Washington -- According to the Washington Times -- also known as the Good Times -- last week, the Biden administration made plans "to offer grants for U.S. history classes that teach critical race theory and the '1619 Project,'" which is a confection of The New York Times. Both critical race theory and "The 1619 Project" are based on the fundamental insight that slavery is, according to the Washington Times, "the centerpiece of the American narrative." Now, there is not much a historian can say about people living in forced servitude for roughly 246 years beyond that it was one of...

The scientists found elevated levels of “cell drinking,” or macropinocytosis (green) in the stromal cells exposed to a low-nutrient environment (right), compared to normal nutrient levels that surround healthy tissue (left). Credit: Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute ===================================================================== Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute demonstrated for the first time that blocking “cell drinking,” or macropinocytosis, in the thick tissue surrounding a pancreatic tumor slowed tumor growth–providing more evidence that macropinocytosis is a driver of pancreatic cancer growth and is an important therapeutic target. The study was published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday bolstered the efforts of some long-term immigrants to avoid deportation in a ruling that faulted the federal government for improperly notifying a man who came to the United States illegally from Guatemala to appear for a removal hearing. The justices, in a 6-3 ruling that divided the court’s conservative bloc, overturned a lower court’s decision that had prevented Agusto Niz-Chavez from pursuing his request to cancel the attempted expulsion based on having lived in the United States for many years. Niz-Chavez lives in Michigan with his family after entering the United States illegally in...

Bruner, 67, of Albany, Minnesota.. was attempting to move the vehicle to straighten a trailer it was pulling when he fell out of the driver’s side door... “The driver landed in the path of the motor coach’s rear tires. The motor coach was still in drive and slowly moving forward.” The Clark County coroner’s office said Bruner died from head and neck trauma. His death is listed as an accident.

Of one the many taxes Biden plans to raise, in part to pay for a $2.3 trillion “American Jobs Plan” that would be tossed on top of eight or so trillion in extraordinary spending already planned, Biden assured us, “This will only affect three-tenths of 1% of all Americans.” That’s the oldest trick in the book in California: start with taxes supposedly limited to the top and then expand them to the middle class. If you don’t believe me, just ask the waves of “rich” middle-class Californians packing their belongings in U-Hauls and fleeing. “Let’s end our exhausting war over...

Corporations have taken advantage of Republicans for too long. I won’t take their PAC dollars anymore. [cut] For too long, woke CEOs have been fair-weather friends to the Republican Party: They like us until the left’s digital pitchforks come out. Then they run away. Or they mouth off on legislation they don’t understand—and hurt the reputations of patriotic leaders protecting our elections and expanding the right to vote. Enough is enough. Corporations that flagrantly misrepresent efforts to protect our elections need to be called out, singled out and cut off. In my nine years in the Senate, I’ve received $2.6...

President Joe Biden’s Justice Department would have reportedly arrested Derek Chauvin at the courthouse if the jury found him not guilty on all counts. Leading up to Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, Justice Department officials had spent months gathering evidence to indict the ex-Minneapolis police officer on federal police brutality charges, but they feared the publicity frenzy could disrupt the state’s case.

While the 2021 Arizona State Fair will be held at Wild Horse Pass, part of the Gila River Indian Community in the fall — a temporary move in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, officials said — the fairgrounds will host a carnival with some of the rides, games, and foods that fair-goers would typically see. On Monday, the Arizona State Fair announced the “Crazy Times Carnival,” a 10-day event that will be held nightly from 5 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. from April 29th to May 9th at the fairgrounds, near 19th Avenue and McDowell Road in Phoenix. Admission will...

John Lindsay, the clueless rich-boy-turned-mayor of this little burg in the crumbling late ’60s, famously, if unintentionally, coined the phrase “Fun City” back in the “Midnight Cowboy” era (1966-1973), over which he presided so oafishly, it’s as if Bill de Blasio took his sad mayoralty as a playbook. Now the era of fear, filth and fiscal fallacy is back, but Fun City is a tired nickname. The proper sobriquet for NYC is now Sin City. As in: the Seven Deadlies. De Blasio and Andrew Cuomo have decided to go along with every-born-in-the-’90s bolshie and forge a collection of policies out...

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod argued Wednesday on CNN that President Joe Biden didn’t offer a solution” to the immigration crisis during his address to a joint session of Congress. Anchor Anderson Cooper said, “President Biden didn’t talk about — and a number of Republicans and even Mark Kelly a Democrat has been criticizing him tonight, for not talking about the issue on the border and the crisis with so many people coming across the past few months.” Axelrod said, “This obviously has been the biggest problem that has cropped up in his first 100 days, that continues to be...

