Today, President Donald J. Trump showed the world the shocking treatment of white farmers in South Africa — including with a video montage that highlighted the discrimination and violence targeted at the innocent minority victims.President Trump was exactly right.“We left because of the attacks. You can’t stay on a farm as a white person in South Africa. You know you’ll be killed,” said one South African refugee.New York Post: White South African couple say they’re victims of racial attacks — and can’t wait to be in Trump’s AmericaThe Daily Mail: Why white South Africans are fleeing surging violence and ‘racist’...

[H/T ExTexasRedhead]SNIPComparing Drug Side Effect Information for 2 Identical Drugs (Ozempic and Wegovy):You have, no doubt, heard about the GLP-1 agonist drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. They are both semaglutide. Ozempic was approved for diabetes and Wegovy was approved for weight loss. From our perspective, the clinical trials should have produced somewhat similar side effect profiles.The official prescribing information reports that 20.3% of the patients on Ozempic complained of nausea while only 6.1% of those on placebo reported nausea. Contrast that with the identical medicine Wegovy: 42% to 44% of subjects on Wegovy reported nausea. Those getting placebo shots of Wegovy...

UPDATE, 5/22/25: Authorities have dismissed the charges against a Texas woman found in a Whataburger restroom on December 19, 2024, with her deceased preterm baby (later named “Baby Mary”) in the toilet. Mallori Patrice Strait, 33, had been charged with “abuse of a corpse” and spent five months incarcerated while an investigation was ongoing. She was released from jail on May 15. Though initially, a physician at Metropolitan Methodist Hospital who pronounced the baby dead on arrival stated that the preterm baby was likely between 28-30 weeks gestation (roughly seven months), the medical examiner later assessed the baby at five...

The Senate’s unprecedented move to revoke California’s ban on gasoline-powered cars by 2035 threatens to upend the U.S.’s status as both an economic powerhouse and a world leader on climate change mitigation, Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters Thursday. He and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced plans to sue to block Congress from revoking the ban Thursday morning at the California Environmental Protection Agency office in downtown Sacramento.

The Supreme Court on Thursday strongly suggested that Federal Reserve board members would have special protection against being fired by a president in a ruling that, for now, allows President Donald Trump to fire two members of other federal agencies’ boards. The Supreme Court in its ruling said, “We disagree” with arguments by Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris from Merit Systems Protection Board that their challenges to their terminations “necessarily implicate the constitutionality of for-cause removal protections for members of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors or other members of the Federal Open Market...

The Senate has voted to overturn the electric vehicle mandate in the state of California. This is going to cause some major anger and anxiety among the climate change activist community. The EV mandate was one of the last things Joe Biden signed before leaving office. You may recall a last minute push by Biden’s team to advance as much climate change related legislation as they could during his final weeks in office. The resolution to overturn the mandate passed along party lines with one Democrat senator voting for it as well. The Washington Free Beacon reported: Senate Votes To...

Harmeet Dhillon, who is now the United States Assistant Attorney General under Trump, and runs the civil rights division, just did an interview with Tucker Carlson that is at times fascinating and outrageous. Dhillon tells Carlson that the civil rights division of DOJ is famously liberal and that when she made it clear that they were going to adjust the division to align with the Trump presidency, that hundreds of lawyers quit. The ones who stuck around, actually held ‘crying sessions’ to express their unhappiness over the new reality. It’s like they are a bunch of liberal college students who...

If you want to understand where the left’s obsession with racial “equity” and “reparations” leads to, look no further than South Africa — where white farmers are allegedly being murdered and face discrimination for the crime of being white. But good luck finding honest coverage of what’s transpiring there in the corporate media, which are hellbent on covering up or dismissing the reality so that Americans don’t begin to question the real goal of the left’s racial resentment agenda.A new law in South Africa means white farmers could have their land taken away without being paid for it. As I...

Harvard University has been in the news a lot over the last couple of years, but for all the wrong reasons. They tolerated virulent antisemitism on their Cambridge, Massachusetts campus after the Oct. 7 Hamas slaughter of Israelis, their president resigned over the matter, plus accusations of plagiarism, and lately they’ve been involved in a battle with the Trump administration over DEI and the failure to protect their Jewish students from hate.But it just got worse:A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager recently entered a plea in relation to an alleged scheme to steal and sell donated body parts.Cedric Lodge,...

The Pentagon is seeking contractors to build and maintain a secure software platform to track data and investigations for its All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which handles reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) that may threaten national security. A new notice reveals plans for a custom case management system on the Defense Department’s top-secret intranet (JWICS). “The intent is to field this capability for AARO personnel at AARO HQ and for use at supporting organizations,” officials wrote. A defense official told DefenseScoop this is AARO’s first solicitation since its 2022 creation. UAP includes UFOs and trans-medium objects. “AARO currently uses...

Katarina Witt of the German Democratic Republic placed 1st in this portion of the competition. Her blue, skirtless feather-trimmed costume for a showgirl-themed short program was considered too theatrical and sexy, and led to a change in the ISU regulations dubbed the "Katarina rule" which required female skaters to wear more modest clothing; skirts were required to cover the buttocks and crotch. In 1994, skating a Robin Hood-themed program, Witt stated, "I wore the Robin Hood – like a man's costume – because I didn't want to be accused of seducing the judges this time." Katarina Witt - 1988...

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. Earlier that day, Trump had shown visiting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa video of Malema leading rally chants of “Kill the Boer!”, “Kill the farmer!”, “Shoot to kill!”, and other incendiary slogans. Ramaphosa tried to argue that Malema’s rhetoric did not represent the government’s policies, but Trump countered that South Africa had passed a law allowing expropriation of land without compensation, that it had racially discriminatory laws, and that...
