The more the election becomes conventionally unwinnable, the more it will be waged unconventionally. Remember the “conventional” part. Elections don’t just come down to swaying the electorate, but increasingly to turning out your base. The Dems are parasitically dependent on black voter turnout. Especially with Latino and Asian voters becoming more erratic. While some Republicans are touting gains among black men, the thing to remember is that they vote in small numbers and the actual Democrat base is the ‘church lady’ electorate. Older black women. A threat to the Dem black electorate is politically fatal. Or at least it ought...

The ex-convict who allegedly beat a 60-year-old woman with a cane in a Harlem subway station was cut loose by cops after the heinous caught-on-camera assault — and the officers’ response is now under investigation, The Post has learned. In the now-viral recording, the hulking suspect — publicly identified by cops Tuesday as 43-year-old Norton Blake —bashed Laurell Reynolds, 60, scores of times on her head, stomach, leg, arms, back and hands as she fell to the ground inside the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station at about 3:30 a.m. on Friday. “They should’ve arrested him!” Reynolds, who is...

And there was a collective gulp heard ’round City Hall. I wouldn’t be surprised to find some of London Breed’s administrators forced into a life of crime to keep the street lights on…just kidding, just kidding. But “I don’t think we’ve reached the bottom yet” is all that encouraging, no? How bad was it? Well, now that they’ve toted everything up for last year, it’s looking grim. "The city’s transfer tax revenue—which is directly tied to the sale of buildings—has fallen off a cliff due to far fewer commercial properties trading hands. Home sales in San Francisco, which provide a...

The popular online job-searching website Indeed is offering its American employees and their immediate family members $10,000 for relocation expenses if they want to leave a state that has imposed restrictions on transgender medical services, such as rules that prohibit sex change surgeries for children according to a report from Axios. This also applies to states that prohibit other policies that the company believes restrict support for children who identify as transgender or nonbinary. The policy went into effect in July of 2023, but was first reported by Axios on Aug. 30. CNA could not reach Indeed for comment. "Our...

Did the 9/11 hijackers and plotters succeed? Can it finally be said, nearly twenty-two years after they murdered nearly three thousand people in New York and Washington, that they have attained their objectives? Back in 2003, Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people in which he explained, “The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.” Twenty years later, that very call will resound from loudspeakers all over the city that was his chief target on Sept. 11, 2001. (All the 9/11-was-an-inside-job types can find bin Laden taking responsibility for the attacks here). New York...

Researchers from Canada and Australia have published a study predicting a remarkable one billion deaths from climate change over the next 100 years. Citing a “scientific consensus,” the authors analyzed 180 studies on climate change and mortality, converging on a “1000-ton rule,” which means for every 1,000 tons of fossil fuel burned, a person dies. The article, published in the journal Energies, contends that “a future person is killed every time humanity burns 1000 tons of fossil carbon,” based on a calculation that “burning a trillion tons of fossil carbon will cause 2°C of anthropogenic global warming (AGW), which in...

In the 1944 motion picture, George Cukor's Gaslight, Ingrid Bergman is the new wife of Charles Boyer, who for sinister motives gradually attempts to drive her mad by sowing doubt in her mind about her own sanity as he attempts to get at her late aunt's jewels. It's a classic manipulation of an unsuspecting and vulnerable younger woman by an unscrupulous older man, and the title has entered the language as a synonym for emotional skullduggery. It also perfectly describes the series of malicious hoaxes lately being perpetrated upon the body politic by the "progressive" Left, hiding under the guise...

A "horrified" hospital employee at Kaiser Permanente leaked a sex change training for diversity, equity and inclusion, which promoted the idea that a 3-year-old can be transgender. "The employee, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job, was horrified," according to the Wednesday report from Libs of TikTok. As part of the hospital system's DEI training, medical employees were expected to watch a video with children explaining they knew they were transgender at age 3 and 4. "Many transgender people have ALWAYS known their true gender," the video said. "My name is Rose. I'm a transgender girl....

