ATLANTA — Hundreds of activists breached the site of a proposed police and fire training center in Atlanta’s wooded outskirts on Sunday, burning police and construction vehicles and a trailer, and setting off fireworks at officers stationed nearby. The destruction occurred on the second day of what is supposed to be a weeklong series of demonstrations to protest what the activists have derided as Cop City, a planned 85-acre campus owned by the city.

President Biden on Sunday remarked that he was involved in the civil rights movement during a speech in Selma, Alabama – a claim that remains unproven. The president visited the historic city to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march, a pivotal moment of the 1960s civil rights movement. "I was a student up north in the civil rights movement," Biden said to the crowd. "I remember feeling how guilty I was, [that] I wasn't here. How could we all be up there, and you going through what you went through," he continued. But there is no historical evidence

New York City’s Department of Education (NYCDOE) is currently investigating racist, anti-white text messages that were allegedly sent by Marion Wilson, the black superintendent for schools in District 31. According to the New York Post, screenshots of the offensive text messages were forwarded by email to chancellor David Banks and other officials from an encrypted email address, Mikeboy70@protonmail. It’s not clear who’s behind the account, as the owner has reportedly refused to reply to requests for information from the Post and other outlets. It is clear though that the text messages are quite disturbing. “I need to clean up this Island. White folks need to recognize this is not the boys club anymore.

Ron DeSantis attributed his success to not getting held 'captive to polls' and avoiding leaks as he went on the offense against California Gov. Gavin Newsom on his home-turf in 'anti-woke' remarks that have become his signature. Florida Gov. DeSantis' remarks on Sunday took aim at policies enacted by California and other liberal states that he claims have led to the hemorrhaging of residents who have migrated to the Sunshine State. 'I know you've got a lot of problems out here, but your governor is very concerned about what we are doing in Florida so I figured I had to come by,'

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” in a preview of an interview with network White House correspondent Arlette Saenz, first lady Jill Biden criticized Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s call for politicians over 75 years old to take mental competency tests. Saenz said, “Nikki Haley, one of the Republican candidates, is calling for mental competency tests for those politicians over the age of 75. What do you think about that?” Biden said, “It’s ridiculous.” Saenz asked, “Would your husband ever take one of those?” Biden said, “I mean, we haven’t even discussed — we would never even discuss something like that.”

A 25-year-old migrant who posed as a minor to illegally cross the border was sentenced to 60 years for killing the father of four who took him in. Yery Noel Medina Ulloa of Honduras pleaded guilty Friday in Florida to stabbing Francisco Javier Cuellar, 46, to death in 2021 — days after the Florida man took the illegal migrant into his care. “As we have seen time and time again, the federal government’s failure to secure our nation’s border has led to a travesty in a local community,” State Attorney Melissa Nelson said in a statement. “This time, tragically, it was our community after an illegal alien murdered an innocent man.

The nation watches in horror as Joe Biden pretends to be capable of being president of the United States, and behind the shell of a man is a woman: Jill Biden, who most certainly knows better than anyone that Joe Biden is many fries short of a Happy Meal® but pushes her husband along, away from the occasionally inquisitive media that dares to think that the president of the United States should be able to answer a few simple questions. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, the notorious doctor/teacher Jill Biden blasted Nikki Haley over her idea that politicians over 75 years old be required to take

Is Pete Buttigieg salvageable? More than any other cabinet member in recent memory, Joe Biden’s transportation secretary has been outed as someone out of his depth and entirely clueless when it comes to the weighty responsibilities of his office. “He’s not ready for the responsibility he has. He was a fine mayor, from what I understand, but the position he’s got really would be better served by a person who’s managed a large enterprise, a state, or something of the scale he’s now dealing with,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). How has Pete Buttigieg fulfilled Romney’s characterization of him? Let us count the ways: A major-league clusterfark of the supply chain

Joe Biden will almost certainly not attend the coronation of King Charles III. The official reason is that he is making a trip to Ireland that simply can’t be canceled. The media have focused on two reasons he won’t be there: (1) Eisenhower didn’t attend so there’s no tradition for presidents to attend, and (2) Biden hates the British. I think there are two more likely reasons: (1) Charles III’s coronation is an event without cachet, and (2) it’s impossible for Biden to withstand the rigors of the long coronation ceremony and any pre- and post-ceremony events. Indeed, my money is on the last reason being the real reason.

