    BOULDER, CO — Federal Judge Gordon Gallagher issued an emergency ruling blocking the deportation of the terrorist Mohamed Soliman and ordering the Jewish people he burned to be set back on fire. The ruling will require the elderly Jewish people recently released from burn wards to be gathered back together for Molotov cocktails to be chucked at them until all of them are once again ablaze. "Soliman and his family have done nothing but stay here illegally and light Jews on fire. There is simply no cause for the Trump administration to seek their deportation," stated Gallagher in his ruling....

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States Navy announced this morning that the USS Harvey Milk will be officially renamed the USS No Homo. Christened the 'Harvey Milk' four years ago in honor of the infamous gay sexual predator, the ship's name change reflects a broader effort by military leadership to clarify that the Navy isn't actually that gay. "Despite the uniforms, the Navy isn't just nancy boys and fairies," said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. "The names of our ships ought to reflect that non-gayness. It's hard enough for them already, wearing their fruity little sailor outfits, without also having...

    Progressive filmmaker and activist Michael Moore rewrote the words of the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance on Monday, asking his readers to unite against President Donald Trump and "MAGA-heads" in the country. "I pledge allegiance to the people of the United States of America. And to the democracy for which we all stand: One person, one vote, one nation, part of one world, everyone! A seat at the table! Everyone! A slice of the pie! With liberty and justice, equality, and kindness and the pursuit of happiness for all," Moore wrote on his Substack account. The "Fahrenheit 9/11" director said he...

    "They (Ukraine) don't have any cards, but they play it tough. But we're not going to let this continue." (Trump said this three months ago during the Trump, Zelensky, JDVance, Marco Rubio press conference White House) In a cheeky nod to Trump's card analogy, the Business Ukraine journal posted a succinct seven-word taunt aimed at Trump. "Today Zelensky played the King of Drones," they wrote following news of the (audacious) aerial strikes. Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian defense journalist, made a pointed reference to Zelensky's public humiliation in the Oval Office. "This is what happens when a proud nation under attack...
  • Even Leftists Outraged Over San Francisco “Grading Equity” Scam

    AMAC Newsline ^ | 3 Jun, 2025 | W. J. Lee
    Liberals in San Francisco, the epicenter of progressive ideology, just received a sharp and swift rebuke over their latest destructive education idea: “Grading for Equity.” The ferocity and tenor of the backlash – which came from both sides of the political aisle – is a revealing vignette into Democrat dysfunction. The equity grading plan, quietly introduced by San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Maria Su late last month, sought to dismantle traditional academic grading in district high schools and replace it with a system designed not to reward effort and achievement but to conceal failure. Specifically, schools would do away...
  • Coffee Can Interfere With Your Medication – Here’s What You Need To Know

    For many of us, the day doesn’t start until we’ve had our first cup of coffee. It’s comforting, energizing, and one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world. But while your morning brew might feel harmless, it can interact with certain medicines in ways that reduce their effectiveness – or increase the risk of side-effects. From common cold tablets to antidepressants, caffeine’s impact on the body goes far beyond a quick energy boost. Tea also contains caffeine but not in the same concentrations as coffee, and doesn’t seem to affect people in the same way. Here’s what you...

    ChatGPT was released two and a half years ago, and we have been in a public panic ever since. Artificial intelligence can write in a way that passes for human, creating a fear that relying too heavily on machine-generated text will diminish our ability to read and write at a high level. We’ve heard that the college essay is dead, and that alarming number of students use A.I. tools to cheat their way through college. This has the potential to undermine the future of jobs, education and art all at once.The Titanic is indeed headed toward the iceberg, but the...

    CHICAGO, IL — In an incident that brought swift condemnation from Democrats across the country, a local man was immediately arrested and charged with a hate crime for casting a shadow on a Pride crosswalk. The brazen act was allegedly perpetrated by a man later identified as Leonard Morgan, an electrician who claimed to have simply "walked by" the crosswalk on his way to a customer's house. Witnesses said Morgan's shadow could be clearly seen being cast over the crosswalk for over two seconds, which was a clear violation of the law. "There's no place in this city — or...

    Thomas Jefferson High School has been subjected to left-wing education policies and is uniquely situated to display how destructive those policies are.Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) in Fairfax County, Virginia, became something of a household name in recent years, with a challenge to an allegedly racially discriminatory admissions scheme nearly reaching the U.S. Supreme Court and the school essentially selling proprietary education information to the Chinese. Despite the high court refusing to take the slam-dunk affirmative action case, the school is now being investigated from multiple angles by the Trump administration.In the past two weeks, the...

