A New Jersey school district has voted to eliminate "the names of all religious and secular holidays from the school calendar ... opting for the more generic description 'Day Off.'" You can guess the reason. They used those increasingly popular words -- "inclusive" and "equitable." No more Christmas, Hanukkah, Memorial Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or even Indigenous Peoples Day (formerly known as Columbus Day). Maybe they should keep April Fools' Day because that accurately reflects their decision. Or, since they have chosen "Day Off," they could name them after the film character Ferris Bueller. New Jersey State Senator...

While Biden later apologized for the remark, calling himself a “wise guy,” Collins’ fellow reporters did not take the comment lightly — New York Magazine’s Oliva Nuzzi suggesting that the president might in the “wrong business” if he can’t answer questions “without losing [his] temper.”

Attorney Ty Clevenger has been trying for years to get to the bottom of Seth Rich’s death and the Deep State FBI’s actions in response to it. Yesterday the FBI responded to his recent FOIA request and Clevenger believes based on the response it will be decades until all the requested records are released. This is your FBI in action. Ty Clevenger has been trying to get all the records the FBI has surrounding the death of former DNC employee Seth Rich. Rich was gunned down at 4am in Washington DC in the summer of 2016. Many people believe Rich...

Victoria’s Secret is doing away with Angels and bringing soccer star Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra and others on board instead. “When the world was changing, we were too slow to respond,” Martin Waters, the chief executive of the brand, told The New York Times in an article published Wednesday. “We needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want.” The brand is hiring a list of spokeswomen not to model the brand’s lingerie, but to promote the brand through podcast and other marketing materials, according to Page Six. That list includes Rapinoe, Chopra,...

Cory Bernardi: It’s just extraordinary Paul… The only conclusion I can come to, is they found a way for people to donate their brains to science and allow the bodies to keep walking around. Because there are so many stupid people out there at the moment that will do anything that Dr. Fauci says even when he contradicts himself. And there is a bit of research you haven’t aired it on your show, and it says more Americans rely on Dr. Pepper for their advice than they do Dr. Fauci.

But I cannot emphasize this enough: The existence of wealthy non-white people is not a counterpoint to the fact that the climate crisis was strongly perpetuated by white, Western European ideas about dominance. (Nor is the existence of poor, white people who suffer because of our climate-destroying economic system.) Across social classes, the Western European ideal of “success” is based very much on extractive economies, materialism, and individualism — each a pillar of the climate crisis. When you consider this foundation, it is not a coincidence that almost all of those mega-billionaires are white. … There is no shortage of...

Watch Bannon’s War Room 10 AM Eastern.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” host Chris Cuomo criticized former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and accused him of hypocrisy on the origins of COVID-19, saying, “You remember Pompeo saying, I have seen proof of the origin of COVID. I have seen what happened in the Wuhan lab. And then what? He dummied up. Where was the proof? But now he believes in tough, now he believes in follow-through.” Cuomo said, “Of course, Putin’s work of weakening our country is being done for him, right? By the rabid right. Another sign of how pathetic our politics are, Trumpers...

The advertised purpose of the “Endless Frontier Act” is to increase high tech competition with China. This, of course, is a goal that every American should be able to get behind. However, the advertised purpose of the bill, as laudable as it may be, is not actually what the bill will do. In other words, the "Endless Frontier Act" was sold under false pretenses and using fabricated promises. If the Senate were serious about helping America win the high tech competition with China, it would do a number of important things, including, but not limited to: (1) protect our nation’s...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, June 16. The Sanitary Commission created by order of President LINCOLN, for the purpose of supervising the condition of the Volunteer forces, closed its first session in Washington on Saturday, and adjourned to meet in New-York on Thursday of next week. The work of the Commission has been confined thus far to organization and inquiry, preparatory to practical efforts in behalf of the troops. The inquiries made comprehend the entire scope of sanitary measures. It is hardly necessary to say that this Commission may work great good. I am glad to believe that it will produce results in...

In January 1995, I made a list of 18 attributes that described the type of man I wanted to marry. The list included "wants children," "high family ties -- loves his mother," "secure in themselves" and "social." Three years later, I married such a man. A man who more than met the criteria, Jimmy Cushman. I first knew that we would marry when he was helping me hang curtains in my house. Standing in front of a window, wearing jeans, hammer in hand, he was staring up, determining the next steps. In a flash, I knew that we would one...

President Joe Biden gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a pair of sunglasses and a crystal sculpture Wednesday to mark their meeting in Geneva. A White House official described the sunglasses in a statement sent to reporters: Biden prefers the large military-style aviator sunglasses while Putin has been photographed with more narrow sunglasses.

"In the 10 years Deloitte has been conducting the Millennial Survey, millennials and Gen Zs' lives have changed, but their values have remained steadfast. They have sustained their idealism, their desire for a better world, and their belief that business can and should do more to help society," said Michele Parmelee, Deloitte Global Deputy CEO and Chief People and Purpose Officer. … Climate change and protecting the environment was millennials' No. 1 personal concern a year ago. Perhaps unsurprising, this year, health and unemployment fears topped the list of personal concerns for millennials. Yet, their continued focus on environmental issues...

The best way to be sure a debate is lost is to accept it within the framework provided. So, with that being said, the debate about Big Pharma is another example of beginning a discussion back on one's heels and at an immediate disadvantage. Without a doubt, hearing or reading the words "Big Pharma" conjures up the image of an enormous, greedy and wildly profitable industry prospering and expanding as it lays waste to the public and extinguishes its competition. This is the inherent context in which any public conversation about Big Pharma begins. Big Pharma reaps scandalous profits while...

“The defendant, a prominent attorney and media personality with a large public following, betrayed his client and sought to enrich himself by weaponizing his public profile in an attempt to extort a publicly-traded company out of tens of millions of dollars,” prosecutors wrote in their Wednesday court request, according to the AP. “This was an egregious abuse of trust, and it warrants real and serious punishment,” they added.

Everything Biden does is a lie – so it’s no surprise Biden’s cheat sheet in England is all Trump-bashing based on absolute lies. Creepy and corrupt Joe Biden found himself in England this past week. We’re not sure if he knew he was there or if he’ll ever remember it based on his current level of senility. The entire event was a train wreck as his gang tried to salvage his pretend characture on the world stage. His entire campaign and Administration are based on lies. So it comes as no surprise that Biden’s notes were full of lies as...

Over the course of the last six months, a populist movement to weaken the rights of IP holders has swept across the country. Impacting a cross section of politically diverse states, including California, Texas, Hawaii, and Arkansas, the “right-to-repair” movement and its allies succeeded in introducing flawed legislation that would have devastated the intellectual property rights of innovators by using the levers of state government to advantage one competitor over another. Attacks on IP have become more common, yet they tug at the heart of free markets by using government power to take IP from one to give to another....

The Left tried to use last summer’s momentum from the Black Lives Matter movement to push its destructive ideas of so-called “anti-racism” and critical race theory. Now, it's frantically trying to redefine the terms of the debate, as the momentum has built up against it instead. Liberals are now asking that you pay no attention to the curriculum behind the curtain. They have taken to insisting that critical race theory isn’t actually being taught in K-12 schools, even though there are clear examples that show that it is. The New York Times even wrote in July 2020 about the “anti-racism”...
