Twitter CEO Elon Musk's interview with BBC North America tech reporter James Clayton became a little heated when Musk pressed Clayton for evidence of more hateful content being posted on the platform after the billionaire took over. Clayton said he had seen a slight rise in hateful tweets on the "For You" page. Musk followed up by asking Clayton to name a specific example, which Clayton could not. "You see more hate speech personally?" Musk asked. "I would see more hateful content in that," Clayton replied. "That's why I'm asking for examples. Can you name one example?" Musk continued to...

The Biden administration has proposed cutting water allotments from the Colorado River to California, Arizona, and Nevada by up to 25%. hoping to conserve the supply. “The Colorado River Basin provides water for more than 40 million Americans. It fuels hydropower resources in eight states, supports agriculture and agricultural communities across the West, and is a crucial resource for 30 Tribal Nations. Failure is not an option,” said Deputy Secretary Tommy Beaudreau in a statement. “Recognizing the severity of the worsening drought, the Biden-Harris administration is bringing every tool and every resource to bear through the President’s Investing in America...

The goal: to dismantle the rights and liberty of every American citizen of today and future generations. A new bill introduced by the woke Left is one that should send a chill down the spine of every sane American (we are still the majority). Representative Pramila Jayapal, a proud proponent of the most destructive ideas to American principles, has proposed the Transgender Bill of Rights. According to an opposing political colleague and favorite target of denigration from the Left, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, it is “the most insane piece of legislation I’ve ever seen.” As quoted in the introductory text...

Increasingly during these strange times, we watch foreshadows of past prophecy spread across our nation. I say “strange times,” because things are taking place that are antithetical to all we have embraced as a constitutionally secured republic founded on Judeo-Christian principles. By “shadows of past prophecy,” I’m referring to there being nothing new under the sun, as written by the writer of Ecclesiastes. The clouds of wickedness that plagued generations of antiquity as reported by God’s prophets now are a metastasizing sin-stain shadow of evil spreading across America. Particularly, I believe we can look at Daniel’s time in Babylon and...

With less than a month left of the legislative session, Gov. Polis has yet to put forth any plan to prevent a looming bloodbath and cap residential property tax increases as he promised when voters repealed the Gallagher amendment. Republicans put forth their own plan to cap expected spikes of 40-50% to just five or ten percent over the next several years. But Democrats were ordered to kill those efforts and await the arrival of their hero governor, who would surely swoop in and save the day just in time for his planned 2024 presidential run. Yet the clock is...

Obesity is the single greatest barrier to recruitment in the American military today, and the problem is only getting worse.The Associated Press reported last week nearly 10,000 active-duty Army servicemembers emerged from the coronavirus lockdowns obese, “pushing the rate to nearly a quarter of the troops studied.” Major weight gains were also seen in the Navy and Marines. A pamphlet from the American Security Project (ASP) published last month raised the alarm over the nation’s runaway obesity epidemic jeopardizing national security. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42 percent of the U.S. adult population was obese...

In tracking BLM contributions, we found many companies prioritizing ‘racial justice’ to the detriment of shareholders and employees.Most Americans will remember the first few years of the 2020s for the pandemic, the lockdowns, the layoffs, and the Black Lives Matter (BLM)-fueled riots. Shareholders will also remember them as a tempestuous time for the market. Many companies announced mass layoffs and cuts to dividends and share buyback programs. For example, Disney’s last dividend date was Dec. 12, 2019.But shockingly, as we’ve shown in our BLM Funding Database, companies contributed or pledged more than $83 billion to the BLM movement and related...

Trans activist Dylan Mulvaney has hit back at critics of her Bud Light campaign, insisting they 'don't understand' her and have made her a 'target' because she is newly trans. In an appearance on Rosie O'Donnell's podcast, Mulvaney - who has just completed '365 days of girlhood' said: 'The reason that I think I am so…I’m an easy target is because I’m so new to this. 'I think going after a trans woman that’s been doing this for like 20 years is a lot more difficult. I think maybe they think that there’s some sort of chance with me …...

There’s quite a pattern to the Manhattan D.A. office’s unprecedented use of outside, Democrat-connected lawyers to investigate Trump.A New York City law firm with “strong ties” to Democrats and the Biden administration, and a big-time fundraiser for both, lent the Manhattan district attorney three lawyers to help him take down Donald Trump. This cohort included former Special Assistant District Attorney Mark F. Pomerantz, whose leaked resignation letter appears responsible for the Manhattan prosecutor’s decision to indict Trump.Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg became the first prosecutor to bring criminal charges against a former president when he moved forward last week with the...

