(NewsNation) — The mother of a North Carolina high school student who was suspended for asking about the term “illegal alien” in class says the punishment could hinder his college prospects if it remains on his record. Leah McGhee said her 16-year-old son Christian, a 10th grader at Central Davidson High School, was just asking a question when he used the term, which the school allegedly equated “to a vicious racial slur.” “Christian is raised in a household that instills the beliefs in the following of Jesus Christ. For him, that hurts even more, because he knows in his heart,...

A new Donald Trump election ad has been completed banned by Google. I don't see why they would ban it other than it makes Biden look bad. But truthfully, he does that all on his own. Let me know why you think they would suppress and cancel this video?

A 'cursed' wooden steamship that vanished in Lake Superior in 1909 with 14 crew members on board has finally been discovered. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society say they found the Adella Shores after it went missing on May 1, 1909, in Whitefish Point, Michigan.

The 195-foot ship was built in Gibraltar, Michigan, and weighed in...

On March 20, 1971, a specially modified US Air Force B-52 bomber from the 4200th Support Squadron took off from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam carrying a unique aircraft mounted under its wing. The aircraft, shaped like a dart and painted black, was a D-21 supersonic reconnaissance drone. It was to be the fourth such drone to conduct aerial reconnaissance of China's Lop Nor nuclear test site in northwestern China, and despite its sophistication, it would crash into the very country it was intended to spy on. Created by the renowned Lockheed Corporation, the D-21 was the most advanced...

NPR has suspended Uri Berliner, the senior editor who published a bombshell essay a week ago that claimed that the publicly funded outlet has “lost America’s trust” by approaching news stories with a left-wing bias. NPR media writer David Folkenflik revealed on Tuesday that Berliner beginning on Friday was suspended for five days without pay. Folkenflik, who reviewed a copy of the letter from NPR brass, said that the company told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets — a requirement of NPR journalists. NPR called the letter a “final warning,”...

Rolling Thunder is a 1977 drama starring William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones who return home after being held captive as POWs in Vietnam. Unfortunately, their troubles are not over.

Amid concerns about American shipbuilding, the US Navy's top civilian official said this week that he was "floored" by a Pacific ally's capabilities in this space. The Navy secretary's comments came on the heels of an internal review that discovered that most of the Navy's top programs, including high-priority submarines, a first-in-class guided-missile frigate, and the third Ford-class aircraft carrier, are severely delayed by years, fueling worries from US officials about the ability to maintain our pace against great power rivals. During his keynote speech at the Navy League's Sea Air Space conference this week, Secretary of the Navy Carlos...

After over five decades of faithful service, the M16 series, an icon of American military might and a direct descendant of the AR-15 designed by Eugene Stoner will be succeeded by Sig Sauer's advanced XM7 rifle. The M16, first introduced in 1964, has been the most-produced 5.56x45mm weapon, marking a significant chapter in the annals of U.S. military history. The latest variant, the M16A4, known for its three-round burst feature, will soon yield to the cutting-edge design of the XM7, a testament to the relentless pursuit of small arms excellence.

What used to be her spot to catch some fresh air has become anything but for Bee Bletsian in the building she’s called home for 13 years. Just south of downtown Minneapolis, behind an old brick building on the corner of 5th Avenue South and East 24th street, on a city-owned lot, it’s easy to see why.

A few days ago, I listed an unused and unopened bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup for sale on eBay. I have a couple of these that I purchased in 2020 during the BLM riots and the assault on American culture. I had no idea what the level of interest would be for this. But I was mildly to start getting bids right away and the bidding price reached $38 at one point. I noticed a problem with eBay right away as they would allow to use the words or term "Aunt Jemima". So, I had to list it as "AJ...

New light is being brought to a 46-year-old cold case commonly referred to as the “Yuba County Five.” Inspired by a series of true crime podcasts, author Tony Wright has dedicated the last four years to research, interviews, and documentation, compiling his findings into his new book “Things Aren’t Right: The Disappearance of the Yuba County Five.” “I came across the Yuba County case for the first time around 2018,” said Wright. “The story was just coming back into the news for whatever reason because of true crime and other unsolved mystery podcasting.

President Biden is ranked as the 14th-best U.S. president, according to a new poll of historians. Former President Trump is ranked as the last. The New York Times' Peter Baker joins Morning Joe to discuss.

Maybe this was posted here already but this is absolutely hilarious. Video: Donald Trump has trolled Joe Biden with a spoof ad depicting the White House as a “senior living” establishment where “residents feel like presidents”. The mock TV commercial uploaded on Trump’s Instagram page clipped together awkward shots of the current president at the beach and eating food, ending with him taking a huge bite from an ice cream. The 30-second clip includes a soft-spoken narrator advertising “delightful activities and outings” and “exquisite housemade meals” over clips of Biden. The trolling video also includes a clip that circulated in...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yet again predicted the end of democracy if former President Donald Trump is elected president in 2024. Appearing on The View on Wednesday, Trump's 2016 White House opponent was asked by co-host Sunny Hostin about the possibility of the former president winning another term. "I can't even think that because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it and I don't say that lightly," Clinton responded. The former presidential candidate said she hated losing in 2016, "especially to him." "Everything that I worried about I saw unfolding and...
