Americans’ confidence in the mass media has edged down to a new low, with just 28% expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. This is down from 31% last year and 40% five years ago. Meanwhile, seven in 10 U.S. adults now say they have “not very much” confidence (36%) or “none at all” (34%). When Gallup began measuring trust in the news media in the 1970s, between 68% and 72% of Americans expressed confidence in reporting. However, by the next reading in 1997, public...

Traditional values. The crunchiest elements of my left-wing upbringing are back — except this time, on the right. The Make America Healthy Again movement, helmed by the science-avoidant Secretary for Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., purports to steer the country away from the ills of modern living toward a more natural way of being. I know this lifestyle well. Growing up in Boston’s then gentrifying Jamaica Plain in the 1990s, my family belonged to a community center where it was rumored that the Moosewood Cookbook brown glop served therein was occasionally spiked with the devil’s lettuce. Today’s...

The Supreme Court on Friday gave the Trump administration the go-ahead to scrap temporary deportation protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. In their latest emergency order, the justices on the high court paused Obama-appointed District Judge Edward Chen’s September ruling that the Trump administration wrongly terminated an 18-month extension of temporary protected status (TPS) for migrants from Venezuela. Liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson opposed the majority in the unsigned order.

The FBI has cut ties to yet another far-left group that specializes in smearing white Christians and conservatives as “racists” and “haters.”No more will the bureau work with the disgraced and discredited Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Signal.The designation keeps a promise that Patel made at an anti-Christan-bias panel in April. He said the FBI will no longer rely on politicized or ideologically driven propaganda.The FBI cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) earlier this week. “Disgraceful Smear Machine”Patel didn’t mince words about the SPLC, which, as The Daily Signal noted, likely played...

Conversation Viral News NYC @ViralNewsNYC 🚨New Protest Rules Go Live Today — Anarchists Poised to Take Advantage, Police Say Today, the NYPD was officially shackled by a court settlement that critics say will leave the city more vulnerable the next time protests erupt. Phase II of the Payne settlement has gone into effect, and police warn it’s a recipe for disaster. The deal forces cops into a rigid “tiered” protest response system, bans effective crowd-control tactics like kettling, and puts new oversight units over every move the department makes. Instead of trusting trained officers to make split-second decisions in the...

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...

Republican Virginia gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears quickly called on Jones to drop out of the race on Friday, linking him with his ‘running mate’ Spanberger.Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate and former Del. Jay Jones fantasized in conversations with a former colleague about assassinating then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and “wished” death upon Gilbert’s children, a new report revealed Friday.The news comes after Republican state House Del. Kim Taylor, who is running for reelection in Virginia, said she received a death threat last week after Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger told her supporters to “let your...

Greg Price @greg_price11 🚨 National Review just revealed disturbing texts from Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones wishing death on former Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert. “Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.” “If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss other graves”

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. McAfee said he would dismiss the case against all the defendants, which includes President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani, if a new prosecutor was not named or an extension request was granted. File Judge Scott McAfee order "The Georgia Court of Appeals having disqualified the entirety of the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office from further handling of this case, the...
