North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a freshman Republican congressman, is calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Biden from office following the deadly, botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. "Our nation is at a crisis point," he wrote in a letter to Harris and the rest of the cabinet Thursday. He warned of China’s ambitions on the world stage, the resurgent Russia, rising inflation, chaos at the southern border and other global predicaments threatening the U.S. – and argued that confronting them will take strong, decisive leadership. "Joe Biden’s physical inability to...

Vice President Kamala Harris inexplicably blocked reporters for an event in Hawaii on Thursday amid the firestorm over events in Afghanistan. “The VP’s staff informed the pool during the flight that her event with troops at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam would now be closed press,” an update from Harris’ press pool said late Thursday. “No explanation given by the VP’s team for why it has been changed to closed press when asked by a member of the pool.” The event is on the tail end of Harris’ trip to southeast Asia, which was plagued by negative headlines for the vice...

Monica Lewinsky said that she requested the infamous scene where she flashed her thong to then-President Bill Clinton be added to the upcoming series about their affair, “Impeachment: American Crime Story.” Lewinsky, 48, was a producer on the show, and said the writers initially left the scene out. “I would’ve loved to have been really selfish and said, ‘That’s great that you guys think we don’t have to show that, fantastic,’ but I’m incredibly experienced in understanding how people see this story,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. Lewinsky noted that, just or not, she would have been blamed if the...

Lawmakers and political figures on both sides of the aisle suggest missteps by the Biden administration may have left Americans vulnerable to the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport on Thursday. In a video statement Friday, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said America’s powerful elite have downplayed the threat of ISIS and Al-Qaeda for reasons she could not detail because of her active duty status. “This incident should remind the American people that ISIS and Al-Qaeda are alive and well,” Gabbard stated. “And are actively continuing to use terror to try to force the world to accept their demand that we...

Four months ago, Bari Weiss published a first hand account of wokeism taking over a private high school in New York. Math teacher Paul Rossi wrote: My school, like so many others, induces students via shame and sophistry to identify primarily with their race before their individual identities are fully formed. Students are pressured to conform their opinions to those broadly associated with their race and gender and to minimize or dismiss individual experiences that don’t match those assumptions. The morally compromised status of “oppressor” is assigned to one group of students based on their immutable characteristics. In the meantime,...

The married couple shot dead in Utah was seen relaxing at a local bar the night before they went missing — when they told friends about a “weirdo” camping near them, according to a report. Kylen Schulte, 24, and Crystal Beck, 38 — who wed in April — smiled and chatted with friends in their Moab local, Woody’s Tavern, in footage obtained by the Daily Beast. “We were just having a great time, having a couple of drinks, and all they said was there was a creep [staying] next to them,” said Kayla Borza, who was one of the last...

The U.S. Department of Education announced Thursday it will cancel $1.1 billion in student debt for 115,000 borrowers. The relief will go to those who attended ITT Technical Institute, a for-profit school that is now defunct. The school is accused of misrepresenting itself and steering students into pricey private loans. These borrowers didn’t finish their degrees and left the school after March 31, 2008.

Dyanna Volek was never someone who dreamed of becoming a mother. From an early age, she knew deep down that she didn't want children. Maybe it stemmed from seeing her mother sacrifice her dream of becoming a flight attendant and work three jobs to raise two kids alone. Or maybe it was that other endeavors interested her more. "I'm always looking forward to the next thing," said Volek, who works in local government in San Francisco. "Being a parent was never one of them." Still, the idea of not having children seemed taboo, so she didn't dwell on it much....

The elites--Charles Schwab at the World Economic Forum, the front man, the real powers, Zbigniew Brzezinski with David Rockefeller in the 1970s, Gro Harlem Brundtland around 2000, or today, Parag Khanna, at Davos, backed by BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street with 67% of world assets--decided that the U.S. must finally, definitively go down after the long decline since the early 1970s, the U.S. must no longer have any real economic autonomy, because its example of freedom to the world causes process disruption in efficient top-down control of all world economic resources. In Jr. College in the late 1970s, I had...

“To turn off the television and the phone — these are probably two of the most sacred acts that we can perform for our own salvation and sanity,” Bishop Donald Hying, of Madison, Wisconsin, writes, in his new book, “Love Never Fails: Living the Catholic Faith in Our Daily Lives.” In a world full of distractions, disappointments, and otherwise depressing circumstances, falling back on the basics — faith, hope, and love... ....

Sen. Mitt Romney says if Congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden are set on passing a $3.5 trillion spending bill without a single Republican vote, then Democrats should be responsible for raising the nation’s debt limit. “Right now it’s my colleagues across the aisle who are raising the spending. They should be the ones who raise the debt ceiling,” Romney said during a wide-ranging visit with The Tribune’s editorial board. The fight over the debt limit is a high-stakes game of “chicken” playing out in Congress, where Democrats have very slim majorities in both the House and Senate. The debt...
