Old-fashioned socialist and founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab, sat down with CGTN’s Tian Wei during the APEC CEO Summit in Thailand. During the course of their discussion, Schwab was questioned about whether or not the leaders of the world were able to reach an agreement in order to forward their globalist agenda. “Among the G20, you were there meeting some of the leaders as well. Professor Schwab, what do you make up the result? Finally, they put something as a statement, and it seems quite positive with all the voices included,” Wei said. “I think it’s...

Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) argued on Monday that lawmakers should avoid focusing on “hyperpartisan” investigations, including a potential probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings, for at least the first six months of the new Congress. Santos told Fox News’s Sandra Smith on Monday that he wants no part of divisive investigations into the president’s son, the origins of COVID-19, Big Tech censorship, the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, the Justice Department’s memo on outspoken parents at school board meetings, or the crisis at the southern border. Instead, Santos said that he wants to focus on issues such as energy independence and...

According to prosecutors, Ryan Sawyer Mays was a young, arrogant sailor angry about being assigned to deck duty after failing to become a Navy SEAL — and he made the Navy pay in a big way. But the prosecution has presented no physical evidence proving that Mays, 21, set the USS Bonhomme Richard on fire, a fact defense lawyers plan to highlight at the sailor’s court martial that is scheduled to start Monday at Naval Base San Diego. The July 2020 blaze burned for nearly five days and sent an acrid smoke over San Diego, damaging the amphibious assault ship...

A high-profile Washington, D.C. conservative pundit exploded in anger during a podcast interview he was conducting when his guest suggested that the burgeoning conservative Christian nationalist movement would inevitably push for the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage. After asserting that Dave Rubin’s gay “marriage” is something “beautiful,” Ben Domenech, a Fox News contributor and founder and former publisher of The Federalist, lashed out at his guest, National Conservatism movement leader Yoram Hazony, who had said that “gay marriage is already back on the table,” ripe for a revitalized national public debate. Domenech, showing...

"The BBC action-adventure show ‘Doctor Who’ has been around for almost 60 years. From the first episode, which aired November 23, 1963, with William Hartnell as the lead character, it was originally aimed straight at children with no curve-balls other than the character being an alien (Time Lord) who protects Earth and regenerates into a new body which retains all of its memories when he is injured enough to trigger the transformation (which was used to cover for actors being replaced). Until December 26, 2017, when Peter Capaldi’s last episode ended, The Doctor had always been played by a white...

Oz believes same sex couples should have the same freedom to get married as straight couples.

It’s one of the worst betrayals conservatives have ever suffered at the hands of the Republican Party.On Tuesday, the House passed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act with a stunning 47 Republican votes and the blessing of GOP House leaders, and the bill is now rapidly gaining traction with Republicans in the Senate, shocking even Democrats and the liberal media.

Jaren Thompson won’t play the school district’s game. The veteran teacher told the Board of Education he’s walking away from the classroom because he can’t support woke gender policies. Some have been in place for several years. Thompson is a devout man and cited several recent court cases to bolster his position. Cases the school’s lawyers have likely also followed and noted. Thompson explained at a Monday board meeting that also he can’t violate biological science and then teach that there are multiple genders in order to appease confused students.

"Don’t worry,” we were told in school, around the turn of the millennium. “They’re more afraid of you than you are of them.” A useful reassurance if you’re talking about spiders, but the subject in question here? Lesbians. This well-intentioned but clumsy incident fits into a broader pattern of regressive messaging in schools at the time. In other girls’ schools, you might have a piece of Sellotape pressed against various arms, then held up once it lost its adhesive power. The sullied piece of tape was a reminder to ‘save yourself’ for (heterosexual) marriage. Cut to the 2020s, with Progress...
