Chris Wallace is learning a harsh lesson after he abruptly left Fox News after 18 years to join the left-wing outlet at CNN. Wallace was lured onto CNN’s new online streaming service called CNN+ but it’s drawing fewer than 10,000 daily viewers. Wallace is quickly learning that no one is watching him anymore. Sources say Wallace is suffering “daily breakdowns,” and asking his staffers “to count how many times a day his promo is playing.” Without stronger marketing, it appears very few people are tuning in. Jon Nicosia, president of News Cycle Media and former managing editor of Mediaite, says...

The 21-year-old climate activist was invited to a pro-Palestinian protest camp in Dortmund after attending a similar protest in Berlin on Monday. Politicians in Germany think that climate activist Greta Thunberg should be banned from entering the country over her participation in pro-Palestinian protests, according to the domestic policy spokesman for Germany's biggest opposition party, the Christian Democratic Union. Alexander Throm told BILD newspaper that it would be "not only appropriate but even necessary that the Federal Minister of the Interior issues an entry ban against this anti-Semite in the future". Throm said of the climate activist, "Anyone who enters...

Climate change activists pretended to drown themselves in oil and gas in a nightmarish protest outside a United Nations agency in London on Friday, gory photos of the stunt show. The Ocean Rebellion campaigners staged the frightening demonstration on the steps of the International Maritime Organization — the UN agency responsible for regulating maritime transport. Footage showed one activist, dressed as an “ocean goddess,” donning a fish bowl over her head as another poured in fake black oil to make it appear as if she was drowning. The woman could be seen screaming as the liquid engulfed her face before...

Bush in 2004, saying that the incident was ultimately what inspired him to get involved in politics, according to the Examiner. However, Walz himself was not refused entry, according to a source who spoke anonymously with the...

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol will hold its ninth hearing next week, and it will likely be the panel’s last before releasing its final report by the end of the year. The Jan. 6 committee will reconvene publicly at 1 p.m. EDT on Sept. 28 and is expected to feature “substantial footage” of the Capitol riot and “significant witness testimony” that has not been previously seen, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said on Tuesday. The hearing comes as the panel is racing to finalize its report on its yearlong investigation into the events leading up...

The pro-Palestinian activists who disrupted campuses across the nation are plotting their return for the new academic year. Demonstrators say all forms of protest are still on the table, despite the more than 2,000 arrests so far, as students try to figure out a new strategy to demand their schools divest from Israel, among other goals. “What we will see [is] the students will continue their activism, will continue doing what they’ve done in conventional and unconventional ways. So not only protests, not only encampments, kind of any — any available means necessary to push Columbia to divest from from...

House Speaker Mike Johnson assured a pro-Israel crowd that if Democratic lawmakers get out of hand when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Congress on Wednesday, he will arrest them. Mr. Johnson’s threat to lock up Democrats came during remarks at a Republican Jewish Coalition event at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, less than a week before Mr. Netanyahu speaks before both chambers of Congress. “I want you to know that there’s a number of Democrats in the House who have said they’re going to boycott the event … and then some others are going to protest,” Mr. Johnson...

Self-proclaimed "radical" protesters disrupted a performance of a Broadway musical about American suffragettes on Tuesday, arguing it is a "White wash" of history. Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is a co-producer of the Broadway production of "Suffs: The Musical," which is described on its website as a show that "brings to life a complicated chapter in the ongoing battle for the right to vote: the American women’s suffrage movement," and "boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over."

Nurturing an ancient, visceral, ugly emotion. Antisemitism is a deep-seated hatred of Jews. Facts don’t stand a chance against this ancient, visceral emotion. The attack against Jews in front of a synagogue in Los Angeles has been well-documented. I always stand in amazement how much Jew-haters need to justify their actions instead of just saying that they hate Jews and want to kill them. A few days after the melee, I heard the most disingenuous explanation as to why the pro-Hamas crowd attacked Jews in the City of Angels. There was a seminar at the Adas Torah synagogue on how...

With the Democratic National Convention less than two months away, a coalition of community organizations voiced “serious concerns” Thursday about the Chicago Police Department’s newly revised mass arrest policy. The overhaul stems from closed-door meetings authorized by the federal judge presiding over the department’s court-ordered reform push after the so-called consent decree coalition warned that an earlier version of the policy “eviscerates protections” that are otherwise granted to protesters. In a court filing, the coalition acknowledges the latest draft policy contains various “improvements,” including changes that ban the controversial containment tactic known as “kettling” and prohibit officers from arresting protesters...

According to a translation of his remarks reported by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), he stressed that the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah should capitalize...

A pair of climate protesters was arrested Wednesday after allegedly spraying the Stonehenge monument in England with orange paint, according to local authorities. The protesters, from the group Just Stop Oil, sprayed the monument with orange paint Wednesday, one day ahead of the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the environmental activist group said in a statement on the social platform X. The two individuals were “demanding the incoming government sign up to a legally binding treaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030,” Just Stop Oil said. Wiltshire Police told The Associated Press...

Pro-Palestinian protesters reportedly firebombed “the side of a building” on the University of California Berkeley (UCB) campus and claimed that students had been “attacked” on another campus.
