Controversial Daily Wire host Candace Owens dropped a lengthy screed on Instagram on Wednesday, in which she blasted America’s support for Israel and accused “political Jews” of creating anti-Semitism. Owens shared a post from fellow Daily Wire host Matt Walsh raging against foreign aid and began her rant by writing, “Further to that point I would like to say this.” “I grew up in a town that had a large Jewish community. For whatever reason my best friends throughout my childhood and early adulthood were always Jewish,” Owen began before discussing her connections to the Jewish community, having nannied for...

“Disappointed, frustrated and angry.” That is how New York City’s Public Schools chancellor David Banks described how he felt after the “remote-learning test” the bureaucrats decided they would impose on children in place of giving them a snow day off on Tuesday. “Disappointed, frustrated and angry,” is surely how millions of public school children felt too, when they were informed they would be “remote-learning,” instead of going to the park to build snowmen when they saw the forecast.

For many months, President Biden has been rallying global leaders to provide more military aid to Ukraine and pressing Congress to pass a multibillion-dollar aid package to help the country beat back Russian aggression. Former President Donald J. Trump has been undermining that effort, pressing Republicans to thwart it. But on Wednesday, Mr. Trump tried to flip the script, suggesting that he would do more to protect Ukraine than Mr. Biden, who he said would effectively cede Ukraine as a gift to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Speaking at a campaign event in North Charleston, S.C., Mr. Trump said...

Is this the grimmest hotel in Las Vegas? Customer reviews say Circus Circus is the biggest sin in the city after experiencing the 'nightmare' establishment this year. Guests claim their stays have been marred by dirty sheets, bedbug infestations, crumbling walls and crusty carpets at the 3,900-room Nevada hotel, which overlooks the Sphere.

Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reportedly planning to update guidance regarding patients with the Chinese coronavirus. Those who test positive no longer need to isolate themselves for five days, according to an article published Tuesday by the Washington Post. “The agency is loosening its covid isolation recommendations for the first time since 2021 to align it with guidance on how to avoid transmitting flu and RSV, according to four agency officials and an expert familiar with the discussions,” the report stated.

CNN — Why doesn’t scandal seem to matter anymore? According to one definition in Merriam-Webster, a scandal is a “circumstance or action that offends propriety or established moral conceptions or disgraces those associated with it.” Yet scandal in American politics doesn’t necessarily lead to disgrace (or at least disqualification) anymore. Former President Donald Trump tested this question more than any other elected official in modern times. As president, Trump experienced more moments that would traditionally be defined as a scandal than almost any other high official in recent memory, arguably surpassing his notorious predecessor, Richard Nixon. What was so notable...

Most of Europe, the U.S., and the West understandably supported arming Ukraine to repel Vladimir Putin’s Russian aggression. By contrast, such support for democratic Israel was strangely mixed. The Ukrainian and Israeli wars are similar and yet also different conflicts—but in more ways than we can imagine. Ukraine was invaded by a huge Russian state, with a population three-and-a-half times greater, a gross national product ten times larger, and an area thirty times its size. Hamas, by contrast, is a terrorist clique of about 50,000-70,000 gunmen and terrorist kingpins who run Gaza. It is dwarfed by the Israeli population (20...

Tony Bobulinski’s attorney, Stefan Passantino, ripped House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for misrepresenting his client’s testimony before the House impeachment inquiry on Tuesday. Bobulinski’s testimony was significant because he is one of the most knowledgeable and forthcoming former associates of the Bidens. Bobulinski provided House investigators with four key allegations about Joe Biden’s role in the family business:

Dick, The Man in the High CastleThe debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction.That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States still spends more on foreign aid than any other nation.The latest foreign aid spending bill includes $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.Since World War II, the U.S. has given more...

A Tennessee elementary school principal had tears streaming down her face as she was booked for allegedly covering up a student-teacher assault at her school. Fabre Ford, the principal of Southwest Elementary School in Fayette County, Tennessee, was arrested after allegedly withholding information about a fourth-grade student attacking a teacher with a Stanley Cup. According to deputies, fifth-grade social studies teacher Demetrious Bradley was left concussed after the child battered him with the large metal cup. After Ford allegedly blocked an internal school investigation into the attack and told people not to cooperate, she was arrested and charged with tampering...

Wednesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” former 2024 Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy declared former President Donald Trump was on “the path to mop the floor” with incumbent President Joe Biden in November’s election. Ramaswamy said he believed there were those in the Democratic Party plotting to replace Biden as the party’s nominee. “On one hand, you have a president who they say is too senile to stand trial,” Ramaswamy said of Biden. “Well, on the other hand, they say he’s perfectly fine to run the United States of America. Those two things can’t make sense at the same time. But I...

As Americans file returns this season, some worry about IRS audits amid agency efforts to ramp up service, technology and enforcement. Recent IRS enforcement has targeted high-income individuals, large corporations and complex partnerships. But everyday filers could still face an audit — and certain issues are more prone to IRS scrutiny, experts say. You don’t want to face the “audit lottery,” warned Ryan Losi, a certified public accountant and executive vice president of CPA firm Piascik. Audit rates of individual income tax returns decreased for all income levels from tax years 2010 to 2019, largely due to lower IRS funding,...

Witness the moral and fiscal confusion of New York’s welfare-obsessed leaders. The state’s Medicaid program is billions of dollars in the red. Gov. Hochul announced a plan last month to cut $1.2 billion in Medicaid funding, which she’ll finalize Thursday. Yet she’s also expanding Medicaid for children whose parents make too much money. She’s making a middle-class entitlement New York doesn’t need and can’t afford. Here’s the backstory.

During an event on Tuesday, February 13, Daily Wire podcast host Candace Owens spoke out about Taylor Swift, describing the liberal popstar as “the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed.” Her comments came during a “Backstage” event for DailyWire+ subscribers in which she spoke with Jeremey Boreing, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Matt Walsh. Beginning, Owens said, “Obviously, if you’ve seen what she’s even done in business and how she tries to manipulate her audiences like to get out of like, deals and contracts, she’s totally insane. Like she’s the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed. And what she does...

Where is the compassion? Where is the outrage? Where is the empathy for five precious children who were brutally slaughtered by abortion? Where is the justice? Why the coverup? Under absolutely no circumstances should the DC Medical Examiner discard the bodies of the five innocent children whose lives were taken in such a barbaric manner. If the DOJ is not going to fulfill its duty to investigate the potential federal crimes committed against these child victims, then Congress should immediately take up its own investigation and demand the preservation of evidence. When they were alive, these babies deserved to be...
