CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Thursday on CNN’s “News Central” that voters “brainwashed” by former President Donald Trump needed to hear the “truth” from 2024 GOP hopeful former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ). In a campaign ad, Christie said, “Some people say I should drop out of this race. Really? I’m the only one saying Donald Trump is a liar. He puts Americans against each other. His Christmas message to anyone who disagrees with him, rot in hell. He caused a riot on Capital Hill, he will burn America to the ground to help himself. Every Republican leader says that in...

Younger Americans are far more likely to declare pro-Hamas attitudes than older Americans, according to a November Harvard-Harris poll. Forty-nine percent of people aged 18-24 blamed Israel for being “primarily responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” the poll reported. In contrast, 22 percent of all Americans primarily blamed Israel for the crisis, which was started by Hamas’s feral attack on Jewish civilians on October 7.

The three-week-old Israel-Hamas war has sparked protests by some high school students in Fairfax County, Virginia. Students, with their principals’ permission, have been walking out of classes for brief rallies on school grounds. Scores of students at Mount Vernon High School crowded the school’s main plaza at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and spent a half-hour chanting and rallying for the Palestinian people, especially the children. The students hoisted homemade signs and unfurled the Palestinian flag. There was a similar student protest earlier in the day at Edison High School. Other student rallies are expected Thursday at Woodson and Falls Church high...

Elon Musk has spoken out about his painful estrangement from his transgender daughter, calling her a 'communist' and blaming her politics on the expensive private high school she attended. Musk's now 19-year-old child last year legally changed her gender to female and her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, saying in court filings that she 'no longer wishes to be related' to the billionaire Tesla CEO 'in any way.' In an excerpt from his upcoming biography of Musk published on Thursday by the Wall Street Journal, author Walter Isaacson wrote that Musk's rift with Vivian 'pained him more than anything in...

A new poll found a surprising percentage of Gen Z Americans supporting the idea of the government placing cameras in every home in order to prevent crime and abuse. The finding was a part of a poll of 2,000 Americans by the Cato Institute. The poll asked whether Americans supported "the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity.” Overall, very few Americans supported the idea, about 14 percent, or one out of every seven respondents. A large majority, 75%, opposed the idea, and only 10% said they weren't sure. But among...

A liberal TikToker is going viral after complaining the only masculine and chivalrous men she can find are conservative. A self-professed 'liberal', her posts often prove polarizing, and regularly show a pining for progressive men. Her most recent exploit - posted to 35,200 followers this past Thursday - was little different, but did serve as a slight deviation from the rest of her online oeuvre. In the video, she questioned why she cannot find a left-leaning man who's 'willing to play the more traditional masculine role in the relationship' 'As a liberal woman, it is really hard to find a...

A tech worker in England tried to sue her former boss after apparently believing email abbreviations he used, such as “xx” and “???,” were codes asking for a sexual relationship. Karina Gasparova, an IT worker at “paperless global trade management” company essDOCS, filed a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against her boss Alexander Goulandris outlining alleged misbehavior dating back to 2019, according to the Independent. A judge threw the case out after an employment tribunal at London Central Court heard Gasparova’s claims. The IT employee claimed that Goulandris’ use of “xx” in emails to her were attempts to kiss her,...

The woke mob’s sick agenda of making it “normal” for kids to think they are a different gender is growing by the minute with the left basically “grooming” young children. And It doesn’t help that corporations such as Disney have deemed it acceptable by including trans and gay characters in their movies. According to a new report conducted by UCLA’s Williams Institute, 43 percent of U.S. teenagers over the age of 13 identify as transgender, that number has nearly doubled in the last few years. The study’s lead author Jody Herman said the numbers suggests that the current climate of...

Rudy Giuliani erupted on a heckler during a parade to celebrate Israel on Sunday, calling the man a “jackass” and a “brainwashed *-****” while defending his record as the city’s mayor. Giuliani could be seen on video shouting at the unidentified man at 5th Avenue and 62nd Street after the heckler got under his skin during the Israel Day Parade.

