Recently, the entitled, affluent, white residents on Martha's Island narrowly avoided a disaster of epic proportions. Apparently, 50 (that's f-i-f-t-y) illegal aliens were FedExed by Governor DeSantis to the enclave of the rich and famous. Panic and a mass meltdown ensued. Prior to their unwelcome arrival on the island, the Emergency Alert System (ELS) was initiated to warn residents of the impending invasion. Doors were locked, windows shuttered and beloved pets were rushed to safety. Terrified residents immediately fled to the safety of their panic rooms where they were forced to eat caviar on stale Ritz crackers and drink tap...

I was educated in the school district ranked by Niche.com as America’s third-best. Immigrants from around the world come to Great Neck, N.Y., to raise their children. My best friend’s father was at the Tiananmen Square massacre. My classmates left behind their families in El Salvador. My mother escaped revolutionary Iran, and my grandfather escaped the Nazis. Lately, though, the area’s diverse and liberal-minded residents may have reason to think their local school officials aren’t as open-minded as they thought. In 2021 Great Neck North High School directed the student government to give $375 of student funds to a “racial...

I know this is a contentious issue for many, yet the fact that the United States did not exist prior to a certain date, is really hard to ignore. On the Tuesday broadcast, toward the end of the second hour, Clay said the following: I've always been fascisnated, Buck, by the reparations argument in the United States in particular, because you know slavery was only legal in the United States for 80 years. A lot of people never actually do the math on it. United States was a country from 1783 until 1863 that allowed slavery to be permitted as...

NBC News deleted a tweet containing a quote that compared migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard to "trash" in an attempt to criticize Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The quote came from Max Lefeld, a Venezuelan-American and immigrant activist. “It’s like me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there," he said. Ironically, Lefeld is also a founding member of the Casa Venezuela Dallas foundation, a charity that helps refugees. NBC posted the quote in a tweet with a link to its article, but deleted the tweet after receiving criticism online....

After failing to secure Republican support to alter Delaware's Constitution to enshrine mail-in voting rights, Democrat lawmakers in the state passed a bill on June 22 enabling registered voters to request a mail-in ballot before the election without an excuse. It was signed into law by Democrat Gov. John Carney on July 22. On Wednesday, Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook of the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled SB 320 unconstitutional. Although in the November general election, those who cannot make it to the polls can still request an absentee ballot and same-day registration is still allowed, mail-in voting will be prohibited.The...

In Part 1 of this interview (click here), Vera Sharav and Scott Schara draw parallels between the Nazi Holocaust and the Covid debacle. In both situations, government demonized humans, forced experimental medicines on them, and carried out genocidal aims through medical protocols. We continue the discussion with Part 2, when Vera Sharav and Scott Schara emphasize the importance of personal responsibility on the part of individuals to break away from the groupthink that established the tyranny of the Nazi regime and today allows government to strip away liberties in the name of keeping everyone “safe.” Scott Schara serves as...

A team of psychological researchers from Australia is delving into the mindset of those who refuse to buy the notion that man-made climate change is quickly creating an unlivable, barren wasteland on Earth. Researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast looked to explain why such “cranks” continue to deny what they call “the reality of climate change, its causes, impacts and the need for mitigatory action.”The study’s authors — Breanna Fraser, Patrick Nunn, and Rachael Sharman — set out to discover why climate change skeptics think the way they do, beyond what they call “sociodemographic and value factors.” Instead,...

On Sept. 16, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit handed down a long-awaited ruling in NetChoice v. Paxton, upholding the constitutionality of a Texas law that greatly restricts the ability of large social media platforms to moderate content and imposes certain transparency requirements. NetChoice, a trade association, challenged the legislation on First Amendment grounds. The Fifth Circuit had previously stayed a preliminary injunction against the law issued by a district court, only for the Supreme Court to vacate the stay. In its ruling today finding the legislation constitutional, the appeals court found a key provision limiting content...

A powerful, historic storm continued battering a huge swath of the Western Alaska coastline on Saturday, with reports of flooding, wind damage and power outages. The extent of flooding and damage wasn’t immediately clear but social media posts reported flooding in multiple communities. As the system approached Alaska late Friday and into early Saturday, roaring south-to-southwesterly winds battered the state’s western coast. Through Saturday morning, widespread gusts had reached 45 to 77 mph, according to the National Weather Service. In Hooper Bay, with a population of over 1,000 people, some families were reportedly evacuating and social media posts showed water...

