I'm not a fan of the "even was FORCED to report " types of stories.
Sure, these outlets are biased and often push hoaxes, but there is something kinda icky about saying they were "forced" to report something. As snide and cynical as I am, even I believe that when their ideological lenses get taken off at times they see reality.
Or not. In any case, we should take our wins when they come, and this one certainly fits the "win" category. NPR ran a story from Iraq's border with Iran, in which the reporter interviewed Iranians
William Shakespeake's birthplace will be de-colonised over fears that portraying his success as the "greatest" playwright "benefits the ideology of white European supremacy." Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust owns buildings in the playwright's hometown of Stratford-on-Avon. (snip) The trust also said some of its items could be contain language or depictions that are racist, sexist, or homophobic. (snip) Some productions of his works have been slapped with trigger warnings for misogyny, racism and "problematic radicalised dynamics" that link whiteness to beauty. (snip) In 2022 (snip) Dr. Helen Hopkins (snip) postulated that the idea of Shakespeare's "universal" genius "benefits the ideology of white European supremacy."
Steve Hilton, the leading candidate for governor despite his status as an unapologetic Republican in blue California, called it a perfect metaphor for the state's spate of recent failures. (snip) the University of Southern California abruptly canceled its televised gubernatorial debate last Monday (snip) Those invited included (snip) Steve Hilton (snip), Chad Bianco (snip), Rep. Eric Swalwell, (snip) Katie Porter, (snip) Tom Steyer and (snip) Matt Mahan. (snip) Under California's "top two" primary system, only the two candidates with the most votes regardless of party, will advance to the general election. Democrats are deeply concerned that Hilton and Bianco are poised to do so (snip.)
It has been a few days since an Illinois Democrat has pulled a cheap political stunt that essentially mocks the murder last week of 18-year-old college student Sheridan Gorman, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien, so Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson decided to step up and fill the void.
In an unbelievably cruel and tone-deaf maneuver, Johnson on Wednesday held a big press conference to gleefully unveil a new city snowplow that will be clearing city streets while bearing a sign reading, "Abolish ICE," which is apparently the winning entry of a plow-naming contest.
"This name derives from our city’s legacy of standing up for justice, dignity,
This is a huge win for President Trump and the American people. All those activist judges just got a good ol’ fashioned spanking by a higher court(snip).This fight was about whether ICE can keep illegals detained while deportation proceedings are underway or whether lower-court judges can keep stepping in to give them bond hearings and release them back into the country.Judges in Minnesota have been siding with the illegals,
The “tolerant” left is at it again, and this time, it’s coming from the “Golden Years” crowd.
Two elderly leftists in Arlington Heights, Illinois, have been arrested and charged after a months-long investigation into the disgusting vandalism of the Republicans of Wheeling Township headquarters.
According to the Arlington Heights Police Department, 72-year-old Brock McNerney and 69-year-old Moisette McNerney were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the defacement of the headquarters last January.
The pair now face misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property and criminal defacement of property under Illinois law.

In another devastating blow to the Democrats’ endless claims that there’s no election fraud, a Minnesota election judge has now pleaded guilty to a felony for deliberately allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots on Election Day.
Timothy Michael Scouton, 65, of Nevis, Minnesota, the head election judge in rural Badoura Township, Hubbard County, admitted in court on Monday that he allowed 11 unregistered individuals to vote without meeting the most basic legal requirements.
Scouton was responsible for ensuring that all voting procedures complied with Minnesota law.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso delivered a blistering floor speech Tuesday, exposing the Democrat Party’s priorities during the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
While roughly 50,000 TSA agents are required to work without pay, causing massive airport delays and forcing hundreds to quit, Democrats are laser-focused on protecting illegal aliens.
Barrasso played a clip of Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy admitting on live television, “The people we care most about… are the undocumented.” He explained that the Democrat strategy for over 30 years has been to make undocumented immigrants citizens.
President Trump was right to say that the U.S. and our allies faced an "imminent threat" from Iran.
I can now report, based on former Iranian intelligence sources with personal knowledge of the inner workings of the Supreme Leader's office, that February 28 was the final meeting of a core group of Iranian decision-makers to determine the fate of Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program.
Since the June 2025 strikes on Iran's nuclear weapons enrichment and production facilities had failed to eliminate the 460 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, top Iranian security officials were debating whether to weaponize that stockpile into nuclear warheads. The group had been meeting regularly under the auspices
Orange man is sooooo bad that Foreign Policy Magazine's columnist and (of course) Columbia University Professor Howard French argues that America should lose the war to Iran.
No, I am not kidding. It's not that French is arguing that Iran is the good guy. He concedes that they are not. It's just that America under Trump is so, so horribly bad that his winning the war is unthinkable.
Better that a regime that murders its citizens by the gross, rapes and mutilates young women for not wearing a hijab, and that executes people for being gay survive than have Donald Trump be the author of its demise.
As an effort to end a war, the effort to negotiate with Iran already appears to have as little value as negotiations did before it began. As an effort to delay escalation until appropriate assets arrive in the theater, the five-day delay on Donald Trump's ultimatum on Hormuz traffic looks valuable indeed.
Through indirect channels, the US has sent the Iranian regime a 15-point plan to end the current conflict. The Wall Street Journal summarizes it as essentially the US position before the war, along with a demand to allow traffic to resume unmolested through the Strait of Hormuz. That means no enrichment, dismantling
Old and busted: Sophie's Choice. New nuclear hotness: Barack's Choice – brought to you by the New York Times.
The Paper of Record reported on Monday about efforts to build an oral history of the Obama presidency, split between Columbia University (with Obama's cooperation) and the traditional repository at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. Peter Baker's lengthy report leads with the story behind Joe Biden's decision not to run for president in 2016, as well as a vague allegation about racism in the GOP toward Obama. That leads to another revelation that certainly seems a lot more newsworthy
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will soon declassify a top secret document related to Trump’s first impeachment that then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff locked away in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] for years. Per investigative reporter Paul Sperry: “I’m told Trump intel czar Tulsi Gabbard will soon declassify an explosive top-secret document former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff locked away in a Capitol SCIF several years ago and wouldn’t let even members of Congress see…”
A flyer with a classic Brooklyn accent is going viral after saying ICE agents at airports were just there to help and “not bothering nobody” as unbearably long lines continued to snake around terminals Wednesday. Brooklyn resident Chris Scali’s brief interview with News 12 quickly went viral after he shrugged off lefty criticism of the federal agents’ presence at Newark Liberty International Airport this week.

