Following unprecedented rioting in Dublin on Thursday, November 23rd 2023, Conor McGregor took to social media addressing over 10 million followers. In a series of posts calling for anti-immigrant action from the public, he made a number of statements which include the following: “We are not losing any more of our women and children to sick and twisted people who should not even be in Ireland in the first place. Call it what you want. We do not care. May God help us all. Ireland for victory.” He also shared a photograph of the iconic O’Connell monument in Dublin city...

Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) decision to retire has made the Senate landscape in 2024 even more complicated for Democrats. The party was already facing an uphill slog to hold on to its Senate majority, as it prepared to protect seats in West Virginia, Montana and Ohio — three states where the GOP nominee for president will be heavily favored. Manchin’s name on the ballot suggested a competitive race. Without him, the Senate seat seems wrapped for the GOP as a gift. Losing the state would leave no room for another loss for Democrats if they hope to keep their majority,...

The man who bludgeoned former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer last year consumed a steady diet of right-wing conspiracy theories before an attack that took place with the midterm elections less than two weeks away. As the 2024 presidential campaign heats up, experts on extremism fear the threat of politically motivated violence will intensify. From "Pizzagate" to QAnon and "Stop the Steal," conspiracy theories that demonized Donald Trump's enemies are morphing and spreading as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination aims for a return to the White House. "No longer are these conspiracy theories and very...

[Make sure to read Daniel Greenfield’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]After Biden’s withdrawal, the fighting ended in Afghanistan and moved into Europe.Even before the Taliban takeover, a massive traffic in migrants and drugs flowed over the ‘Balkan Route’ that took Afghans into Iran, Turkey and then Eastern Europe. One of the biggest holes in Europe’s armor was the former Yugoslavia, illegally invaded and partitioned by the Clinton administration, with a large Muslim population in Bosnia and heavy criminal organizations across the former republic that tie together the Russian mob, local gangs,...

…Hand me a peppermint latte, shake some fake snow over me, and point me toward flickering trees in glistening Highland Park Village. I can feel my IQ diminishing, trickling down my leg. My face is already growing a vague “Joe Biden Wandering a Summit” smile as I sniff around for some egg nog…

"My mother did not deserve to come back this way," said Tal Amano, Avraham's daughter. "She came with a heartbeat of 40 and a body temperature of 28 degrees (82.4F), semiconscious and injured all over. She was kept in unfair conditions.".. "My mother is proof of the insane cruelty of this organization. All of the international rescue organizations must do everything, Israel needs to do everything, to make the aid accessible as quickly as possible. Every hour is critical. If she had arrived after one more day, she likely would not be here. She is fighting for her breaths."

This is the modern day left. Radical, Anti-Christian, Anti-American bullies and thugs. Godless thugs plotted to shut down the Ypsilanti, Michigan Christmas Tree Lighting on Sunday night. The protest was organized by radical anti-Israel leftists who are demanding a ceasefire resolution by the community leaders.

The United States government is on the verge of deploying new artificial intelligence technology (AI) weapons that can make decisions on whether to kill human targets. The frightening lethal autonomous weapons, which are being developed in the United States, China, and Israel, will automatically select humans deemed a “threat” to the system and eliminate them. Some critics have voiced fears that the deployment of AI weapons would entrust machines to make decision whether to kill human targets, with no human oversight, The New York Times reported. This is starting to sound like Skynet. The Mirror reported that Numerous countries, including...

Veteran Univision anchor Jorge Ramos blasted his network Saturday for hosting an interview with former President Donald Trump, charging it created “discomfort and uncertainty within the newsroom.” Ramos voiced his displeasure in an interview with fellow journalist Enrique Acevedo, saying the Trump interview “put in doubt the independence of our news department, and created discomfort and uncertainty within the newsroom.” “We cannot normalize behavior that threatens democracy and the Hispanic community, or offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories,” Ramos said. “We must question and fact-check everything he says and does. That’s why it is...

In early October, I wrote a blog on a social media “fatfluencer” whose very serious demands for widened hotel hallways and extra airplane seats for the morbidly obese had rolled her into my sphere of awareness. The young woman, who is in her mid-twenties, was petitioning businesses to adopt a “customer-of-size policy” and urging private establishments to provide “size-inclusive” amenities so that ultra-fat people could enjoy the same things as everyone else. But, at the time I penned the essay, I had no idea that in New York City, an ordinance of this very nature was already on the books,...

Over this time period, college graduates in the workforce increased from low single-digit percentages to 25%. With the working-age population peaking in 2011, upgrading the labor force has become a necessity. Happily, the investments have been made, and, barring a sudden collapse of the education system, China’s blue-collar workforce will transition to a white-collar one as retiring migrant workers are replaced by their college-educated children. College graduates in China’s workforce should exceed 70% by 2050. Of note, over 40% of China’s college graduates are STEM majors. This compares to 18% in the US, 35% in Germany, and 26% in the...

This is the modern day left. Radical, Anti-Christian, Anti-American bullies and thugs. Godless thugs plotted to shut down the Ypsilanti, Michigan Christmas Tree Lighting on Sunday night. The protest was organized by radical anti-Israel leftists who are demanding a ceasefire resolution by the community leaders. The group includes gays, antifa, socialists, and pro-Palestinian groups. These gays are not the sharpest tools in the shed. The radical, godless leftists ruined the night for Michigan families who wanted a night of Christmas carols and a tree lighting. Instead, the radical anti-Israel bullies chanted, “America is a terrorist state.” The Christmas crowd was...

Do you remember when the testosterone-driven “Top Gun” was the ultimate recruitment tool for the US Navy? It’s easy to see why—the movie was packed with adrenaline, rugged men, beautiful women, and plenty of what’s now termed “toxic masculinity.” Contrast that with today’s military, which has totally shifted focus. Instead of seeking out traditionally masculine men, their recruitment now heavily includes the LGBTQ community and men who wear pantyhose. This change might be why their recruitment numbers are in the toilet.The United States military’s newest recruitment tactic is taking a really bizarre turn. Gone are the days of scouting for...

North Virginia doctor Siavash Sobhani stated he was in “shock” after a State Department official allegedly told him his U.S. citizenship was stripped over a bureaucratic reason, according to The Washington Post. Sobhani, 61, who specializes in internal medicine, received a letter from a State Department official after applying for a new passport in February, according to the outlet. What the north Virginia doctor received, however, was not what he expected as he had gone through the passport renewal process several times previously without any issues. Sobhani was informed he should have never been granted citizenship in the first place...
