Carlson is far less kind about his colleagues in the press. “They're all fearful people,” the 54-year-old scoffs. Instead of holding the powerful to account, “they do exactly the opposite.” Indeed, “they do their bidding.” Looking ahead to the Presidential elections in 2024, he says: “They're trying to put Trump in prison for the crime of running against Joe Biden … That's what this election's about. Are we going to allow that, or aren't we? And I just don't think we can.”

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Sept. 23. Dispatches from Gen. ROSECRANS, dated Chattanooga, 3 and 5 P.M., Sept. 22, (yesterday after noon,) were received by the Government this morning, from which it appears that the enemy's attack open Gen. THOMAS' corps (ROSECRANS' left) on Mon day afternoon was handsomely repulsed, and Gen. THOMAS' forces marched quietly to the position they were about to take when assaulted. The official dispatches of Monday evening stated that two divisions of Gen. LONGSTREET's corps were advancing upon Gen. ROSECRANS' left at 4 o'clock that afternoon. It turned out, however, that this movement was merely for the purpose...

Researchers have shown in a mouse model and lab cultures that a compound derived from hops reduces the abundance of a gut bacterium associated with metabolic syndrome. Patients are considered to have metabolic syndrome if they have at least two of the following: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low levels of "good" cholesterol, and high levels of triglycerides. Researchers for years have been studying the potential health benefits of xanthohumol, a chemical found in hops, and its derivatives including tetrahydroxanthohumol. The latter is commonly abbreviated to TXN, the former to XN. XN is a polyphenol, a type...

Africans are responsible for 52 percent of crimes on public transport while making up just 3.2 percent of the population.. Last year, 69 percent of violent robberies and other violent crimes, including sexual assaults, on public transport in the greater Paris region of Île-de-France were perpetrated by foreign nationals, according to the annual figures of the SSMSI, the statistics bureau of the French Ministry of Interior. However, looking closer at the data, it is revealed that Africans alone are responsible for 52 percent of such crimes while only representing 3.2 percent of the population of France. Even for all of...

Pharmacy giant Rite Aid is negotiating terms of a bankruptcy plan that could see a significant number of its more than 2,100 drugstores permanently close, according to a report. People familiar with the company's talks with creditors told the Wall Street Journal that Rite Aid has proposed to close as many as 500 stores in bankruptcy, and either sell or let creditors take over its remaining operations. One group of bondholders wants to liquidate a larger number of stores, and there is an ongoing discussion on the number of stores to be closed, the Journal reported. Given the conversations remain...

With six kids under the age of 15 to support, Stephen Booth, a police officer for the Air Force in Kansas, doesn’t have room in his budget for a missed paycheck. But like millions of other government employees across the country, Booth is bracing for his pay to stop indefinitely at the end of the month as Congress careers toward a government shutdown. House Republicans left Thursday unable to reach a compromise within their ranks over a new budget, including funds for the Defense Department, with a handful of conservative holdouts demanding additional spending cuts. Unless Congress acts, the federal...

n 2022, Jon Lauck published The Good Country: A History of the American Midwest, 1800-1900. His book describes a wonderful range of things to love about the 19th-century Midwest: its democratic civic ethos, the enduring Midwestern commitment to antislavery that resulted from the Northwest Ordinance’s original prohibition of the practice, and the wildfire-spread of co-educational colleges in the region. Lauck also adorns his book with wonderful quotations, which illustrate points such as the Midwestern love of literature that made it the talk of every table. “When William Dean Howells was visiting Representative James A. Garfield in Hiram, Ohio, in the...

City’s new landmarks are struggling office buildings and a shopping mall losing tenants.. As it rolls toward downtown San Francisco, the California Street cable car passes the gothic Grace Cathedral and an 8-foot tall statue of Tony Bennett. Then riders start to see the city’s newest landmarks. Among them is 650 California Street, a 34-story office building that has defaulted on its mortgage. Further on is 101 California, whose second-biggest tenant left last year and whose biggest is slashing staff and office space. Go around the corner, and Embarcadero Square is for sale for $90 million. Its owner bought it...

