Does Nina Jankowicz believe that a presidency dependent on disinformation, with a dependent as president, makes the world safe for democracy? Editor’s note: Soon after this article was filed, the Washington Post reported the White House would put the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board “on pause” and that the board’s executive director, Nina Jankowicz, had tendered her resignation Wednesday morning. Although the Post story portrays Jankowicz as the victim of a coordinated attack from the Right, there was plenty about her that the public needed to know, which the press seemed reluctant to investigate, much less share. Here...

eady for your kid to be charged with sexual harassment for refusing to say "xir" or "zhim"? All rights, including freedom of religion, stem from freedom of speech. Without free speech, we have nothing. Zero. In complete disregard for this basic American value, free speech is regarded by the left as an outdated concept. Mark Steyn, author of America Alone, observed that we are turning into "one vast college campus," where there is one correct view and all others are prohibited. On such a "campus," there is no room for free speech. The latest manifestation of the left's distorted vision...

"I'm hit" were the last words the FBI heard from Agent Ronald Williams. On June 26, 1975, just before noon, FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams, in separate vehicles, were searching for a fugitive, Jimmy Eagle. The agents followed a suspect suburban containing three individuals from a rural highway onto a dirt road leading to the Jumping Bull family farm in a remote corner of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The suburban stopped at a distance, as did the agents, who were now exposed in an open field. The beginning The unprovoked attack and what followed...

A Democrat witness testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on abortion rights Thursday declared that men can get pregnant and have abortions. Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of the abortion rights nonprofit Avow Texas, was asked by Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., to define what "a woman is," to which she responded, "I believe that everyone can identify for themselves." "Do you believe that men can become pregnant and have abortions?" Bishop asked. "Yes," Arrambide replied. The remarks from Arrambide followed a tense exchange between Bishop and Dr. Yashica Robinson, another Democrat witness, after he similarly asked her to define "woman."

Anti-liberty leftists are always projecting their true national agenda, and they are currently doing it at full volume. Do you find it extraordinarily odd that one extremist side of the political spectrum has been driven to distraction with one topic of discussion? Has everyone taken notice that just one far end of the spectrum can't stop its fixation with this subject matter? These are some of the more disturbing examples that show the anti-liberty left has lost the plot: -We Can Replace Them (New York Times) -'Replacement' conspiracies driving gunmen creep into mainstream politics (CNN) -Buffalo shooting pushes 'great replacement...

The House passed a resolution on Wednesday condemning the rise of antisemitism in a nearly unanimous vote, with one Republican lawmaker objecting to the measure. The resolution passed 420-1, with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) representing the only vote against it. Eight other Republicans did not vote. The Hill reached out to Massie for comment on his vote. The resolution calls on elected officials, faith leaders and leaders in civil society to use their positions of authority “to condemn and combat any and all manifestations of antisemitism.” The measure also urges individuals to denounce denials or distortions of the Holocaust, and...

Nearly a dozen incumbent lawmakers lost their re-election bids in Tuesday’s primary election including one, possibly two, long-time Republicans who hold top caucus leadership posts. Rep. Stan Saylor of York County and Sen. Pat Browne of Lehigh County, both Republicans, serve as the majority chairman of the powerful appropriations committee in their respective chambers. In those roles, they review all legislation to determine its fiscal impact on taxpayers and play a role in helping to shape the state budget. Saylor, who was first elected to the House in 1992, has served as the appropriations committee chairman since 2016. Prior to...

TOPEKA (KSNT) – The Kansas Supreme Court announced this morning its decisions in cases that involve state and congressional reapportioned districts around 10:30 a.m. In a decision on Wednesday by the Kansas Supreme Court, the redrawn redistricting maps are upheld as constitutional. The state Supreme Court declined to declare that overly partisan gerrymandering violates the Kansas Constitution. The ruling sets district boundaries less than a month before the state’s June 10 filing deadline for congressional candidates. The state’s Republican-appointed solicitor general argued in defending the GOP-drawn map that because the state constitution doesn’t specifically mention gerrymandering or congressional redistricting, the...

