On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that China doesn’t need to feed people on TikTok pro-terrorist and antisemitic beliefs, “they just have to let these idiots talk to each other.” And “Half of it is coming from where they’re supposed to be learning from.”

Sources tell FOX 5 Atlanta that they are looking at "Cop City" demonstrators' possible involvement in the fire at Stone Mountain Park that destroyed the historic Davis House. Authorities are still working to determine if that fire is arson, but are highly suspicious based off the timing of the alarms and who would have access to that area at that time of the morning.

Consensus at meeting: Remove Stephen Foster statue Among the more two dozen people who spoke Wednesday evening before the city’s Art Commission Wednesday, most wanted the Stephen Foster statue along the Oakland stretch of Forbes Avenue to be taken down or moved somewhere less visible. But few speakers were as hostile as Billy Hileman. “You should melt the metal part down and recoup a little bit of [money],” said the educator and veteran activist during the hour-long hearing. “And then maybe make gravel out of the pedestal.” That drew laughter from a crowd of more than 60, but Mr. Hileman...

The Marxist Origin of Wokism: The Hideous Face of RevolutionI am picking up a subject about which I have already written in an article entitled “Wokism: The New Pagan Morality.”[1] We now live in an increasingly post-Christian society. Interestingly, 56% of American voters deemed the term “woke” to be positive, associated with being informed and educated, while just 39% deemed it negative, likening it to censorship and being overly politically correct.[2] In his book, America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Left Conquered Everything,[3] Christopher Rufo traces the origins of CRT/Wokism, showing how America has been quietly taken over by the ideological...

Less than 10 minutes into the new season of the hit Netflix reality show "Selling Sunset," two luxury real estate brokers are already complaining about a new tax on Los Angeles' wealthiest homebuyers. "This is going to be a nightmare for us," says veteran real estate agent Mary Fitzgerald. "We're just screwed." The city's so-called "mansion tax" was about to go into effect when the show was filming its latest season — and the high-end real estate industry was in a tizzy. The owner of one $26 million, 13,000-square-foot home the agents were trying to sell would have to pay...

It has taken about seven months, but we now know what was going through the head of the Audrey “Aiden” Hale, the Covenant School mass murderer. No thanks to politicians, though. They have been delaying the release of the handwritten “manifesto” for months. While it was expected to show that Hale had mental health issues (as it can be argued any mass murderer does), it was speculated that the reason for not releasing the document was because it would have shown the trans-man was targeting the school staff and students because of their Christian beliefs. It was also thought the...

The West has been flooded with barbarians, who are no longer at the gates but well inside them. But the threat of the barbarians from without is minuscule compared to the reality that barbarism itself has become perfectly normal within our society, and barbaric practices have been adopted by many Americans. The chances that a graduate from a prestigious college in America will embrace barbarism are likely higher than your average illegal alien, at least from a few years ago. Most illegal aliens come here to live the American Dream, and prior to Biden’s open door/let’s hand you a check...

Kristallnacht, (German: “Crystal Night”) the night of November 9–10, 1938, when German Nazis attacked Jewish persons and property. The name Kristallnacht refers ironically to the litter of broken glass left in the streets after these pogroms. The violence continued during the day of November 10, and in some places acts of violence continued for several more days.

Black Lives Matter at School in its Oct. 17 statement called Hamas's terror attack "the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians.""Palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not a metaphor or abstraction, but requires real, daily struggle," the group wrote.A number of Black Lives Matter chapters have similarly dismissed and even glorified the terrorist assault, which killed scores of Israelis, including innocent women and children. A coalition of 26 local chapters called the attack a "desperate act of self-defense," while the Chicago chapter shared an image...

After being exposed as a FRAUD, This is what the BLM founder is doing. NO ONE wants to see this.

VIDEOA very nasty and highly condescending Malcolm Gladwell of the New Yorker insisted on purposely mispronouncing the name of Matt Taibbi even after being corrected as well as calling British author Douglas Murray "Doug" during a debate about the mainstream media. In addition, Gladwell repeatedly played the race card in a desperate attempt to win the debate. In the end, Gladwell is served up with a delicious heaping of Karma as you can see as well as alienating the audience with his antics.

Joe Biden gave a special shoutout to his KKK buddy and Kleagle Robert Byrd during his CNN town hall tonight. Senator Robert Byrd was a top Democrat in the US Senate for decades. Joe Biden: “When I got to the United States Senate at a time when we had guys like Jim Eastland, and Strom Thurmond, and Robert F. Byrd and a whole range of people who were very, very, very, very, very, very conservative on race, to say the least.”

Summary:  The President and Vice President both speak with great sadness on the death of their former colleague in the Senate. This morning the President issued the following statement on the passing of Senator Robert Byrd: I was saddened to hear this morning that the people of West Virginia have lost a true champion, the United States Senate has lost a venerable institution, and America has lost a voice of principle and reason with the passing of Robert C. Byrd.Senator Byrd’s story was uniquely American.  He was born into wrenching poverty, but educated himself to become an authoritative scholar, respected...

“The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy, and I’m not saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU…” Biden said. ... But who is the white supremacist? Unfortunately, for Joe Biden there is video of Old Joe delivering the eulogy and KKK Kleagle Senator Robert Byrd’s funeral. They were very close.

When I was at The New York Times, an op-ed by a Republican senator led to a crisis at the paper, and the longest editor’s note that I could remember. At least until the one that was published yesterday about the Gaza hospital bombing (more about that in a moment). Let’s stick, for a minute, to the brouhaha of June 2020. Perhaps you’ll remember some of the details, like the fact that hundreds of colleagues signed on to a statement saying that Tom Cotton’s op-ed “put the lives of black NYT staffers in danger.” My boss—and the paper’s former Jerusalem...

Many leading Republicans and conservatives want someone other than Donald Trump to run for President in 2024. But this judgment requires an assessment of Trump’s vices and virtues in the context of our current political and cultural circumstances, as well as an assessment of other prospective Republican presidential candidates. Tom Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, explains Trump's Virtues.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa has claimed that then-Mayor Bill de Blasio deliberately failed to deploy enough cops during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in New York City because he feared violent clashes between the NYPD and protesters would embarrass him. Like many other issues, how to handle the protests that erupted over the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota triggered disagreements between Cuomo and de Blasio, recounts DeRosa in her forthcoming memoir, “What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis.” “We learned that a high-ranking member of the police...

Just a Question Considering the varied opinions on Critical Race Theory, systemic racism, and the Constitution’s role in slavery begs an answer to my question.

My wife and I have a kid in college, and she’s taking the mandatory Diversity class. The teacher is an older black woman (not sure if she’s African American, Jamaican American, Polynesian American, or other). Having spent almost all day every day this year researching and writing about Critical Race Theory and Reparations for Slavery, I had certain expectations of the class. Of course, on day one the teacher flat out said that they will not be teaching Critical Race Theory, but the homework and required reading is full of it. That is to say, the required reading teaches certain...

I'm just wondering, because radical blacks argue that they were known as Hebrews, which I don't think is the case. I only know they became Israelites, after Jacob wrestled the angel.
