Rising above the 7th Arrondissement of Paris is the gold dome of Les Invalides, a landmark that serves as both a French military museum and the final resting place of the nation’s greatest general, Napoleon Bonaparte. The engravings surrounding his sarcophagus depict him as one of the ancients, adorned with laurels and togas next to tablets listing his vast accomplishments. Napoleon’s legacy as both a military mastermind and a statesman is hard to summarize — and complicated to assess. Similarly, there’s just too much to the man to capture in a single film. Still, the tagline of celebrated director Ridley...

God was good to Megyn Kelly during Wednesday night’s GOP debate.The podcaster and former Fox News host said she had “prayed to God and all of the angels above” for the opportunity to ask former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie about his shocking stance on medical interventions for children who are gender confused.

Steve Bannon was fuming on his podcast today after the George Santos expulsion. He blames Fox News, Kevin McCarthy, and their GOP establishment allies of intentionally trying to sabotage Speaker Johnson and the MAGA wing of the party by giving away their slim majority to stop their right-wing agenda. "This is McCarthy screwing MAGA to jam up Mike Johnson. This is 100% McCarthy and his acolytes trying to make our job even tougher and take away our majority. This is Fox News, everything. This is the apparatus saying, 'we are going to shut down the ability to make massive cuts...

A pro-Trump song about how he won in 2020 and the election was rigged.

The show “60 Minutes” should be ashamed of themselves. They just interviewed Crooked Joe Biden, and led him along like a lost child. Each question contained the answer, and was so weakly and apologetically asked that it was a JOKE which should be considered a campaign contribution to the Democrat Party. Why should CBS get free public airwaves for this highly partisan “show,” which never apologized to me for the mistakes they made on the “Laptop from Hell?” They are protecting Biden even though he is the most corrupt and incompetent President in the history of the United States. The...

Shelby Steele was born in 1946 in Chicago to his white mother and black father. Growing up, he said, he faced many experiences of racism. “When I was a kid they would tell me get used to it, learn to use a wheelbarrow,” said Steele. In the 1960s Steele and his wife applied for an apartment and were turned down. Steele and his wife turned around and sued the landlord. Through their decision to fight, they won in court. “I knew I’d be fighting in this life and I knew it would not be for money or for certain other...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed legislation making the state the first in the country to create an alert system for missing Black women and children. The move has sparked outrage online, with critics calling the new “Ebony Alert” system “racist”. The law was passed unanimously by both chambers of California’s legislature, the Washington Examiner reports. The goal of the bill is to address the “often ignored or lack of attention given to Black children and young Black women that are missing in California,” according to a statement. The law is set to go into effect on Jan. 1. Per...

The current education system is changing and many are of the opinion that it's not for the better. Parents are reconsidering their decision to send their children to school and are opting for homeschooling as a more convenient and quality alternative. A former teacher, who goes by @mindfull.mentor on TikTok, smartly shared a series of videos explaining what children would be missing out on if they were homeschooled. Contrary to the train of thought, the videos call out the exhausting practices and systems schools follow, indicating why homeschooling is the better pick. The former teacher said, “If you decide to...

President Joe Biden’s administration announced on Tuesday there were no plans to claw back and re-freeze $6 billion in Iranian assets after Tehran-backed Hamas launched the deadliest attack against the country of Israel in decades. In an interview with Fox News, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said there are no plans to re-freeze those assets, which were released about a month ago. “The $6 billion, that the Qataris are holding that was unfrozen in order to get three hostages back.” Fox News’ Martha MacCallum said, asking: “Is that money now going to be refrozen?” “I don’t...

Claims that a California school told students that white people had "no culture" have sparked controversy, with a parent expressing outrage about the alleged incident. The mother of one of the students reported the claims to the San Ramon Valley Unified School District last week, saying that her daughter was taught about white privilege during a choir class and was told by an "equity teacher" that white people have no culture. She added: "During this, the teacher's discussion with the class, she stated that white people had no culture and any culture that they did have was stolen. She gave...

George Washington, the Father of our Country, may soon get evicted from the Big Apple. The New York City Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing that could lead to the removal of statues and monuments honoring our nation’s first president, Christopher Columbus and Peter Stuyvesant. Stuyvesant was an early settler of New York City and has a park and prominent high school named in his honor. He was also a slaveholder – and he was white. There are multiple statues and monuments to Washington, including Washington Square Park and the George Washington Bridge. It’s unclear whether...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RNS) — The crowds seen buzzing last week outside the Bridgestone Arena, a regular host to the NCAA basketball tournament and a hometown venue for country music acts, were coming not to take in a game or a concert, but to sing, write and bond over Christian hymns. The annual Sing! Global conference, held Sept. 4-6, drew some 8,500 Christian worship music leaders and other church musicians, pastors, vendors and hymn composers from as many as 35 countries. (An estimated 80,000 others in 120 countries participate online.) They attend breakout sessions on congregational singing, songwriting and children’s and...

Our first impressions of the Panasonic Lumix G9 II. This hybrid mirrorless camera has new photography and video creation features in a lightweight and rugged system.

In this video I discuss the new grading standards being pushed in Portland Public Schools which would essentially destroy education completely.

Outside the California State Capitol last month, a fitness trainer turned school board president fired up the crowd at a parental rights rally, telling them they were all fighters in “a spiritual battle” for their kids and must answer the call from God. Sonja Shaw, who was elected to the Chino Valley Unified School District board of education last November with an assist from a local megachurch and its Christian nationalist pastor, didn’t equivocate in naming the enemy: state Democratic officials who are challenging her right-leaning policies—and drafting laws that hinder book bans and protect teachers from harassment. Other right-leaning...

Antoinette Sandbach is not an obvious target for progressive opprobrium. She may have been elected as a Conservative MP, but she sacrificed her career for the Europhile cause – defecting to the Lib Dems and losing her safe Tory seat. Ms Sandbach has been named by a Cambridge researcher as a descendant of 19th-century slave owner Samuel Sandbach, involved in the slave trade in Guyana. Others, too, suffer from what might be called colonial guilt. The BBC journalist Laura Trevelyan was so affected by learning that her Trevelyan ancestors owned more than 1,000 slaves on the Caribbean island of Grenada...
