Christine Blasey Ford’s attorney Debra Katz told an audience at the University of Baltimore’s Feminist Legal Theory Conference in April that her client was politically motivated to testify against then-U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of alleged decades-old sexual assault.
Media will try to twist any stats to support their narrative. Via Daily Wire: A study purporting to show that hate crimes increased 226% in counties that hosted rallies for then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 has been officially debunked. Not only did the study’s authors fail to account for the fact that political campaigns prefer […]
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A U.S.-based Jewish foundation has held an event in Warsaw to honour Polish gentiles who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, with U.S. and Israeli diplomats also paying their respects to the elderly Poles who put their lives in danger decades ago to save others.
The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous pays monthly stipends to the rescuers in Eastern Europe, who are now in their 80s and 90s and living on small pensions.
The event Sunday, a luncheon, is an additional gesture of gratitude, something the foundation has done for years in Warsaw — the only place in Eastern Europe where there is a large enough number of rescuers to bring together.
All of the rescuers have been recognised as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial.

New York Times publishing-industry reporter Alexandra Alter interviewed novelist Margaret Atwood about The Testaments, a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, which has been repurposed as a hit streaming show and a source of feminist memes and protests against the Trump administration. The Times can’t shake the fantasy that the United States has transformed into some dystopian society under President Trump: "Some elements have become even more aligned with current events, with the erosion of reproductive rights, separation of parents from their children at the border and the…
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Hong Kong on Sunday, according to Yahoo News, to deliver a message to the United States consulate: please help us "liberate" Hong Kong from the Chinese.
The American flag has appeared regularly as part of the massive demonstrations that have occupied Hong Kong’s streets since mid-June, and protesters have often suggested that an American-style democracy is what they want — in stark contrast to their Chinese-controlled government.
Actress Kirstie Alley on Friday issued a blunt call for Hollywood liberals to get over themselves and stop persecuting Republicans. “I refuse to be part of the Hollywood a–hats who can’t see that ‘NOT working with Republicans’ is as stupid and NASTY as ‘REFUSING to do business with gay people’..STOP ACTING above the FRAY ya…
Beto O’Rourke is from Texas yet apparently isn’t familiar with the phrase “molon labe.” The ancient Greek phrase translates to “come and take it.” Its most famous use outside of the Battle of Thermopylae came during the Texas Revolution when the Mexican government came for a village’s cannon. In the years since it has become…
A burglar allegedly broke into a house in Florida, cooked himself breakfast, and told his victim to “go back to sleep,” police said.
Investigators claim Gavin Crim, a 19-year-old Marine, entered a property in Safety Harbor, Florida, at 4 a.m. Tuesday when the victim was at home, the Associated Press reported.
Deputies say Crim entered through an unlocked door. When the victim confronted Crim, he allegedly told the victim to “go back to sleep.”
The resident of the home told investigators he awoke to find the man cooking and eating inside his house around 4 a.m. on Tuesday. When the home’s occupant called 911, Crim fled the scene, Fox 13 Tampa reported.
Deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office found the alleged burglar in a wooded and swampy area behind the victim’s home and arrested him.
The arrest report stated that Crim was under the influence of alcohol when he broke into the residence.
A suspect was caught on video as he set fire to an American flag that flew from a neighbor’s porch last week in Orlando, Florida.
The video footage shows the alleged arsonist walking up to the flag and staring at it, then walking away. A few moments later he returns and proceeds to light the flag on fire. Reports said the entire incident lasted only seven minutes and the man left after the flag was completely burned.
Neighbor Jessica Harper told reporters she has no idea why someone would do such a thing.
“It was heartbreaking to see that someone was willing to go to those lengths. It looks like somebody was having a good time with some alcohol earlier in the evening, which probably played a part, but still doesn’t justify the action,” she commented.
Reports said the incident occurred at the home of a 45-year-old man on East Kaley Street in Wadeview Park.
“The homeowners Ring Doorbell camera captures the whole incident, in which a man walked up to the home, and used a lighter to set the flag on fire,” according to a Fox 35 report.
The man said he called police at about 5 p.m. to report that the flag on his property had been burned a few hours prior.
Reports said authorities are currently investigating the incident and added that the homeowner has since replaced the flag.
On June 14, Breitbart News reported that Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) introduced a constitutional amendment in honor of Flag Day that prohibits the burning of the American flag.
“Our United States flag is a timeless symbol of liberty that tells the story of America, the story of our enduring pursuit of freedom,” Daines said in a press release.
“Remembering the sacrifices of all who carried its colors into battle, our nation should always render the flag the honor and dignity it is due,” he concluded.
