    The clip begins with Wu, who was born in China, saying, 'I always tell people, the day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor, is the day we start winning.' 'Because we are the majority in this country now,' the congressman continued. 'We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone, and to make things fair, but the problem is our communities are divided - they're completely divided.'
  • Dem pols battle against national voter ID rule despite 71% of their voters backing it

    Top Democratic lawmakers are digging their heels in opposition to a federal voter identification requirement, despite polling showing that close to three-quarters of their voters back it. A colossal 83% of US adults support requiring some form of government-issued photo ID to vote, including 71% of Democrats and 95% of Republicans, a survey by Pew Research last year found. Only 16% of American adults oppose it. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told MS NOW last week when presented with that polling data and asked about his opposition to the GOP’s Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE)...
  • Guess who's coming to dinner! Epstein files photo shows 'wild' dinner party with Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel back in 2015

    A photograph from the Epstein files shows a chummy 2015 dinner attended by some of Silicon Valley's most powerful figures, with Jeffrey Epstein later boasting the gathering was 'wild'. The image, released by the US Department of Justice, shows Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg seated at a dinner table alongside SpaceX boss Elon Musk, and Joi Ito, the former director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab. PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel was also in attendance, but he was not pictured. The photograph was emailed by Epstein to himself on Monday, August 3, 2015 - just one day after he...

    The document, issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and dated Friday, August 9, 2019, states that Epstein had already been found unresponsive and pronounced dead. But prison records and official accounts show Epstein was not discovered unresponsive until the morning of August 10, 2019, when a corrections officer delivering breakfast found him in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
  • The end of college racial quotas is already making America more just

    New York Post ^ | Feb. 7, 2026, 10:10 a.m. ET | Post Editorial Board
    At least one aspect of US higher education is shifting back toward sanity: The Supreme Court has successfully killed blatant racial quotas in college admissions, a boon to all students. Yes, lefties are dismayed that black and Latino enrollment is down at the highest tier of American universities, but that ignores serious good news: Academic “mismatch” is over as students of all races are now going to the schools they are best qualified for. The Hispanic and African-American teens who no longer get waved into Yale or MIT don’t simply sit at home or take a burger-flipping job; they head...
  • ‘March for Billionaires’ overwhelmed by socialists as tax battle hits San Francisco streets

    California Post ^ | 2/07/26 | Barclay Crawford
    A small group of pro-wealth activists clashed with socialist demonstrators Saturday over California’s proposed “billionaire’s tax,” as dueling protests played out on the streets of San Francisco. The rally, dubbed the “March for Billionaires,” drew supporters of the state’s ultra-wealthy residents, who are in the crosshairs of a proposal that would force them to hand over five percent of their net worth to California each year. Organizer Derik Kauffman said many onlookers assumed the march was a joke, given it was staged in ultra-liberal San Francisco. “Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive,” reads a message on the event’s...

    HYPER MOBILE JOINT SYNDROME IS REAL AND IT HURTS I ASKED: I inherited hyper mobile joint syndrome. Please talk about how difficult this is at age 78 as all your ligaments stop working. no one will even admit it's real. AI: It is an incredibly valid and, unfortunately, common to feel dismissed regarding Hypermobile Joint Syndrome (or hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/HSD) at age 78. While many doctors mistakenly believe this condition "gets better with age" (often confusing decreased flexibility with decreased pain), the reality is that the aging process often causes a 78-year-old's hypermobile body to feel like it is "falling...

    In recent days, the news feed has been flooded with all kinds of headlines like “Starlink was shut down in Iran,” “The regime learned how to jam satellite internet,” “Starlink is broken,” and other similar nonsense. Naturally, many journalists and media outlets were happy to exploit clickbait headlines. As a result, many people perceived this narrative as an actually documented fact. Understandably… when such claims are published by well-known media, they surely cannot be false, right?Is Starlink even available in Iran at all?To begin with, a small historical excursus is needed, one that is absolutely essential for understanding the background...

    Warnings that London secondary schools may soon be forced to close due to falling pupil numbers are the latest visible consequence of a much deeper demographic problem. While policymakers routinely point to housing costs, economic insecurity, and delayed parenthood, one central factor remains persistently under-examined: the long-term impact of abortion on Britain’s birth rate. London Councils have warned that demand for Year 7 places is now falling faster than demand for Reception places for the first time on record. Over the next four years, pupil numbers entering secondary schools in the capital are expected to drop by almost four percent,...

    A Washington state mother captured on video the moment she confronted her 16-year-old son, who ditched class to join an anti-ICE protest, and his refusal to get into her vehicle, claiming that the protest was school-sanctioned. The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the frustrated mom, Rachel, pulling up to the protest site and ordering her son to get in the car, only for him to refuse, insisting it’s his “right” because the school permitted it. In the footage, the mother can be heard saying, “You’re not skipping school for this ----. Get in the car.” Her...
  • Mahmoud Khalil opens up uncomfortable questions about October 7 - How could anti-Israel protests be so well coordinated, so fast?

    American Thinker ^ | 5 Feb, 2026 | Aaron Shuster
    The recent decision to expel Mahmoud Khalil from the United States has been treated by much of the media as a narrow immigration matter — a technical ruling about visa status and disclosure failures. That framing misses the larger question his case raises. Khalil’s removal invites a re-examination not just of who he is, but of what followed Hamas’s October 7 massacre — and how quickly the global response was prepared. On October 8, before Israel had mounted any meaningful military response, before troops entered Gaza, before retaliatory operations had even been organized, massive demonstrations erupted across cities, countries, and...

    It was a story that received blanket media coverage in March 2021. It alleged that white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas, viciously "tortured" SeMarion Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover as they shot him with BB guns. A Black Lives Matter activist group charged the local public school district with doing "nothing" to stop "this racially motivated hate crime" as violent protests broke out outside the home of Asher Vann, the white child alleged to have organized the brutal attack.

    A wave of school protests sweeping the US in response to the fatal shooting of two anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota has revealed how teachers unions have weaponized classrooms for their own left-wing agenda. The unions have revealed themselves as political operatives more concerned with indoctrinating kids than teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic. These disruptions didn’t materialize out of thin air. The teachers’ unions fired the starting gun by blasting out anti-ICE propaganda to teachers, urging them to rally against immigration enforcement and turn schools into battlegrounds for their partisan fights. The National Education Association is also pushing teachers to...

    With the National Education Association being thrust into the spotlight after increasing its public opposition against the Trump administration and having been accused of financially backing far-left agenda items, two Republicans are taking steps to revoke its federal charter. The National Education Association holds a rare distinction in Washington, D.C., as the only labor union granted a federal charter, a status it received from Congress in 1906, and critics have argued that the functions of the NEA then and now are much different. Republican Reps. Buddy Carter and Mary Miller have been vocal critics of the NEA in recent years...
