or short supplies in certain areas of the country right now,” said Kevin Johnson, Interim President of Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association. Johnson said ingredients for Roundup and Liberty are...

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - If you’ve tried to buy equipment for your yard or farm lately, you may have had your name added to a waiting list. Stores across the U.S. are seeing the effects of supply chain and shipping issues, and the Wausau area is no different. Grebe’s in Wausau says lawnmowers are a good example of a product experiencing supply chain issues that are leading to delays. Tim Grebe pointed out a row that is usually full of tractors. Right now, he’s only got one to sell. “We’ve been here for 75 years, and this is the first...

The Biden administration has signaled its intent to weaken or lift sanctions against Iran that it views as “inconsistent” with the failed 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal. Biden’s overhyped campaign rhetoric was critical of the previous administration’s decision to withdraw from the dangerously flawed JCPOA... Despite Congress being united on tough policy sanctions for decades, the Obama-Biden administration went around Congress to enter into the 2015 JCPOA. By doing so, the U.S. allowed new opportunities for Iran to fund terrorist militias in the region and beyond. And far worse, this deal allowed Iran to beat compliance efforts...

Rep. Liz Cheney scored a fist bump from President Joe Biden as he entered the House chamber for his first joint address to Congress. It's a move that will likely turn heads, especially among Republicans who might view the greeting as cozying up to a president they fault for muscling his agenda through Congress without bipartisan support. Cheney (R-Wyo.) has also found herself on shaky footing in recent days, as her relationship with House Minority Leader has grown increasingly frosty.

Summary In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Joe Biden got some facts wrong and stretched others, mainly repeated claims we’ve heard before: Biden said he inherited the “worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.” But when he took office, the economy had recovered some from its low point earlier in the pandemic. He repeated the debunked claim that he had “traveled over 17,000 miles” with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Biden referred to the American Jobs Plan creating “millions of jobs” and generating “trillions of dollars in economic growth.” The jobs estimate is accurate, but economic...

A CNN poll of viewers who watched President Joe Biden’s first joint address to Congress found that 51% of them had a “very positive” reaction — less than the 57% who had a “very positive” reaction to President Donald Trump’s speech in 2017. Moreover, Biden underperformed Trump even though the audience for Wednesday night’s speech skewed Democratic. CNN reported: The 51% who had a very positive reaction to Biden’s speech is a bit more muted than reaction to the first address from other recent presidents. Barack Obama had the strongest first outing of the last four presidents, with 68% saying...
