LEXINGTON, MA — A Pride-parade picture book showing bondage gear and drag nuns is set to appear in Lexington’s 2025–2026 kindergarten social studies curriculum, sparking fury among parents who say the district has crossed the line between inclusion and age-appropriate teaching. The revelation was first reported by Massachusetts Informed Parents, a watchdog group that obtained lesson materials from Lexington Public Schools (LPS). According to their review, the Pride-themed book This Day in June is listed as part of a new “Social Studies” unit for five-year-olds — a class typically reserved for topics like community, geography, and basic civics. But the...

In a striking example of how PBS NewsHour—often criticized for their anti-Israel slant under anchors like its head Amna Nawaz—continue to whitewash Hamas sympathizers as mere "humanitarians," the recent death of Saleh Aljafarawi serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of unchecked propaganda. Aljafarawi, a 28-year-old Gaza-based social media influencer and self-proclaimed journalist, was gunned down on October 12, 2025, in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood amid brutal clan wars that claimed at least 27 lives. Far from being an impartial observer, Aljafarawi was a vocal Hamas affiliate whose elimination by anti-Hamas forces underscores the internal fractures within Gaza's terrorist...

A Dallas-based auto lender once praised by the U.S. Treasury for “community development” has filed for bankruptcy amid allegations of fraud and financial misconduct, leaving major U.S. banks facing heavy losses. Tricolor Holdings, which specialized in selling used cars and providing loans to illegal immigrants, built its business model on customers who could not qualify for traditional financing, according to Revolver News, which first reported the company’s collapse. The company charged high interest rates and above-market vehicle prices, marketing the program as “social lending.” Subsequent reporting by Barron’s and state regulators confirmed that Tricolor had repeatedly been cited for delayed...

The 2020 census was marketed as an “actual enumeration,” a neutral count of people for apportionment and funding. It was not. The same official who helped block a basic citizenship question in 2018, John M. Abowd, then the Census Bureau’s Chief Scientist, pushed through a new, opaque methodology in 2020 called differential privacy. The new system deliberately injected mathematical noise into every block count in America, turning the census from a headcount into a model with knobs. The knob that mattered most was a single parameter, epsilon, a secrecy shroud known only to a small inner circle. Abowd argued that...

President Trump delivers remarks during a historic peace agreement signing ceremony in Egypt. WATCH:

A loving Arkansas father who killed a man he discovered in a car with his 14-year-old daughter last year is taking an incredibly bold step to right the justice system. As 40/29 News reported, Lonoke County resident Aaron Spencer announced Friday night that he was running for sheriff. The announcement was made on his campaign’s Facebook page. Here is the announcement video below: VIDEO AT LINK............................. SPENCER: Hello Lonoke, my name is Aaron Spencer. Many of you know my story. I am the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed. I’m also a husband, a combat...

Former member of the Virginia House of Delegates and current Democrat nominee for State Attorney General (AG) Jay Jones is facing widespread criticism for a 2022 text exchange with Delegate Carrie Coyner (R) in which he wrote "if I had two bullets and faced a choice between shooting then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, Adolf Hitler, or Pol Pot, Gilbert gets two bullets to the head." Coyner called him back to express her dismay at his remarks, but was treated to Jones speculating that "if Gilbert's two little fascists were to die in their mother's arms perhaps that would be more effective....

For those of you wondering how CNN's brand has fallen so deep into the toilet, the strange attitudes divorced from reality of many who work at that network might offer one of the significant reasons.An example comes in the form of CNN's Science and Wellness writer, Madeline Holcombe, who wrote an overlong boring rant about her neurotic hangup with the 'male gaze' on Saturday, "After years of progress on gender, the male gaze is back."The "male gaze" is back? If you even knew it ever existed as a major problem in the first place, then YOU are probably the one...

In the concrete canyons of America’s cities, there’s an ancient tactic as old as warfare itself: the ambush. Draw your enemy into unfamiliar terrain, seal off their escape routes, and strike when they’re most vulnerable. It’s a strategy perfected by guerrilla fighters from the jungles of Vietnam to the mountains of Afghanistan. But last Tuesday night, this battlefield technique wasn’t deployed in some distant war zone—it was used against American police officers on the streets of Boston. The date was no coincidence. October 7th marked two years since Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israeli civilians, and pro-Palestinian demonstrators had gathered on...

It sounds like a conspiracy theory—but every detail outlined about Britain’s gang crisis is real. For decades, gangs of predominantly Muslim men in towns across the UK have groomed, trafficked, and assaulted thousands of young girls while authorities looked the other way. Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom Katie Lam joins “Problematic Women” to break down the shocking truth behind the UK grooming gang crisis, the systemic government cover-up, and why political leaders and law enforcement refused to act for fear of “inflaming community tensions.” Katie also shares her personal journey, from writing musicals and working in finance...

LOL. Senator Hashmi @SenatorHashmi · Follow On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, we celebrate & honor the Indigenous nations that have contributed so much to the history, cultures, & communities of the Commonwealth & country. We also recognize the ongoing need for reconciliation, healing, and partnership. Sen.

Using typical far-left rhetoric, Hashmi is celebrating "Indigenous People" on the holiday that marks Christopher Columbus' historical journey to...

Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews BREAKING - Tatiana Martinez, an illegal who built a social media career doxxing ICE agents and their families and was arrested in Los Angeles in August, has now been deported back to Colombia.

Vice President JD Vance appeared on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday, where he schooled the far-left host before Stephanopoulos abruptly ended the interview. Vance called him out for continuing to push hoaxes despite losing credibility with the American people, and ABC pulled the plug on the interview. “Here’s, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and why you’re losing credibility, because you’re talking for now five minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I’ve read about, but I don’t even know the video that...

Mike Davis just dropped a bomb on Fox News during his chat with Maria Bartiromo… and if what he’s saying turns out to be true, we’re not just talking about another political scandal, folks. We’re talking about the indictment of the century. Ironically, for years, the left and their media puppets told America that “Russian collusion” was the crime of the century. But the real crime, as Mike cleverly points out, wasn’t anything that Trump did… it’s what the Obama-Biden-Hillary crew unleashed on President Trump. The Crossfire Hurricane hit job wasn’t just the usual political dirty tricks. It was the...

US President Donald Trump is set to receive Egypt’s highest state honour, the Order of the Nile, during his visit to the country to attend a Gaza peace summit, the presidential office said on Monday. President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi will award the decoration in recognition of Trump’s "distinguished contributions to supporting peace efforts, defusing conflicts, and most recently, his pivotal role in ending the war in Gaza." The Order of the Nile is a gold collar made up of three square segments featuring pharaonic symbols. It has previously been awarded to Nelson Mandela, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and most...

A viral Instagram video shows a pro-Trump supporter using racial slurs to harass a woman during a dispute over a parking spot. The user Madinah recorded the entire incident on her phone while she remained her calm self, dealing with the white man. 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.
