More than half a million voters in the Democratic presidential primaries have voted 'uncommitted' rather than cast ballots for President Biden in a move that sets of alarms for the president ahead of what is expected to be an extremely close general election. The movement to get Democrats to vote 'uncommitted' will send at least 36 'uncommitted' delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August from nine states so far, according to tracking by the Associated Press. On Tuesday, New Jersey voters chose to send one uncommitted delegate to the convention from their primary. More than 42,000 voters...

Stanford University police arrested 13 pro-Palestinian protesters Wednesday who entered the president’s office early in the morning and, the university said, caused extensive damage in the building and injured one of the officers trying to clear the building. Outside, protesters graffitied the stone walls with swear words and death threats against police, America and Israel. On the last day of spring instruction at Stanford, university officials then wasted no time in dismantling a pro-Palestinian encampment on nearby White Plaza, removing tents that had been up since April. They also removed an adjacent pro-Israel display featuring chairs with the names of...

France has a long history of citizens butting heads with the government, and it looks like they're starting to run out of ways for how that can manifest itself. That's because right now, people are upset with a $1.5 billion plan to clean up the River Seine ahead of the Paris Olympics so that it can be used for long-distance swimming events like in 1900. So, how are they planning on protesting? Well, if you guessed an organized effort to all rip deuces in the Seine on the day that the President of France and Mayor of Paris said they'd...

The activists demanded an array of higher spending, including an additional $109 million for free legal services for immigrants, $5 million for language services, $25 million in support for two city programs for illegal aliens, and an end to policies...

It’s curious that, as parents around the country unite against the wicked “trans” agenda directed toward our kids, quite a few are willing to accommodate homosexual identities. “I have no problem with someone who’s gay,” I heard one mom say. “It’s the gender mutilation that we need to fight.” Agreed, that needs to stop, but doesn’t she understand that the fight to normalize “LG” and “B” is where the push for “T” began? They are intimately connected and that’s why they stand in unity: “LGBTQ.”

House staffers are going to gather on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon to protest the chamber’s override vote of President Joe Biden’s halting of a shipment of arms to Israel. They’re also being told to cover their faces with masks and to “remove identifiable clothing” in fear they will be identified. Staff are being encouraged to hide their staff IDs as well. An anonymous organizer with the “M” moniker told the Washington Examiner why protesters were protecting their identities. “We understand there is an inherent risk in speaking out, which is why we are encouraging staff to remove identifiable clothing and...

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — 74-year-old peaceful pro-life advocate Jean Marshall was sentenced by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to 15 more months in prison on Wednesday and denied a request to serve the rest of her sentence in home confinement due to health issues, including debilitating osteoarthritis in both hips. Marshall is one of several pro-lifers convicted over blocking access to a scandal-plagued late-term abortion facility in the nation’s capital, in a case criticized by pro-life leaders as an egregious example of Biden administration overreach. On August 29, 2023, a D.C. jury found Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty,...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Sunday dinged Hillary Clinton for being “quite dismissive” in recent comments questioning the knowledge and perspective of anti-Israeli protesters who have stormed college campuses across the country. Last week, Clinton went on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and derided some of the protesters saying they “don’t know very much at all about the history of the Middle East or frankly about history in many areas of the world.” Van Hollen (D-Md.) contended that many of the student demonstrators had legitimate concerns about the Israel-Hamas war unfolding half a world away. “I thought…that Secretary Clinton’s comments, in that...

Some Morehouse College students aren’t looking forward to hearing President Biden speak at their graduation ceremony later this month. Several gathered at the men's HBCU (Historically black colleges and universities) on Wednesday to call out the school’s decision to invite Biden, calling it purely political. "The general feeling on the ground is that we don’t want him here," a student named Malik told WSB-TV in Atlanta. "It’s very obvious that we’re being used to score political points and get more Black votes. It is so obvious that it’s just about the presidential campaign." The students’ issues with Biden speaking ranged...

Pro-Hamas activists need to nix blocking traffic for their shenanigans when they’re in Florida. The police in the Sunshine State won’t stand for it.

A prominent anti-Hamas activist was arrested for racism after eating a banana during a pro-Palestine protest. Niyak Ghorbani was accused of making a racist gesture with the banana while standing with counter protesters in central London last Saturday. The 38-year-old Iranian dissident, who has become a familiar figure for holding a “Hamas Are Terrorists” banner at counter protests, denies he was being racist and insists he was simply eating the fruit. He was referencing recent events on American campuses in which bananas were used to taunt pro-Palestinian protesters. Mr Gohrbani was handcuffed and led away by five officers after pro-Palestine...

Fox News Senior National Correspondent William LaJeunesse joined Special Report Friday to report on increasing radical student recruitment efforts present at anti-Israel protests on college campuses nationwide. "Armed struggle is enshrined in law," showed one confiscated pamphlet. Another, "We are not satisfied with co-existence." Going beyond extremist and violent rhetoric, weapons were discovered. Chains, steel cables and buckets of rocks were found and subsequently confiscated by authorities at UT Austin demonstrations last month. More documents obtained by Fox News purportedly "celebrat[e] the death of innocent Jews and the elimination of Israel." Of 79 arrested at UT Austin, 45 were not...
