A new stage production of the highly popular coming of age play Peter Pan will seek to eliminate some of the original songs for the Native American characters, to rewrite the scenes to offer Native Americans a “safe place,” and to cancel the “stereotypes” and “caricatures” of Native peoples.
The latest Broadway revival has hired Lakota playwright Larissa FastHorse to rewrite the book for the new touring production because, in her words, the original play by J.M. Barrie “had caused harm to people.” “When you read the original material, it’s very hurtful, it’s blatantly hurtful."
Constitution? What Constitution?

We keep on being gaslit with the argument that Joe Biden is dedicated to preserving the norms and laws of our Republic, while Trump is bent on destroying our Constitutional Republic.
As with so many things argued by the Left, the opposite is the case.
When Trump overstepped his authority and was chastised by the Court, he bowed to their authority. Biden? He does the opposite and brags about it. Example #1 is, of course, his student loan forgiveness efforts.
Biden ran on providing student loan forgiveness, and when he assumed office, he tried to wipe away billions in this debt with the stroke of a pen.
Among the evening network newscasts, ABC News continues its unparalleled run as the most stridently and shamelessly pro-Biden. Tonight’s report on the latest student loan handout might as well have come from the White House’s comms shop.
Watch the report in its entirety as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Wednesday, February 21st, 2024: (Video) DAVID MUIR: The other major headline of the White House today involves the president canceling $1.2 billion in student loan debt, more than 150,000 student borrowers. This was a campaign promise, of course, and he continues to push forward on this.
MARY BRUCE: He does, David. And starting today, 153,000 student borrowers will be receiving
We reported on how Joe Biden is in California doing a bunch of campaign events, trying to hype his flagging effort.
He was at the Culver City Library on Wednesday speaking to a tiny crowd about student debt forgiveness, what looks like a vote-buying effort, as well as an end run around the Supreme Court and Congress. He couldn't draw people, even with many of those people being public officials. Why speak in a library rather than on a college campus, for example? He was likely afraid he would be besieged by anti-Israel activists and that wouldn't convey the picture they want to project.

Joe Biden flew into San Francisco on Wednesday, after his visit to Los Angeles After he went down the Air Force One short stairs, wearing sneakers to help prevent him from tripping, he was met at the bottom by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). They then held hands as she led him across the tarmac to Marine One.
That sparked lots of comment and mockery. (X Video) The NY Post reported on one of the cutting comments on X, which was pretty consistent with the general take of their walk, calling it a "nursing home reunion" look.

Back in February 14th, I wrote here on TGP: “Odysseus has departed on a perilous journey that is larger-than-life. No, we are not talking about the mythological hero Ulysses from the immortal Odyssey and Iliad – but the new American spacecraft that is embarking in a mission that is every bit as fantastic.”
Tonight we can say: TOUCHDOWN. America is back on the moon after half a century.
NBC News reported:“A robotic spacecraft made history Thursday becoming the first privately built craft to touch down on the lunar surface, as well as the first American vehicle to accomplish the feat in more than 50 years.
They’re stealing Trump’s business and fortune.
Judge Engoron on Thursday denied Trump’s request to delay enforcement of the $355 million in penalties as New York Attorney General Letitia James threatens to seize Trump’s buildings.
Engoron last Friday ordered Trump to pay more than a $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”
Engoron claimed Trump and each of the defendants “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud by their individual acts

President Joe Biden has overseen a record-breaking level of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border — a large portion of which is being released directly into American towns and cities.
From February 2021 through January 2024, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shows that more than 7.2 million illegal aliens have arrived at the nation’s porous southern border.Thus far in Fiscal Year 2024, with only four full months completed, nearly a million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border. In Fiscal Year 2022, Biden broke records by overseeing close to 2.37 million illegal aliens at the border,
Pharmacies across the country are reporting delays to prescription orders due to a cyberattack against one of the nation's largest health-care technology companies.
Change Healthcare, a company handling orders and patient payments throughout the U.S., first noticed the "cyber security issue" affecting its networks Wednesday morning on the East Coast.
"Change Healthcare is experiencing a network interruption related to a cyber security issue and our experts are working to address the matter. Once we became aware of the outside threat, in the interest of protecting our partners and patients, we took immediate action to disconnect our systems to prevent further impact," Change Healthcare said in a statement.
Most of us are familiar with the media narratives when it comes to reporting on mass shootings. The familiar beats of coverage are so rote as to basically qualify as tropes. Conversely, we see by now that whenever there is a deviation from the expected characteristics of a shooter the coverage is notably different. In fact, it has become a cliched punchline that if the featured individual is found to be a member from one of the protected minority classes then the response becomes, “...And that’s when the story disappeared from the front page.”
That secondary reality has loomed large this month.
Houston-based Intuitive Machines says its Odysseus lander touched down on the moon today, becoming the first U.S.-built spacecraft to stick a moon landing in more than 50 years and the first ever by a private company.
After some adjustments in the final hours, touchdown was expected at 6:24 p.m. EST, but mission control in Houston was left in suspense for almost 15 minutes while it awaited confirmation signals from the spacecraft. Finally, at 6:37 p.m. ET, mission control announced: "We can confirm, without a doubt, our equipment is on the surface of the moon and we are transmitting." The lander's condition, however, was not yet clear.
Facing declining U.S. sales and massive layoffs, fake-meat producer Beyond Meat has a radical idea for their fourth-generation Beyond Burger patties and Beyond Beef ground... stuff: they'll make it better-tasting and more nutritious. “Health is one of the top drivers to the plant-based meat category, and we feel a deep responsibility to deliver on that expectation for the consumer,” CEO Ethan Brown told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

In a setback to Disney, a judge has ruled that ABC must go to court over a lawsuit filed by two General Hospital crewmembers who were fired for refusing to comply with the studio’s COVID vaccine mandate. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge issued the order on Tuesday, signaling a potentially important legal showdown that could impact numerous Americans who stood up to draconian employer and government mandates — and consequently lost their jobs or were denied services.

