Ruddy forced PBS to yank the odious work of racial and religious agitprop from the public airwaves.

An arsenal of US stealth bombers is expected to soon reach UK military bases as President Trump warned Iran that “the big one” could be imminent. American B-2 stealth bombers were slated to land at air bases at Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire after the British government initially rejected the Trump administration’s request to carry out strikes from the bases, according to reports. But Prime Minister Keir Starmer later reversed course, allowing the US fleet to use UK runways within “a matter of days,” the Telegraph reported Wednesday. “When we say more to come,...

Iran is reportedly delaying naming a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader killed over the weekend in U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, for security concerns as Israel has asserted that it will target whoever is instated, while President Donald Trump has doubled down on wanting to influence the selection. The New York Times reported, citing two unnamed Iranian officials, that while Khamenei’s second-eldest son, 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei, has emerged as the strongest contender to take Tehran’s top job, no one has been named out of fear that they will be targeted.

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, Labor Department data released Friday showed, sharply missing economists' expectations and stalling the nascent hiring growth that started the year. The unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%, while the share of people who have been without work for 27 weeks or more as a percentage of all unemployed hit 25.3%. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had anticipated 55,000 new positions after January's surprise print of 130,000 payrolls. Those gains were also revised lower by 4,000 positions, while December's previously reported addition of 48,000 jobs was updated to a loss of 17,000 — a...

A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible “prohibited access” file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress. “This is it — the deep state,” one of the sources said.

Selections from The Camp of the Saints revisit a dystopian warning about mass migration, cultural collapse, and the West’s moral paralysis—one that many readers now see as uncomfortably prophetic. The following selections come from Ethan Rundell’s new translation of The Camp of the Saints (Vauban Books, 2025), a 1973 dystopian novel about a mass migration from the developing world to Europe that triggers political paralysis, moral collapse, and the unraveling of Western civilization, and whose warnings have lost none of their force. The first passage is from the “Big Other,” Raspail’s preface to the 2011 edition of the book. It...

It happened in the Tenderloin neighborhood just before 6 p.m. near Cedar and Polk Streets. Two suspects were arrested.

You may not recognize Karan Singh's name, but you've likely heard of the problem his case exemplifies: workers who entered the U.S. illegally and began driving massive trucks, even if they were clearly unqualified – creating hazardous conditions for everyone on the road. Singh, an Indian national, entered the U.S. illegally during the Biden administration, was released, and then claimed asylum.

Within hours of the launch of the US-Israeli assault on Iran last weekend, both the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron and Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem were shut down. Israeli occupation forces expelled worshippers and justified the closures under the pretext of wartime “preventive measures”. There are no bomb shelters in Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, nor are there public shelters. Among Palestinians in 1948 territories, around half of the population has no place to seek refuge from air attacks, according to figures from Israel’s own state comptroller. Preventing worshippers from reaching the mosques, and...

Texas Democrat James Talarico once called on the federal government to hire abortionists to kill babies. The leftist Senate hopeful wanted Joe Biden to spend taxpayer dollars to hire abortionists as employees and open abortion businesses on federal property — including in every courthouse and national park — to expand the killing of unborn babies across the nation. In a June 24, 2022, letter to Biden, then-state Rep. Talarico urged “extraordinary steps” to counter pro-life protections enacted after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Among his specific demands were “leasing federal property to abortion clinics on federal lands or...

Russia has been sharing intelligence with Iran on the location of US forces in the Middle East in an attempt to help Tehran fight back, according to a new report. The Kremlin has passed on the locations of American warships, aircrafts and other military assets ever since “Operation Epic Fury” kicked off a week ago, three sources told the Washington Post Friday. “It does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,” one official familiar with the intel told the outlet.

Most students of history have likely pondered the question: Is it the times that make the man, or is it the man that makes the times? The question, though superficially intriguing, seems to have an easy enough answer: Sometimes it is the times that makes the man, and sometimes it is the man that makes the times. Rarest of all is the man who is both summoned and elevated by the times, on the one hand, and who has the courage and conviction to shape the times in return, on the other hand. It is this lattermost group of men...

The Texans' sacrifice at the Alamo and their improbable victory at San Jacinto still define our world in ways few understand.Today marks the 190th anniversary of the martyrdom of the heroes of the Alamo, who died to delay the dictator Santa Anna's army long enough so that Texian troops could rally and defend their homes. Singular among those heroes was Colonel and Congressman David S. Crockett, “King of the Wild Frontier.” Born in 1786 in that part of North Carolina which was then the renegade “State of Franklin” but not yet the State of Tennessee, “Davy” Crockett was a legend...
