NEW YORK — A clump of cells became no longer viable earlier this week at the age of 67. The clump, which had been birthed by Democrat uterus-owner and former Texas governor Ann Richards, was in its 205th trimester. It presided over nearly 333,000 terminations of unwanted clumps of cells like itself during a 12-year stint as president of a philanthropic organization 3% dedicated to ripping apart clumps of cells and selling the remains.

...former Facebook diversity executive Bärí A. Williams criticizes Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to disband the company’s DEI programs, signaling a shift in priorities as he aligns with the incoming Trump administration.

She writes, “From October 2014 to October 2016, I spent nights, weekends and even part...

The notorious race grifter Al Sharpton is not happy about the scrapping of DEI programs. Numerous companies, most notably Facebook and Amazon, have scaled back or scrapped their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives in the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. However, Sharpton believes that doing so amounts to a major civil rights violations and that his role fighting back is as important as that of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. “Why do we have DEl? We have DEl because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion,” Sharpton said at the...

President Trump Honors Commitment Made to Libertarian Party at National Convention President Donald Trump made a promise to the Libertarian Party, to its members, and to Chair Angela McArdle, to free Ross Ulbricht at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention. We are proud to announce today that because of the influence, the impact and the power that the party can wield, Ross Ulbricht once more walks in the light of liberty, outside of a cell, pardoned by President Trump. “Ross Ulbricht has been a libertarian political prisoner for more than a decade. I’m proud to say that saving his life has...

Nobody expected anything special when the squadron of Navy F/A-18 fighter jets headed out for routine aerial maneuvers off of the coast of Virginia Beach one day in 2013. The F/A-18s, a Naval workhorse, owned the local air space that day—but only until they didn’t. All at once, the jets’ radar picked up a cluster of half a dozen objects flying along with them, moving erratically—and entirely acrobatically. At some moments they ripped along side-to-side at speeds exceeding 350 knots—or 402 mph. Then, suddenly, they would stand utterly still in winds that themselves were moving at 150 knots (172 mph)—gusts...

A boy, aged two, and a man, 41, have been stabbed to death in a horror attack in Germany after a suspected asylum seeker armed with a knife ambushed a nursery group.

Local police said: 'A 28-year-old man from Afghanistan was arrested close to the crime scene'.

BOSTON - There's a new push to establish a minimum salary for public school teachers and other educators in Massachusetts that would allow them to earn a living wage. "An Act Relative To Educator Pay," backed by the Massachusetts Teachers Association, would guarantee a salary of $70,000 a year for teachers and $55,000 a year for education support professionals. The bill calls for another pay hike in 2030, at which time teachers would be paid $80,000 annually and support staff would get a raise to $65,000. The term "education support professionals" includes classroom aides, custodians, cafeteria workers and bus drivers....

Curiously, there was a reading from the Koran by Dr. Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, the associate Imam at Masjid Muhammad (The Nation’s Mosque), and the Muslim call to prayer led by Cantor Shayhk Akbar Sharrief, chief mu'adhin of the same mosque. One can understand the desire for inclusivity, but at the same time, Islam makes no bones about its disregard and contempt for other religions, especially Judaism and Christianity. But the formalities must be observed, I suppose. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop ..: Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the...

Trump teased he may release 'very nice' letter from Biden President Donald Trump revealed the contents of the letter that President Joe Biden left him upon leaving the Oval Office earlier this week exclusively to Fox News on Wednesday. The letter, which Trump found inside the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office with a little help from Fox News Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, is addressed "Dear President Trump" and reads as follows: "As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people –...

....Antifa militants targeted an ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon, on Monday night, just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn into office.... .......... No arrests were made...... The group responsible for Monday night’s incident vowed to continue similar attacks, according to social media posts. The militant who posted the clip on X wrote in a follow-up post, “For anyone just joining the chat now in 2025…Yes, this is the same building…Yes it can be set on fire.” The post included an image of the ICE facility set ablaze.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) slammed President Trump’s decision to grant sweeping pardons to those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, suggesting they are “political foot soldiers” for Trump. “Are they being released as a reserve army of political foot soldiers to act on behalf of MAGA and Donald Trump?” Raskin told CNN’s Erin Burnett during an appearance on the network Tuesday night. “I think that’s what’s so profoundly troubling to a majority of the American people who rejected the idea of freeing at least the violent criminals and the ones who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which means...

That's quite the Freudian slip....over and over and over and over again. LOL!

…But in the hours since Trump’s inauguration, Democrats are struggling to confront the sheer volume of executive orders, pardons, personnel changes and controversial relationships taking shape in the new administration. In less than two days, the Republican president has moved to end diversity and inclusion programs across the federal government, withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris climate accords, blocked a federal law banning TikTok, and sought to end the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship. He has also pardoned the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and granted unprecedented access to some of the world’s richest men,...

President Donald Trump’s executive order on foreigners who “support designated foreign terrorists” could be the start of a previously promised crackdown on radical pro-Palestinian students on American college campuses. The Monday directive from Trump orders the U.S. government to deport foreigners who “bear hostile attitudes toward [American] citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.” That could describe plenty of foreign students advocating for Hamas and other terrorist groups at American universities, an analyst told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “If a student...

Various media outlets are reporting that deportations will begin on day one of the incoming Trump administration. “There’s going to be a big raid across the country,” said immigration border czar, Tom Homan. “We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens, that’s what’s going to happen.” What has been called the “National Question” is now mainstream and a battle looms—a battle that will determine whether America will continue to exist. But I want to ever so briefly return to the past. As Peter Brimelow recently wrote, the paleoconservatives have warned since at least...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to impose "high levels" of sanctions on Russia and tariffs on imports from there if the country did not reach a settlement to end its nearly three-year-old war against Ukraine. Trump's warning, made in a social media post on his third day as president, called out Russian President Vladimir Putin by name. "If we don't make a 'deal,' and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries," Trump wrote on Truth...

Huntington Beach has declared itself a “non-sanctuary city” as other cities in the region and around the country strengthen their sanctuary city rules. In a statement, Mayor Pat Burns’ office confirmed that the city council unanimously voted to approve his initiative to declare the city a “Non-Sanctuary City for Illegal Immigration for the Prevention of Crime.” The resolution, according to Burns’ office, “deliberately sidestep[s] the Governor’s efforts to subvert the good work of federal immigration authorities and to announce the city’s cooperation with the federal government, the Trump Administration and Border Czar Tom Homan’s work.” “This new city policy and...
