A foreign-born Democrat went completely mask-off during an interview that is going viral with a borderline genocidal statement against white people. Social media users are in a total frenzy after discovering an interview Texas State Rep. Gene Wu (D-Houston) did with liberal journalist Jose Antonio Vargas of Define American back in December 2024. At one point in the discussion, Vargas asked Wu what it would take for Democrats to start winning again in Texas and across America. His response was horrifying. Wu, who was born in China, responded by saying that voters of color will start winning only when they...

[Catholic Caucus] Bishop Strickland: The Church is facing a ‘real emergency’An emergency measured by silence where there must be answers. In tolerance where there must be correction. In shepherds who refuse to name wolves while those who simply want to guard the flock are treated as a problem.Long before we knew about politics, before we knew the arguments, before we knew how to quibble over details, we were taught something in school that shaped our bones. At the Alamo, there came a moment when there were no more letters to send, no reinforcements coming, no negotiations left to try. The...

Dems have been calling for ICE body cameras, but as I noted a few days ago... Body cameras have far more consistently proven that law enforcement acted correctly than otherwise. There’s a reason that Secretary Noem is happy to go along with the idea and why most police departments realized that body cams were a good thing once the impact became clear. In both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti cases, it was cameras and body cameras that provided the damning evidence that dismantled the ‘bloody shirt’ that the media was waving hysterically after the two radicals attacked law enforcement....

WASHINGTON — President Trump announced Thursday that a massive prayer event will be held on the National Mall this coming May — declaring it is time “to rededicate America as one nation under God,” as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday this year. Trump revealed the event during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington Hilton, where he also doubled down on his commitment to religious liberty in the US. Trump did not specify why May 17 was selected, however, shortly before the Declaration of Independence, the colonial Congress had declared May 17, 1776, a national day of...

Thai PM claims election victory as early results show conservatives ahead Jonathan Head - South East Asia correspondent; Thanyarat Doksone Sun, February 8, 2026 at 11:31 AM EST Prime Minister Anutin Charnavirakul has claimed victory in Thailand's general election, with early vote counts putting his ruling conservatives well ahead of their rivals.

With 56% of the votes counted, Anutin's Bhumjaithai party projected to win 197 seats in...

@TRobinsonNewEra It's becoming very common of invaders waiting outside nightclubs and frogmarching drunk women away to rape. Be careful out there, girls stay in groups, they've imported beasts. Hat's off to the guy filming, very likely saved these girls from rape.

He said he’s not sure when that might be but plans to ask for a deferral, until...

In November, Minaj appeared at the United Nations in support of the Trump administration to speak on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. In December, she was interviewed by Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk and the chairwoman of Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization. Then, after sharing increasingly supportive social media posts of conservative politics and the Trump administration, Minaj met with Trump and described herself as “probably the president’s number one fan." The move has been met with backlash from many of the rappers’ fans. Videos of her music being booed in clubs have gone viral,...

A photograph from the Epstein files shows a chummy 2015 dinner attended by some of Silicon Valley's most powerful figures, with Jeffrey Epstein later boasting the gathering was 'wild'. The image, released by the US Department of Justice, shows Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg seated at a dinner table alongside SpaceX boss Elon Musk, and Joi Ito, the former director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab.

According to reports, an Australian tourism firm found itself embroiled in controversy earlier this year when it put out an article about an idyllic destination known as the Weldborough Hot Springs. ... Keen to visit the hot springs but with no idea how to actually get there, tourists headed to the general area and then asked local businesses for directions. The trouble was, the hot springs didn't actually exist. It turned out that the company had been using an AI to write some of its articles and the system had 'hallucinated' the entire thing. The firm's owner explained that they...

Hello, all. I'm considering spending winters in Jacksonville Beach, FL; mainly because I'm tired of the NE winters, this one being particularly bad. Based on some research I've done, it seems that it may be possible to live within walking (or biking) distance of stores for basic food items, restaurants, etc. (which is what I'm able to do now, and would like to have). JAX airport appears to be about 40 minutes from the beach area, which is not too bad, and the flight down from the NE is only about 2.5 hours which is also nice.

The British government said it had referred Peter Mandelson's correspondence with Jeffery Epstein to police because it appeared that "market sensitive information" had been "compromised."LONDON — A rare royal apology, resignations and allegations of leaked government intel: The new release of Epstein documents has provoked outrage and a demand for answers in Europe over ties between prominent figures and the late sex offender. Norway’s royal family has found itself at the center of a storm over the more than 3 million documents the Justice Department released Friday. And in Britain, the former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have...

Amber Glenn, a figure skater with Team USA in the Winter Olympics, claimed that it had been a “hard time” for the LGBTQ community under the Trump administration. While speaking to reporters, Glenn claimed that the Trump administration’s policies weren’t “just affecting the queer community, but many other communities,” according to The Blast. “It’s been a hard time for the community overall and this administration. It isn’t the first time that we’ve had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights,” Glenn told reporters. “And now, especially, it’s not just affecting the queer community,...