Former President Trump said in a new interview that police officers and employees at the Manhattan court house were in tears at the sight of the former president appearing for his arraignment. “And I’ll tell you, people were crying, people that worked there – professionally work there – that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody,” he told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson in an interview that aired Tuesday night. “It’s a tough, tough place,” Trump continued. “And, they were crying, they were actually crying. They said ‘I’m sorry,’ they’d say, ‘2024 sir,’ and tears were pouring down....

Being Emotional Is Not an ArgumentDiscourse, especially in schools, is miserable these days. As Randall Smith, the Scanlan Professor of Theology at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, argues, there are only three options when it comes to uncomfortable topics, “Non-judgmentalism, furious indignation, or ironic detachment.”How he describes his experiences teaching at the college level goes a long way to explain the various examples of absurd college discourse that have been the national focus lately:“My experience with students is that as much as they say that no position is any more true than any other, they are no more...

The corrupt and evil Biden gang ended Catholic Services at Walter Reed Military Center. This announcement occurred during Holy Week. CNS News reported on the Walter Reed Military Medical Center ending Catholic Services and this was announced during Holy Week – the most important week in the Catholic calendar. During Holy Week, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center issued a “cease and desist order” to Franciscan priests at Holy Name College, who had been providing religious services and ministering to the spiritual needs of the hospital’s Catholic patients. The move “violates First Amendment Right to Free Exercise of Religion,” the...

Traditional military parades set to take place next month have been called off in Crimea due to security concerns, according to Sergey Aksyonov, the Russian politician acting as head of the Russia-annexed Crimea since 2014. In a statement on his Telegram channel on Wednesday, Aksyonov said authorities in both Crimea and Sevastopol have decided not to hold parades or marches to mark Victory Day on May 9. Marches to mark Labor Day on May 1 have also been scrapped in the region, he said. The move comes as Ukraine has signaled it intends to recapture Crimea as part of its...

Your control of your money is about to be ripped away from you. Biden’s been busy resurrecting a government program that was the brainchild of Obama. His plan cannot be stopped even if he loses the 2024 election. You are running out of time to protect yourself. The plan is to take away control of all your cash. In the past few weeks, you’ve probably seen the news of banks collapsing in America and around the rest of the world. First, Silicon Valley bank, then Silvergate, Credit Suisse, and more. These bank collapses have paved the way for the government...

A Canadian pastor spent Easter weekend in jail after publicly protesting drag shows for children at public libraries in Calgary, Alberta, marking his third arrest in five weeks. Video footage posted on Rumble shows Calgary police officers arresting Pastor Derek Reimer of Mission 7 Ministries as he protested outside the Genesis Centre on April 4, five days before Easter.Reimer has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of drag queen story hours, events usually hosted by public libraries where men dressed as women read to children. Reimer was arrested on two separate occasions for similar protests, both of which...

Elbridge “Bridge” Colby is, as Donald Trump might say, straight out of central casting for a member of D.C.’s foreign policy elite. He has degrees from Harvard and Yale, a membership to Washington’s Metropolitan Club and the kind of coiffed hair and clipped accent that you’d expect from an American blue-blood. So pristine is his pedigree — his grandfather was head of the CIA — that a lightly fictionalized version of him appears in the New York Times columnist Ross Douthat’s memoir of his undergraduate years at Harvard, titled Privilege. But Colby, far from being a deep state darling, is...

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that President Joe Biden will not run in 2024 because “there’s something wrong” with him. Host Tucker Carlson asked, “Do you think Biden will stay in the race?” Trump said, “Look, I watch him just like you do, and I think it’s almost inappropriate for me to say it. I don’t see how it’s possible. There’s something wrong. I saw his answer today on television about whether or not he was going to run to a very nice guy named Al Roker. You can’t get a softer question than...

“This isn’t the first time that medicine has lost its way.”Jennifer Lahl knows a thing or two about medicine: after spending 20 years in clinical nursing, she is the founder and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture, which works to help educate the public about the day’s most pressing bioethical issues. Nowadays, however, that usually involves the topic of transgenderism.“I mean, think back to what doctors were doing at Nuremberg, during Nazi Germany,” Lahl said during CP’s Generation Indoctrination conference. “Think about the Tuskegge studies that were done for several decades in the United States on men with...

The number of bears sightings, break-ins and close encounters is growing in a Sierra Madre community, leaving residents on edge. Locals and city officials said bear attacks are becoming too common and they’re concerned it’s only a matter of time before an encounter turns deadly. City leaders said they’re trying to create a plan that will make residents feel safer while also protecting the wild bears. Video from recent encounters shows bears of all sizes being spotted, with some clawing their way inside a kitchen or taking a dip in a backyard pool. “It’s more than a nuisance,” Glenn Lambdin,...
