Isn't it funny how the Democratic Party is so quick to condemn "white supremacists" and call everything "racist"? In contrast, they are the ones who are actually dividing America further with their race-based agenda. The largest newspaper company in the country, Gannett, is being sued for allegedly discriminating toward white employees in efforts to diversify its offices. Last week, the proposed class action was filed in a Virginia federal court by five current and former Gannett employees who say they were fired or overlooked for promotions to make room for less-qualified women and minorities. The company's "Reverse Race Discrimination Policy"...

U.S. — A new USA Today poll has found that an overwhelming majority of Democrats are in favor of welcoming immigrants from Central and South America into other people's neighborhoods. The study showed that Democrats are very pro-immigration as long as the immigration is to areas very far away from themselves. "We found that 92% of liberal Americans are 'strongly in favor' of as many immigrants as possible moving into the country, as long as they never have to see them or deal with them in person," said the study's lead researcher, Dr. Henry Bollickson. "When we posed the question...

USA Today is raising the eco-warrior cry over the new “battleground” in the fight against the climate bogeyman: Americans’ lawns. No, we’re not kidding. The liberal newspaper doom mongered how “[g]as leaf blowers and lawn mowers are shockingly bad for the planet” and praised how “[b]ans are beginning to spread.” USA Today immediately kicked off its nutty April 30 climate agitprop by making it seem like the fight against lawnmowers was a noble crusade against Thanos’ minions in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame (2019): “Your lawn may be the next climate change battleground. And parks. And playgrounds.” The newspaper ludicrously propagandized that...

Antony Blinken represents neither the beginning nor the end of the info ops run to convince voters the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Revisiting the contemporaneous coverage of the laptop story in light of last week’s revelations about Blinken reveals the scandal extends far beyond the Biden campaign and involves government agents. Last week, news broke that a former top CIA official, Michael Morell, testified as part of a House Judiciary Committee investigation that Blinken, now-secretary of state and then-Biden campaign senior adviser, had contacted Morell to discuss the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story. Blinken and Morell...

The New York Times and USA Today complied with radical gender ideology by apologizing for correctly identifying the Nashville Christian School shooting suspect as a woman. Soon after the shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School on Monday, in which three students and three adults were shot and killed, police identified the suspected shooter as 28-year-old Audrey Hale. A little while later, officials stated that Hale, who was killed by police during the attack, identified as transgender — meaning Hale allegedly believed she was a man. Following the revelation that Audrey was a woman who identified as a man, both USA Today...

The insult against women continues as USA Today chose to honor a man as one of their “women of the year.” This time, biological male, state representative Leigh Finke who “transitioned” in 2017 made the short list of so-called heroic women. Finke was only elected last November but has been described as an activist for BLM and LGBTQ causes. The Gateway Pundit reported on her historic win back in November. Alongside Leigh were actual women such as Michelle Obama, and astronaut Colonel Nicole Mann. The intentional destruction and erasure of women is nothing new in this country. In 2015 Caitlyn...

There is no truth to the claim that scientists at CERN are communicating with demonic entities and using the collider to open up a portal to hell, Dejan Stojkovic, a physics professor at the University of Buffalo, told USA TODAY in an email. “To create a black hole or a wormhole, even microscopic ones, with our current technology, in the context of our standard theories of gravity, we need an accelerator as big as the whole universe,” Stojkovic said. “So there is no chance whatsoever to create such a portal at the [Large Hadron Collider].” The collider uses a strong...

ELDERON − A 79-year-old man police say was the target of a robbery early Tuesday morning shot and killed his attacker. At 2:37 a.m. Tuesday, a resident of Elderon, which is about 30 miles southeast of Wausau, reported he was assaulted and stabbed as he got out of his vehicle in his garage, according to the Marathon County Sheriff's Office. Officials believe the suspected attacker followed the man home from a local establishment. The 79-year-old man had a gun and fired one shot that hit the suspect, before the suspect wrestled the gun away from him. The suspect, who had...

A USA Today/Associated Press column published Thursday suggests lawmakers struggling to get traction on gun control may want to redirect their energies toward “bullet regulation.” Jeanine Santucci writes in USA Today, “Government leaders calling for reform say bullet regulation – including through the recording of sales, licensing of dealers or background checks – is necessary in the ongoing battle to curb mass shootings.” She notes: The Giffords group and other gun regulation advocates also propose that ammunition sellers be required to maintain records of their sales, and make the information available to law enforcement, as New Jersey will soon enact....

President Joe Biden said Thursday that he intends to soon visit Africa and called for the African Union to be admitted as a permanent member of the Group of 20 nations that lead the world's largest economies. The moves reflect the Biden administration's work to strengthen ties in sub-Saharan-Africa and regain trust amid growing influence from China and Russia in the region.

A new national poll suggests Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida topping Democratic President Biden in a hypothetical 2024 presidential election matchup. However, the same poll suggests that Biden leads former President Trump. The survey from the Suffolk University and USA Today also indicates that Republican voters would prefer DeSantis over Trump as their standard-bearer in 2024 by double digits. …

GOP backing for former President Donald Trump’s third consecutive White House bid has fallen apart over the past several months, with most Republican voters saying they’d prefer another candidate to carry on his policies in 2024, according to a poll released Tuesday. ​ While 31% of Republican and Republican-leaning independents want Trump, 76, to run again in two years, 61% say they would rather have another GOP standard-bearer, the USA Today/Suffolk University survey found. ​ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 44, is their preferred choice. DeSantis, who cruised to re-election Nov. ​8, leads Trump by 23 percentage points — 56% to...