James Biden, President Joe Biden’s brother, told the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday that Joe Biden “never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest” in his business ventures.
The claim comes as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), a former bank board member, found in October that a $200,000 check from Americore, which allegedly defrauded Medicare, landed in Joe Biden’s bank account via James Biden. James Biden denied the check was due to a preexisting business relationship. He claimed the money was a return payment for money Joe Biden lent him. Comer then requested the alleged “loan documents” the Biden brothers might have consummated,
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The highly respected and rated Marquette University Law School poll is out with its first national poll results of 2024.

"Liberalism moves, therefore, toward radical individualism and the corruption of standards that movement entails. By destroying traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness into individual constituents, by licensing the opinions of the most foolish, by substituting instruction for education, by encouraging cleverness rather than wisdom, the upstart rather than the qualified... Liberalism can prepare the way for that which is its own negation: the artificial, mechanized or brutalized control which is a desperate remedy for its chaos."

Well, the feds can't be the only ones wondering about the cause of today's massive cellular-system failure. All three major networks reported outages at roughly the same time, and although there were areas of uninterrupted service, the failures seems to be widespread. Having all three networks seemingly impacted suggested something other than a single point of failure or error.
Unlike the rest of us, federal agencies can do something about their own curiosity. According to ABC News, the feds have started investigating whether a cyberattack took place:

President Joe Biden’s brother does not have any documentation to back up his claim that payments he and his wife made to his brother in 2017 and 2018 were loan repayments, a source familiar with James Biden’s closed-door testimony on Wednesday told National Review.

A judge ruled Thursday that a Black student who was suspended for months over his locs hairstyle was legally punished by the school district.
Darryl George, 18, had been told by his school district in suburban Houston that he was breaking the rules about student appearance and dress code.
State District Judge Chap Cain III ruled in favor of the Barbers Hill School District on Thursday, saying the district has not violated a new state law prohibiting race-based hair discrimination.
The issue centered around the length of George's hair.
George and his family say his hairstyle is protected by a state law known as the Texas Crown Act.
On Monday night, Shawn Crowley, one of the attorneys representing E. Jean Carroll, suggested that Carroll is considering yet another lawsuit against Donald Trump because he insists on defending himself by denying any wrongdoing.

The Democrat Party goes to ridiculous lengths to protect its own — until it doesn't. When the Democrats smell blood in the water they throw their embattled colleagues under the bus in a heartbeat. Minnesota Democrat Sen. Al Franken was a perfect example.
When Franken was first accused by a conservative talk-radio host of forcing an unwanted kiss on her during a 2006 U.S.O. tour, his Senate Democrat colleagues rushed to defend him. Seven more women followed with similar accusations about Franken, and just three weeks after the first accusation, he was toast — and forced to resign.
California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office announced Tuesday the state’s budget deficit is much larger than Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) projected $38 billion shortfall.
In the report, the state’s newly confirmed $73 billion deficit is $15 billion more than the $58 billion the office previously projected when Newsom introduced his budget in January.
“Roughly, a $24 billion erosion in revenues corresponds to a $15 billion increase in the budget problem. This would expand the $58 billion estimated deficit to $73 billion under our updated revenue forecast,” the report stated. The report listed several places where spending cuts can be made in order to obtain an estimated $16 billion in savings

He then uploaded the tax returns to a private website in order to avoid IRS protocols established to detect and prevent large downloads or uploads from IRS devices or systems.

A massive AT&T network outage left many thousands of customers across the U.S. without cell service or internet access Thursday morning. Lesser outages in the Verizon and T-Mobile cell networks have also been widely reported.
NBC News reports that widespread cell service outages impacted AT&T customers across the United States Thursday morning. The outages left thousands unable to make calls, access the internet, or reach 911 emergency services.The issues began around 4:00 a.m. ET and surged just before 8:00 a.m., with over 71,000 reported outages, according to Downdetector.

There is excellent news for the American industry, economy, and international trade sectors. The discovery of colossal rare earth deposits in Wyoming could essentially restructure the global supply chain of these crucial elements in the near future.

It was immediately apparent that something was wildly wrong, since the Trump transactions were nothing unusual or remarkable for the real estate industry.

New analysis finds that the number of illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. on Biden’s watch is greater than the population of 36 states.
The numbers are absolutely staggering and there are still months left before Joe Biden will potentially leave office. If he doesn’t, and this madness continues, it’s nearly impossible to imagine what the country would look like in four more years.
Illegal immigration has now eclipsed the economy as the top issue for the 2024 and this is why. Everyone knows this is not a sustainable situation.
President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump.
The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations.
The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Political Commentator Paul Begala reacted to reports that President Joe Biden is weighing stricter executive action on the border by saying that the Democratic Party has “been slow to come to the conclusion that we’ve got to have order” in our immigration system, something former President Barack Obama understood and “Biden is now going to give them order” after “belatedly” saying that the border must be controlled.
Begala said, “I think the President has a good argument, which is, we need new laws. And the political argument that wins is when he says, belatedly, but now, says, we have to control the border.
