I learned I was an adopted kid in 1978, the year I turned 5. Mom read “The Chosen Baby” by Valentina Wasson to my older sister and me (she is also adopted) every night until we outgrew bedtime stories. Our young minds were encoded with the message: You’re the chosen ones; you’re the cool kids.

After CNN was found liable for defamation on Friday, NBC host Tom Llamas brought on NPR media reporter David Folkenflik to survey the damages on Tom Llamas Now on the NBC News Now streaming channel. Llamas showed words from the CNN text exchanges were Young is referred to with “We’re gonna nail this mf—er” and

Not so long ago, mocking “snowflakes” felt like a national pastime. Safe spaces, trigger warnings, emotional support peacocks — they seemed like punch lines, symbols of a fragile generation allergic to discomfort. But as amusing as those days were, the joke was on us. These particular snowflakes didn’t melt away; they adapted, mutated, and expanded.

Has America been morphing into an economically fascist country? Marc Andreessen suggested as much in a recent interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Andreessen, billionaire, software engineer, and co-creator of the first widely used Internet browser, Mosaic, offered a unique inside look into navigating the inner workings of Silicon Valley. Andreessen and Rogan discussed a

The worst attorney general in history, Merrick Garland, exited the Justice Department Friday, we hope for the last time (unless he enters it again as a defendant). As this senior Biden regime corruptocrat walked out of the department that he did so much to wreck and politicize over the last four years, far-left Justice Department

Trump aides are calling it “Shock and Awe.” There will be 100 executive orders (EO) and other executive actions starting Monday, Jan. 20. Indeed, most executive actions aren’t going to “shock” a lot of people. Trump has talked about all of them in the campaign and during his years in exile since his defeat in

MSNBC’s Morning Joe’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined another H-less Jon on Thursday when he appeared on Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart podcast.

Another year’s Consumer Electronics Show has come and gone, and CES 2025 did not disappoint. From futuristic electric vehicles to smart lawnmowers and vacuums, from the latest specs on earbuds to bendable gaming monitors, this show had something for everyone. Honda O Series While CES isn’t primarily a car show, Honda certainly still surprised everyone

A recent social media debate about the state of the American economy should make the GOP consider whether the party of self-empowerment should rebrand itself as the party of entitlement. Christopher Rufo is a journalist who is well known for, among other things, his culture war crusades against critical race theory in K-12 schools and

Girls came back from Christmas break at one Denver school to an unpleasant, woke New Year’s innovation: a girls’ bathroom transformed into an “all-gender” bathroom. Cue the pixie dust and gender unicorns. Advertisement Even as Congress just moved along legislation to ban biological males from female sports, radical leftists in schools across the country are

On Friday, a jury in Panama City, Florida found CNN guilty of defamation in the case of Zachary Young, who worked to rescue people from Afghanistan after America withdrew. CNN must pay $5 million in damages (not counting punitive damages). Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro has been in the courtroom to explain it all.  It began with

Journalist Jemele Hill is one of Caitlin Clark’s biggest haters, but after recent news of Clark’s stalker’s arrest, she’s clearly begun to regret that decision and wiped all of her past comments on the WNBA star off social media. However, the internet never forgets. “I don’t like to play the Oppression Olympics, but … has

President Joe Biden continued his last-minute clemency blitz, announcing Friday morning that he is commuting sentences for another 2,500 individuals. A press release from the White House revealed that the convicted criminals were all sentenced for nonviolent drug offenses. ‘Will forever define President Biden’s legacy.’ Biden argued that the individuals “are serving disproportionately long sentences

In 1989, Ronald Reagan gave his farewell speech in the Oval Office. After the live coverage on ABC, then-White House reporter Sam Donaldson offered a Democratic rebuttal of sorts on the Reagan legacy.

Will the wildfires finally wake up Los Angeles? Adam Carolla, evacuated from home and ranting into his mic in a Los Angeles hotel room, seems to think so. When the fast winds that fueled two of L.A. County’s largest wildfires on record die down, wealthy residents of Pacific Palisades rushing to rebuild their homes will

Remember back in early December when leaders from around the world gathered in France to celebrate the re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral after it was damaged in a fire in 2019? Joe Biden wasn’t in attendance (nor was Kamala Harris for that matter), but Donald Trump was, and he was treated with the kind

Every generation loves to give the next one a hard time. Socrates famously called youth lazy, disrespectful, and decadent, starting a tradition that continues today. Although these criticisms sometimes hold truth, elders rarely acknowledge their own role in fostering the conditions that led to spiritual and cultural decline. Generation Z — or Zoomers — may

Donald Trump’s first term was plagued by a series of poor hiring decisions. Many administration staffers were establishment insiders focused on sabotaging Trump’s presidency and securing lucrative book deals, while others were never truly committed to advancing the Trump agenda. Determined to avoid repeating those missteps, Trump has laid out strict new hiring guidelines, which

On Thursday morning and after some cockamamie, tone-deaf reactions Wednesday night to President Biden’s farewell address, the major broadcast networks chose to double down with empty stenography for power with one network going to nonsensical links suggesting Biden could one day be compared to President George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson as one

If only they could have put out the Pacific Palisades fire with liberal tears. The ABC comic is crying, again, and yes it’s about Donald Trump, again. Jimmy Kimmel famously choked up on camera the day after the election, a humiliating moment for the former “Man Show” host. ‘Meghan Markle and Harry are no better

As the wildfires in California rage on and leave thousands of Americans homeless, people are beginning to wonder what might be to blame for the relentless flames. Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” has some answers — though some might not want to hear them. “I’m not trying to chastise people who politically disagree with me,

The Democrats spent the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Trump’s attorney general nominee Pam Bondi repeatedly asking her to commit to not engaging in any of the legal and constitutional violations the Biden Justice Department has committed over the last four years. And one senator raked his leftist colleagues over the coals for their utter

Panama City, FL — Something special about the judicial system in Florida is, baring objection of counsels and the court, jurors get to ask questions of the witnesses. These questions could be used to judge a jury’s temperament and possible mindset as a trial unfolds. In the case of the $1 billion defamation trial against CNN,

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 passed a House vote on Wednesday, sending Democratic lawmakers into a frenzy over the potential law.

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ wish list for the upcoming special legislative session when it comes to immigration will focus on expanding and strengthening existing state laws in order to help President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts on the issue.

Common sense champions of allowing only biological women in women’s sports celebrated a home run as the House passed legislation to keep “transgender” men out of women’s sports in schools that received federal funding.

A carefully elaborated media smear campaign, combining the worst elements of the Bork and Kavanaugh confirmation processes, crashed and burned. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth appears to have bolstered his confirmation chances, and the media were not thrilled to report that. All three major network newscasts were goofy, but the goofiest was the CBS Evening

Former “SportsCenter” anchor Jemele Hill was mocked online after she tried to defend Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ failures by bashing the Kardashians. Bass has been heavily criticized over the failures that led to the historically disastrous wildfire catastrophe in Southern California. Hill tried to exonerate the Democratic mayor by cherry-picking criticism from Khloé Kardashian.

The wildfires around Los Angeles are a historic disaster. Los Angeles officials believe the number of dead is higher than reported, and thousands of homes have been destroyed in the flames. Over 130,000 people are under evacuation orders. But that all raises the question: Why was California so unprepared? Right as the firefighters were attempting

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris recently held a briefing on the devastating California wildfires, and if this was meant to be a show of leadership, it fell laughably short. In what we can only describe as a tone-deaf display, Biden and Harris turned the event into a cringe-worthy disaster, proving yet again how out of
