A Walmart Deli worker has qualified for the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon. Hurdler Dylan Beard qualified for the Olympic trials after placing first in the 60m hurdles at the Millrose Games in February. Unlike other Olympic athletes who train full-time and are sponsored, Beard is not sponsored yet and supports himself by working as a deli worker at Walmart. Beard’s Walmart manager, David Davis, shared, “Dylan’s work ethic is next level. He provides excellent customer service all the time. He goes above and beyond, just like he does on the track.”

Good for him!! Good luck, Dylan!!

A group of federal judges has announced a boycott of Columbia University, citing concerns over the institution’s handling of recent campus disruptions and allegations of fostering anti-semitism. The judges, who hire law clerks annually, expressed their loss of confidence in Columbia University following the aftermath of the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas. The university, once renowned for its academic excellence, has now been labeled by the judges as ground zero “for the explosion of student disruptions, antisemitism, and hatred for diverse viewpoints.” In a letter addressed to Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, the judges expressed their dissatisfaction with the university’s handling of recent campus events.

A group of Republican senators has issued a stern warning to Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), over potential arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials. The proposed warrants are reportedly connected to allegations of war crimes during the recent Israeli-Hamas conflict. The ICC, headquartered in The Hague, is said to be nearing the decision despite Israel’s non-membership and non-recognition of the court. Since the Palestinian territories were admitted as a member state in 2015, the ICC has asserted jurisdiction over alleged war crimes committed by both Hamas and Israeli forces in Gaza.

It is no secret that far left Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff uses sleazy tactics to go after his political opponents. While most members of Congress usually skate on ethics charges, or receive light penalties, once in a great while their behavior is so overtly criminal that they end up prosecuted. Although Democrats are far more likely to use lawfare against Republicans than vice versa, when the behavior is so criminal, even Democrats — such as New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez who is being prosecuted for bribery — can’t escape justice. Schiff is getting dangerously close to this stage. When he became chair of the House Intelligence Committee in 2019,

Hamas terrorists claimed credit for a rocket attack on Sunday targeting the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and Gaza near the Egyptian border, the main entry point for humanitarian aid headed into the enclave. [Tweet] Photos taken just after the attack show clouds of black smoke rising from the port of entry used to ensure weapons and other terrorist supplies don't make it into Gaza.

“Never interfere with an enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself.” Attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte I have read that Georgia Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene plans to enact a plan to oust the current Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Yeah, I was not pleased with the Omnibus spending bill, the FISA long-term reauthorization, or the lack of emphasis on our border security. However, I would advise Rep. Greene to take heed of the aforementioned quote attributed to French military leader Napoleon. At this time, why would anyone with common sense and a sense of strategic engagement want to distract from the apparent implosion of the progressive socialist left?

The man who might be the most important witness to Donald Trump's defense in Manhattan has been effectively silenced, much like the defendant himself. Now why would that be? Advertisement Prosecutors in the "Get Trump" case in Manhattan allege that Trump's nondisclosure agreement payments to two women shaking him down for money were actually federal campaign expenditures. The bookkeeping error they claim Trump made — misdemeanors if they're charged at all — are now, they argue, felonies because Trump did it in furtherance of stealing the 2016 election. Hillary said so. So if you're Trump's attorneys, you might say "Hey, let's get that attorney guy, the former Federal Elections Commission Chairman,

“I know liberals say, ‘Don’t say Joe Biden is old,'" comedian Jon Stewart quipped to a Los Angeles crowd during a stand-up performance streamed on Netflix this weekend. "I know you don’t want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he’s so f*****g old … when you watch him on television, you’re nervous, aren’t ya?” “I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president." For those keeping count at home, Stewart's one joke — if you want to call it that but it really wasn't a joke — contained two nods to the tender sensibilities of Los Angelenos.

On Sunday mornings, millions of faithful Christians gather in churches across the country to worship and serve. Many churches even call their worship areas sanctuaries, so it’s easy to believe that if anyone should feel safe and secure in public, it’s at church. Unfortunately, we know that evil is rampant in this world, which makes pastors and congregations vulnerable. A recent story out of the Pittsburgh area demonstrates this sad reality. “A man is facing charges after Pennsylvania State Police say he tried to shoot a pastor who was giving a sermon at a church in North Braddock,” reports WPXI.

HOUSTON, Texas — A high school which published a yearbook with a page dismissing the October 7 terror attack on Israel says it will print a new version without the page. In the email to parents of students at Bellaire High School, principal Michael Niggli said he was “surprised by the content” — which dismissed the attack which claimed the lives of 1,200 and resulted in over 240 hostages being taken — as “what happened, happened.” Of those hostages, 128 remain in captivity, according to Israel. Niggli also said the school will be “enforcing new editorial protocols,” to ensure something similar doesn’t happen again in the email, sent Sunday.

California lawmakers are considering a bill that would give preference to African American applicants seeking occupational licenses, for such professions as teaching, nursing, counseling, electrical work and others, especially those who are descendants of slaves. (snip) Under current law, only veterans are eligible for such prioritization. Mr. Gipson argued in the analysis that if such priority can be granted to veterans, similar standards should be applicable to African-American applicants.

American men are opting out of the workforce at unforeseen rates. For many, it's not an issue of not being able to find a job. They have simply opted out altogether. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found only 89 percent of working age men have a job or are actively looking for work. In 1950, that number was at 97 percent. While the early 1950s saw around 96 percent of working age American men between the ages of 25 and 54 working full or part-time jobs, that proportion has now moved to just 86 percent, according to the Bureau of

While Democrats may have hoped that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump would hurt his 2024 campaign, recent polling shows the proceedings have failed to seriously impact the president’s chances. Trump will enter his fourth week of the New York trial on Monday, where he faces 34 felony counts related to allegedly falsifying business records when reimbursing a payment to pornstar Stormy Daniels in 2016. Several polls released since the start of jury selection on April 15 have found that a potential conviction won’t deter voters from supporting Trump in November. Moreover, individuals nationwide say they don’t believe the former president acted illegally

The pro-Palestinian, antisemitic protests on university campuses across the nation are funded by President Joe Biden’s own political donors — which could explain why he hesitates to condemn them and won’t investigate them. Biden equivocated last month when asked to react to the protests, saying that he condemned the antisemitism but also condemned those “who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians,” which puzzled observers. Research by NGO Monitor and others into the donors behind the protests has turned up familiar names from the Democratic Party bankroll — including George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and other liberal philanthropies.
