Bubba Wallace may be the darling of the leftist sports media but he is clearly not at all popular among NASCAR fans, as evidenced by the loud and clear booing of that greeted Wallace during driver introductions this weekend.Fresh off his mere one-race suspension for shoving Kyle Larson – the smallest man in NASCAR – fans at Martinsville treated Wallace to a chorus of boos.As The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck reports, the booing from the Virginia crowd for Wallace was far greater than any other driver received.Wallace will always maintain a residual level of unpopularity among NASCAR fans for the brouhaha...

In 2021, the two largest teachers’ unions in the country collected over half a billion dollars from their members, and almost all of their political spending went to leftist causes. While 57 percent of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) membership is either Republican or independent, nearly 100 percent of political spending of the $575 million in dues was funneled into far-left politics.

In most public discussions, “affirmative action” in higher education is treated as one of the core issues that divides liberals from conservatives. It is rare in public life to hear a Democratic leader criticize the use of racial preferences in college admissions, and it is equally rare to hear a Republican support them. Supreme Court opinions on the use of preferences have typically broken down as splits between “liberal” supporters and “conservative” critics, and many journalists have opined that such preferences are now in great danger because of the six-to-three conservative majority on the Court. The ideological divide on this...

A California district superintendent recently announced that a high school football team was no longer allowed to display the Thin Blue Line at its games, but that didn’t stop Saugus High School players. When most of the team ran onto the field Friday night, the tradition of the Thin Blue Line Flag was absent. Two players then came onto the field carrying an American flag and a Thin Blue Line flag, even after Superintendent Mike Kuhlman announced they weren’t allowed to show the flag supporting law enforcement .. Kuhlman announced the decision to ban the team from displaying the flag...

If people haven’t figured out that AOC is a political hack, I am not sure what will change their minds. Maybe this video? Channeling her inner Hillary Clinton circa 2007, AOC got in front of a black audience at a recent speaking appearance for Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and went full preacher mode, replete with the drawl, twang, and unmistakable cadence of someone decidedly not New York Puertorican. There are no words. Just watch: VIDEO AT LINK.................... I’m proud to be a bartender. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with working retail folding clothes for other people...

On "The View" Thursday, White House correspondent April Ryan advised young journalists to not make themselves the focus of their reporting. "Please understand it’s not about you. It’s about the story," she told the audience. However, in Ryan's new book, she seemed to relish making herself part of the story. In her book, "Black Women Will Save the World: An Anthem," Ryan touted how her fight to preserve "democracy" and "the vote" from Donald Trump and his allies, "made her a target." At one point, she even embraced her role as an activist. "Our activism is rooted in serving the...

Tuesday on FBN’s “Varney & Company,” former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) predicted Republicans would not nominate former President Donald Trump to be the party’s 2024 nominee. According to Ryan, “anybody not named Trump” was the GOP’s best opportunity for success. “Is Donald Trump electable in 2024, bearing in mind that you have a history with Mr. Trump?” host Stuart Varney asked.

The teenage gunman who killed a teacher and a 15-year-old pupil at his old St. Louis high school left a note calling his lonely life a “perfect storm for a mass shooter” — and was armed with enough ammo to kill hundreds. Orlando Harris, 19, left a manifesto-like note in his car before storming Central Visual and Performing Arts High School with an AR-15-style rifle and at least 600 rounds of ammo Monday, killing two and injuring seven others, police said Tuesday. “He wrote, ‘I don’t have any friends. I don’t have any family. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve...

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — A credit card that "must have fallen out of her bag" turned a woman into a crime victim. That card was used at a food and liquor store on President Barack Obama Highway in Riviera Beach, and some other places. Police went there on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 24, and met up with a mother and daughter. The two have a joint account together which was attached to the daughter’s debit card. The daughter said she keeps it in her purse, and she last saw it the day before. Still, charges were being made....

The Daily Caller’s Noah Pincus asked New Yorkers whether they think white lives matter after rapper Kanye West, formally known as ‘Ye’, wore a t-shirt with the phrase. Ye stunned fans when he wore a t-shirt with the words “White Lives Matter” printed on the back during a Yeezy fashion show in Paris in early October. Ye then tore into the Black Lives Matter movement, calling the group a “scam.” “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it’s over. You’re welcome.” Pincus took to the streets of New York to ask New Yorkers how they feel about...

“If you really want to prove to black people that you love us and you care about us and you are down for the cause, do not go see that movie opening weekend,” she said. “You buy your ticket. You give it to a black person or a black family who can’t afford to go.”

First, you’ve got CEOs and executives who want to distance themselves from the greedy image of past business leaders. They want you to know that they are not like the ruthless banking moguls and oil tycoons from years gone by. They aren’t destroying the planet, and they aren’t taking advantage of consumers with sub-prime mortgages. They aren’t stealing or grifting, they’re helping! They aren’t in it for themselves, they care about you! journalists — themselves often politically biased and ethically compromised — have continued to spread the fiction that corporate leaders and entrepreneurs are not just “good” people but near...

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Democratic party needs to stop listening to “elite coastal people” who push identity politics. Thursday on MSNBC, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said, “I’ll make this prediction right now. We’ll pick up two to three in the Senate and pick up the House. We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them.”

A balanced focus group on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday morning surely didn't go quite as producers expected when the Democrat and the independent voter both found themselves agreeing with the Republican on key issues, including "woke culture" in schools. The discussion, moderated by anchor Margaret Brennan, started off pretty tame and predictable, with participants describing the effects of a sputtering economy, inflation, and high gas prices on their own lives. But when the topic turned to raising children in America, even Brennan seemed surprised by the level of agreement. What are your biggest concerns about raising children in America...

U.S. students in most states and across almost all demographic groups have experienced troubling setbacks in both math and reading, according to an authoritative national exam released on Monday, offering the most definitive indictment yet of the pandemic’s impact on millions of schoolchildren. In math, the results were especially devastating, representing the steepest declines ever recorded on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the nation’s report card, which tests a broad sampling of fourth and eighth graders and dates to the early 1990s. ...

A progressive Seattle lawmaker known for her efforts to defund police claimed local cops ignored a series of politically-motived feces flinging attacks on her house City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, 49, wrote in a letter that the Seattle Police Department was “failing to investigate” six incidents in which the human excrement was tossed into her yard, KCPQ-TV reported Friday. “As a socialist City Councilmember who has participated in Black Lives Matter protests, I am being told that my case of six threatening incidents involving human excrement doesn’t merit even a serious investigation, let alone protection,” she wrote to city officials.

"First, the claim that CRT and gender ideology are not being taught or promoted in America’s pre-college public schools is grossly misleading. More than nine in ten of our respondents reported some form of school exposure to at least some CRT-related and critical gender concepts, with the average respondent reporting being taught in class or hearing about from an adult at school more than half of the eight concepts we measured. Eight in ten reported being taught in class at least one concept central to CRT and contemporary left-wing racial ideology, with the average respondent reporting being taught two of...