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Sunday declined to call on Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) to resign after his Democratic colleague was indicted on federal corruption and bribery charges. In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash, Durbin insisted that while the charges were “very serious,” Menendez is entitled to the presumption of innocence and that the decision of whether to resign must be made by Menendez and his constituents.

Radical leftist policies in higher education, inflicted under the guise of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI),” appear to be facing increasing opposition, Daily Signal Columnist Jarrett Stepman says. In a column published on September 13, Stepman references a report in the New York Times discussing how DEI has become a hiring standard at colleges and universities, notably through diversity statements, as “nearly half the large universities in America require that job applicants write such statements.” Generally, diversity statements assess the way in which potential hires adhere to DEI talking points. One such example is the diversity viewpoint standards outlined by...

President Joe Biden is struggling to connect with Americans across a variety of critical issues as former President Donald Trump enjoys a commanding 10-point lead over his anticipated rival for the White House in 2024, polling released Sunday shows. A Washington Post-ABC News poll reveals Democrat Biden lacking engagement with a skeptical public, with dissatisfaction growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, a rising share saying the U.S. is doing too much to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia and broad concerns about his age as he seeks a second term.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Hebrews 10:35-36 (King James Version) Have the Repubs surrendered yet on the debt increase bill? McCarthey's wimps run from a fight like an Asian on MLK Blvd at midnight. It is understandable for Repubs since every time they have a fight in the Capitol it is always ten to one since the entire Communist Establishment is against them and have very little support on their side. Even though...

President Joe Biden reportedly told Volodymyr Zelensky during a White House meeting this week that the U.S. will send Ukraine long-range ATACMS missiles, amid growing questions about the continued funding of the war. In addition to the $325 million military aid package, Biden reportedly pledged during a meeting with Zelensky on Thursday to supply the war-torn country with ATACMS missiles. The long-range missiles, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away, would represent a significant upgrade for the Ukrainian forces, which currently only have missiles capable of striking at a range of around 150 miles.

A group of New York Democrats are calling for a tax hike on the wealthy to help pay for New York’s migrant crisis. The group of 20 New York Democrats, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), released a statement on Monday blasting the government’s response to the migrant crisis and pitching a litany of measures that the city, state, and federal government can take to help. Several of the lawmakers self-identify as Democratic socialists. One proposal the group put forth is to increase state taxes on the top 5% of New Yorkers and have that money go towards homeless and migrant...

They’re hungry, hungry mollusks. Thousands of historic shipwrecks sunk in the American Great Lakes are at risk of being lost forever thanks to invasive, wood-destroying mussels. The lakes are home to an estimated 6,000 shipwrecks, with some dating back to the 17th century, according to estimates from the University of Buffalo. The Quagga mussel, originally native to the waters of Russia and Ukraine, is believed to have arrived in the Great Lakes in 1989 — possibly as a result of ballast dumps from transoceanic freighters traversing the lakes. The population of Quagga mussels has exploded in the waters of the...

New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim launched a primary challenge to Sen. Bob Menendez on Saturday as more Democrats joined the call for the senior Democratic senator to resign after an indictment on federal bribery charges. “After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said ‘I am not going anywhere.’ As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity,” Kim said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Menendez and his wife, Nadine, are accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars...

Drivers in New Jersey have been greeted with roadway signs that read, "Suspect Terrorism? See Something, Say Something," with a tip line number to report threats. These signs are part of a public safety campaign launched last month by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) in partnership with the state Department of Transportation and New Jersey Turnpike Authority. But their sudden appearance on major highways, with little notice or fanfare, has alarmed state residents. "This makes me think that there’s an underlying thing going on that’s not public yet," said Nanalapan resident Laura Brunetti in an...

Progressive ideology permeates American education. Such is the “rapid growth” of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in higher education and the demand for assent to their core tenets that, according to The New York Times, “[n]early half the large universities in America require that job applicants write” statements that affirm belief in and demonstrate devotion to race-conscious measures that ensure equality of outcome based on skin color and ethnic heritage. To bolster its hegemony, universities punish dissent from progressive orthodoxy. To question on campus whether America really is divided into an oppressor and an oppressed class; to doubt that discrimination...
