  • The Feminine Wound: The Radicalization of Young Women Is about More than the Internet and Social Media

    Are women okay? The answer, clearly, is no. Women are not okay. The young ones, especially. This week, Britain’s New Statesman introduced us to “the Angry Young Women,” an expanding coven of radical, unstable, men-hating, activist women. This is maybe the first time a mainstream outlet in the UK has acknowledged the precipitous leftward drift of young women and the major effects it’s having on British society: on politics, culture, relations between the sexes—pretty much everything you can think of, really. Whether it’s Israel’s war in Gaza, the “Climate Crisis,” the Patriarchy, racism, or the prospect of a Reform government...

    Reading the news today got me to thinking about various things. Such as: *If European countries are too afraid of their rapidly growing Muslim populations to act in defense of their own interests—and that of the majority of their citizens-- as regards the world's greatest state sponsor of terror, Iran, they are already defeated. The only question is, have they willingly, treasonously, and knowingly surrendered, or are they tragically unaware of their own impending demise. My educated guess is the former. More’s the pity. *I want to say something very clearly, and with great specificity: If today’s Democrats were...
  • Dick Morris Confirms a Huge Rumor About Bill and Hillary Clinton

    Dick Morris has finally confirmed what many people have long suspected: Bill Clinton, while sitting in the Oval Office, seriously entertained the idea of divorcing Hillary — and he had his longtime political advisor run the polls to find out if he could survive it politically. Morris, who advised Clinton for years, as far back as his 1970s gubernatorial campaigns in Arkansas, appeared on Newsmax and dropped a bombshell that has somehow received far too little attention. When host Rob Finnerty asked Morris to confirm the rumor, the answer was blunt. "Yes, actually several times," Morris said. "It was a...
  • Dystopian Prelude In Brussels - Super-diversity, EU arrogance, and the cultural suicide of post-Christian Europe.

    From Wikimedia Commons: A market scene on the Grand Place in Brussels (unknown artist, ca. 1670)Modern Brussels narrates the tragedy of a continent in terminal decline. Once a monument to European civilization—listing such landmarks as the medieval Grand-Place, the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, the neoclassical Palais de Justice—it has been transmogrified into a laboratory of “super-diversity,” a doomsday phenomenon whose presiding ideology is this: abolition of the Christian nation-state. Hosting representatives of 184 nationalities, the city does not merely reflect globalization; it weaponizes it. Beneath the bureaucratic gloss of the EU’s institutions lies a parallel reality of...

  • Mamdani Picked The Worst Way To Implement Socialism In NYC

    American Thinker ^ | 18 Apr, 2026 | Lewis Dovland
    It either demonstrates a deep misunderstanding of facts or is a deliberate action to accelerate the decline of a once-great city. The Laws of Economics and statistics on the grocery industry clearly show that there is no way, except through subsidies that shift costs onto taxpayers, for Mamdani’s plan for city-run grocery stores to reduce food costs for the city’s residents. The grocery business is not some gold mine of hidden profits waiting to be tapped. It is one of the most competitive, tightly run industries in this country, with an extremely low profit margin. Companies such as Kroger, Walmart,...

    Leaders of the Air National Guard argued that the Air Force's readiness was woefully inadequate... "The United States Air Force is the oldest, the smallest, and the least ready in its 78-year history," the letter, which was obtained by Air and Space Forces Magazine, read. To rectify the historic deficiency, military leaders are requesting between 72 and 100 new fighter jets across the Air Force's active duty, reserve and guard corps. Specifically, the adjutants generals — the leader of the National Guard in their respective state — are requesting at least 48 new F-35s and 24 new F-15EXs. The letter...

