A University of Wisconsin chancellor was fired from his position Wednesday after it was revealed that he’d made and distributed pornography with his wife. UW-La Crosse chancellor Joe Gow, 63, was fired Wednesday in a unanimous vote by colleagues, following revelations that he’d been filming and releasing homemade pornography with his wife, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

President Biden took a swipe at Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for failing to mention slavery while responding to a question about the cause of the Civil War. Reposting a video of Haley’s response during a town hall in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Biden offered a response on X, the social media platform formerly called Twitter: “It was about slavery.” The video captured the exchange between Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, and a New Hampshire voter who asked the White House hopeful about the cause of the Civil War.

For most of Western history art was used as a way for patrons to showcase achievements or propagandize citizens or lionize individuals. Maybe the single greatest artist in human history, Michelangelo, created his greatest works for patrons of various sorts. David created for the Florentine Guild of Wool, the Pieta for the French ambassador to the Holy See and the Sistine Chapel, and St Peter's Basilica for popes. Art was, in one way or another an homage to something greater than its creator. Fast-forward about three centuries and the art world begun to change. Art as an indulgence of artists,...

The current conflict in Ukraine is a direct result of the failure of the Minsk Agreements. Between 2014 and 2015, Russia and the European Union mediated negotiations between the breakaway republics of Donbass and the Kiev government, reaching a mutually beneficial protocol that was expected to guarantee regional peace. However, the terms of the pact were never respected by the Ukrainian regime, which continued to constantly attack the republics and advance its project of “de-Russification” and ethnic cleansing.

Former President Donald Trump put out a video message Tuesday night urging his supporters to turn out for the 2024 Republican Iowa caucus in 20 days, but also accused his opponents of cheating. Trump began the video clip by thanking his “Trump caucus captains” and urging them to “turn out” their voters on caucus night. Trump, in typical fashion, then accused the process of being rigged by his opposition. “And that’s what you have to do. You know, the other side does cheat!” he insisted, adding: "And we’re not going to let that happen. We cannot let that happen. But...

Despite sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy has not suffered. Russia has been hit with huge economic sanctions since it invaded Ukraine nearly two years ago. But the Russian economy has remained strong, defying many economists' expectations.

Shocking video shows the moment three gunmen ambushed a vehicle in Queens Tuesday night, killing a mother who was sitting in the front passenger seat and wounding the driver. Clarisa Burgos, 28, was in a black Honda sedan that was pulled over near 127th Street and Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill when she and the 39-year-old male driver came under fire just before midnight. Burgos was shot once in the head and died on the spot, police said. “We’ve raised her in a good way, with love,” her aunt told The Post before closing the door Wednesday.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley sparked a backlash on social media, including from conservatives, after she was asked about the cause of the Civil War and didn't mention slavery in her answer. Haley, who served six years as South Carolina's governor and then two years as the ambassador to the United Nations, was asked by a voter during a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, on Wednesday to identify the cause of the Civil War. "I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run," she said. "The freedoms and what people could and...

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav met with Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish on Tuesday in New York City to discuss a possible merger, Axios has learned from multiple sources. Why it matters: The combination would create a news and entertainment behemoth that would likely trigger further industry consolidation. Zaslav also has spoken to Shari Redstone, who owns Paramount's parent company, about a deal. WBD's market value was around $29 billion as of Wednesday, while Paramount's was just over $10 billion, so any merger would not be of equals. Details: The meeting between Zaslav and Bakish, which sources say lasted...

When the emphasis in elections shifts from turning out conventional in-person voters to chasing mail-in ballots, we have entered a qualitatively different electoral world than the one we inhabited before.. Since 2020, elections have been under assault by a complex of leftist lawyers, nonprofits, and election activists as they attempt to implement schemes and introduce administrative changes that fundamentally transform the way elections are conducted. Most of these changes have been undertaken in the interest of promoting mass mail-in voting. The objective of mail-in voting activists is an electoral world in which polls, historical trends, economic issues, messaging, voter enthusiasm,...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded to a question on an uptick in most violent crime categories in the city in 2023 by stating that homicides and shootings have fallen and money “for restoration and reparations” will help address the “cycle of violence” in the city.

The Biden administration has continued the modern Democrat tradition of perverse federal land use policy. It comes as a surprise to most Americans that the federal government owns nearly one-third of the nation’s land mass, in excess of 640 million acres. (It also owns 1.7 billion acres of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), but that is another story.) Most know of the National Park Service in the Department of the Interior and its 80 million acres of parks, preserves, reserves, monuments, memorials, historic sites, battlefields, and recreation areas, in every state. Many Americans may be familiar with the 141 national...

On Wednesday’s “CNN News Central,” co-host Kate Bolduan remarked that “2023 was a tough year for the economy” and it was “even tougher for the housing market.” And CNN Business Correspondent Rahel Solomon stated that while mortgage rates will decline in 2024, “it’s not going to be significant,” but it’ll hopefully lead to more listings and help affordability. Bolduan began the segment by saying, “2023 was a tough year for the economy, to say the least, and even tougher for the housing market. Mortgage rates reached a 23-year high, home sales sank to a 13-year low, add that together with...

ASHINGTON – A conservative will win the Republican nomination to replace longtime Rep. Michael Burgess in a Denton-based congressional district. The question is what flavor of conservative. Brandon Gill, a 29-year-old unknown to local activists until a month ago, is already basking in former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. His biggest rival is Scott Armey, the former Denton County judge and son of Dick Armey, the tea party godfather and House majority leader who held the seat before Burgess. Gill worked with his father-in-law Dinesh D’Souza on 2000 Mules, a film purporting to expose massive fraud in the 2020 election. Rivals...

The West shares an old problem with the rest of the world: the constant menace of totalitarian zealots determined to interfere in the lives of others, however they brand themselves ideologically, citing religious or political dogma. What sets the West apart is that it has actually been the home of free thought since the Enlightenment. However, the pressure on freedom worldwide has been growing; there is no such thing as eternal peace. Civilization depends on solidly founded institutions for its lasting protection against barbarism—and as always, the Jews are the canary in the coalmine. Totalitarianism, whether it marches under the...

United States District Judge for the District of Idaho, B. Lynn Winmill, has granted a motion for preliminary injunction to block the January 1, 2024 implementation of House Bill 71, which was signed into law following the 2023 Idaho Legislative session. HB71, also called the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, was written by the Idaho Family Policy Center and sponsored by Representative Bruce Skaug. The legislation was written to stop hormone changing drugs, puberty blocking drugs, and sex-change surgeries from being prescribed for minor children in Idaho for the reasons of ‘gender dysphoria’ and transitioning children from their birth sex to...
