Rutgers University professor and "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook" author Mark Bray is releasing a new book recounting his decision to flee the United States with his family in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, portraying modern America as consumed by a "fascist present." Bray’s forthcoming book, "Unpunctuated Death Threats: Notes from a Fascist Present," is scheduled for release Jan. 19 and chronicles the professor’s departure for Spain after he allegedly received death threats and had his home address circulated online. The publisher explicitly connects Bray’s decision to leave to the political atmosphere after Kirk’s murder, saying that "in the wake...

GOP U.S. House candidate Joseph Arminio was removed from a candidate forum Thursday after repeatedly misgendering Democrat U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride. Dr. Mike Katz, the Republican candidate for Delaware’s U.S. Senate seat, is calling on his fellow party member Joseph Arminio to withdraw from the U.S. House of Representatives race after Arminio repeatedly misgendered incumbent U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride at a candidate forum Thursday night. In a statement, Katz said that public forums should be focused on issues and “be grounded in civility, basic decency, and mutual respect.” Katz also wrote that people can disagree on policy, but it does...

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed claimed that slavery “profoundly” influenced the American health care system and that any public opposition to taxpayer-funded treatments for illegal immigrants would be a “deliberate, racist attack.” In a resurfaced 2022 interview, the doctor claimed slavery still weighs on America’s for-profit health care. “Racism continues to flummox our capacity as a society to invest in collective public goods” and remains “more powerful than the self-interest of … lower income white folks … in legacy confederacy states,” he said. The Michigan Democrat, who ran a failed campaign for governor of his state in 2018, went...

In addition to her government and advocacy work, Afridi is currently listed as an editor at Pinko, a magazine which describes itself as “a collective for thinking gay communism.” On the masthead, she went by “L. Israh Afridi.” Israh is an Arabic word for “night journey” that is sacred in Islam. . . . .Afridi is a close friend of Cea Weaver, the notorious top Mamdani housing official who’s called home ownership “a weapon of white supremacy” and expressed a desire to “impoverish the white middle class.”. . .Afridi is only the latest in a string of oddballs, cranks, antisemites,...

James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, once described parents who refused to acknowledge their children’s gender identity as potentially engaging in "abusive" behavior. "I think there are some folks that would think that if you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful. And whether or not we label it with the term abuse, it's abusive for sure," Talarico said while speaking at a committee hearing in the Texas Legislature in 2019. Talarico’s resurfaced comments add to a growing pile of past remarks that cut against his efforts to paint himself as a moderate on issues...

This New York pol has a secret BDSM past. Chris Gallant, 37, the Democratic nominee running against Long Island Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) was previously involved in a very different kind of campaign: selling toys as a model for a fetish sex shop, The Post can reveal. Gallant appeared in multiple pics for “Mr. S Leather,” a San Francisco-based purveyor of leather-daddy supplies, wearing collars, leather straps, neoprene, bondage gear, and more. These images of Gallant are no longer on the store’s site, but are still accessible in internet archives, which show they were online between 2011 and 2020. “The...

PHOENIX — Vandals have defaced the statue honoring Charlie Kirk. Red paint was sprayed across parts of the statue standing outside Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix. The piece of art was unveiled a year after the activist was assassinated while he was talking to college students in Utah. No information on when the statue was vandalized or who the possible suspects are.

They’re declaring war on Ozempic! In a completely jaw-dropping moment at the recent Democratic Socialists of America-backed Socialism 2026 conference in Chicago, an unhinged radical made the outlandish claim that GLP-1 drugs are “fascist” because they “genocide fat people.” “The political deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic, not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people,” proclaimed Atlanta activist Da’Shaun L. Harrison. The extremist claimed the drugs, like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro — which were developed to treat diabetes are credited with lowering the risk of...

