Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico is refusing to answer questions about his residency and voting history after publicly demanding that Republican opponent Ken Paxton answer questions about allegations concerning his conduct. Talarico’s campaign promoted an ad on X writing, “Ken Paxton is refusing to answer basic questions about his corruption and criminal record. Texans are demanding answers. What are you hiding, @KenPaxtonTX?”  The challenge comes as The Texas Tribune and ProPublica reported that Talarico voted in five elections using his parents’ address after buying a home about six miles away in June 2022, and did not update his voter…

Both President Lincoln and President McKinley were assassinated. Lincoln was assassinated by a Democrat, while McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist. The trend of left-wing violence continued through the 1970s and continues today with Antifa and allied left-wing movements. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, was a Democrat and an ardent defender of slavery and the Southern cause. The Confederacy’s political leadership was also overwhelmingly Democratic. Confederate President Jefferson Davis and most Confederate officials came from the Democratic Party, which before the Civil War was the party most closely associated with defending slavery and states’ rights.…

Filmmaker Adam McKay, a DSA member and hardcore climate doomsayer, has finally addressed — indirectly, at least — the issue of his hypocritical campaign to kill the oil industry while jetting between homes in Los Angeles and Ireland. Four years ago, Breitbart became the first news outlet to connect the dots between McKay’s frenzied climate warnings (e.g. the satirical Netflix film Don’t Look Up) and a flattering profile in Architectural Digest about his “quiet and relaxing” getaway home on 12 acres in Ireland. In the time since, the Anchorman director has ignored questions about why he won’t sacrifice the luxurious estate — and the 10,000-mile…

The Smithsonian Institution is under pressure as House Republicans demand its leaders either steer the museum system away from leftist ideology or lose funding. The institution receives private money, but it also gets approximately $1 billion in taxpayer money annually, and lawmakers are working to make sure it depicts American history accurately, Fox News reported Friday. House Appropriations Committee member Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) told the outlet: The Smithsonian is accountable to the taxpayers. So defunding them in certain ways, or tying their funds to requirements, I think is probably the best way to ensure that we bring the Smithsonian…

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) will vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general after Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announced they would not support him. Cassidy’s support now puts Blanche, the acting attorney general, on a path to be confirmed. The outgoing Louisiana senator, who lost to a Trump-backed challenger in Louisiana’s Republican Senate primary earlier this year, announced Friday morning on the Senate floor that he will vote for Blanche shortly after they spoke on the phone. Cassidy said the choice “is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department…

Investigative reporter Catherine Herridge secured a major, though temporary, victory for press freedom after a federal judge clarified that she will not have to keep paying an $800-per-day contempt fine while her legal team asks the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her First Amendment case. The court also denied plaintiff Yanping Chen’s request to increase the daily fine to a staggering $5,000 and ordered that the money Herridge has already paid be returned, Herridge announced Friday in a statement on X. The district court has clarified that I don’t have to pay the $800 daily contempt fine for refusing to…

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that the Trump administration has stopped short of naming collapsing the regime in Iran as an objective, and “I think that’s because, after the Iraq War, the phrase regime change is radioactive.” After Cruz advocated for arming the Iranian protesters to pursue the collapse of the Iranian regime, host Martha MacCallum asked, “So, how would you go down that road? We haven’t heard much about that since, in the early days — as you just pointed out — there was this push, that looked like…

State Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-MI) said leftist Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, the U.S. Senate candidate who won his Democrat primary in Michigan this week, asked her for advice moving into the midterms. McMorrow told Politico’s Playbook that he asked for feedback on what he did right and how he could improve, the outlet reported Friday. She told him, “You got the message right. It was sticky. It was repeatable.” As far as how he could improve, she said, “Being able to recognize that there are good people who just have a slightly different worldview is going to be really important. It’s…

Wikipedia has become a compromised propaganda tool, the online encyclopedia’s co-founder-turned-critic Larry Sanger has said, warning that its content is now increasingly informing AI.In an interview with the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung published on Friday, Sanger argued that Wikipedia’s lack of an adequate governance structure allowed “specific ideological viewpoints” to shape its content, turning the online encyclopedia into a “globalist, academic, secular and progressive” consensus.“Wikipedia was recognized early on as an important propaganda organ,” Sanger told the outlet. He argued that while the platform’s anonymity policy makes it difficult to determine who edits its content, “what we know as fact,…
