The assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical transgender activist has once again spotlighted the growing militancy inside the LGBTQ+ protest movement. What the mainstream media won’t tell you is that this rising wave of aggressive activism isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s being carefully studied, organized, and in some cases directly subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars. At the center of this network sits Erica Chenoweth, a Harvard professor who identifies as nonbinary and uses “they/them” pronouns. Chenoweth has built a career researching how youth and LGBTQ+ activists can be mobilized in protest movements, focusing less on morality or safety...

A new report by the Lancet published August 3 reiterates what media repeats daily: plastics are causing diseases, dementia and death. But the article makes it obvious that it is not the manufacturing or use of plastics; it is the recycling. Their solution is more Green spending, not less. No reversal. Burying plastics is safe and easy but never discussed because it would save money. Big Green interests have made trillions of dollars browning the earth and they refuse to stop. When did worldwide panic and spending dramatically accelerate? Buried within these top 100 facts about the green energy carnage...

A new study shows that mangoes, despite their high sugar content, may help prevent diabetes more effectively than low-sugar snacks. Credit: Shutterstock A pioneering study by a George Mason University researcher demonstrates the benefits of foods containing natural sugars compared to those with added sugars. If you were offered two snacks, one with seven grams of sugar and another with more than 30 grams, the healthier pick might seem obvious. But the choice is not always so straightforward. Having less sugar does not automatically make a food better for you. For the nearly 100 million adults in the United States...

Long ago, Americans viewed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with tremendous admiration. It was considered a premier law enforcement agency and was favorably depicted in countless television shows and movies. Sadly, that reputation has suffered in recent years. It changed from being viewed as unbiased and revered to having a reputation as partisan and untrustworthy. This turnabout accelerated during the tenure of James Comey as FBI Director. In May 2017, President Donald Trump fired Comey. Among other issues, Trump was disgusted with Comey’s handling of the phony Russian collusion investigation. He refused to publicly exonerate President Trump, although he...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1:51In Heaven, we will see all things as God sees them. That full perspective will be beyond glorious.

You knew the NFL was gay, but THIS gay? Meet Bad Bunny… He’s performing at the Super Bowl. Woke, Anti-Ice, weirdo. The No Fans League at it again. Meet Bad Bunny… He’s performing at the Super Bowl. Woke, Anti-Ice, weirdo. The No Fans League at it again. Bad Bunny's hit songs include titles like "Yo Perreo Sola" ("I Twerk Alone"), in which he dons a dress and prothetic breasts. LGBT outlet Pink News loved it when they reported on it in 2020. He's been called a "queer icon" who likes to crossdress and makes out with his male backup dancers...

The freed suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has come out of hiding to confront the prosecutor who has accused him of the British toddler's murder. Christian B, who cannot be fully identified under German privacy laws, travelled for hours to try to speak to lawyer Hans Christian Wolters. Mr Wolters has stated publicly that he has evidence, which he has not revealed, to show that Christian B abducted and killed Madeleine, who vanished from her bed during a Portuguese holiday in 2007. Christian B denies any involvement in her disappearance. The suspect, who was released from a rape sentence...

Many thanks to the irreplaceable Julie Kelly for reading Kamala Harris’s new memoir, 107 Days, and posting relevant sections. The section most relevant to Kelly and the folks at Revolver News, who helped break this story, deals with the legendary pipe bombs found on January 6, 2021, near the RNC headquarters in Washington and just outside the DNC HQ. The bottom line: Harris still can’t get her story straight about her activities on January 6, and her lies have been costly for J6ers. In the way of background, for nearly a year after January 6 prosecutors were telling J6 judges...

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said."Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the...

Hillary Clinton says white Christian men are damaging America VIDEO AT LINK.................. In a recent public appearance, Hillary Clinton once again sparked controversy with her statements. This time, the former presidential candidate claimed that white Christian men are causing “great damage” to the United States — remarks that immediately drew backlash from conservatives and defenders of traditional values. For many Republicans, these words are not only a sign of intolerance toward a significant part of American society, but also a reminder of the progressive narrative that blames Christian faith and traditional identity for the country’s current problems. Clinton’s comments, which...

