After removing the statue of a famed Revolutionary War hero in 2021, the University of Virginia (UVA) plans to replace it with a park that will serve as a de facto land acknowledgement to an Indian tribe, The Federalist has learned. The Federalist obtained the school’s plans for the site that once held the statue of Brigadier General George Rogers Clark, which indicate that the new park will celebrate “the Virginia landscape and Indigenous stewardship practices.” “The politicization of the university has reached a level of absurdity as it has gleefully destroyed statues of Virginians,” Ann H.

We lived in nearby Lynchburg VA where Daughter #1 graduated from Sweet Briar College in Amhurst VA, down Route 29 from UVW in Charlottesville. She would muck stalls each morning before classes and then learned to ride Dressage afternoons. Her dad had left us, and horses took up that void in her life, [thankfully not liquor or drugs]. Only thing good about UVA were their excellent Urgent Care doctors. Is anyone surprised that college degrees from some schools are worthless? Hillsdale College has free on-line courses, so parents, save your $$ and let your kids choose their own free classes, and maybe an internship somewhere they think they might like to work, like for Elon!? Hopefully they will learn more. TBIYTC

I have had it straight from the source. Most tribal members want to be called by the name of the tribe: "Here's Mary she is a Navajo. Here's William he is a Cherokee." If you don't know the name of the person's tribe, just say American Indian. They all came here from Asia anyway.

Indiana’s attorney general took two major enforcement actions this week targeting potential migrant trafficking. This week, Todd Rokita’s office sent subpoenas to several Indiana entities, including Fort Wayne, the state’s second-largest city; Amazon; and Catholic Charities. “I believe these entities have vital information to root out labor trafficking right here,” Rokita said in a press conference at the Allen County courthouse Nov. 13. His office declined to disclose the subpoena contents beyond mentioning business, financial, and client records and relationships, saying confidentiality is legally required because subpoenas do not accuse recipients of wrongdoing but solely seek information.

In an effort to further create friction and division amid the base of support for President Trump, emails previously released to congress are resurfacing – including emails between Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama’s former White House Counsel, and Jeffrey Epstein. The UniParty players are pushing this narrative hard. However, in fact, this is an old story going back to 2023 when the connections between then CIA Director William Burns, Kathryn Ruemmler and Jeffrey Epstein were previously released to the public {SEE HERE}. However, amid the new effort to stir up friction, the Ruemmler-Epstein emails are being talked about again. Example Below:

The Justice Department on Thursday sued to block new congressional district boundaries approved by California voters last week, joining a court battle that could help determine which party wins control of the U.S. House in 2026. The complaint filed in California federal court targets the new congressional map pushed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in response to a similar Republican-led effort in Texas backed by President Donald Trump. It sets the stage for a high-stakes legal and political fight between the Republican administration and the Democratic governor, who’s seen as a likely 2028 presidential contender. “California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and

Less than five months ago, Associate Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas warned that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA, limiting lower courts’ use of nationwide injunctions, failed to address loopholes open to abuse by left-wing activists and judges.(snip)g, the two senior justices have been proven right. (snip Yale Law School Professor E. Garrett West praised the Supreme Court’s CASA decision as “a brilliant vindication of the formalist argument that says universal injunctions are totally impermissible” under America’s constitutional framework.

Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal.

A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates. When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering: Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.

President Donald Trump announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "ranting lunatic" and accusing the Georgia Republican of "complaining" instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s "record achievements." The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections. Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."

While some people are looking to New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani to kiss their boo-boo and make it better, I think it is safe to say that most folks can recognize an underqualified empty suit when they see one. Mamdani's candidacy was successful due to a particular set of circumstances, coupled with outrageous promises to address issues ranging from unaffordable housing to food prices, as well as providing free bus and subway travel by executive fiat. At first blush, this looks like Lefitst Politics 101: promise the lumpenproletariat free stuff. However, a closer look reveals that we may be dealing with a man who is simply unmoored from reality.

The creeping transformation of Western cities under demographic and cultural pressures has long been a cautionary tale in Europe, particularly in the UK, where London—once a beacon of Enlightenment values (and more importantly biblical truths) — has earned the moniker “Londonistan” for its visible embrace of parallel Islamic societies. With 15% of its population now Muslim, the city features halal-dominated high streets and Friday prayer congregations that overwhelm urban traffic. Across the Atlantic, Texas stands at a similar crossroads, its Muslim population surging amid rapid urbanization in hubs like Dallas and Houston. While Europe’s trajectory offers stark parallels—accelerated by lax policies and demographic shifts—Texas still holds unique tools,

Indiana voters should be furious. In a state Trump carried by 19 points, where Republicans hold a supermajority in both chambers, redistricting should have been a slam dunk to secure the 2026 midterms. Instead, five weak-kneed RINOs tried to sabotage the redistricting vote, collapse the GOP strategy, and block a legitimate effort to strengthen Indiana’s congressional delegation against the Democrats’ national gerrymandering machine. According to the AP, Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced Friday that the chamber will not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting, after months of pressure from President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and even Gov. Mike Braun. Why? Because these so-called Republicans refused to support it.
