Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders quietly funneled $200,000 from his campaign's coffers to his wife's nonprofit institute, which appears to do very little work and pays six figures' worth of compensation to her son, Fox News Digital has found. The independent senator's committee cut two $100,000 checks to the Sanders Institute for reported charitable contributions in January and March, its Federal Election Commission records show. The expenditures are the largest from the Sanders campaign to any entity this election cycle. The senator's wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the Sanders Institute in 2017 to act as a think tank to promote progressive voices, The Washington Post wrote at its launch.

JOHNNY HARDWICK, THE Texan soul of the long-running animated sitcom King of the Hill — for which he voiced the eccentric, paranoid, chain-smoking neighbor Dale Gribble — died Tuesday at his home in Austin. He was 64 years old. (snip) But to viewers, Hardwick was beloved as the fan-favorite Gribble, an exterminator living next door to the titular Hill family who exasperates his stodgy friend Hank Hill with an endless stream of conspiracy theories and harebrained schemes. No matter how often his ideas backfired, Gribble could usually be counted on to maintain his unwarranted confidence as he lit up yet another cigarette,
The name Karen has continued to fall in popularity, with the moniker dropping more than 100 spots on the list of popular baby names in 2020.
According to data from the Social Security Administration, the name, which has become frequently associated with people, especially white women, who are entitled, demanding, or reliant on their white privilege, fell 171 spots on the popularity list from 2019 to 2020.
As a result, the name found itself placed 831st place last year, with just 325 babies named Karen in 2020, a decrease from the 439 children given the name the year prior.
Disney may as well have just told Dylan Mulvaney to hold ALL its Bud Light and set itself on fire.
In what may go down as the creepiest partnership in marketing history, the Walt Disney Co. has partnered with a biological “gender fluid” adult man to market clothing for little girls.
TikTok influencer Seann Altmann claims “Minnie is ME” as he dons a cutesy dress, a big bow, and bright red lipstick to promote Disney Style, a fashion division of the Walt Disney Co. “I fit right in with Mickey and his friends!”
Kentucky Board of Nursing retracts ‘implicit
bias’ training requirement after media coverage 3 replies
bias’ training requirement after media coverage 3 replies
A report from the Washington Examiner on July 28 revealed that the Kentucky Board of Nursing had issued a requirement for licensed nurses to complete an “implicit bias” training, based on a capture of the Board’s website in August 2022.
The training included “highly racialized content” that sources told the Examiner had “very little to do with nursing.” (snip) Two days after the Examiner published its report, the KBN edited its homepage (compare July 27 to July 28) to reflect that the implicit bias training was no longer mandatory.
The Kentucky requirements continue down a long-established trend of leftist “training” sessions in post-secondary education.
Bombshell new bank records reveal that Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina gave millions to Biden-connected shell companies after dining with Hunter and then-Vice President Joe, and was notably not on a list of sanctioned Kremlin allies after the invasion of Ukraine. In the spring of 2014, Baturina joined Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and a handful of his business partners - including Devon Archer and Kazakh oligarchs Kenes Rakishev and Karim Massimov - for dinner at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C.
Archer confirmed that Joe was present long enough to eat dinner with the group.
A federal judge ordered three Southwest Airlines attorneys to attend “religious liberty training” from the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal advocacy group well known for its high-profile defense of conservative causes.
Naturally, left wing heads exploded all across the country. You can’t do that! Only left-wing judges can demand that right-wing fascists attend ‘sensitivity training’ and other bogus seminars.
More than that, the left immediately leapt on the charge that ADF was a “hate group” because the Southern Poverty Law Center says so. Since they’ve never been wrong, it must be so. Well, almost never.

The Walt Disney Company continues to hemorrhage money on its streaming services, losing hundreds of millions of dollars in the most recent quarter as it plans to pass some of that pain to consumers by once again jacking up prices on Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+.
Disney reported its streaming businesses lost $512 million for the fiscal third quarter, marking an improvement from the same period last year when it lost more than $1 billion. CEO Bob Iger is in the midst of reining in the company’s profligate spending habits in the face of plunging profitability, recently laying off an unprecedented 7000 workers worldwide.
Journalist Andy Ngo was chased, beaten, and chased again when he burst into a downtown Portland, Ore., hotel in May 2021 to get away from his black-bloc-clad Antifa attackers. (snip)
On Tuesday, a Portland jury decided that two key alleged Antifa conspirators whose cases went to trial were not civilly liable for Ngo’s injuries, both physical and otherwise. The trial was marred by intimidation tactics — not just from the attackers but from their attorney who declared to the unidentified jury members, “I am Antifa” and “I will remember each one of your faces.” We’re talking Godfather stuff here.
Two years after a suicide bombing in Kabul took the lives of 13 American service members during the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the mother of 20-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola, who was killed in the attack, blasted the president for falsely claiming to “know how” it felt to lose a child in combat. (snip) Of all people, the president who at least nominally commands our troops should recognize that service members and their families, not he, are the heroes of their sacrifices. Yet President Biden has a disgusting habit of making moments when he should be offering comfort and gratitude to those selfless Americans about himself instead.
America First Legal (AFL), a legal activist group, sued the Target Corporation and its board of directors on behalf of a Target shareholder, alleging the company misled shareholders and lost investors billions, according to a new lawsuit. (snip) The lawsuit alleges that Target’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Environmental, Social and Governance policies (ESG) weren’t designed to benefit all shareholders and only benefited an ideological agenda, ignoring past DEI-related company failures such as Bud Light’s loss in sales due to hiring an LGBTQ ambassador.
Paramount Global — the parent company of CBS, Paramount Studios, PlutoTV, and the Jason Aldean-canceling CMT — continued to see red ink flow from its streaming entertainment services, which collectively lost $424 million for the most recent quarter. (snip) The cratering ad market is creating an existential crisis for Hollywood media giants, which have traditionally relied on revenue from their TV networks to pump up corporate profits. However, continued cord cutting by tens of millions of Americans is gutting the industry and throwing Hollywood into an existential crisis.

