    Former first lady Michelle Obama argued that getting accepted into college for being a star athlete is no different than being accepted due to affirmative action policies. During Wednesday’s episode of Mrs. Obama’s “IMO” podcast, comedian Josh Johnson spoke about his own experience as a young Black comedian and writer and sometimes being the only Black person in the room. “It is funny because, like, you know, people talk about, like, DEI and some of these initiatives and everything. And the thing that’s always funny to me about the outrage is that y’all already have the number,” Johnson said. He...
  • Prince Andrew Joins UK Muslim Rape Gang So He Can Keep Abusing Young Girls

    02/20/2026 9:01:00 AM PST · by RoosterRedux · 13 replies
    LONDON — In a stunning twist that experts said could prevent him from facing prosecution for ties to deceased billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, the former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor joined a UK Muslim rape gang so he could keep abusing young girls. The disgraced former royal made the announcement on Thursday following his arrest on charges of misconduct, telling authorities that he had converted to Islam and joined one of the famous rape gangs in town, which effectively made him immune from facing any consequences. "We all know I won't be held accountable now," Mountbatten-Windsor told reporters after being released from custody...

    American soldiers fighting in Vietnam armed with WWII German MP40s? Sounds ridiculous, but it's absolutely true. One special forces unit used a few old MP40s on operations obtained via the CIA - the famous MACV-SOG. Well, as those of you who have followed this channel for many years will know that I have made a video about this very subject though in the case of German World War II weapons from the perspective of their use by North Vietnam and the VietCong rather than by the Americans. Then I came upon this photograph taken in the mid 1960s in Vietnam,...

    President Donald Trump raged over some disappointing economic news shortly before his Commerce Department delivered it to the public on Friday morning. “The Democrat Shutdown cost the U.S.A. at least two points in GDP. That’s why they are doing it, in mini form, again. No Shutdowns!” declared the president in a 7:50 a.m. Truth Social post. “Also, LOWER INTEREST RATES. ‘Two Late’ Powell is the WORST!!!,” he added. Less than an hour later, his administration announced that the United States’ GDP grew at an annualized rate of 1.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The 43-day government shutdown last fall...

    NASA today released its final investigation report on the causes behind the Starliner thruster issues during that capsule’s only manned mission in ISS, issues that almost prevented the spacecraft from docking successfully and could have left it manned and out-of-control while still in orbit. Starliner docked to ISS in 2024.You can read the report here [pdf]. NASA administrator Jared Isaacman made it clear in his own statement that the Starliner incident was far more serious than originally let on. “To undertake missions that change the world, we must be transparent about both our successes and our shortcomings. We have to...

    PANAMA CITY - Luis, a 26-year-old Panamanian man, has tried to donate blood four times in his life. The first time he was rejected. The other three times, he was allowed to do it only because he hid the fact that he has a boyfriend. "I felt dirty, as if I was sick," Luis said of his first attempt to give blood to an ailing family member. He used a pseudonym because he feared the legal implications of breaching Panama's rules banning gay and bisexual men from donating blood. Many countries, including Panama, introduced blood donation controls in the 1980s...

    Two high-profile shootings carried out by transgender individuals in the span of less than a week have sparked fears about a perceived uptick in violence from the community. On February 10th, an 18-year-old transgender shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, gunned down his mother and stepbrother before killing six others at a school in British Columbia, Canada. Then on Monday, Robert Dorgan, who also identified as Roberta Esposito, opened fire at a Pawtucket, Rhode Island, ice rink where his son was playing hockey, killing two family members and then himself. Before his attack, Dorgan wrote online, “I’m a gun fanatic transwoman; i...