Brushing aside his recent electoral struggles, former President Donald Trump’s loyal band of supporters are hankering to go back to the future in the 2024 election, saying American voters now know how good they had it and what they’ve been missing. Mr. Trump’s third quest for the presidency is testing whether the adulation of his supporters extends to a broader audience or whether it has siloed them off from the majority of voters, who might not be able to stomach the idea of another Trump presidency.

This is the moment Vladimir Putin's gymnast 'lover' admits in a TV interview he is her 'ideal man' - as new photographs show the luxury forest estate where she reportedly lives with their secret children. Alina Kabaeva, 39, is said to live with the Russian president at a secret forest palace guarded by the elite FSO security service in Valdai - 250 miles north west of Moscow. The pair have never acknowledged a relationship, but are suspected to have at least two children together. Fifteen years ago this month she was interviewed on TV by schoolchildren and while not mentioning him by name - as the dictator has never

Formerly incarcerated felons in Minnesota will now be able to vote after a new law restoring their rights was signed by the state's governor. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bill on Friday which gives convicted felons who have completed their jail time the right to vote. Now, 55,000 individuals who were previously deprived of those rights can register to vote, the most significant expansion of that right in Minnesota in a half-century, according to the governor's office.

An illegal immigrant violently assaulted a female border patrol agency while she was making an arrest, U.S. Customs and Border Protection sources say. The agent, who remains unidentified, was taking a male illegal immigrant into custody on Saturday when he attacked her, injuring her face and arms, the CBP told Fox News Digital. The agent was able to struggle with the culprit until backup arrived, and the man was subdued. "On March 4, 2023, at approximately 4:00 a.m., a U.S. Border Patrol agent assigned to the Tucson Sector took a subject into custody near Foudy Road and State Route 92, after investigating the subject’s illegal entry into the U.S.

Speaking at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin outlined what he believes to be the exact reason that Republicans “did not earn a red way nationally.” “When your high paid political consultant tells you not to go to a heavily Democratic area, that’s exactly where we need to show up and earn the support of these Democrats. We cannot relinquish the cities, we cannot relinquish the suburbs,” he said. “We cannot relinquish anything to the Democrats and if we’re on offense confidently, that will be the path for us to earn a red wave. Because in 2022, we did not earn a red wave nationally. In ‘24,

Former Republican governor Larry Hogan announced Sunday that he won’t run for president in 2024. Hogan framed his choice as as a self-sacrificial strategy to prevent former president Trump from securing the nomination. Urging the party to break-up with MAGA, Hogan said he was removing himself from the potential competition so as to avoid vote splitting among various GOP rivals and handing Trump the plurality. “To once again be a successful governing party, we must move on from Donald Trump. There are several competent Republican leaders who have the potential to step up and lead,” Hogan wrote in a statement. “But the stakes are too high

Biden Transportation Secretary Pete “I’m Taking Some Personal Time” Buttigieg, in an interview with CNN published Sunday, lashed out critics of his handling of the toxic train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio last month, swearing and accusing them of being out of touch East Coast elites as he defended wearing designer dress boots to tour the derailment scene. (Photo) Buttigieg singled out President Trump and Fox News Channel prime time host Tucker Carlson in his hissy fit interview with CNN, even swearing at one point (excerpt): “It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox hosts – who are

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if the 2024 presidential election were held today, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) would win his state. Anchor Chuck Todd said, “The RNC chair, Ronna McDaniel wants to have nominees sign a pledge if you are the to participate in an RNCm sanctioned event. Are you comfortable signing that pledge if Donald Trump is involved?” Sununu said, “I’m a lifelong Republican. I’m going to support the Republican nominee. When you look at what’s coming out of the White House, it isn’t Democrat policies. It’s real left-wing extreme agenda type stuff that is not in the best interest of this country,

On March 2, 2023, the people in control of the Joe Biden administration officially announced that government control of internet content was now officially a part of the national security apparatus. [White House Link] If you have followed the history of how the Fourth Branch of Government has been created, you will immediately recognize the intent of this new framework. (image)The “National Cybersecurity Strategy” aligns with, supports, and works in concert with a total U.S. surveillance system, where definitions of information are then applied to “cybersecurity” and communication vectors. This policy is both a surveillance system and an information filtration prism where the government will decide what is information,

