We’ve been on the Balanced Nutrition (BN) story for about a year now. The NC Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) has been looking at the Robinson family business for at least two years. The whole affair appears to be culminating in an investigation by DHHS. For the last two days, the drive-by media has joined us in covering the initial findings of the initial DHHS probe. DHHS’s report on its initial findings was released hours before President Trump was slated to speak in Charlotte. As the top of the state’s GOP ticket, Mark Robinson was expected to...

American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal: “We need the blood of women, children, and the elderly [of Gaza]... so it awakens our revolutionary spirit.” Ismail Haniyeh was an agent of death who did not care about the Palestinian people. His desire to murder Jews and Israelis trumped even the lives of his own children. July 31, 2024.

President Donald Trump has warned that the White House is currently being run by a group of “fascists, communists,” and “Marxists.”“I’m the opposite of a threat to democracy — they’re a threat to democracy,” Trump said of Democrats during an interview with Laura Ingraham on her Fox News show.“I mean, look at what they just did.”Trump said on “The Ingraham Angle” that Democrats participated in a “coup” by replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket.

Middle managers might be using “wokeness” to climb the ladder at work and keep their jobs during tough times, according to a new paper. “We suggest that going woke is an emergent strategy that is largely shaped by middle managers,” wrote Nicolai Foss, a strategy professor at Copenhagen Business School, and Peter Klein, an entrepreneurship and corporate innovation professor at Baylor University. “Wokeness arises from middle managers and support personnel using their delegated responsibility and specialist status to engage in woke internal advocacy, which may increase their influence and job security.”

Top podcaster Joe Rogan warned this week that Vice President Kamala Harris will win the presidency because Americans are buying into the "bulls---" anti-Trump narrative more than ever before. During a new episode of "The Joe Rogan Podcast" featuring commentator Michael Malice as a guest, Rogan insisted that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Harris will win because of how much liberals are aligned against former President Trump. "She’s gonna win," Rogan insisted Tuesday, arguing that people are so manipulated by the media that they will pull the lever for her. He explained, "I feel like we are in this very bizarre...

A viral video that one of the attendees of former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, filmed shows an individual running across a roof — the same roof Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump from — minutes before the tragedy, which claimed the life of one attendee and injured three others, including Trump. Fox News first obtained the video — which James Copenhaver, one of the victims injured at the July 13 rally, filmed. In the video, an individual can be seen scurrying across the roof where Crooks later took the shots. According to Fox News, the video was taken...

According to a Live Science report, a 13-year-old hiker discovered a greenish ring estimated to be about 1,800 years old at Khirbet Shalala, an archaeological site in northern Israel.

The price of crude oil increased Wednesday as concerns worsen over a new conflict in the Middle East after an apparent Israeli air strike killed the leader of Hamas inside Iran.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in the early hours of Wednesday inside a home in Tehran after he attended the inauguration of Iran’s new president. Israel has not taken responsibility for the strike, though the country’s military vowed to eliminate Hamas and its leaders in the...

The classic 2010 essay in which I called for what became "Make America Great Again", and explained why it was necessary. he left often says (though perhaps not in quite these words) that when the Cold War ended Republicans lost their metanarrative. Republicans reflexively deny this, since the implication is that we have no raison d’etre, and that America can and ought now get about the work of building the secular democratic socialist workers paradise since there’s no one left to kill us (if there ever was before). …. “It is common sense that if jobs are flowing to China...

A prominent, nationally recognized legal team that has represented former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis ever since she was attacked by LGBT radicals for following her biblical beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman is reporting a new round of death threats against the Christian champion. "Kim Davis and Liberty Counsel need your prayers for protection. Hateful LGBTQ adherents are back at it with death threats. Just one example reveals the evil in the hearts of those people: Kim's husband answered a phone call. The angry caller threatened he would tie up Kim's husband while he raped...

Former President Donald Trump launched a racially insensitive attack against presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday, falsely questioning her racial background in a contentious appearance in Chicago. During a panel discussion at the conference of the National Association of Black Journalists, the Republican nominee for president said his opponent for the White House "happened to turn Black" a number of years ago. Asked about some Republicans labeling Harris as a "DEI hire," Trump, after bickering with ABC's Rachel Scott over the definition of DEI, responded: "I've known [Harris] a long time indirectly, not directly, very much. And she was...

A declassified FBI document confirms longstanding suspicions of the agency's active involvement with Patriot Front for years. With 950 pages of details (heavily redacted), it’s evident that numerous federal assets are deeply embedded within the organization. Interestingly, the group's only documented criminal activity appears to be the illegal placement of posters on public and private property. I'll post links to the FBI's documents (again, not terribly interesting given the fact they've been heavily redacted).

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has still not held a single press conference ten days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the election and said she would take his place. After Biden ended his reelection campaign and knighted Harris as his successor on July 21, the vice president was granted numerous endorsements from Democrat leaders, including former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and several blue-state governors, such as Gavin Newsom (CA), Josh Shapiro (PA), and J.B Pritzker (IL). As Harris has become the presumptive nominee without receiving a single primary vote, she leaves...

U.S. District Judge Peter Sheridan's 69-page opinion says he was compelled to rule as he did because of the Supreme Court's rulings in firearms cases, particularly the 2022 Bruen decision that expanded gun rights. Sheridan's ruling left both 2nd Amendment advocates and the state attorney general planning appeals. The judge temporarily delayed the order for 30 days. Pointing to the high court's precedents, Sheridan suggested Congress and the president could do more to curb gun-related violence nationwide. “It is hard to accept the Supreme Court’s pronouncements that certain firearms policy choices are ‘off the table’ when frequently, radical individuals possess...
