By Brianna Lyman There’s not much reason to respect the Associated Press (AP), which routinely publishes left-wing propaganda disguised as journalism. But if there’s any reason to give the outlet respect, it’s that they will never let facts get in their way of pushing a narrative they care about. This time, the outlet has turned a story about a black woman’s alleged murder at the hands of a black man into a story about racist lynchings. “The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South,” The AP posted on X. The implication was clear: a black woman found hanging is a symbol of racism and that the South is racist. Fortune’s death was tragic. Her body was found hanging behind an abandoned home in Jackson, Mississippi. The only problem for the AP’s narrative is that Fortune’s alleged killer had already been arrested before the AP put out the disingenuous t...

Israel should be in a completely different position by now. The IDF's achievements over three years of war have been remarkable. But they should have been taken to the next level. By AVI ASHKENAZI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to the United States to address the UN General Assembly on Thursday, as Israel faces growing diplomatic isolation despite the strategic leverage it could offer allies across the Middle East and Europe. Netanyahu is expected to appear before the UN General Assembly . Usually, attending the gathering brings with it a series of meetings with heads of state, defense officials, and military leaders. The Middle East and the Arabian Gulf are currently in the midst of war and a process of reshaping. On the surface, the US appears to be seeking to reduce its military dominance in the region. At the same time, Europe understands that it is facing a new set of threats: Russia, the Iranian threat, and growing Islamist migration that...

By Anthony Blair and Sonya Gugliara A woke “black” and anti-Israel activist has been dubbed the “Palestinian Rachel Dolezal” after she was outed for being a white, Jewish woman who lied about her identity for years. Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia teacher, was forced to confess she was a “white woman of significant privilege and wealth” after fellow lefty activists grew suspicious of her background and confronted her. “I lied about my identity and have been lying for years. I have no Palestinian or Tunisian heritage,” she wrote in a self-aggrandizing apology on Instagram . Hannah Gann admitted to being a white woman of privilege and wealth after claiming Palestinian heritage. Hannah Gann / Instagram “I am a white woman of significant privilege and wealth. Anyone who supported me was manipulated and should not be judged as a result of their support for me,” she continued. A staunch figure in left-wing activist circles in Philly, Gann portrayed herself as a mixed-race ...

By Chris Bray Who decides how much product a corporation should produce? California’s top prosecutor. Democracy is that Democrats oversee television news. Take it from Gavin Newsom’s halfwit communications director, who looks like he was rejected as an extra for High School Musical : WRONG! Bonta struck a great deal for jobs and democracy. The alternative was: A HUGE LOSS of California jobs. Paramount MOVING to Tennessee. *ZERO* oversight to protect editorial independence at CNN and CBS. https://t.co/cXRhI0T7yT — Izzy Gardon (@iGardon) September 21, 2026 See, now a state government with single-party rule has “oversight” authority with news organizations, which preserves the independence of the journalists. For media, “independence” is when the news answers to the attorney general of California. Pressured by the rise of streamers, the traditional movie studios Paramount and Warner Bros. pursued a merger to make a giant studio with a deep library of media product. Oleaginous Calif...

By Ben Smith Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr is delivering on one of the most universally despised features of modern life: the robocall. Carr announced Tuesday that the FCC has published a new set of step-by-step guides showing consumers how to turn on call- and text-blocking features already built into their phones and wireless carrier plans: no excuses, no extra fees, no waiting. Carr wrote on X: NEW As part of our ongoing efforts to crack down on illegal robocalls and text, the FCC has published step-by-step guides that enable consumers to turn on blocking and filtering tools. They are specific to your type of phone and carrier. Find them here:… pic.twitter.com/XbROzqmSHH — Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) September 22, 2026   The new guides cover both major smartphone platforms and the three largest nationwide wireless carriers. Consumers can select instructions for an iPhone or Android device, then pair that with a separate guide for AT...

By Kevin Downey Jr. Although I consider myself a constitutional purist, I suspect that when the Founding Fathers wrote, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," they hadn't considered the dangers of handing firearms to scrotum-phobic dudes in stilettos, sexual deviants calling themselves "furries," and even a crazy man dressed as Little Bo Peep. The transamabobs have a long history of mass shootings (and attempted mass shootings) that many of us have not heard of, likely because many law enforcement institutions define a mass shooting as four or more people shot in a fluid situation, not counting the shooter. Thus, if a Decepticon ventilates three people, chances are we won't hear about it. Also, the Operation Mockingbird press is typically likely to hide the fact that some testicle-dodging dudette is responsible for such an atrocity. FACT-O-RAMA...

By Rick Moran (Note from Tex, this article was originally published on September 18, 2026) Iran is a rogue nuclear state that carried out illicit nuclear enrichment activities until the U.S. and Israel bombed its facilities and set back its program to construct a nuclear bomb by many months and perhaps years.  Just last week, Iran was referred to the United Nations Security Council by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over its "noncompliance with obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, including denying IAEA inspectors access to Iranian sites suspected of nuclear activities," according to Benny Avni of the New York Sun.   It's the first such action taken by the IAEA in 20 years. Apparently, none of that matters to the international community. In a secret ballot, Iran was awarded a seat at the Vienna-based IAEA General Committee. "No less than 44 countries supported the Islamic Republic’s bid for the ...

By Rusty Weiss Gov. Tim Walz (D) admitted Tuesday that he failed to stop the fraud that gutted Minnesota’s social-service programs, then immediately tried to minimize the scandal by comparing it to President Trump’s White House ballroom. The former vice-presidential candidate said that acting like a toreador while fraudsters ran roughshod over the state should not define his legacy. Walz made the backhanded admission in an exit interview at the Star Tribune’s North Star Summit. “Fraud — should have stopped it sooner. We didn’t stop them. I accept that,” he confessed. “I think there does need to be accountability with that. And part of it is that, yep, that’s with me, I’ll step aside.” Walz accepts blame for fraud but says it shouldn’t define his legacy https://t.co/irffP1yIG5 — Ryan Faircloth (@RyanFaircloth) September 22, 2026 The alleged fraud in the North Star State has been so extensive that Walz was forced to drop his reelection bid at the beginning of the year. Federal pro...