California's reparations task force held its second in-person meeting on Saturday, where members of the public were allowed to give comments as the state legislature considers whether to implement a reparations program for descendants of Black slaves, and what that program would look like. Hundreds of passionate people spoke in the two meetings on Friday and Saturday, voicing their support for cash payments to Black Americans, or grants of land or other compensation. Some called for a renewed Freedmen's Bureau — referring to the Reconstruction-era federal agency Congress tasked with providing food, medical aid, clothing and other needs to newly freed

An old saying, attributed to Henry David Thoreau, maintains that you do not have to find a trout in your glass to know someone is watering down the milk. This week Americans found a veritable school of trout in their milk — an unintentional demonstration by the Biden administration of why such a gathering of fish is often called a “lie.” In the 17th release of the “Twitter Files,” journalist Matt Taibbi disclosed that the U.S. government is funding a group that has supported the censorship of dissenting viewpoints on social media, including those of U.S. citizens.

The US military is evaluating the skills of two Ukrainian pilots at a base in Tucson, Arizona, as the Biden administration continues to weigh equipping its ally with fighter jets. The unprecedented “familiarization event” will allow the Ukrainian pilots to learn about Air Force operations and facilitate dialogue between the nations’ militaries, officials said. As many as 10 more Ukrainian pilots were expected to join their comrades in Arizona to be evaluated on simulators as early as this month, NBC News reports. “This event allows us to better help Ukrainian pilots become more effective pilots

Horrifying cases of women being raped in their rooms at top hotel chains are taking place because staff are allegedly handing over keys to sexual predators unchecked, The Post can reveal. Two separate cases in Texas claim men broke into women’s rooms after lying to staff to obtain keycards. In an even more shocking incident, one man was allegedly able to convince police and hotel staff to deliver his victim to his own room at a Hilton-owned property. One alleged unwanted entry was only foiled when a quick thinking woman slammed a door on an intruder’s hand —

If you’ve lost sleep over whether you’ll get into Columbia University due to your test scores, rest easy — those no longer matter. Online Wednesday, the school made a major announcement: It’s permanently dropping standardized testing requirements for undergraduates. Congradu-lations. People are complex; a single factor can’t define them: The holistic and contextual application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals

100 Percent Fed Up reports – This afternoon, CPAC attendees voted for the person they would choose to be the next Republican Presidential candidate if the election were held today.(Photo) President Donald Trump got a whopping 62% of the vote from the CPAC attendees. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who did not attend the conservative gathering, got 20% of the vote. But it was the relatively unknown billionaire businessman from Michigan, Perry Johnson, whose never held a political office, stunned the pundits when he took third place in the poll ahead of

Larry Hogan has decided he will not make a bid for the White House in 2024, appearing to bow out because the Republican field is already shaping up to be crowded. The former Maryland governor gave a realist perspective to why he isn't joining the race – and said he knew he wouldn't be a front-runner and wouldn't be able to make the difference he wants to make as a presidential candidate. 'I didn't want to have a pile up of a bunch of people fighting,' Hogan said in an interview airing on CBS News' Face the Nation on Sunday morning.

At least for some, the famous line, “Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt” (often attributed to Mark Twain), perfectly underscores the dilemma of the Democratic Party’s leaders approaching the 2024 presidential election. Many of them seem to be in flat-out denial of the widespread fear — or reality — that they don’t have a viable ticket. A recent article in Politico gave a deliberate test drive to some of the concerns regarding the highly flawed incumbent ticket of President Biden and Vice President Harris. It read, in part: “High-level Democrats are rallying to President Biden’s reelection, not because they

As American men continue to struggle, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff wants to use his platform to denounce so-called toxic masculinity. Emhoff this past week told MSNBC that there’s too much “toxicity” in masculinity these days, an issue he’s spent “a lot” of time thinking about. “There’s too much of toxicity — masculine toxicity out there, and we’ve kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine,” the 58-year-old said.

