Evangelicalism’s “White Guilt” apostle, Latasha Morrison—what can be said that isn’t already obvious to anyone paying attention? She’s the founder of “Be the Bridge,” a so-called Christian organization that is primarily concerned with cultivating white guilt within the ranks of Evangelicalism. Seriously, though. Life must be miserable living in perpetual victimhood the way these people do. It’s like wandering through a never-ending night where the shadows of resentment choke out every glimmer of light, leaving only the cold, suffocating darkness of self-imposed despair. Latasha Morrison’s doctrines are as predictable as they are pernicious—if you’re white, you’re guilty, and no amount...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow warned Monday that Republicans on election boards across the country could refuse to certify the 2024 election results should former President Trump lose in November. “Election boards across the country now include Republican officials who have not only propounded Mr. Trump’s lies about the last presidential election being ‘stolen,’ they have tested how far they can go in denying the certification of the vote,” Maddow wrote in an op-ed published with The New York Times. Maddow argued the spread of what she called “refusenik Republicans” began in 2020, when Trump and then-Republican National Committee Chair Ronna...

Weeks after their contract expired, thousands of workers are going on strike in hopes of better pay and benefits. Nearly 17,000 AT&T workers are on strike as their union, the Communication Workers of America, accused the company of "unfair labor practices." The 17,000 workers are in the AT&T Southeast region and serve the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Striking employees include technicians, customer service representatives, and others who install, maintain, and support AT&T’s residential and business wireline telecommunications network, the union said. The Communication Workers of America filed a grievance with...

Explanation: Inside the Cocoon Nebula is a newly developing cluster of stars. Cataloged as IC 5146, the beautiful nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide. Soaring high in northern summer night skies, it's located some 4,000 light years away toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus). Like other star forming regions, it stands out in red, glowing, hydrogen gas excited by young, hot stars, and dust-reflected starlight at the edge of an otherwise invisible molecular cloud. In fact, the bright star found near the center of this nebula is likely only a few hundred thousand years old, powering the nebular glow...

Mpox has been declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization in response to a new, potentially deadlier strain of the virus circulating in Africa. On Thursday, the first case of this new variant was detected outside the continent, in Sweden. So what does this mean for vaccinations? Do they still work against the new variant? And do you need a booster? Newsweek spoke to experts to find out. Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, gained recognition during the global outbreak in 2022, affecting the U.S., Europe, Australia and many other countries. The virus comes in two "flavors"—clade I...

As a former restaurant critic, I don’t get to go to dinner on assignment much anymore. But last week, I spent a grueling few hours in the private back room of a restaurant in North Beach, listening to a crowd gnash their teeth about “parental rights,” and the Trans Conspiracy to Destroy the American Family, while noshing on very dry garlic bread. Hosted by the San Francisco Republican Party, the event was billed by the group’s chairman John Dennis as “a reasonable conversation for parents who have concerns.” Speakers included Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, a Bay Area-based former social worker and a...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said antisemitism played “no role” in Vice President Kamala Harris’ opting against him as a running mate, and blamed Donald Trump for spreading that allegation. Shapiro, who is Jewish, made the remark in an interview on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, as he was making the rounds between meetings of state delegations. Shapiro had been considered a leading contender in Harris’ veepstakes, and faced a progressive campaign to tank his chances over his support for Israel. Critics of the effort called it antisemitic, but Shapiro told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that antisemitism was...

CHICAGO, Illinois — A group of Hamas supporters flew the banner of the terrorist group at a pro-Palestinian rally outside the Democratic National Convention — but they flew it upside-down, and not on purpose. Roughly 3,500 people gathered in Union Park to protest against Israel — and to urge Vice President Kamala Harris to end U.S. support for Israel. Many present said they would not vote for Harris unless she complied with their demand. There were a broad spectrum of views represented — from peace activists to hard-core Islamists — though the crowd chanted for the Palestinian “resistance,” and repeated...

Kamala Harris's running mate, Tim Walz, has been sweet on socialism and even communism for pretty much all his adult life. After all, he did describe socialism as "neighborliness." He's the guy who let his city burn. The Washington Free Beacon's Alana Goodman did some digging and found this in an old news clipping: As a high school teacher in the 1990s, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz appeared to extol life under Chinese communism, telling his students that it is a system in which "everyone shares" and gets free food and housing. "It means that everyone...

