A Silicon Valley venture capitalist says that men who take six months of paternity leave are ‘losers’ and that ‘in the old days men had babies and worked harder to provide for their future’ which was ‘the correct masculine response.’Joe Lonsdale weighed into the raging debate sparked by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s decision to take paternity leave after he and his husband, Chasten, welcomed adopted twins into their family. Buttigieg was criticized for taking paid time off while the country continues to suffer from the effects of a major logjam at ports that has exacerbated the supply chain crisis.

As Allahpundit pointed out earlier, the Lincoln Project released a statement not long ago admitting that they were the ones behind the tiki hate hoax this morning in Charlottesville, Virginia. But sharp-eyed observers noticed that earlier when images of the hoax first circulated on Twitter, the Lincoln Project was helping to retweet them to their 2.6 million followers: (Snip) Clearly the Lincoln Project was happy to see their own Jussie Smollett hate hoax spread and I suspect they would have let it roll all weekend if they’d be able to. So why did they confess to their involvement a few hours later?
First Lady Jill Biden and French First Lady Brigitte Macron were practically twinning when they met at a restaurant in Rome early Friday evening. Both petite blondes wore navy suits paired with navy heels. They got together at a restaurant called Il Marchese, ahead of their husbands' first meeting since France was blindsided by Australia pulling out of a submarine deal to join a security pact with the United States and the United Kingdom.Afterward, Biden, 70, standing alongside Macron, 68, said the time spent together was 'wonderful.' 'It's nice, two friends together, just like sisters,' she cooed.
Early indications show the 2024 presidential election cycle could see a dramatic face-off between former President Donald Trump and his ex-deputy Mike Pence. The former vice president fueled speculation that he's launching a White House bid in 2024 on Thursday when he delivered a speech championing 'educational freedom' at a small conservative college in Loudoun County, Virginia. Trump remains a polarizing but dominant figure in Republican politics. A recent Morning Consult poll shows that a majority of GOP voters - 67 percent - want him to run for a second term.
Do we know for an ironclad fact that these people are Democratic activists and supporters pulling a ham-fisted, glaringly obvious dirty trick attempt to smear Glenn Youngkin? Not yet. But I'd bet a hefty sum of money that's what's happening here. They're dressed identically. They're carrying tiki torches -- a la Charlottesville -- in the rain. The torches look like they were just purchased at the dollar store. And one of the "white nationalists" crashing a Youngkin event to "support him" is, um, a black guy. Not subtle, gang: (Tweet) Right on cue, a top McAuliffe aide blasted out the tweet,
**Warning: Graphic Images** Washington Post columnist James Hohmann tweeted the news Friday the newspaper’s poll shows “education” is now “the No. 1 issue for Virginia voters in the governor’s race, edging out the economy.”“In September, education voters favored McAuliffe by 33 points, but now they tilt toward Youngkin by nine points,” Hohmann wrote.(Tweet) According to the Post: The Post-Schar School poll, which was conducted Oct. 20-26, finds a larger share of voters saying education is the top issue in their vote compared with the September poll, with fewer citing the coronavirus as the biggest factor in their decision. The survey interviewed 918 likely voters
Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of two GOP House members on the January 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot, said on Friday that he will step down from Congress at the end of his term.Kinzinger, 43, announced his retirement in a video posted on Twitter where he champions the vote to impeach Trump and says the country has been 'poisoned' by 'mistruths' 'It's also become increasingly obvious to me that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a re-election to Congress and a broader fight nationwide,' he said in the message.
A Florida school board member is under fire after tweeting that she was “SO honored” to be invited to chaperone a school field trip to a gay bar with a raunchy menu on Wednesday.The woman, Sarah Leonardi, is an official for the Broward County School Board in Florida.Leonardi accompanied Wilton Manors Elementary School children to Rosie’s Bar & Grill in Wilton Manors, Florida. The elementary school has been participating in this field trip for a decade now, according to the Miami Herald.“I was SO honored to be invited to chaperone @WiltonManorsES’s field trip to the incredible Rosie’s! The students and I had a fun walk over and learned
As the target-rich environment for conservative political pundits continues, I often say the articles and op-eds sometimes write themselves. This is one of those times, as the headline suggests.Better yet, this is one of those “stranger-than-true” articles. Toss in the United Nations and we have a sure “winner.”In a truly bizarre video released by the United Nations Development Programme on Wednesday, a talking computer-generated dinosaur warns humans that they must take urgent action to avoid what our histrionic friends in the Democrat Party are fond of calling “the existential threat of our time” — climate change (or whatever they’re now calling it) action to avoid extinction.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson did not mince words in responding to U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney panning his network for allowing him to spread “lies” about the January 6 protest at the U.S. Capitol. (Video) Highlighting a tweet from Cheney, Carlson said, “So last night, we showed you a trailer for something called ‘Patriot Purge,’ our new investigative documentary on what happened on January 6th, it debuts Monday on Fox Nation. This morning we woke up to this tweet — it comes from Congresswoman Liz Cheney, of suburban Virginia, who for some reason represents the state of Wyoming in the House.”After reading her tweet aloud, Carlson sarcastically added,
President Joe Biden got a 75-minute meeting with Pope Francis on Friday, longer than his two predecessors in the Oval Office.Biden, the nation's second Catholic president, was scheduled to be with the Pontiff for only an hour but got 30 minutes of extra time. In 2017, Francis met then President DonaldTrump for 30 minutes and, in 2014, Francis met with then President Barack Obama for 52 minutes. Biden's meeting with Pope John Paul, in 1980, in contrast, was only 45 minutes. The meeting was 'wonderful,' Biden told reporters afterwards.
Hollywood’s love affair with the Obama’s continues to burn hotly, with former first lady Michelle Obama set to guest star in the final season of ABC’s sitcom Black-ish.Producers of the show announced Thursday that Michelle Obama will appear in the eighth and final season, describing her as a “trailblazer.” No details about her role have been announced. The new season is set to debut in 2022.(Snip) ABC’s Black-ish has repeatedly promoted left-wing politics and far-left positions. Actress Tracee Ellis Ross, who plays the show’s family matriarch, served as a host of last year’s telecast of the Democratic National Convention where she praised Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Sally McAuliffe, daughter of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, stopped campaigning for her father to flash the middle finger in front of a Republican office with a sign for Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin. The New York Post reported on the photo of McAuliffe’s daughter giving the profane gesture that was posted on Instagram.(Tweet/Photo) The photo was taken in front of the Lynchburg Republican City Committee’s (LRCC) office on Wednesday. On that same night, her father held a campaign event in the city of Lynchburg.The McAuliffe campaign declined to comment on the photo,