America has truly reached Soviet levels of mass delusion and absurdity. The official lines on the most important subjects of the day are not just inconsistent with reality, they are the complete inversion of it. Last week, NPR published an article titled, “Has Tucker Carlson created the most racist show in the history of cable news?” The article is not your everyday propaganda piece; it is almost humorous in its mendacity. Tucker Carlson diligently avoids anything that can be intrepreted as "racist." He repeatedly denounces racism on his show and repeatedly affirms that he judges individuals as individuals, by their...

YORK COUNTY, Pa. — Two multi-decade Republican lawmakers in York County will not be up for re-election in the fall, after losing their primary races to challengers. In Windsor Township, Wendy Fink beat State Rep. Stan Saylor (R-York), who has been in office nearly 30 years. In Hellam Township, Joe D’Orsie beat State Rep. Keith Gillespie (R-York), who has been in office nearly 20 years. “Something happens after a couple of decades after you're in political office. After talking to people, I think the fact that I am a rookie kind of appeals to them,” D’Orsie said while making campaign...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 3The Fall 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 4 “You will not certainly die,” the...

Why there is a baby formula crisis and what can be done about it Herb Scribner Axios on linkedin Axios on email Empty shelves for baby formula.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little won the Republican Party’s nomination for a second term on Tuesday, easily outpacing a conservative challenger who had former President Trump’s support. But Little’s allies in the state legislature were far less fortunate, as a conservative wave fueled by anger at the outcome of the 2020 elections and Little’s own effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic crashed over what is already one of the most ruby-red states in America. Twenty incumbent state legislators either lost their seats or lost races to move from the House to the Senate on Tuesday. Among them: state...

LONDON (Reuters) - Heavy falls in European and Asian stock markets followed Wall Street’s worst day since mid-2020 on Thursday, as stark warnings from some of the world’s biggest retailers underscored just how hard inflation is biting. Bond markets rallied in the dive for safety and on bets that interest rate rises may get recalibrated, but it was the gloom striking down equities after Wednesday’s $25 billion wipeout in U.S. retailer Target’s shares that dominated the action. “Target and Walmart coming out with disappointing numbers has really, really spooked people,” said Close Brothers Asset Management’s Chief Investment Officer Robert Alster....

The Jewish Federation of New Mexico descended into dysfunction over the past 15 months with staff departures, board member resignations, lawsuits and complaints of volatility lodged against its executive director. Now, the organization's executive director, Rob Lennick, says he is moving on — an impending change that some say gives the Albuquerque-based federation a chance to begin anew. Whether that will happen, however, is far from clear because the problems, many say, run deep. Documents from three lawsuits and two investigations, and interviews with people involved show some staffers have complained Lennick was intimidating and, at times, hostile. And some...

Former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves Tuesday warned that regular UFO sightings are endangering the lives of military aviators, described the shape of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) seen by members of his squadron and said the mysterious objects must be treated "like a foreign adversary." Graves made the comments outside a House Intelligence subcommittee hearing Tuesday on UAP, the first of its kind examining mysterious flying objects since the 1960s. Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray and Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie briefed lawmakers on the increasingly frequent sightings. The Pentagon officials said not...

There is an ongoing, vicious effort by a maniacal dictator to rewrite the map of Europe. Some American voices are saying "stay out – what happens there doesn’t matter to us." It all sounds too familiar. The last time this happened, it led to World War II. This time, the brave people of Ukraine and their incredible military are more than holding their own against Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to destroy Ukraine as an independent, sovereign democratic nation. The brutal invasion of Russia has devastated the Ukrainian economy, and Ukraine is unable to continue this fight without military aid....

Car-buyers say they received temporary tags that ultimately expired ABERDEEN, Md. — A Harford County man bought a car online from Carvana, but the sweet deal turned sour when he couldn't get the car registered in Maryland. A tow truck repossessed Jo Riedel's SUV. He expected it to happen after he told the car dealer, "I'm not going to make any more payments on this vehicle." Riedel, of Aberdeen, said he couldn't legally drive his 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander because it was never properly registered. "It's been a full year of just needless headache and feeling of being ripped off and...
