Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to Donald Trump's recent attack on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, saying that it was "really, really bad." "Donald Trump, even his greatest supporters have acknowledged, had a tough time picking good people. He had a lot of terrible personnel decisions, people like Jerome Adams, his Surgeon General...so we know there was a tough record, but Kayleigh was one of the greatest selections. She did a fantastic job," DeSantis, who is also a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said while appearing on the NH Journal podcast on Friday. DeSantis added: "She's a Harvard-trained lawyer,...

Some have said that "woke" is a virus of the mind that affects the ability to understand and interact with reality. Jack Posobiec recently spoke at the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) in Budapest, Hungary, where he explained how being woke "fundamentally subverts one's ability to function and engage with reality in a meaningful and authentic way." People infected with wokeness blame racism, white supremacy, homophobes, misogyny, religion, climate change, capitalism, etc. when things don't go their way. They insist that a human is a man when biology proves, through DNA, anatomical bone structure, and genitalia she was born with,...

... Asked if he has seen any hard evidence of Huawei using its 5G equipment for purposes of espionage, Evan Anderson, CEO of information service INVNT/IP (Inventing Nations vs. Nation-Sponsored Theft of IP), told Asia Times by email: “While I am not aware of a case wherein Huawei was caught directly surveilling foreign citizens outright, they retain the motivation, capability, and government support to do so. As with any company in China, they cannot say no to the government or Communist Party, by law. “They are a de facto arm of the Chinese state. Conversations about backdoors and evidence of...

Not so fast, Bud Light, Target, and Disney.A majority of voters, including Democrats, do not agree with "woke" influencers that there are more than two genders and that minors should have easy access to sexual identity modifications. In a blow to the campaign pushed by the Biden administration and some in corporate America, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey said that a whopping 71% of likely voters believe that there are just two genders, male and female, not the salad of others highlighted during June’s Pride Month. There are TWO genders: Male & Female. Trust the science! pic.twitter.com/WpuyvTp06C — Rep. Marjorie...

PNC Bank is set to shut almost 30 branches, further accelerating America's transition to automated banking. The financial giant follows in the footsteps of JPMorgan which yesterday announced it was closing a quarter of First Republic locations after it took over the failed firm earlier this year.

Have you heard this one? A Republican president and a Democratic president walked off stage after commencement speeches at military colleges three years apart. The media coverage was a joke. Then: In 2020, then-President Donald Trump slowly descended a ramp at West Point in New York after taking a weird sip of water, and mainstream media pretended it was a national crisis. New York Times: "Trump’s Halting Walk Down Ramp Raises New Health Questions" President Trump faced new questions about his health on Sunday, after videos emerged of him gingerly walking down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at...

KELLOGG –– A student at Kellogg High School isn’t being allowed to participate in his graduation ceremony as a result of comments that were made during a recent assembly. The assembly was a way for senior students to impart words of wisdom to the underclassmen of KHS – the statement that was made by 18-year-old Travis Lohr was one that raised a few eyebrows. “Guys are guys and girls are girls,” Lohr said. “There is no in-between.” After the assembly, Lohr was informed that he wasn’t going to be allowed to walk in KHS’s graduation ceremony this Saturday. Lohr is...

If legacy news corporations fail to report that large majorities of the American public now view their journalistic product as straight-up propaganda, does that make it any less true?According to a survey by Rasmussen Reports, 59% of likely voters in the United States view the corporate news media as “truly the enemy of the people.” This is a majority view, held regardless of race: “58% of whites, 51% of black voters, and 68% of other minorities” — all agree that the mainstream media has become their “enemy.”This scorching indictment of the Fourth Estate piggybacks similar polling from Harvard-Harris showing that...

Former two-term New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie returns to New Hampshire in the week ahead when the 2016 GOP White House contender is expected to launch a 2024 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Sources familiar with Christie’s thinking say that the former governor will formally launch his campaign on Tuesday evening at a town hall at Saint Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics. Word that Christie would be declaring his candidacy for president for the second time came a day after his allies launched a super PAC to support the former governor’s 2024 presidential campaign. The formation of...

A professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) is under fire for putting up a display on “Christian privilege” in one of the school’s hallways for most of the 2022-2023 school year. Charmayne “Charli” Champion-Shaw, a lecturer for the public university’s Native American & Indigenous Studies department, put up the anti-Christian display last October where it remained in the hallway for the entire school year, according to reports. The bulletin board display, titled “Understanding Christian Privilege,” provided students, faculty and guests with a visual lesson in the inherent societal advantages that all Christians allegedly have. Photos of the display posted...

This week, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was surprised by New York Post reporter Steven Nelson asking him "what do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the president is himself corrupt?" "Wow," Kirby replied. "First, I would point out that President Biden himself has repeatedly denied that he is corrupt or that his son has done anything wrong. Second, I would ask voters to consider whether Trump's treason might be worse than a little corruption on the part of President Biden. On the one hand, we have a former Republican president and current Republican candidate...

American Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin vowed Saturday that Washington would not stand for any “coercion and bullying” of its allies and partners by China, while assuring Beijing that the United States remains committed to maintaining the status quo on Taiwan and would prefer dialogue over conflict. Speaking at the so-called Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual forum bringing together top defense officials, diplomats and leaders, Austin lobbied for support for Washington’s vision of a “free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific within a world of rules and rights” as the best course to counter increasing Chinese assertiveness in the region. The U.S. has...

Facebook-owned Instagram is preventing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is competing with President Joe Biden in the Democrat primary, from setting up an official campaign account, according to the candidate. In a post on Twitter, RFK Jr. said that his campaign account is being automatically banned when they attempt to set up a campaign account. “When we use our TeamKennedy email address to set up Instagram accounts we get an automatic 180-day ban,” said the Democrat candidate on Twitter. “Can anyone guess why that’s happening?” “To silence a major political candidate is profoundly undemocratic. Social media is the modern equivalent...

The Government has lifted a restriction which had blocked nursing homes from being repurposed for refugee accommodation. However, under the new rules the properties will face a two-year wait […] At present, if a nursing home decides to close, it has to give residents and the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) six months’ notice of their intention to shut.

One of the most common strategies used by the political left to attack 2nd Amendment supporters is to ramp up the anti-gun hype every time a crime involving a gun is committed. They don’t care much about the tragedy itself, they only care about how they can use it for political gain. However, it’s very important to understand that this is not only about removing gun rights for leftists – It’s also about creating a false association in the public consciousness that guns = crime. That is to say, they want to condition people to believe that once guns are...

The Democrat-led House Select Committee to Investigate Jan. 6 doctored a key piece of its evidence, adding audio to silent U.S. Capitol Police security footage used to create a dramatic video montage for the opening of its primetime hearings last summer, according to a Just the News review of the original raw footage and interviews. In at least two instances identified by Just the News, the panel's sizzle reel that aired live and on C-SPAN last June failed to identify that it had overdubbed audio from another, unidentified source onto the silent footage. Multiple current and former Capitol Police officials...
