    Where is President BidenThe events of the past ten days in American politics have been nothing less than extraordinary. President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated. At that time,he was factually the presumptive nominee being within 48 hours of becoming the confirmed nomination of the Republican Party. The apparently, at best completely lax security at a high risk event with a high profile target, has lead to calls for investigation, and as I write this, the director of secret service is expected to appear in front the House of Representatives Oversight Committe to face questions on exactly what happened. Simultaneously, the...

    From time to time I reach back into my memory bank and write about my past. This one was a memory that I have been wanting to share for years, and I finally put my memory to type.Everyone has memories they cherish from times when they were growing up. I have many memories, but none of them are as memorable as the ones I have of the Summer of “73”. That Summer holds some of the most cherished memories of my teen years. Yet it also includes memories of doing things that would lead to more bad behavior in my...

    In a shocking display of political manipulation, the left-wing establishment, terrified of the rising right, has trampled on democratic principles by enforcing a cordon sanitaire to block Orban’s Patriots for Europe from their rightful positions, betraying the will of millions of voters.A disgraceful spectacle is unfolding in the European Parliament. The left-wing establishment has united to exclude Viktor Orbán’s new “Patriots for Europe” group from offices that are rightfully theirs. This coordinated effort, known as a cordon sanitaire, is a blatant attack on democracy, showing the left’s desperation as they face the growing power and influence of right-wing voices in...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — With many puzzling questions still remaining unanswered in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally last week, the United States Secret Service announced that it was working tirelessly to investigate anyone who criticized its incompetence. Washington lawmakers, media pundits, and the general public alike all raised red flags over inconsistencies and apparent failures of the Secret Service in the close call Trump experienced, leading the government agency to release an official statement that it was doing everything within its power to track down anyone who would dare to...

    Local actress Ya Hui has been cast as a single mum with an eight-year-old son in upcoming Mediacorp drama Uniquely Ours, despite not having kids of her own. In a recent interview with 8World, the 37-year-old revealed that she used her experience as an aunt and learnt from her friends who are mums to play Lin Minchen. "It's really hard to be a modern mother. You can't scold your kids too harshly and have to consider their feelings and worry about mental trauma," she said. In contrast, she suggested that mums in the past didn't have the luxury of "thinking...

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill this week that allows schools to hide information from parents about their child’s gender identity.AB 1955 is the first of its kind in the United States. It prohibits school staff “from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent.”The law—which passed through both chambers of the state’s Democrat-controlled Assembly—means that children can identify by their biological sex at home and a different...

    A California judge decided that punishing a seven-year-old schoolgirl for being "racist" is A-OK. What did the li'l bigot do? She drew a BLM picture including drawings of her diverse group of friends and added two "inclusionary" words, which this British news outlet found too vile to share on Twitter: The young Falangist, whom the court referred to as B.B., drew the picture and gave it to a friend who is brown, after a lesson on Martin Luther King, Jr. The girl drew four faces in various shades, from beige to brown, depicting her diverse group of friends. The friend...

    We have created a generation of deeply damaged young men. On Sunday, South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham said that the blame for the assassination attempt on President Trump falls upon the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. True, but I’d like to add to that indictment that our culture is also to blame. What I know of the 20-year-old Crooks is what you know of him, and while it’s tempting to say that nothing we’ve heard can be trusted to be true, we can at least assemble a picture of who he was—and wasn’t. Crooks did an evil thing, but we can point...

    MILWAUKEE — Former President Donald Trump’s 17-year-old granddaughter Kai Madison Trump said Wednesday night she wanted Americans to know “the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see” in an unscheduled addition to the speaker’s lineup at the Republican National Convention. “To me, he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking, he always wants to know how we’re doing in school,” the Republican presidential nominee’s eldest of 10 grandchildren said in what her father, Donald Trump Jr., revealed was her first speech. “When I made the high honor roll, he printed...

    Secret Service agents are trained, I believe, to be expert marksman and this kid was 20 years old. Could it have been the FBI that was trying to shoot Trump? Would that be why orders were not given to return fire? It just occurred to me, so I'm asking the question. While the kid was involved, could he have been more of a patsy?

    Female Secret Service agents have caught a lot of backhanded remarks as the country has reacted to the recent shooting of Donald Trump. Some people even seem to think having Lady Secret Service agents might not be the best idea in every situation. That's absolute hogwash! We at the Babylon Bee understand the critical role female agents play in the Secret Service, so we've put together this listicle to help underline all of the special talents these ladies bring to the table: 1. They can hold up their little makeup mirror thingies to reflect the sun into the eyes of...

    SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The Sioux Falls School District quickly fired an employee Monday who wrote a controversial Facebook post about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. In a statement to KELOLAND News, the SFSD said officials became aware of a social media post by a “district staff member” and “the District’s Code of Conduct Policy (GBEB) clearly outlines the high standards to which we hold all staff members.” “The staff member’s statement does not align with the School District’s values and was not condoned in any way. The individual is no longer employed by the Sioux...

    The LGBTQ+ mafia has been emboldened, and a Moms for Liberty county chair is one of the latest victims. Parents who oppose the imposition of sexualized or pornographic material on children face two major threats. They may face intimidating visits from the FBI. Or, like Julie Mauck, they may find themselves canceled. Mauck — a real estate agent in Watkinsville, Oconee County, GA, and county chair of Moms for Liberty — lost her job because of a smear campaign by the LGBTQ+ community. Her alleged crime? At a library board meeting, as a concerned citizen and mother, she requested that...

    From the beginning of recorded history, humans have made monumental decisions based upon the needs of their children. Some parents would move far away from the land in which they themselves were born and raised, because they wanted their children to have a better chance in the world.The Pilgrims, who left England, and many who followed them, came to America both for religious freedom, and a better future for their children. Many may remember the television series based upon Laura Ingalls Wilders’ novel, Little House on The Prairie. It’s the story of a man who moved west so his...

    After years of pushback from parents, a Planned Parenthood facility located in a high school is being shut down. The Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District (NLMUSD) in southern California, which serves mostly minority families, signed a three-year agreement with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to have a “well-being center” at John Glenn High School; by 2022, parents discovered that it was being operated by Planned Parenthood, and were outraged. In addition to testing students for sexually transmitted infections, providing treatment for STIs, and providing contraception of various kinds (including birth control pills and even IUDs), the well-being...
