Harvard University students can learn about the “political mastermind” of Stacey Abrams this semester in a class that explicitly says it is taught through a critical race theory lens. “From First Lady Michelle Obama to political mastermind Stacy Abrams to Vice President Kamala Harris, Black women have left their stamp on 21st-century politics and grassroots organizing,” the course description for “Race, Gender, and Law through the Archive” says. Abrams is a former Democratic state representative who lost the 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial elections in Georgia. As noted by the Washington Free Beacon, she claims the 2018 election was “rigged” and...

While the U.S. F-35 and F-22 may be qualitatively superior, China’s ability to mass-produce its J-20 stealth fighter presents a grave quantitative threat. China’s “offset strategy with Chinese characteristics” focuses on overwhelming the limited number of American fifth-generation jets with a massive fleet of J-20s.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The bloody years-long conflict between Ukraine and Russia was finally brought to an end this week, as President Donald Trump successfully negotiated a ceasefire between the countries by agreeing to give Vladimir Putin California. The deal was struck after several months of stop-and-start negotiations between the two sides mediated by Trump, with Russia finally agreeing to bring the hostilities to an end after being gifted the entire state of California as a substitute for the territory it coveted from Ukraine. "It's a great deal for every party involved," Trump told reporters when announcing the agreement. "I told...

Mayor Brandon Johnson has an important public service announcement: VIDEO AT LINK...................... https://x.com/i/status/1955680709580038199 He's a genius! This takes real skill:

Last month, a Republican Congress and President Trump achieved, if that is the word, a massive budget-reconciliation bill. As is more and more common, a Congress averse to accountability for particular votes crammed the measure full of many agenda items that the majority and the president wanted but chose to vote up or down on them as a package. Several provisions are relevant to American higher education. They involve the student-loan program, in which the federal government provides both subsidized and unsubsidized loans to both graduate and undergraduate students. Federal grants to needy students, e.g. Pell grants, are only modestly...

BREAKING: We have received reports—and video evidence—of two potential New World Screwworm (NWS) infestations in U.S. cattle: one in Texas, one in Oklahoma. We have chosen not to share the videos, because the last time we did, locked us out of our account for 4 weeks. Reports conflict on whether these cases tested positive or negative for NWS. We sincerely hope they are negative, but we are seeking clarification from the USDA. We call on @USDA_APHIS to immediately release the results of all recent NWS tests, as it is a requirement that all potential NWS specimens go to National Veterinary...

VIDEOPerennial LOSING candidate Robert Francis (who calls himself "Beto" for political reasons) O'Rourke continues his LOSING streak. Not content with being a LOSING punk rocker dressed like a lamb in white tights, O'Rourke went on to become a three time election LOSER in the past few years. His latest shtick is remaking himself as a leader of the resistance to redistricting in Texas by paying for the Democrat legislators of that state to split to highly Gerrymandered Illinois. Unfortunately for poor Beto this latest effort is also LOSING since those legislators are now reported to be returning to Texas where...

Russia’s production of its most advanced tank, the T-90M “Breakthrough,” has fallen off dramatically in 2025, casting serious doubt on claims of a manufacturing surge.

This production crisis is compounded by reports of poor quality, including bad welds, and deep-seated company issues like lawsuits for unpaid bills, low wages, and corruption.

The proper response to foreign tariffs is nothing. Here is why. 1. A tariff is a tax on your citizens. Retaliation means you tax your buyers and your producers to “punish” a foreign government. You hurt the innocent to spite the guilty. 2. Imports are the benefit of trade. Exports are the cost you pay to get them. Blocking imports means you block the benefit and keep the cost. 3. Unilateral free trade raises real incomes. It lowers input costs for businesses, speeds innovation, and forces domestic firms to win by serving customers, not by lobbying. 4. Tariff tit for...

Abstract. This article analyses the October 7th 2023 Hamas attack on Israel through the lens of the Genocide Convention, arguing that these actions constitute genocide under international law. Drawing on international case law, the analysis demonstrates how Hamas’ actions meet both the physical element and specific intent requirements for genocide, evidenced by its ideology, systematic policies and leadership statements. The article also examines how reverse accusations of genocide against Israel have functioned as a rhetorical shield to deflect recognition of Hamas’ own genocidal actions. It analyses the legal implications for state parties and the international community.

As Dems attempt to mount a comeback for 2028, Stephen A. Smith is still flirting with the idea of a presidential campaign. While appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher, the NBA analyst admitted that although he “can’t imagine” running for president, it remains a “possible” option for him after previous talks of a pivot to public office. “Listen, life is good, man. I mean, I leave the door open,” he told Maher. “I can’t imagine myself doing it, but I haven’t ruled it out, because I’m disgusted with what I’m seeing on the left.” Smith added, “I look at...