Britain slept in the 1930s as an inevitable war with Hitler loomed.
A lonely Winston Churchill had only a few courageous partners to oppose the appeasement and incompetence of his conservative colleague Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
One of the most stalwart truth-tellers was a now little remembered politico and public servant Leo Amery, a polymath and conservative member of Parliament.
Yet in two iconic moments of outrage against the Chamberlain government’s temporizing, Amery galvanized Britain and helped end the government’s disastrous policies.
Brett Baier is not qualified to moderate the Republican debate on August 23 in Milwaukee. Mr. Baier had a much-publicised interview with President Trump a month ago. This interview amply demonstrated Baier’s antipathy towards the President. Most of the time he appeared to be cordial towards the President, however, when Trump brought up the topic of the stolen election, Baier became abusively hostile and interrupted his guest incessantly and would not let the President talk.
Right after the election the charges of fraud surfaced, and at every opportunity, the Republicans were asked by the media and Democrats if the election was stolen
Local Hawaiians have called upon some of Maui’s resident billionaire class to help them as wildfires devastate areas of the island beyond recognition.
Jeff Bezos, Oprah, and Larry Ellison represent some of the biggest names to have homes on the island paradise along with Clint Eastwood, Steven Tyler, and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mack. Since the outbreak of the devastating fire on Tuesday, which has claimed over 50 lives while leaving hundreds homeless, residents have been openly asking for help. (Video) Lauren Sanchez, the fiancée of Jeff Bezos, who owns a $78 million property on Maui, issued a statement on her social media in which she called the tragedy “heartbreaking”
A new high-speed railway system inspired by Japanese bullet trains could someday carry commuters between Houston and Dallas in under 90 minutes. Announced on Wednesday, the partnership between Amtrak and a company called Texas Central aims to connect the two cities by train, spanning roughly 240 miles at speeds upwards of 205 mph.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), the embattled senior senator from the Mountain State, says he’s “thinking seriously” about leaving the Democratic Party as he mulls his political future. Mr. Manchin, the former governor of West Virginia, has occupied his seat in the Senate since 2010, when he was elected to fill the vacancy left by the death of Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W. Va.). Even as his state shifted further and further into the arms of the Republican Party, Mr. Manchin held onto his seat by presenting himself as a “conservative Democrat” and a moderate voice among his party as it moved further to the left.
Cristina Laila reported Wednesday that 75-year-old Utah man and Trump supporter Craig Robertson was shot and killed early Wednesday morning during an FBI raid.
According to reports, Robertson was facing three counts after posting threats to Joe Biden: Interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat. Robertson allegedly threatened to kill Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and officials prosecuting Trump in a series of social media posts.
Now new details including video from the incident have emerged which cast doubt on how much of a threat he actually posed.
A vigilant neighbor shot this 23-second clip in the moments leading up to Robertson’s death.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been named special counsel so that he can continue his investigation into alleged influence-peddling by President Biden’s son Hunter free from standard Justice Department oversight.
has been named special counsel designated to investigate
Weiss will be overseeing an “ongoing investigation,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) added in a statement, “as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation.”
Weiss was nominated in 2017 by then-President Donald Trump.
Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” anchor Jake Tapper told House Oversight and Accountability Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) that he has not seen evidence President Joe Biden did anything illegal related to his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Tapper said, “So let’s pause it for the sake of argument that Hunter Biden is sleazy, and the president’s relatives tried to profit off the Biden family brand, something CNN has reported on. What’s new in this memo?” Comer said, “Well before we released the memo, we interviewed Devon Archer,
Mayor Eric Adams issued a dire warning to President Biden, cautioning that the lack of federal funding to help the migrant crisis will eventually “decimate” the Big Apple — which serves as the “economic engine” of the country.
Adams slammed border states for creating a “funnel” to New York on “CBS Mornings” Thursday, saying, “New York City is the economic engine of this entire state and country. If you decimate this city, you’re going to decimate the foundation of what’s happening.” That foundation finally began to crumble earlier this month as dozens of migrants were left sleeping on the streets of Midtown outside the intake center at the Roosevelt Hotel
Hawaii had the world's fanciest natural disaster warning system on the planet. It also had an ongoing firebug problem, and recent academic study warning that the place was very vulnerable to fire catastrophes.
Somehow, none of that figured in the government's fire plan. The firebug is still out there. The conditions created for big fires, such as the proliferation of non-native grasses, remain on Maui. And the fancy emergency warning system somehow didn't work.
Never mind any of that: Its governor says the problem is global warming.
