American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten was hit with a Twitter fact-check on Monday after she claimed she tried to get students back into the classroom during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Weingarten made the hyperbolic claims in a tweet on Monday, acknowledging a post from Kyle Belokopisky — the executive director of the New York State Congress of Parents and Teachers — on the supposed 3-year anniversary of planning to reopen New York schools. “We worked together 3 years ago to get our kids back to in person schooling in a way that was safe for...

“The Democratic Party’s never-ending witch-hunt of President Trump hit a new low today. In jurisdictions wholly controlled by the Democratic Party our nation’s justice system is now compromised by extremist left-wing politics. We have allowed false and totally made-up claims from troubled individuals to interfere with our elections, doing great damage.... E.

The California woman suing Subway for claiming its tuna products contain ingredients other than tuna wants to end her lawsuit because she is pregnant, prompting Subway to demand her lawyers be sanctioned for bringing a frivolous case. Nilima Amin said her "severe" morning sickness and "debilitating" conditions as she prepares for a third child have left her "unable to proceed with the obligations as plaintiff," and require her to focus on her health and family. Amin wants to dismiss the case in San Francisco federal court without prejudice, which would let her sue again when she feels better. In a...

Man asks ChatGPT for numbers, strikes Toto ChatGPT or Cai Shen Ye (God of Fortune)? One man in Singapore recently took the use of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot to a whole new level, after he randomly asked ChatGPT to generate some lottery numbers for him. To his (and everyone's) surprise, it was a lucky strike — though not quite the jackpot. In a TikTok video posted on Friday (May 5), Aaron Tan shared how he "decided to ask ChatGPT for a set of nice seven numbers" for the Toto draw on May 4. The question he posed to the...

Chancellor David C. Banks said the city is going to make major changes to how reading is taught in order to address the fact that half of city children in grades three through eight are not proficient in reading, according to the report. Banks noted in a recent interview that the city’s reading instruction methods are “fundamentally flawed” and fail to use scientifically proven ways of teaching students to read. “It’s not your fault. It’s not your child’s fault. It was our fault,” Banks said. “This is the beginning of a massive turnaround.” The city’s 32 school districts will begin...

President Biden on Tuesday said rescinding unspent COVID-19 relief funds is “on the table” when it comes to an area where he and lawmakers can agree to make some spending cuts — but he was vague on whether that could also be part of debt ceiling talks. When asked if he would consider clawing back the unspent funds “even if it’s independent on these debt limit discussions,” Biden appeared to leave that option open.

I have done a quick internet search engine dig and didn't get what I was hoping for. Ok...I know that I heard on the radio today that the Law that made it possible for a jury to award E. Jean Carroll todays win was a brand new law and only been on the books for less than a year. What that means is...they created this new law JUST so they could get trump. I need to find what law was used as the basis for ruling against trump today. Can some nice FReeper please help me? Thanks!

Another major retailer is closing its doors in San Francisco, citing a drop in foot traffic and the rise in crime. T-Mobile is the latest company to decide that it’s not worth it to keep their store open in the crime-ridden city. This follows the closure of other stores such as Whole Foods and Office Depot.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) has declared a state of emergency for the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, stating that the city has hit a “breaking point” and is “full” due to illegal immigration flows arriving from the United States-Mexico border. Since August 2022, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has bused more than 8,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to Chicago to help save his state’s taxpayers billions in social and economic costs associated with illegal immigration.

Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden proudly announced that all her kids are “queer” at a digital fundraiser and live telethon to raise money in support of drag queen performances across the country. During a telethon called “Drag Isn’t Dangerous,” the 63-year-old actress said she was there to help raise money to fight so-called anti-LGBTQ legislation because of her offspring, People magazine reported. “What drives me is because it’s right and what’s happening right now is wrong,” Harden said during the broadcast. “What drives me is — my children are all queer,” she added. “My eldest child is non-binary. My son...

While speaking to CNN on Tuesday, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) stated that President Joe Biden’s refusal to negotiate over spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling is “not rational, it’s not reasonable, and it’s not practical.” And that the White House’s refusal to negotiate spending cuts around raising the debt ceiling is “hypocritical” when there have been negotiations on raising the debt ceiling any time that there is divided government and one party doesn’t control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

The House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees have obtained evidence that an active CIA employee may have recruited signatories for a now-infamous letter in which intelligence community veterans falsely categorized the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation in a bid to swing the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden. "The Committees have evidence that an employee affiliated with the CIA may have assisted in obtaining signatories for the statement," reads a soon-to-be released report from the committees. "One signer of the statement, former CIA analyst David Cariens, disclosed to the Committees that a CIA employee affiliated with the agency’s Prepublication Classification...

The Bud Light controversy – you know the one – may have been a blessing in disguise. No, not because America needed to see any more of Dylan Mulvaney, the confused young man in lipstick and pearls. Nobody needs to see that. But because the controversy exposed a growing problem in the American business world, a problem that had largely gone unnoticed until now. First, the background. A few months ago, Bud Light was just another unremarkable inexpensive cross between beer and water, suffering from the general doldrums of the beer industry as other beverages such as hard lemonade, hard...

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has signed a law to protect minors seeking gender-affirming care from the intervention of estranged parents. The new law that Inslee signed Tuesday is part of a wave of legislation in Democratic-led states intended to give refuge amid a conservative movement in which lawmakers in other states have attacked trans rights and limited or banned gender-affirming care for minors.

We keep hearing about businesses closing shop in San Francisco. Whole Foods lasted one year before it decided that the crime problem was too much. So how about taking guns away from security guards, leaving them defenseless against armed criminals? The end game is probably to replace all security guards with social workers anyway. Dean Preston, a democratic socialist, is behind the legislation: "Today, I’m announcing legislation to limit use of guns by security guards. We must amend local law to prohibit guards from drawing weapons just to protect property. Human life is more important than property."

The nature of our politically corrupt justice system takes on new clarity today as a jury in New York City decided President Trump did not rape E. Jean Carroll, the crazy moonbat funded by political operatives, but President Trump did defame her in his denial of the accusation. Thus, the jury awards damages to the false accuser, while finding the accused not guilty.Presumably the position of the jury was that something ‘may have happened‘ because this was not a criminal trial outcome which would be based on “beyond a reasonable doubt” as the standard. Instead, this verdict was based on...

New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu told Newsmax Tuesday that while former President Donald Trump could win his party’s nomination for president in 2024, he won’t win the November general election."He could win the nomination, but not [the general election] in November of 2024," Sununu said during "Wake Up America." "It's just that simple. The fact of the matter is we lost the house in 2018, we lost everything in 2020. We should have had, with the inflation issues, with the disastrous economic issues that Biden was facing, we should have crushed it in 2022."Sununu said the GOP failed to...

In a surprise video uploaded to Twitter on Tuesday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced he will be doing his new show on Twitter. Tucker accused Fox News of fraud and breach of contract, according to Axios. Tucker Carlson, two weeks after being ousted by Fox News, accused the network Tuesday of fraud and breach of contract — and made a host of document demands that could precede legal action. The aggressive letter from his lawyers to Fox positions Carlson to argue that the noncompete provision in his contract is no longer valid — freeing him to launch his...
