Left-wing sickos are committing ethnic fraud at an alarming rate Another white liberal was exposed for what appear to be bogus claims of non-white heritage. Vianne Timmons, the president of Memorial University in Canada, became embroiled in scandal earlier this month after critics challenged her past claims of indigenous ancestry. Timmons's claim that she has never identified as a member of the Bras d'Or Mi'kmaq tribe is contradicted by her publicly available résumé and multiple professional biographies that noted her membership in the tribe or her affiliation with an "unrecognized First Nation group." Timmons apologized and took a voluntary (paid)...

Baldwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after being handed a gun with live ammunition on the set of his film Rust in October 2021.

Now Baldwin's team alleges Reeb's appointment is a violation of New Mexico's constitution which prohibits the...

The View host Joy Behar has been mocked for suggesting that Alec Baldwin was charged with manslaughter because he's a famous liberal - and wrongly claiming the DA is a Republican. Behar said Mary Carmack-Altwies is a 'big Republican' and suggested the prosecutor was politically motivated because Baldwin 'is a target for Republicans. They cannot stand him.' But Carmack-Altwies is, in fact, a Democrat who assumed office in 2021. The DA, who lives in Sante Fe with her wife and two children, stated Thursday she was charging Baldwin because 'he didn't check [the loaded gun], he didn't do what he...
