Clueless leftist “comedian” Whoopi Goldberg was forced to apologize and issue a correction just minutes after falsely claiming President Donald Trump did not comment on the Brown University shooting. As a reminder, Trump offered his condolences less than two hours after the campus tragedy, which left two students dead and nine others injured. On Monday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg attacked Trump, claiming he had said nothing about the Dec. 13 Brown shooting or the Dec. 14 mass shooting in Sydney, Australia. At the time, Goldberg was fuming over a Truth Social post Trump issued on Sunday following the shocking...

This is a special time for Christians, Jews and for the Muslims trying to kill them. On October 9, 2023, the Sydney Opera House was supposed to be the scene of a Jewish solidarity rally with the victims of the Oct 7 Islamic massacres in Israel. Muslim mobs instead took over, waving terrorist flags and screaming, “Where are the Jews” and F___ the Jews” while the authorities did nothing. Despite the widespread availability of videos and eyewitness accounts, the authorities and the media vocally denied it ever happened. Arson attacks at two synagogues, one of which was set on fire...

Australia’s domestic intelligence agency, ASIO, had examined one of the Bondi Beach terrorists six years ago over his ties to a Sydney-based Islamic State (ISIS) cell, Australian network ABC reported.

Heavily armed officers raided the family’s home in Bonnyrigg, south-west Sydney, and an AirBnB in Campsie where the men had...

Would Sydney Sweeney care to explain herself to the lunatic scolds? No, she would not — and thank goodness for that. The starlet, who is promoting her new movie, “Christy,” sat down with GQ for a new interview in which she was shamed for — possibly, maybe — holding conservative views. The writer tried to coax some sort of mea culpa from Sweeney for starring in a punny American Eagle ad in which she invoked her “great jeans” and showed off her famous cleavage. The summer campaign was based on an iconic 1980s Calvin Klein ad in which Brooke Shields...

A group called Stand for Palestine Australia announced it would hold a “Glory to Our Martyrs” rally on October 7 — the anniversary of the horrifying Hamas terrorist attack that launched the Gaza war — in the western Sydney suburb of Bankstown. New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Minns said he was appalled by the “terrible timing” of the event. “Terrible timing, shockingly insensitive,” Minns said in a radio interview on Tuesday. “We understand that there is concern about innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza, but to do it … on 7th, seems like they are glorifying the actions of these...

The reaction of the far left to the infamous Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign was, to say the least, absurd. . leftists know it .. they’re not desperately trying to rewrite history and claim they were never bothered by the ad in the first place, and the whole thing was a right-wing fabrication. This attempt at rewriting history comes courtesy of the New York Times, and it’s a perfect example of Orwellian revisionist history. The article begins by recounting conservatives mocking the left’s reaction to the ad campaign, insisting that they “claimed that progressives were up in arms over...

Melbourne -- Australians celebrated and protested across the country on Sunday as Australia Day drew attention to political differences over Indigenous rights months out from a federal election. Australia Day marks a British colony being established at Sydney Cove on Jan 26, 1788, which eventually led to Britain claiming the entire country without a treaty with its Indigenous inhabitants. Indigenous rights advocates call Jan 26 “Invasion Day” and protest rallies have been held in major cities. Many argue that Australia's national day should not commemorate such a divisive event. Australia Day is usually a public holiday and because it fell...