    America’s eighth-largest school district handed taxpayer cash to Planned Parenthood to train teachers that biological sex is a “myth,” according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Philadelphia School District (PSD), which oversees almost 200,000 students, paid Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania (PPSP) nearly $40,000 in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV grant funds to provide up to 70 trainings which decry biological sex as a “myth,” support medical child sex-changes and normalize men in women’s sports, according to documents obtained by the DCNF through a public records request. Planned Parenthood delivered Comprehensive Sexual Education to more...
  • Jeffries, Hochul rage at Trump after Nadler’s aide nabbed by DHS agents: ‘Clearly trying to intimidate’

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused the Trump administration of “clearly trying to intimidate Democrats” after federal agents handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler’s aides in his Manhattan office. The Department of Homeland Security stormed into Nadler’s (D-NY) Big Apple office last week and alleged that his staff was “harboring rioters.” Jeffries (D-NY) largely refrained from delving too much into the specifics of the altercation, but slammed the administration. “I think the administration is clearly trying to intimidate Democrats, in the same way that they’re trying to intimidate the country,” Jeffries told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. Jeffries...

    obviously, the effects of woke and DEI upon schools have been legion. ideas of disparate impact and the attribution of all variance to some manner of systematic oppression needful of imposed redress mostly manifesting more as retribution than restitution (when not even the latter would have been warranted or helpful) have paved a path to the sorts of racist structures that would make jim crow blush. it embodies an ingrained ideal of “different and tainted” created by a sort of birthright original sin as oppressor requiring hair shirts and penitence. it’s as hideous as it is unreflective. racism and discrimination...

    A century has passed since the Supreme Court clearly declared kids are “not creatures of the state.” 100 years ago today, the United States Supreme Court unanimously decided the case of Pierce v. Society of Sisters, a landmark blow in favor of parental rights. The Court’s bold words deserve to be recalled today: “The child is not the mere creature of the state; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations” (268 US 535). Pierce arose because, amidst post-World War I anti-Catholic activism, Oregon...

    In recent years, graduations have become stages for performative, divisive screeds at a largely captive audience. Americans may not have as many rituals as some other peoples do, but we have some. One of those is graduation, symbolizing the transition from one stage of life to another and a celebration of a young person’s accomplishments. (We may actually overdo these, as what was once a transition from college and high school studies is now often celebrated from even pre-nursery school.) Still, it plays a significant part of life, structuring time and change. Parents and grandparents who sat through boring recitals,...

    Former First Lady Michelle Obama is facing backlash after saying that creating life is “the least” of what a woman’s reproductive system does. On the latest episode of the podcast “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,” the former first lady and her brother were joined by OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, whose husband, Eric Holder, served as Attorney General under former President Barack Obama. During the discussion, the former first lady lamented that women’s reproductive health “has been reduced to the question of choice.” “I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there’s...

    The State Department has told U.S. embassies and consulates to expand vetting for all visa applicants who wish to come to Harvard University, including visitors as well as students, according to an email obtained by CBS News. In an internal email dated May 29 and sent by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office to all U.S. diplomatic and consular posts, consular officers were told that this "additional vetting" applies to anyone wanting a visa to come to Harvard for "any purpose." That includes current or prospective students, faculty, employees, contractors, guest speakers and even tourists, per the email. The email...

    ANTARCTICA — With the unexpected growth of the polar ice caps ruining his climate campaign, a frustrated Al Gore was seen blowing a hair dryer at the ice caps in a desperate bid to get them melting again. Gore reportedly mounted a dangerous expedition to the southern ice caps armed with only hair dryers and aerosol cans, resolved to either stop the ice cap growth himself or to punch a hole in the ozone layer and let the sun do the work. "Come on, melt baby," said Gore, shivering. "You're killing me. Stupid cold weather making stupid ice and causing...

    It’s high school graduation season. An exciting time. All over the United States, our best students and hardest workers are looking forward to the next step in their life journey: Some are making the tough choice between a few good four-year colleges. Some are going to save some money the first couple of years, by going to the local community college. Some are entering the military. Some are going to vocational school. Some are going straight into full time jobs and starting their careers. This happens everywhere, at every income level. Our FAFSA forms may look different, but for the...
