After dodging a bullet, Donald Trump was reelected president. In a larger sense, the entire nation dodged a bullet. The Democrats were soundly defeated, losing not only the presidency, but also the House and the Senate. Their sinister authoritarian, internationalist, socialist vision, with its wholehearted embrace of madness, deviance, and perversion, has been thoroughly rejected. And while it’s certainly a time for celebration, we aren’t out of the woods yet. The left hasn’t given up. In fact, aside from their wailing and hysteria over Trump’s victory, many of their leading figures have been eerily quiet, and that can mean only one thing: they’re up to something,

"Their sinister authoritarian, internationalist, socialist vision, with its wholehearted embrace of madness, deviance, and perversion, has been thoroughly rejected. " Yeah.... but we could also say a pendulum 'thoroughly rejects' one side of its arc every time it swings to the other. (And it keeps oscillating between the opposite extremes, kind of like our fickle electorate.

HeelZup was a singularly bad candidate. But all the Leftist Totalitarian machinery is still in place. We won this round, but there is a long way to go, and the Evil Ones are not giving up. They Never give up. We need to be Eternally Vigilant.

#3 is right. One of the worst candidates in US history and her VEEP choice certainly didn't help. Add in the last 4 years of a dumpster fire by Biden and Harris and it's a wonder they didn't get waxed even worse.

Should the International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court (ICC), as encouraged by prosecutor Karim Khan, propagated the blood libel that Israel is attacking Palestinian civilians. Khan knows or should know that Israel has not only refrained from targeting civilians, but has taken extraordinary measures to the extent of putting its own soldiers at risk to avoid harming them. We also need to ask why South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice to prosecute Israel for genocide, another blood libel from a backward Third World country with its own long litany of human rights violations including the racist murder of Amy Biehl and the necklacing of Winnie Mandela's political opponents.

Jay Bhattacharya has been nominated by President Trump to head the National Institutes of Health. During the Covid regime, Dr. Bhattacharya was relegated to the “fringe” by the likes of former NIH head Francis Collins and his NIAID colleague Anthony “fallacious” Fauci. John Tierney observes at City Journal that Jay-B is the doctor who came in from the fringe: "Four years ago, Jay Bhattacharya was ostracized by his colleagues at Stanford and censored on social media platforms thanks to a campaign against him by the public-health establishment. The director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, sent an email to another NIH official, Anthony Fauci, urging a “quick and devastating

Several journalists of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have resigned from the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) after the union directed its members to dress differently for a “Day of Action for Palestine.” Jewish News reported that the NUJ “distributed directives from the Trades Union Congress (TUC),” which asked members to “wear something red, green, black or a Palestinian keffiyeh,” the traditional Middle Eastern headscarf that has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance to Israel. The BBC journalists were also encouraged to share photos of their outfits online, to “visibly show solidarity” with the Palestinian cause. The move caused a backlash among some of the NUJ's journalists,

Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner has deleted his X / Twitter account in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory. His exit marks the end of an era for Reiner who had spent years using the platform to spread false claims and wild accusations aimed at Trump and his supporters — including repeatedly smearing them as white nationalists. Rob Reiner’s X account, which boasted 2.3 million followers, was no longer accessible as of Thursday, with the platform returning a message that the account “doesn’t exist.” As one of Hollywood’s most reliable Democrat fundraisers and cheerleaders, Reiner used his X account to champion establishment party politicians —

California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a list of suggestions Nov. 26 for shoppers to avoid scams during the holiday season and requested consumers file reports about department stores that lack gender-neutral children’s sections. State law, established by the passage of Assembly Bill 1084 in 2021, which took effect at the beginning of 2024, requires department stores with at least 500 employees across California locations to offer children’s sections that do not separate items based on gender. “By requiring large retailers to maintain a gender-neutral section, AB 1084 makes it more difficult for these retailers to engage in gender-based pricing discrimination and reduces the imposition of gender stereotypes on children,”

In a sea of redundant, woke garbage, Taylor Sheridan continues to produce shows with a refreshingly honest and fresh direction. From "Yellowstone" to "Tulsa King," he's not afraid to break the traditional mores dictated by Hollywood, and it's paid dividends with viewership. His latest endeavor, "Landman," centers on the oil industry and contrasts the lives of Texas-based tycoons and workers, and one clip is already going viral. Billy Bob Thorton, who plays "Tommy Norris" in the show, lays out the reality of wind turbines and the human need for fossil fuels in a way that will have you fist-pumping.

