"We are by long odds the most ill-mannered nation, civilized or savage, that exists on the planet today. Our president stands for us like a colossal monument."I have often wondered at the condition of things which set aside morality in politics and make possible the election of men whose unfitness is apparent. We have never had a president before who was destitute of self-respect & of respect for his high office; we have had no president before who was not a gentleman; we have had no president before who was intended for a butcher, a dive keeper or a bully,...

Director Chris Columbus is obviously desperate for attention and a job. Why else would go full-Orwell and disgrace himself by calling for President Donald Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York to be memory-holed? “Years later, [Trump’s cameo has] become this curse. It’s become this thing that I wish it was not there,” the Home Alone 2 director told the far-left San Francisco Chronicle. “But it’s there,” he added. “It’s become an albatross for me. I just wish it was gone.” “I can’t cut it,” he lamented. “If I cut it, I’ll probably be sent out of...

VIDEOPresident Trump, while he was signing the declassification of the FBI "Crossfire Hurricane" files, was absolutely right about the media showing NO interest at looking at the newly available information because they wouldn't like what they would find. Eerily, during the signing ceremony, there seemed to be a strange yet familiar ghostly presence in the room.

After attracting some dubious criticism regarding its US-based production, BMW fired back with some cold, rational stats that solidified its reputation as an exporter and manufacturer. But apparently, the automaker wasn’t content to stop there. Perhaps fueled by indignation—but more likely demand and forecasting—BMW is mulling over the addition of shifts at its Spartanburg plant. Apparently, the boosted productivity could result in up to 80,000 additional units entering production. Anticipating the Year Ahead Reportedly, BMW’s US inventory is sitting around a month’s days supply. A primary benefit of the production increase is price protection. A ramp up ensures models that...

IMMEDIATELY ARREST FOR CONSPIRACY TO OVERTHROW THE USG THE FOLLOWING AND BRING THEM IN FOR QUESTIONING: @BarackObama @JohnBrennan Jim Clapper (he’ll talk) Susan Rice Jim Comey (he’ll talk) Andrew McCabe (he’ll talk) This is full blown Treason! Yes, you’re damn right, I’m biased about this but if these people aren’t held accountable, they’ll do it again and again and again. These are communist thugs who use the idea of the ends justifying the means. But what is at grave risk is our country. The United States of America will only remain great if we maintain two examples our founders showed...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — In the wake of the Trump administration freezing $2.3 billion in federal funding to Harvard University, leaders of the university are sounding the alarm that the loss of funding will severely cripple their ability to find a final solution to the Jewish Problem. The Jewish Problem, according to Harvard, is that there are many Jews on campus and these Jews believe they have a right to attend classes without being harmed, even though they are Jews. Trump had frozen federal funding in part over a disagreement with the university's tolerance for violent antisemitism on campus, which Harvard...

We can all only hope we'll be this prepared when disaster — any kind of disaster! — eventually strikes: A Tennessee family managed to save their home from biblical floods by building their own levee around the property. The Humphrey family home in Ridgely - about three hours outside of Nashville - was seen untouched by brown, murky flood water on April 8 after severe rainfall trapped more than 100 people in the area. Miraculously, the large home was still standing, as incredible aerial images posted to Facebook showed it sitting alone in the middle of a disaster zone while...

Honda is reportedly preparing to significantly expand its US manufacturing footprint in response to the Trump administration’s sweeping new tariffs on foreign imports.

The Chinese Progressive Association gave Judge Indira Talwani its Workers Justice award in 2012. This group has deep ties to the CCP. This judge is now trying to stop Trump from reversing legal status for hundreds of thousands of migrants allowed in by Biden. The Chinese Progressive Association was started by operatives of the Maoist militant group supportive of the Chinese Communist Party. Its leadership has repeatedly expressed support for the CCP, with founder Fay Wong noting: “What China was able to accomplish, with the revolution, was very inspiring.”

Judge Paula Xinis is setting the stage to hold Trump officials in contempt. Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia demanded the Trump Administration ‘comply’ with the Supreme Court order and release the MS-13 gang member from the CECOT prison. In a new court filing on Tuesday Abrego Garcia’s attorneys said the Trump Administration has to at least request his release from the CECOT prison and help ‘facilitate’ his return from El Salvador. The attorneys said, “There is no evidence that anyone has requested the release of Abrego Garcia.”

Sustained research funding is essential to progressI don't usually talk about my cancer diagnosis. But as a physician-scientist who survived leukemia at 18 years old and now cares for people facing their own cancer diagnoses, I feel compelled to share my story -- because it speaks directly to what's at stake in medicine today. The clinical trial that saved my life wouldn't have existed without robust investment in biomedical research. And as debates over federal research funding continue, I think about whether future patients will have access to the same life-saving opportunities I did. It was the summer of 2007....
