Democrat gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill said she would push for New Jersey classrooms to mandate LGBTQ curriculum with no parental opt-out if she were to become governor. Sherrill made the comments during a primary debate in May, but the controversial remarks have resurfaced in the days leading up to the New Jersey gubernatorial election between Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli on November 4. “I believe that parents have the right to oversee their children’s education,” Sherrill said. “I would push an LGBTQ education into our schools. Parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but this...

Game 5 may have been played in L.A., but Toronto fans on the Dodger Stadium concourse were arguably responsible for the loudest chants after the final out was recorded Wednesday night. “LET’S GO BLUE JAYS! ONE MORE WIN!” The Blue Jays, led by a nearly unhittable 22-year-old rookie, glided to a 6-1 victory over the Dodgers, giving the team a chance to win the World Series at home Friday. It’s been 32 years since the Jays have been this close, and Toronto fans could barely contain their excitement. “We’re feeling good! ‘93, I was in the building. We’re going to...

Fool's Ball, Week Nine Your home for all things Fool's Ball! In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

The former White House adviser Katie Miller—mother of three young children, and wife of the presidential right-hand man Stephen—walked out of her front door one Thursday morning last month and was confronted by a woman she did not know. When she told this story on Fox News, she described the encounter as a protest that crossed a line. The stranger had told Miller: “I’m watching you,” she said. This was the day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It also wasn’t anything new.

"This class is an indoctrination of modern racial ideology," one student said.Students at Michigan State University hoping to become the educators of the next generation are forced to take a race-centered course that follows “the guiding principles of the Black Lives Matter” movement and requires students to read from a book condemning “whiteness.”Course materials obtained by the Young America’s Foundation group on MSU’s campus and shared with The Daily Wire show that one class for future teachers pushes leftist theories on race. The introductory three-credit class, “TE 101: Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education,” is required for all...

King Charles will be seen 'as never before' as he teams up with adventurer Steve Backshall for a new documentary. In a new 90-minute ITV documentary, to be shown as part of the channel's Christmas schedule, the King will speak to Steve as the latter retraces the Royal's steps from his 1975 trip to the Canadian Arctic. The monarch, 76, is set to discuss the 'devastating effects' of climate change during his appearance in the programme, which is titled Steve Backshall's Royal Arctic Challenge.

— Britain’s King Charles has started a process to strip his brother Andrew of his titles and given him notice to move out of his mansion, Buckingham Palace said Thursday. Andrew, 65, has faced renewed scrutiny over his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following the release of his sexual assault accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl.” Giuffre – who the prince claims never to have met – said in the memoir that Andrew sexually assaulted her while she was a teenager. Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Andrew has repeatedly...

Virginia Giuffre was a "huge Trump fan," according to the woman who helped write her posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl. Giuffre's ghostwriter, Amy Wallace, spoke with CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Tracy Smith about the book, as well as Giuffre's feelings toward Trump, a former friend of Epstein. "She was a huge Trump fan, because he campaigned on releasing the Epstein files," Wallace revealed in the interview, which was broadcast on Oct. 19. "She was very excited that he had made that one of the main planks of his campaign, and she felt validated by it." Giuffre did not implicate Trump in...

There’s a saying on the conservative internet that “the left can’t meme.” While conservatives have proven adept at churning out punchy, ironic, and relevant memes, both visual and verbal, leftists respond with ponderous diatribes that consist of walls of words and muddy, confusing images. In a world of 3-second attention spans, their messaging fails dismally.It turns out that our White House can meme very well, too. Nothing more perfectly exemplifies this than the official White House website response to the Democrat hysteria regarding the upgrade that President Trump is doing to the East Wing of the White House.James Hoban’s original...

In 2021, Random House published a book by software tycoon Bill Gates titled How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. The message was clear: The world is heading toward a climate catastrophe if humans keep using fossil fuels. Everyone in the world had been hearing that message loud and clear for the previous two decades, and Gates, who’s been moonlighting as a climate expert for just as long, was not only one of the loudest voices to broadcast it, but someone who had put piles of money where his mouth was.But something very interesting happened this week. Sure, he still believes...

House Speaker Mike Johnson is noticeably silent on whether there will be House hearings and impeachment proceedings following bombshell revelations in the Arctic Frost scandal. Senate Republicans revealed Wednesday that the DOJ and FBI under then-President Joe Biden compiled what’s being described as an “enemies list” of Republicans. It was also revealed that the Biden administration wiretapped the phones of several high-ranking Republicans as part of its “get-Trump” lawfare.In particular, Jack Smith “secretly obtained phone record data from at least eight senators and one congressman,” according to Sen. Chuck Grassley. Smith subpoenaed both Verizon and AT&T for records — with...

https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-orders-nuclear-weapons-testing-to-be-carried-out-by-the-guys-from-dude-perfect U.S. — For the first time since 1992, the United States planned to resume nuclear weapons testing. President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume tests immediately and to "get the guys from Dude Perfect" to do it. With rival nations like Russia and China making significant strides in their nuclear weapons programs, Trump reportedly determined that the resumption of testing was urgently needed, with the popular YouTube channel being the perfect team to lead the charge. "Because of other countries' testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to get the guys from Dude Perfect to test...

Neoconservative “Never Trumper” Bill Kristol endorsed socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, saying he wishes he was less “against Israel and all that” but calling him “a very impressive politician.”In an October 9 interview with Claremont McKenna College (CMC) student newspaper The Forum, the ex-Republican political commentator described the prospect of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo becoming mayor as “ridiculous.”##“You know, New York City gets to have a left-wing mayor,” Kristol told the outlet, which noted that he serves as chairman of the CMC center that hosts the student publication.“It’s not the first time, and it’s different...

Saikat Chakrabarti has audacious plans to change American politics.SAN FRANCISCO — Saikat Chakrabarti faces a daunting enough task in trying to oust Nancy Pelosi from Congress. And now here he is, daydreaming about targeting her successor in Democratic leadership.“Imagine if we go after Hakeem Jeffries as our first thing,” he says. “That will raise a ton of money right now, in this moment.”This moment, in Chakrabarti’s mind, is the prospect of a populist uprising on the left that spans the country, and one that he is hoping to ride to victory in his primary challenge against the former speaker. And...

Among these ‘dolls’ is actor Bel Priestley, model Munroe Bergdorf, as well as various other ‘content creators’ and ‘activists’. The cover-shot...

It’s probably already too late to change the outcome of the benighted mayoral race in New York City. But I recall a time when Madam President Hillary Clinton seemed inevitable. Nonetheless, the nation — and the world — launched into the Great Meme Wars, and we all laughed our butts off. When Donald Trump won a surprise victory, the memes — and the laughs — merely escalated. Today, the president himself is one of the biggest s**t-posters on the internet. Yet somehow, Zohran Mamdani, the Islamist Socialist about to become mayor of the erstwhile greatest city on Earth, has run...

@freethepeople One of the main reasons why the government remains shut down — and why Speaker Johnson (R-La.) is preventing the House of Representatives from convening — is that Massie has the votes to release the Epstein files.
