Why does the famed leftist radio bastion have all its broadcasters speak in that insufferable whisper? Here is the somewhat disturbing answer. It is a common occurrence for a regular person to be flipping through radio channels, eventually to come across the style of radio presentation known as “NPR voice” — a soft-spoken, breathy, quietly pompous mode of vocal performance suggestive of an intimate conversation among a small circle of elites. The question immediately arises: Who could possibly find this manner of presentation appealing, and why? The answer lies in understanding NPR as the distilled essence of sociological, ideological, and...

🚨🇺🇸 MINNESOTA WHISTLEBLOWERS WARNED TO STAY SILENT: “YOU’LL LOSE YOUR JOB, YOUR HOME, & THEY’LL TRACK YOUR KIDS” Minnesota State Rep. Marion Rarick says whistleblowers trying to expose fraud in state-run programs are being hit with threats straight out of a political thriller. She warned that the intimidation is systemic, and basically if you speak up, expect your life to be dismantled. Whistleblowers are supposed to be protected by law, and if they’re being hunted for telling the truth, the system is being weaponized. @MarionONeill1 : “Retaliation has been going on for quite some time and it’s now escalated. You’re...

President Donald Trump announced in an early Friday morning Truth Social post that he has "cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks" against Venezuela in light of the "cooperation" between the foreign nation and the U.S. "Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of 'Seeking Peace.'

FIRST ON FOX: The Democratic National Committee filed a Supreme Court amicus brief Thursday seeking to counter the Republican Party in a major election law case this year — setting the stage for a high-stakes court clash that could determine the fate of millions of mail-in ballots nationwide. The Supreme Court agreed in November to take up the case, Watson v. Republican National Committee, which centers on states' ability to count mail-in ballots that are received within five days of an election. At issue is a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee and Mississippi GOP in 2024, which seeks...

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing: The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run. Many government experts, non-government professionals,...

GOP lawmakers and pro-life groups are strongly pushing back against a suggestion by President Donald Trump Tuesday that House Republicans should be “a little flexible” during health care legislation negotiations on the Hyde Amendment, a bipartisan provision protecting tax dollars from funding abortions that has been renewed annually for the last 50 years. During the president’s remarks at a day-long House Republican policy meeting, Trump discussed the possibility of a potential health care bill that could include a “health care account” that would “let the money go directly to the people.” Then he added, “You have to be a little...

In the olden days, when people had their property confiscated, their freedom crushed, and their lives destroyed in the name of Marxism, their fate was inflicted by strongmen like Joseph Stalin. Nowadays, there is the added humiliation of being menaced with this malicious ideology by metrosexual soy boys like Zohran Mamdani and silver spoon AWFLs like his henchwoman Cea Weaver, who cannot find the inner strength to deal with being called out on her hypocrisy. The New York Post reports on Weaver, Mamdani’s Commissar for Socialized Housing: The 37-year-old, who has faced backlash for blasting homeownership as a “weapon of...
