It's one of the wealthiest states in America, with residents of its fanciest zip code luxuriating in $3 million red-brick apartments. But the writing is on the wall for Massachusett, says an alarming new study. The 50,000 non-legal migrants who've entered the state since Joe Biden became president are putting a costly strain on schools, healthcare, and other services. Jessica Vaughan, author of the report for the Center for Immigration Studies , says the state is destined for bankruptcy. That's because migrants will drain state coffers of a staggering $1.8 trillion over the next two years. Even though some non-legal...

Kamala Harris represents the most dangerous kind of politician. At her core, she’s a Marxist tyrant and a radical left-wing activist. Yet, when the spotlight hits her, she sheds her skin like a snake, adopting the guise of a semi-centrist. But we all know that’s just an act. Once in power, Kamala will rip off her semi-centrist mask and reveal her true identity—Kamala Jong Un. Her track record is a disaster. This is the woman who championed the wildly dangerous and unpopular “Defund the Police” movement, and supported a soft-on-crime bail fund that put violent George Floyd rioters, murderers, and...

Open Way Church in Vancouver, Canada, is among the most demonic we’ve ever encountered. Led by impastors Beth Carlson-Malena and Mark Fox, their ‘church values’ and ‘beliefs are a thing to behold. Not only do they only gather in person as a corporate body once a month, because of their fear of COVID, which “is not over yet.” Their church bio explains that they practice an “anti-racist and decolonizing faith” built by “queering power” while advocating for an “anti-oppressive, margins-centering approach to structures and practices.” They also “encourage curiosity and risky questions, leaving room for wonder and mystery and the...

As the 2024 presidential election season reaches a fever pitch, a poll of a different kind has tracked our nation’s precipitous decline in history and civics education. Last year, the “nation’s report card,” a biannual study put out by the National Center for Education Statistics on the basis of a nationally administered standardized test, found that only 13 percent of American eighth grade students were proficient in history, while just 22 percent showed proficiency in civics. Earlier this month, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) released a report titled “Losing America’s Memory 2.0,” a data-point survey administered in...

Hidden deep within the new omnibus bill is a secret provision to allow the federal government to electronically track all cattle in the United States. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) warned about the hidden provision on X, stating that lobbyists will receive $15 million in taxpayer funds to unleash the electronic tracking grid on the nation’s meat-producing cows and bison.

The Paris Olympic Ceremony: Not Simply Bad Taste, but an Act of War against Christian CivilizationAmong the many symbolic events of our time, the grotesque spectacle that opened the Paris Olympics on July 26, 2024, cannot simply be dismissed as a show of bad taste or a cultural provocation.