The Biden administration is considering paying out a whopping $450,000 per person to families separated at the southern border as it tries to settle lawsuits with migrants who say the policy caused them lasting psychological damage. Officials from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering the payments that could total close to $1 million for two people within the same family, people familiar told the Wall Street Journal. The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the separated families, has identified about 5,500 children separated from parents at the border during the course of the Trump-era policy.
There’s been a major shift when it comes to the governor’s race in Virginia over the past two weeks.
As we reported earlier, now the Real Clear Politics average of polls is showing Youngkin ahead of Terry McAuliffe for the first time just a few short days before the election.
That’s in part due to a stunning Fox poll which shows Youngkin up over McAuliffe by eight percent. As Fox notes, that’s basically a complete reversal of the race from two weeks ago. It was 51-46% with McAuliffe up two weeks ago. Now, however, it’s Youngkin up, 53-45% among likely voters.
That’s a stunning move within two weeks
President Biden said that Pope Francis, during their meeting Friday in Vatican City, told him that he should continue to receive communion, amid heightened scrutiny of the Catholic president's pro-abortion policies. The president, following the approximately 90-minute-long meeting, a key part of his trip to Italy for the G20, told reporters details of their discussions.
Biden said that Francis told him that he should keep receiving communion. The president said the pope blessed his rosary, and added that they discussed fighting climate change as part of his Build Back Better agenda.
"We just talked about the fact that he was happy I'm a good Catholic," Biden said.

