There’s nothing California Gov. Gavin Newsom hates more than a lying politician. At least, that’s what he, very condescendingly, told an NBC News reporter during a recent interview. Oh that is really RICH! The hypocrisy is just astounding. Watch for yourself: Did you see that head tilt? It’s like he knows he’s lying as he lies about hating liars! By the way, Newsom made that comment just before defending Joe Biden’s cognitive state. Utterly shameless. These people are so brazen with their lies. Here’s a longer clip: 🚨 JUST IN: In a bizarre moment, Gavin Newsom tilts his head like...

Check this out: That's a video posted by "Ella Mae" over on TikTok. Her followers thought it was funny. Other very "tolerant" people decided to dress as the ghost of Charlie Kirk, mocking his public assassination in front of his wife and children with a .30-06 round to the neck. This woman in Los Angeles even wore her costume to the gym because she was so proud of it. Next, there's this very inclusive and kind young man, reportedly from Maine, who couldn't help but smile as he showed the world his mockery of a murdered husband and father. He...

Lance Twiggs, the transgender partner of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, has seemingly vanished from his hometown just six weeks after the killing. Twiggs has kept a low profile since reports revealed that Robinson had informed him of the plot in text messages between the two. He has reportedly avoided his $1,800-a-month apartment on the outskirts of St. George, Utah. Authorities say Twiggs has cooperated fully with investigators but has declined to speak publicly about the incident. Robinson, on Monday, made a brief court appearance, where the judge ruled on his request to appear in court...

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is the Democratic Party’s early presidential frontrunner in New Hampshire, topping California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former Vice President Kamala Harris in a new poll. With 19% support, Buttigieg leads Newsom – his closest opponent – by 4 percentage points, according to the University of New Hampshire’s Granite State Poll, released Monday. The only other Democrats in double-digits were Ocasio-Cortez (14%) and Harris (11%). Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) received 8% support and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker garnered a 6% backing. New Hampshire traditionally is the first state to hold both Democratic...

Governments began inserting the term “misinformation” into the mainstream narrative during the pandemic. The government has the sole discretion to determine what is considered factual. “Trust the science” is code for “trust the government” to dictate reality, and if you question that reality, you will be punished. Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner, Brünisholz found himself in a courtroom after posting on social media: “‘If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.” Police officers interrogated Brünisholz over the “intent”...

Helen Andrews' address delivered at NatCon 5 in Washington, DC on Sept. 2, 2025.

This time it’s Jane’s jungle Earlier this month, NYC’s largest Gothic cathedral celebrated the annual feast day of St. Francis of Assisi and his ancient Blessing of the Animals. For 11 years, until the pandemic, I hosted a similar animal’s holiday at St. John the Divine. We loved all — the young, babies, healthy, strays, police dogs, the sick, frail, old, rescues, a frog, fish in containers, turtles, horses outside, sheep, pigs, cows, camels, donkeys, chickens, goats. Even a choir and a rabbi for the Jewish animals. Police rerouted traffic. I remember His Eminence Cardinal Dolan flat on the floor...

Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, isn’t afraid to say what a lot of people are thinking about many of the parents in Hollywood. In a viral clip from The Katie Miller Podcast, the businesswoman and former model was asked why she thinks "so many kids in Hollywood now are transgender." Her answer was blunt: it comes down to bad parenting and a culture obsessed with self-expression over stability. "I just think Hollywood is, you know, it’s all about expression," Flavin said. "So, you know, however you want to express yourself. If you feel like a cat today, you’re a cat....

LEXINGTON, MA — A Pride-parade picture book showing bondage gear and drag nuns is set to appear in Lexington’s 2025–2026 kindergarten social studies curriculum, sparking fury among parents who say the district has crossed the line between inclusion and age-appropriate teaching. The revelation was first reported by Massachusetts Informed Parents, a watchdog group that obtained lesson materials from Lexington Public Schools (LPS). According to their review, the Pride-themed book This Day in June is listed as part of a new “Social Studies” unit for five-year-olds — a class typically reserved for topics like community, geography, and basic civics. But the...