Despite a preponderance of the evidence proving COVID to be a non-event for most of us, over 1 million people have fallen foul to vaccine injury. This should be enough to stop most people in their tracks. It hasn’t. Many emerge from near death experience even more pontifical than before, denouncing the rest of us for not joining in this mortal game of Russian Roulette. Fuelling their self-righteous indignation of us, is other people’s self-righteous indignation of them. It is a perpetual loop of blame and shame. There can be no avoiding these people. A sort of Provisional Mask Army....

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all the charges against him in his homicide trial on Friday. In an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, he said he wasn't a racist and supported BLM. Rittenhouse was on trial for killing two people and injuring a third during protests last summer. Kyle Rittenhouse said he isn't a racist and that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement in a sneak peek of his interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson. "This case has nothing to do with race. It never had anything to do with race. It had to do with the right...

Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry ‘pissed’ national anthem was playing at Olympic trials A U.S. hammer thrower turned away from the American flag as she stood on the medal podium at the Olympic trials during the national anthem on Saturday, saying she’s “pissed” the Star-Spangled Banner was played as she received her bronze medal. Gwen Berry — who qualified for her second U.S. Olympic team during the trials — shifted to face the stands rather than the flag before holding up a black shirt that reads “Activist Athlete.” “I feel like it was a set-up, and they did it on...

As my listeners and readers can hopefully attest, I have been on a lifelong quest to understand human nature and human behavior. I am sad to report that I have learned more in the last few years, particularly in 2020, than in any equivalent period of time. One of the biggest revelations concerns a question that has always plagued me: How does one explain the "good German," the term used to describe the average, presumably decent German, who did nothing to hurt Jews but also did nothing to help them and did nothing to undermine the Nazi regime? The same...

Thomas Burriel was 13 when he first learned about democratic socialism. It happened on Instagram. Burriel was scrolling through his feed one day in February after school. At the time—winter 2018—he was still attending Linus Pauling, the middle school in his hometown of Corvallis, which is about two hours outside of Portland, Oregon. Linus Pauling offers a “Human Rights Club” and an “Equal Rights/Safer Space Club” to discuss social justice and world events, but Burriel wasn’t involved in them, or in any political clubs at school. And while he identified as a Democrat, he admitted that he had also sympathized...

TikTok fans are retaliating for Trump’s threats of banning the app, which is owned by China’s Bytedance Ltd. and is hugely popular in the U.S., especially among teens. The thought of taking away a key social and entertainment hub in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to outrage. “For Gen Z and Millennials, TikTok is our clubhouse and Trump threatened it,” said Yori Blacc, a 19-year-old TikTok user in California who joined in the app protest. “If you’re going to mess with us, we will mess with you.” Blacc said the movement gained steam Wednesday when a popular...

I wonder what all those silly women who went Democrat in 2018 are thinking right now? We kept hearing about how the suburban women's vote did not like Trump. Well, what do you think of him now, ladies?

To @realdonaldtrump Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag. It has never been. We can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities. We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform. We are...

This video will make you laugh.  Sad to say I know very well meaning people like this.  Often they tend to be academia types that are for the most part brainwashed by leftist garbage.  It seems like no matter what evidece I provide them they only parrot what the media has told them initially. The good news is with some of them eventually overtime (3 months to a few years) they come to my position.  Although they like to pretend they came up with it all on their own.  Hey..., I am okay with that and even willing to playalong to...

Ah, what are the future Extinction Rebellion members in New Mexico supposed to do? Teens who consider themselves to be climate activists are now on the horns of a dilemma. After Democrats managed to flip the state blue in the last elections, their new liberal governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, began pushing through all sorts of proposals. In addition to gun control and marijuana decriminalization, Grisham decided that all of the students in the state should get a free education at both two and four-year state colleges. What’s not to like, right?Well, according to some teen activists, there’s still a...

Far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg had a meltdown while speaking at the United Nations on Monday about climate change, claiming that the state of the world is on the verge of collapse. The Washington Examiner noted that Thunberg "has stage-parents, literally. Her mother sang opera internationally until the teenager convinced her to quit due to greenhouse gas emissions from flying, and her father and grandfather both gained fame through acting and directing." Thunberg repeatedly condemned adults by dramatically saying, "how dare you!" as she warned of a future that she suggested may not even exist due to climate change. "My...
