I loved reading this study. I truly did.I loved it despite the fact that the authors themselves didn’t understand the meaning of their research. They thought it proved that White liberals are trying too hard to be “allies” of minorities, but what it in fact proved is that conservatives respect minorities as individuals and treat them just as they treat White people.The writeup itself is a bunch of liberal racist gobbledygook, filled with virtue signaling, misrepresentations, and blindness to the meaning of the findings.Glorious. Truly glorious. Levels of stupidity that only academics can achieve. I am pretty sure it was...

A former Manhattan district attorney’s office prosecutor refused to answer questions about Alvin Bragg’s 34-count felony indictment of former President Donald Trump after he was subpoenaed to appear by House Republicans. Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from the prosecutor’s office in February 2022 after District Attorney Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus Vance, didn’t pursue the charges that were then finally filed earlier this year by Bragg, declined to answer any questions about the Trump investigation on Friday. “I am here because I respect the rule of law," Pomerantz said behind closed doors in front of the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee. “What I do...

It’s not clear exactly why these CUNY Law School grads decided to turn their backs on Mayor Adams but if I had to guess it was probably his reluctance to call the death of a Jordan Neely a murder and instead suggest people should wait for the results of an investigation. But the way it came across today was a bunch of leftists booing him for having once been a police officer.As the City University of New York School of Law dean, Sudha Setty, introduced the mayor on Friday, she noted his time spent on the police force. The crowd...

It’s always encouraging to see parents and others fighting back against the effort to sexualize children. At a time when progressives are trying desperately to introduce their ideology on sexuality and gender identity, people are using the legal system to put a stop to the movement to indoctrinate young minds in the classrooms.Nevada parents have filed a federal lawsuit against the Clark County School District (CCSD) after their 15-year-old child was allegedly forced to read a pornographic script during a class assignment. The incident, which took place in March 2022, involved the student being assigned a sexually explicit monologue written...

Avideo clip that captures Texas law enforcement reinforcing razor wire along its state's southern border has gone viral on Twitter in the wake of Title 42's expiration. The 1944 health measure was enacted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic during the administration of then-President Donald Trump as a method to control the number of border crossings. Title 42 allows U.S. officials to expel migrants without going through a formal asylum process in order to prevent the spread of diseases. However, after President Joe Biden signed a measure declaring May 11 as the end of the COVID-19 emergency in the...

A former executive at ByteDance, the Chinese firm that owns the video app TikTok, has accused the company of having a “culture of lawlessness,” including stealing content and intellectual property from rivals Snapchat and Instagram, while also describing it as a “useful propaganda tool for the Chinese Communist Party.”Yintao Yu, former head of engineering for ByteDance’s U.S. operations from August 2017 to November 2018, made the allegations as part of a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed on Friday.

WORLD — A mysterious new virus is forcing millions of people around the world to call in sick to work today, according to sources. "We've never seen anything like this," said a World Health Organization spokesperson Chad Muskrat to reporters. "It seems to be exclusively affecting males between the ages of 10 and 40. So far, tens of millions in the U.S. alone have called in sick. We are urging everyone to stay in their homes and maybe relax on the couch while, I don't know, playing a video game or something." "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm feeling a...

California Democratic state Sen. Steven Bradford is warning African Americans not to get their "hopes up" for massive reparations payments from the state. Bradford’s message comes after the California Reparations Task Force recommended over the weekend that the state pay up to $1.2 million in reparations to each eligible Black resident. The state lawmaker, who served on the task force, claimed that it’s possible that Black residents could receive cash payments "if the money’s there," but argued that receiving million dollar checks in repayment for historical discrimination is "not happening." The reparations panel held a public meeting in Oakland, California,...

Mayor Eric Adams was booed at a City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law graduation ceremony Friday, after referencing his history as a police officer. As Adams delivered a short speech to the crowd, dozens of students began shouting when he mentioned his previous service in the New York Police Department (NYPD).

Chemotherapy has been the most effective treatment to date for young and fit patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Research now shows that a chemo-free drug-combination therapy is more effective and produces fewer side effects. The phase 3 randomized trial, also known as the GAIA/CLL13 trial, was conducted with a total of 920 fit patients with CLL in 159 hospitals in nine European countries and Israel. The patients were placed in four groups and received either chemotherapy and an antibody (standard treatment), or the drug venetoclax in combination with an antibody (either rituximab or obinutuzumab). The fourth group received venetoclax,...

With COVID-19 becoming endemic, people need to exercise practical reason when deciding how best to live with the lurking presence of the virus, just like they do with dengue and influenza, says respiratory specialist Dr Ong Kian Chung.The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday (May 5) declared that COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency. For three years, Singapore, along with the rest of the world, battled a disease that has killed 6.9 million people globally. That is more than the total population of Singapore. WHO’s lifting of the emergency alert is a sign of the progress that nations...

While much of the country cracks down on grooming material, Illinois is moving in the opposite direction.SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (LifeSiteNews) — While other states work to remove pornographic content from public schools and children’s library access, Illinois is moving in the opposite direction, with a new law that will penalize schools for not allowing children unfettered access to such material.

Nearly two dozen struggling homeless veterans have been booted from upstate hotels to make room for migrants, says a nonprofit group that works with the vets. The ex-military — including a 24-year-old man in desperate need of help after serving in Afghanistan — were told by the hotels at the beginning of the week that their temporary housing was getting pulled out from under them at the establishments and that they’d have to move on to another spot, according to the group and a sickened local pol. “Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on...

A recent tentative agreement struck in a St. John’s courtroom will transfer control over 32 schools on the Avalon and Burin peninsulas from the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of St. John’s (RCESJ) to the Newfoundland and Labrador government. After months of uncertainty gripping these schools because of the RCESJ’s insolvency after being found liable for the claims of abuse survivors, this deal paves the way for these institutes to continue being used for the education of young minds for the long-term future. Meanwhile, the $13 million granted to the episcopal corporation, the property arm of the Archdiocese of St. John’s,...

Senator Michael Testa called on Governor Murphy to clarify the intent of a request from the Department of Health (DOH) for proposed rule revisions on vaccine requirements for students. “It is abundantly clear that the Murphy administration is attempting to railroad parental rights by soliciting egregious vaccine recommendations from anonymous stakeholders,” said Testa (R-1). “When the government tries to sneak in policy changes that would impact a child’s quality of education behind closed doors, that should immediately send a red flag to parents. There is no greater stakeholder in a child’s life than their parent or guardian.” The DOH sent...
