Left-wing racialism has become the lexicon of the Ivy League, so it is only natural that its feeder schools have adopted it as well—partly out of idealism, partly out of cynicism. The most prestigious of these is Phillips Exeter Academy. The school has graduated senators, diplomats, generals, and titans of industry. In the past, this meant assimilating the manners and mores of America’s elite Protestant culture. Today, it means drilling students in ideological concepts such as “white privilege,” “white fragility,” and “queer theory.” The Exeter man is prepared to rule or, at a minimum, to conform to the culture of...

One of President Joe Biden's long shot Democratic challengers released an ad Friday in which Bigfoot searches for the incumbent in New Hampshire.

President Joe Biden won New Hampshire’s largely symbolic Democratic primary on Tuesday, prevailing in an unusual write-in effort after he refused to campaign or appear on the state ballot. Biden easily bested two longshot challengers, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson, who were on the ballot along with a host of little-known names. His victory in a race he was not formally contesting essentially cements the president’s grasp on the Democratic nomination for a second term. The New Hampshire race will likely not count toward amassing delegates for the presidential nomination after Democrats in the state bucked...

Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips vowed to press on after garnering about 21 percent of the vote in Tuesdsay's Democratic primary in New Hampshire. Phillips and self-help guru Marianne Williamson were the only Democrats to appear by name on the Granite State ballot due to the Democratic National Committee's decision to skip over New Hampshire and make South Carolina first. As soon as polls closed at 8 p.m., CNN and The Associated Press almost immediately called the race for President Joe Biden, as his supporters mounted a write-in campaign in the state. 'Joe Biden is a good man. He is a...

President Joe Biden and the Democrats have gravely warned America that democracy is on the ballot in 2024, but if so, why are they disenfranchising Democratic voters in the New Hampshire primary, and how is he performing so poorly there anyway? The party of Jefferson and Jackson is punishing the Granite State for refusing to allow South Carolina to take its place as the Democrats’ first-in-the-nation primary, and the punishment is that their votes simply won’t count. The hope was that this would make the nation ignore the contest, but a pesky young Democrat congressman from Minnesota named Dean Phillips...

When 2024 Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Dean Phillips took over his family's booze business in 2000 he oversaw a raunchy ad campaign used to sell Revelstoke, a spiced Canadian whisky. The ad campaign used strippers to sell the whisky and suggested men needed to drink more of it to deal with overweight, undesirable women. It also used creative technology so that the name of the whisky brand would show up in urinals as male customers went to the bathroom. Phillips has used his business background as a benefit since launching a political career in the aftermath of former President Donald...

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips - who's primary challenging President Biden - is pushing back against criticism from Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina that he's being disrespectful to Black voters. And the moderate three-term congressman from Minnesota who launched his 2024 White House run last week charged - as he answered a question from Fox News Digital - that those who are attacking him are fueling a "political conversation that's dividing the country right now."

CONCORD, N.H. – Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota is jumping into the 2024 White House race with a long-shot Democratic primary challenge against President Biden. The campaign launch by the millionaire businessman and co-founder of a gelato company turned three-term House Democrat comes as the 80-year-old president continues to suffer from underwater approval ratings among many Americans and faces concerns over his physical and mental stamina. Phillips filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday to officially set up his presidential campaign, and his website www.dean24.com went live in the evening. "I am excited to announce my candidacy for...

For more than 10 years, a Colorado law has been misused to punish me for something I didn’t do. For more than 30 years, my family and I have quietly operated Masterpiece Cakeshop, baking treats and specializing in custom-designed cakes to celebrate special occasions. I welcome everyone into my shop, treat them with respect, and if they ask for a particular kind of custom cake, do my best to create something beautiful and memorable. Like most of us, I too have sincere beliefs that guide and inspire my life, so I can only create custom cakes that will express or...

I’ve been writing about Denver-area baker Jack Phillips for over a decade now. It’s clear to me he’s going to be badgered into the grave by authoritarians intent on punishing him for thought crimes. From the first time his name appeared in the news until this day, the media have misled the public about him, about the case, and about the law. The latest chapter in Phillips’ Kafkaesque saga involves a transgendered lawyer named Autumn Scardina, who demanded Phillips create a pink cake with blue frosting to help celebrate a “gender transition.” As expected, Phillips, who’d already spent years fighting...

This week, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was indicted on federal bribery charges. Federal agents found more than $480,000 in cash, $100,000 in gold bars, and a key to a safe deposit box with $70,000 in it owned by his wife Nadine during a search of their home. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn) called for Menendez to resign, saying "a member of Congress who appears to have broken the law is someone who I believe should resign." Eric Holder, also demanded Menendez's resignation. "As both a leader in the Democratic Party, a former Attorney General, and given the seriousness of the charges,...

Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, the heart of the heroic True the Vote team, worked diligently and directly with the FBI on their breakthrough film, “2000 Mules.” They handed the FBI in 2021 two copies of the geospatial data documenting, as their film description puts it, “widespread, coordinated and deliberate voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome.” But they were told the feds couldn’t make this evidence an “investigative priority” because there was no “financial nexus” sufficient to spend resources. Of course, the FBI’s top leadership was already in bed with Joe Biden, so no...

The Daily Signal has been able to get 217 pages from the National Security Administration (NSA) under FOIA. Those pages show the huge effort to “torpedo” the Trump administration before they even took office with an effort to go after Gen. Michael Flynn, the man who would be National Security Advisor for President Donald Trump.Flynn’s conversation with the Russian ambassador in the period between November 2016 and Jan. 2017 was intercepted by intelligence officials for the Obama administration, and then his name was unmasked.The Signal requested the information in March 2021 and didn’t get the documents until June 30, 2023.Some...

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey joined 21 other Republican attorneys general in filing a legal brief urging the Colorado Supreme Court to hear an appeal by a Christian cake artist who lost a First Amendment case in a lower court. Last month, Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips and the Alliance Defending Freedom filed a petition with Colorado’s highest court to overturn a state Court of Appeals decision. It found Phillips violated Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act when in 2012 he refused to make a blue and pink cake for attorney Autumn Scardina who stated in a phone conversation it was to celebrate...

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch asked Monday whether Colorado baker Jack Phillips was forced to undergo “reeducation” after refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Gorsuch’s question came during oral arguments in the case of 303 Creative v. Elenis. Lorie Smith, who owns 303 Creative and provides graphic and web design services, sued the state in 2016 because she did not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, arguing the law violated her First Amendment rights. The case is similar to that of a 2018 case involving baker Jack Phillips, also from Colorado, who refused to make...

True The Vote announces that Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht have been released from prison.

True the Vote founder Catherine Englebrecht and election data security analyst, Gregg Phillips, were previously in contempt of court and placed in jail for failing to outline the participants in a 2020 hotel discussion that revealed the Konnech election data compromise that was transmitted to Chinese networks. {Go Deep} Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested for exploiting access to U.S. election data, including election worker information, and transferring the files to China. Eugene Yu and Konnech sued True the Vote and are using the U.S. civil judicial system to find out who told the FBI about the Chinese data harvesting...

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado baker who won a partial Supreme Court victory after refusing on religious grounds to make a gay couple’s wedding cake a decade ago is challenging a separate ruling he violated the state’s anti-discrimination law by refusing to make a cake celebrating a gender transition. A lawyer for Jack Phillips on Wednesday urged Colorado’s appeals court — largely on procedural grounds — to overturn last year’s ruling in a lawsuit brought by a transgender woman. The woman, Autumn Scardina, called Phillips’ suburban Denver cake shop in 2017 requesting a birthday cake that had blue frosting on...