Residents of a San Francisco Bay Area city are on the lookout for an aggressive squirrel that has sent at least two people to the emergency room for medical treatment. Joan Heblack told ABC affiliate KGO-TV that she was walking in the Lucas Valley neighborhood of San Rafael when a squirrel seemingly came out of nowhere and attacked her leg, clawing and biting. “It clamped onto my leg. The tail was flying up here. I was like, ‘Get it off me, get off me!’,” Heblack said. Isabel Campoy also said she was attacked while walking in the same area. The...

Florida’s board of education signed off Wednedsay on a major expansion of charter schools in the state, clearing the way for the privately run schools to “co-locate” inside traditional public schools. It’s the latest push by Florida officials to expand school choice in a state that has long been a national model for conservative education policy. The move comes as some public schools are closing their doors as they grapple with declining enrollments, aging facilities and post-pandemic student struggles. The new regulations approved by the state board build on a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis this...

Ian Andre Roberts is currently registered to vote in Maryland. When he registered in 2017, he reportedly had been working in St. Louis for years. There’s no indication from his resumes that he’s lived in Baltimore since he registered to vote there.

From border coyotes to courtroom decisions, a clandestine industry is exploiting illegal immigrants to bag billion-dollar injury lawsuits which advocates say raise costs for American families. The scheme is simple. An illegal immigrant approaches a personal injury law firm to sue his workplace and property managers for an injury – real, inflated, or fake – for millions of dollars in return for assistance securing up-front loans to pay back the border coyotes that brought him here, Lauren Zelt, executive director of Protecting American Consumers Together, told Just the News. “So what we're seeing in a lot of major cities across...

Tucker Carlson has posted a video denouncing what he believes to be the excessive influence wielded by Prime Minister Netanyahu over President Trump. In a video he posted, Carlson said, "Bibi’s running around — this is a fact, I’m not guessing about this because I talked to people he said it to — is running around the Middle East, his region in his own country and telling people point blank, just stating it, “I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.” He’s saying that — and again I’m not guessing at all, that’s a fact. I dare them to...

unday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said President Donald Trump had weaponized the Department of Justice like no other president. Host Kristen Welker said, “We have been tracking the indictment of James Comey. He’s accused of lying to the Senate in 2020. He notes the fact he was indicted by a federal grand jury. He also says he wants to let the process play out. Do you trust, do you have faith in the judicial system?” Schumer said, “I have no faith in Donald Trump’s judicial system. He has turned this judicial system to...

The National Football League announced Sunday night that Puerto Rican rap star Bad Bunny will be the Apple Music Halftime entertainer for Super Bowl LX, to be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026. Bad Bunny’s given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. The NFL’s announcement comes just weeks after Bad Bunny declared in a print interview he would not tour the United States, even though he is a U.S. citizen, out of fear ICE agents would arrest his fans outside his shows. Instead, Bad Bunny did a 30 show residency in Puerto Rico this...

A disturbing YouTube channel was dedicated entirely to showing AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head, 404 Media reports. Named “Woman Shot AI,” the channel racked up more than 175,000 views since starting on June 20, 2025, the outlet’s investigation found. After 404 sent YouTube a request for comment, the channel was finally taken down. It left behind a grisly legacy. The veritable snuff film hub uploaded 27 videos and gained a following of nearly 1,200 subscribers — a small but alarming following, as you’ll see later. The videos all adhered to a general formula, according to 404:...

For years, Starbucks has been circling the "go woke, go broke" drain, and they've been trying to reverse course: ending their open bathrooms policy, going back to plastic straws, and even reportedly disallowing pride decorations. They've tried everything short of not burning their beans or lowering the price of their drinks to lure back the other half of the country they spurned and have only managed to upset the folks still going to Starbucks. Now according to CNN, Starbucks has announced massive layoffs and store closures. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced Thursday that Starbucks will close hundreds of stores this...
