Despite the massive input of cash from Disney, the BBC’s famed Doctor Who sci fi series seems to be struggling in the UK ratings with numbers coming in lower than even the previous low numbers from last season as the show becomes mired in accusations of ultra woke story telling. The British state-run broadcasting service reports that the sci fi show’s seven-day viewing figures are not auspicious at all for the first half of season 15, the second for the “queer” Doctor portrayed by actor Ncuti Gatwa. The press has also been a disaster for the show. Over the past...

Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon is a Donald Trump fan, even though he doesn’t necessarily like the man. But he appreciates that Trump is taking a “wrecking ball” to the “broken government.” Lydon often voices his support for Trump, but in a interview with The Telegraph, he also says that one does not have to like Trump as a person to support what the president is doing in the White House. The punker told the paper that he “instinctively” hates all politicians. But he still has a soft spot for Trump, whom he calls the “the Orange Bad Man”...

The entire super secret, 1100+ page report has been leaked to numerous media sources in Germany. I can now report the bombshell findings of months of exhaustive investigative research, snooping, and spying by the finest agents available in the German intelligence community and democracy protection racket. The repercussions of this incendiary, voluminous tome could be characterized as... I'm not kidding. The German police state and ruling junta have completely beclowned themselves. The document produced by the constitutional protection agency (BfV) and used as justification for declaring the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party a 'right-wing extremist' group - which enabled...

I NEED A SURVEY TO TELL ME THIS? Poll: college-educated women end friendships over politics.If you wanted to drill down to the biggest dividing factor here, it’s the portion of the coalition made up of college-educated women – a cohort that now dominates the politics of the Democratic coalition. In their circles, they say differences of political opinion have led to broken friendships with friends and neighbors at a more than 40-point rate – 67 percent to 24 percent.One factor here could be an underlying belief that your friends and neighbors are just flat-out racists over their political opinions. Of...

The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election to vice chair of the party. Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was elected vice chair in February but has drawn criticism from some Democrats over his plans to spend $20 million to take down long-serving Democratic House lawmakers in primaries. “[It’s] impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after the vote, according to Politico. “The DNC has...

Federal employees can once again wear political apparel to work. Trump's administration rescinded prior guidance that prohibited campaign or political clothing. Federal employees are still prohibited from engaging in political activities while on duty. On Wednesday, employees at the Social Security Administration received an email informing them of a change in guidance on wearing political apparel at work. The email, viewed by Business Insider, said that the Office of Special Counsel has returned to its previous policy that "does not prohibit wearing or displaying campaign or election-related items in the workplace after Election Day." The email went on to note...

Trump's tariff announcement introduced uncertainty to the markets. Leading to the worst April performance in a long long time for stocks. The media believe this is a threat to Trump's support, but is it?

By now, we all know that DEI isn’t about excellence. It’s not about merit. And it sure as heck isn’t about making anything better. DEI is a movement built on charity, not achievement—and it’s dragging America straight down with it. We’re watching the quality of nearly every major institution collapse under the weight of checked boxes and forced diversity quotas, all thanks to political correctness. The airline industry has become a very dangerous punchline. Under the Biden regime, the military was more about trans rights than military might. And now, even once-trusted names in medicine are trading in their reputations...

Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics. Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.” He added, “Here’s James Carville.” Wednesday on CNN, Carville said, “The most insane thing I ever heard is a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee is...

"We are by long odds the most ill-mannered nation, civilized or savage, that exists on the planet today. Our president stands for us like a colossal monument."I have often wondered at the condition of things which set aside morality in politics and make possible the election of men whose unfitness is apparent. We have never had a president before who was destitute of self-respect & of respect for his high office; we have had no president before who was not a gentleman; we have had no president before who was intended for a butcher, a dive keeper or a bully,...

While Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt to sink President Donald Trump’s first term, in retrospect the party’s leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies. From the Obama-era "Russian Reset" and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Skolkovo investment project to Hunter Biden’s business in Moscow and President Joe Biden’s waiving of sanctions against a Russian pipeline, key Democratic figures reaped political and financial benefits from going soft on Moscow. Newly declassified documents produced by the FBI and the Department of Justice’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation...

I have been following Matt for a while but lately it seems to be more Gabbish in it's somewhat more Holohoaxish articles, against taking out the Riff Raff in Gaza, against Trumps Tarrifs and US taking on the gulf obstructionists in Yemen. What's up with that? Thought he was anti commie. What say you. I do like some of the articles he posts. I guess I am looking for something better to compliment here. What say you?

People’s political affiliation can be shown in their brain activity when they carry out mundane chores such as buying food, a new study shows. How the brain reacts to food purchasing decisions can be used to determine people’s political affiliation with almost 80 per cent accuracy, researchers have found. Although buying eggs and milk can lack emotional potency and political content, understanding how the neural systems lead people to make indistinguishable choices may help to explain the broader mechanisms of partisanship.Experts from Iowa State University, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Exeter measured...

It should be clear by now that Democrats want Elon Musk dead. Elon Musk is arguably the greatest mind of our generation, and yet Democrats are running a campaign against him to get him killed. Where are the sane Democrats? Are there any left? When will they condemn these death threats? On Sunday night, Elon Musk told an audience in Wisconsin that he is receiving 17,000 death threats a day! Democrats want him dead because he supported President Trump and is cutting government spending. The left’s lies are going to get someone hurt. Elon Musk: It’s a super big deal....

He’s a father of a 28-year-old son and he’s hurting. A retired police officer, he proudly voted for Donald Trump every time he ran and never hid his political beliefs from his family. “My son and his wife say that since I’m a fan of Trump they’re no fan of mine and cut me off,” he said. “Now I can’t see my only grandchild who I was so close to. It’s crazy and it’s tragic.” … Social psychologists have long understood that merely identifying with a group in competitive contexts can lead people to view those outside the group less...

Just wondering, what happened to "Project 2025?" The marxist fear-mongers crowed about it 24/7. Did the threat of ending their illicit theft of taxpayer funding take precedence?

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is warning that Democrats’ “very dangerous” rhetoric and behavior could lead to something “serious” against President Donald Trump. During an interview on Fox News, Gingrich dismissed a claim by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that Republicans are “on the run,” warning that Democrats are in a rage and offering “no solutions.” Gingrich said the left is resorting to extreme tactics in an effort to resist President Donald Trump and oppose Elon Musk’s efforts to cut government spending. “Well, I think that everything you showed earlier reflects what Lincoln said at Gettysburg when he said,...

The democrat brand is in absolute free fall. Yet, they continue to double down on stands that have driven to a point where they risk utter irrelevance at the national level. This fall has been quick and almost total... What if anything can they do to turn it around?
