In the grand theater of American decline, there are few characters so destructive as the Affluent White Female Liberal (AWFL), a suburban archetype with a Prius, a “Coexist” bumper sticker, and an unquenchable thirst for moral superiority. From the San Francisco Bay Area to the halls of Democrat power, these women, often secular, privileged, are kicking out the pillars upholding our society. Their hyper-liberal zeal promotes family breakdown, political alienation, cultural Marxism, and racial division, all while patting themselves on the back for “saving” the world. It would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous — the irony that the...

Mollie Hemingway -- author, political pundit, frequent guest on Gutfeld!, as well as editor of The Federalist, recently appeared on FOX News and stated that the Democrat party’s base is now primarily made up of angry women. Hemingway is clearly correct, as any honest person who hasn’t lived incommunicado in a wikiup deep in the Brazilian rainforest for the past, say, 30 years, would have to admit. Whenever I see a Prius Subaru vehicle on the road with more than four bumper stickers, I know there is a 95% chance its owner is a member of the far-left community. If...

Fox News launched a new voter poll last night. It’s data that covers thousands of voters who cast ballots early on election day, by mail and in person. Sandra Smith crunched the numbers. The youth vote overwhelmingly went for Mamdani in this race; 75% of their support went to him. And when you break this down into gender, that number gets even bigger. Women under the age of 30 went for Mamdani by 80%. What were voters looking for: 27% said they wanted to bring change to the city. 72% of their vote went to Zohran, the communist. 1 in...

Lindsey Whiteside, 26, is the former youth minister at Getwell Church in Hernando, Mississippi. In 2024, she was arrested and charged with “sexual battery of a minor child by a person of trust or authority” after she groomed and had sex with a 14-year-old girl over a period of several months. While prosecutors demanded 30 years, she only received three years of house arrest and seven years of probation, causing an uproar in the community over the light sentence. This also prompted district attorney Matthew Marton to rebuke the judge in the case while declaring: “She used the gospel of...

As they grapple with a profound disconnection from their parents and older adults in general, nearly 40% of young adult women in Generation Z — those born between 1999 and 2015 — now identify as religiously unaffiliated, according to new data released by Barna Research. The data from 2,000 adults and teenagers between the ages of 13 and 24 shows that 38% of Gen Z women (ages 18 to 24) currently identify as atheist, agnostic or say they have no faith at all. This is higher than the 32% of men in the same age group who said they are...

If Christa Gail Pike's execution proceeds as planned next year, she will become the first woman put to death in Tennessee since the state began to formally document capital punishment more than a century ago. After attempted appeals by Pike's attorneys repeatedly failed, the Tennessee Supreme Court on Tuesday set a date for her to be executed. The order granted a scheduling request from the state for the death warrant to be carried out Sept. 30, 2026, at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, which houses a majority of Tennessee's death row inmates. Under the terms of this week's...

A former “Teacher of the Year” has pleaded guilty to having an “ongoing relationship” with one of her female students starting when the girl was just 15. Brandyn Martin Hargrove was convicted on Wednesday of 12 criminal counts connected to her sexual assault of the ex-student while she was a teacher at Brazoswood High School in Clute, Texas. The formerly-decorated educator was sentenced to 10 years of probation and a 10-year probated sentence, meaning she won’t face any time in prison, despite grooming her student and having a sexual relationship with the minor, which continued until the girl turned 17,...

A beloved Manhattan bodega cat was horrifically mauled to death by two pit bulls last week as the dogs’ heartless female owner and pals “watched and cheered,” animal rescuers claimed to The Post. Tragic adorable tabby Freddy was attacked around 9 p.m. Friday outside Michelle Flowers, where he lived, in Washington Heights, according to volunteer rescuers with Cat Collective NY, who said they looked at surveillance video and spoke with witnesses. The pit bulls’ owner and pals then smoked, danced and ate food while taking photos and mimicking the grisly scene, the group told The Post. “Someone deliberately set dogs...

A California high school female athlete didn’t let coming in second to a male-born transgender competitor prevent her from standing in the top spot on the podium during placement at a state track and field meet. Reese Hogan, 16, was crowned second place in the triple jump at the CIF Southern Section Finals on Saturday — despite setting a new personal record for herself and the Crean Lutheran High School at 37 feet, 2 inches.

I NEED A SURVEY TO TELL ME THIS? Poll: college-educated women end friendships over politics.If you wanted to drill down to the biggest dividing factor here, it’s the portion of the coalition made up of college-educated women – a cohort that now dominates the politics of the Democratic coalition. In their circles, they say differences of political opinion have led to broken friendships with friends and neighbors at a more than 40-point rate – 67 percent to 24 percent.One factor here could be an underlying belief that your friends and neighbors are just flat-out racists over their political opinions. Of...

During an interview with Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul on Tuesday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) responded to safety concerns around allowing biological men in women’s sports in light of the Payton McNabb incident and the state’s lawsuit over the Trump administration’s push to keep biological men out of women’s sports by saying that “I’ll leave you and your viewers and other people to discuss what happened in one video.” Host Amy Hockert asked, “What do you think about people like Riley Gaines…girls and women who we’ve seen, sometimes videos are circulated of a volleyball player who has a ball...

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump used contentiousness around transgender people’s access to sports and bathrooms to fire up conservative voters and sway undecideds. And in his first months back in office, Trump has pushed the issue further, erasing mention of transgender people on government websites and passports and trying to remove them from the military. It’s a contradiction of numbers that reveals a deep cultural divide: Transgender people make up less than 1% of the U.S. population, but they have become a major piece on the political chess board — particularly Trump’s. For transgender people and their allies —...

A transgender-identified male was caught on video attacking female Turning Point USA (TPUSA) leaders while they were tabling at the University of Texas in Dallas on Tuesday.

She’s puts the “blaze” in trailblazer! The first female FDNY Deputy Chief ever was promoted Friday, as top brass hailed her for “shattering the glass ceiling” in the male-dominated field. Battalion Chief Michele Fitzsimmons — a 24-year veteran who joined the Bravest a few months before 9/11— was named Deputy Chief of fire operations at a packed promotion ceremony in Queens. “I hope that other women who are in the department now can see themselves rising through the ranks,” Fitzsimmons, 55, told reporters after the event at at Queens College. “I also hope that young girls can see themselves as...

A female driver was killed and her passenger seriously injured after they were tossed from a Tesla that flipped and then burst into flames on the FDR Drive in Manhattan early Tuesday, cops said. The Tesla struck a guardrail and flipped on the FDR near 70th Street on the Upper East Side just after 2:30 a.m., the NYPD said — with photos showing huge chunks of the electric vehicle scattered across the road.

National personal injury law firm Pritzker Hageman has assembled an all-female legal team to pursue litigation on behalf of women who developed meningioma tumors after using Depo-Provera birth control injections. Compelling scientific research shows that the extremely high doses of the synthetic progestin hormone in Depo-Provera can stimulate the growth of meningiomas. Depo-Provera was approved for contraceptive use in the United States in 1992, but studies going back to 1983 suggested that levels of synthetic progestin hormones found in Depo-Provera can bind to receptors on meningiomas, accelerating their growth. While these tumors are often called "benign," their location means they...
