Make no mistake, there is nothing "joyful" about the weird campaign that the Democrats, the MSM, the Deep State, and the transnational elites are running against Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Sure, they are making a movie that sure looks like it's joyful and confident, but for months the Establishment has been panicked and that panic hasn't receded. It's not that they are doomed--quite the opposite, these evil people have a reasonable chance of victory. It's that the stakes have never been so high for them. In their eyes, it is for all the marbles, and we should see the...

Aug 9 (Reuters) - Cisco (CSCO.O), opens new tab will cut thousands of jobs in a second round of layoffs this year as the U.S. networking equipment maker shifts focus to higher-growth areas, including cybersecurity and AI, people familiar with the matter said.

Well, this is indeed a shocker: Google admitted this past week that they were indeed censoring searches on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and the assassination attempt against him. But it was just an outdated algorithm, honest!In the latest improbable claim of semi-innocence in the field of election manipulation by a big tech corporation, counsel for Google parent company Alphabet told the House Judiciary Committee that its autocomplete algorithm wouldn’t allow people to search for results about the Trump assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13 due to a prohibition against searches for political violence-related topics, National...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bleeding and in pain, Kyleigh Thurman didn’t know her doomed pregnancy could kill her. Emergency room doctors at Ascension Seton Williamson in Texas handed her a pamphlet on miscarriage and told her to “let nature take its course" before discharging her without treatment for her ectopic pregnancy. When the 25-year-old returned three days later, still bleeding, doctors finally agreed to give her an injection intended to end the pregnancy. But it was too late. The fertilized egg growing on Thurman’s fallopian tube would rupture it, destroying part of her reproductive system. That’s according to a complaint Thurman...

When Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, my heart burst with pride for my home state. As a daughter of Minnesota, it has been thrilling to watch how quickly the country has gone wild for Walz. Of all the refreshing qualities he brings to the ticket, making kindness cool again may be what this country needs most right now. Walz’s leadership success is a clear rebuke of the harshness towards the vulnerable that has, disturbingly, become normalized. Walz’s record from a lifetime in public service shows that respecting and uplifting those around us creates opportunities...

Federal agencies used the pretext of foreign interference in the 2020 election to surveil and suppress domestic news. merica’s speech police are reassembling to once again influence our elections. At the same time the security state is creating potential pretexts for renewed censorship by issuing warnings of cyberattacks that could “hinder public access to election information,” they are also reprising old claims of coming Russian election interference on behalf of Donald Trump. The little-noticed development comes in a report from the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) on the DOJ’s efforts to “Coordinate Information Sharing About Foreign Malign Influence...

Chicago protesters have marched against Israel’s actions in the war in Gaza every weekend since last October. But the task of organizing those protests has been difficult while leaders witness the daily violence from Israel’s attacks, including the killing or maiming of their own family or friends. “We’ve been struggling,” said Deanna Othman, a board member with the Chicago chapter of American Muslims for Palestine. “Nobody expected this to last this long.” This month, they’ll have reinforcements. Demonstrations are planned outside the Democratic National Convention, when the party is expected to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate....

While the IDF announced on Saturday that 19 terrorists were eliminated in an attack on the Tabbayeen School in Gaza, the Shin Bet and Military Intelligence have confirmed that the number of terrorists eliminated in the attack is 31, the IDF reported Monday. Security forces are continuing their assessments, and the number may increase, however, this contrasts with Palestinian claims that approximately 100 uninvolved civilians were killed in the attack. Ahead of the attack, the Shin Bet provided precise intelligence on a specific building within the school complex, which had effectively become a terrorist headquarters hiding dozens of Hamas and...

Thousands of synagogues prepare to feature lamentations about the Hamas atrocities, on Tisha B’Av, a fast day that commemorates historical – and now contemporary – tragedies. Like thousands of Israelis, Adam Hajaj is still suffering from the Hamas onslaught of October 7, when terrorists abducted his cousin Rom Braslavski from the Supernova music festival in Re’im. On Saturday, Hajaj told thousands of people about his family’s pain at the weekly rally for the hostages in Tel Aviv. But he began his speech by addressing events from almost 2,000 years ago, with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem on...

Israel has expanded the evacuation orders in southern Gaza, forcing residents to leave their residences amid the ongoing displacement crisis caused by the war with Hamas. Israel’s military said on Sunday that it was widening the humanitarian zone in response to Hamas’s “exploitation” of the zone “for terrorist acts and the continuous firing of rockets towards the State of Israel,” according to a post on the social platform X. Israel released leaflets to areas of Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city, and made phone calls to residents warning them to flee, saying, “remaining in this block has become dangerous.” “We inform...