ROME — The great takeaway from the coronavirus pandemic is a rejection of borders and walls, Pope Francis told the BBC on Friday morning.
“Climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic have exposed our deep vulnerability and raised numerous doubts and concerns about our economic systems and the way we organize our societies,” the pope asserted in a special audio message for the launch of the COP26 Climate Conference. “The most important lesson we can take from these crises is our need to build together, so that there will no longer be any borders, barriers or political walls for us to hide behind,” he declared.

President Biden had dropped everything, including dealing with multiple crises at home, to jet abroad to Europe for summits in Rome, Italy and Glasgow, Scotland, where presumably would be more popular than he currently is at home.But a strange thing happened on Thursday when the Pope suddenly canceled a live broadcast with the U.S. president without providing an explanation. The Washington Post reported on the odd occurrence:The Vatican on Thursday abruptly canceled the planned live broadcast of U.S. President Joe Biden meeting Pope Francis, the latest restriction to media coverage of the Holy See.

GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
South High students are still shaken by what they saw in the lunchroom Wednesday. There are multiple videos showing the moments when one girl apparently attacked another over a cafeteria table.
Another angle shows a student attacking the girl with overhand blows. In another, you can even see the knife on the table.
The other students' just watched the girl get stabbed and they tried to justify their actions later!
"Everybody was mostly shocked that she had a knife during the fight cause I don't think they realized until after," said Andre Robinson, South High student.
Facebook changes company name to Meta

Facebook on Thursday announced that it has changed its company name to Meta.
The name change, which was announced at the Facebook Connect augmented and virtual reality conference, reflects the company’s growing ambitions beyond social media with the metaverse, a classic sci-fi term Facebook, now known as Meta, has adopted to describe its vision for working and playing in a virtual world.
“Today we are seen as a social media company, but in our DNA we are a company that builds technology to connect people, and the metaverse is the next frontier just like social networking was when we got started,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.
A professor at New Jersey’s Rutgers University said she believes that white people are historically “committed to being villains”—and that her unfiltered solution to addressing white supremacy would be to “take them out.” Brittney Cooper, a professor of women’s and gender studies and Africana studies, addressed the history of colonialism during a discussion last month about critical race theory with the Root Institute.(Snip)“White people’s birth rates are going down… because they literally cannot afford to put their children, newer generations, into the middle class… It’s super perverse, and also they kind of deserve it,” she said.
White employees of AT&T have been told to read an article saying that they are racist, are told to confess to their 'white privilege' and acknowledge 'systemic racism,' and must engage with set texts or else they will be penalized in their performance reviews.(Snip)Most employees are not forced to engage with the Listen Understand Act program, but managers at AT&T are now assessed annually on diversity issues—with mandatory participation in programs such as discussion groups, book clubs, mentorship programs, and race reeducation exercises, according to Rufo's source. The source told Rufo that employees are asked to sign a loyalty pledge to 'keep pushing
The Trump effect is gathering steam

As retrospection becomes ever more clear, knowledge of the impact of the Trump presidency has been taking form — especially when compared to the bunglers who came next. Perhaps most importantly, and without obvious intent, he managed to bring out the worst in his enemies. The U.S. will never be the same again.
For starters, let's look at Adam Schiff and Gerald Nadler. Once just off-the-rack hack politicians, now they're cartoons...of sleaze-ball villains. (snip) By provoking his opponents on the left into recklessly exposing themselves as the true villains they are, he has vaccinated the nation from becoming ever more infected with their nonsense.
