A US national holiday commemorating the end of slavery is due to be signed into law by President Biden after it received overwhelming backing. Representatives voted by 415-14 to make 19 June, known as Juneteenth, a federal holiday, while the Senate passed the bill unanimously. Mr Biden is expected to add his signature at the
The month of June has been jam-packed with trans-positive propaganda and media sites competing for the honor of ‘most woke.’ Teen Vogue is no exception, and granted the fact that it is targeted at, well, teens, it’s probably the worst of all. Especially with it’s latest interview with Congresswoman Marie Newman and her transgender son. Representative Marie
Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure, the “American Jobs Plan,” has been touted by the White House as a job-creating engine that will boost the economy into post-COVID overdrive. There’s a problem with calling it the “American Jobs Plan.” It would actually cost the American economy about 100,000 jobs, according to the Tax Foundation. Hundreds of
“Have you ever walked along a shoreline, only to have your footprints washed away? That’s what Alzheimer’s is like,” said famed-basketball coach Pat Summitt. As someone who watched my own grandmother slowly fade away to the disease, I can attest to this feeling.

(CDC/Unsplash) A new research brief from the Institute for Families Studies (IFS) suggests that, judging by several key metrics, children are better off when they grow up in an intact, two-parent family as compared to those raised in single-parent home or in stepfamilies.

The brother of a man tragically killed by gunfire in Austin, Texas, is pleading with the public not to use the incident to push for more gun control legislation, calling the politicization of his brother’s death “deeply disturbing.” What happened?

Despite the fact that they’ve been vaccinated, more than 350 doctors and medical workers in Indonesia have caught COVID-19 and dozens of them have been hospitalized, Reuters reported, which cited officials concerned about the effectiveness of the Sinovac vaccine, which was developed by a Chinese pharmaceutical company. What are the details? The outlet said most
The Biden administration announced on Tuesday that guys who can’t get laid may be terrorist threats due to “involuntary celibate–violent extremism.” That revelation is part of a new crackdown that identifies legions of potential “domestic terrorists” that the feds can castigate and investigate. But there is no reason to expect Biden administration anti-terrorism and anti-extremism
Public education in New York City is far from what it once was, Ian Rowe, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says. “I had a great public school education in New York City kindergarten through 12th grade,” Rowe says. But today, he says, New York City’s public schools aren’t meeting the needs of
Republicans managed to take the wind out of Nancy Pelosi’s sails this week. She was using a procedural trick to fast-track two bills through the House but Republicans didn’t play along. This needs to happen more often. Who says the GOP has no power? Breitbart News reports: TRENDING: Victoria’s Secret Does Away with ‘Angels’ –

The first “murder hornet” discovered in the US this year has been found north of Seattle.

Following a rather contentious formal press conference with reporters in Geneva, President Biden again engaged with the media just before boarding Air Force One and bitterly complained that they weren’t being supportive enough of his foreign policy agenda. The exchange came shortly after Biden’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin that seemed to accomplish little,
(Kruiser’s Permanote Description: This column is intended to be a lighthearted, short-form way to frequently connect with our cherished VIP readers. Sometimes it will be serious.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law Tuesday banning the government from closing places of worship in Texas. Texas’s HB1239 prohibits “any elected or appointed officer, employee, or agent of the state” from closing a “building or grounds where religious activities are conducted.” The newly signed law follows an executive order Abbott issued last year that
(Augustas Cetkauskas/Getty Images) The absurdity of American higher education is on display at the University of Oklahoma. As we read in this Campus Reform story, a player on the women’s volleyball team has been kicked off because she didn’t agree with the leftist ideology being force-fed to the team. So even athletics are now controlled
An Ohio woman went berserk on a pair of McDonald’s employees earlier this week in an incident that was caught on video.

MTP Daily host Chuck Todd and reporter Ben Collins asserted, but didn’t prove, on Tuesday that state legislatures and school boards seeking to ban Critical Race Theory are really interested in teaching an incorrect version of U.S. history at the behest of right-wing propagandists. Todd welcomed Collins by stating that CRT is a pseudo-controversy drummed up by
The Biden administration is devaluing the American experience by allowing illegal immigrants to flock through our southern border. Americans enjoy citizenship either by birth or through patience and hard work. Immigrants who have traveled the painstaking and purposeful journey toward legally earned citizenship hold the most deeply ingrained sentiments of gratitude and patriotism. My mother,

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Wednesday that investors do not need to make major changes to their strategy as a result of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell‘s closely watched news conference. “Arguably, you don’t need to do a thing,” the “Mad Money” host said after parsing through Powell’s comments earlier in the day and the updated
There are moments when dull is good. This was one of them. It was clearly a big and important meeting – the first face-to-face encounter between Joe Biden as US president and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. And with relations back nearing Cold War levels (they had both conceded as much) a tête-à-tête was needed. Given
Closing out his week-long European trip and Wednesday’s Geneva summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Joe Biden snapped at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday for simply wondering “why” he’s “so confident [Putin will] change his behavior.” Not to be left out, Biden also tussled with Fox’s Peter Doocy over China when he, like Collins,
