They came and they weren't turned back,” Ms Panahi said. “11 million entered illegally. Well done border czar.”

    Elon Musk is the richest person in the world but it’s clear that money can’t always buy happiness. The X/Twitter owner spoke movingly of his family, in particular his eldest surviving child, during an emotional interview with Jordan Peterson. “My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” the father-of-twelve lamented.‘The people who have been promoting this should go to prison,’ said Musk Musk claimed that he had been “tricked” into allowing one of his children who transitioned from male to female to take puberty blockers after hearing that the child might otherwise be at…Elon Musk is the...

    Elon Musk has made destroying “the woke mind virus” one of his top goals and the reason is very personal.In an interview with Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, the Tesla CEO and founder says his son is figuratively dead because of it.Musk explained that he was “tricked” into signing off on puberty blockers for his son, Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson."It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,” he told Peterson when asked what he thought about physicians performing irreversible procedures on...

    A horrific crash that killed six high school girls in Oklahoma two years ago has the head of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board urging parents to warn teenagers about the risk of driving after using marijuana. Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy made the appeal to parents Thursday as her agency released the final report on the March 22, 2022 collision between a tiny Chevrolet Spark hatchback and a gravel-hauling semi in the small town of Tishomingo. The board, after an investigation by its staff, determined that the crash was caused by the 16-year-old driver slowing for an intersection, then accelerating through...

    Trump’s Triumph At The RNC Suggests Something Bigger Than Politics Is Unfolding In AmericaOn a convention night infused with an air of divine providence, Trump gave a speech for the history books.It’s difficult to describe historical moments as they’re unfolding, but let me hazard a few initial observations about former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.Watching a presidential candidate (and former president) describe his near-assassination less than a week after a bullet came within millimeters of ending his life is quite simply the most captivating, awe-inspiring thing that has ever happened at a political...

    Eff Bee WhyOur premier federal law enforcement agency can’t be trusted to investigate major crimes.The nation remains on edge, awaiting more information regarding the motive of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin, 20-year-old Pennsylvania man Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks, who opened fire from an unsecured rooftop, very nearly killed the former president during a campaign speech in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was wounded in the right ear and escaped death by millimeters. One audience member was killed and another wounded.Many serious questions have emerged. How was Crooks able to penetrate the security bubble surrounding a former president who is also the leading candidate?...

    NYU professor of developmental psychology Niobe Way sat down with ABC News to discuss her book, "Rebels with a Cause: Reimagining Boys, Ourselves, and Our Culture," which explores how society can better raise boys. Over the years, Way has studied what she refers to as" boy culture" Her book includes case histories and studies that outline the negative impacts on boys when cultures and societies prioritize independence and assertiveness over our inherent abilities to care, listen and rely on one another.

    President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans. He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

    Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is a woman who has a lot to explain, and it turns out she’s not very good at explaining it. ... Cheatle’s record came under scrutiny almost immediately after the attack, with conservative activist Mike Cernovich noting Saturday that her profile on the government’s website emphasized diversity and noted that her prior experience, before becoming the 27th director of Secret Service, was senior director of global security at PepsiCo. ... Take ... the roughly 30 minutes that reportedly elapsed between the time the shooter, Thomas Crooks, was initially spotted on the roof of a building...

    Over the course of only seven years, corporate media hate campaigns against prominent Republicans have incited and provoked three assassination attempts, two of which drew blood.STEVE SCALISEIn June of 2017, a supporter of far-left Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) opened fire on a group of Republicans, including lawmakers, as they practiced for an annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. Along with four others, then-U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) was severely wounded and nearly died.Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Fox News at the time:I was there at the ballfield when Steven Scalise almost died from a very, very angry, violent...

    Townhall ^ | 07/15/2024 | Jeff Davidson
    During the presidential debate, Joe Biden mentioned or, shall we say, tried to mention a survey from early 2024 in which 154 historians rated all U.S. presidents. The ratings are so ridiculous as to be laughable. In the Official Results of the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, listed as a “Joint Project of Professors Brandon Rottinghaus from the University of Houston, and Justin Vaughn from Coastal Carolina University” while only in office for 36 months at the time, Joe Biden was ranked 14th among 46 U.S. presidents, In the same survey, Donald Trump was ranked 46th—dead last. Like me,...

