Scott Jennings didn’t hold back Wednesday when he faced off against an entire CNN panel stacked with Democrats. It was nothing short of a reckoning. At one point, a New York Times reporter tried to brand Republicans as the “party of taking things away,” pointing to issues like healthcare. Jennings wasn’t having it. “My rebuttal to that would be Democrats have become the party of EXPLODING government benefit programs… and then saying, ‘Gee whiz, now people are trying to take things away.’” If you want to see political debate at its…
Welcome to the empire, where peace activists are called terrorists, where hospitals are called military bases, where facts are called blood libel, where people opposing genocide are called hateful Nazis, where genocidal soldiers are a protected group and chanting for their death is a hate crime. Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): ❖ British police have been arresting anti-genocide protesters for holding signs expressing support for activist group Palestine Action, which London has now officially designated a terrorist group for putting red paint on war planes that were being used in…
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the criminal conviction of conservative meme-maker Douglass Mackey, ruling that the government failed to present sufficient evidence that he knowingly joined a conspiracy to violate voting rights when he posted satirical memes ahead of the 2016 election. Mackey, known online as “Ricky Vaughn,” was convicted in March 2023 for sharing memes that suggested Hillary Clinton supporters could vote by text message. On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit reversed the decision, finding the government’s evidence insufficient to prove that Mackey knowingly joined any agreement to deprive voters of their rights.…
A ground force led by Arab nations, possibly including a Yemenite force, will be necessary to remove the Houthis as a regional threat, according to a senior Israeli government official. The Iranian-backed Houthis have continued firing ballistic missiles, sporadically, at Israel despite the ceasefire between Israel and Iran that took effect last month — and despite Israeli airstrikes against the rebels and their weapons. The Houthis have also attacked international ships again, despite reaching a separate ceasefire with the United States earlier this year. The rebels, who have fought for years against the internationally-recognized government of Yemen, say they are…
The Trump administration is deepening its effort to sever U.S. reliance on Chinese rare earth supplies, committing $400 million in equity financing to MP Materials Corp. as part of a broader plan to expand domestic production of rare earth magnets used in advanced weapons systems and industrial technologies.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to a question on whether he thinks the 2026 midterms will be rigged by saying that “in many of the states where there will be competitive gubernatorial elections and certainly in the overwhelming majority of the states where the House will be decided, there are Democratic governors, Democratic attorney generals, and Democratic secretaries of state” “And I’ve got trust in those leaders to make sure that there are actual free and fair elections.” But he’d “be far more concerned…if we were looking at a situation…
US President Donald Trump is ready to sign a bill aimed at eliminating Russia’s trade under certain conditions, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing a senior administration official.If adopted, the “bone-crushing” legislation spearheaded by hawkish Senator Lindsey Graham would impose a 500% tariff on countries buying oil, gas, uranium, and other goods from Russia. Although the bill grants the president the power to exempt nations from the tariff for up to 180 days, Trump reportedly wants Congress to give him sole authority to decide on the sanctions.“The administration is not going to be micromanaged by the Congress on the president’s foreign…

The subpoenas span investigations into healthcare fraud, false statements and even definitions of gender medicine as female genital mutilation (FGM). “Medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology will be held accountable by this Department of Justice,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. This sweeping legal push stems directly from Bondi’s April memorandum. The memo declares that “gender ideology” has infiltrated American culture and the medical community, causing children…
Actress Lena Dunham recently revealed that she worked with Planned Parenthood to create an abortion storyline for her Netflix series Too Much. Even though Dunham has promoted herself as a pro-abortion feminist, her HBO show Girls surprised right-leaning views in its decision to feature the character of Hannah choosing to keep an unplanned pregnancy; her new show Too Much features an opposite storyline. “It felt right for the story; it felt true. And I thought, there’s a way to talk about this and make it emotional and honest, but also not make it something that she needs to regret or feel shame…
