Elinor Remick Warren hummed her first bit of a tune at 13 months of age and only two months later could hum the whole song. At three years of age she composed her first song. A great combination of family and freedom in Teddy Roosevelt's America is the key to this child prodigy story. She grew to be a beautiful woman (click on the red link below the above title to see the proof) and successful classical musician, primarily as a composer, but also as a pianist. God Bless America and the Freedom which defines the nation. And let us...

The New York Times announced Monday that it won a George Polk Award for its "news report" about Hasidic Yeshivas, which was exposed to have been part of a political operation targeting the religious group, through an investigation published by Breitbart.The Times bragged on its website how its report that "exposed how private schools in New York's Hasidic Jewish community were failing to provide students with an adequate education, despite receiving more than a quarter of a billion dollars in public funds annually," was given the once-prestigious award.However, the Times story -- alleging Hasidic students "[know] nothing" and grow up...

Al Gore has told the U.N. climate conference that new data suggests the Arctic polar ice cap may disappear in the summertime as soon as five to seven years from now. Clicking through a slide show Monday in a packed side event, the former U.S. vice-president joined the foreign ministers of Norway and Denmark in presenting two new reports on melting Arctic ice. The Arctic Ocean sea ice has shrunk dramatically, to record low levels, the past several summers. Scientists blame global warming, which has raised temperatures twice as fast in the far north as elsewhere. Gore said polar scientists...

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might have shown his hand regarding a potential run for president next year. DeSantis has been mum about seeking the Republican Party nomination. Thus far, only two candidates have entered the race with former President Donald Trump. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was joined in the primary by anti-woke tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday. DeSantis is widely considered a contender despite the fact that he has not announced any intention to run. Trump has preemptively taken on the Florida governor at rallies and in posts on Truth Social. He has also given his...

A slew of city-wide vaccine mandates announced in 2021 across parts of the U.S. made virtually no difference in stopping the spread of COVID-19, newly released research found. “These mandates imposed severe restrictions on the lives of many citizens and business owners,” the study, conducted through George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, says. “Yet, we find no evidence that the mandates were effective in their intended goals of reducing COVID-19 cases and deaths.” The researchers evaluated Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C. “We find no evidence that the announcement or implementation of...

When a wealthy banker throws his wife's expensive fur coat off a roof and it lands on the head of a stenographer, everyone assumes she is his mistress and has access to his millions.

It’s the gender transition version of “you break it, you bought it.” Florida Republicans and Gov. Ron DeSantis have made a national name for themselves by standing up to progressive incursions into American life — from critical race theory and sexual dysfunction in schools to Big Tech’s unauthorized surveillance. Now, under a bill introduced for the upcoming legislative session, the state would be going on offense on one front in the cultural wars, taking the fight directly to companies’ bottom lines. The “Reverse Woke Act” (SB 952) was introduced Monday by state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, aiming at making companies that...

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Former President Donald Trump told residents of East Palestine on Wednesday that “We’re like a third-world nation” with Pete Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary. “We’re like a third-world nation, and this is an example of it, the breakdown. Our whole country is breaking down,” Trump said while hanging out with residents of East Palestine in a McDonald’s on Wednesday. The former president also stated that Buttigieg, who has yet to even step foot in East Palestine, “should have been here a long time ago.” After being asked to respond to Buttigieg blaming him for the train derailment...

Since U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf began his second tenure as the agency’s head in February 2022, he has made combating “misinformation” one of his top priorities, arguing it is “a leading cause of preventable death in America now” — though “this cannot be proved,” he said. In an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press (AP), Califf, who also headed the FDA between 2016 and 2017, reiterated his pledge to “save lives” by policing online content. One year into his second tenure as FDA commissioner — and despite waning public trust in the FDA —...

A new drug that is making its way across America is literally rotting the skin of users. Xylazine, which has been approved for veterinary use but not for use in humans, acts as a sedative and is a non-opioid drug that does not respond to Narcon. The drug, which is rotting the skin of drug users, is currently most prevalent in major Democrat-controlled cities is also referred to as “tranq dope.” The zombie drug is most prevalent currently most prevalent in Democrat-controlled major cities like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, San Fransisco, and Los Angeles, where Dr. Gary Tsai, the director...

