The fly-over woman understands her womanhood and motherhood deep in her bones and doesn’t see maleness as a goal to achieve or person to conquer.Adherents of radical feminism are five decades into a powerful campaign that seeks to shape the way American women think. Politics, fashion, Hollywood, academia, and media propagate a singular vision of womanhood, relying on savvy use of optics, messaging, and even make-up. These radical feminists have done a remarkable job of silencing or sidelining their critics. Ironically, whether they know it or not, feminists’ unspoken premise insists men are superior to women and women must become...

On a sunny Friday morning, Lindsey Baker was waiting at a bus stop across from Carlow University in Oakland. Clad in typical summer clothing — shorts and a T-shirt — Ms. Baker, 23, was biding her time for a bus to take her to Robinson, where she works as an assistant manager at the clothing store Maurices. But one piece of clothing she was wearing is becoming increasingly unnecessary in Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania — a mask. The Pennsylvania Department of Health is lifting its order requiring universal face coverings on Monday, but this doesn't apply everywhere. The Centers for Disease...

In one of the best examples of how far and twisted the left’s manic loathing for America has gone, the 26th U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt will be canceled. ================================================================================== Roosevelt ushered in the 20th Century as one of America’s most energetic and greatest contributors to the success, and preservation of the United States. He is generally regarded as one of the United States five best Presidents. This is no small-fry Confederate General or Freemasonic Klansman statue we are talking about. The decision has been made for TR to be canceled as his embattled statue representing the preservation and exploration of...

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up the issue of whether the nation's schools must allow students to use the bathroom that match their gender identities. The court declined, without comment, to hear the case of Gavin Grimm, who has been at the center of a long legal battle with the school board in Gloucester County, Virginia. Grimm was born female but identified as male after his freshman year in high school, legally changing his name and beginning hormone therapy. The principal at first gave him permission to use the boys' bathroom, but the school board later adopted...

Sahara is not alone in her appreciation for this country after escaping constant danger. I recently met a woman who is a Christian Armenian that grew up in Iran and had to escape the country during the revolution with barely any resources. She came to America with a couple hundred dollars in her pocket but found a way to succeed. Now she has a son that is attending a prestigious university and he doesn’t have to experience the turmoil that his mother endured. Although they were not born in this country, they exemplify the appreciation that every American should have...

The sum total endgame of this reveal is the line, a canonical declaration that Loki dates men and women, with no effect on his character or the narrative.The MCU officially has their first openly gay main character. Sort of.Midway through episode three of the latest MCU Disney Plus series “Loki,” a small conversation between the God of Mischief and an alternate universe version of himself called Sylvie reveals that both have a dating history of impermanent dalliances with both men and women. Lasting under 30 seconds, the bit of dialogue serves little plot function except to show the bonding between...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) believes it is essential to eliminate the filibuster, which requires 60 votes to pass most legislation, because Democrat policies are “popular.” Responding to remarks from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), who is adamantly opposed to ending the filibuster, Ocasio-Cortez argued political systems “all across the country” and “all across the world” use a simple majority to pass legislation and that the functions of the U.S. Senate should be no different.

Do you speak the grammatically-correct language of white supremacy, or are you better than that? At Maryland’s Towson University recently, a virtual conference ripped the racism of “rightful” words. June 17th’s Antiracist Pedagogy Symposium sought to shed light on selecting syllables. Associate Professor of Language, Literacy, and English Education April Baker-Bell — of Michigan State University — insisted teachers’ enforcement of standard English rules is an assault on “black language.” Furthermore, per Campus Reform, she indicated black Americans bear a burden of racist violence. White language guidelines, from the sound of things, aren’t too dissimilar: “[It’s apparent that] anti-blackness that...

President Biden was hit with a fact-check from The Washington Post on Monday after repeating a false claim last week that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution bars citizens from owning cannons. “And I might add: The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon," Biden said during a speech on gun violence in America last week. The Post, citing experts on the Second Amendment and historical documents, reported Biden's assertion about cannons relative to the...

