Disney is proud to push PRIDE.Pride is the code word for the alphabet people. It used to be reserved for gays and lesbians but now has become the all-purpose umbrella ideology for everything from doggy fetishists to people pretending to be infants. Sex workers have their own symbol on the new pride flag, and every paraphilia imaginable is being celebrated.The argument for gay marriage that finally worked, changing the attitude of the whole country, was that by opening up marriage to gays and lesbians they would become integrated into the larger society and adopt the norms and traditions of heterosexuals....

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr on Thursday predicted Special Counsel Jack Smith will indict Trump in August or September. Jack Smith reportedly has “new and significant evidence” of potential Trump obstruction in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. Biden’s Justice Department has nothing on Trump so they are going to try to get him on ‘obstruction’ charges. Jack Smith is also investigating Trump’s effort to raise money off of ‘false claims of election fraud,’ according to a leak to the Washington Post. Federal prosecutors are investigating money raised between November 3, 2020 and January 20, 2021. Barr said Trump’s comments...

One of the most remarkable laws in the Bible is in the Book of Deuteronomy: “Do not hate an Egyptian.” It is remarkable because it was given to the generation of Israelites that had just been liberated from slavery in Egypt.Imagine.A people who had been enslaved for hundreds of years, and for a period of time had their newborn sons drowned, was instructed — by Moses in the name of God, no less — not to hate the people who had just enslaved them.This is one of many examples why America’s Founders regarded the Bible as the most important book...

I just listened to a Jordan Peterson video, and while I think he is perhaps the intellectual heir to the retired Thomas Sowell (if you disagree with this, please do not too caustic in your rebutal comments), he stated something in the video that made me question the meaning of far right and far left.

Alec Baldwin was charming on the red carpet at the 2023 PEN America Spring Literary Gala Thursday night but inside was a different story. A spy tells Page Six exclusively that the actor allegedly berated a female server leaving her “looking shocked.” SNIP One female server — who “was probably in her late 20s or early 30s” — was stuck behind the actor because he was standing and talking. SNIP After the alleged incident, the visibly upset server was overheard telling someone at the event, “I don’t know why he yelled at me.”

David Zaslav, the CEO of CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, yet again stood up for his overhaul of the struggling cable network, which has faced intense criticism since ditching its left-leaning commentary. Zaslav said CNN’s team is “working hard” to reposition the network, and that “Republicans are back on the air” at CNN while speaking at the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York on Thursday, according to Variety. He went on to say that CNN’s notoriously “left-leaning” brand was changing, and cited a YouGov poll that found an 11-point improvement in US viewers’ trust in CNN,...

Central banks have been credited with averting a global depression twice over the past 15 years: Once after the 2008 financial crisis, and again at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. But the tactics they deployed to restore confidence and keep money flowing from banks to the economy amounted to a high-stakes experiment — one that may be impossible to unwind without destabilizing the financial system. Central banks purchased tens of trillions of dollars worth of government bonds and other assets in a bid to bring down longer-term borrowing costs and stimulate their economies. This measure, known as “quantitative easing,”...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) support in the 2024 Republican primary continues to slip as former President Donald Trump dominates, May’s Harvard-Harris survey found. The survey, coming on the rumored brink of the launch of DeSantis’s presidential campaign, shows Trump’s backing continuing to grow, with a majority of Republican voters, 58 percent, supporting him.DeSantis comes in an extremely distant second, 42 points behind with 16 percent. That reflects a four-point drop from the 20 percent he garnered in the last survey.Trump’s 58 percent, meanwhile, reflects a three-point boost for the former president.No other challenger — or potential challenger — comes...

Shasta County District 1 Supervisor Kevin Crye, an ally of MyPillow CEO and 2020 presidential election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, is facing a citizen-led recall effort because of his role in the county’s decision to get rid of Dominion voting machines in favor of an expensive plan to hand-count ballots. On Wednesday, Crye joined Lindell’s TV show to preview his anti-recall messaging. “We want to keep Gavin Newsom out of Shasta County politics,” Crye said after directing viewers to a campaign site that prominently features the governor’s name in multiple places. The reason Crye is invoking Newsom is simple: Thanks...

There was a lot that Joe Biden did wrong during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. He failed to get our allies out before the country fell to the Taliban, then leaving them and hundreds of Americans behind. Because of his failures, 13 young Americans who served in our military were killed. One of the other things that the Biden team did was drone strike a family and then tell all kinds of false stories about it, claiming that they had hit a terrorist. First, they said there were no civilian casualties. Then we found out ten people, including several children,...

Republicans are at a fatal disadvantage in the ballot-harvesting game, and it is important to understand why.We understand the impulse among some Republicans to throw up their hands in frustration when it comes to ballot harvesting. They advocate rapidly deploying their own ballot-harvesting operations in advance of the 2024 election. Some have likened it to a nuclear arms race. Mollie and Mark Hemingway have recently argued that “…our only hope of getting electoral arms control is if both sides have nukes.” But the nuclear weapons analogy is deeply flawed. Nuclear weapons are arguably a legitimate means of waging war, whereas...

The National Press Club is probably best known for its White House Correspondent’s Dinner. This site prefers to think of it as the site of the Alferd Packer plaque, a memorial to a cannibal who avoided hanging. The plaque is rather unassuming, its simple polished brass declaring: “The Alferd Packer Memorial Grill — In Memory of Stan Weston 1931-1984.” Weston was the public affairs officer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who came up with a 1977 contest to name the USDA’s new cafeteria. But hold that thought for now. Packer was born in Pennsylvania in 1842. He made his...

Manufactured racial animosity is only made possible by out-of-context clips and willing accomplices in Big Tech and corporate media.What happens when a white, pregnant physician assistant who just left a 12-hour shift in a New York City hospital is accosted and has her Citi Bike hijacked by a group of troublemakers who are black? The woman is put on leave by her hospital. That’s not a bad joke. It’s yet another real-life example that proves viral out-of-context videos, manufactured racial animosity, and Big Tech and corporate media’s willingness to amplify it pose a grave danger to society. On May 12,...
