Well, it is happening again. My grandfather told me about it. My father told me about it. Every other Jew who came over from Europe told me about it. Even the New York Times told me about it. You got it, anti-Semitism and the persecution of Jews. When I was a young man sometime in the early part of last century, whenever I looked into the NY Times classified section for a job that I really needed, the jobs available would say “White Christian only”.The NY Times wasn’t always as woke as it is now. I’m not even as...

The New York Times published The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones that says the Revolutionary War was fought to preserve slavery. Slavery made the U.S. wealthy. The US original sin was racism. Our culture is built on racism and is an unchangeable part of our society. The 1619 Project is based on CRT, cultural Marxist critical race theory -- only white racism matters and it is systemic in the U.S. It maintains that all blacks are victims (still slaves) and all white people are privileged oppressors (still masters). So there must be monetary and socialized atonement. This theory denigrates the...

If it just saves one life! Lockdown to continue in UK despite plummeting deaths & hospitalizations? Oh but if it just saves one life! What are you even saving at this point? Self-isolation, loneliness, atomization, an anaemic, vacuous existence. That’s not life!

In May, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem became the first candidate nationwide to promise to combat action civics and the un-American ideology of critical race theory by signing the 1776 Pledge to Save Our Schools, a pledge drafted by a new patriotic education nonprofit. “Teaching our children & grandchildren to hate their own country & pitting them against one another on the basis of race or sex is shameful & must be stopped. I’m proud to be the 1st candidate in America to sign ‘The 1776 Pledge to Save Our Schools,’” Noem wrote on Twitter. Noem’s embrace of the...

Stop AAPI Hate, a California-based coalition, has recorded nearly 7,000 hate incidents involving Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders nationwide since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s become a key source of information for the media and for advocates looking to stop the surge of racist attacks.

A decade ago, Vice President Biden paid a visit to Jerusalem. Like any trip by an emissary of the Obama administration, it wasn’t a goodwill tour, but a combination of a provocation and a shakedown. While Biden was in Israel, two construction projects received partial approval in a multi-stage process from the City of Jerusalem. Biden responded by staying up in his hotel room and refusing to come down for an hour. When he did come...

Establishment loathe to relinquish power. A Norwegian public health professional received a massive official backlash after he suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic was “nearly over” judging by the country’s plummeting case numbers. Norwegian Institute of Public Health chief physician Preben Aavistland tweeted a graph showing rapidly declining hospital admissions along with the words, “Well, there goes the pandemic.” Aavistland then made the fatal error of being upbeat about the end of the pandemic when speaking to a newspaper, saying things “are going very well” and that Norway is “in the final sprint” against the pandemic. “Here in Norway, the pandemic...

When it comes to terrorism, if an individual criticizes groups that support or are linked to terror, he/she will be labeled by those groups an “Islamophobe.” While the term is loosely defined as someone hateful of Muslims, more often than not it is used as a malicious way to silence critics. Today, however, it seems that, even if you are critical of the terrorist groups themselves, you will be branded with “Islamophobia.” That is what Florida State Representative Randy Fine has discovered, as he is being attacked by Islamist groups for the language he has used, in response to recent...

Sen. Joe Manchin’s defiant statement that he will not vote for a sweeping election reform bill nor vote to get rid of the filibuster has progressive groups and some Democratic lawmakers wondering when Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will get tough with the West Virginia Democrat. Manchin is a member of Schumer’s leadership team and Schumer has several points of leverage, including the power to replace him as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. But Schumer doesn’t have a reputation for getting tough with colleagues. Instead, he keeps them close and hardly ever criticizes Democratic senators...

Shi Zhengli, the Director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, lists six-figure grants from Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on her resume. Also known as the “bat woman” for her work on SARS-like coronaviruses, Shi Zhengli was recently referenced by Senator Rand Paul while pressing Dr. Fauci on his agency’s financial ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. “For years, Dr. Ralph Baric, a virologist in the U.S., has been collaborating with Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Virology Institute, sharing his discoveries about how to create super viruses. This gain-of-function...

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Carjacking is booming like no form of crime in Biden’s America. Homicides are up, especially in those cities that defunded their police, pharmacies are going out of business in San Francisco and other cities where shoplifting was legalized, but stealing cars is where it’s really at now. Carjackings more than doubled in Chicago, and increased 537% in Minneapolis, the capital of police defunding, and around 500% in Washington D.C. In Atlanta, mayoral candidate Antonio Brown, who...

LONDON - When U.S. President Joe Biden flies to Europe this week, he will find his hosts welcoming but wary. His predecessor Donald Trump may be gone, but he leaves a long shadow. Biden’s first foreign trip as president starts Wednesday and includes a gathering of the Group of Seven wealthy nations by the seaside in southwest England, a NATO summit, a meeting with European Union chiefs, and then a tete-a-tete in Geneva with his Russian counterpart and adversary, Vladimir Putin. For most of America’s allies, Biden is a relief. Trump often sowed chaos, accusing the NATO military alliance of...

In another piece of sour news out of South America, Peru's populist-conservative candidate, Keiko Fujimori, has seen her election lead suddenly vanish from the vote count that came of Sunday's election.According to Reuters:Peruvian socialist Pedro Castillo widened his lead against right-wing rival Keiko Fujimori in the country’s presidential vote on Monday, but she said she will not concede yet and alleged “irregularities,” although without showing much proof.The official count from Sunday's election showed outsider candidate Castillo with 50.3% and Fujimori on 49.7%, with around 95% of the vote counted. The leftist candidate had trailed overnight, but started to take the...

LONDON (AP) — Multiple websites went offline briefly across the globe Tuesday after an outage at the cloud service company Fastly, revealing how critical a handful of companies running the internet’s plumbing have become. Dozens of sites including the New York Times, CNN, some Amazon sites, Twitch, Reddit, the Guardian, and the U.K. government’s home page, could not be reached. In Asia, cities like Hong Kong and Singapore were also affected, with users unable to access the CNN website. In China, where most foreign media websites are blocked, there was little discussion on the outage on social media platforms such...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” host Chris Cuomo said that we’re “wasting” energy on whether COVID-19 came from a lab or naturally. After CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said that he doesn’t think the U.S. is adequately prepared for the next pandemic and wasn’t for the coronavirus pandemic, Cuomo said, “I don’t know what the excuse is, I have to tell you, it’s embarrassing. And even now, all this energy we’re wasting on, was it the lab, was it a bat in the wild or at the market or whatever it is? These are the same...

Amazon is working on a shared low-bandwidth network and it needs your help – specifically your Wi-Fi. By pooling neighbor's Wi-Fi together, the Seattle-based e-commerce giant says its Amazon Sidewalk network can extend the low-bandwidth working range of devices, ultimately helping them stay better connected to the internet. The shared network works off of Sidewalk Bridge devices – including select Echo and Ring devices – together. Sidewalk launched on eligible Ring devices last year, but will launch on eligible Echo devices on June 8. "These Bridge devices share a small portion of your internet bandwidth which is pooled together to...

Former President Obama is warning of the “dangers” of cancel culture — saying it is creating a society where we are “just going to be condemning people all the time.” The 44th commander-in-chief told Anderson Cooper in a CNN special Monday that he hoped the movement to demand changes in some old-fashioned attitudes would be a key part of his legacy.
