There are some things in life you can always count on. Death. Taxes. And ABC’s racial comedy black-ish painting white people as ignorant, annoying and racist. Which is racist in and of itself, but someone apparently forgot to tell them that. Tuesday’s episode “What About Gary?” was no different, as main character Dre (Anthony Anderson) attempts

Congress has impeached a former official before, though it’s also dropped plenty of proceedings following a resignation. What now? It wasn’t even close. After hearing the evidence, 94 senators determined he was such a disgrace that they voted to disqualify him from ever holding another federal office. It was just over a decade ago that
Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have fired back against House Democrats’ charge that he incited an insurrection. Two Trump lawyers, David Schoen and Bruce Castor, filed a 14-page counterbrief Tuesday, the same day Democrats’ impeachment managers made an 80-page filing. The Trump brief denies that calling for supporters to “fight” is inciting a riot. It
A few weeks ago, Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney voted with Democrats to impeach President Trump. Now she might pay dearly for that decision. Other Republicans in the House are gearing up to remove her from a leadership role. The Federalist reports: TRENDING: WATCH: Newsmax Host Has Mike Lindell on to Talk About Tech Censorship

(Zohra Bensemra/Reuters) The Baker and Bolton arguments against recognizing the country’s sovereignty over the Western Sahara do not hold water. Near the very end of President Trump’s administration, the United States recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the

The remains of a police officer killed when supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol last month have been taken to the building’s historic rotunda to lie in honour. Brian Sicknick was on duty when rioters, angry over US president Donald Trump’s election loss, stormed the building on 6 January, and was hit in
You could feel the unity surging on Tuesday’s CBS Evening News as the network gave a boost to the vile smears from Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), suggesting the Republican Party was just a bunch of domestic and sexual abusers. On top of that, there was also incredibly lazy reporting from congressional correspondent Kris Van Cleave, who
The Biden administration clearly benefitted from Big Tech censorship in the weeks before the election. Twitter and Facebook actively censored the NY Post’s report on Hunter Biden’s dealings with China, preventing millions of voters from learning true and important information about one of the two contenders for the presidency. Twitter and Facebook have never censored
President Trump offered the nation’s highest civilian honor – the Presidential Medal of Freedom – twice to legendary country music superstar Dolly Parton. She turned his offer down twice. Now it is very likely that she will have to decide if she will accept the honor from President Biden. It’s not what you might have
Recently released data from the US Department of Commerce indicates that GDP declined by 3.5% last year. That is the worst annual economic performance since 1946. All of the decline, however, was in March and April. Because the economy almost completely shut down in those months, the robust V-shaped recovery that followed was not enough to
The BBC is out with a horrific report detailing firsthand accounts of the brutality to which Uighurs are subjected — particularly women. From the report, “Their goal is to destroy everyone”: In separate testimony to the Uyghur Human Rights Project, Sedik said she heard about an electrified stick being inserted into women to torture them
The cremated remains of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick laid in honor in the building’s Rotunda Tuesday night, as the nation mourns and pays tribute to the fallen law enforcement officer and veteran who lost his life due to injuries sustained during a riot on the building last month. Members of Congress will pay
A law in place to help police prevent prostitution on the streets of New York has been repealed because activists said it led to discrimination against transgender people and other minorities. Since 1976, New York Penal Law Section 240.37 criminalized loitering in public spaces if a police officer ascertained that the person loitering was doing
Chris “Fredo” Cuomo’s seething hatred for Republicans was boiling during the Tuesday edition of CNN’s PrimeTime. Between telling his viewers that they all “have to worry about the GOP” going forward because they could become the party of presidential assassins and suggesting they didn’t care about murdered Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, Cuomo was out
There were plenty of good people who worked under the last president. And would his critics really prefer if he was served only by MAGA? Donald Trump no longer calls 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue home but that hasn’t stopped his opponents from seeking revenge. As the administration was winding down in December and January, Trump’s die-hard
Lorrain Taylor lost her twin sons to gun violence in Oakland, California, in 2000. They were just 22 years old and working their way through college when they were killed. “We are here to say, ‘No, no more senseless violence,’” Taylor said at the launch Friday of Voices of Black Mothers United, an initiative of
The official Facebook account for the WikiLeaks Shop has been banned from the platform without explanation. The shop raises money for Julian Assange’s defense fund by selling merch. Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, the person who runs the account said that “it seems they banned us for posting a graphic of one of our Free
The first two weeks of the Biden administration have been dominated by promotion of “racial equity” and eradication of “systemic racism.” Setting aside the fact that structural/institutional/systemic racism is largely a canard, and the administration’s invocation thereof is primarily a tool to expand progressives’ power, there’s one inarguable case of systemic racism that the administration could

Donald Trump’s legal team have dismissed his impeachment over the Capitol riots last month, after Democrats said the former president aimed the crowds “like a cannon” during his speech before the violence. Mr Trump‘s legal team said the Senate has no authority to try the ex-reality star as a private citizen, and that the chamber
Here I thought cop dramas were the only shows under leftist scrutiny. Before it’s even aired, CBS’s new Silence of the Lambs drama Clarice is drawing attention from transgender activists. So much so, the series now has a token transgender character to discuss the “complicated legacy” of the original film. Liberals should just put out
On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump’s lawyers Bruce L. Castor, Jr., and David Schoen released Trump’s answer to the Democrats’ article of impeachment accusing him of “incitement of insurrection.” Trump’s response breaks the Democrats’ impeachment article into eight separate allegations and responds to each claim. In a nutshell, the former president argues that it is

After a few canceled attempts to get Starship SN9 airborne for a 10km launch and landing test, private space company SpaceX looks set to launch the rocket Tuesday afternoon. As of 3:20 p.m. EST all propellant is loaded, the engine chilling has begun and SN9 is just a few minutes from liftoff. [embedded content] Content
Any time your defense of a particular proposal — say, the Biden administration creating a “Reality Czar” who would direct a “centralized task force could coordinate a single, strategic response” by the federal government to fight “disinformation” — requires you to write that the idea “sounds a little dystopian, I’ll grant. But let’s hear them
Democratic lawmakers are reportedly exploring the possibility of expanding the number of federal district court judgeships in order to roll back former President Donald Trump’s judicial legacy. What’s the background? Trump’s greatest presidential legacy may be the influence he wielded over the federal judiciary. During his presidency, Trump was responsible for appointing 174 federal district
San Francisco’s public schools have been making some pretty negative national headlines of late: And now the district’s Arts Department is getting into the act and taking the radical step of dropping its acronym name “VAPA” — which stands for Visual and Performing Arts — and changing it altogether, KGO-TV reported. ‘Acronyms are a symptom
For her “Roll the tape” segment on her Tuesday afternoon show, CNN Newsroom host Brianna Keilar viciously went after Republican Senator Ted Cruz in an over five-minute-long attack. It seems nothing was out of bounds, as the journalist alluded Cruz had blood on his hands, before mocking his podcast’s production. Keilar even used the creepy
Burke warned us this might happen. No, not Tom Brady…although the 18th-century Anglo-Irish statesman’s penchant for the ancient and tried would have likely led him to predict that the “GOAT” was capable of another Super Bowl run. Rather, I’m talking about the increasing subjugation of America’s dominant cultural and political institutions to a suffocating wokeism.
