While talking to a British reporter, Elon Musk made what I thought was an extremely important point about the “far-right”: Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10 This 'journalist' tries to paint me as 'far-right' and racist. Elon shuts her, and the entire mainstream media, down in the most glorious way. “You support not just the populist-right, but the far-right. Very fringe parties in some countries,” the reporter stated. “No, I support the normal people. What you call far-right, falsely…” Musk replied. “Falsely… you think is the normal person?” she asked. “Okay, yes. Literally, if you go back 10 or 15 years, those...

When you have been a medical professional, there are a lot of things that you'll never be able to unsee. Things like severe anal lacerations. Things like fungus in places where it should not be. Things like genital warts and sores. Things like diseases such as hepatitis, monkeypox, and full-bore AIDS. Things like balls, beads, and light bulbs shoved up into a person's large intestine. Things like cancers that a normal person would usually be able to avoid having. Things like "meth mouth" caused by selling one's body. Things like walking corpses barely able to stand. Things like depression, of...

“First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old. The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head. The goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial...

Democratic political strategist Maria Cardona, a member of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee, joined the RCP podcast on Wednesday to preview the party’s debate over which states should vote first in the 2028 presidential primary. "One of the things we’re going to be discussing in the upcoming meeting—most likely on Friday—is: Where are we now with the early calendar?

We want to make sure that there’s a state from every region: South, West, Midwest and Northeast."...

Senate hopeful James Talarico is on the defensive after remarks resurfaced in which he lavished praise on Texas drag queens as "some of the best" in the country. Talarico, the Democrats' nominee in Texas’ hotly contested Senate race, made the comment in May 2023 while criticizing a bill in the state legislature banning "sexually oriented performances" on public property and in the presence of minors — a measure that would have likely restricted some drag shows. He voted "present" on the legislation at the urging of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus after language explicitly referencing drag performers was stripped from...

The footage shows a blue-haired University of Central Florida student, identified as 27-year-old Jarrett Vick, screaming at a police officer after the cop arrived on campus for an unrelated call. “Why do you let those pigs get away with this?

The officer tells him to lower his voice, or he will be put in handcuffs,...

Christians, according to Talarico, are ‘Christofascists’ who are practicing “Christofascism”. Christianity is far more violent than Islam, according to him, and has caused far more damage to Islam than the other way around. “Christianity is Season 2, and Islam is Season 3,” he told the New Yorker. “I’m Season 2—the most violent season. My religion has done more damage to both of those religions than they’ve done to each other.” And, beyond that, all religions are basically the same and Islam is just as true as Christianity. “I always think of all the world’s faith traditions as a circle, with...

It’s been a tough week for Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico on the sexual abuse front, who is now battling with the public learning that his largest financial backer is listed in the Epstein files, is facing condemnation from an abuse victim’s family for lying, and is refusing to condemn a political ally who consorts with a sexual predator.

A trans and intersex activist vying to replace disgraced Maine Senate wannabe Graham Platner as the Democratic candidate has gone viral for their absurd answer about their qualifications in a debate Thursday. Asked by a moderator what qualifies them for the top office, longshot hopeful Ashley Webb responded with a bizarre rambling string of loopy reasons. “I ran for office several times. Didn’t win, but I did run,” Webb chuckled. “And then I’m a songwriter, and then I write my own books, and then I suppose my transparency,” Webb said. “I wouldn’t lie to the people, and I wouldn’t deceive...

Dr. Sam Hawgood, chancellor of the University of California San Francisco, was pressed by Washington lawmakers Tuesday over the school’s guidelines against using the term “pregnant women,” while testifying about the impact of DEI initiatives in medical schools. “Doctor Hawgood, you see UCSF’s Classroom Guide, titled ‘Framework for Gender and Sex Concepts in Teaching,’ advises against using the term ‘pregnant women,'” Rep.