    Ananlilia Mejia’s decisive win in the seat formerly held by New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill should send political shockwaves. Amidst the ongoing conflict in Iran, a major political event took place in the United States on April 16, 2026, that deserves more attention and scrutiny than the mainstream media will likely devote to it. The event to which I refer to is the victory of Analilia Mejia in the New Jersey special election for congressional district 11. Mejia’s decisive win in the seat formerly held by New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill should send political shockwaves because I think it is...
  • Airport lounge chaos goes viral as kids run wild and passengers ditch basic etiquetteWitnesses at one airport lounge watched a couple stuff 6 burgers into duffel bag

    Airport lounges were once the destination of a select few. But recently, the premium spaces are becoming increasingly crowded — and chaos is following in some cases. Stories are going viral about passengers raiding complimentary buffets in lounges, and children wreaking havoc while distracted parents are unfazed. At one airport lounge in a major New York City airport not long ago, witnesses watched in shock as a couple ordered six signature burgers and multiple orders of buns, the "View from the Wing" blog reported. Instead of eating the premium patties, the couple stuffed the burgers into a large duffel, adding...

  • '60 Minutes' accused of using left-leaning Cardinals to bait Trump into feud with Vatican Raymond Arroyo labeled the media strategy 'pope-a-doping,' saying it was designed to provoke a White House-Vatican clash

    Some conservative commentators accused CBS’s "60 Minutes" of airing a segment featuring three "left-wing" cardinals who criticized the Trump administration’s immigration and Iran policies. Father Gerald Murray and author Robert Royal joined Raymond Arroyo on "The Prayerful Posse" to discuss whether the situation was meant to spark a conflict between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV. "The three of them are billed as so-called influential, but none of them hold offices in the U.S. Bishops' Conference, and they have never been elected," Royal said. He compared the group to "The Squad" in U.S. politics, calling them "a very definite...

    ALBANY – Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday repeatedly refused to tell The Post why she won’t release her tax returns like other top Democrats in the state did earlier in the week. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have made income tax returns available for review by reporters, but James is refusing to do so — even as she fights back allegations she falsified information on mortgage applications. The Empire State’s AG bizarrely claimed that the decision to release her own tax return was up to her staff. “They will make that...

    Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar blamed an accounting “discrepancy” for errors in a financial disclosure that listed her net worth at up to $30 million – while doubling down that she is not a millionaire, a report said. The lefty “Squad” lawmaker – facing fraud probe calls from President Trump – insisted the initial figures in a disclosure filed last May were completely off-base, as an amended filing now shows shared assets with her husband of up to just $95,000, according to The Wall Street Journal. “The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,”...

    According to a report in The Slovak Spectator, the site of an ammunition depot dating to World War II has been identified outside of the city of Bratislava in the Little Carpathian Mountains. "Based on the composition of the finds, the terrain, and their distribution, we were able to determine that this was an ammunition depot used by German forces defending Bratislava at the end of the war," said archaeologist Matúš Sládok of the Regional Monuments Board Trnava. The depot, built in 1944 by forced laborers, was part of a defensive system that began in Slovenia and ran through northern...

    An intact mortar shell has been discovered at Scotland's Culloden Battlefield by a team of researchers led by Derek Alexander of the National Trust for Scotland and Tony Pollard of the University of Glasgow, according to a Scottish Field report. Fought on April 16, 1746, the battle marked the English government's defeat of Jacobite forces, who supported the return of the exiled Stuart king to the English throne after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. The undetonated shell is thought to have been fired by government troops from a Coehorn mortar and then to have landed on boggy ground, where its...

    Look in the sky! It's a bird. It's a plane. It's an invitation to this year's prom? Prom season is here, which means students are coming up with creative ways to ask their dates to accompany them. The tradition has become known as a "promposal." One such promposal was shared on social media by Mason City Schools in Mason, Ohio, after a senior made a grand gesture and reached sky-high with his request. "Mia Fischette fly to prom with me!" the banner on a plane said as it flew above the MHS campus. "I honestly I get really excited because...

    A payment dispute between a San Pablo, California resident and a local dumpster rental company ended with a load of debris being dumped back onto the customer's property, an incident caught on a neighbor's surveillance camera and now circulating widely online. Martin Perez, owner of Express Rental Dumpster, said he felt he had "no other option" after a customer repeatedly promised to settle the bill but moved out of the home without paying a $700 balance. "We don't want to do it, but I'm tired," Perez said. Perez told ABC San Francisco affiliate KGO that attempts to collect payment failed....
