Bizarre news out of Lexington, Virginia; Washington and Lee University may finally change its name. Actually, the goofballs sitting on the school’s board of trustees may eradicate both of those hallowed names and substitute something more woke. I have a few suggestions. How about “AOC University?” (Bartending for idiots could be an AP course) “Donna Brazile University?” (where you get all the answers to the tests ahead of time) “Clinton & Clinton University?” The Latin inscription on the seal would read Quid enim interest in hac parte, ut non ea (What difference at this point does it make?) At half-time...

Denver School Board director-at-large Tay Anderson, a fervent Black Lives Matter activist, is accused of molesting over 60 undocumented students, using the residency status of the children to target kids as young as 14-years-old. A parent delivered legislative testimony last Tuesday, claiming there is an unidentified sexual predator within the school system who has targeted students. Brooks Fleming told the committee that 62 individuals had sought help handling the unnamed perpetrator. The abusive experiences ranged from unwanted touching to “violent acts of rape,” the woman said. 61 of the victims lacked documentation or were recipients of the Deferred Action for...

Despite what they say, Democrats know they are on thin ice. Many Americans don’t think Joe Biden belongs in the White House. On top of that, D.C. Democrats continue to fail to help the economy or put Americans first. The 2022 midterm elections can easily put Republicans in charge of both the House and Senate. But, wait! There’s more. Even leftist network CNN admits that Democrats’ epic failure on this major issue will help Republicans win big time. From the Daily Wire: “Republicans can turn rising crime into a culture war wedge issue,” said John Avlon Thursday on “New Day,”...

UFC fighter Colby Covington, who has been one of the few public figures to be open about his support of former President Donald Trump, spoke out on Tuesday to blast NBA star LeBron James for his hypocrisy with his “woke” liberal views. While appearing on a podcast, Colby Covington called out LeBron James for being a hypocrite since the basketball player claims to be an advocate for “woke” human rights yet continues to do business in China.

Hollywood went all in for Joe Biden during the presidential election and now the entertainment industry is reaping the rewards in the form of runaway inflation that has caused the price of making movies and TV shows to skyrocket. Production executives said key supplies are about 10 percent higher compared to just a few months ago, according to a recent report in The Hollywood Reporter. That includes plywood, which now costs three times as much as it used to, as well as items including steel, glass, and paint.

I've been reading FauxChi's emails. It seems just as one of them is getting interesting, the email is redacted. This allows Congress and government investigators to keep crimes secret from the public, or to affect mistrust in government.As taxpayers, we paid FauxChi's salary. We paid for the technology (servers and devices) for FauxChi to send and receive those emails. The emails are public property. You and I own them. We should be able to see them in full. Personally, I do not trust a single Republican in Congress to do the right thing if and when they view the complete...

The Russian military is more technologically advanced than the U.S. realized and is quickly developing artificial intelligence capabilities to gain battlefield information advantage, an expansive new report commissioned by the Pentagon warned. The federally funded Center for Naval Analyses examined the Kremlin’s whole-of-government approach for artificial intelligence development and found it is largely driven by the perceived threat from the United States, combined with lessons learned from its continuing conflicts in Syria and Ukraine about what the future battlefield will look like, the report released Monday said. However, the Russian government faces limitations because its AI efforts are primarily government...

White House now working on an exit strategy for Dr. Fauci. His exposed emails now show he covered up from the beginning that the virus was man made in labs he helped fund. His book deal is ugly, Cuomo-ish, pandemic profiteering. Even liberal media burying his emails. — MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) June 2, 2021

A federal judge tossed charges against a New York man accused in the Capitol riot — the first out of hundreds of cases to fall apart due to lack of evidence.Prosecutors wrote to the Washington, DC, judge on Tuesday asking to drop charges against Christopher Kelly, a New York City resident who was captured in a viral photo near the US Capitol, shirtless and holding an American flag, according to court documents.Kelly was busted in January after the FBI said it obtained information from a paid informant that showed he had taken a photo from inside the Capitol building during...

A mum ‘howled with laughter’ after her elderly parents asked her to buy them more ‘gorgeous pâté’ – only to discover they had eaten a tin of cat food. Angela Holloway has been shopping for her mum Margaret Lincoln and step-dad Donald Lincoln throughout the coronavirus crisis, but usually separates the pet food from the rest of the shopping. That meant the 59-year-old was confused last week when her mum told her they had eaten ‘a really lovely dinner of absolutely gorgeous pâtéand baked bread’. The Sheffield couple, who now live in France, were eating with Angela’s sister Beverly Weston...

or most of last year, the idea that the coronavirus pandemic could have been triggered by a laboratory accident in Wuhan, China, was largely dismissed as a racist conspiracy theory of the alt-right. The Washington Post in early 2020 accused Senator Tom Cotton of "fanning the embers of a conspiracy theory that has been repeatedly debunked by experts." CNN jumped in with "How to debunk coronavirus conspiracy theories and misinformation from friends and family." Most other mainstream outlets, from The New York Times ("fringe theory") to NPR ("Scientists debunk lab accident theory"), were equally dismissive. (Newsweek was an exception, reporting...

Lots of people hate Alex Jones. Granted, he loses his mind live on air often... His style is abrasive and, at times, psychotic. So what? He’s also been right about a lot – often decades before other media figures. For it, he has spent his entire career on the fringes of the fringe “far-right” in the political wilderness Limp, finger-in-the-wind politicians and well-heeled corporate-funded “journalists” could learn something about passion and conviction.... Ill-tempered gadfly; decorum-free monkey wrench; digital pirate ship; choose your metaphor.... Back in the 90s and aughts — when he was just a local nuisance to the Texas...

Google’s head of diversity strategy said in a 2007 blog post that Jews have an "insatiable appetite for war" and an "insensitivity to the suffering [of] others." The comments were part of a longer meditation from Kamau Bobb, now head of diversity strategy at Google, that also slammed Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon that same year. Bobb was at the time a research associate in technology at Georgia Tech, according to his LinkedIn. The post, titled "If I Were A Jew," described how he believed Jewish people should view the Middle East conflict. "If I were a Jew...

These people are stone-cold Marxists intent on destroying this country. The Marxist BLM leader Bree Newsome wants to eliminate police in the US. A significant number of crazy Democrats want this too. Bree Newsome also wants reparations and land reapportionment from wealthy white people.

John Hinckley Jr., the gunman who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in a bid to win actress Jodie Foster’s heart, has traded his six-shooter for a six-string — racking up thousands of views on YouTube with his guitar renditions of sentimental love songs. Hinckley, now 66, won a lengthy court battle last year, freeing him to publicly display his music, writings and other art, and potentially make a living in the recording industry. Since then, Hinckley has published a half-dozen videos to a YouTube channel bearing his real name, starting with a performance of an original composition titled “Majesty...
