@MzSgtPepper: I am proposing that August 1st be a “Tweet Out” day where blue voters take the day off from tweeting. Think of the revenue lost for Twitter - X if we did that. Best way to affect change with a billionaire is to hit them in the wallet. RT if you are with me. #August1stTweetOutDay @MarkHammill This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 damn day? Read a book!...

VIDEO"The walls are finally closing in..."If you heard that phrase once you heard it at least dozens of times in reference to President Donald Trump. However, since the Deep State was only able to conjure up a FAKE Trump-Russia collusion against him, the walls never did close in on Trump. Contrary to that situation, the walls are REALLY closing in now on Joe Biden. The Deep State was infuriated at Sleepy Joe for the Afghanistan debacle and then later when he did announced he was running for re-election. Thus we now have a lot of damaging information being revealed in...

Liberal Suburbs Have Their Own Border WallThe New York City suburb of Scarsdale, located in Westchester County, New York, is one of the country’s wealthiest communities, and its residents are reliably liberal. In 2020, three-quarters of Scarsdale voters cast ballots for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. One can safely presume that few Scarsdale residents are ardent backers of Trump’s wall on the Mexican border. But many of them support a less visible kind of wall, erected by zoning regulations that ban multifamily housing and keep non-wealthy people, many of them people of color, out of their community....The huge inequalities between...

Liberals and progressives being upset over country music star Jason Aldean's latest song and wanting it to be taken off the airwaves seems to have backfired since "Try That In A Small Town" has reached number one on iTunes. The controversy started after liberals on social media accused Aldean's song of being racist for speaking out against riots and general lawlessness, despite the fact race is not mentioned."Try That In A Small Town" also features lyrics that have a warning about gun confiscation:Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalkCarjack an old lady at a red lightPull a gun on the owner...

Why do liberals and leftists want to continually indoctrinate everyone else, while today’s conservatives tend to adopt a live and let live attitude? Raising this question to conservative friends, I had no idea that the issue would prompt such intense reactions, including heartfelt expressions about attempts to communicate with family members, relatives, friends, and associates. Judy S. said: “I’ve tried to discuss politics with a few liberals, including family members whom I love, and their responses always felt like having venom spit at me by an agitated viper. I no longer discuss politics with anyone on the Left. I do,...

Movies can sometimes be something of a Rorschach test in terms of how one views the world. Like Rorschach tests, they can sometimes leave an observer scratching their heads. As an example, my top 10 movies are probably, in no particular order, Gladiator, Tombstone, Braveheart, LA Confidential, Valley Girl, (The original masterpiece with Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage, not that terrible remake!) Lost in Translation, Galaxy Quest, Trading Places, Love Actually and maybe Titanic. I’m not sure what that list says about me, particularly the inclusion of Valley Girl, but I’m sure some psychiatrist somewhere could say there’s something to...

Dear Amy: Four months before my daughter’s wedding, she told me that her uncle (my brother, “Dave”) would make her feel unsafe if he was a guest. She asked me not to invite him. My daughter is very politically progressive, as are many of her friends, and although she and Dave have always had a good relationship (I thought), he is a conservative voter and has supported candidates we all abhor. Dave has always been very nice, so my daughter’s request surprised me.

VIDEONothing says a lack of liberal confidence in the success of the existing Jack Smith indictment against President Donald Trump quite like liberals begging Jack Smith to pull out MORE charges from his magic hat. The big TELL that liberals have lost confidence in the documents case indictment filed in Miami is the fact that you no longer hear them talking about that case much any more. Instead the liberals are now desperately praying for Jack Smith salvation in the form of other magical indictments.

The District Attorney’s Office in the Bronx has set a disposition date for Shellyne Rodriguez, a machete-wielding New York City professor who allegedly threatened to "chop up" a New York Post reporter, Fox News Digital has learned. A spokeswoman for the DA’s office said a status hearing was held Monday to confirm that the DA’s office was in compliance with all the discoveries and evidence in the case. The spokeswoman confirmed that everything was satisfactory and the date of Aug. 14, 2023, was set for a possible disposition. The court also extended the order of protection until at least that...

A new study outlines how white people’s migration during and after the Civil War, from the Confederate South to the West, bolstered white supremacy and institutional racism in non-slave states, helping create the vast racial disparities that exist today nationwide. Five researchers from separate colleges collaborated on the study, called “Confederate Diaspora,” to compile and study census data that tracked the migration to the West of white Americans, including 60,000 former plantation owners. The former Southerners took on local positions of authority, like police officers, clergy and politicians, giving them influence to create a post-Civil War culture that continued to...

Despite all the social developments that have made sex easier (the sexual revolution, dating apps, yassified contraceptives), we still haven’t moved the dial on better. Bad sex has endured. And when I say “bad sex,” I am referring to sex that is quite simply unpleasurable, unsatisfying, or even demoralizing. While older generations are up against many of the same barriers to sexual wellbeing (like purity culture and the enduring impact of inadequate sex education), young people have been uniquely inundated with toxic messaging surrounding sex that has actually disrupted our abilities to feel pleasure. Resource-sharing on platforms like TikTok and...

I just listened to a Jordan Peterson video, and while I think he is perhaps the intellectual heir to the retired Thomas Sowell (if you disagree with this, please do not too caustic in your rebutal comments), he stated something in the video that made me question the meaning of far right and far left.

I loved reading this study. I truly did.I loved it despite the fact that the authors themselves didn’t understand the meaning of their research. They thought it proved that White liberals are trying too hard to be “allies” of minorities, but what it in fact proved is that conservatives respect minorities as individuals and treat them just as they treat White people.The writeup itself is a bunch of liberal racist gobbledygook, filled with virtue signaling, misrepresentations, and blindness to the meaning of the findings.Glorious. Truly glorious. Levels of stupidity that only academics can achieve. I am pretty sure it was...

We know America is experiencing a mental health crisis, but the Youth Risk Behavior Survey recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) illustrates just how serious the problem has become for America’s young people. In 2021, almost three in five teenage girls felt persistent sadness. Girls are twice as likely to be depressed as boys, and one in three girls said they seriously considered suicide. This is a real crisis, and several factors are relevant.Social media had negatively impacted mental health long before the response to COVID-19 made the problem worse. But a new, perhaps surprising...

Fox News last month agreed to fork over nearly $800 million in its settlement of a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion claimed Fox defamed the company with supposed disinformation about its role in the 2020 election. The lawsuit was set to go to trial before Fox settled in fear of an even larger judgment and the negative publicity of Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity testifying in open court. The lawsuit possibly influenced the network to cut ties with Carlson over fears of future litigation. The whole affair demonstrates how conservatives can be sued for dubious reasons...

One hypothesis for why Fox News fired popular television commentator Tucker Carlson is because he had been badmouthing company officials. But are top executives for a major U.S. corporation so sensitive to personal criticism that they’re willing to ditch their most popular commentator for saying some bad things about them? That’s hard to believe. Another hypothesis is that Carlson was also saying bad things about Fox News colleagues. That too doesn’t make much sense to me. Doesn’t that sort of thing go on in most large companies? It’s called human nature. Again, it doesn’t seem serious enough to can the...

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker shrugged last year after several high-profile corporations left his state. “Countless companies are choosing Illinois as their home,” Mr. Pritzker said. Then why does a new Internal Revenue Service report show an accelerating taxpayer exodus from Illinois and other high-tax states?

Had to say it. Need to warn everyone that firearms are running around rampant shooting children....according to National Public Radio.
