Meet the Conservative Black Scholar Standing
Up to BLM Dogma

On October 15th, I had the privilege of interviewing Dr Carol Swain ahead of her appearance at the Cambridge University Union, where she opposed the motion: ‘This House Believes Black Lives Matter’s Intentions Were More Important Than Its Methods.’ Dr Swain is one of America’s most respected conservative scholars – a woman whose life embodies grit, faith and a fearless commitment to truth. Born in rural Virginia in 1954, the second of 12 children, she grew up in abject poverty, left school early, married at 16 and became a mother at 17. Yet against all odds, she earned five university degrees while working full-time and raising a family,

One of Curtis Silwa’s staunchest supporters in the orthodox Jewish community is dropping the Republican and instead backing ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race against front-runner Zohran Mamdani.
Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind – who formerly represented the heavily orthodox Borough Park and Midwood as a state Assemblyman from 1983 to 2018 – said he flipped because Cuomo offered a better chance at stopping Mamdani, the Democratic nominee.
“I have nothing but good things to say about Curtis. But at the end of the day it’s very clear that Curtis can’t win,” Hikind told The Post of the red-beret wearing founder of the vigilante Guardian Angels.
According to a report by Israel's KAN News, Hamas has already selected half of the technocratic government's members, including figures sympathetic to the terror group, while the Palestinian Authority, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, chose the other half. Mediators, including Egypt, presented the full list to Hamas to ensure its approval, a move that will allow the terror group to maintain influence in the Gaza Strip after the war.
The terrorists who launched the war by committing the worst crime against Jews since the Holocaust and who brought death and destruction on their own people should not be allowed to have a say in the future governance of the coastal enclave.
The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 is actually a deceased distant cousin, he clarified Monday.
The socialist mayoral front-runner made the revelation during a press conference after critics seized on his story, sharing photos on social media of an aunt of his without a hijab.
“I was speaking about Zehra fuhi, my father’s cousin, who passed away a few years ago,” Mamdani told reporters. Fuhi means paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi.
The race for New York City mayor has tightened considerably — with ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo cutting front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s lead in half from a month ago, according to a new poll.
Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, now leads Cuomo, running as an independent, just 44% to 34% among the likely Big Apple voters, the Suffolk University survey found. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa is in third place with 11% support.
But Mamdani had a 20-point lead over Cuomo in Suffolk University’s prior poll conducted in September. It’s Suffolk’s first survey since Mayor Eric Adams completely dropped his re-election bid and endorsed Cuomo.
A new report is revealing how much trouble the DNC is in terms of money.
The report revealed some of what the DNC is hearing from its donors, and it's not good.
They ultimately found someone to host, but got less than they expected.
That's brutal. And it tells you what they think about Kamala Harris, at least at this point. She's dropping hints she may run, but I don't think she will find an encouraging reception. That may explain why Democrats have so much less in the bank than Republicans. There's also a concern about the radicals, and if the DNC is focused in the right direction.
Maria Corina Machado, opposition leader in Venezuela, was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the war on drugs and the corruption in Venezuela under Maduro.
The video opens with a clip of President Trump warning drug cartels that they will be killed for bringing drugs into the United States.
“President Trump with a stern warning to the drug cartels during a round table meeting with the Homeland Security taskforce on Thursday,” Bartiromo said.
“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered the USS Gerald Ford and its strike group to the waters off of South America-
As we head into Wednesday’s Dutch elections, once again right-wing PVV leader Geert Wilders is leading the opinion polls, as he did last time.
The last vote was held on 22 November 2023, and the PVV got the most votes with 23.49% of the vote.
However, the leader of the Globalist establishment parties enacted a ‘firewall’ against Wilders, refusing to enter into coalition with him.

So, it took an unbelievable 176 days to form a coalition, and the Prime Minister had to be former Intel Chief Dick Schoof.
Here we go.
Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday issued an ominous warning to Venezuela’s Maduro.
Lindsey Graham appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and told host Margaret Brennan that he doesn’t believe Maduro will stay around much longer.
Margaret Brennan asked Lindsey Graham about the US potentially expanding military operations inside Venezuela after the Pentagon ordered the deployment of USS Gerald Ford to the Caribbean Sea to “combat drug trafficking.”
“It’s time for Maduro to go. I hope Maduro would leave peacefully, but I don’t think he’s going to stay around much longer,” Lindsey Graham casually said.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely eviscerated ABC host Martha Raddatz’s attempt to peddle the tired Democrat narrative on the ongoing Schumer shutdown.
During an interview on This Week, Raddatz pressed Bessent with a sob story about suffering federal employees hitting food banks, pressing Bessent on whether the President should bother meeting with Democrats again.
But Bessent wasn’t having any of it. He fired back with unassailable facts, reminding Americans who’s really holding the nation hostage.
When I saw the World Bank quietly bump China’s 2025 growth projection to 4.8 percent (up from 4.0), I raised an eyebrow—not because Beijing can’t engineer a rebound in the short run, but because the narrative behind the number is riddled with smoke, mirrors, and national ambitions disguised as technocratic optimism.
Let’s be clear: China’s leadership is always playing two simultaneous games. One is real—rebuilding factories, pushing infrastructure, and subtler consumer stimulus. The other is symbolic—sending the world a message that, despite internal tensions, debt bubbles, and demographic drag, it remains the engine of global growth. The World Bank’s new forecast plays right into that second game.
When President Trump convinced AstraZeneca (on October 10) and Pfizer (on September 30) to lower their Medicare and Medicaid prices to match those charged in other countries, it was a major victory for American consumers. For decades, Americans have paid the highest prescription drug prices in the world, effectively subsidizing other nations’ cheaper costs. Trump finally forced Big Pharma to play fair.
Even billionaire Mark Cuban had to admit it was a win. “Look at the Pfizer stock price,” he told The Washington Reporter. “It went up. This can be a positive for sure.” But in the very next breath,
One of the most popular and unintentionally hilarious bands in rock’s post-grunge, nu-metal era (the mid-to-late 1990s) was Rage Against the Machine, a Los Angeles-based quartet that was formed in 1991 and became globally famous in 1995 and 1996. The band—fronted by lead singer Zack de la Rocha and renowned guitarist Tom Morello—was popular because it was loud, funky, and nonconformist. It was unintentionally hilarious because it was “nonconformist” in the most conformist ways possible while rebelling against a peaceful and prosperous nation, largely lacking in major conflicts.
The decade of the 1990s, you may recall, was something of a golden era in American history.

