NEW YORK — The myth that “boys don’t cry” just got another nail in its coffin. You may be surprised by the results of a new survey that show men tend to cry more often than women. Are 21st century men more sensitive than generations past? According to the poll of 2,004 Americans, men cry on average about four times a month. Women, on the other hand, weep about three times in a given month. That’s 48 times a year for men and only 36 for women. Men cry — and they do something about it, too The stereotype that...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning that a salmonella outbreak believed to be linked to onions imported from Chihuahua, Mexico, has spread to 37 states — sickening over 650 people. The CDC directed businesses on Wednesday evening to stop selling fresh whole red, white, or yellow onions that were imported from Chihuahua and distributed by ProSource Inc. It also suggested businesses clean any surfaces that may have touched such onions. The agency urged Americans to throw away any whole red, white, or yellow onions that don’t have a sticker or packaging.

VIDEOWatch Joe Manchin give a spelling lesson to a group of reporters. However, I think he might have skipped the spelling of the second syllable of the word.

After years of enduring antagonistic and sometimes inaccurate media treatment of himself and his supporters, Donald J. Trump has decided to build his own media empire, complete with a subscription TV network and social media platform that promises to eschew censorship and embrace traditional American values. The 45th president announced Wednesday night the formation of the publicly traded Trump Media & Technology Group, whose first public asset promises to be a new social platform called TRUTH Social. "I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech," Trump said in a statement announcing the network....

AUSTIN—State Sen. Kel Seliger announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election. “After thoughtful consideration and with the reassurance of my family, including my new very vocal granddaughter, I have decided not to be a candidate for re-election to the Texas Senate,” the Amarillo Republican wrote. “From my first campaign in 1989 to today, I have felt overwhelmingly proud to serve the Panhandle, South Plains and the Permian Basin.” Seliger, who has represented District 31 in the Texas Senate since 2004, wrote in a statement that he is “most known for his unwavering support of local control, public education, higher...

Condoleezza Rice denounces critical race theory, arguing that it condemns white students as "guilty" and condemns black students as "disempowered."

Democrats’ months-long drive for muscular new federal voting rights legislation hit a new roadblock Wednesday, with options for progress dwindling as Senate Republicans remained united in blocking debate on the issue. ... But the realities of the Senate — with a razor-thin Democratic majority and a united Republican minority empowered by the long-standing filibuster rule requiring a 60-vote supermajority to advance most legislation — continue to make progress difficult and wholly dependent on the willingness of key Democratic senators to change their views on modifying the Senate’s rules. ... The new bill, called the Freedom to Vote Act, keeps some...

The papers and newscasts on Wednesday morning were filled with stories about how just incredibly focused the Biden people are on the rollout of the vaccinations of American kids from the ages of 5 to 11 (once the science guys give absolutely final approval). Yessiree, Bob: They’re working so hard! I know this because Surgeon General Vivek Murthy told me so on the “Today” show this morning. “We’re working really hard” talking to doctors and nurses and teachers and the like, he said. Also: They’re shortening needles to make them less scary for kids! They’re developing a whole new model...

Moscow officials said on Thursday that Russia’s capital will start implementing COVID-19 restrictions to combat a surge of coronavirus infections and deaths that have rocked the country, the Associated Press reported. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced that between Oct. 28 and Nov. 7, places including entertainment spots, gyms, restaurants and nongrocery stores would be closed to the general public for that period in addition to kindergartens and schools. Only those who have a COVID-19 digital pass, which indicates proof of vaccination or previous COVID-19 encounters, will be allowed to frequent certain entertainment venues like theaters and museums, according to the...

Anthony Fauci is a liar. If you read our reports on him regularly, this is not breaking news. What IS breaking is that the National Institute of Health has finally, reluctantly admitted that Fauci and NIH Director Francis S. Collins lied when they said that they had not funded gain-of-function research. They did, just as Senator Rand Paul has been claiming for months. “I told you so” doesn’t even begin to cover it here: https://t.co/9JFn85I24i — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) October 21, 2021 According to Breitbart: Fauci testified to Senators at a hearing in May that the NIH “has not...

Feedback please. Constructive comments please. The thought was to put LOCAL county officials, generally health departments, or a CEO, boss on legal notice of things they don't seem to know about COVID19 successes in several countries with super dense populations. A legal notice about the latest Ivermectin Observational Studies in several countries that have happened lately in large dense populations. That would let them and you know that they know for sure and with possibly professional legal service. If they don't act accordingly, in this case by distributing Ivermectin to people with symptoms or make it easy to get or...

The White House press secretary is a perfect representative of our spiteful ruling class. Let us now praise Jennifer Rene Psaki—English major, sorority girl, mother of two. Let us praise her seemingly endless supply of monochrome crew-neck blouses and pencil skirts, the way she peels her mask off after striding to the lectern. Jen Psaki has been briefed by her 11 staffers; she has had her coffee (and her bagel, if it’s Wednesday); she is freshly armed with the latest talking points and she is not going to take any of your guff today. Jen communicates just how on top...

Vice President Kamala Harris, who appears to be in the witness protection program when it comes to her assigned role of restoring our southern border, has re-surfaced in a video she sent to 300 Black churches in Virginia. In it, she calls on congregants to vote for Democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe. She even reminds them they can vote on Sundays and urges them to do so following their church service, presumably after worshipping an Authority higher than the state. Did Harris just violate the Hatch Act? The Hatch Act says of employees of the federal government: "an employee...

Turkey’s central bank cut interest rates for the second succesive month on Thursday in what economists interpreted as confirmation of its loss of independence from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The bank cut its policy rate to 16 from 18 percent despite soaring inflation and a depreciating currency. The lira extended its fall into record-low territory against the dollar and euro after the announcement. Erdogan has been pushing the policy-setting bank to cut interests rates in order to boost lending and promote investment and economic growth. This expansionist policy has helped Turkey’s economy grow throughout the coronavirus pandemic and perform far...

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says he’s getting "very little push back" from fellow Republicans over his burgeoning effort to reboot what he hopes will be a post-Donald Trump GOP. Duncan spotlights that other Republicans have quietly come up to him and thanked him for "doing the right thing" and tell him "this means a lot for this country, this means a lot for this party." Georgia’s lieutenant governor made his comments in a national exclusive interview with Fox News and during an address to an audience at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics on Tuesday, where...

I consider my children to be extraordinarily lucky to be born and live in the United States. When I moved here from France in 1999, I believed that, while far from perfect, America still very much embraced the values held by its founders, especially a respect for pluralism and viewpoint diversity In fact, I've long believed that the First Amendment's protections for freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition are indispensable ingredients for the success of a country with hundreds of millions of diverse people whose ancestors arrived here from all over the world. By the time I moved...

In what could become the NBA's second PR crisis in China in as many years, the Boston Celtics games are being blacked out in the country after team center and human rights advocate Enes Kanter voiced his support for a free Tibet and criticized 'brutal dictator' Xi Jinping. Kanter, who has also opposed the government in his native Turkey, tweeted a two-minute video of himself expressing support for Tibet and wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of the Dalai Lama, its exiled spiritual leader. 'I'm here to add my voice and speak out about what is happening in Tibet,'...
