She claimed to be Indian. Now she's black. FAUX BLACK KAMALA!

The most confident prediction I can make about this upcoming election is that black men who don’t vocally support Vice President Kamala Harris will be treated with the same contempt as the 53% of white women who voted for President Trump in 2016. The attacks have already begun. MSNBC host Joy Reid recently claimed that black men with traditional values are “white-adjacent.” Social media is rife with stern warnings to black men who don’t fall in line. This type of public slander is not new. In 2020, Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper called black men voting for Trump “traitorous MFs.”...

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent notice that this blog is now being formally “reviewed” by NewsGuard, a company that I just criticized in a prior Hill column as a threat to free speech. The questions from NewsGuard were revealing and concerning. Today, I have posted the response of NewsGuard’s co-founder Gordon Crovitz as well as my response to his arguments. Here are is the column: Recently, I wrote a Hill column criticizing NewsGuard, a rating operation being used to warn users, advertisers, educators and funders away from media outlets based on how it views the...

CHICAGO - Donald Trump falsely questioned Kamala Harris' race during an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago that quickly turned hostile on Wednesday. The Republican former president claimed that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, had in the past only promoted her Indian heritage.

On Saturday, Hezbollah, an Iran-sponsored terrorist group, attacked a sports center in Golan, killing 12 children and teenagers. A few days later, an Israeli airstrike killed a top Hezbollah commander in retaliation. Yesterday, another airstrike killed a senior leader of Hamas, another Iran-sponsored terrorist group. The bold strike took place in Iran's capital of Tehran. The views of experts on the region are reflected in this Financial Times column: "The risk of all-out Middle East war is rising sharply." CNN This Morning devoted a long opening segment to the ominous situation in the 6 am hour Wednesday. Meanwhile, over on...

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) called out grant recipients from the Inflation Reduction Act that they say are "anti-American."

Tina Peters, former Clerk & Recorder of Mesa County, is on trial battling Federal election machine tampering charges. Peters has been involved with Mike Lidell (he has helped cover many of her legal bills) and had her home raided while she attended Lindell's cybersecurity event. She is claiming she has evidence that the Secretary of State erased files from Mesa County election machines that was supposed to be stored for a specific period of time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The man accused of being the main plotter in al-Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has agreed to plead guilty, the Defense Department said Wednesday. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two accomplices in the attack are expected to enter the pleas at the military commission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as soon as next week. The U.S. agreement with the men to enter into a plea agreement comes more than 16 years after their prosecution began for al-Qaeda’s attack, and more than 20 years after militants flew commandeered commercial airliners into buildings, killing nearly 3,000 people. Families of many of...

Navy sailors who faced disciplinary actions related to their refusal to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine mandate on account of religion can correct their service records and protect their careers as part of a recently settled lawsuit. The settlement, which was approved by a Texas federal judge last week, involves a lawsuit filed in 2021 on behalf of 26 Navy SEALs and several other Special Warfare sailors. The suit alleged that the service and the Defense Department had violated the First Amendment rights of service members who had religious objections to the vaccine mandate. It also claimed that the Navy...

Joe Biden is the most activist president ever on gun control, putting thousands of gun dealers out of business by the middle of last year for trivial paperwork mistakes. He used government regulations to “debank” gunmakers and dealers, and those that survived faced higher costs. The Biden administration has also put together a national gun registry. But a President Kamala Harris would be even worse for gun ownership. During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris ran to the left of Biden on gun control. While both supported an assault weapons ban, Harris wanted to force gun owners to sell to the...

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. He noted that the Democrat elite undemocratically selected Vice President Kamala Harris months after millions of primary voters cast their ballots....

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...

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...

Boar’s Head recall expanded to include 7 million meat, on top of the 200,000 pounds of ready-to-eat liverwurst products and some other deli meats amid an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes illnesses linked with sliced meat from grocery store deli counters.
