Parents have accused America's top high school of a 'purge' after slashing its intake of Asian American students by 20 percent because 'they are the wrong minority.' Anti-Critical Race Theory campaigner Asra Nomani, whose child graduated from the school this year, claims Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) in Virginia is making race a factor in the admissions criteria and discriminating against Asian children. She said TJ, which ranked the number one school nationwide in the US News Best High Schools report in April and as a public school has no tuition fees, has 'systematically set out...

A statue of Martin Luther King Jr. in California was vandalized with “horrific graffiti” in a despicable act that’s being investigated as a hate crime, officials say. Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said the likeness of the civil rights icon at Martin Luther King Jr. Park was defaced over the July Fourth holiday weekend. “The LBPD are investigating this as a hate crime and we are working to catch whoever committed this awful act,” Garcia tweeted Monday. “Our MLK statue is a symbol of hope and justice for the community. This hate and desecration has no place in our city.”...

About two years ago, I spoke to a class of UNC-Chapel Hill students about free speech: what it is and why it is important. I covered some basic points such as the kinds of speech the First Amendment does and does not protect. I also talked about the importance of respecting dissenting opinions, and how shutting down ideas is not the most effective way to get people to change their minds. To my surprise, several students stated that they believed that it was their constitutional right to prevent someone else from speaking, if they disagreed with what was being said....

As the end to America’s “forever war” rapidly approaches, the U.S. Embassy and other diplomatic missions in Kabul are watching a worsening security situation and looking at how to respond. In the countryside, districts are falling to the Taliban in rapid succession. America’s warlord allies are re-arming their militias, which have a violent history, raising the specter of another civil war once the U.S. withdrawal is finished, expected in August.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday said the Biden Administration will be sending goons door-to-door to harass Americans who have not been vaccinated.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) put out a “Dear Colleague” letter as the nation headed into the Fourth of July weekend in which she described the Fourth as her “favorite non-religious holiday.” The Fourth of July is my favorite non-religious holiday, one when we all draw inspiration from the great courage of our Founders,” Pelosi said. […] “My favorite Fourth of July quote this year was presented by Barbara Clark Smith, a curator of political history at the National Museum of American History, who said that the signing of the Declaration of Independence was ‘an extraordinary achievement… They did find...

Larry Sanger, who co-founded Wikipedia in 2001, says that the free online encyclopedia has become “more one-sided than ever” and is dominated by liberal sources in such a way that makes it “an opponent of vigorous democracy.” “Wikipedia openly repudiates neutrality, and therefore it is shamelessly hypocritical in how it continues to pay lip service to its “neutral point of view” policy,’” Sanger wrote on his website last week. “A lot of mainstream news stories are broken only in Fox News, the Daily Mail, and the New York Post—all of which are banned from use as sources by Wikipedia.” “In...

-SNIP- Critical race theory reformulates the old Marxist dialectic of oppressor and oppressed, replacing the class categories of bourgeoisie and proletariat with the identity categories of white and Black. But the basic conclusion is the same: In order to liberate man, society must be fundamentally transformed through moral, economic and political revolution. In simple terms, critical race theory can be seen as a form of “race-based Marxism"; they share a common conceptual framework. Critical race theory was derived from “critical theory,” a 20th century ideology sometimes called “neo-Marxism.” -SNIP- First, these lessons primarily reduce individual students to the racial categories...

I bet you already heard about the 2030 Great Reset that is being pumped by the United Nations. The UN uses a rainbow circle logo for this project, with 17 rainbow goals that represent their wish to create a utopian world order. The rainbow circle with these 17 goals represents what Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has dubbed “The Great Reset.” Schwab has been incredibly sincere about his desire to use the covid-19 hoax to establish a New World Order. He even wrote a book about it, which is titled, take a load of this: “COVID-19: The Great...

Gaps in Our Knowledge First, myocarditis remains a heterogenous disease with highly variable presentations and causes. As such, it is challenging to establish a comparison between historical cases of myocarditis and those seen in the current case reports. Second, the retrospective nature of the current case reports leaves them open to bias and limits the ability to offer an appropriate matched control group. The widespread press coverage of the topic could certainly result in availability bias on behalf of providers, and the lack of a protocolized diagnostic approach to these cases leaves open the possibility of missed alternative diagnoses (particularly...

VIDEOAlan Duke, the "fact-checker" for Facebook, appeared on the War Room on July 6 and it did not go well for him at all. At first Duke seemed somewhat rational but after being confronted by Raheem Kassam of the "National Pulse" and Jack Posobiec, he quickly devolved into a stumbling, sputtering hot mess of an epic meltdown as you can see.

I just disembarked Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas, the line’s first cruise ship to sail from a U.S. port in more than 15 months. When I arrived at the Port of Miami, I had to pass through a checkpoint. At this checkpoint, an agent told me that if I wanted to present a vaccine card, now was the time to do so. I showed mine and the agent gave me a purple rubber bracelet to wear. Passengers who didn’t voluntarily show proof of vaccination, were directed to a testing area. In the testing area, they were each given an...

Norway's health authorities have doubled down on their recommendation for those without symptoms not to wear face masks, arguing that the number of infections in Norway was now so low that they were unnecessary. In a memo, published in English on its website, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, said that even in the best case, with medical masks which prevent 40 percent of infections, 200,000 people would have to wear them to prevent just one new infection per week. This, it said, meant that the likely negative impacts outweighed any benefits “in the current epidemiological situation”.