    An Austrian climber has been found guilty of gross negligent manslaughter after his girlfriend froze to death on Austria's highest mountain last year. The man, named only as Thomas P in line with Austrian privacy laws, has been given a five-month suspended sentence and fined €9,600 (£8,400). His girlfriend, Kerstin G, died of hypothermia during a climbing trip on the Grossglockner mountain in January 2025. In a statement sent to the BBC, the court said it considered Thomas P's previous clean record and the loss of a person close to him "to be mitigating factors". ... The court also heard...
  • Europe's Warning, America’s Slippery Slope Toward Islamic No-Go Zones - Denial and Decline, How Euphemisms Hide Europe’s Sharia Enclaves

    AMUSE on X ^ | 19 Feb, 2026 | Alexander Muse
    There is a familiar rhythm in public debate. First comes the report. Then comes the denial. Finally comes the euphemism. The controversy over Islamic no-go zones in the West follows precisely this pattern. The phrase itself is contested. The underlying phenomenon is not. We should begin with clarity. What is meant by a no-go zone? The core idea is simple. A no-go zone is an area within a city where ordinary civic norms do not fully apply, where state authority is attenuated, and where non-members of the dominant local community are discouraged, intimidated, or effectively excluded. In the specific...

    Enjoy hunting, fishing, and eating meat while you can. None of these things is to be permitted as progressives progress toward utopia. Moonbattery-addled Oregon shows the way. KPTV reports: Animal rights advocates are close to having enough signatures to qualify a ballot measure in Oregon that would dramatically change how animals are treated under state law, including banning most hunting, fishing, livestock farming and animal research. The proposed measure Initiative Petition 28, would remove many long-standing exemptions in Oregon’s animal cruelty laws. Under the initiative, most activities that hurt or kill animals would become criminal offenses. No doubt many who...

    Democrats will stop at nothing to defile this great nation. Via PJ Media: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to make the LGBTQ pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol, giving it the same federal protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, and POW/MIA flags. The “pride” flag literally represents sexual perversion. That’s how sick the Democratic Party has become. Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country. This brownish-green loogy hawked up and spat on Old Glory and the vets who...

    At a remote and barren Sahara desert site in Niger, scientists have unearthed fossils of a new species of Spinosaurus, among the biggest of the meat-eating dinosaurs, notable for its large blade-shaped head crest and jaws bearing interlocking teeth for snaring slippery fish. It prowled a forested inland environment and strode into rivers to catch sizable fish like a modern-day wading bird — a “hell heron,” as one of the researchers put it, considering it was about 40 feet long and weighed 5-7 tons. The dinosaur presented a striking profile on the Cretaceous Period landscape of Africa some 95 million...

    This morning, EPA released the official Federal Register version of its Rescission of the Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding as to motor vehicles. The Federal Register cite is 91 F.R. 7686. This official version of the Rescission, in printed, single-spaced and triple column format, is only 111 pages, versus the 436 pages the previous preliminary version; however, the text appears to be substantially unchanged. It only took literal minutes for the first lawsuit challenging the Rescission to get filed. Here, via the website of the Union of Concerned Scientists, is a copy of a Petition that they say was filed today...

    An anti-ICE agitator stole an ambulance, packed it with gas cans and rammed the emergency vehicle into a DHS office in Meridian, Idaho. Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said the suspect stole the ambulance from St. Luke’s Hospital and poured accelerant inside of the vehicle. “We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act,” Police Chief Basterrechea said. “The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,” he said. The police chief said “there has been a lot of...

    “Crisis is when brittleness meets shock. “— Yuri Bezmenov’s Ghost on X. By shutting down the government for a minimum of ten days supposedly over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Wile E. Coyote Democratic Party is about to blow up another Acme bomb in its mangy muzzle. I will tell you why. First, this DHS business is just a stupid prank to bamboozle the public. It will not shut down ICE operations, as Chuck Schumer pretends. ICE was already funded with $75-billion in last year’s Big Beautiful Bill. The shutdown will only defund the Coast Guard...

    New York City’s new Democratic Socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani is having trouble finding the means to fund his radical left-wing agenda so he is now going to an old favorite for Democrats – defunding the police. Apparently, Democrats have still not learned their painful lesson in this exercise in stupidity. To make matters worse, it has now been reported that Mamdani needs so much money because he is creating all kinds of new diversity positions in his cabinet, another lesson the left has not yet learned. Mamdani’s predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams, proposed at the end of his term that...