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned illegal immigrants entering the country that they would be deported and "will not be able to stay" on Sunday. Sunak made the vow in a Sunday interview as the U.K. faces a steady flow of migrants crossing its borders from Europe. Sunak's government is expected to push legislation cracking down on illegal immigration later this week, with a special emphasis on illegal immigrants arriving in boats across the English Channel. "Make no mistake, if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay," Sunak told U.K. media.

This week there was what I consider to have been extensive unwarranted attention given to the murder trial in South Carolina of Alex Murdaugh. Unwarranted because it seems to me this is at best a matter of local or regional interest. In the end, those who followed it learned one important lesson for all the coverage they saw or read: Do not carry your cell phone around when engaged in murdering your wife and son because, if you do, you leave a digital footprint easier to trace than Hansel and Gretel’s breadcrumb trail. Alexis de Tocqueville long ago wrote of American’s fascination with courthouse trials, calling it “another theater.”

A campaign to have rural eastern Oregon secede from the blue state and join more conservative Idaho has "virtually no chance" of becoming a reality, according to Idaho's top state Senate Democrat. "I'm very pleased this measure has virtually no chance of advancing into reality," Idaho Senate Minority Leader Melissa Wintrow, D, told Fox News Digital. "It would be bad for all involved and bad for the country, and I am opposed to it at all levels." Wintrow was referring to a resolution making its way through the Idaho Legislature that wouldn't move the Idaho-Oregon border but rather call for formal talks between the states' legislatures about relocating the boundary line.

A downstate judge on Friday struck down the ban on high-power firearms and high-capacity ammunition magazines that Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law earlier this year, a ruling the Illinois attorney general’s office immediately appealed to the state Supreme Court. The scope of the ruling was a subject of dispute, with the attorney for the state lawmaker who was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit arguing that it applies statewide and Pritzker’s office contending it does not. “We expected political grandstanding from those more beholden to the gun lobby than to the safety of their constituents and today’s ruling comes as no surprise,”

The United Arab Emirates now has the most powerful passport in the world, according to a new study. Nomad Capitalist, a tax and immigration consultancy firm, ranked the value of nearly 200 countries' passports based on five factors: the availability of visa-free travel, the taxation on residents living in foreign countries, perception, the availability of dual citizenship and personal freedom. It found that the UAE's new visa-free travel privileges, as well as its rapidly growing economy and the fact that there are no income taxes have made its passports the most valuable.

Ohio residents have been ordered to shelter in place Saturday after another Norfolk Southern train ran off the tracks. The 212-car train derailed at Ohio 41 near the Prime Ohio Business Park in Springfield around 5 p.m., the Clark County Emergency Management said. About 20 of the train’s box cars toppled off the tracks while it was traveling through the city. A spokesperson confirmed with The Post that Norfolk Southern — the same railway company involved in the tragic East Palestine derailment that contaminated 1.1 million gallons of water and 15,000 pounds of soil — was operating the derailed train.

It is unlikely President Joe Biden will attend King Charles' coronation in May, a source said. A source told the Telegraph that it was 'unlikely' that Biden, 80, would attend the May 6 coronation as he is expected to make a trip to Ireland for the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement just a few weeks prior. Biden has promised to 'continue a close friendship with the King and the Queen Consort,' and a source said he will be 'represented at the Coronation,' although it is unclear who will be in attendance at the moment.

At a time when Republicans are increasingly asserting themselves in battles over a coterie of acronyms that have captured the commanding heights of American society – ESG, DEI, and CRT – Rep. Jim Banks has emerged as a leader in the GOP-controlled House of the fight against the “wokeism” these theories collectively represent. A fourth-term congressman from Indiana, Banks has earned his anti-woke bona fides by engaging in high-profile clashes with military officials over their embrace of “anti-racist” literature and related initiatives, the Chamber of Commerce over issues ranging from woke capitalism to China, and Twitter over his “misgendering” of Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Rachel Levine.

The need for America to re-affirm the First Amendment and its principles has once again been underscored by the recent findings coming out about the origins and impact of the coronavirus. The most important problem we have as a society is not misinformation but the suppression of non-conforming opinions that often (but not always) turn out to be true. Americans sense this already. They are concerned about what tech companies have been doing to censor content, with 61% of voters in a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll believing that the government and tech companies worked together to enforce political censorship.
