Former First Lady Michelle Obama has advice for young women starting their careers: Don’t try to dismantle a broken system until you have clout that commands authority. Sadly, that means waiting until you’re older and established in your career to make those changes. Her new book chronicles the evolution of her personal style as First Lady and after leaving the White House. Specifically, the book delves into how fashion played a key role in establishing Obama’s credibility—a rubric all professional women are judged by, sadly. In her talk with Cooper, Obama reflected on how fashion choices are more consequential for...

In a case stemming from a protest over a decade ago, the Supreme Court delivered a decision this week about qualified immunity. The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in Zorn v. Linton that a Vermont state police sergeant is entitled to qualified immunity in a case brought by a protester following a dispute at the Vermont Capitol in 2015. In an unsigned per curiam opinion, the majority reversed the decision of a lower court, which had sided against the police officer's use of force in the case: "The Second Circuit held that Zorn was not entitled to qualified immunity. "We...

Almost a year ago, we learned that more than half of Leftist women between the ages of 18 and 29 have at least one diagnosed mental illness. It shows. There's a reason we refer to them as AWFULs — Affluent White Female Urban Leftists — after all. Now a significant number of those women between the ages of 15 and 44 want to leave the U.S. and move permanently overseas, according to Gallup.

Mar 20, 2026, TX Democrat Julie Johnson just compared the two who died in Minneapolis by ICE (Renee Good and Alex Pretti) to the Islamic Republic of Iran executing protesters. She called these: "executions." On BBC, w/ Caitríona Perry. Aired on PBS

A woman was arrested after deputies said she used a board with nails to damage a man’s Tesla Cybertruck on Sunday in Caldwell County. Records show 67-year-old Karen Lewis was charged with misdemeanor damage to property. She was jailed on a $1,000 secured bond. Deputies said the investigation began after the owner reported damage to his car on Sunday, March 15, in Collettsville. No specific street or location was provided. Investigators said the Cybertruck’s onboard cameras captured video of Lewis allegedly using a board with nails to scratch the vehicle, and she was quickly identified as the suspect.

As if dating in this tech-obsessed era wasn’t difficult enough, women on social media have decided that those who favor meat as a pizza topping are walking red flags. As surface level as that sounds, women like Esme Hewitt (@esmehewitt) have a strong case for this way of thinking, stressing that their views on pizza toppings are more about a person’s empathy toward the environment and the state of our climate. In a TikTok video with almost 500,000 views, the content creator elaborated, saying, “I personally think that if you can’t reduce your meat intake, then you are selfish. What...

[snip] Jordan accused members of the administration of treating the war like a “video game” and implied they were using the conflict to compensate for personal insecurities: “And far too many members of this administration have been treating it like it's a video game and some way to, you know, exercise their repressed masculinity that they have issues with, I guess. But all of the faux bravado, it just, it really does make me want to puke in my stomach.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Liberal women have gathered in an NYC park to collectively “SCREAM IN RAGE” during an International Women’s Day protest If they think this is going to further “women’s rights” or whatever, these people have some real brain damage Unhinged

If you were to ask legacy media or many prominent Democrats, they’d tell you that young men are getting radicalized. Yes, many young men are isolated and pessimistic about their futures. Some are falling down content rabbit holes that normalize misogyny and antisemitism. But while men are listening to provocateurs such as Nick Fuentes to cope with their low societal cachet, young women are getting radicalized too. There’s evidence that men have actually stayed relatively stable, while women have lurched left with the widespread adoption of social media and the collapse of marriage. Most concerningly, a new study shows that...

How Trump Derangement turned feminist icons into mullah defenders. For decades, the American Left’s loudest voices on women’s issues styled themselves as fearless guardians of peace and equality. They chained themselves to fences at nuclear bases, waved “No Nukes” signs during the Reagan years, and lectured the rest of us about the patriarchy while demanding the Equal Rights Amendment and unfettered abortion. Jane Fonda, the original celebrity activist, was at the forefront—Vietnam-era traitor turned fitness-video feminist turned Trump-hating scold. These women claimed moral high ground on nuclear proliferation and women’s rights. Then Donald Trump happened. The moment Trump descended the...