Just 3 short months ago, the GOP establishment wing in Washington D.C. and around the country were popping the champagne corks and clapping each other on the back. Sure, they’d just lost the White House and the Senate while the House narrowly remained under Democrat control, but on the bright side, DONALD J. TRUMP WAS GONE NOW. At LAST, the RINOs could begin their long-anticipated strategies for Life-After-Trump. AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN… snip But instead of really listening to what Trump said at CPAC, the GOP establishment types responded the same way CNN did: either by derisively mocking...

MSNBC host Joy Reid, in an apparent dig at Fox News host Tucker Carlson, bizarrely announced on her program Tuesday that she wears two masks while she is outside jogging. On Tuesday’s “The ReidOut,” Reid disclosed proudly that, despite the fact she has been fully vaccinated for the coronavirus, she follows recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and also her network’s own COVID fear-mongering to the letter — and then some. The CDC actually this week recommended no more outdoor masking for people who are vaccinated and in small groups. Still, in a conversation with NBC News...

Wednesday Evening Biden proved he is beholden to the Progressive wing of the party. His speech was a cornucopia of dead on arrival ideas...Massive OverreachPresident Biden wants people to believe he is a moderate.

Rep. Liz Cheney said in an interview with Punchbowl News Thursday that she will stand behind her vote to impeach former President Trump "every day of the week" as she faces multiple primary challengers in her 2022 reelection effort. Cheney, R-Wyo., is the chair of the House Republican conference and has taken heat from many on the right over her vocal condemnation of Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a mob of his followers. That has spurred Trump's wrath in multiple forums and triggered a handful of Republicans to announce primary challenges to her -- Trump...

Growing up in rural South Carolina on my family's farm, I developed a love, appreciation and, most importantly, a respect for firearms. To this day, I remain a collector of firearms and a supporter of the American right to keep and bear arms as enshrined in the Second Amendment. I was taught that safety is paramount to gun ownership, so I have always encouraged responsible gun ownership and use for all Americans. With that being said, I have noticed a disturbing trend in our country: an ever-increasing number of shootings and gun-related deaths. And while the quick response from some,...

Last Wednesday 20 French generals warned the Macron government of an impending “Civil War” due to leftist and islamist radicalization. 20 French generals, around a hundred senior officers and more than a thousand other soldiers signed an appeal for a return honor and duty within the political class. A copy of their letter was published by Valeurs. But rather than heeding their warning, President Macron announced the generals and soldiers will be punished. "Emmanuel Macron has threatened to punish generals who signed an open letter warning that the country is heading for ‘civil war’ because of radical Islam. "Twenty retired...

Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace said Wednesday night on his network’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s speech will be “popular” because after the coronavirus pandemic, people “now feel more trusting and more in need of government.” Wallace said, “I think this is going to be a popular speech with the American public. He offered a lot of stuff. Four trillion will buy a lot of stuff from millions of jobs to child care to community health centers, all kinds of stuff, community colleges. And the other thing that’s pretty popular is he said: You’re not going to have to pay...

A nurse who responded during America's 2020 fight against COVID-19, traveling from Florida to New York to help in one of the hospitals in that pandemic-struck city, reports the health care system was about as bad as the pandemic itself. "I recorded them murdering patients. I recorded just the complete and absolute disregard for human life," Erin Maria Olzewski said during an interview with LifeSiteNews. She previously has gotten attention for her reports of "fraud, negligence, and greed" in the system that "led to unnecessary deaths" during the nation's war against the virus that apparently was unleashed in China and...

The junior Senator from South Carolina delivered in a big way at last summer's Republican National Convention, and he did so again last night. President Biden's speech to a joint session of Congress -- the optics of which are being criticized by some medical experts for discouraging vaccination by downplaying the vaccines' outstanding efficacy -- was a partisan laundry list of breathtakingly enormous spending proposals. Between his "COVID relief" legislation, his "infrastructure" plan, and his family plan, Biden has called for $6 trillion in new federal spending within the first 100 days of his presidency. As a point of reference,...

The commonwealth of Virginia, which used to be reliably red and mostly conservative, is providing more evidence of an increasingly blue and liberal hue. Virginia is "considering" renovating its math courses. As the publication Virginia Mercury noted, "In webinars (Virginia Department of Education) officials have been upfront that the initiative is based on data, especially standardized test scores that show Black, Hispanic and low-income students have lower pass rates on state math assessments than White and Asian students. Those critical of the initiative have argued that Virginia is lowering its standards in favor of certain students instead of improving instruction...
