Lefty advocacy group MoveOn is targeting Disney and ABC offices in the Los Angeles area with the mobile billboards, urging new Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro to “protect free speech” and “stand firm against FCC Censorship.” MoveOn said the billboards will “circulate around Disney Headquarters, Disney-ABC Television Group, ABC 7, and Disney’s corporate office in Burbank, CA,” WDWNT reported. The campaign comes after Trump...

During a May Day rally in Chicago, several demonstrators — including students participating in a walkout encouraged by teachers — struggled to explain the core ideologies they were championing, according to on-the-ground reporting by Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin. Tobin spoke with a Chicago Public Schools student, Cody West, who was carrying a "Party for socialism" sign. When Tobin asked the student if he believed in or knew what socialism was, West admitted, "not really, not too much." West mentioned that some teachers told students "it's a walkout, you guys can just go, go protest." A Chicago Teachers Union...

One of the potential military options that Trump will reportedly be considering is a “short and powerful” wave of airstrikes… Of course any new attack by the U.S. will likely provoke a very strong response from the Iranians.

You may have heard that New York City has a “budget crisis.” The reason you may have heard that is that our new Mayor Mamdani has been loudly proclaiming that mantra to anyone who will listen. After taking office on January 1, Mamdani promptly came up with the “budget crisis” theme during his first month in office, of course blaming the supposed crisis on his predecessor Eric Adams; and he has been repeating the mantra regularly ever since. From a Mamdani press release on January 28: TODAY, Mayor Zohran Mamdani outlined the “Adams Budget Crisis,” a fiscal emergency driven by...

This video has gone viral in the last day on Instagram, X, and TikTok. Reading ability (proficiency and literacy skills) among youth has declined in recent years, especially in the US, with scores hitting historic lows on national assessments. 👀📚 pic.twitter.com/CCMpWdx2Ls— Rain Drops Media (@Raindropsmedia1) April 29, 2026Like a ghostly silhouette, this video demonstrates the gauche condition of America's hollow education system and its extraordinary failure to teach children to read. Here's Google Gemini reminding us that "extraordinary" is an intermediate level word. It's not a five-dollar word. It's just a normal part of language. "She wore a silhouette of...

There have been 63 school shootings – meaning any time there is gunfire on a school campus – so far in 2026. They happen so often that preparing for one has become normal. Students as young as 4 years old routinely practice for the possibility of a school shooting with lockdown drills – typically, hiding in the corner of a dark classroom, behind a locked door. Pauls Valley High School in Pauls, Oklahoma, went into lockdown on April 7, 2026, after an armed gunman fired shots inside the building. Kirk Moore, the school’s principal, tackled the gunman and got shot...

MINNEAPOLIS — The infamous Somali immigrant-run “Quality Learing Center” in Minneapolis was abandoned on Wednesday — a day after the FBI raided the daycare and about 20 other local operations as part of an investigation into allegations of massive social services fraud in Minnesota. The business’s misspelled sign has been removed, and replaced with a sign warning visitors that security cameras are in use. The building itself — which was painted a spearmint-like color when The Post was there in December — has been repainted a more neutral slate-blue hue, and a pair of “no trespassing” signs were newly hung...

A California Democrat is facing backlash after hosting a Hamas-associated group at his office on Capitol Hill last week. Rep. Derek Tran welcomed a group of leaders from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as part of the "National Muslim Advocacy Day," an annual lobbying event organized by Muslim advocacy groups. CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights organization, was recently designated as a terrorist organization by the state of Texas and Florida following accusations that the group supported funding for Hamas. The group has since filed defamatory lawsuits against Governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis. Among those in attendance...

Plenty of people are concerned about the rise of artificial intelligence, or AI. Two of our four kids are freelance graphic artists, and they are (legitimately) worried about their incomes being yanked as more people use AI for simple graphics chores like designing logos, and increasingly for more complicated work, like graphics for television programming and websites. It's a fair thing to be worried about, but as I have advised them both, that genie ain't going back in the bottle, so they'd best figure out how to work with it - or find another line of work. These kinds of...

A teacher at a pre-K and kindergarten in Cincinnati, Ohio, is facing intense backlash and calls for her termination after posting a video expressing her disappointment that President Donald Trump survived the latest assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday. Corinne Baum, whose LinkedIn says she is a teacher at The Children’s House in Cincinnati, a private Montessori-style school, posted a video lamenting the news that the gunman’s attempt on the president’s life had failed. “Man, there’s been a few creators on here saying that like Friday or yesterday could have been the day, and then I...

It is broadly agreed by constitutional scholars that the purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment was to constitutionalize the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Many in Congress initially argued that the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 granted citizenship and the rights and liberties attached to that status. Others argued that there should be explicit legislation, which resulted in the Civil Rights Act the following year. Still others thought the Civil Rights Act was insufficient because future majorities could repeal it. This concern became the impetus for the Fourteenth Amendment, which constitutionalized the Civil Rights Act.The citizenship clause was a...