Account of two Britons who went undercover in Northern France illegal migrant camp, claiming to be deserters from Foreign Legion going back to Blighty. Made the night crossing in a small boat. Got arrested in UK, cleared it up, reporting what they saw and heard. Link to transcript below video.

While traveling to Kentucky out of Indiana today, listening to Radio 970 AM, Louisville . . . . Heard Kamala Harris blaming private companies for inflation by price gouging . . . . Said that she will take, or take over, the patents of privately owned companies if she thinks their prices are too high. She boldly and arrogantly said, "We CAN do it." Then said, "We have the WILL to do it." The "We" in these statements, I suppose, refer to a Harris Administration.

If you want something done right, do it yourself. That includes protecting family, friends, and neighbors.Perhaps the greatest rebuttal to calls for confidence in police is the conduct of law enforcement officers at Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas. There, on May 24, 2022, almost 400 cops not only stood around while a lunatic murdered children and teachers, but they prevented parents from stepping in to do what those in uniform wouldn't. Now, new reporting gives greater insight into the depths of the officers' inaction that day, and just how unwise it is to rely on them for protection....

Could someone teach Kamala to laugh only when something is funny? It’s not the sound of Kamala Harris’s laugh that is so irritating although, to be fair, it is. It’s that she laughs when nothing remotely funny has been said. The blandest statements (usually her own) prompt her to explode into gales of laughter, doubling over, wide-mouthed, nose crinkled, her entire body shaking, often accompanied by handclapping and foot-stomping. These performances would be show-offy at a Dave Chappelle show, but Harris does it to punctuate a sentence. Here’s an actual transcript of some of her remarks at a recent Las...

CHICAGO — Vice President Kamala Harris is calling for raising the corporate tax rate to 28%, her first major proposal to raise revenues and finance expensive plans she wants to pursue as president. Harris campaign spokesman James Singer told NBC News that she would push for a 28% corporate tax rate, calling it “a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.”

Vladimir Putin's forces have been caught red handed going on a looting spree in their own country amid the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk. The Russian 'defenders' took advantage of the chaos caused by the stunning cross-border incursion launched by Kyiv's forces almost two weeks ago to steal goods from a mobile phone shop. A quartet of Moscow's soldiers are seen helping themselves in a MegaFon store in frontline town of Glushkovo in shocking security footage. At least three of the four are thought to be from the elite Chechen assault force Akhmat, which was partially responsible for defending the border...

The station is the only one around for miles in the Mojave desert.This summer, gas prices are lower than they have been in the past. In some places though, some gas stations have a “I know what I have” attitude, resulting in some seriously high prices. One desert gas station is like this, and it doubles down on the pricing with a disclaimer for customers. Najah’s Desert Goods sits in the middle of absolutely nowhere in the Mojave Desert right at the intersection of Route 66 and Interstate 40. Well it’s not technically nowhere; it’s in a place called Fenner,...

In a concerning development, health authorities in Honduras launched a massive campaign against dengue this Friday, responding to a crisis that has claimed 105 lives and affected more than 99,000 people so far this year. The situation has prompted urgent action across the nation. Health ministry brigades mobilized throughout the capital’s neighborhoods, focusing on destroying mosquito breeding sites. This coordinated effort, which spans the entire country, has seen active participation from local residents joining the cause. Lorenzo Pavón, director of Epidemiological Surveillance at the Ministry of Health, provided sobering statistics to local media. “So far in 2024, we’ve recorded 105...

Hillary Clinton was on Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday, July 21, the day President Biden dropped out of the presidential race, when her phone rang. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had already received a call from the same number, so she knew who wanted to talk to her. Vice President Kamala Harris was calling to tell her she was running for president and hoping to build support as quickly as possible. Mrs. Clinton didn’t hesitate: She told the vice president she was all in. The Clintons rushed out an endorsement well ahead of many other party leaders, including the Obamas....

Biz admits turning human women into faceless, sexualized furniture was a 'tone deaf' marketing ployIf you attended the Black Hat conference in Vegas last week and found yourself over in Palo Alto Networks' corner of the event, you may have encountered a marketing gimmick that has since been heavily criticized for misogyny. Security architect Sean Juroviesky's LinkedIn post and accompanying image, which was subsequently shared by equally outraged conference delegates, attracted scores of angry cybersecurity pros all demanding answers from Palo Alto Networks (PAN). Why? The cybersecurity giant paid women – and only women – to stand at the...
