Rebeccah Kellman says shortly after she moved to Canmore, she remembers going on a hike to Grassi Lakes, which overlooks the Alberta mountain town. Kellman said another group of hikers was staring at her and whispering, before one woman approached her, put her arm up against hers, and said "Hey, I usually don't see people darker than me climbing out here." "I was about 21 at the time, and I didn't know what to make of it. I was like OK, clearly I am in a very white-dominated space," Kellman said. That experience, and others, prompted Kellman to found Darken...

A source within the Biden State Department wishing to remain anonymous has shared with Human Events News a document that indicates that all U.S. “Diplomatic and Consular posts” are being encouraged to display shows of support for Black Lives Matter on Tuesday, May 25, the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The memo reads in part, “The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25 and beyond (italics added) We encourage posts to focus on the...

Yesterday afternoon, the phrase #FireMeghanMcCain was trending on Twitter. What terrible, awful thing had she said to warrant trending on Twitter? The co-host of the View had done something few others have: decried an alarming spike in anti-Semitism. It’s not surprising, if you’re familiar with Twitter, to see how an outspoken defender of the Jewish people may find herself in its crosshairs. This is a place where variations of the phrase “Hitler was right” were posted more than 17,000 times (according to the Anti-Defamation League) in just a one-week span in May. As in-person violence against Jews has spiked, so...

BBC digital reporter Tala Halawa's 2014 antisemitic tweets were unearthed recently.

Last week a member of the Oath Keepers called The Gateway Pundit to tell us his story of the January 6th protests and riot. He is living in fear since the Jan. 6 protests at the US Capitol and wanted to get his story out. The Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” What he told us is truly shocking and has not been reported by the mainstream fake-news media....

At a May 17 meeting of CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, there were "several presentations" about myocarditis following RNA vaccines. Myocarditis can weaken the heart and cause formation of deadly blood clots. The report on CDC's website doesn't say how many cases have been reported, and characterized them as "mild" and "relatively few." But concern was apparently expressed at the meeting by representatives from the Department of Defense, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, Vaccine Safety Datalink, the Veteran’s Administration, and the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment; all off whom gave presentations or updates at the meeting. According to CDC,...

Sen. Anthony Bouchard, R-Cheyenne, fired back at one of his colleagues who publicly criticized him for his announcement last week that as an 18-year-old in the 1980s, he impregnated and then married a 14-year-old girl. In his latest Facebook video, Bouchard attacked Major Floor Leader Sen. Ogden Driskill, R-Devils Tower, for his comments to the London Daily Mail newspaper. “[Ogden Driskill] is the same guy that attacked me during my re-election, the same guy who jumped in with a whole host of people endorsing my opponent,” Bouchard said. “He should be looking at all the stuff he’s done to line...

More than 500 Democratic party staffers and alumni ofJoe Biden’s 2020 campaign have signed an open letter calling for the US president to do more to protect Palestinians and hold Israel accountable for its actions in and over Gaza, where a ceasefire currently holds. The move comes amid a deepening split in Democratic ranks, between some vocal members of its progressive wing – such as Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez – and more centrist figures including Biden who have taken a consistently pro-Israel stance. Biden has come under increasing pressure to take a firmer stance against Israel after the recent conflict in which...

Our most important and cherished institutions—the military, science, and the law—are losing the trust of Middle America. Americans mostly have given up on familiar institutions for entertainment, guidance, or reassurance. What now do Hollywood, network news, the media in general, Silicon Valley, the NBA, NFL, MLB, or higher education all have in common? A propensity to lecture Americans on their moral inferiorities, a general ethical decline in their own disciplines, and a strange obsession to acquire great wealth while living in contrast to what they advocate for others. Add also incompetence. Movies are mostly bad now. The network news is...

(CNN) — Curtis Fuller wasn’t having the greatest luck before he won a $1 million prize in the Florida Lottery. “My wife’s car broke down a few days ago and two days after that my truck broke down,” said the Jacksonville man in a news release from the Florida Lottery. Fuller, 38, bought the 50X THE CASH ticket — a $5 scratch-off game — at a convenience store in Jacksonville. He claimed the prize on Monday at lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, according to the release. Fuller decided to get his winnings as a one-time, lump sum payment of $890,000, the...

Turn on CNN or open the New York Times, and you may encounter someone explaining how exhausting it is to be a black person. The idea that systemic racism is leaving blacks scarred and spent has been embraced across mainstream America, articulated by corporate CEOs and university presidents. The latest performative assertion of black oppression is playing out at the Juilliard School in New York City. The controversy has significance beyond the school. In September 2020, the Juilliard School’s Drama Division announced a series of “community meetings” to address “Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) issues.” The school’s growing cadre...

I have been attending the Windham NH 2020 Election "Audit" in person, attending just about every day for several hours. It has been going on for 2 weeks and will end this Thursday. The November election in Windham found that the machines that count the paper ballots shorted 4 GOP State Rep candidates 300 votes each approximately - and gave 1 Dem State Rep candidate about 100 votes too many. A hand count for the State Rep race candidates was done, ballot by ballot, and that is how these discrepancies were discovered. The total number of ballots cast was 10,006...

Biden is at it again with his “illegal voters first” agenda. In a move labeled as “humanitarian protection,” Biden just granted temporary amnesty for 100,000 Haitians. While there are around 10 million Americans who are unemployed. According to Biden and the Department of Homeland Security, Haitians can now apply for temporary protected status. Is this a true extended arm of help? Or another tactic for the Democrats to secure more votes? President Biden @POTUS United States government official Today my Administration announced a new 18 month designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas @SecMayorkas Today, in...

COVID vaccines, the common good, and moral liceity: A response to Professor de Mattei — Part IIII would respectfully suggest that Roberto de Mattei ponder his own heavy moral responsibility for the division his booklet has helped to provoke among the Catholic faithful, particularly given its peremptory and haughty tone toward Catholics who want nothing to do with abortion and thus nothing to do with abortion-derived vaccines, a conviction he rather arrantly dismisses as 'sentimentalism.'Christ the Redeemer statue with "vaccine saves" message May 24, 2021 (Catholic Family News) – As the first two articles in this series have shown, Prof....

From an email: Two Facebook Insiders have come forward to Project Veritas with leaked internal documents, showing the Big Tech giant’s plan to police “Vaccine Hesitancy” (VH) through surreptitious “comment demotion.” The company has set up a tier system to rank comments on various scales, based on how much the statement questions or cautions against the COVID-19 vaccination. Facebook admits they are willing to censor comments EVEN IF THEY ARE TRUE. Here are some of the highlights from today’s release: Comments that include “shocking stories” describing “potentially or actually true events, or facts that can raise safety concerns” -- are...

DeSantis said the bill, signed at Florida International University in Miami by the Republican governor, cracks down on what he called social media “censorship” while safeguarding Floridians’ ability to access social media platforms. “One of their major missions seems to be suppressing ideas that are either inconvenient to the narrative or which they personally disagree with,” DeSantis said. The bill also imposes hefty financial penalties against social media platforms that suspend the accounts of political candidates. The bill would fine companies $250,000 a day for doing so. DeSantis launched his offensive against social media companies in February when he accused...

BREAKING: Fr. Altman’s bishop has asked him to resign'What really is at play here, dear family, is that other shepherds are offended because I simply state the fact that they abandoned their sheep in a time of need. If this alleged virus was allegedly a fraction as dangerous as they said it was, it was all the more reason to keep our churches open and get you the sacraments so that you stayed in a state of grace. They put your eternal souls at risk!'Father James Altman, the Wisconsin priest whose video message last fall "You can’t be a Catholic...
