Two recent news stories out of Dying Europe caught my attention. One involves the racial indoctrination of toddlers; the other involves punishing elderly citizens for their role in causing “climate change.” Together, they show how leftist-globalism behaves as a parasite from cradle to grave. First, in Wales, the leftist-globalist Labour government is using taxpayer money to train childcare workers how to identify and report “racist incidents.” The initiative teaches adults in charge of nurseries, play groups, and early education centers what constitutes “white privilege” and when young children should be reported to government authorities for exhibiting “racist” behaviors amounting to...

When I saw the image, I stopped scrolling. A mosque with an American flag in front of it. The words across the bottom: Ramadan has officially been recognized in Washington. And then the comments: Alhamdulillah. Historic moment. Muslim Americans are valued, respected, and part of the fabric of this nation. I read it twice. And I felt something I wasn’t expecting—not joy, not gratitude. Something heavier. Something that has been building for a long time. I understand the impulse to find something to hold onto when you have been made to feel invisible for so long. I understand what it...

According to a new analysis of data published in The Daily Guardian on April 5, 2017, by the Washington-based Pew Research Centre, the number of babies born to Muslims is expected to overtake those born to Christians within two decades, making Islam the world's largest religion by 2075. The Analysis pointed to modest but significant demographic shifts in religious affiliation over the coming decades, as populations in the global south continue to grow rapidly and Christian populations in Europe age and die. Between 2010 and 2015, an estimated 31% of babies in the world were to Muslim parents, far exceeding...

NYC’s traffic cameras are now writing fiction. The famous “Knight Rider” car KITT has been hit with a speeding ticket in Brooklyn — despite sitting on display inside an Illinois automotive museum for years. The Volo Museum, based north of Chicago, said it received a $50 ticket from the New York City Department of Finance tied to its replica of the famous TV car from the 1980s series starring David Hasselhoff. “Well, this is a new one … we got this in the mail today. This is 100% legit,” the museum wrote in a Facebook post on May 7. According...

'm all about respect and sportsmanship, but I also love a healthy dose of gamesmanship, and that seems to be what we're getting from the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas is still in the playoffs and currently tied with the Anaheim Ducks 2-2. However, they were the talk of hockey at the end of the regular season when they fired then-head coach Bruce Cassidy with just eight games left in the season and the team on track to make the playoffs. It was a shocker — especially after Cassidy led the team to a Stanley Cup in 2023 — and the...

Peru has decided to tap its fuel reserves to protect domestic supply and contain the impact of what is already being described as the country’s worst energy crisis in the last 20 years, following a gas pipeline rupture that severely disrupted the national energy system. The measure was announced by Prime Minister Denisse Miralles, as authorities moved to respond to the emergency triggered by the shutdown of a section of pipeline operated by Transportadora de Gas del Perú (TGP) in the Megantoni district. The incident led to restrictions in gas deliveries to industrial users and the power sector, while the...

Ted Turner built a media empire in Atlanta that included Turner Classic Movies. Turner’s favorite classic movie was “Gone with the Wind.” He loved the movie so much that he bought the entire catalogue of movies from MGM Studios and pre-1948 Warner Brothers so he could air them and preserve them. “My favorite ex-husband created Turner Classic Movies,” ex-wife and close friend Jane Fonda said last week at the 2026 TCM Film Festival in Los Angeles. Fonda talked about Turner’s love of classic movies and how he wanted to preserve them for future generations. “On our very first date, he...

Actress Sydney Sweeney’s Euphoria character, Cassie Howard, implied her political stance during Sunday’s episode of the popular HBO drama, replying, “I’m not retarded” after being told she sounds “like a Democrat.” “You sound like a Democrat,” an off-camera podcast host can be heard telling Cassie, to which Sweeney’s Euphoria character replies with laughter, before responding, “I’m not retarded.” The line came as Euphoria fans saw Cassie go from stay-at-home wife to OnlyFans star in episode 5 of the show’s third — and most likely final — season, which resulted in Sweeney’s character gaining 50,000 subscribers and subsequently landing several podcast...

You can’t make this stuff up folks… The World Health Organization (WHO) is now actively advising everyone to NOT take Ivermectin to treat the Hantavirus — because it totally doesn’t work, just like we told you to not take it for COVID or Cancer, so definitely don’t take it ok? Got that? Luckily Forbes even fact-checked it for you and told you it’s true and you should definitely not take Ivermectin for Hantavirus: https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/05/07/no-ivermectin-is-not-proven-to-treat-hantavirus/ Other medical professionals also quickly rejected Bowden’s claims: Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, an internal medicine professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said there is...

It was the song that began Hank’s chart-topping country sequence.The Hank Williams biopic I Saw The Light, starring Tom Hiddlestone, addressed the period between 1944 (when Williams was 21 and newly married) to his death from alcohol and drug abuse on New Year’s Day, 1953. That period encompassed all of the ups and downs of Hank’s public life, but the date we focus on here is definitely one of his career landmarks. On May 7, 1949, he scored the first of what would be 11 No. 1s on the Billboard country chart, with “Lovesick Blues.” Williams had four previous chart...

It’s hard to even imagine now, but immediately after it launched in 2004, there was nothing on the internet cooler than Facebook. It was initially available only to Harvard students, then gradually expanded to students at other elite colleges, giving it an aura of exclusivity that founder Mark Zuckerberg clearly coveted. By the time it opened up to public accounts in 2006, the hype was palpable, paving the way to an explosive initial public offering in 2012. Since those salad days, its trajectory has never been quite the same. Sure, it’s maintained market share with a series of cynical acquisitions...

West Virginia has for years led the nation in several unfavorable categories, having recorded both the highest rate of per-capita drug overdose deaths and the highest number of babies born with drugs in their system of any state.

It was welcome news for the state that has long been considered ground zero for the American opioid abuse and overdose epidemic... Experts who spoke with National Review attributed...

One day after Lane Kiffin opened up on why the location of Ole Miss hurt him in recruiting at his old school and how “diversity” has helped him at LSU, the college football coach apologized. Kiffin, in a lengthy interview with Vanity Fair, revealed that unspecified recruits told him while he was leading Ole Miss that certain players would have issues coming to the school. “[They would say], ‘Hey, Coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi,'” Kiffin told Vanity Fair. “That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Parents were...