As well documented by now, affluent white female urban liberals exhibit AWFUL behavior. So awful that the legacy media is desperately defending them, lest they lose control of their woke narrative. Clearly, the accurate acronym strikes a sensitive nerve. With apologies to Shakespeare aficionados, "the [MSM] doth protest too much, methinks." Unfortunately, their awful Dem deportment is poised to become downright atrocious. Most of today’s billionaire “policy mistakes” are self-made. Many are brilliant, visionary businessmen and entrepreneurs who have created more societal wealth (new industries, products, markets, jobs, tax revenues…) than they have consumed. That is about to change: in...

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics. We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge. The discussion moves beyond economics into...

Core Thesis of this video: Wokeness is a Product of Institutional Feminization Wokeness isn't primarily an ideology (e.g., Marxism or post-modernism) that can be defeated with better arguments. Instead, it's the application of traditionally feminine patterns of behavior and group dynamics to institutions that recently became majority-female (or close to it). Women tend to prioritize consensus, relationships, empathy, making everyone happy, and avoiding conflict/hurt feelings over strict facts, rules, justice, or open confrontation. This leads to conformity-focused environments intolerant of dissent, prickly eccentrics, or debate—hallmarks of "woke" dynamics like cancellations, offense-taking, and reputation destruction rather than rational argument. Timing and...

An Idaho woman was arrested Monday after investigators said she stole an ambulance and drove it into a building housing Department of Homeland Security offices in an alleged attempt to set it on fire. Sarah Elizabeth George, 43, of Boise, is accused of stealing a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance from outside St. Luke’s Meridian around 11 p.m. on Feb. 18, crashing it through the entrance of the Portico North building and pouring gasoline across the lobby floor before fleeing on foot, according to a federal criminal complaint. Authorities identified George after what Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea described as five...

The Land of Make Believe will eventually come to an end, and sobriety and rationality will be restored. Let’s pray the correction doesn’t come in the form of a hot war or a natural disaster.In a recent viral video, an angry mob (composed almost entirely of white women) hurled expletives at the staff of a Minneapolis CorePower yoga studio, berating them because they reportedly removed anti-ICE signage. While their verbal onslaught apparently worked in this case, these females revealed just how many women live in a Land of Make Believe where everyone magically bends to their will. This tiny glimpse...

About a dozen women holding their yoga mats berated staffers for being "silent." "Give us answers, let’s go … let’s hear it, why are you being silent?" one lunatic said. "Let’s hear it, Delaney, loud and proud, baby. You want to say it, let’s f**king say it." "We can f**king get a yoga studio someplace else." According to the New York Post, the incident unfolded after customers heard through "studio gossip" that the corporate team took down an anti-ICE sign. CorePower has since responded to the incident, calling the meltdown from the women "aggressive and profane" before saying they don't...

Immigrant groups have a message for their mostly White allies: Quit blowing the whistle on ICE. Fox News Digital has reviewed days of messages inside Signal chat rooms that reveal that a new internal feud has erupted inside the anti-ICE protest industry, pitting immigrant-led organizations against predominately White "rapid response" networks that have made whistle-blowing a dramatic part of anti-ICE protests. In one dismissal, a "rapid responder" in Seattle reported back that "immigrant networks are being weird." Groups from Seattle to Montgomery County, Md., are telling mostly White "rapid responders" to back off a dynamic described by activists as "White...

This ICE agent didn’t care that he was being hounded by an unhinged mob of woke white progressives. If anything, it shows that the true racists, once again, are the ones who vote Democrat. This incident occurred in Minneapolis, where deportation raids are ongoing. It’s been bedlam since two leftists, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were shot and killed by federal immigration officers for interfering in police actions; Good rammed an ICE agent with her car. Since then, there’s been nonstop harassment of ICE agents and bystanders who are mistaken for federal immigration officers, as well as roadblocks, reportedly with...

When we talk about political violence, we almost always assume that its perpetrators are young men. That makes sense: men are statistically more likely to engage in physical aggression and get arrested for violent crimes at higher rates. At the same time, many are dealing with rising unemployment, declining educational achievement, and growing social disengagement. Given all that, researchers may reasonably assume that young men are driving greater tolerance for political violence. New data complicate that assumption. A recent survey by the Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers found that under certain conditions, women were more likely than men to...

Philadelphia’s top prosecutor, a George Soros-backed district attorney, is facing scrutiny and backlash after vowing to "hunt" down federal immigration agents as city leaders move to curb ICE operations. Speaking during a morning event outside City Hall tied to newly unveiled "ICE OUT" legislation, District Attorney Larry Krasner sharply criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. "This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are," Krasner said. "In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will...
