By Jennifer Van Laar Ahead of a Thursday Town Hall meeting in Iowa, Donald Trump announced his “Salute to America 250” proposal, a “One-Year Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence” that would be held at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. #AGENDA47 : President Trump Announces “Salute to America 250” – A One-Year Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence at the Iowa State Fairgrounds pic.twitter.com/Hc7ADhiZFz — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) May 31, 2023 In a video message, Trump said: Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence. What a great country. We have to keep it that way. But that’s why as a nation, we should be preparing for the most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time. Here is my plan to give America’s founding in 1776 the incredible anniversary it truly deserves. My hope is that the amazing people of...

By Alex Parker Are institutions sexually grooming children? If you’re searching for proof of “no,” don’t look to the  United Nations . The  World Health Organization  — the UN’s public health agency — devotes 68 instructive pages to kids and sex; and its recommendations would surely shock many. Per the  Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe  (SSEE), babies take part in sexuality: From birth, babies learn the value and pleasure of bodily contact, warmth and intimacy. … [F]rom birth, parents in particular send messages to their children that relate to the human body and intimacy. In other words, they are engaging in sexuality education. On the SSEE’s list of what children should learn from birth to four years old, you’ll find the following: Enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s own body, early childhood masturbation Little boys and girls should not only pleasure themselves; they should question whether they’re little boys and girls: Gain an awarenes...

By Naveen Athrappully Bud Light has announced that it intends to donate money to a cause supporting LGBTQ business owners—a decision coming at a time when the company’s sales are getting hammered from customers opposing a transgender agenda. Bud Light will donate $200,000 to the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) in support of the organization’s “Communities of Color Initiative” (CoCi), which aims to “support the growth and success of minority LGBTQ+ owned businesses,” the company said in a  press release on May 30. Bud Light will also support NGLCC’s CoCi Biz Pitch program, in which the winning LGBTQ business owner will receive $5,000. The contribution comes after the popular beer brand recently triggered large-scale  controversy  due to using a transgender influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, in one of its campaigns last month. The promotion attracted intense criticism, with multiple conservative celebrities calling for boycotting the brand, which has driven down ...

By Hal Lindsey If you’ve played with one of the freely available artificial intelligence programs, you were probably stunned with its speed. Tell ChatGPT to write a 1,000-word essay on causes of the American Civil War, and even the free version will spew out an essay with astonishing speed. It may not be entirely accurate. It may not be as good as the one you would have written. But it will do the job in a fraction of the time. From early on, computers amazed us with their speed. And it is speed that makes AI both dangerous and inevitable. Right now, human pilots can outfly computers. But that won’t be the case for long. Computers are faster, and as AI pilots get better, they will begin to defeat human pilots. When that happens, nations around the world will be forced to arm autonomous machines in serious numbers. Any nation refusing to use AI in its defense will be vulnerable. The same thing will happen on the ground. Imagine an army of four-legged, dog-like robots armed...

By Mike Miller In this episode of  The Hypocrisy of the Left Knows No Bounds… I have a working theory about liberal hypocrisy. If my theory is incorrect, these people are even worse than we think they are. Anyway, I’m somewhat convinced that leftists are incapable of recognizing their own hypocrisy, particularly when they’re guilty of the very assertions about which they castigate conservatives. I don’t know how far up the hypocritical Democrat totem pole MSNBC’s “ Morning Joe ” Scarborough ranks, but this dude ain’t anywhere near the bottom. Scarborough — aka: Mr. Mika Brzezinski, in my book — histrionically  wailed about Donald Trump  throughout his presidency, as if the former president was the Devil’s own spawn. In a sense, Scarborough has only gotten more venomous since Trump left office. In a Twilight Zone-like mini screed on Tuesday’s “Morning Joe,”  Scarborough actually had the cojones to decry “people who get paid a lot of money to say” “catastrophic” th...

By RYAN MILLS Despite reports that the effort is “backfiring” and has “few big wins,” at least eleven states have passed legislation this year to combat public-investment strategies that prioritize left-wing social and environmental goals over providing the best financial return for taxpayers. Supporters of the conservative movement to bar public-asset managers from taking into account so-called environmental, social, and corporate governance factors, or ESG, say they’ve made great strides in the last two years building awareness of ESG and passing laws against it. “We’ve come in the last year and a half from nothing to having a quarter of the states passing stuff and having half of the states engaging,” said  Derek Kreifels , CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, a free-market non-profit that promotes fiscally responsible public policy. “To go from nothing to this in the last 18 months or so has been phenomenal.” The ESG movement looks beyond just financial retur...

By Alex Newman Amid a major power grab by the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) seeking to further empower the global agency, lawmakers and leaders across the United States are stepping up efforts to protect self-government, national sovereignty and the rights of all Americans. In fact, many in Congress and beyond say it is time for the U.S. government to defund and even withdraw from the WHO once again. Last week, governments from around the world sent delegates to the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva. They will be meeting until May 30. The main objective of this year’s confab is to radically extend the organization’s power over healthcare and citizens under the guise of improving “health” and fighting future disease outbreaks in a coordinated global fashion. Critics say it is a dangerous plan to centralize power in a corrupt agency controlled by Beijing. There are two primary methods of attack. First, using COVID and possible future pandemics as a pre...

By TYLER DURDEN At a moment the US and Chinese militaries have  halted all communications , a dangerous incident between the rival powers has occurred over the South China Sea. It happened last Friday, but the US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) only on Tuesday revealed the incident, alleging that a Chinese fighter jet engaged in an  "unprofessional intercept"  of an American spy plane flying in international airspace. The US statement described that a Chinese PLA J-16 fighter flew just in front of the nose of a US RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft, and INDOPACOM further published video of what it called an  "unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" .  Based on video of the intercept, the J-16 passes so close to the RC-135 that the  US aircraft's cockpit appears to shake from the turbulence  of the PLA plane's wake. "The RC-135 was conducting safe and routine operations over the South China Sea in international a...

By C.G. Jones The uber-popular fast food restaurant  Chick-fil-A  has recently published its  Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion  (DEI) statement, which appears to be a complete abandonment of its long-held Christian values. A statement recently released on the company  website  states that one of its "core values" is "that we are better together." Chick-fil-A's statement continued: "When we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can discover new ways to strengthen the quality of care we deliver: to customers, to the communities we serve and to the world. We understand that getting Better at Together means we learn better, care better, grow better and serve better. Chick-fil-A, Inc.'s commitment to being Better at Together means embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in everything we do." Chick-fil-A is infected with DEI and it will only be a matter of time before that place falls in every wa...

By Mike Miller What do you call a cocky governor of a solidly blue state who’s forced into a humiliating recall election after his draconian executive actions during the pandemic—which he was caught violating, several times — forced unnecessary hardships on millions of his state’s citizens? Two words:  Gavin Newsom . Or, “Governor Hair Gel,” to some. And, not to beat up on Newsom too much, but here’s a guy who saw  340,000 Californians flee his state  in 2022 for a myriad of reasons, including high violent crime rates,  out-of-control spending , excessive taxation, homeless encampments, public drug use, and other far-left issues. So what does the California governor take from that ? While  Newsom  continues to insist he won’t enter the 2024 Democrat presidential primaries, he does continue to tour key blue states — and also continues to take cheap shots at Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov.  Ron DeSantis . Coincidence? You make the call...
