HONG KONG (AP) — Yahoo Inc. on Tuesday said it plans to pull out of China, citing an “increasingly challenging business and legal environment.” The company said in a statement that its services will no longer be accessible from mainland China as of Nov. 1. “Yahoo remains committed to the rights of our users and a free and open internet. We thank our users for their support,” the statement read.

A good friend who owns a major auto dealership in the Dallas area recently told me he typically has about 500 to 1,000 cars and trucks on his lot. Now, he has 15. That's how severe the supply chain problem has become. He said people are buying cars over the sticker price. You usually haggle down the price for a new car. Now, you haggle up the price! Welcome to Bidenflation. But now, the Commerce Department has reported that the high-flying U.S. economy with a 6.5% growth rate for the first half of this year has crash-landed in the third...

NEW YORK, NY—In his new six-episode limited series on Netflix, Colin Kaepernick proudly proclaimed that no NFL slave owner will ever enslave him no matter how many times he tries out to be a slave. After being emancipated from his former owner the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, Kaepernick has worked tirelessly to become a slave again. "I try out for NFL slavery every year, and they keep rejecting me. The NFL is oppressive, and it's also oppressive that they refuse to oppress me," he said. In May 2017, he visited the brutal Seattle Seahawks Plantation hoping to become a...

On Jan. 29, 2019, the world got a first-hand glimpse into just how devastating the effects of cancel culture can be and its glaring hypocrisy for Black, queer people. On this day, Jussie Smollett, award-winning actor and former star of Empire reported his assault to the Chicago police, citing racist and homophobic slurs being hurled at him while being physically beaten. Prior to this incident, Smollett, an openly queer and Black man, would captivate audiences week after week in his role as fictional musical legend Jamal Lyon on Empire. Slowly making his rounds to becoming a legend in his own...

Add train thefts to the long list of serious problems in crime-ridden, Democrat-controlled Los Angeles. Journalist Adam Housley, who previously worked for Fox News, alerted America to this issue (which also could perhaps add to supply chain woes) by tweeting out a dystopian-like image of what appears to be the remnants of ransacked materials left on train tracks. “Meantime…this is modern day train robbery. Modern day LA not far from Union Station…a few days ago. Unfortunately it is happening every day. As soon as the train stops, thieves start opening containers. It is quite well organized. This is the main...

Given the level of resistance within the Air Force to the vaccine mandate, there's reason to believe that it could affect national security. The Pentagon has issued a vaccine mandate for the military, and members of the Air Force have responded. Up to 12,000 service members have flatly stated they will refuse to be vaccinated against COVID. Air Force brass is threatening the service members with punishment up to and including dismissal from the service. The sheer number refusing the mandate brings up the problem of how to maintain readiness. More than 90% of Air Force personnel are already partially...

To most readers of this column, the question is absurd. The reason is not because the question is, in fact, absurd; it is because most readers of this column are conservative, and many are religious. Am I implying that most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong? Yes, I am. As incredible as this assertion is to just about all religious people and virtually all conservatives, most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong. Since I always draw a distinction between those on the Left and liberals, let me add that I suspect most liberals think stealing is wrong. But...

Tucker Carlson could have been describing exactly what’s going on in the public schools in Brevard County, Florida. "Whatever the left accuses you of is exactly what they are doing." —Tucker Carlson Beyond the current, attention-grabbing race hoax brought to us by leftist Democrats in Virginia, Tucker's maxim couldn't ring more true than in Brevard County, Florida regarding the leftist Democrats on the Brevard Public Schools (BPS) School Board. This goes particularly for board member Jennifer Jenkins. Given her recent spate of high-profile appearances, leftist Democrats are clearly priming Jenkins for higher office. But she's also curiously mirroring the Biden...

Explosive Press Conference event presenting shocking recordings of hospital executives discussing coordinated plans to restrict fluids and nutrition for hospitalized COVID patients, suppression of all visitation for COVID patients while in hospital, denial of vital medicines and more. Actual prisoners in America are given more rights than COVID patients in America’s hospitals.

