Image generated by AI using OpenAI’s DALL·E, August 2025. Video footage widely shared on social media showed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pausing at George Floyd’s casket during a memorial. He dropped to one knee, sobbed, and appeared to whisper something. This display of grief for a career criminal stood in sharp contrast to his response after the August 27, 2025, shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where trans-identifying shooter Robin Westman killed two children and wounded 17 others. Rather than focusing on the tragedy, Frey used the press conference to criticize Christians for praying and to voice support for…

The Republican Party is reclaiming Labor Day under President Donald Trump, thanks to the pro-worker policies he has long championed and is delivering on. Trump has delivered for American workers on numerous fronts, ranging from significant tax cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, rising blue-collar wages at the fastest rate in six decades, and a slew of outside investments into America that will lead to an influx of job opportunities in the United States. “President Trump believes that American workers are the heart and soul of our economy, which is why he’s championed an agenda that always puts…

During a discussion on MSNBC centered on gun controls that might be pushed post-Minneapolis shooting, The Trace reporter Mike Spies suggested bans that would include handguns. The Trace is an online pro-gun control outlet. Spies was in a round table with MSNBC’s Katy Tur, who said, “The majority of Americans don’t own guns and the majority of Americans want stricter gun laws.” Tur did not offer any substantiation for her claims, nor did she mention that the number of firearms in civilian possession topped 490 million as of 2022. Nevertheless, Spies concurred with Tur’s claims, then said, in part, “I do…

(Credit: U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Aaron J. Jenne) Guest post by John L. Kachelman, Jr. There is an inevitable constant between the civil population and onerous tyrants. A friend’s required presence at a European State dinner provides an interesting point. The brutal sadistic despot and even cannibal Idi Amin Dada Oumee was visiting. The host spoke English. Amin boisterously declared his proficiency in English having worked with Britian for decades. After the meal he stood intending to express his favor to the host’s good meal. Amin said, “I’m ‘fed up’ with this food.” Properly used this metaphor describes…

California has been repelling capital through overregulation. The energy sector high-tailed out of the state in recent years under Governor Gavin Newsom’s net-zero policies. Now, even retailers feel forced to evacuate as California becomes increasingly anti-business. Bed Bath & Beyond announced that it must close all retail stores within the state of California. “This decision isn’t about politics—it’s about reality,” company head Marcus Lemonis said in a social media post. “California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open,…

Comedy legend Eric Idle, an original founder of the Monty Python comedy troupe, has been running jokes by his Millennial daughter to see which ones would be offensive now. Speaking with BBC Radio 4’s This Cultural Life, Idle said that his upcoming tour of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live! will not feature some of his famous Monty Python tracks because his 35-year-old daughter, Lily Idle, deemed them offensive. “Sometimes I’ll ask my daughter or my goddaughter,” Idle say. “I’ll say, ‘Can I say these things?’ And they’ll say, ‘Yeah, that’s okay,’ or not.” “I don’t worry about [being cancelled],” Idle…

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) called Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy a “lunatic,” declaring that he should be “fired.” Discussing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director being fired, host Chris Hayes said, “Your reaction to what is happening at CDC right now?” Welsh said, “Well, it’s horrifying I mean, there’s two things. One, very inspiring and the other very alarming. The inspiring part of this is the folks who resigned in solidarity with their director, who was standing up for science and for public health. The depressing part is that RFK is a lunatic.…

European leaders on war footing flocked to the White House to plea for protection. Ukraine’s president brought self-parody to center stage. A specter is haunting Europe: imperialist cannibalism à la Russe.Old Europe’s pro-Ukrainian forces have forged an uneasy alliance to exorcise this specter of a revanchist Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron branded it a “predator, an ogre” at the continent’s doorstep, eternally ravenous. At the heart of the perceived menace lies Russia’s alleged relentless irredentism, the hunger to devour lands thought to belong to the homeland, leaving nothing but fear and defiance in its wake.Rather tellingly, even respected media outlets…

This week, the dominoes began to fall at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Back in September 2023, the floundering Biden administration tapped Daskalakis—a self-proclaimed “trusted voice for the LGBTQ community”—to lead the White House’s national monkeypox response as Deputy Coordinator. Fast-forward to Wednesday, and Daskalakis bolted from his role as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC. His exit came mere hours after CDC Director Susan Monarez was unceremoniously ousted, and on the very day RFK Jr. announced sweeping reforms to dismantle the vaccine mandates that crippled our economy and freedoms.…

Former speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament and leading figure in the EuroMaidan protests, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot and killed, President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed on Saturday. Andriy Parubiy, who served as the chairman of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada parliament between 2016 and 2019, was shot and killed in the city of Lviv in western Ukraine in an apparent assassination. Prior to ascending to the top ranks of the Ukrainian political system, Parubiy had been a leading street activist in the country, including during the so-called Orange Revolution of 2004 against then-presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych as well as serving as a commandant the Western-backed EuroMaidan…
