Democrats have a man problem. And no, it’s not new, but their goofy solution is. After a brutal 2024 loss, the Left is now throwing tens of millions of dollars into the influencer pool, scrambling to find their own progressive “Joe Rogan.” Yes, you read that right, they’re trying to find a “manly” podcaster to appeal to the effeminate poofs they’ve created for a decade and who are the foundation of their failing party. They’ve got pitch decks, investor meetings, and spreadsheets with 26 different proposals, all in a frantic, dizzying effort to manufacture cultural relevance like it’s something you...

A recent study has found a 50% decline in the use of semicolons over the last two decades. The decline accelerates a longterm trend: “In 1781, British literature featured a semicolon roughly every 90 words; by 2000, it had fallen to one every 205 words. Today, there’s just one semicolon for every 390 words.” Further research reported that 67% of British students never or rarely use a semicolon; more than 50% did not know how to use it. Just 11% of respondents described themselves as frequent users. These findings may not be definitive. According to the Guardian, the Google Books...

South African politician Julius Malema, the leader of the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, responded to President Donald Trump’s claims about “genocide” Wednesday by reiterating calls to kill white farmers.

Bolden witnessed the events surrounding the assassination of JFK and bravely spoke out about the cover-up. For telling the truth, he was unjustly convicted, labeled clinically insane, stripped of his constitutional rights, and incarcerated—an appalling abuse of power meant to silence his courage. I want to offer him a formal apology for the injustice he endured and thank him for his loyal service to our nation. His legacy is one of integrity, resilience, and truth.

Please note: The Pandemic Agreement has been called various names over the years. It has also been referred to as the Pandemic Treaty, Pandemic Accord and WHO Convention Agreement + (“WHO CA+”). To ensure the Pandemic Agreement was adopted by the easiest possible route, WHO had determined that a vote need not take place, and instead it would be adopted by “consensus.”Surprised that a “democratic institution” did not want to have a vote, Slovakia requested that a vote on the draft Pandemic Agreement take place, which Tedros the Terrorist attempted to stop hours before the vote was scheduled.https://x.com/RobertFicoSVK/status/1924473981395988880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1924473981395988880%7Ctwgr%5Eda2097fa6480bcc106dd46d79e58409ee8c862d4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fexpose-news.com%2F2025%2F05%2F21%2Fwhos-pandemic-agreement-is-adopted%2FThe vote was...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As debate continued over President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," the United States Congress was said to be split between those who want to spend a ridiculous amount of money and those who want to spend an even more ridiculous amount of money. "My colleagues are out of line!" Republican Senator Kevin Cramer said during open debate on the Senate floor. "They want to spend a whole, whole lot of money.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Joe Biden’s inner circle of family and advisors chose loyalty to him over duty to the country. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So every White House, no matter which party Republican or Democrat administration part of the job is to make the president look good.” He asked, “What makes this administration do what they did to protect their principal? Why is that a cover-up?” Thompson said, “I think a lot of these things start innocently enough, to your point. You know, the speechwriting team early on realized that...

President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing his country of failing to address the killing of white farmers. "People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety," said Trump, who at one point dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a communist politician playing a controversial anti-apartheid song that includes lyrics about killing a farmer. "Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they're being killed." Ramaphosa, who sat quietly watching these videos, pushed back against Trump's accusation. "I'd like to know where that is...
