A “woke” teacher in New York allegedly “manipulated” a 5th grade girl into changing her gender without her parents’ knowledge or consent and caused her “suicidal ideation,” according to a lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that teacher Debra Rosenquist at the Terryville Road Elementary School in Terryville, New York, singled out then-9-year-old “A.V.” throughout the 2021-2022 school year. Allegedly, Rosenquist “forced” the young girl to go by male pronouns and a male name (“Leo”), the girl's parents allege. This went on for some time before A.V.’s parents were made aware.

Former President Donald Trump on Friday announced a plan for a prospective second term through which the U.S. would develop new cities and bolster living standards nationwide. "Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living," he declared in a policy video. "Almost one-third of the landmass of the United States is owned by the federal government," he said. "With just a fraction of that land... we should hold a contest to charter up to ten new cities and award them to the best proposals for development." "These freedom cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American...

An unhinged assailant randomly whacked a straphanger with a piece of metal in a Lower Manhattan subway station this week, authorities said. The 52-year-old victim was on the stairwell at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station around 6:20 a.m. Wednesday when the stranger approached him and struck him in the head with the metal slab, cops said.

Thursday several crypto firms made statements meant to distance themselves from crypto-friendly bank Silvergate, which saw shares free fall on Thursday after the company delayed its annual report and said it would report further losses. Coinbase, Paxos, Galaxy Digital, Gemini, BitStamp, Crypto.com and Circle each issued statements saying they have cut ties with a once crucial partner linking them to the traditional bank system. MicroStrategy has also addressed concerns for its Silvergate loan in the event the bank faces insolvency. This distancing from the crypto industry adds another business challenge for Silvergate, which gave notice late Wednesday it won't meet...

There are few things that unite Canadians these days – even hockey is seen as “too white” by the woke left – but disliking the Liberals seems to be a growing national pastime. With the eruption of Trudeau’s China election interference scandal, we are seeing something that never seemed possible. Even the Globe and Mail, which for context for international readers is like The Washington Post to the Democrats, has turned on the Liberal party in the wake of this scandal — a scandal that is being called “the biggest political scandal in Canadian history.” If the reader is unaware,...

According to Jacksonville 4 News Governor Ron DeSantis spent last weekend “huddled behind closed doors at a south Florida luxury hotel for a “Freedom Blueprint” retreat with more than 100 donors, elected officials and conservative influencers.” According to the report from those present, “Laura Ingraham hosted a fireside chat with DeSantis on Sunday.” You would think this ongoing network and relationship would need a mention, perhaps even a disclaimer, if the Fox News pundit was going to follow up with additional promotion of the same candidate. Alas, as more people become familiar with the tactics of the professionally Republican, what...

General Michael Flynn is a retired United States Army lieutenant general who was the 24th U.S. National Security Advisor for the first 22 days of the Trump administration. General Flynn, a staunch Trump ally and confidante, was forced to resign in 2017 following screaming reports that he had lied regarding conversations with Sergey Kislyak, a Russian diplomat. This was while the Democrat Party and highest levels of US intelligence concocted an attempted coup to take down the sitting President based on what they knew was fraudulent accusations that Trump was Vladimir Putin’s stooge. General Michael Flynn was collateral damage. They...

Not only are Joe Biden’s policies destroying America, the entire world is laughing at us.

This is a classic song done by Count Vlad in his ubiquitous way. Check out how Vlad sings the second verse. The guitar solos have a variety of styles, but the riotous line is in the second verse on the word "BABY." I laugh every time I hear it. If you like the music please subscribe.

Researchers found [a] test can predict whether a bowel cancer patient will benefit from chemotherapy. It is thought that this could spare patients who will not benefit from treatment from unnecessary toxicity and debilitating side effects. The genetic test is already used as part of standard of care in the UK and worldwide to predict patients' responses to other targeted cancer drugs, meaning doctors could apply it to guide chemotherapy straight away. In bowel cancer, responses to last-line chemotherapy treatment trifluridine/tipiracil vary greatly between patients—with some patients showing good, long-term responses, and others seeing no benefits. The researchers found that...

A skin lesion removed from President Joe Biden’s chest last month was a basal cell carcinoma — a common form of skin cancer — his doctor said Friday, adding that no further treatment was required. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House doctor who has served as Biden’s longtime physician, said “all cancerous tissue was successfully removed” during the president’s routine physical on Feb. 16.

The committee quickly tabled H.B. 484 by Rep. Bill Rehm (R-Albuquerqu), which would have amended multiple sections of the Motor Vehicle Code to prevent driving with cannabis or controlled substances or metabolites in the blood. This would be in addition to alcohol blood concentrations. It quickly died on a 4-2 tabling vote, with Republican Reps.

As the state prepares to build a network of electric vehicle charging stations across Georgia, the General Assembly is grappling with how they should be operated and how to tax the electricity they sell to EV owners. Separate bills making their way through the Georgia House and Senate would go a long way toward setting the stage for ending the era of the internal combustion engine and bringing on a new generation of EVs. “You’re fixing to see a change in this country,” state Rep. Alan Powell, R-Hartwell, said March 1 shortly before House lawmakers unanimously passed their EV bill....
