The overlooked value of social media is how it provides people with a global platform for broadcasting rank stupidity. This week’s first contestant in the race to the bottom is Ken Martin, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, who plowed new ground by comparing events in Minnesota to those in -- wait for it -- Iran. That’s right; thousands of Iranians being slaughtered because they want to be free of the mullahs is exactly like one American being killed for trying to run down an ICE agent. "From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis,” wrote Martin, “people are rising up...

An article published on rollingout.com claims to “debunk” myths about guns with “real data”. All the “real data” used is from advocates who oppose the ownership of guns. If you skip to the end of the article, the source listed for the numbers used in the article is Everytown Research. Everytown Research is one of the propaganda arms of the anti-Second Amendment organization Everytown for Gun Safety, financed by Michael Bloomberg, a staunch anti-Second Amendment advocate. To use such a source to “debunk” myths is similar to asking the Flat Earth Society to “debunk” myths about gravity.The pitch starts with...

Left-wing activists in Minneapolis are targeting ICE with a highly organized on-the-ground harassment and tracking operation, complete with hotel and license plate lists, “noise demonstrations,” and training on how to “stop ICE.” The extremist groups at the forefront of this operation have received millions of dollars from the left’s most powerful money machines, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center is the Sunrise Movement, which has shifted from climate activism into anti-ICE agitation in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Sunrise operatives...

Scott Adams, the creator of the long-running Dilbert comic strip whose art satirized the typical American workplace, died on Jan. 13 at 68 years old after a battle with cancer. “I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him,” Adams declared in the message, adding that he hoped he was “still...

Social media users have found yet another goth girl to obsess over, but this one is just a little more problematic than the usual fare. Her name is Amelia, and she's an antagonist in the educational, U.K. government-funded anti-extremist video game Pathways. So, why have far-right communities on social media decided to embrace Amelia as a symbol of anti-immigration? Here's what you need to know.

Boy, nothing will give you an absolute case of the morbs regarding average American educational standards quite like posting a couple of mildly controversial essays, and then catching emails, comments, and drive-by social media’ing. Good lord. “Ian! Why should American give a toss about what happens in a foreign country!” Seriously?1 The mullahs in Tehran have directly — albeit through proxies — been killing Americans since 1980. Lest anyone think that their slogan, “Death to America!” is hyperbole, they have influenced — if not outright funded — terror attacks on U.S. soil. They intentionally and knowingly attempt to goad the...

A solid majority of Americans support military intervention in Venezuela — including an eye-popping 66% of Hispanics — when informed that it’s a hub of narcoterrorism with ties to Iran and Hezbollah, a new poll claimed. The Morning Consult survey conducted for the pro-US energy Council for Secure America asked 2,202 Americans on Jan. 10-11: “As you may know, Venezuela is a known hub for Iranian and Hezbollah terror, including military drone production and narcoterrorism. Does this make you more or less likely to support American intervention in Venezuela?” Sixty percent of respondents said they were more likely to support...
