Progressivism is a house of cards built precariously on a foundation of sand. It hinges entirely on demonstrably false narratives intentionally designed to sow division and to “rub raw the resentments of the people,” as Luciferian Left-wing strategist Saul Alinsky put it. One of those narratives is that America was founded as, and continues to be, a systemically racist, white supremacist nation in which the purported “Land of Opportunity” excludes the awkwardly termed “people of color” from its promises and prosperity. Racism resides in our country’s very DNA, claimed Barack Obama.Obama’s condemnation of the country that twice elected him President...

Russian President Vladimir Putin – […] They’ve made a lot of noise many times, threatening us with a complete blockade. They’ve even said openly, without hesitation, that they want to make the Russian people suffer. That’s the word they chose. They’ve drawn up plans, each more fantastical than the last one. I think the time has come to calm down, to take a look around, to get their bearings, and to start building relations in a completely different way.We also understand that the polycentric world is highly dynamic. It appears fragile and unstable because it is impossible to permanently fix...

Dear Secretary Lutnick: On behalf of the members of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who are businesses of all sizes, I write concerning the President’s recent proclamation implementing a $100,000 fee on H-1B petitions. Since 1990, the H-1B program has helped grow the U.S. economy, create American jobs, and lift wages for U.S. workers, by providing a path for a limited number of highly-skilled individuals located around the world to enter the United States and contribute to our economy. Studies have demonstrated that the H-1B program contributes to increased domestic employment and higher wages. Studies that specifically looked at...

America has seen a trend of attacks on law enforcement. When I was a prosecutor, people often asked me if my life was in danger, given that I publicly targeted murderers, drug cartels, and terrorists. “Sure, I am at some risk,” I typically responded. “But the danger to me is minuscule compared with the danger to any police officer pulling over a car on a lonely road at night.” This summer and early fall, America has seen a disturbing trend of people targeting and killing cops. If left unabated, the effects could be devastating—to police and to the country. It...

The World Naked Bike Ride is planning an “emergency ride” in response to the National Guard’s deployment in Portland. The group posted on Instagram about an “Emergency World Naked Bike Ride” in the works. In the post, organizers say they’re getting ready to ride for another cause, responding to what they call the “militarization of our city.” The post says organizers are still working on the details, and it’s not clear exactly when the ride could take place. The World Naked Bike Ride typically happens every summer, where people bike in the buff to protest pollution from other forms of...

More than 2 million people across Italy rallied in over 100 cities Friday for a one-day general strike to support the residents of Gaza and a humanitarian aid mission, Italy’s largest union said. Italian unions proclaimed the strike after the Global Sumud Flotilla that was trying to break Israel’s naval blockade to deliver aid to Gaza was intercepted by Israeli naval forces Wednesday night. Protests and demonstrations have sprung up all over Europe and globally since then, but they have been particularly strong in Italy. Italy’s conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had sharply criticized the strike. She anticipated it would...

He’s raking in some ‘Cuo’ hard cash. Andrew Cuomo’s bid to topple mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani gained some steam this week – as the former governor raised an eye-whopping $400,000 in donations following Eric Adams’ exit from the race. The six-figure haul came in just under two days following Hizzoner’s announcement that he was dropping his long-shot independent re-election bid on Sunday, according to a campaign source. The loot was just shy of the $421,000 Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa raised over the entire Aug. 19 to Sept. 29 filing deadline. “Voters are just now tuning into this race, and they...

Early in former President Barack Obama’s second term, the Republican-controlled House, backed by outside conservative groups and some of the most vocal elements of the Senate GOP minority, sought to defund his signature legislative achievement, using a government shutdown as leverage. Republicans had campaigned on repealing the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, from virtually the moment it became law. There was a straight line from what then-Vice President Joe Biden hailed as a “big f***ing deal” and what Obama later described as a “shellacking” in the 2010 midterm elections. Republicans toppled the Democrats’ huge House majority and seized...

In a few heavily Muslim areas of Western cities, dogs are now unwelcome. The number of pubs in England has fallen dramatically in recent years. In the Houston, Texas area, of all places, Muslim men walked into stores and tried to convince those stores to remove pork products from their shelves. And then there’s the Islamic scholar who recently said that music is a major sin, and that anyone who listens to music is cursed and will be punished by Allah. So, no puppies, no pork, and no Pavarotti or Pink Floyd. Yeah, sure. In Jolly Olde England, Moussa Kadri...

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Friday gave the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council just 14 days to assign a new prosecutor to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' 2020 Georgia election interference case or the case will be dismissed.

Summary Hamas responds to Gaza plan already accepted by Israel Trump says he believes Hamas ready for peace, Israel must stop bombing Trump earlier warned of consequences if Hamas rejected proposal Trump plan 'a window of opportunity,' U.N. aid chief says CAIRO, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Hamas said on Friday it would agree to some of the terms in U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war, including releasing hostages, but avoided addressing more vexing issues like disarmament and said it would seek further negotiations. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he believed...

Historians traditionally blame the failure of the League of Nations--the post-World War I, Versailles-era dream of President Woodrow Wilson--on many things. Its membership was small (58 nations). The League's utopian rhetoric lacked commensurate force. The postwar ascendant United States refused to join. The winners of World War I, like France and Britain, were terrified of rearming, while the losers, such as Germany and Austria, were eager to. Consequently, the League in the mid-1930s allowed fascist powers to make a mockery of the Versailles Treaty. It could never even enforce its own embargoes and sanctions. Without big power backup, the League...

Masked protesters abandon 100-day siege after increased federal presence and arrestsFor the first time in months, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency building here was not besieged Wednesday night by Antifa creeps, who have clearly been scared off by the Trump administration’s increased presence on the ground.It's a funny thing, just as in President Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., once there are consequences for breaking the law, things get awfully quiet.It was obvious as I approached the facility just before nightfall that something had changed. Gone for the most part was the menacing gang of masked Antifa with...

The University of California San Francisco scrubbed its website of details on its provision of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgical removals of healthy breasts and genitals for minors, following a query from then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show, according to a massive production to Judicial Watch in a California Public Records Act lawsuit. The UC system's designated campus for health sciences and University of Southern California-affiliated Children's Health Los Angeles also hid the fact that a 9-year-old was part of their blocker study through the National Institutes of Health, when they corrected New York Times reporters who asked about...
