The Taliban’s education ministry directed male students between sixth and 12th grade, as well as teachers, to return to school set to begin on Saturday, the Associated Press reported Friday. Girls of the same category weren’t included in the announcement that was posted to Facebook, according to the AP. The Taliban has allowed girls from

A Chinese police officer guards a road near leading to what is officially called a vocational education center for Uyghurs in Xinjiang, China, September 4, 2018. (Thomas Peter/Reuters) Expect Chinese diplomats to be laser-focused on rebutting allegations that Beijing is carrying out a genocide against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, while taking advantage of recent cringe-inducing

You know it’s gotten really bad at the southern border, when even the broadcast news networks take notice. On Friday, ABC’s Good Morning America led off with the “New Crisis at the Border,” while Thursday’s NBC Nightly News featured a report about the “record migrant surge,” letting viewers know there were “more than 200,000 migrants”

Twenty-four Republican attorneys general sent a seven-page letter to Joe Biden threatening legal action if the president’s vaccine mandate is put into effect. The effort is being led by Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, who called the mandate “disastrous.” “I am committed to continuing leading with my colleagues to push back and fight this mandate

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R., Ohio) attends a House Financial Services Committee hearing in Washington, December 2, 2020. (Greg Nash / Pool via Reuters) Frankly, I’m not sure I had heard of Anthony Gonzalez until Josh Mandel called him a “traitor.” Mandel is the leading GOP Senate candidate in Ohio. Who was this traitor Gonzalez? A

Thanks to both red and blue pro-amnesty forces, immigration policy debates have been reduced to charts, numbers, and dollar signs, a truth that has become painfully evident in Democrat’s push to pass a massive amnesty through budget reconciliation. The budget reconciliation package is expected to include a laundry list of legislative priorities that were not

What do you do when you are adapting a dystopian graphic novel about a plague that kills almost all the men in the world, but woke lunatics can no longer define ”man” and ”woman”? You get a show in which a female president says stupid things like, ”We’ve found plenty of men. None with a Y chromosome.” The feminist vision

In a shocking turn of events, PolitiFact rated something a Republican said “Mostly True.” Not just any Republican, either. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said something about recovered immunity from COVID-19 that PoilitFact did not completely debunk. There is a highly coordinated narrative on COVID-19 in the corporate media, and most outlets will only parrot what

A ruling from a federal judge on Thursday led Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to abandon his plan to close six entry points on the southern border amid a surge of migrants, the El Paso Times reported. The U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia blocked President Joe Biden from turning away migrant families with

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe at a campaign event in Arlington, Va., July 23, 2021. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters) The Washington Post has endorsed Terry McAuliffe for governor of Virginia, which is not the least bit interesting. What is interesting is the logic they used to endorse him. The Post says that McAuliffe is “a legendary dealmaker”: Even Republicans in

In Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, former President George W. Bush’s theme was national unity—and how it has been lost over these past 20 years. “In the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks,” said Bush, “I was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people. When it comes to the unity of America, those days

The head honcho for liberal billionaire George Soros’s Open Society-U.S. is attacking the Catholic Church for being against President Joe Biden’s grotesque pro-unborn baby slaughter agenda. Open Society-U.S. Executive Director Thomas Perriello wrote a disgusting op-ed for Politico Magazine headlined: “Biden Is the Most Pro-Family President in Decades. So Why Is the Catholic Church Attacking

I hate to admit it, but I’m a sucker for clickbait listicles. Facebook has me pegged. If one shows up in my feed, I’ll probably click it. I’m considering going to rehab if I don’t get it under control. Reboots are rarely a good idea—probably the only film reboot that was good was the Coen

A California high school classroom displayed what an anonymous parent called “disgusting brainwashing of students with taxpayer dollars” over photos that show F*** the Police and F*** Amerikkka posters and Pride and Black Lives Matter flags, according to a tip provided by a parent to Parents Defending Education.

Former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe speaks at the North America’s Building Trades Unions 2019 legislative conference in Washington, D.C., April 10, 2019. (Yuri Gripas/Reuters) At Thursday night’s Virginia gubernatorial debate, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe was asked if he would sign legislation loosening Virginia’s statute on third-trimester abortions.  Specifically, moderator Susan Page asked McAuliffe if he

Abortion will always be the most divisive issue in the wider American right. It is the overarching issue of our age. “America is not and, please God, will never become Nazi Germany, but it is only blind hubris that denies it can happen here and, in peculiarly American ways, may be happening here.” With these

When fundamental truth ceases to exist, all that is left is the will to power. Towards the end of this year, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear arguments from the state of Mississippi that have the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that forced legalization of abortion throughout the country.

HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night, where he did something rarely heard on late-night shows anymore: he mocked both the “liberal media” for their misleading, hyperbolic coronavirus coverage, and the woke left for buying into it.  Discussing his tour dates, Maher told Kimmel how blue states were hard

The recall of California Governor Gavin Newsom was always a longshot. Democrats outnumber Republicans in the Golden State 2 to 1, which always meant that Newsom was in a strong position to hold onto his job, and recent polls also showed he had little to worry about. By the time of the election, No, Do

The headquarters of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Md. (Jason Reed/Reuters) There are three possible explanations for why two longtime U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials specializing in vaccines have announced their departures from the agency and have simultaneously published a long essay in the medical journal The Lancet, expressing skepticism,

In what may have been her ugliest rant ever, MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid told tens of millions of Republicans, conservatives, and right-leaning Americans on Wednesday that we “love Covid so much” that we “want it everywhere” to murder as many people as possible, “drink” COVID “in a Kool-Aid cup,” have it “injected into” our

“220,000 Americans dead […]  anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America,” Biden declared during the final presidential debate in October 2020. “I will take care of this, I will end this. I will make sure we have a plan.” Nearly a year later, there

Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee blocked GOP amendments Tuesday that would have prohibited further tax increases until the economy returns to its pre-pandemic condition. Republican Reps. Kevin Hern and Lloyd Smucker introduced the bills as amendments to Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package during the committee’s markup of parts of the sweeping

(Kim Kyung-Hoon/Reuters) Last week, I commented elsewhere that NPR had a sloppy piece of reporting on Hurricane Ida and climate. This week, it’s the Wall Street Journal that seems to confuse reporting with printing the talking points they get from government agencies. See for instance, this piece about president Biden’s pick for the top Export-Import

For a long time, I thought that whatever changes took place on the Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade would not be overruled outright but rather subjected to death by a thousand cuts. I have changed my mind. Dissatisfaction with the squishy “undue burden” test, which generates dozens of politically charged cases a year, together with

Biden’s blunder in Afghanistan was so disastrous that it has already inspired musicians to write songs about it. One artist moved to create out of anger and disappointment in the 46th president’s braindead pullout of Afghanistan was lead singer/songwriter of the group “Five For Fighting,” John Ondrasik.  [embedded content] Ondrasik, who wrote the unofficial 9/11

A captain’s job is simple. Find a crew, find a job, keep flying. That’s a line from the late, great Firefly, about getting by in a totalitarian universe. It’s felt right at home over the past year of COVID, lockdowns, mandates, shutdowns, and the rest that has been unleashed on us recently. The mediocrity occupying

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce rejected a key drug control bill in a stunning rebuke of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership. “For many years now, I’ve been committed to addressing drug prices in a meaningful way,” Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader, who voted against the bill, said during the hearing. “Americans, regardless
