A bullet almost hit the children of a North Carolina pro-life candidate while they were sleeping last month in what many believe was an act of political violence. The Post Millennial reports the FBI is investigating the shot that was fired into the home of U.S. Congressional candidate Pat Harrigan’s parents in October. Harrigan, a pro-life Republican, is running against pro-abortion Democrat Jeff Jackson. According to WBT News, someone shot a bullet into Harrigan’s parents’ home late in the evening Oct. 18, and the bullet lodged into a wall about 20 feet from where his 3- and 5-year-old daughters were...

President Joe Biden on Wednesday condemned Republicans for contributing to political violence during a speech outlining the threats to American democracy. “We must, with an overwhelming voice, stand against political violence and voter intimidation, period,” Biden said during his speech at Union Station in Washington, DC. “Stand up and speak against it.” But while Biden specifically mentioned the attack on Paul Pelosi, the January 6 riots on Capitol Hill, and harassment of public voting officials, he did not outline examples of political violence from leftists. A man tried to stab the Republican candidate for governor of New York Rep. Lee...

In 2021, the two largest teachers’ unions in the country collected over half a billion dollars from their members, and almost all of their political spending went to leftist causes. While 57 percent of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) membership is either Republican or independent, nearly 100 percent of political spending of the $575 million in dues was funneled into far-left politics.

The private consortium that reported election "misinformation" to tech platforms during the 2020 election season, in "consultation" with federal agencies, targeted several news organizations in its dragnet. Websites for Just the News, New York Post, Fox News, Washington Examiner, Washington Times, Epoch Times and Breitbart were identified among the 20 "most prominent domains across election integrity incidents" that were cited in tweets flagged by the Election Integrity Partnership and its collaborators. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the State Department, and liberal groups such as the Democratic National Committee, also flagged purported misinformation through the consortium.

Framing the Nov. 8 election for Pennsylvania governor as a fight against “dangerous extremism,” Democratic candidate Josh Shapiro spoke to 200 supporters Thursday afternoon in Bethlehem. Shapiro, who is Pennsylvania’s attorney general, is running against Republican Sen. Doug Mastriano, whom Shapiro called out for his views on banning abortion & doubts about the 2020 presidential election. This guy is the most dangerous, extreme candidate ever to run for governor of PA-and by the way the most dangerous & extreme running in the nation right now,” Shapiro said of his opponent, who campaigned in the Lehigh Valley with a Nazareth stop...

In the first couple of pages of her 1987 memoir Being and Becoming, Myrna Loy gets down to business. Talking about the sex lives of Hollywood stars such as herself, she tells us that "any business involving so many beautiful and high-strung people working together on such intense and intimate terms is bound to breed an easy promiscuity. God knows I've fended off my share of amorous men – attractive, desirable men." She goes on to provide a short list: John Barrymore ("just because he felt like a little redhead now and then didn't incline me to join the club..."),...

I explore Blue America's reaction to the blessings of diversity and multiculturalism.

Pennsylvania Democrat, John Fetterman, is holding a campaign event on Sunday, September 11, though not to commemorate the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Instead, the Senate hopeful is holding a pro-abortion rally alongside an activist who supports the movement to defund police. The "Women for Fetterman" event is aimed at showcasing the candidate's support for "reproductive freedom" in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Fetterman, who has said he does not support any limits on abortion, will appear with female lawmakers and Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson. The pro-abortion group has said it...

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten admitted to sharing a false tweet claiming that certain books were banned in Florida on Sunday. The list, posted by an account called "Freesus Patriot," claimed that Florida has banned books such as, "To Kill a Mockingbird," and "A Wrinkle in Time." The account also tweeted that they would not reveal the source of the list. Weingarten was re-elected to lead the AFT in July, making it her eighth term as AFT president. Weingarten replied to another tweet pointing out that the list was "made up" and said that she should have...

