Apparently the plebeians supporting the candidates of their choice with small dollar donations represent a major problem for American society. At least, that’s what a condescending New York Times columnist argued. Thomas Edsall, who has an apparent obsession with telling the world how much he despises former President Donald Trump, also revealed a particular distaste for the grassroots Americans who helped propel his ascendance to the White House. “Small Donors Are a Big Problem,” read Edsall’s grossly elitist Aug. 30 headline. “Increasing the share of campaign pledges from modest donors has long been a goal of campaign-finance reformers, but it...

In addition to being the home of newly famous country musician Oliver Anthony, the city of Farmville, Virginia, is also where Amish farmers Samuel and Katie Fisher have operated their food business, Golden Valley Farms, for years.

Kharkiv is one of the cities in Ukraine eliminating traces of the country's Soviet past by removing Russian art, symbols, books and language. Few cities in Ukraine are making as much effort as Kharkiv, a city with a Russian-speaking tradition, to erase its past. Hundreds of streets with Soviet names have been renamed, dozens of monuments demolished and countless books written in Ukrainian have replaced Russian ones on bookshelves. "These books have a therapeutic effect on people," explained historian and book publisher, Oleksandr Savchuk.

ept. 11, 2023, will mark 22 years since the terror attacks on our nation. Two planes flew into the World Trade Center towers, another into the Pentagon, and another, likely headed for the U.S. Capitol Building or the White House, crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

Well, all but one, anyway. According to a report from The Hill, Joe Biden will be in Alaska on the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11...

“Who would want to save Hollywood,” I can almost hear you ask, “after years of rising prices, declining quality, endless crappy reboots, exhausted franchises, and having lefty ideology crammed down our throats?” You aren’t wrong.

Last month, Breitbart’s John Nolte provided some sharp analysis detailing the “six reasons Hollywood’s in real trouble this time” in reaction to the ongoing writers’ strike.

Drone attacks on Russian territory have become an almost daily occurrence in recent weeks....

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had another awkward freeze moment on Wednesday, during a press conference with reporters in Covington, Ky. The 81-year-old senator was asked if he plans to run for reelection, and he froze for about 30 seconds. An aide eventually came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” But McConnell still offered no response. It’s a painfully awkward moment, as difficult to watch as when Joe Biden or John Fetterman attempts to speak. According to a report from NBC News, “Once McConnell re-engaged, he responded briefly to another question about Kentucky Attorney...

Under government plans, more than 400 asylum seekers will move into student accommodation in Huddersfield that features a cinema room and gym. The deal means that more than 150 students who had already signed tenancy agreements have been forced to find alternative accommodation a week before the start of the academic year.
