The criminal practice of trafficking and abusing hundreds of thousands of migrant children who cross the southern border is now, thanks to the open-border policy of the Biden Administration, apparently "normal" inside the US:"According to Customs and Border Protection, since January 2021 when Biden took the oath of office, there have been 5,118,661 encounters with illegal immigrants along the southern border."These numbers do not include reports that "at least 1.2 million illegal immigrants," or "gotaways," who "were confirmed to have unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.""The actual number of illegal immigrants... [is] unknown. It could be double the number of known...

Well, here’s an interesting tidbit from a presentation to the FDA’s Product Advisory Committee on Oct 22, 2020, reviewing the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines.Buried within the presentation, this part of which had to do with the monitoring of the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and how the FDA was going to monitor possible side effects aggressively, a slide was accidentally shown for a fraction of a second that listed the side effects they expected might arise from mass vaccinations with the new mRNA vaccine. The list was derived from the testing done by the manufacturers and from...

Diversity is our strength. Except, apparently, the more diversity the military seeks, the less strength it requires.That seems to be the lesson of the Army’s physical fitness standards, which do not apply to people who are getting “gender-affirming” care.The Army obesity crisis is worse among the “diversity” hires — women, blacks, Hispanics, and transvestites.Shocker!https://t.co/ZdRNGjckZ4— Revolver News (@RevolverNewsUSA) July 5, 2023One of the shibboleths of the Left is the claim that increasing the acceptance of “gender-diverse” individuals into the military merely extends the same opportunities to transgender folks as those afforded to people who identify with their natal sex (man, finding...

Or at least through January 2025. Gal Luft, the noted “missing” witness in the House probe of corruption related to the Biden family, has emerged in a video recording to get his argument out to the public. The former Israeli army officer claims that his legal problems in Cyprus was part of an intentional plot to stop him from testifying before House Oversight as to the Bidens’ connections to China, and especially to CEFC, an alleged front for Beijing’s intelligence services.It would have been 2016 all over again, Luft promises, but this time for real:The “missing witness” from the Biden...

Our Republic is at risk from radical Republicans.We keep being told this, but somehow all the threats to legal decisions and legal norms seem to come from the Left.You have probably noticed the full-court press against the Supreme Court the Left has been playing. Constant threats to ignore its rulings, attacks on its integrity (which, in an unusual move, the Supreme Court Justices unanimously denounced), and threats to pack the Court to regain a Leftist majority.Now we have yet another direct attack on the Constitution and the legal system from the Arizona Attorney General.I always predicted that some state was...

Mistakes happen to all of us but that doesn’t mean they aren’t pretty embarrassing. That’s especially true when the claim being made is a) obviously improbable and b) you have an entire staff of helpers who also somehow missed it. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made the mistake in her dissent on affirmative action.Beyond campus, the diversity that UNC pursues for the betterment of its students and society is not a trendy slogan. It saves lives. For marginalized communities in North Carolina, it is critically important that UNC and other area institutions produce highly educated professionals of color. Research shows that...

The controversial Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings system for businesses made popular by BlackRock, Inc. was put on indefinite hold last month, citing a concern that people now understand what it means and totally hate it. According to sources, the company plans to bring it back at a later date when they come up with another name for it that nobody knows about. "ESG has been a great money-making scheme, but it was destined for failure once people figured out it was nothing but a tool for pushing radical Communist ideology," said BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. "But I'm confident...

You know, you’d think that after the Bud Light fiasco and the massive push-back Target received over their controversial child-themed transgender merch and association with a clothing designer who has used satanic imagery to “make a point” about alleged anti-LGBTQ “hate” that the struggling retailer would have learned that wading into the culture wars was not a good idea from a business standpoint.But in another one we can file under “lessons not learned,” conservative commentator Mark Levin announced on his Twitter feed Wednesday that his publisher had been alerted by Target that they would not be selling his upcoming book...

MP Chris Pincher is facing an eight-week Commons suspension after an inquiry found he groped two men at a London club last year. Parliament's standards committee said his "completely inappropriate" behavior was an "abuse of power". The recommended sanction will need to be endorsed by the whole House of Commons. That would trigger a recall petition in his Tamworth constituency, potentially leading to a by-election... Following a year-long inquiry, commissioner Daniel Greenberg found the MP had groped a then-employee of the House of Lords on his arm and neck, before groping his bottom. He also found that he groped a...

Since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tossed his hat into the 2024 presidential ring, his detractors have repeatedly pointed to one issue as evidence that he’s unfit to be president: his skepticism of the COVID-19 vaccines. The reality, however, is that the same media institutions depicting Kennedy as a wingnut spreading fringe conspiracy theories played a key role in popularizing vaccine resistance. The sheer volume of sudden reversals in public health policy makes it difficult to recall what anyone was claiming a few years ago, but there is a simple formula to understand why “the science” keeps changing: It’s often about...

The CEO of woke tampon brand August has been criticized online for repeatedly using the word 'menstruators' instead of 'women' throughout an interview about period stigma.

Clips of the interview shared online triggered an angry response from people on Twitter, who were quick to call Okamoto 'a clown' - while some women said they would not stand for being called 'menstruators'. Okamoto's choice of words comes...
