Weaponizing an historically false hierarchy of oppression. After Donald Trump was interviewed by Rachel Scott at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, the rewriter of American history, Nikole Hannah-Jones, took time out from her five-year-long promotional tour of her 1619 Project to actually write something for the New York Times, where, according to her byline, she is still employed as a “domestic correspondent . . . covering racial injustice and civil rights.” In the manner typical of her original project published as a special issue of the New York Times Magazine and expanded into a book, Hannah-Jones...

You will recall that Trump was suspended from Twitter on January 6th. Elon Musk un-suspended Trump earlier this year, provoking hysterical yips of fear from corporate media. But Trump did not use his Twitter account. Yesterday, he came back. It was a flex, an early sign of a shift in the Trump Campaign. He’s going on offense. Variety ran the first story yesterday, headlined “Donald Trump Returns to Posting on X/Twitter After Year-Long Break Ahead of Elon Musk Interview.” Here is Trump’s first X post since January 6th, 2021: I’ll get to the historic Twitter Space interview in a moment....

Tim Walz’s "Church" is about what you’d expect. Tim Walz’s "Church" is about what you’d expect.August 13, 2024 by Robert Spencer 15 CommentsHey, Tim Walz isn’t so bad. In an age when leftists compete with one another in how much they can repudiate and mock traditional values, it is surprising and refreshing to discover that the Democrats’ shiny new vice-presidential candidate, America’s dad, is a regular churchgoer. Walz’s Christian piety, however, is not exactly the sort of thing that would put you in mind of Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther, Mother Theresa, or any other prominent Christian you’d care to name....

As a senator, Kamala Harris voiced her "unequivocal" support for slashing America's defense budget and "redirecting funding to communities in need." Years later, the vice president and Democratic presidential nominee won't say where she stands on the issue. Harris in 2020 released a statement addressing an amendment from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) that would have redirected 10 percent of the Pentagon's budget—$74 billion in total—into an annual federal grant program. While Harris voted against the amendment, she assured constituents that her issue was with its specific wording, not its general goal. "I applaud Senator Sanders and am grateful for...

And he might be the next attorney general. When the new administration was looking for an attorney general, Ben Crump, the ultimate BLM lawyer who represented the families of George Floyd, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and nearly every BLM case, recommended Tony West. Al Sharpton also mentioned West.West, Crump argued, had been the third-highest ranking official in the Obama DOJ, “led various efforts to reduce racial bias, improve procedural fairness, strengthen the relationship between communities of color and law enforcement, and hold police departments accountable.”Or as the New York Times put it, West “launched an investigation into the 2014 shooting...

The hottest new accessory in the Hamptons this summer isn’t from Hermes or Loro Piana. It’s a clunky cell phone signal booster that exasperated Hamptonites are affixing to their cars to improve their reception in the notorious dead zone. “There is better cell service in Bangladesh than here,” one Sag Harbor resident complained to The Post. The devices, made by companies such as weBoost, Wilson Amplifiers and Cel-Fi, sell for around $500. They have long been popular with truck drivers on long-haul cross country trips or adventurers traversing the Rocky Mountains. But now they’re in vogue with a more posh...

In June, the Famine Review Commission, using the UN’s IPC framework, was forced to admit that “the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is currently occurring” in Gaza. That same month, the UN decided to stage one anyway. After months of the United Nations falsely claiming that Israel was starving Arab Muslims in Gaza, the UN has threatened to suspend aid deliveries to those very same people. The UN’s humanitarian coordinator Muhannad Hadi, a Jordanian Arab Muslim, warned Israeli officials that he would stop dispatching aid to his fellow Arab Muslims in Gaza unless the Jews met his demands....

"America’s dad" and would-be vice president has no problem associating with terror-linked groups. Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is being skillfully marketed as an all-American average guy. That’s one thing he isn’t, and in reality, he is just about the diametric opposite of that. Most Americans are not even aware, and never will be, of how sinister he really is.To hear the Democrat party’s propaganda machine, that is, the establishment media, tell it, Walz is your neighbor across the fence who has surprisingly sensible solutions to the nation’s problems, a homespun small-town high school teacher, a football coach, someone...

The steamer Evening Star, from New-Orleans Aug. 6, arrived at this port yesterday. By her we receive a brief but satisfactory confirmation of the great success achieved at Mobile by Admiral FARRAGUT. It comes in the shape of a telegram from Gen. BANKS to Mrs. BANKS, who was a passenger on the Evening Star. The dispatch was put on board the Evening Star as she was passing the station at quarantine below New-Orleans. OFFICE OF THE U.S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH, NEW-ORLEANS, Saturday, Aug. 6.

A video from 2019 of Kamala Harris vowing to shut down all immigration detention centers on “day one” as president has resurfaced and is making the rounds on social media.

But it's obvious which way Kamala leans. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party’s nominee for president, is trying to walk a political tightrope on the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. On the one hand, to court as many moderate Jewish voters as possible, she repeats her canned statement of support for Israel’s right to defend itself, even going so far just recently to brand Hamas as “terrorists.” But at the same time, she is also currently entertaining the idea of an arms embargo against the Jewish state, according to pro-Palestinian advocates who spoke with her just before...

Labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci says work is the new retirement. She blames "policymakers who experimented with our retirement system 40 years ago, and they are not saying the experiment failed." That experiment is what is known today as the 401K, named after part of a 1978 law that offered companies an alternative to the traditional pension plan.

Gov. Tim Walz, now the presumptive Democratic VP candidate, blamed the lack of DEI for the George Floyd riots in May 2020. Walz starts his May 31, 2020, press conference by bashing the fact that society hasn’t made DEI a priority:

Video Player is loading. Advertisement: 0:11 Democratic strategist Van Jones said Monday that former President Trump is “freaked out” that he’s not getting as much press attention as Vice President Harris and is responding by sharpening his rhetoric about the threat he says his political opponents would pose on the country. “He‘s failing and flailing. Listen, they‘re saying that these are the worst three weeks of his campaign,” Jones, a CNN contributor, said Monday in an interview with Anderson Cooper. “That‘s what the press is saying.” “This is the year in which he got indicted, convicted, and shot at —...

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced on Tuesday that his conversation with former President Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, has received 1 billions views. The conversation was broadcast on X through the spaces feature on the platform Monday night.

Kim Howard has spent the past six years trying to keep her cannabis cosmetics company alive in California’s legal marijuana market, selling her cannabis-infused eye creams and skin serums at dispensaries across the state. But late last year, she finally gave up. She returned her state marijuana license and pulled her Green Bee Botanicals products from the state’s dispensaries. That’s because she’s joined a wave of California entrepreneurs who have pivoted to the hemp industry, turning their backs on California’s embattled marijuana market in favor of the federally legal version of cannabis called hemp. Howard said pivoting to hemp has...

CLAIM: Trump said: “Many more people died during his administration of COVID than during my administration.” VERDICT: MOSTLY TRUE, though Biden was president for longer during the pandemic, which distorts comparisons. President Donald Trump told Elon Musk during an interview on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday that more people had died from the coronavirus under President Joe Biden than had died under his administration. That is true. “There were roughly 460,000 deaths attributed to COVID-19 up through the end of January 2021, the month when Mr. Biden took over. Mr. Biden has overseen roughly 800,000 deaths since,” the Washington Times...

Using data from NASA's InSight lander - which carried out a four-year-long mission that ended in 2022 - researchers say the amount of water underground could cover all of Mars with between one to two kilometres of water.
