In the hours and days since it became clear that Donald Trump would be re-elected president of the United States, there’s been a surge of interest in the US for 4B. Young liberal women across TikTok and Instagram are discussing and sharing information about the South Korean feminist movement, in which straight women refuse to marry, have children, date or have sex with men. These women say they are enraged and fed up after a majority of their male counterparts voted for a candidate who was found liable for sexual abuse and whose appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices...

China has unveiled new measures aimed at boosting its flagging economy, as it braces for a second Donald Trump presidency. The country plans to tackle tens of billions of dollars of local government debt to prevent it being a drag on growth. Trump won the US election on a platform that promised steep import taxes, including tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese-made goods. His victory is now likely to hinder Xi Jinping’s plans to transform the country into a technology powerhouse – and further strain relations between the world’s two biggest economies. A property slump, rising government debt and...

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor told disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed Friday. The FEMA official — Marn’i Washington — conveyed her edict both verbally and in a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers canvassing Lake Placid homes ravaged by Hurricane Milton last month, according to the Daily Wire. “Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to employees. The order was the second bullet point in a list instructing workers to not go “anywhere alone,” practice “de-escalation,” stay hydrated and to “follow...

Let them cry it out. Liberals in deep-blue New York City shocked and disturbed by President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory are flooding shrinks’ inboxes looking for appointments. “It’s a perfect storm for New York therapists,” said Manhattan psychologist Chloe Carmichael, who estimated she’s received a 15% spike in inquiries from patients. “It’s a repeat of 2016, where a lot of people feel really scared and traumatized and angry.” A staggering 69% of people felt anxious or frustrated about the presidential election, according to a poll taken before Trump’s runaway win. On Wednesday morning, New York City-based psychotherapist Alyson Cohen woke...

A final decision rests with Trump, and Reuters was unable to learn whether others had been ruled out or were still in contention.

No one was sure what a Kamala Harris presidency would mean for Lina Khan, the controversial chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) appointed by President Joe Biden. But with Harris, too, on her way out, and Republicans slated to take over the White House, we can probably say goodbye—and good riddance—to Khan's reign. With Khan heading the agency, the FTC has taken an aggressive stance against mergers and acquisitions, an aggressive stance against big tech companies, and an odd view of the agency's purpose and authority. "Khan has framed several regulatory issues in the dramatic terms of someone facing...

Former Bridgeport employee Wanda Geter-Pataky is in the news once again. But this time, it’s for something she’s doing in New Haven. Geter-Pataky is also a justice of the peace, and there are questions about weddings she officiated. Specifically, weddings allegedly involving non-citizens and whether they were meant to get around immigration law. Video from the New Haven Independent allegedly shows Geter-Pataky officiating one such wedding recently at New Haven City Hall. “Here's this woman who is at the center of a statewide absentee ballot scandal coming in with five, 10, 15 couples at the time to rush them through...

Psalm 91 invites us to take refuge in God alone, the ultimate place of safety. In part 1, we covered verses 1-4. Now, we continue with the rest of the psalm. Enjoy! Verses 5-6: “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.” (NIV) The Hebrew word pakhad can refer to a “fear” or to the thing feared (as in something fearful), translated here as “terror.” Dwelling in that holy hiding place, we do not fear anything night or...

FYI: The Intergovernmental Negotiating Body is scheduled to meet on Monday, November 11, 2024 to consider calling for a special session of the World Health Assembly in the hopes of adopting the proposed “Pandemic Agreement” BEFORE the end of 2024. The INB will consider the determination of process for the convening, as appropriate, of a special session of the Health Assembly by the Executive Board, provided that agreement is reached on the draft WHO Pandemic Agreement. https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/pdf_files/inb12/A_inb12_2Rev1-en.pdf (page 3) If you are opposed to the “Pandemic Agreement,” then RIGHT NOW would be a VERY good time to take the actions...

3 days old now, but X has no official title so a search is a hit & miss proposition but nothing was found for the title I used. Anyway, Kansas AG announces that Kansas will be the first of 5 states that are filing a suit against Pfizer for deceptive advertising with their vaccines.

In spite of the apprehensions of many persons that the election in this city would be attended with tumult and violence, it proved to be one of the most quiet and orderly elections ever held in New-York. The pretended fears of the Copperheads that there would be military interference with the freedom of the ballot turned out to be entirely groundless, and consequently their threats of a free election or a free fight, found no occasion for their execution. The weather was such as in ordinary times would have been favorable to a light vote, but so great was the...

Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte "I am NOT going to listen to transphobia at this table!" CNN panelist loses their mind over "slur" used by Republican strategist during trans sports debate.

Democrats: Your Leadership and Press went Woke/Marxist. In case you haven't figured it out. Your top leadership went Woke/Marxist. We who were independent figured it out long ago. Others outside the party and it's press knew it too. Your press knew it too, but didn't want to talk about it. But it was obvious they went Woke/Marxist too. How did we know? Well, one big clue was the Burning/Looted/Rioted Democratic cities after COVID. Your leaders and press either stood aside or CHEERED THEM ON. They, by en large, let your cities be Burned, Looted, and/or Rioted. And the justification of...

Maricopa County, Arizona, Recorder Stephen Richer deleted his X account Thursday with hundreds of thousands of ballots still to be counted. The county’s slow reporting of election results has raised concerns — that the delay is allowing room for foul play. Lake was tied with or had taken a slight lead over Gallego in multiple polls going into Tuesday’s election .. RCP average only had Republican Donald Trump ahead in the state by 3 percent, but he currently has a 6.1 percent lead over Democrat Kamala Harris in the actual results. So the average of surveys underrepresented Trump’s support by...

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A federal judge has overturned Illinois’ ban on semiautomatic weapons, leaning on recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that strictly interpret the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms. U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn’s said his Friday decision applied universally, not just to the lawsuit’s plaintiffs. The Protect Illinois Communities Act, signed into law in January 2023 by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, took effect Jan. 1. It bans AR-15 rifles and similar guns, large-capacity magazines and an assortment of attachments largely in response to the 2022 Independence Day shooting at a parade in the Chicago suburb...

One of the largest donors to help President-elect Donald Trump was Timothy Mellon, an heir to the generational fortune of Gilded Age tycoon Andrew Mellon. In the 2024 election cycle, Mellon, 82, donated $125 million to the super PAC Make America Great Again, Inc. that supported Trump, according to Federal Election Commission documents. And including, donations to help Republican congressional candidates and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mellon donated a total of $165 million, according to the campaign finance tracker Open Secrets. Mellon wasn’t the only billionaire to make nine-figure outlays for Trump. Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave at least $119...

Radio man and podcaster Charlamagne Tha God has found it odd that leftists have suddenly dropped all the rhetoric attacking Donald Trump as a “fascist” and a “threat to democracy” since he won the election in a massive victory on Tuesday. During his “The Breakfast Club” show on Friday, the podcaster blasted liberals for their sudden turn toward “optimism” in their post-election comments and wondered if they have been insincere from the beginning that Trump is a “threat to democracy.” “I will say this: I’m glad everybody’s having a sense of optimism because the reality is we have no choice,...

Article III Project founder Mike Davis talked to Real America's Voice host Steve Bannon about government weaponization and the need to ensure it never happens again at the Department of Justice. STEVE BANNON, HOST: And Mike, here's where I want to start. I don't think we even have any clips because the mainstream media does not want to report this at all. And that is not about your controversy between you and the Attorney General of New York. We'll get to that maybe towards the end. Jim Jordan today sent Jack Smith a preserve your documents letter in fact of...