Karine Jean-Pierre's book tour is shaping up to be an absolute train wreck, and honestly, she has no one to blame but herself. The former White House press secretary is getting destroyed for her role in one of the most brazen attempted cover-ups in presidential history: hiding Joe Biden's obvious mental and physical decline from the American people. Last week, CNN called her out, and she was clearly unprepared, and now, MSNBC of all places joined in.
And once again, she did not handle it well.
Let’s rewind a bit.

It is by now blindingly obvious to any rational observer of American politics that the Democratic Party is circling the drain. Depending on which poll you believe, its favorability rating among U.S. adults is somewhere between 23 percent (CNBC) and 34 percent (CBS). Nor is it difficult to divine what has led to this dismal state of affairs — the party has lurched so far to the left that most of its iconic leaders would be regarded as too conservative to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
A group of left-wing congresswomen enjoyed some fun in the sun during a glitzy junket to the U.S. Virgin Islands in June—with donors picking up the check—records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.
Among the attendees of the "Women's Retreat Weekend" at the Westin St. Thomas Beach were OG squad members like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), as well as rising progressive stars like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas). A flyer for the event also shows Reps. Yvette Clarke (D., N.Y.), Valerie Foushee (D., N.C.), Lucy McBath (D., Ga.), and Emilia Sykes (D., Ohio) as attendees, though representatives for Foushee told
The case of 18-year-old Jesse Mack Butler has ignited anger and accusations of systemic failure after a “sweetheart plea deal” allowed a young man facing what could have been nearly 80 years behind bars to avoid serious prison time.
In early 2024, Butler, then 17 and a student at Stillwater Public Schools, was charged with 11 counts, including rape, attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, strangulation, and domestic assault/battery by strangulation, KJRH reported.
The allegations spanned two high-school girlfriends, and court documents say one victim was left near death after being choked;

For two generations, Bob’s family didn’t just work for FedEx; they were a part of the Collierville community that the company built. His father, a Collierville native, retired as a respected FedEx pilot. Bob followed him into the company, securing a white-collar technical role and the promise of the same stable, prosperous life in the town Parade magazine once named “Best Main Street” in America.
He remembers a different Collierville. A town of just over 10,000, where kids left their bikes unlocked outside the gas station and a trip to the store always meant running into someone you knew. “It was the type of community where…

There’s been a lot of talk in recent weeks about shrinking the federal government workforce. Is this something Americans want? Not necessarily. The latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows that most Americans think the federal workforce should either be larger or the same size.
This month’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, asked 1,459 participants: “Overall, do you think the federal workforce today is: 1) too large and should be reduced; 2) too small and should be expanded; 3) about the right size; and 4) Not sure.”
The responses were nearly evenly split
A college financial aid advisor allegedly strangled his girlfriend before setting fire to their upstate New York home while she and their newborn baby were inside, according to authorities and reports.
Kidane Haile, 30, was indicted Thursday after a horrific scene unfolded at 8:35 a.m. on Oct. 18 when Buffalo firefighters responded to a blaze at an apartment on Norwood Avenue, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Inside the home, first responders found Haile’s girlfriend, 29-year-old Kathleen “Katie” Carrig, and their 4-day-old son, Noah, unresponsive. Both the mother and son were pronounced dead on the scene, prosecutors said.
Haile strangled Carrig before setting the house ablaze, prosecutors alleged.
AI Is Not Your Friend

Half of Americans are lonely and isolated—and artificial intelligence is stepping into the void.
Sam Altman just announced that OpenAI will soon provide erotica for sexually lonely adults. Mark Zuckerberg envisions a future where solitary people enjoy AI friends. According to the Harvard Business Review, the top uses for large language models are therapy and companionship.
It’s easy to see why this is happening. AI is always available, endlessly patient, and unfailingly agreeable. Millions now pour their secrets into silicon confidants, comforted by algorithms that respond with affirmation and tact. But what masquerades as friendship is, in fact, a dangerous substitute. AI therapy and friendship burrow us deeper into

A popular UFO-reporting app has recorded thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) near US waterways — phenomena which high-ranking US Navy officials warn could pose a threat to national security.
Enigma, which touts itself as the “largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,” claims it has received reports on over 30,000 Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena since launching in late 2022.
But the sightings haven’t been limited to the skies, with reports also coming in about strange objects rising from the depths of the sea, or plunging into the water without so much as a splash.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she'd quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator. Crockett also didn't reveal the stock holdings once she got to Washington in 2023.
The far-left firebrand's impressive financial portfolio—according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request—clashes with her image as an eco-warrior and beacon of progressivism. Further, Crockett, a self-described civil rights attorney, was an active stakeholder in the cannabis business—seeking unsuccessfully to open marijuana dispensaries in Ohio—even as she represented,
