With college campuses becoming breeding grounds for antisemitism, attacks in the United States have surged 893% according to data released by the Anti-Defamation League, the highest level ever recorded by the civil rights organization. Inside of two weeks, two major attacks by fringe factions have left people injured or dead in the United States. It's part of a concerning trend that shows an 893% increase in anti-Semitic attacks over the last ten years. The Anti-Defamation League has produced a report showing that in 2015, there were 942 instances; in 2024 there were 9,354. Much of the hatred-turned-antisemitism-turned-terrorism is found on...

The family of a man accused of launching an “antisemitic attack” that injured at least 12 protesters in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday will been taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced Tuesday. DHS is investigating "to what extent" the family of suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, "knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it," Noem wrote on X.

This summer, Walt Disney will live again in robotic form as part of the new Disneyland show “Walt Disney — A Magical Life.” Disney’s granddaughter Joanna Miller says the animatronic goes against the wishes of her grandfather, who, she claims, never wanted to be a robot. Joanna Miller was 10 — no, “10 and three-quarters,” she clarifies — when she lost her grandfather. Even then, in December 1966, she shared him with the world. For Miller’s grandad was Walt Disney, a name that would emblazen one of the largest entertainment conglomerates in the world, and come to signify uniquely American...

"They (Ukraine) don't have any cards, but they play it tough. But we're not going to let this continue." (Trump said this three months ago during the Trump, Zelensky, JDVance, Marco Rubio press conference White House) In a cheeky nod to Trump's card analogy, the Business Ukraine journal posted a succinct seven-word taunt aimed at Trump. "Today Zelensky played the King of Drones," they wrote following news of the (audacious) aerial strikes. Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian defense journalist, made a pointed reference to Zelensky's public humiliation in the Oval Office. "This is what happens when a proud nation under attack...

Nate Silver’s latest blog post notes that conservatives are up 31 points among those with self-described excellent mental health, and down 26 among those with poor mental health. Democrats have turned themselves into the party of the neurotic, the unstable, and the miserable. If you’re happy and well-adjusted, vote Republican.

Nope, not satire. Just your tax dollars at work. The federal Bureau of Prisons must continue providing hormone therapy and social accommodations to hundreds of transgender inmates following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that led to a disruption in medical treatment, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said a federal law prohibits prison officials from arbitrarily depriving inmates of medications and other lifestyle accommodations that its own medical staff has deemed to be appropriate. Ready for the twist? He was a Reagan appointee, in fact! The woke rot goes deep, friends.

Former Trump strategist and War Room host Steve Bannon is calling for the arrest of Sen. Lindsay Graham over his trip to Ukraine and pushing for the war to continue. Bannon stated that at the very least, the South Carolina career politician should have his passport revoked and be barred from returning to the United States during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Monday. “He’s giving Ukrainians false hope,” Bannon said. “Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay...

In his current term, the influencer-in-chief has left his own record for social media missives in the dust. He posts day and night.President Donald Trump is posting on the internet with a velocity and ferocity far beyond that of his first term, surprising aides with predawn messages fired off at a blistering pace. As of Sunday, Trump had posted 2,262 times to his company’s social network Truth Social in the 132 days since his inauguration, a Washington Post analysis has found — more than three times the number of tweets he sent during the same period of his first presidency,...

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka filed a lawsuit against the US Attorney for New Jersey on Tuesday over his arrest last month while protesting outside an ICE detention facility in his city. Baraka accused interim head attorney Alina Habba, who is also a personal lawyer of President Trump, of “malicious prosecution” and violating his Fourth Amendment rights following the May 9 arrest. “Defandant Habba issued the defamatory statement and authorized the false arrest of Mayor Baraka despite clear evidence that Mayor Baraka had not committed the petty offense of ‘defiant trespass,’” the lawsuit stated.

Days after attacking a megabill that advances President Donald Trump's legislative agenda, Elon Musk slammed it again on Tuesday calling it a "disgusting abomination" in a post on X."I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk wrote of the House-passed bill. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."Musk followed up with another post claiming the bill "will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt."

Liberals in San Francisco, the epicenter of progressive ideology, just received a sharp and swift rebuke over their latest destructive education idea: “Grading for Equity.” The ferocity and tenor of the backlash – which came from both sides of the political aisle – is a revealing vignette into Democrat dysfunction. The equity grading plan, quietly introduced by San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Maria Su late last month, sought to dismantle traditional academic grading in district high schools and replace it with a system designed not to reward effort and achievement but to conceal failure. Specifically, schools would do away...

Europe’s political class has turned its back on the people it was supposed to protect. The people have taken notice. Over the weekend, a conservative Polish historian named Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice opposition (and President Trump), narrowly won the Polish presidential election. For the European political establishment, Nawrocki’s victory was a catastrophe — a harbinger of right-wing fascism looming over the continent. Why? Because Nawrocki campaigned against the mass immigration policy of Brussels while promoting conservative Catholic values and Polish nationalism. During his victory speech Sunday night, Nawrocki said, “My Poland is a Poland without illegal...

Border czar Tom Homan warned Monday that he’s “convinced” the US will suffer a major terrorist attack as a direct result of former President Joe Biden’s immigration and border policies.“It’s coming,” Homan said of the possibility of a 9/11-style attack conducted by migrants who illegally snuck across the southern border under Biden. The roughly 2 million so-called “gotaway” migrants whom Border Patrol agents never apprehended during the previous administration concern Homan more than the drug smuggling or sex trafficking that took place on the US-Mexico boundary during Biden’s only term in office, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “These...

A judge in California on Monday blocked the Trump administration from using the wartime Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants in the Los Angeles area, ruling that the government hasn't promised adequate due process. The ruling by U.S. District Judge John Holcomb — who was nominated by President Trump in 2019 — is the latest to limit the administration's controversial practice of rapidly deporting people accused of being members of the gang Tren de Aragua under the 1798 law, which allows removals during an "invasion" or "predatory incursion" of the United States. Courts in three other states have also...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Homeland Security official during President Donald Trump’s first administration who authored an anonymous op-ed sharply critical of the president is calling on independent government watchdogs to investigate after Trump ordered the department to look into his government service.Miles Taylor, once chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, warned in an interview with The Associated Press of the far-reaching implications of Trump’s April 9 memorandum, “Addressing Risks Associated with an Egregious Leaker and Disseminator of Falsehoods,” when it comes to suppressing criticism of the president. That memo accused Taylor of concocting stories to sell...

SECRET SERVICE SCOOP: ROWE FINALLY OUT AT SECRET SERVICE -- WILL IT MARK AN END TO DEI PRIORITIES?

After years of DEI hiring priorities,...
