Americans should end it now before it ends America first. Almost everything that has followed from the woke mass hysteria gripping the nation since 2020 has proved disastrous. Wokeism destroys meritocracy in favor of forced equality of result—history’s prescription for civilizational decline. If we continue with the woke hiring of administrators, air traffic controllers, ground crews, pilots, and rail workers, there will be even more news of disasters and near-miss airline crashes. Wokeness demands a McCarthyite suppression of free expression. No wonder a woke FBI recently hired out social media censors to suppress stories it deemed unhelpful. Soviet-style, wokeism mandates...

The good news is that the market share of EVs in California rose 17 percent in 2022. Looking past those glowing numbers, however, hides an unfortunate reality some may not want to talk about: EVs are still too expensive, and a lot of buyers in the state can’t afford housing, let alone an electric car. The good news is that there’s help; The Sacramento Bee reports The Golden State will give low-income residents up to $27,000 for help purchasing an EV.

Suddenly, everywhere you look, the Jews are disappearing.You feel it like a slow moving pressure system, an anxiety of exclusion and downward mobility. Maybe you first noticed it at your workplace. Or maybe it hit when you or your children applied to college or graduate school. It could have been something as simple as opening up the Netflix splash page. It’s gauche to count but you can’t help yourself: In academia, Hollywood, Washington, even in New York City—anywhere American Jews once made their mark—our influence is in steep decline.For many Jews, the first instinct is to look inward: We blame...

Biden laughs at Marjorie Taylor Greene pinning 2020 fentanyl deaths of two brothers on him President Biden chuckled Wednesday night while knocking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for falsely blaming him for the 2020 deaths of two Michigan brothers — whose mother emotionally slammed the federal response to surging fentanyl deaths. “A little bit of more of Marjorie Taylor Greene and a few more, you’re gonna have a lot of Republicans running our way. Isn’t she amazing? Whew,” Biden told a gathering of House Democrats in Baltimore of the Georgia Republican. “I was the reason, she was very specific, I shouldn’t...

The Constitution did not establish the Deep State. Instead, it creates a very slimmed-down government: A legislature, an executive office, and a judiciary. Given the British bureaucracy's corruption in the 18th century, the Founders wanted to avoid that situation in America. Now, though, 230 years later, we’ve exceeded the 18th-century British bureaucracy in size and scope and added ideological corruption, which is probably even worse than the financial greed the British showed. However, there is a way out of this situation, and Ron DeSantis made the case for it on Sunday when he appeared on Life, Liberty & Levin. Early...

Who wants a third world war? Would anyone risk, would anyone be willing accept that risk? The U.S. is never going to give up on the NATO member states. If it happens though that Ukraine due to various opinions and weakening and depleting of assistance loses, Russia is going to enter Baltic states, NATO member states, and then the U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending [their - may be translation error] sons and daughters to war, and they will have to fight, because it is NATO we are talking...

South of the border, down Mexico (and Guatemala) way. What a mess in Washington DC. While House Republicans are at lagerheads with Senate Democrats and Resident Biden over Federal spending cuts, the price of insuring against a debt default just rose to 76.75. How bad it that? Put it this way. Millions are fleeing Mexico and Guatemala and coming to the US. But Mexico has a lower cost of insuring against a debt default than the USA. And Guatemala is almost as expensive as the USA. It will all be over soon, according to CDS prices. Maybe the USA needs...

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie predicted Donald Trump will be indicted in at least one of the several investigations he faces ahead of the 2024 presidential campaign. In an interview with Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday, Christie said he didn’t think Trump’s legal team would be able to dismiss the Georgia case over the grand jury foreperson’s conduct. But he said “I still have a hard time believing” Trump will be indicted for attempting to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger into finding enough votes to swing the state in his favor during the 2020 election: This is a...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMark 8The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and...

Peter Pan has been given a 'woke' makeover with the famous Lost Boys updated to include girls, too. Disney released a trailer for its latest live-action remake Peter Pan & Wendy but there were a few crucial changes to the plot from the original 1904 play by J.M. Barrie. In one shot, a group of children can be seen gathering around as they introduce themselves as 'lost boys,' as a little girl adds 'every last one of us.' A surprised Wendy remarks 'but you're not all boys!' to which one replies 'So?' Critics were quick to slam the change, with...

A conflict over what it means to be Christian is forcing a school in Kansas City, Missouri, to close. Urban Christian Academy is a private, K-8 school with an enrollment of 100 that describes itself as providing "a tuition-free, high-quality, Christ-centered education for low-income students." The school’s mission statement has always stressed inclusivity in general terms, noting that following Jesus "opens up doors and makes room at the table." But last year it added a paragraph to its website, which read in part, "We are an affirming school. We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community and believe in their holiness. We...

Criminal damaging: Beta Drive A Florida man, 30, stopped at the Holiday Inn Feb. 26 requesting to use their electric charger for his vehicle, which needed charging while on a road trip. He was told it was only for guests of the hotel, but he proceeded to break the lock on the charging station and began to charge his vehicle. He quickly left the area when employees went to confront him, but his plate number was obtained and led to his identification. Theft and criminal damaging charges are pending.

In his deeply moving autobiography, "Up From Slavery," Booker T. Washington, who was born in 1856 to an enslaved family on a Virginia plantation, describes the first shred of education he acquired. He was 9 years old when the Civil War ended and, like every other enslaved child, had been deliberately kept illiterate and innumerate. With the arrival of freedom, Washington's family journeyed to West Virginia, where his stepfather arranged a job for him in a salt-furnace. It was there that his education began. "The first thing I ever learned in the way of book knowledge was while working in...