Kennedy, now 89 years old, no longer hears Supreme Court cases. He formally stepped down seven years ago during the first Trump administration. "I loved sitting on the bench," he said. Asked whether he would want to be there today, he replied, "The only reason I left – I love the Court – but I left for something that I love more, which is my wife, Mary." … And as the "swing justice" on the Court, says Greene, Kennedy cast the deciding vote on some of the most consequential political and cultural issues of his era: the 2000 Presidential election,...

The Dylan Mulvaney effect claims another victim. After Anheuser-Busch decided to partner with self-proclaimed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney — a man pretending to be a woman — for an ad campaign featuring him drinking Bud Light in 2023, Fox Business reported sales were down 29.9 percent for the week ending in January 2024 when compared to the previous year. That was 2023. Companies have had time to learn that customers did not want to see delusional men play dress up in a marketing effort, but here we are. Kathmandu Holdings, known as KMD Brands, has reported an $82.9 million loss...

A transgender author fired from writing a prestigious comic book after belittling Charlie Kirk's murder has now mocked the late conservative star's appearance. Gretchen Felker-Martin took to her Patreon crowdfunding website to defend writing '[I] hope the bullet's OK' after Kirk's murder last Wednesday. She wrote: 'I had spent years smelling traces of the poison fumes he left in his wake, seeing his sneering face, his mouth full of teeth like baby corns and gums like congealed aspic.' Felker-Martin - who previously spoke of her desire to slit Harry Potter author JK Rowling's throat over the novelist's views on transgender...

Dr. Hunter is member of the Florida Board of Medicine, the first and only board in the U.S. to have a policy that opposes youth transition and gender care for kids. Meanwhile in Minnesota, a recent report found that Minnesota has the highest percentage of adults who identify as transgender. Many throughout the state are still reeling from the tragedy of the Annunciation Catholic Church and School shooting perpetrated by transgender shooter Robert “Robin” Westman. The horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, and reports that the suspected assassin was reportedly living with a transgender “partner,” have only increased concerns and fears...

The blame game over suspect Tyler Robinson's motives for shooting Charlie Kirk continued to play out this weekend with some on the left continuing to claim that Robinson was a Groyper or someone critical of Charlie Kirk but on the far right.There have been a lot of twists and turns in this story already. There was a report in the Guardian Friday that Tyler's high school classmate said he was pretty far left on everything but by Saturday those comments had been deleted from the story. However, CNN published its own story Saturday which included some similar comments from a...

Graham Linehan is the creator of Father Ted, a truly beloved sitcom from the UK's Channel Four. But, because he is opposed to the notion that women have penises, he was forced out of TV comedy (as ruthlessly homogeneous a world as can be found) and then out of Britain itself. He returned from exile this morning only for the purposes of attending his trial, starting at Westminster Magistrates' Court this Thursday, following his previous arrest by Big Tranny's ideological enforcers at Scotland Yard. So naturally, on landing at Heathrow this morning, he was immediately arrested all over again by...

California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom is the new front runner in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. Behind a social media campaign that mocks the style and demeanor of President Donald Trump, Newsom’s charges have worked wonders for his national profile and elevated what appears to be an all-but-certain presidential campaign in 2028. New polling from Emerson suggests the 57-year-old former mayor of San Francisco is heads and shoulders above his Democratic peers who each possess a fatal flaw that will likely prevent them from warding off the coming era of Newsom. Emerson queried 387 active registered Democrats and...

But the organization's days could be numbered.There was a time when most people would’ve viewed transgender medical procedures on minors as outright child abuse. Now, not only are countless people fighting tooth and nail to keep “gender affirming care” legal, but one organization is actually incentivizing hospitals to chemically and surgically mutilate children. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), an LGBTQ rights group, persuades children’s hospitals to give transgender surgeries to minors, according to a report by Do No Harm. HRC uses a scoring index to measure a hospital’s “compliance with various tenets of gender ideology” and ranks each facility, giving...

An LGBT advocacy group that filed an unsuccessful legal challenge to end religious exemptions to federal Title IX discrimination law for Christian colleges that receive federal funding is closing down. The board of directors for the Religious Exemption Accountability Project emailed an update to supporters on Sunday to announce that they are closing the organization's operations, citing "a serious internal issue" that affected its "financial and operational stability." "While we cannot share all details publicly, we are deeply grateful to the founders, students, alumni, volunteers, donors, and community who believed in this work from day one," stated REAP. "Founded as...