This Story Is Nuts. replies
This story is wild. I’ll leave this here for y’all to comment below, but apparently, former National Counterterrorism Center head Joe Kent offered to testify in the trial of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, for the defense. Michael Shellenberger of Public wrote a post about these allegations, specifically that Kent felt the FBI didn’t properly investigate the crime, believed there was a “foreign nexus,” and yes, Israel was part of this crazy story, although Kent couldn’t provide anything conclusive. He also claimed he was blocked from investigating this matter further, which is reportedly bunk since his agency had no authority to analyze what had been collected
Iran is ramping up its threats as negotiations to end the war appear to be faltering and a U.S. ground operation becomes more likely.
Iranian state media outlet Tasnim News Agency, citing a "military source," indicated that Tehran was prepared to close the Bab al Mandeb, a critical waterway linking the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea, in the event of a U.S. ground op.
“If the enemy wants to take action on land in the Iranian islands or anywhere else in our lands or to inflict costs on Iran with naval movements in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman,

Airline passengers are experiencing some of the highest security wait times in the 25-year-history of the Transportation Security Administration — with some taking more than four-and-a-half hours to make it through checkpoints, a top official told Congress Wednesday.
TSA acting administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill testified to the House Homeland Security Committee that her beleaguered agency is “being forced to consolidate” and “may have to close smaller airports if we do not have enough officers.”
“It is a fluid, challenging and unpredictable situation. We understand this is frustrating and disruptive,” she added. “This is unacceptable.”
Florida Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is in a heap of legal trouble. Last fall, she was indicted for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA funds, with court records showing that Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother, Edwin McCormick receiving the FEMA funds as part of a COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. The $5 million was an overpayment of those FEMA funds, and the indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to steal it by routing it through multiple accounts.
The Miami Herald reported that Cherfilus-McCormick spent the money on a $109,000 three-carat yellow diamond ring, as well as $2.4 million to Cherfilus-McCormick's consulting company,
My daughter Katie was killed by a man who should never have been here.
On January 19, 2025, an illegal immigrant drunk driver slammed into the car she was riding in at nearly 80 miles per hour. The impact killed her.
Her name was Katie Abraham.
She was my youngest daughter. She loved the water, loved music, and had the kind of joy that filled every room she entered. She had dreams, plans, and a life that should still be unfolding today.
Instead, her life ended on an Illinois roadway because of policies our leaders insist are both compassionate and moral.
A Venezuelan national is suing the United States after he was one of hundreds of people deported to El Salvador last year.
In March 2025, President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to remove roughly 250 Venezuelan men to El Salvador, even when a federal judge attempted to stop the flights. Under a deal with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, the men were sent to the country’s CECOT mega-prison and held without trial.
Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel’s lawsuit claims he came to the United States legally as an asylum seeker and was waiting for an immigration hearing. He was “seeking to do everything by the book,”
Democrats Just Can't Let This Go
replies
For some reason, Democrats are still trying to use their politically-motivated investigations into President Donald Trump to score cheap political points against their opponents.
The barrage of prosecution efforts failed to achieve their intended purpose: To ensure Trump didn’t win the 2024 election. But folks like Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) still can’t let go of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into the president.
This time, it involves the classified document case that resulted in the raid of Trump’s home in 2022. Raskin sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi accusing Trump of stealing highly sensitive classified documents when he left office after the 2020 election.
CNN on Wednesday interviewed a TSA union representative who blasted Congress for failing to reach a funding deal for the Department of Homeland Security, leaving TSA agents and other federal employees without pay for more than 40 days.
The representative described how she and her colleagues are scraping by, skipping meals, stretching every dollar, and explained why many TSA agents are no longer showing up for work. [Tweet, video]
"My in-laws also work for the agency. So even the people that we could have probably asked for some sort of money or some sort of help, they're also on the same position where they cannot help,"
Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old student attending Loyola University, was walking along Lake Michigan with some friends last Thursday just after 1:00 a.m. in the sanctuary city of Chicago, which is located in the sanctuary state of Illinois, when an animal from Venezuela, who snuck into the country illegally during Joe President's single term, decided to shoot her in the head, killing her on the spot. (Snip) This latest murder got me thinking: How many Americans have illegal immigrants killed thus far this year? Unfortunately, the answer is almost impossible to determine, and that isn't an accident.
Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill.) theatrically laid flowers at a street memorial for domestic terrorists Alex Pretti and Renee Good, both killed while illegally and violently interfering with federal immigration operations. And the father of a young woman killed by an illegal alien criminal is disgusted at Pritzker's fake and politically fueled posturing.
A drunk illegal alien from Guatemala killed 20-year-old Katie Abraham in a hit-and-run in January 2025. Abraham and her friend Chloe were at a stop light when the Guatemalan crashed into their vehicle and fatally injured both girls. Katie's father appealed to Pritzker, as the state's governor, to help bring public attention to Katie's tragic death,
