Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Saturday’s shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and 25 injured is what right-wing rhetoric, like that from Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), brings. Goldberg said, “It’s breaking my heart that we’re starting once again with this kind of topic. The latest mass shooting in America was Saturday night in Colorado at an LGBTQ+ nightclub where five people were killed and at least 25 were injured. No motive has been released, but Glaad and all the activists are pointing their fingers at the rise in...

Schiff's repeated witch hunts and abuse of his position as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee were cited as reasons for removal.

It is one of the most replayed moments in the history of presidential debates. Standing on a stage in Kansas City in October 1984, President Ronald Reagan was asked the question that was on most everyone's mind. He was the oldest president ever, and had been described as being "very tired" after an earlier debate. Did he have any questions in his mind about his ability to function if deprived of sleep during a national security crisis? Reagan, 73 at the time, said, "Not at all." And, after scowling for a moment, he submitted to a flicker of a smile...

Head of Apple’s App Store, Phil Schiller, has deleted his Twitter account

"Democracy™ is on the ballot,” went the incessant, mindless talking point, over and over, pushed by glassy-eyed Democrat Party surrogates this election cycle. And they’re going to recycle that talking point for as long as possible, because that’s all they’ve got. The benefit of promoting Democracy™ as the central selling point to elect Democrats is that the term is amorphous. The vast majority of targeted voters who hear about the importance of Democracy™ won’t ever really think critically about what it entails or, more importantly, whether it actually exists. Sad to say, it doesn’t. Democracy™ in America in 2022 is...

The Slavic crone, known for living in a house built on chicken legs and feasting on children, is a complex, and arguably feminist, figure – as a new book shows, says David Barnett. I In fairy tales, women of a certain age usually take one of two roles: the wicked witch or the evil stepmother, and sometimes both. A key figure from Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga certainly fulfils the requirements of the wicked witch – she lives in a house that walks through the forest on chicken legs, and sometimes flies around in a giant mortar and pestle. She usually...