Germany’s public broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, has revised its code of conduct to require support for Israel’s right to exist, and employees who fail to do so may now be fired. The move announced Sept. 1 preceded a court order last week that DW reinstate a former employee fired who was fired after the company determined she had made comments about Israel that could be construed as antisemitic. In all, seven employees from the broadcaster’s Arabic service were let go last year on similar grounds, and so far two have successfully sued DW for reinstatement. The revised conduct code appears to...

MARION COUNTY, Fla. – An Ocala woman was arrested Friday morning after stabbing two people she shared a home with, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. At approximately 8:03 a.m., deputies responded to a home in Ocala after receiving a 911 call from a caller who said they’d been stabbed, a release from the sheriff’s office shows. Upon arrival, deputies found that two people had been stabbed, and one told deputies that 30-year-old Christina Adams was responsible, the release says. Deputies said they were able to find Adams driving not far from the home. After being detained and interviewed...

Robert Keith Packer’s sister asked people not to judge him by his cover, a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt. A prosecutor said he was wearing a Nazi SS T-shirt underneath. The revelation of what Packer, a 57-year-old Virginia pipefitter, was wearing on Jan. 6, 2021, came Thursday when a federal judge sentenced him to 75 days for his role in the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol. The sweatshirt, which became a symbol of the rioters’ ties to white supremacist movements, was “incredibly offensive,” U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols said before handing down the sentence. “It seems to me that he wore...

The search warrant that named Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington last year was carried out this week related to a corruption investigation in Los Angeles, California. Why it matters: The move comes ahead of his nomination process to lead the Federal Aviation Administration after President Biden tapped him in July. Driving the news: The warrant aims to unearth information about possible favoritism in how Los Angeles' Metropolitan Transportation Authority — which Washington headed for six years — awarded contracts. A copy of the warrant, published on the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department website, reveals the agency has asked for...

A man in Brevard County, Florida, was arrested earlier this month after being accused of "intentionally" starving his dogs, Katie and Darcy. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in a press conference that the man, Joseph Farkas, drank liquid detergent when police arrived in an attempt to "avoid jail," but the plot was unsuccessful. He was arrested and charged with two counts of felony animal cruelty and two counts of unlawful confinement. According to the Law Office of Roger P. Foley, a Florida-based law firm, there are "two types of animal cruelty" in Florida—misdemeanor and felony animal cruelty. "The main...

This ruling by the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit sets up the potential for the Supreme Court to rule on the law, which could be a major setback for the "Big Tech" industry as many conservatives and others with right-leaning opinions accuse companies such as Meta and Twitter of political censorship.A Texas law preventing large social media platforms from banning or censoring users based on their political viewpoints will go into effect after a federal appeals court lifted a block placed on the statute on Friday, reported Reuters. This ruling by the Court of Appeals for the Fifth...

MARTHA'S VINEYARD — The nation is inspired after the tender and progressive residents of Martha's Vineyard greeted 50 immigrants with open arms and lovingly welcomed them to go somewhere else. "Here in the white, affluent island of Martha's Vineyard, we care about the poors, the immigrants, and the refugees," said local homeowner Karen Whiteface. "That's why we as a community banded together, and reached out in compassion to tell these brown people to get on the bus where they would be taken to an army base." Several media outlets were on the scene as migrants were caringly herded back onto...

President Joe Biden will campaign in Florida later this month as he continues criticizing Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R), who is running for reelection. The White House confirmed that Biden will attend a rally for the Democrat National Committee in Orlando, Florida, on September 27.

(No search results) “Royal family snub President Trump during UK visit: Prince Charles and Prince William were unwilling to meet Donald Trump on his visit to Britain, leaving the Queen to greet the US president alone.” (London Times, July 18, 2018.) Well, what could be more fitting than British royals snubbing the upstart leader of an upstart former British colony—and one who was elected by “deplorables” to boot? On the other hand, then-Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla not only rank as the first British Royals to grace Bolshevik Cuba with a visit—but back in March 2019 (aping President Obama three...

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), predicted Friday that Republicans will have a “minimum” two-seat pickup in the Senate, taking them from 50 to at least 52. In a memo to NRSC donors, Scott said Republicans will defeat the radical Democrats in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania because of his strategy to spend early money in the races, thus “defining” Democrats early and impacting the media’s polling:

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2021 shows that, on average, Americans spent $16,729 to support the government. This topped the $15,495 they spent on food, clothing and health care combined. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen insisted that “when you consider all the government does for people they should be happy it costs so little. Without the government people would be set adrift with no sense of meaning. The pointlessness of life for the average person is rescued by the government’s provision of structure and purpose. The selfishness of personal ambition and self gratification is replaced by...