During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of SiriusXM’s “Stacy On The Right,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump touted his response to the coronavirus pandemic during his first term and stated that “we did such a great job with COVID.” And that he got things “back to a point where our country and our economy [were] doing well.” Trump said, [relevant remarks begin around 11:50] “[I]n 2016 and 2020, we did great. We did better in 2020 by a lot, by close to 12 million votes. We did better in 2020 than we did in 2016. Everyone...

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday warned humanity the world’s climate is breaking down, delivering his terrifying appraisal just weeks after declaring “the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived.” Guterres cited the E.U. monitoring body which said 2023 was likely to be the hottest year ever measured as evidence for his claim. Proxy data such as tree rings and ice cores were used by the scientists to compare modern temperatures with figures before records began in the mid-19th century. “The dog days of summer are not just barking, they are biting,” the...

@ChadPergram A) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) likely faces a battery of questions about his health today as Senate leadership press conferences resume after six weeks today. McConnell and other Republican leaders are expected to talk to reporters after 2 pm et.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Kyiv on Wednesday morning and is expected to announce hundreds of millions of dollars of new spending in addition to the billions of extra dollars expected from Washington this week. The visit by Blinken comes just hours after the city experienced a Russian missile attack and is another physical expression of support for Ukraine from its Western backers which has seen dozens of world leaders travel by special train to the country from neighbouring Poland. As well as a wreath-laying and meeting senior ministers, Blinken is due to see...

If diversity makes us stronger, why does it require lower standards? Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown Jr, Biden’s nominee to replace Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had signed off on a memo to impose a 43% quota for white male officers in the Air Force. That would be catastrophic at a time when the Air Force is struggling with recruitment, faces a shortage of over 1,000 pilots and 86% of its pilots are white men. Brown, who claimed that America is racist and that he faced racism when someone questioned whether he was...

ARLINGTON, Tenn. - The mother of a Mid-South transgender teen has filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Civil Rights division against the Arlington School District. “I’ve seen these posters since I was really small … and then I see it and it’s my dead name,” said Max Wieland, 17, the teen. A "dead name" is a term used by members of the LGBTQ+ community who elect to go by their chosen names instead of their given names. Max said the school displayed his dead name on a public display which listed academic honors. “So, I was walking down...

SALT LAKE CITY — The race for the Republican nomination for Utah's 2nd Congressional District seat remained close Tuesday night, though GOP convention winner Celeste Maloy developed a growing lead as the evening drew to a close. As the first counties began to report, Becky Edwards jumped out ahead of Maloy and Bruce Hough, but Maloy — who is from Cedar City — gained ground throughout the night and took a narrow lead after more than doubling Edwards' vote share in the latest results from Washington County.

A judge ruled on Tuesday that Georgia may resume enforcing its ban on hormone replacement therapy for transgender youth, putting the judge's previous order blocking the ban on hold. The ruling comes after a federal appeals court granted neighboring Alabama the ability to enforce a similar restriction last month and as GOP-led states across the country seek to prohibit gender transition treatment for people under 18-years-old. At least 22 states have enacted laws restricting or banning transgender treatment for minors and most of these states have been sued. Attorneys for the state of Georgia had asked Judge Sarah Geraghty to...

A female prisoner has claimed she was sexually assaulted by a trans inmate with male genitalia at an all women's jail. The inmate at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women, where she has been locked up since 2003, claims she was assaulted in September and October last year. She has now filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Corrections over the alleged lack of 'corrective action' taken by prison guards about the 'sexually aggressive and harassing behavior of the transgenders'. The department is accused of failing to implement actions to protect inmates even after 'two female inmates became...

@RepMTG What worries me more than anything is World War 3. The warmongers are crazy enough to put American troops on the ground in Ukraine to fight against Russia. It's time to broker peace, which is exactly why I will not vote to send one more penny to Ukraine.
