Two years after Nikki Haley vowed not to challenge Donald Trump for the presidential nomination, the former South Carolina governor who served in his administration and once called him a “friend” is becoming the standard-bearer of the movement to knock him out. In recent weeks, Haley has drawn a surge in support from Trump-skeptical Republicans across the GOP, including donors and organizers in early voting states. A group of former Tim Scott donors is preparing to host a fundraiser for her in Manhattan. Haley’s campaign events in New Hampshire this week required overflow rooms. And in Iowa — where Haley...

ALICE, Texas (AP) — In 1977, Associated Press reporter James W. Mangan’s exclusive interview with a South Texas election judge who detailed certifying false votes for Lyndon B. Johnson nearly three decades earlier made headlines across the country. With the win by an 87-vote margin in the 1948 Democratic primary runoff, Johnson, then a congressman, easily defeated his Republican opponent to take a seat in the U.S. Senate, and he eventually ascended to the presidency. Mangan spent three years pursuing the story, which pulled back the curtain on the victory that had drawn suspicions ever since election officials in rural...

Far leftists need to work extra-hard to convince Americans of their lies, especially after the huge anti-leftist election win in Argentina. Have you noticed that inconsistencies and contradictions always trip up leftist liars, especially when they try to project their own vile predispositions on the pro-freedom right? We all witnessed them marching around after the horrific terrorist attacks of Oct. 7, screaming Hitleresque slogans and chants, going full Nazi with antisemitism, and flashing swastikas. It was a virtue-signal veneer supporting terrorism in much the same way that fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. Too bad for them that they...

President Biden marked Transgender Day of Remembrance on Monday, calling the level of violence against transgender individuals “unacceptable.” “There is no place for hate in America and no one should be discriminated against simply for being themselves,” Biden said in a statement.“Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance we are reminded that there is more to do meet that promise, as we grieve the 26 transgender Americans whose lives were taken this year. While each one of these deaths is a tragedy – the true toll of those victimized is likely even higher, with the majority of those targeted being women...

Will artificial intelligence become the greatest boon to higher education since online learning? (This assumes that online learning was a boon, which is a topic for another day.) Or will it mean the utter destruction of academia as we know it? Those are the two views I see expressed most frequently these days, with various individuals I respect taking opposite sides. As someone who is naturally skeptical of this kind of over-the-top rhetoric, I believe the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Despite the forceful yet mixed messages surrounding AI and its applications to higher ed, I have so far...

This is the moment when the first grenade came over the wall while people were peacefully protesting. Note how packed the crowd is.

This is an interesting and sad read. Also illustrates how X/twitter is changing information and reporting A former Maryland mayor and LGBTQ activist was sentenced to 30 years in prison Monday after pleading guilty earlier this year to 140 charges related to child sex abuse pornography..... Wojahn said Buttigieg, who is also gay, was tasked with being his “buddy” at a gathering of mayors in Washington years before Buttigieg’s 2020 White House run. Buttigieg was the mayor of South Bend, Indiana at the time..... Four years later, Buttigieg would claim that he didn’t know Wojahn and they just happened to...

Scene outside a bar. Fool punched a Marine and then quickly regretted it.

Three years after Oregon voted to de-criminalize drug offences - residents are now begging to reverse their decision after seeing an astonishing number of deaths from opioid overdoses. In 2020 - Oregon voters approved a measure to decriminalize the possession of all drugs including heroin and cocaine. The proposal, known as Oregon Ballot Measure 110, passed with 58.8 percent support. Now residents of the liberal state are crying out to their politicians to do something about the open-air drug markets that their cities have turned into. Opioid deaths in Oregon have gone up from 280, before the de-criminalization was voted...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday that Washington D.C. "has abandoned us" in regards to the ongoing migrant crisis the city and other parts of the country are facing - days after he announced stinging budget cuts to education and policing due to the crisis. "D.C. has abandoned us, and they need to be paying their cost to this national problem," Adams said during a town hall in Brooklyn, according to Politico. The "sanctuary" city has seen over 130,000 migrants come into the city since last year, a relatively small number of which have been bussed in...

Probably the most often-used and controversial passage of Scripture by pro-ETH (extra-terrestrial hypothesis) UFOlogists is the account of “the sons of God” and their resultant offspring, the Nephilim. The description in Genesis 6:1–7 reads:When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in...

Democrat Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown took action against a member of his own hate crime task force on Tuesday after numerous antisemitic social media posts by the member surfaced, including a claim that the babies murdered in the brutal Oct. 7 Hamas attack were "fake." Zainab Chaudry, an anti-Israel activist who serves as the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) Maryland office, made the posts in the weeks following Hamas' attack, which saw more than 1,200 people killed, including children and babies, as well as numerous rapes and destruction of property. "The Office of Attorney General learned...

In schools cross America, counselors, teachers, and other staff groom vulnerable children to accept “transgender” identities. This often leads to mental health problems, hormone treatments, family disruption, and more. It’s a huge nightmare for parents.But MassResistance has derailed it in one school district in Texas.The Humble Independent School District (ISD) comprises parts of northeast Houston and adjoining suburbs. It’s also the home district of Tracy Shannon, our hard-hitting Texas MassResistance leader.

By now, it’s clear that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is driving a rift into progressive, liberal, and Democratic Party ranks that may be as deep as the one caused by the Vietnam War. Whether it will be as lasting as the divisions of the ’60s remains to be seen. What is clear now, however, is that the political consequences this time around may be much more severe. Absent the Vietnam War, Hubert Humphrey would probably not have lost the 1968 presidential election to Richard Nixon. In a Biden-Trump contest next year, Israel-Palestine could be one more nail in the Democrats’ coffin....

Stephen Gardner update. The interview features Vince Ellison, who argues that the Democratic Party is actively trying to turn America into a Marxist nation. He claims they are evil, supporting things like atheism, Marxism, abortion, open borders, and drug trafficking. Ellison states they have a long history of trying to legally murder Americans, dating back to supporting slavery and later abortion. Ellison also discusses the history of racism and the Ku Klux Klan, arguing they were connected to the Democratic Party, not the Republicans. He explains how the Democrats have kept black communities poor and under their control. The discussion...