Democrats will learn nothing from their electoral drubbing. If they were capable of self-reflection and intellectual growth, they would not need “safe spaces” or social media platforms dedicated to mass censorship. When you are so afraid of dissent that you feel psychologically compelled to label all contrary opinions as “hate speech,” you are not a fully functioning adult willing to process new information and adapt accordingly. You are a toddler whose reflexive instinct is to cry, scream, and call everyone a “poopy head” when you don’t get your way. We have seen the “poopy head” routine play out on cable television for weeks. Democrat operatives tell

Trump’s electoral victory has advanced the demise of MSNBC and CNN for good reason. The fall of NBC, ABC, and CBS should follow. Each of these so-called news outlets has betrayed their viewers for as long as they have been on the air. They consistently misled their viewers day after day to the point that Trump’s victory was a major shock to their systems. Those blinkered viewers sadly believed what those networks told them -- that Trump could not possibly win, that Harris would win in a landslide. They misled their viewers so egregiously that those who only watched those outlets were understandably shocked by Trump’s win.

In a recent news, we learned that the murderous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) is now in 16 states in the U.S., committing crimes openly and brazenly. These gang members’ many horrific acts include robbery and murder, gang rape, assaults, shakedowns, burying people alive, and even beheadings and public executions. They are reputed to be more violent than the notorious Salvadoran gang MS-13. TdA first gained notoriety on August 18, when a video showed gang members wandering through an Aurora, Colorado apartment building, brandishing guns, knocking on doors, even breaking off locks and entering apartments unbidden. In this instance, it appears they were shaking down residents

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. For “balance,” the ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. The ICC says the Israeli leaders are guilty of “crimes against humanity” in connection with the war started by Gaza. The ICC is a bad joke, but sadly, there are countries that take it seriously: Binyamin Netanyahu faces the prospect of arrest if he travels to the UK after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his detention for war crimes in Gaza. The prime minister’s official spokesman said today that the government respected the ICC

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan during a recent conversation with journalist Bari Weiss made some startling revelations. Noonan calls herself a conservative and was once a speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan. But like most mainstream conservative commentators of that era, Noonan abandoned both her conservative and journalistic principles to devolve into a rabid hater of President Trump. She believed the hoaxes against President Trump, particularly the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. When she was proven wrong, instead of accepting her mistake, she claimed she didn’t “know what to thi

A Democrat state lawmaker in New York is calling for a coalition of northeast states to secede from the Union and join Canada because President-elect Donald Trump is returning to the White House. State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-28), who is also floating a scheme to withhold upwards of $300 billion in federal taxes, defended her ideas in a conversation with Politico. “It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box,” Kreuger, chairwoman of the Senate Finance Committee, told the outlet. In September, Kreuger spoke with City and State New York.com about a four-state secession from the union if Trump won, where New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut would join Canada:

An Ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory “human rights” training after it refused to celebrate Pride Month. Emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of Ontario, along the border with Minnesota. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.” The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.

President Joe Biden's administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of those as young as 18. A senior Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private consultations, said Wednesday that the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to expand the pool of fighting-age men available to help a badly outnumbered Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia.

More than 165 international constitutions include gender equality, and ours should, too. In January 2020, Virginia ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, becoming the final state needed to add about 170 million women and girls to our Constitution. All constitutional requirements have been met, according to the American Bar Association. And yet. For the past four years, America has been in a constitutional crisis. In 2020, for the first time in our nation’s history, publication of a fully ratified amendment was stopped by the executive branch. Why is the ratified ERA still not added to the Constitution?

He better watch out. Footage of a heated confrontation between customers apparently taken inside a Costco emerged the day before Thanksgiving — sparking online debate about naughty shopper behavior as gift-buying season gets underway. An aggravated man rammed a woman’s shopping cart with his own as he impatiently tried to push through a sea of shoppers in an aisle, according to a video a fellow customer posted on a Reddit Costco thread, which is not affiliated with the mega-chain store. Staring down the logjam, the man, who had a small dog with him, talked about people needing to get out before he went cart-to-cart with the woman, according to the video.

What is happening in Britain today could all too easily happen here, and that’s why every American should note the rising tide of antisemitism there, and particularly its frankly and unapologetically menacing edge. GB News reported Wednesday that “leaflets with the writing ‘every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered’ were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in north London.” The message itself was bad enough, but the fact that it has gotten so little attention was a disquieting indication of how much antisemitism has already become normalized amidst the left’s relentless propaganda campaign to isolate and demonize Israel

Since January 2023, one month after he left the federal government, $15 million in tax dollars have been spent on security services for Fauci, including a fully staffed U.S. Marshals security detail, according to an OpenTheBooks.com investigation.