In a move its own Diversity Curriculum Committee has heralded as “unprecedented,” Northern Arizona University will soon mandate students take four diversity, equity and inclusion courses grounded in “critical theory” to earn a degree. The new grad requirement is scheduled to take effect in 2024 at the large public university, located in the progressive city of Flagstaff and enrolling some 29,000 students. The four diversity courses must come from the categories of “global diversity,” “indigenous peoples,” “intersectional identities,” and “U.S. ethnic diversity,” according to an internal memo from campus administrators. The 12 credits of diversity requirements were approved in October...

The Radical Christians are found in rural areas. Their towns are defenseless, they have almost no cops and their firemen are volunteers. They have to borrow cops and firemen from neighboring jurisdictions miles away in order to handle anything big. And they think they are safe out there! Forget burning the cities, we have the cities on our sides. It's time for rural areas to feel the heat. If we show up 100 people deep in every rural home, everything within a 50 mile radius intent on revolution, you'll crash their [white supremacy] system and make them pay.

Colombia, which is America's strongest ally, has always had the most level-headed voters in the region. They've had two conservative parties, sometimes at once, and voters there have always rejected the crazy left, which in their case, is a Castro-grade revolutionary crazy grade of left, with Bill Ayers-types on steroids. They did, after all, fight a 60-year war against Marxist narcoterrorists, with only a few university wokesters defending them. So it was shocking news that on Sunday, Colombians went and elected just about the worst leftist of this stripe, a former M-19 narcoguerrilla named Gustavo Petro, president, turning one of...

VIDEOShe appears to be satanic as you can plainly see in this video. So much so that you have to wonder if the Canadian HR recruiter Tammy (Serpent?) Sepetis who posted a chilling video on TikTok has been possessed by the devil. In her extreme leftist anger she threatens to check social media for any hint that prospects display the slightest bit of conservatism, such as showing support for the Canadian Freedom Convoy, and then ruin their careers if she deems them politically guilty. Unfortunately for Sepetis, it was her extreme stupidity that caused her to post her vitriolic video...

Voters in San Francisco have chosen to recall embattled District Attorney Chesa Boudin following a recall effort centered on his handling of rising crime across the city. San Francisco voted to recall Boudin with 61%, compared to 39% who wanted him to stay as the district attorney, according to results at the time the Associated Press called the race. Boudin was elected in 2019 with 50.8% of the vote and was sworn in as San Francisco's 29th district attorney on Jan. 8 2020.

I'm watching the insane, radical feminist left go bonkers knowing that there is a possibility that fewer unborn children will get slaughtered in the womb.I just saw a video of Fauxcahontas kicking garden shrubs and yelling in her shrill war-path tone about the 'assault on women's rights'.We're all too familiar with the retaliatory nature of the unhinged left; I'm beginning to worry that more and more of these radicals will support forced institutionalization of Republican men across the country. On top of that, I can see a massive effort to force vasectomies on Republican men. The left thinks pro-life policy...

In making sense of the recent outbreak of pearl-clutching articles in the leftist media about political involvement by Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, it is important to remember that issues raised by the left are never the real issues for the left. For the left, there is always a deeper strategic agenda that is hidden beneath the surface positions and rhetoric, an agenda that is grounded in a radically different view of a how society should be governed than the one reflected in the American Constitution.The rhetorical veil over the left’s true agenda is often transparent,...

In February 1989, the Replacements appeared on the cover of Musician Magazine with a headline crowning them “The Last, Best Band of the ‘80s.” The unofficial title didn’t sit well with one of the era’s biggest stars: Jon Bon Jovi. The Replacements had developed a strong following throughout the ‘80s thanks to their pioneering alt-rock style. With earnest lyrics and the raw vocals of frontman Paul Westerberg, the group carved themselves a distinctive niche among underground rock fans. They weren’t scoring platinum albums or chart-topping hits, but they were highly respected by the “cool kids.” At the other end of...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday criticized President Joe Biden’s first year in office. Scarborough highlighted how Biden ran and won as a moderate but has since “decided” to “govern as a leftist.” He added that “has failed miserably.”

I work in Big Tech. A name you would know and have probably used before. Wanted to give a rundown of what it's like from the inside right now.
