On Thursday morning, The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing dropped a bombshell claim about how Twitter is currently doing business. In a series of tweets on the social media site, Boering laid out how a deal to screen Matt Walsh’s What Is a Woman documentary was canceled due to alleged instances of “misgendering” that occur in the film.As RedState reported, What Is a Woman chronicled the nonsensical and militarist approach being taken by the transgender movement and its targeting of children. It has become one of The Daily Wire’s most successful projects, and the plan was to promote and screen...

VIDEOOn the day after the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea was blown up, former Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski (husband of American writer Anne Applebaum) tweeted his THANK YOU to the USA. Soon afterwards, when he found out the new taboo against the blaming the OBVIOUS culprit, he quickly deleted that tweet.

Section 102 of the debt limit bill will discourage Congress from considering spending bills through an open process involving committee markups and amendments.Did you enjoy the massive, more than 4,000-page omnibus spending legislation that lawmakers passed days before Christmas last year without having time to read — and which the people who wrote it apparently didn’t have time to read either?If so, you’ll love the debt limit deal House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., negotiated with the Biden administration. Lawmakers’ claims to the contrary, provisions in the legislation practically guarantee another train wreck omnibus this coming December.Flawed Reason to Vote for...

Maybe a pride flag on camera equipment shouldn’t discount the work ‘The Chosen’ is doing. The show’s unwillingness to do anything but endorse the flag on set, however, does.Popular Christian TV show “The Chosen” came under fire this week after a viewer spotted an LGBT pride flag on the set of the Bible-based series, in a video “The Chosen” posted to its YouTube account. It’s unclear who placed the flag on the camera equipment or why it was allowed to stay there during shoots. What is perfectly clear is that “The Chosen” isn’t bothered by its presence. “Just like with...

Former President Donald Trump posted a Memorial Day message on Monday, thanking those who gave the “ultimate sacrifice” for the country they love while warning that the fight continues as the country remains in great peril.“HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY THEY LOVE,” Trump began in the all-caps message on Truth Social.He also thanked those in line of what he described as:VERY DIFFERENT, BUT EQUALLY DANGEROUS FIRE, STOPPING THE THREATS OF THE TERRORISTS, MISFITS AND LUNATIC THUGS WHO ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY FROM WITHIN TO OVERTURN AND DESTROY OUR ONCE...

[Catholic Caucus] Abp. Cordileone praises priests for ‘clandestinely’ offering Mass during COVID lockdowns‘I know that many of you … found ways to celebrate Mass for your people, even clandestinely,’ Archbishop Cordileone said. ‘I am grateful to you for that, and proud of you for doing so.’INCOLN, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) — San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone on Friday expressed his gratitude and appreciation for priests who found creative ways to circumvent COVID-19 lockdown orders in order to offer Mass and provide the Holy Eucharist to Catholics during the height of the pandemic response.Cordileone made the remarks during a May 26 ceremony of...

Hit the road, Jack, and don’t you come back to China no more. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is a murderous, dictatorial, oppressive, and anti-American regime. It abuses its own people and works hard to undermine other nations. It’s time that U.S. companies pulled out of China for good. U.S. companies with branches or manufacturing in China include Apple, Tesla, Starbucks, Johnson & Johnson, Disney, McDonald’s, Yum! Brands (think Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC), Dell, Nike, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Kellogg’s, Tyson, and Home Depot. These companies get cheaper labor and higher profits while helping an economy completely controlled by the...

Another day under Biden/Yellen. Last night, “Republicans” joined Democrats to allow unlimited Federal spending and debt for the next two years. Way to go “Benedict McCarthy”! But today, we saw that ISM Manufacturing printed at 46.9 for May, the 7th consecutive month of contraction. Meanwhile, the Biden family twists the night away while Americans are ravished by inflation caused by bad energy policies and runaway Federal spending. The new flag of the National Republican Party!

BALTIMORE – Some parents fear sending their children to school as Charm City faces a surge in youth homicides and shootings. "The school-to-prison pipeline — or really the school-to-grave pipeline — is really real in Baltimore City," Jovani Patterson, who has two young children, told Fox News. Baltimore City Public Schools held a ceremony last week remembering the 19 students shot and killed within the past year. The youngest victim was 8 years old. The previous year, gunfire claimed the lives of 12 students.

By now, it’s obvious that the reactionary culture warriors who want to reshape American education are inspiring a serious liberal counter-mobilization in response. Remarkably, this backlash to the backlash is gaining momentum in some of the reddest parts of the country. A raucous school board meeting in Hernando County, Fla., on Tuesday night captured what’s striking about this new phenomenon. The scene featured teachers pointedly declaring that right-wing attacks are driving them to quit, even as parents and students forcefully stood up on their behalf, demanding a halt to the hysteria. “I have never seen such fear from my colleagues...