A teen contestant on Wheel of Fortune left audience members shocked after she answered G to fill in 'Fre_h Tropical Fruit.' On Monday night's show, Khushi Talluru, of Colorado Springs, froze at the worst possible moment and unfortunately offered the wrong letter to answer a seemingly easy puzzle - or so the audience thought. After correctly guessing the letter H at the end of the word, host Pat Sajak urged the teen to 'solve it or spin, but do something quickly.' The Pine Creek High School student seemed hesitant and bought herself a few extra seconds by spinning the wheel....

CNN should have taken this golden opportunity to shed one of its most embarrassing actsAs for promoting policies that actually harm women — for example, encouraging confused men to parade around in women’s clothes, compete on sports teams against women, and even mutilate themselves in a vain attempt to become women — well, such insane policies have the bad housekeeping seal of woke approval. So they are firing on all cylinders in politically correct redoubts like CNN.So Licht welcomed Lemón back from his little timeout. This morning, Lemón issued one of the those grating mock apologies that minor celebrities emit...

A fire at a uranium processing facility in the Y-12 National Security Complex led to the evacuation of hundreds of workers on the morning of Feb. 22, but officials said the fire was quickly contained and no radioactive material was released. The fire at the Y-12 in Oak Ridge, a highly secure facility where experts manufacture parts for America's nuclear weapons and provide enriched uranium to the U.S. Navy, started around 9:15 a.m. in a uranium processing area in building 9212, Y-12 communications manager Taz Painter told Knox News. Hours after the fire, officials said all evacuated workers were accounted...

Britain’s elite cultural institutions – the BBC, universities, the national trust – are dominated by the woke. Since smart people tend to get ahead in life, you might assume the woke would have higher intelligence. Not so, according to a new study. Louise Drieghe and colleagues surveyed 300 North Americans adults using the platform Mechanical Turk. To measure participants’ cognitive ability, they administered the Ammons Quick Test, which involves correctly assigning words to pictures. Previous studies have shown that people’s scores on the test correlate strongly with their scores on more comprehensive IQ tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence...

Tesla is moving its global engineering headquarters to the former Hewlett Packard campus in Palo Alto, it announced during a press conference with CEO Elon Musk and Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday. The video in the media player above is not related to the current story. The ABC7 News Bay Area 24/7 streaming channel allows you to see news throughout the day. "I couldn't be more proud of California's commitment to support Tesla over the course of the last few decades. It's demonstrable in terms of policy, in terms of direction, more broadly. An interesting regulation, dare I say, for...

Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: “how do I get this out of my body.” The mRNA and adenoviral DNA products were rolled out with no idea on how or when the body would ever breakdown the genetic code. The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period. This would be an advantage for a normal human protein being replaced...

Gisele Bündchen, 42, is campier than ever on the cover of Vogue Italia’s March issue — so much so that some fans think her high-fashion look is verging on drag. On the Brazilian’s first Vogue cover since her high-profile divorce from oft-retired Tom Brady, Bündchen rocks a blood-red über-short ’do with matching ultra-thin red eyebrows, along with dark, graphic eye makeup and a red silk Valentino dress. But the picture made Instagram users do a double take, as Bündchen fans think she looks similar to “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 5 winner — and Broadway’s latest “Chicago” star — Jinkx Monsoon,...

A rare Blizzard Warning has been issued for parts of Southern California as the next storm system is expected to crash ashore on Thursday. According to the FOX Forecast Center, this is the first such warning for the mountains of Los Angeles and Ventura counties since 1989. The forecast calls for upwards of 5 feet of snow and wind gusts of more than 55 mph in the warned area. “Your eyes are not deceiving you, said FOX Weather meteorologist Britta Merwin. “All the way down in Southern California, that orange box is a Blizzard Warning that’s in effect for Friday...

Howard Stern joked that CNN managed to quickly “cure” Don Lemon of his sexist views as the scandal-ridden anchor returned to the network Wednesday after a three-day absence. The shock jock made reference to the “formal training” that Lemon has reportedly agreed to undertake after he triggered outrage by declaring GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, “isn’t in her prime” because she’s a woman. “They took Don Lemon, they suspended him for a day and they sent him right into sensitivity training and then he came back the next day, he was all cured,” Stern said on Wednesday’s episode of...