    There Can Be No Unity With The Violent Democrat-Media Industrial ComplexYou can’t incessantly use rhetoric designed to incite violence and then call for calm when violence inevitably erupts.The blood on former President Donald Trump’s face was barely dry before calls to “take down the temperature” and “unite” began rolling in from Democrats and their courtesans in the press.President Biden issued a statement after the assassination attempt Saturday evening calling for unity, as did Vice President Kamala Harris and scores of other Democrats. Even the clueless and cowardly Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson got in on the unity wave,...

    How the media coordinated the failed assassination of Donald TrumpIt takes a particular kind of soulless degenerate to get on cable news the day after Trump is shot and treat the billionaire and his supporters as the real threat, but apparently MSNBC and CNN are well stocked with such people.Two months ago, I predicted that the media were laying the groundwork for justifying the assassination of Donald Trump after the New Republic published an entire issue depicting the former president as Adolf Hitler. I wish I could claim some supernatural gift of foresight, but it was not the first time...

    The reason for My Faith ^ | 7/12/24 | Chuck Ness
    Most people would agree that politics and religion are the two most likely topics that divide even the best of friends. Websters dictionary says that politics is the political opinions or sympathies of a person, while it says that religion is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. I don’t see the difference between the two. When I watch elected officials on the floor of the US Senate or House, I am reminded of an old friend of mine who pastors a church in Columbus, Georgia. He will flail his arms all around...

    A 63-year-old man was attacked by a group of more than a dozen teenagers on the Orange Line train in downtown Chicago on Monday night, he told FOX 32. The victim, Michael Manning, a lifelong Chicagoan, said he was keeping to himself after a 12-hour workday and looking forward to getting home when the group targeted him. "This was surreal. I think I was just so shocked. I think I kind of went numb," Manning said. He recounted that it was after 11 p.m. when the group boarded the train at the LaSalle/Van Buren stop. "I knew right away that...

    Despite the best efforts of leftist activists, many nonwhite parents are fighting back against the LGBT agenda infecting public schools.Like many left-leaning public school districts across America, the leadership of Fairfax County Public Schools just outside our nation’s capital is majority white, despite the region’s racial diversity. Meanwhile, the district’s white, leftist leaders, who incessantly claim to be inclusive, are ironically ignoring parental objections to teaching radical gender ideology in schools.At the end of June, the school board voted to include gender ideology in its seventh-grade sex-education curriculum. In response to a survey in which 84 percent of respondents opposed...

    It’s not perfect, but it’s also not the blueprint for authoritarianism. Far from it.Project 2025, a suggested roadmap for a second Trump Administration pulled together by the Heritage Foundation, is a nearly 1,000-page document written by a bunch of think tankers and right-wing policy experts running the gamut of conservatism.President Joe Biden says the document “should scare every single American.” Democrats, one strategist told the Washington Post, need to “instill fear in the American people.” Donald Trump and his surrogates are already distancing the candidate from the effort.So, I decided to read it. Listen, it wasn’t easy. But the chances...

    A proposed Republican Party platform backed by presumptive presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump, would soften the pro-life stance of the GOP, removing calls for federal restrictions to abortion access and language opposing same-sex marriage. The 2024 Republican convention platform committee reportedly voted 84-18 on Monday during a closed-door session in favor of the proposed abortion plank, which does not call for a national abortion ban nor a constitutional amendment to protect unborn human life. In 2016 and 2020, Trump ran on a platform that called for a constitutional amendment to protect unborn life and for a national abortion ban...

    A few centuries ago, some young men refused to have their property and their political autonomy redistributed to an elite thousands of miles away.The very idea of having a revolution over such a thing seems entirely absurd to today’s wokes.Or as another Englishman once again, “Imagine there’s no countries”. It’s easy if you live in the EU.All that the Crown really wanted was for the colonists to pay their “fair share” of taxes, the same demand constantly put forward by Democrat millionaires like Sen. Elizabeth Warren or Sen. Bernie Sanders, a share that was determined thousands of miles away. All...
