For all the blathering the Democrats do about being the “champions” of special classes or causes, it seems the only glass ceiling they’re really smashing is for the unemployable. If sticky-fingers Sam Brinton, or “public health expert” Demetre Daskalakis (who recently wore fetish gear to a professional conference) sought employment in the private sector, who in their right mind would hire them?Open the Books founder Adam Andrzejewski recently published the findings of a dive into the annual report released to Congress by the White House on payroll data, and revealed the perfectly predictable (albeit still outrageous) price tag:During President Joe...

You might not be familiar with “Battle-ax” Barb McQuade. She’s a former federal prosecutor and fixture in the establishment uniparty swamp and frequently appears on NBC News. She’s now posing as a “disinformation expert” and has even written a book on the subject, titled “Attack From Within.” Barb’s tweet promoting her new book didn’t quite receive the reaction she was hoping for. Instead, she was relentlessly trolled online, largely because many people view Barb as an unabashed mouthpiece for the regime who isn’t afraid to stretch the truth. Barb seemed taken aback by the backlash. This serves as another testament...

It's nice to see that there's still some justice left in America, at least when skin color isn't a factor and the media doesn't need to advance the Narrative™. From WSPA: The Buncombe County District Attorney ruled that a North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) trooper's deadly force was justified in a July 3 shooting along Interstate 26 in Buncombe County. Investigators said Trooper Jeffrey Dunlap was assisting a stranded motorist around 7:35 p.m. on I-26 near Long Shoals Road when that motorist pulled out a gun and shot him in the chest. Nobody's releasing video yet, but the snapshot...

ANTIETAM RIVER, Sunday, July 12 -- 8 A.M., Via FREDERICK, Sunday, July 12.} Our whole line is ordered to advance to-day, and unless the enemy retire, there will be more or less fighting before night. There was only slight skirmishing yesterday. The enemy held his picket's line very tenaciously, as though concealing some strong position behind it. These are well grounded fears that the river may become fordable in a day or two. It had fallen considerable at Shepperdstown yesterday, and was still rapidly seceeding. A scout from Winchester, yesterday, reports the enemy moving another pontoon train, and a train...

(AP) The Black Lives Matter movement hits a milestone on Thursday, marking 10 years since its 2013 founding in response to the acquittal of the man who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Gunned down in a Florida gated community where his father lived in 2012, Martin was one of the earliest symbols of a movement that now wields influence in politics, law enforcement and broader conversations about racial progress in and outside the U.S. BLM activists and organizations plan to mark a decade of the movement with in-person and virtual events. Calls to action include a renewed push to defund...

We’re all being targeted now. We’re all guilty until proven innocent now. And thanks to the 24/7 surveillance being carried out by the government’s spy network of fusion centers, we are all now sitting ducks, just waiting to be tagged, flagged, targeted, monitored, manipulated, investigated, interrogated, heckled and generally harassed by agents of the American police state. Although these precrime programs are popping up all across the country, in small towns and big cities, they are not making us any safer but they are endangering individual freedoms. Nationwide, there are upwards of 123 real-time crime centers (a.k.a. fusion centers), which...

A brawl erupted in the Kosovo parliament on Thursday after an opposition lawmaker threw water on Prime Minister Albin Kurti while he was speaking about government measures to defuse tensions with ethnic Serbs in the country's north. Kosovo opposition parties have criticized Kurti's policies in the north that have strained relations with key Western allies. The U.S. and European Union have pressured Kurti to help calm the situation after violence broke out in May after police-backed ethnic Albanian mayors took office following an election that the ethnic Serb majority in the area had widely boycotted. Dozens of people were injured...

A $1.5 billion budget shortfall, student outrage over planned annual 6% tuition hikes for at least five years, stubborn racial gaps in graduation rates and widespread distrust over how the university handles sexual assault claims. This is the job that awaits Mildred García, who was named chancellor of the California State University today.

CHICAGO — Prosecutors yesterday charged Nicolas Ramirez, 20, with carjacking a woman at gunpoint in Little Village on Tuesday. Ramirez was on bail for another armed carjacking case and on probation for a felony gun case at the time. And, for good measure, he had warrants out on both cases because he stopped showing up for his court dates. When we report stories like the one you’re about to read, people often ask us, “How in the world was that person out on the streets?” It depends. But, in the case of Nicolas Ramirez, the answer is Cook County Judge...

The Bible In Paintings The Best of BENJAMIN WEST “BENJAMIN WEST (1738 – 1820) was a British-American artist who painted famous historical scenes. “West also painted religious subjects, as in his huge work The Preservation of St Paul after a Shipwreck at Malta. “Benjamin West was known in England as the "American Raphael". His Raphaelesque painting of Archangel Michael Binding the Devil is in the collection of Trinity College, Cambridge. “Following a loss of royal patronage at the beginning of the 19th century, West began a series of large-scale religious works. The first [was] Christ Healing the Sick. The...

A proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule that “would limit tailpipe emissions so that in order to comply, auto companies would have to sell 60% of new vehicles as electric by 2030” would adversely affect the safety of cars. So says Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment. (The Daily Signal is The Heritage Foundation’s news outlet.) “Well, since [electric] vehicles are more expensive, people would postpone buying them. So, they would stay with their older cars, and newer cars have more safety features. If they get in an accident, they’re less likely to hurt...

Former president Barack Obama is reportedly working behind the scenes to throw Joe Biden under the bus as it’s becoming undeniably clear from both sides of the aisle he is “too old” to win, according to a report. Reports surfaced earlier this month that Obama was holding a secret meeting in Washington, D.C., to rally Democratic congressional support to replace Biden atop the party’s 2024 ticket. Obama recently hosted several meetings with younger House Democrats which took place over cheese and crackers in Obama’s Washington office,” Politico’s Jonathan Martin reported. While it is unclear what was discussed, the low-profile meeting...

A growing number of countries, including some of the most progressive in Europe, are rejecting the U.S. “gender-affirming” model of care for transgender-identified youth. These countries have adopted a far more restrictive and cautious approach, one that prioritizes psychotherapy and reserves hormonal interventions for extreme cases. In stark contrast to groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which urges clinicians to “affirm” their patient’s identity irrespective of circumstance and regards alternatives to an affirm-early/affirm-only approach “conversion therapy,” European health authorities are recommending exploratory therapy to discern why teens are rejecting their bodies and whether less invasive treatments may help....

The recently concluded riots in France are a dark omen for Europe and the wider Western world. The Algerian teenager whose killing lit the fuse has been likened to George Floyd, and indeed, there are striking parallels. Both were criminals who died while refusing to cooperate with law enforcement, for starters. But that is not the story Western audiences are getting from their press. Instead, they are told he is a martyr, a victim of wicked Europe. His blood is on the hands of post-colonial France. No one has bothered to ask the native French how they feel about their...
