A viral Instagram video shows a pro-Trump supporter using racial slurs to harass a woman during a dispute over a parking spot.

Wearing a MAGA cap, the man continued to threaten her, turning the encounter into a frightening ordeal. With the video going viral, many people have commented, deeply condemning the situation and, in turn, raising a broader question about what the accepted norms actually are in Trump’s second presidential run. The video starts with Madinah Muhammad, a graduate...

A San Francisco judge is deciding whether to prosecute Troy McAlister, a serial felon who was high on meth when he allegedly struck and killed two women while driving a stolen car. That incident happened in 2020. But 40 hearings, motions, and conferences later, McAlister has yet to stand trial, according to The Voice of San Francisco. In the latest delay, an Oct. 3 hearing originally intended to set a jury trial was instead used as another hearing on McAlister’s behalf: His public defender requested that, rather than face prosecution, McAlister be placed in a drug diversion program, the U.K.’s...

It is a celebration of the human spirit, which conquers the unknown in courageous exploration.Over the past two decades or so, we have witnessed a concerted effort by the woke educational and cultural establishment to reject traditional holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the 4thof July, and rewrite American history as a simplistic horror story of evil imperialist oppression. One of the worst-affected historical episodes in this regard is the European discovery of the New World.Until recently, young children in America were taught to revere Christopher Columbus’s persistence and courage, which ultimately brought Western civilization to the Western hemisphere and...

Conservatives have long championed the principle of "peace through strength," a doctrine rooted in the belief that a strong, resolute nation deters aggression and fosters stability. This approach, exemplified by leaders like Ronald Reagan and Menachem Begin, prioritizes military readiness, clear moral conviction, and unwavering support for allies to secure peace without capitulation. Unlike policies that rely on appeasement or concessions, conservatives understand that weakness invites conflict, while strength commands respect. Ronald Reagan: Defeating the Soviet Threat. Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, embodied "peace through strength" in his confrontation with the Soviet Union. In the 1980s,...

Former Israeli spy Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas co-founder, tells “CUOMO” he’s not optimistic there will be a lasting peace between Israel and Palestinians because some members of the latter group hold fundamental beliefs that won’t accept a truce. “It’s better to wake up now and face reality before it comes and slaps us right on the face,” Yousef, known as the “Green Prince,” says.

The New York Times desperately tried several times to downplay the left-wing political unrest and violence in Portland, Oregon generated by the domestic terrorists of Antifa, passing the blame to "right-wing influencers" instead. First it was the paper’s benighted columnist Nicholas Kristof, perennially optimistic about the relative harmlessness of the regime of Saddam Hussein and public support for radical Islam, embarrassing himself on X with a sarcastic video post from “the perilous front lines” of Portland – a post taken on a leafy sidewalk in broad daylight, a two-mile walk from the protest action currently around the U.S. Immigration and...

VIDEOIt's the one issue that sharply divides Portuguese society. Much more divisive than political, religious, or class differences. In fact, you could say that his issue divides Portugal into two mutually exclusive and irreconcilable groups.

WORLD — Leftists across the globe took to the streets over the weekend to protest the ceasefire in Gaza and the end of genocide. Activists from New York to London called for "another October seventh", demanding military intervention to spark a renewed conflict to keep the ethnic cleansing going. "What do we want? Genocide! When do we want it? Now!" cried the protesters. "We must stop this ceasefire at all costs. If Israel refuses to keep up the genocide after we give the hostages back, we will have to take more hostages. Whatever it takes to get the evil genocide...

"NOT LIKE DACHAU, IS IT, HERR MUFTI?" The New York Times. May 16, 1948, Section E, Page 4.NYTRebecca Mistereggen @RMistereggen: This political cartoon, published in The New York Times one day after the establishment of the State of Israel, captures a pivotal moral reversal in world history. On one side stands “Palestine”, symbolizing the reborn Jewish nation, sword in hand. Opposite him is The Grand Mufti, depicted in a Nazi uniform, an unmistakable reference to Haj Amin al-Husseini, the wartime Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who collaborated closely with Hitler’s regime, supported the extermination of Jews and later led Arab resistance...

Less than a year before John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln, Booth’s brother, Edwin Booth, saved Lincoln’s oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, from being injured and possibly killed by a train. Edwin Booth was regarded as one of the great Shakespearean actors of the 19th century. He was the manager of the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City, where many Shakespearean productions were made in 1862. Edwin was a supporter of Lincoln and a Unionist, and he was not close with his brother, who supported secession. In 1863 or 1864, the exact date is uncertain, Edwin Booth and Robert...

This week, a Virginia Grand Jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud. Evidence included her signature on a mortgage loan document that asserted the property to be financed was to be her primary residence. The Jury found that the fact that James lives and works in New York and that the Virginia house could not possibly have been her primary residence sufficient for her to be put on trial for fraud. James denounced the indictment calling it "unfair political retribution directed at me by Trump. True, I did prosecute and convict Trump for mortgage fraud, but...
