The award to Roddie Edmonds, who died in 1985, was announced last week. It comes more than a decade after Israel’s Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, recognized him as a “Righteous Among the Nations” for his bravery and six years after President Donald Trump recounted his heroism during a Veterans Day parade. Edmonds, a sergeant from Knoxville, Tennessee, was the highest-ranking soldier among a...

This 5 minute Disneyesque animated short is the saddest thing I've ever seen. The song and images tell the story of what it means to see a Country descend into an Islamic state. Beautifully done and so on the mark.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche took to social media Friday to fire a U.S. attorney newly appointed to his post by judges, further engulfing the leadership of one of the most important prosecutor's offices in the country into uncertainty. Hours after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia unanimously appointed James Hundley, an attorney with 35 years of experience to the role -- which was vacated after the appointment of President Donald Trump's handpicked attorney was deemed unlawful -- Blanche announced his termination with a snarky statement. "Here we go again. EDVA judges do not pick our...

Progressivism is seeking to sacrifice another Hollywood masterpiece to their “problematic” gods because the mentally ill villain of the film is a man so desperate to be a woman that he murders for it. While the character is never labeled as trans, the fictional portrayal has been deemed offensive. In the annals of cinematic history, few films have left as indelible a mark as The Silence of the Lambs. Released in 1991, Jonathan Demme’s...
