    We feel strongly that public discussion and civil debate are crucial to our society. We know that you, our readers, know things that we don’t. You come from different backgrounds and have different experiences. We’re all better when we can hear one another and learn from different perspectives. That’s why the USA TODAY Network invested in extensive research and testing with the Center for Media Engagement before deciding to enable comments on our news sites in 2020. But for all their benefits, we also know that comment sections across the internet can quickly devolve when they’re left unmonitored. We wanted...

  • DeSantis Super PAC is playing the “long game,” counting on Trump being tossed in the slammer…

    It seems like the Ron DeSantis “reboot” is placing its bets on a somewhat risky scenario: the prospect of President Trump ending up behind bars, rendering him incapable of campaigning. That’s what a recent report from NeverTrumper’s at The Bulwark claims. According to the report, the DeSantis Super PAC “Never Back Down” is taking a strategic approach, gearing up for a potential delegate battle should President Trump face legal challenges that will render him unable to go on.

    The FBI and other US government agencies failed "at a fundamental level" to assess the potential for violence ahead of the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021, a new report claims.Democrats on a Senate panel found the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) "downplayed" the risks and so did not properly prepare. The 105-page report, titled Planned in Plain Sight, was released on Tuesday. It criticises officials for misjudging and reacting slowly to tip-offs. "At a fundamental level, the agencies failed to fulfil their mission and connect the public and non-public information they received," the report reads.
  • The United Nations now promotes adults having sex with minors

    In case you need yet another reason to support defunding the United Nations, the organization is promoting the idea that minors can consent to sex with adults. The International Commission of Jurists published a report claiming that “sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law.” According to the ICJ, “criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.” WHY IS...

    Residents in Newburyport are demanding that the City Council replace the Massachusetts flag and seal, claiming that the imagery is problematic and helps promote the state’s racist history. According to the Newburyport Daily News, the Council received a resolution on Feb. 27 asking them to support the work of the Special Commission Relative to the Seal and Motto of the Commonwealth. The Commission, in part, recommended replacing the seal and flag to better reflect the diverse residents now living in Massachusetts.

    San Francisco’s reparations committee has proposed paying each Black longtime resident $5 million and granting total debt forgiveness due to the decades of "systematic repression" faced by the local Black community. The San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which advises the city on developing a plan for reparations for Black residents, released its draft report last month to address reparations – not for slavery, since California was not technically a slave state, but "to address the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent and legacy of chattel slavery." "While...

    Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump. Do not be fooled: this act is not intended to remove Trump from the battlefield, but rather to help him ride to victory and become the GOP 2024 candidate. Democrats, who most recently subverted Republican primaries by pushing candidates they hoped would lose in the general election, are just that devious.

    During a meeting of the Metropolitan Nashville Board of Public Education this week, a hot mic caught board members apparently pondering "can we just go set Marsha Blackburn on fire?" — the latest instance of public school boards saying the quiet part out loud and revealing their partisan hostility against conservatives and Republicans. Video from the meeting, posted here on March 23rd by the district, captures the moment starting around the 1:02 mark after the school board tried to bring its meeting to order but, still lacking a quorum, called for a short break during which a copy of the...

    Far-left ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel threw a fit on Tuesday, railing against “screwballs” and Republican “scumbags” who have criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci — those who have pointed to White House medical adviser’s inconsistent views, flip-flopping, and denial of funding gain-of-function research — defending the “tiny, adorable, tired man” who has positioned himself as the human expression of science itself. Kimmel kicked off the segment by insulting those who have not gotten vaccinated, telling the audience, “If you’ve been watching Fox News, you know that the real enemy isn’t the virus or the do-my-own-research geniuses who refuse to get the...

    The link tells the story of the growing crime. Here is a DFU report of the crime while visiting the grandkids in Tacoma. Late at night, perhaps around 11pm, a neighbor across the street was returning home from work and saw a lowlife scumbag or scumbags attempting to steal our Honda Element catalytic converter. They had cut through one pipe and almost through the other, but they fled the scene when they realized the neighbor saw what they were doing. The catalytic converter now hangs on the ground and I have to get it repaired or replaced. Thank you, scumbags....

    Exactly five years ago, Omar Mateen entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where he killed 49 people and wounded 53 others. AP now reports that Biden plans to name the nightclub as a national memorial standing for all targeted gay victims of gun violence – which outraged reporter Glenn Greenwald, who believes in facts. We’ve known for years now why Mateen shot up the Pulse nightclub: He was committing a religious jihad. His goal was to shoot up a nightclub – any nightclub – as revenge for American airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Facts make it clear that he...

    Charles and Hannah Scarbrough sentenced in OcalaA married couple has pleaded guilty to using doughnuts and pastries to lure black bears in rural Florida, allowing packs of dogs to attack them and then posting the gruesome videos on social media. Charles Scarbrough entered guilty pleas of conspiracy to commit racketeering, animal baiting and fighting, unlawful use of a two-way communicating device and unlawful taking of a black bear, the Ocala Star Banner reports. He has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Because of that, sentencing was deferred, though he faces anywhere from five years of probation to more than two years...

    Your “application for unemployment benefits has been approved,” stated the letter from the Illinois unemployment bureau a few weeks back. That was perplexing, since I never applied and wasn’t unemployed. So I immediately told my (part-time) employer and the state unemployment agency. Turns out somebody had stolen my personal information – again. [Insert grimace emoji here.] Since this was the third time I’d been a victim of identity theft and fraud, I was steamed and wanted to know how thieves kept getting my information and conducted their grifting. If I knew where they got my information, maybe I could change...