Video: CBS News' Gayle King reacts live on air to learning Clancy "holdout juror" was the only "person of color" on the jury

The University of Tennessee-Knoxville is condemning messages that celebrate political violence after mysterious "Kirkaversery" [sic] flyers advertised a gathering apparently marking one year since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declaring, "WE WILL CELEBRATE THE FIRST NEW YEAR AK (AFTER KIRK)." The flyers, images of which circulated widely on social media and by Libs of TikTok, advertise an 8 p.m. Sept. 10 gathering on the HSS Lawn at UT Knoxville. But the university told Fox News Digital that it is not sponsoring an event related to Kirk’s assassination and that no organization has registered to use the location for such a gathering. A...

A University of California, Irvine lecturer appeared to endorse violence against conservative activist Nick Shirley ahead of his scheduled appearance Wednesday before the Harvard Republicans. The remarks are drawing attention to campus political rhetoric surrounding Shirley, whose investigations and viral videos have made him a prominent conservative voice online. "In the comments of the Harvard Republican Club’s recent Instagram post announcing Nick Shirley’s visit to campus, UC Irvine and Chapman lecturer Matthew Goldman appears to endorse a potential act of violence against Shirley, just before the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination," *** In screenshots shared by Yard Report, Goldman...

Much has been made about Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s version, or perversion, of “Christianity.”The Democrat nominee has called St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Austin home since he was two years old, he says. It has been led for 35 years by Rev. Jim Rigby, whom Talarico calls a “mentor.” Rev. Babs Miller is “Minister to the Parish,” according to the progressive church’s website. So, one might conclude Miller knows a thing or two about St. Andrews’ congregants and their beliefs.“We still have people in this church who wish that the young man had not just nicked his ear,...

It was Christmas Day when Annie decided she was going to leave her husband. There had been no blowout fight, no infidelity, not even a borderline offensively thoughtless Christmas gift. But Annie had seen something she couldn’t unsee. “Episode Six: The Cottage. That was the turning point,” says Annie, a 38-year-old teacher. “I remember just sitting there thinking, This is so far from my reality.” Nine months after it aired in the U.S., where it averaged over 10.6 million viewers per episode, the influence of Heated Rivalry has only grown, so much so that it has begun to infiltrate a...

The home of Australian pastor Andrew Sedra was reportedly attacked by multiple LGBT activists, who issued threats against the family members, including their newborn son. The pastor's X account posted security footage of the attackers, saying they cut off power to the home and tried to gain entry. "On Thursday night, 4 left-wing activists including 2 hooded individuals came to our home after our address was leaked publicly online," the post said. "They threatened to kill us and destroy us, they cut out the electricity from our home and attempted to break in. They knew our whole family by name,...

When we return to work after the Labor Day weekend, the hope is that America will start paying attention to the stark choice offered at the midterm elections in November. There are just two months left until voters decide whether the Trump administration can continue the free enterprise agenda that is sparking an economic boom and keep reversing the woke cultural insanity that ruined so many lives — or whether the big-government socialists who call themselves Democrats will cripple all that progress and mire the country in another round of debilitating impeachment politics. While historical precedent and the pundit class...

Only if they vote for him. It's pretty obvious he's a phony. The Democrats' crazy train just keeps coming, each boxcar a wonderland of leftist lunacy. Michigan's swing 7th District has gotten a beaut, a mild-mannered J.D. Vance-looking Democrat named William Lawrence, who all of a sudden has deleted a lot of his tweets. Yeah, it's a lot of them. Hundreds. According to Mediaite: A Democratic congressional candidate is distancing himself from now-deleted social posts in which he cheered for open borders, promoted a Democratic Party “civil war,” and blasted the nuclear family as part of a “violent way or...

Coincidentally? Prophetically? Providentially? Whatever the right word may be, the headline for NRLC President Carol Tobias column is “Pro-lifers offer an antidote to cultural madness.” This particular instance of cultural madness took place over a week ago, and I’ve just learned of this viral outrage. Calling herself “Moraa,” this attention-starved woman posted an Instagram guaranteed to get clicks. It included typical baby announcement objects, only it was not a celebration of an impending birth but the declaration that she’d had an abortion! (Picture on link) “The unapologetic advisory — made complete with itty-bitty infant shoes, alphabet blocks spelling ‘B-A-B-Y’ and...
