Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro interviewed Dr. Eithan Haim, the whistleblower for the bombshell story about secretive transgender surgeries for minors at the Texas Children’s Hospital, who was hit with targeted harassment by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice. As The Daily Wire reported, Haim said for him the story all started in September 2022, when he saw The Daily Wire’s investigation of Vanderbilt University’s transgender clinic, where so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors was described as a “big money maker” and irreversible treatments such as double mastectomies were being performed on children.” He then learned that the hospital where...

A pro-Palestinian speaker issued a call to "normalize massacres" during a demonstration in London on Saturday in support of a cease-fire in Gaza, prompting police to look into the matter. Pro-Palestinian supporters had marched through central London as part of a global day of action against Israeli military action against Hamas in Gaza. Video has circulated on social media of one speaker, Palestinian activist Mohammed el-Kurd, addressing a crowd gathered in Parliament Square. "I dare you to look into the eyes of a Gazan child and tell him you tried your best," he told the crowd. "Our day will come....

Ukrainian Army frontline personnel speaking to the New York Times have widely reported devastating damage from a new wave of Russian air strikes using glide bombs. Personnel told the American paper that while long having suffered from near constant artillery attacks, since the spring they had endured “the additional devastating power” of these glide bombs. They stressed that these bombs were obliterating their underground bunkers and carried up to 500kg of explosives each. One serviceman compared the impact of Russian glide bomb strikes to “hell’s gates,” stressing that the Russian Air Force “would send them two by two by two,...

According to a recent POLITICO news report, during the 2020 World Economic Forum in Davos, then US President Donald Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in a private meeting, the following: “you need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you, and by the way NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO.” Trump said so according to Europe’s Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was also there, with von der Leyen and former European Commissioner for Trade Phil Hogan. Breton is quoted...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday vowed to stay in the presidential race for the “long haul” despite a poor showing in the final Iowa poll before Monday’s caucuses. “We’ve got a huge number of people that have committed to caucus, and we expect that these are the people that turn out,” DeSantis told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” before a slate of events in Iowa. “We’re in this for the long haul. We understand that you got to win a majority of the delegates. We understand that that there’s a long process here, but we’re going...

The White House praised Hertz, one of the four largest car rental companies in the world, for its efforts to "substantially increase" electric vehicle (EV) rentals months before the company announced it would largely abandon EVs over increasing costs. On Thursday, Hertz Global Holdings announced in financial filings that it made the "strategic decision" to sell approximately 20,000 EVs from its U.S. fleet, or about one-third of its global EV fleet. According to the documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Hertz's sales of EVs began in December and will continue in an orderly fashion throughout 2024, and a...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was hilariously heckled by a New Yorker in her district, who asked if she would condemn Hamas and quizzed her on her knowledge of the three branches of government, referencing a past gaffe. The heckler also called her “a loser” and sarcastically praised her performance. “Oh, AOC! Oh, hey… you’re gonna condemn Hamas and the terrorist attacks here or what?” “Do you know the three branches of government yet?” they yelled. “It’s executive, judicial, and legislative branches,” he said sarcastically. “You’re doing a great job,” he added with sarcasm.

Democrats Learn the Lesson of 1860. The Lincoln and Trump elections flipped the card table of American politics. As in 1860, there was no middle ground in 2016 between the two factions. One works to preserve the United States. The other despises first American principles, publicly rejected the President-elect, and pursues disunion. This faction is called the Democrat Party. Compromise is possible when the parties differ on how to reach a common goal. Every sale in the marketplace is a compromise. The seller is satisfied with a certain sale point just as the buyer has a buy point. Equally motivated...

New York makes it easier to get an abortion than adopt a baby thanks partly to a bombshell Hochul administration edict, critics rail. Adoptive and would-be adoptive parents and their lawyers are blasting a rule recently evoked by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Children and Family Services that limits the financial support adoptive families can give even out-of-state birth mothers. The controversial restriction, which covers birth moms in New York, too, says financial help can only be made 60 days before the baby is born and 30 days after birth, severely hindering help for the biological moms at crucial times...

No Labels, the centrist organization plotting a potential 2024 presidential ticket, has 13 possible candidates to challenge a rematch of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. The group is expected to determine sometime after March 15 whether to put forward a unity ticket. If Trump appears to be the likely Republican nominee, No Labels is most inclined to announce its choice for a president and vice president alternative, according to the group. No Labels has found that a potential ticket with a Republican presidential nominee coupled with a Democratic vice presidential nominee performs better than the opposite scenario....

The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has given states two years to implement all the changes outlined in its new 1,100-page manual released last month, including rules that spells out how signs and other traffic control devices are regulated. Administration officials said overhead electronic signs with obscure meanings, references to pop culture or those intended to be funny will be banned in 2026... Among those that will be disappearing are messages such as “Use Yah Blinkah” in Massachusetts; “Visiting in-laws? Slow down, get there late,” from Ohio; “Don’t drive Star Spangled Hammered,” from Pennsylvania; “Hocus pocus, drive with focus” from New...

Russian-state television pundit Aleksandr Sytin recently warned that life "keeps getting worse" in Russia amid its war with Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, claiming to seek the "denazification" of the Eastern European country's government and hoping for a quick victory. Nearly two years later, Ukraine's stronger-than-anticipated defense effort has blocked Russian advances, and both sides continue fighting for control of eastern Ukrainian territory. The Russian military has faced myriad challenges amid the conflict, including troubles recruiting and maintaining well-trained, disciplined troops. Military analysts have noted that Putin's troops lack motivation, and questions...

'It’s time to get on with the work of beating Biden & saving America.' One day before Florida’s Governor participates in the Iowa caucuses, the state’s senior Senator is endorsing Donald Trump. “It’s time to get on with the work of beating Biden & saving America,” asserted Marco Rubio Sunday, in a clear blow to Gov. Ron DeSantis. “When Trump was in WH I achieved major policies I had worked on for years (like expanded Child Tax Credit & tough sanctions on regime in Cuba & Venezuela) because we had a President who didn’t cave to special interests or let...

Margaret Brennan: ...Houthis there say the motivation here is they're trying to get back at Israel's allies. That's a justification they're using for attacking some of these ships, does the US assess that these coalition strikes will deter the Houthis who are now bracing for a retaliation and an open-ended conflict? John Kirby: I think it'd be pollyannaish for us to think that there couldn't or may not be some kind of retaliatory strike by the Houthis, we're watching this very closely, we have taken the requisite necessary precautions in the region, to make sure we're ready for that, should...

DES MOINES, Iowa — Most likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers say they’ll vote for former President Donald Trump in the general election if he’s the GOP nominee, regardless of the candidate they’re supporting on caucus night. That is, except supporters of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, with nearly half of them — 43% — saying they’d vote for Democratic President Joe Biden over Trump. These new findings from the latest NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll of Iowa further illustrate the degree to which Haley is bringing in support from independents, Democrats and Republicans who have been uneasy with Trump’s takeover of...