Less than a quarter of Americans believe Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) virtual presidential campaign launch went “somewhat” or “very well,” a survey found.Instead of a traditional campaign rally announcement, DeSantis opted for a virtual campaign launch in the form of a Twitter Spaces chat with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. However, DeSantis’s launch was plagued with technical difficulties, leading many to mock his announcement, including the Republican primary frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.As Breitbart News reported:The Twitter Spaces call, scheduled to launch at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, began several minutes late as one unidentified voice whispered that it was “quiet.” David...

In the second broadcast town hall since he declared his candidacy last November, former President Donald Trump will be on FOX News for an hour tonight (June 1). The broadcast, taped before a live audience earlier in the day in Clive, Iowa, will comprise the Hannity program’s full hour from 9-10 PM ET, with a replay at 11 PM PT. Three weeks ago, in his first town hall appearance of the campaign, Trump chose CNN as the platform. The reviews of that 70-minute show were decidedly mixed, with both the rest of the MSM and fans of Trump dumping on...

Talk about a bureaucrat from the underworld. According to the Democrat governor who hired her, there were “concerns” with Dr. Karen Johnson’s professional performance, so he had to let her go — but the details of Johnson’s firing make for a spicy spectacle. (“Concerns” doesn’t quite fit; “nightmare” seems more appropriate.) In 2020 and under Governor Jay Inslee, Washington state established the brand new Office of Equity (OOE), and in March 2021, Inslee appointed the bureau’s first director, Dr. Karen Johnson. After two tumultuous years, Inslee’s office fired Johnson sometime around mid-May, and according to one local news outlet, the...

Christina Pushaw, “Rapid Response Director” for Ron DeSantis’s 2024 presidential campaign, recently argued that immigration “has been a net positive thing for the country,” and that she is “in favor of Dreamers” – the class of illegal migrant championed by President Barack Obama.Pushaw stated in an unearthed Zoom call (below) that immigration does “not need to be better enforced, or regulated,” but rather, that “the law needs to be better because right now it’s extremely difficult to immigrate legally even for qualified people, even for people who are working hard which many undocumented immigrants do by the way: they work...

We may well be living in a "fake election" era, when legalized ballot fraud, months-long voting, and nonexistent voter identification requirements give the Uniparty insurmountable advantages in "selecting" compliant "representatives" for the people. But voting in the largest numbers possible will continue to highlight the obvious election rigging. If for no other reason than that it makes the fraudsters' jobs that much harder, voting still matters. Force them to explain how precincts can turn out more votes than residents! There's a reason the State-controlled media never point out that Joe Biden supposedly won fifteen million more votes than Barack Obama...

Russian fighters serving under the Ukrainian Armed Forces have crossed into the town of Shebekino in Russia's Belgorod region, bringing "heavy equipment" with them, Ilya Ponomarev, an exiled Russian politician—who says he is the political representative for the group of fighters—told Newsweek. Ponomarev's remarks came on the heels of a statement from Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, who said shelling in the border town of Shebekino overnight injured at least eight people. Gladkov denied "any enemies are on the territory of the Belgorod region" even as reports emerged that tanks operated by "saboteurs" were shelling the town's checkpoint. The Freedom of...

Portland officials are mulling a proposal to ban daytime homeless camps in most public spaces as the West Coast city struggles to get a handle on the ballooning number of people living on the streets. Homeless people would need to clear their camps every morning by 8 a.m., picking up all their belongings and trash before they could settle down again at 8 p.m., according to the proposal. The ban would extend to city parks, near schools, day cares, construction sites and some sidewalks, according to the plan brought forward by Mayor Ted Wheeler. “There are currently hundreds of unsanctioned,...

James Crown, one of the wealthiest men in Chicago, is aiming to use his national clout in business to try to fight crime in the city. The ambitious goal? To reduce the number of killings in Chicago to fewer than 400 a year within five years. On Thursday, Crown — whose family was ranked 34th-richest in America by Forbes in 2020, worth an estimated $10.2 billion — is announcing a crime-reduction strategy focused on getting jobs for thousands of people in the most dangerous parts of Chicago, providing millions of dollars for civilian violence-intervention programs, strengthening law enforcement agencies and...

Pride Month Goeth Before a FallThe Rainbow Flag is a lie, plain and simple, and it shouldn’t be tolerated either on the conservative Christian side or the liberal secular side. It is pandering, it is patronizing, it is grooming.June is upon us and the rainbows are out full force—but could it be with a diminishing force? Unilaterally appropriated as “Pride Month,” the beginning of summer comes with the unfurling of the Rainbow Flag in neighborhoods, stores, and internet ads because anything less, at this point, would be branded as homophobic censorship. Get in line, fly the flag, cry “love is...