“He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent” (Proverbs 28:19).

Developers of doomed Fla. tower were once accused of paying off officials: report The developers of the Miami condo tower that collapsed were once accused of paying off local officials to get permits for the site — which needed $15 million in repairs just to bring it to code, a new report says. Building rivals claimed that the partners behind Surfside Champlain Towers South were receiving preferential treatment when it came to getting through the permit system as the site was being built in 1981, the Washington Post said. Surfside’s developers had contributed to the campaigns of at least two...

Tamara Wilhite: What are the “Terra-Bravo” novels about? And how many books are in your military scifi “Terra-Bravo Saga” series now? Jeff Fortney: The “Terra-Bravo” novels begin in “Chaos on Terra-Prime” with the United States entering into a “cold” civil war, leaving many of our military personnel stranded overseas. This civil war effectively removes the U.S. as a global power, and terrorist nations around the world take advantage of that absence to spread their dominion over other countries.

The way to solve America's issues and connect with Republican voters is not to parrot libertarian talking points that enable leftist power.I am always wary of those who purport to speak for their respective generation, and a recent New York Post op-ed by a self-espoused libertarian student at New York University put on full display exactly what the Republican Party must abandon in the years ahead. In close to 700 words, writer Rikki Schlott calls for the GOP to “compromise on social and environmental issues and stand up to leftist extremism,” ignoring that these two are different sides of the...

The Kinky Curly Coily Festival celebrated everything about black hair. Black hair is versatile. You can braid it, fro it, loc it and so much more... I actually do some of my student's hair as well," said Worlds. "It helps me form better relationships with my kids. I am pretty sure I use a hair analogy with my kids to tell them why we use math in the real world." For local artist and songwriter Ivy Roots, her natural hair is a symbol of freedom... "We like to change our hair up," said Worlds. "I wear wigs all the time."

WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 27. THE COMPROMISE RUMORS. I have traced the compromise story of the sen- sation reporters to its source. Confidential messengers really have brought communications from the Governor of Virginia to the Government here, and the Administration has really sent back confidential messengers to the capital of Virginia, to negotiate with the Governor of that State. So far the story is true; but it happens that it is Gov. PIERPONT, at Wheeling, and not Mr. JEFF. DAVIS nor Mr. JOHN LETCHER, at Richmond, with whom these communications have been held. GEN. SCOTT NOT WAITING FOR CONGRESS. The report...

Gwen Berry, an American who qualified for this summer’s Olympics, turned away from the American flag when the National Anthem played. She even claimed she was “set up” by being on the podium when the Star Spangled Banner began. Berry placed third in the hammer throw at the US Olympic trials. She will be heading to Tokyo to represent the very country she is protesting. She has a history of disrespect during the National Anthem and it appears she will be taking that same approach to Tokyo.

Recent inquiries about whether FBI operatives were mixed in among the protesters and intruders who broke into the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 will more likely uncover the presence of FBI informants rather than undercover agents, according to Marc Ruskin, a 27-year FBI veteran and former undercover agent who is also an Epoch Times contributor. Before he left the bureau in 2012, there were only about 100 undercover FBI agents in the whole country, Ruskin told the Epoch Times. Deployment of each requires a lengthy, “very resource-intensive” operation that needs to be approved on several levels. Even if there...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received reports of 4,115 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases who were hospitalized or died. Of those cases, 26% of hospitalizations were reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19, and 19% of the 750 fatalities were reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19.

Officials...

I tried every trick known to me to speed up my Dell laptop, from defragmenting hard drive to updating drivers. Nothing helped.

The Arizona Legislature has voted to revoke the election-related lawsuit authority of Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who has been desperately trying to delegitimize the results of the forensic audit ahead of its preliminary results. The authority would be transferred to the state’s Attorney General if approved by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. The Arizona State Legislature has voted to revoke highly partisan Democrat Katie Hobbs’ authority in election related lawsuits, as she has been frantically trying to delegitimize the results of the forensic audit of the 2020 election in Arizona ahead of the release of its preliminary results.
