The liberal ladies of ABC’s “bona fide news program” The View clutched their pearls on Monday in reaction to President Trump banning journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. “Can you imagine if Obama had done this,” they shouted. However, we don’t have to imagine it because he did do that; and during the Biden administration, The View cast wanted Fox News shutdown and all their employees prosecuted for “recruiting domestic terrorists.”

Proclaiming that what she was about to say was “not hyperbolic,” Navarro insisted that what Trump was doing was “what communist dictators exactly do in places like North Korea and Cuba and Nicaragua and Venezuela. They censor and shut down the free press[.]”

She would go on to lead the show in once again violating ABC’s broadcast license by electioneering, and telling their audience to vote for candidates who would oppose Trump:

A parental rights group is accusing the nation’s largest school counselors association of repackaging critical race theory and queer theory under the banner of “neurodiversity” and “neuro-affirming counseling.”

The parental rights group Courage Is a Habit warns in a new report that the American School Counselor Association‘s neurodiversity framework effectively turns counselors into left-wing activists intent on changing an “oppressive” status quo.

“‘Neuro-affirming counseling’ is a dishonest rebranding designed to capture every student under an unchallengeable, non-medical umbrella,” Courage Is a Habit President Alvin Lui told the Daily Signal. “It’s the new operational vehicle for critical race theory and queer theory in K-12 schools.”

Lui warned that “‘neuro-affirming’ frameworks bypass parents to initiate social-emotional interventions without explicit, written consent.”

We’re accustomed to reading about suicide bombings carried out by Islamic “extremists” against infidel targets — churches, synagogues, marketplaces, and anywhere else where the unbelievers gather in large numbers. However, Muslims slaughter other Muslims en masse all the time, even (or especially) at mosques. And such attacks are always religiously justified by the perpetrators, using Islamic law and citing the Koran and hadith in support.

A recent case in point was Friday’s attack on a mosque in the city of Kohat in Pakistan. Kohat is in the northwestern part of Pakistan. The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is usually described as “restive” in the Western press, which means it is riddled with groups of violent zealots, some of whom have an affinity for or an alliance with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The attack occurred during Friday prayers (when else?) at the mosque, which is part of a complex that includes a police station. A suicide bomber and a number of armed mujahideen stormed and occupied the complex, killing twenty-three people (most of them police officers) before they themselves were killed.

I don’t know what the specific theological justification for the attack was, but I’m sure the martyrs for Allah had one. Perhaps the imam at the mosque preached ridda (blasphemy). Or maybe the police and the mosque attendees were guilty of kufr (unbelief, which is what the filthy kuffar are guilty of). Or maybe they were mushrikun, those who commit the sin of shirk (which is usually translated as “polytheism”, but has a somewhat more nuanced meaning: the association of Allah with other gods — Christians, for example, are mushrikun, due to their adherence to the doctrine of the Trinity). And there are dozens of other Arabic terms for sins that are grievous in the eyes of Allah and are punishable by death.

It wasn’t a Sunni-vs.-Shi’ite conflict, however, since the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) that claimed responsibility for the attack is Sunni, like the Taliban and the vast majority of Muslims in Pakistan, including the worshippers at the mosque in Kohat.

So what was the issue for the shahideen who devastated the mosque and massacred all those cops?

My guess is that the issue was the secular nature of the central government in Pakistan, which is why the police were targeted. Full-bore Islamic zealots consider anything less than a full-sharia regime like the Taliban or the Islamic State to be an affront to Allah and deserving of death.

When a religion rewards violence, then violence will follow wherever that religion goes.

Last night I posted the testimony given by Dr. Crystal Luchkiw at the Allison Inquiry on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, which was investigating the adverse consequences reported by people who received one or more of the COVID-19 “vaccines”.

After her testimony, Vlad interviewed Dr. Luchkiw outside the venue. He and the doctor agreed that what we have been seeing in Canada (and much of the rest of the West) is the ascendancy of the collective at the expense of individual rights. It is, in fact, the final victory of the Revolution, almost a hundred years after the Long March Through the Institutions began.

The result is a political structure that is socialist in nature, but not according to the old Soviet model. What has emerged in the 21^st century is a syndicalist model in which the state and large corporations have engineered a de facto merger. Although the corporations are the more powerful half of the arrangement, and can dictate terms to nominally sovereign governments, the combination may viewed as operationally the same as an all-powerful fascist State.

