Nazi Germany wasn’t the first nation to be enamored with racial purity and a master race. It was America. Proponents of eugenics gained immense influence here in the early 20th century. They hoped to incarcerate millions of “unfit” Americans in colonies, forbid them from marrying, or forcibly sterilize them so that, within several generations, only white Nordics would remain. For them, this was ultimately a global enterprise. Historian and prolific author Edwin Black chronicles this dark phase of American history in his extensively researched book War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race. He charts...

Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday he felt betrayed by President Joe Biden after learning that he is willing to withhold offensive weapons to Israel and accused the president of reneging on the deal they made to pass aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan last month. Johnson also said he hoped that Biden’s threat to cut off American weapons, made in a CNN interview, was “a senior moment.”

Israel has spent months cleansing Gaza of Hamas terrorists following the Oct 7 massacre. Today an Israeli spokesman said there were 4000 terrorists remaining- all holed up in Rafah. Israel intended an incursion into Rafah to put a just end to Hamas. At least that was the plan. Joe Biden just threw Hamas a lifeline. Biden, despite his and his regime's assurances that their support of Israel was "ironclad", has decided to not support the only real US ally in the Middle East. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would not supply offensive weapons that Israel...

VIDEOWatch the incredible level of extremely childish pettiness displayed by Greek Eurovision contestant Marina Satti while Israeli contestant Eden Golan was being interviewed. However, don't blame Greece entirely for Satti's behavior. Although her mother is Greek, her father was a Sudanese Arab. It will be interesting to see if Satti will apologize SINCERELY for her horrible behavior or will she continue to act like a pathetic child.

On this date in 1628, a prepubescent boy went to the stake at Würzburg, the victim of a witch-hunting spasm amid the confusion of the Thirty Years’ War. Here is the story as related by Midelfort’s Witch Hunting in Southwestern Germany, 1562-1684: Bernhard Reichardt, a magistrate and wealthy man of Markelsheim, had tried to give his young son, Johan Bernhard, a decent education by sending him to school at Neuen Münster in Würzburg. In December of 1627, however, the father became convinced that his son had been seduced into witchcraft there, and transferred Johan Bernhard to the Jesuit school at...

While pundits, politicians and the press have long expressed outrage over attacks on judges by former President Donald Trump, many are now attacking any judge who delays any trial of Trump before the election. Democrats have accused Judge Aileen Cannon of being politically compromised, if not conspiratorial, in her delay of the Florida trial over the mishandling of classified documents. Yet, there is ample reason for the delay that many of us anticipated in this type of case when it was filed.For months, many of us have said that we doubt that this type of trial could be held on...

Pollack, who announced in a surprise email Thursday that she is stepping down in June after a seven-year reign.

In a recent Senate Committee briefing, Dr. Robert Califf, the head of the FDA, announced proactive measures being implemented in preparation for a potential bird flu pandemic that could prove deadly to a significant portion of the infected population. He highlighted that while the risk of transmission to humans remains low, the agency is not taking any chances, according to Daily Mail. Dr. Califf reported that only one human case has been confirmed so far—a farm worker in Texas this past March. Despite this, the potential for the virus to mutate and spread to humans necessitates rigorous preparedness. The Texas...

Before the rise of aircraft carriers, battleships were every navy’s most powerful asset. Over the years, scores of these vessels sailed the seas, bristling with weapons, and their actions marked the turning points of world wars and other major conflicts. Five battleships stand out among their number.

We are witnessing an explosion of cancer in the United States that is absolutely unprecedented. As you will see below, it is being projected that the number of new cases of cancer in the U.S. will hit a brand new record high this year, and cancer rates are rising particularly rapidly among our young people. There have been so many prominent individuals in the news that have been diagnosed with cancer recently, and so many people that I personally know have also been diagnosed with cancer recently. I am sure that most of you also personally know people that have...

Official data published by the UK regarding cancer occurrence rates and deaths is contradictory. Those who have attempted to make sense of the data have been dismissed without any serious attempt by criticisers to delve into the data themselves. So, HART reviewed the UK cancer data and, to resolve the conflict in the data from different UK sources, briefly reviewed data from other countries. “The denial of the rise in cancer deaths by ministers in the Health Department is a denial of reality,” HART concluded. Many of our readers will be aware of the claims of a rise in cancers...

A group of foreign bondholders have taken steps to force Ukraine to begin repaying its debts as soon as next year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday. If they succeed, Kiev could haemorrhage $500 million every year on interest payments alone. The group, which includes investment giants BlackRock and Pimco, granted Kiev a two-year debt holiday in 2022, gambling that the conflict with Russia would have concluded by now. With no end to the fighting in sight, the lenders have now hired lawyers at Weil Gotshal & Manges and bankers from PJT Partners to meet with Ukrainian officials and...