Not all of them, of course, but those who are constantly in our faces certainly are thugs. They didn't used to be, but they are now. "The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him." —Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince Not all of them, but those who are constantly in our faces certainly are thugs. Schumer, Pelosi, the Clintons, the Obamas, A.G. Garland, CNN commentators, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC, the execrable Terry McAuliffe, and of course Joe Biden. Thugs all. Not one of them can utter a word without...

It’s a mystery for the ages – how a never-was ended up becoming one of the most famous people in the country. This never-was once played professional football and had a couple of decent seasons, even making it to the Super Bowl once. He lost. Then he lost whatever limited ability he once had, fading into the oblivion back-bench players live in on their way out the door. But this was Colin Kaepernick, someone you’ve undoubtedly heard of by now, a guy reduced to finding new and creative ways to keep his name, his brand, alive so that gravy train...

When Islam appropriates and perverts the central figures of two faiths, Judaism and Christianity, Jews and Christians are supposed to feel good about it, and see it as an opportunity for “reconciliation” with Islam. Not only does Islam claim Abraham, Moses, and Jesus; it apparently claims post-biblical figures, such as Saint George, as well. So states a recent article on My London, the real point of which is apparently to assert Christian and Muslim “commonalities.” Thus, “on St George’s Day, which in Eastern Christianity is marked on May 6, Muslims in the area [of Nazareth] join Christians in their venerations...

The twitterverse is all abuzz over a #1 trending hashtag, #PoopypantsBiden, so at the risk of soiling my very soul, I perused Twitter's website to see why. The story starts with our president meeting the pope at the Vatican, presumably to discuss Jesus's thoughts about climate change and whether one can claim to be a good Catholic while facilitating the dismemberment of unborn babies. Three things stood out about the meeting. One is that the Vatican canned the traditional live footage of the event, instead providing only still shots and small snippets of conversation between the two pale, frail old...

[H/T Ymani Cricket]11 sworn declarations from physicians across the country reflect the disregard public health agencies have for Covid-19 vaccine safetyOne act of bravery begins to snowball. Dr. Patricia Lee “risked it all” to step forward, after being ignored by public health officials, to reveal the serious series of harms she witnessed from Covid-19 vaccines in her intensive care unit. With that one act, my firm has now been contacted by more than a dozen other physicians. Attached are 11 declarations from physicians across the country attesting to serious harms from Covid-19 vaccines.

Have you ever wondered how American schools went from bastions of academic learning to centers where pornography is daily fare and boys wearing nail polish and skirts can legally roam through girls' restrooms and showers, raping and groping as they go? Origins of Radical Sex EducationThe origins of radical sex education date back nearly a century to a Marxist program implemented in Hungarian public schools in their quest to destroy Christianity in Western Europe. The curriculum included sex lectures and graphic instructional materials about free love and sexual intercourse. Students were encouraged to ridicule and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy,...

I must admit it. I must come clean. I try turning myself over to the better angels of my nature, but I don’t know if they will have any luck, because I am 100%, prime time, on board the “Let’s Go Brandon!” bandwagon. Stop and think—ridicule is a potent weapon against one’s adversaries. Everyone hates to be laughed at; humiliation is one of the more common and universally effective ways to isolate someone or, alternatively, to persuade them to change their behavior. For some, the simple act of wearing a t-shirt with “Let’s Go Brandon!” emblazoned on it is a...

Quercetin has been in the news lately, particularly as one of many potential therapeutics that might have some benefit in the prevention or treatment of COVID infection. Is there anything to this? Big media and the medical establishment are quick to pounce on any “unapproved” potential therapeutics that haven’t gone through large prospective randomized clinical trials and don’t have the seal of FDA approval. Even FDA approval is not enough if the medications are being used off-label as in the case of hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. Decades ago, both were deemed safe and effective by the FDA and approved for human...
