  A Virginia school system has accused Dr. Seuss books of 'strong racial undertones' following a report which accused author Theodor Geisel, pictured, of 'orientalism, anti-blackness and white supremacy' By LAUREN FRUEN Loudoun schools spokesman Wayde B. Byard confirmed to The Washington Post that they have 'shifted the emphasis' of March 2 Read Across America day That means the day will not celebrate the much loved Seuss stories 'exclusively' 'Research in recent years has revealed strong racial undertones,' Byard said  That came following a 2019 report called 'The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti-Blackness, and White Supremacy in Dr. Seuss's Children's Books'  Read Across America Day had traditionally focused on Seuss books But since 2017 the focus has shifted to 'Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers' Learning for Justice is behind the calls to cancel Dr Seuss, Fox News reports A  Virgi...

  By Cassandra Fairbanks The mainstream media goons who shrieked and moaned about a “free press” during the Trump administration are pretty mum after the Biden admin announced that they will be charging reporters for their COVID tests every time they enter the building. Without taking the $170 test, reporters will not be allowed to enter the building to go to press briefings. The Washington Post  reported  on Friday that the White House is seeking to put the new charges in place on Monday. Charges this high would make it much harder for smaller and independent outlets to get into the briefings, which would make corporate media shills dominate the room even harder than they already do. The Daily Caller  notes  that “White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki vowed hours after Biden’s inauguration to bring ‘truth and transparency back to the briefing room.’ President Donald Trump’s White House footed the bill for testing reporters daily for months be...

Skip to Comments By J.B. Shurk A few years back,  Jim Caviezel spoke  at a number of venues to discuss his new movie,  Paul, Apostle of Christ .  Rather than shying away from his Christianity or attempting to filter his words through the lens of pop culture's censorship, he passionately urged his listeners to become "proud warriors, animated by their faith" in fighting, and even dying, for the preservation of human freedom.   When he spoke of freedom, he was clear to articulate that God's gift to His children is not the freedom to do recklessly whatever we wish, but rather the freedom to choose wisely how we ought to act in pursuit of moral lives.  He answered Maximilian Kolbe's trenchant observation that "indifference is the greatest sin" by charging every listener to "fight for that authentic freedom" that requires us to live courageously.  "And with the Holy Spirit as your shield and Christ as your sword, may you join St...

Skip to Comments By Katie Yoder The Biden administration – and Biden’s nominees – are engaging in a new trend: talking about faith and religion when asked about abortion. President Biden’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, recently testified during a Senate confirmation  hearing . When one senator asked him about abortion restrictions on February 24, Becerra avoided listing any limits that he might support – a  position at odds  with most Americans. Instead, he brought up his mother’s daily rosary.  In other words, Becerra pointed to his family’s Catholic faith while failing to support restrictions on abortion – an issue that the Catholic Church considers a grave evil. Several   senators  questioned Becerra about abortion, including Senator Steve Daines (R-MT), who asked Becerra if he could “name one abortion restriction that you might support.”  Becerra, who boasts perfect ratings from abortio...

Skip to Comments By IVAN PENTCHOUKOV ORLANDO—South Dakota Gov.  Kristi Noem  (R) told the audience at an annual conservative conference on Feb. 27 that  lockdowns  and other restrictions imposed by state and local governments were to blame for the economic crash in 2020, not the pandemic which they were intended to snuff out. Noem has become the target of establishment media and Democrat politicians for her approach to the pandemic. South Dakota was the only state which never ordered any businesses or churches to close, never imposed a lockdown or a mask mandate, and refrained from classifying businesses into essential and non-essential categories. “COVID didn’t crush the economy.  Government  crushed the economy,” Noem said, prompting applause from the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). “Just as quickly, government turned around and held itself out as the savior, and frankly the Treasury Department can’t print mon...

Skip to Comments By Andrea Widburg The headlines were about the fact that, when Megyn Kelly appeared on Bill Maher’s HBO show on Friday, she complained about the way her children’s pricey private schools in New York were indoctrinating them with pro-transgender values and anti-white animus. Bill Maher to his credit, agreed with Kelly that matters are getting seriously out of hand, at least when it comes to the anti-white hatred that’s becoming the norm in education. Maher’s always been a bit of maverick, though. The real surprise was the enthusiasm his audience showed for that sentiment. For conservatives, nothing that Kelly said about her children’s experiences in New York’s toniest private elementary schools came as a surprise. Kelly said that, while she and her husband identify as “center-right,” she was okay with the fact that the schools were on the left side of the political aisle. That changed, though, when “they went hard left, and then they started to take a really hard...

Skip to Comments By Matt Rowe Half of America blindly supports the gradual and increasingly obvious move toward socialism. Their leaders either want communism or don’t care much about the future provided they gain power while they are still around to enjoy it. The other half of America shouts from the treetops that communism is coming and that it’s time to do something about it – but that’s all. To prevail in this ideological battle, they need to do much more. The left is well-funded, organized, takes care of its own, and gets global support. The right needs funding, lacks organization, is only just learning to take care of its own, and gets nothing from overseas except condemnation and derision. When will Conservatives have had enough of this to do something, rather than complain about this steady move toward tyranny? Untrustworthy elections certainly weren’t enough. Most on the right  question the federal election process , yet say only, “…we’ll get ‘em in 2022.” This despit...

  By Cam Edwards The daily drumbeat of Democrats demanding Joe Biden get to work on his anti-gun agenda continues, with Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia and Rep. Joe Neguse penning a letter to the president calling on the White House to create a national director of gun violence position. In the letter,  first reported by Axios , the pair claim that “”a comprehensive government approach to address this violence, will help bring our nation out from under the depths of the gun violence crisis.” What exactly would this position entail? The representatives claim that the director could coordinate “gun violence prevention strategies” between government agencies like the ATF, DOJ, Health and Human Services, and the CDC. Of course, what gun control activists are truly hoping for is to use that position as a bully pulpit to push for sweeping anti-gun legislation and executive orders. The idea of a national director for gun violence prevention (“gun control czar” would be a...