Or, in Benito Mussolini’s famous formulation:

“Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

The power of that State depends upon the maintenance of the Narrative. Unless the populace universally believes in the Narrative (or pretends to believe in it), State control may be at risk.

California entrepreneur Eric Schiffer warned that the state’s proposed billionaire wealth tax could drive some of its most successful business leaders out of California, predicting a “giant sucking sound” of entrepreneurs heading for the exits if voters approve the measure.

Schiffer, chairman of family office Patriarch and CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, told FOX Business that he works with several billionaire clients, including some in California, and said many are unhappy about the proposal.

“I think the impact of this passing in California is a giant sucking sound of all of these entrepreneurs being sucked out of California because they’re just not going to want to stay,” Schiffer said.

“Giant sucking sound” is California in a nutshell.

Caribbean countries will teach children to be activists so they can claim reparations from Britain for generations.

Mia Mottley, the prime minister of Barbados, has hosted a conference over the past week to discuss strategies for obtaining compensation for slavery.

Government-backed experts have devised an “action plan”, which includes training children to continue the dispute with former colonial powers for decades to come.

It has been recommended that nations seeking reparations create and fund “institutional youth leadership” training to ensure a “succession” of advocates within the reparation movement.

No mention of reparations from the Arab world, who enslaved more Africans than were brought across the Atlantic.

No mention of reparations from West African nations like Ghana, who actually enslaved their ancestors and sold them to whoever would buy. In fact, Ghana is pushing for its own brand of ‘reparations’.

Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings has long puzzled archaeologists. Might hidden chambers — suspected to hold the remains of Nefertiti — lie beyond its walls? Now, researchers say they have found new evidence pointing to this controversial conclusion.

The decision of whether to peek into the supposed chambers, a few metres from the existing tomb, is in the hands of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. If approved, careful drilling to deploy miniature tractors equipped with cameras could start in November, co-author of the study George Ballard told Nature.

The researchers conducted a range of geophysical surveys, including the first use of gravitational techniques to probe the density of ground around the site, as well as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) from inside the tomb. Taken together with studies of the tomb structure, the ground around it and wall paintings, the data strongly suggest that there is a “hidden complex” of corridors and rooms that pre-dates the entombment of Tutankhamun, says lead researcher Mamdouh Eldamaty, an archaeologist at Ain Shams University in Cairo and former antiquities minister of the Egyptian government.

New public records indicate that faculty members at Utah Valley University sent hostile messages regarding Charlie Kirk to the university’s administrators in the weeks following his assassination on the UVU campus, even though the university had previously issued public statements advocating civility and free expression.

Judicial Watch obtained the 133 pages of emails and text messages through a Utah Government Records Access and Management Act request. The records went to then-UVU President Astrid S. Tuminez and other administrators.

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on the UVU campus while launching a nationwide campus speaking tour. University administrators spent the following months talking about healing and dialogue. Some of the correspondence flowing into the university president’s inbox tells a different story.

A recent editorial in the New York Times titled “This California Educational Juggernaut Doesn’t Need the SAT,” highlighted the mentality that has led to the erosion of merit in our nation’s top schools and the flagging public support that was once near universal.

The author of the piece, Miriam Pawel, acknowledged that the University of California’s abandonment of the SAT, which had already become quite watered down in recent decades, may have led to a less able student body, but that it didn’t matter.

By admitting more nonwhite students with weaker test scores, the state is fixing inequality through DEI by giving them a new leg up in a world that’s unfair to them, or something like that.

What about exceptional student applicants who don’t check the correct, “historically oppressed” boxes? Meh, too bad.

Ensuring America has secure elections might be the largest and most consequential fight for conservatives ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. Requiring identification and proof of citizenship to vote is an 80-20 issue for Americans, and conservatives are fighting to deliver it.

The SAVE Act, which would establish a requirement for voter ID and proof of citizenship for voter registration, has passed the U.S. House multiple times, but the Senate has repeatedly failed to pass any version of it. Instead of waiting around for the Senate to act, state officials are taking it into their own hands.

Multiple states have already passed their own versions of the SAVE Act. A charge led by the State Freedom Caucus Network, a group of state elected conservatives, is advancing legislation in Arizona, South Dakota, and Wyoming, with more to come.

Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told the Daily Signal at the network’s annual summit that this is “absolutely” a solution to the Senate refusing to act. Self was a keynote speaker at the summit in Dallas, Texas.

Our brain may be a hybrid of two ancient nervous systems that were packaged together hundreds of millions of years ago. This is based on the finding that the front and back brain regions in people and several other species develop from two distinct cell types in embryos, instead of sharing the same developmental origin, as previously thought.

“Our research suggests that evolution took two existing neural systems and pushed them together spatially,” says Kyle Loh at Stanford University. “Having the brain as one organ would probably be more efficient, but we rely on this primordial way to make the brain as two separate pieces.”

“J” from Men In Black is a font of wisdom. But for the Middle East in general and Gaza in particular: “Don’t start nothin’ won’t be nothin’” seems particularly apt. Maybe Ed Sheeran and Macklemore should take a lesson too.

On multiple occasions since the late 1940’s the option to have their own State had been on the table. All the potential Palestinians had to do was sit down, shut up, and play nice with their neighbors. But at each opportunity they have chosen violence instead. Not satisfied with half a loaf, they repeatedly risked everything to try to get it all. Their success would mean destruction of Israel and the Jews therein. And they failed each time. They should consider themselves fortunate to have what they have.

I don’t know about you, but when we look for words of wisdom on world issues, we tend to shy away from anyone whose primary audience is toddlers on YouTube. In particular Rachel Griffin Accurso, better known as “Ms. Rachel,” who has once again inserted herself into an international firestorm, by calling on “every wealthy, white celebrity” to match her $1 million donation to support Palestine.

The call comes in the wake of rapper Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour after Macklemore called to “Free Palestine” during a 2-minute speech followed by a performance of his anti-Israel song Hinds Hall during his opening act at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sept. 4th and 5th.

After his dismissal, the rapper announced on Instagram he was donating his tour proceeds to six different charities, some with alleged terrorist ties- the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), HEAL Palestine, Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, UNRWA USA National Committee and American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA).

Bernie Sanders is a man of many eras. The senator and political activist from Vermont began his career in the early 1960s, taking part in sit-ins against segregated housing, and marched in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Today, the self-styled “progressive” has a new calling: pushing for much stricter restrictions on artificial intelligence, including an outright ban on what his proposal defines as “Artificial Superintelligence”—artificial intelligence that can “match or exceed human cognitive performance and capabilities across a broad range of domains or tasks.”

…

Pinker makes a valid point that this is not necessarily the same thing as human intelligence. It does indeed have a different profile of strengths and weaknesses as compared to humans. But regardless of the accuracy of the term, capability of the kind embodied by advanced AI systems is rare. It is valuable. Having a problem-solving tool of that power available on demand is an extraordinary prospect.

Why does Bernie Sanders think this is such a bad thing?

Because proglodytes are stuck in 1900. Consider their fetish about trains.

When CNN’s Erin Burnett wants to offer up a hot take, she launders it through former Trump lawyer-turned anti-Trump doomsday prophet Ty Cobb. Earlier this week, Burnett welcomed Cobb to spread baseless conspiracy theories about the upcoming midterms, while in August, she invited Cobb to compare the Trump DOJ to a cast of Nazis. This Friday, Cobb was more diverse in his dictator analogies as he suggested Trump’s effort to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House was part of a Hitlerian, Stalinist, and Putinist dream to shut them down altogether.

Burnett began by putting the ball on the tee, “I want to go now to Ty Cobb. He’s a former Trump White House lawyer. Ty, from a legal standpoint, does Trump have any basis to ban CNN, MS NOW, Politico? And he says more to come from the White House.”

A week ago, NBC’s Saturday edition of Today highlighted what it considered an in-depth report from its Boston affiliate on the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial but in reality was just a doxing operation. Now, a week later, correspondent Emilie Ikeda reported on the threats to the juror but omitted any role NBC had in exposing the man to threats and harassment.

Ikeda began by declaring that, “The sole holdout is breaking his silence, publicly identifying himself as Michael Desronvil. In a statement shared by his attorney, he said he kept getting cut off during deliberations and that he thought the prosecution had enough proof that Clancy knew exactly what she was doing and planned, also saying, ‘I didn’t have any doubts.’ In contrast to what other jurors, including the foreperson, have suggested since the mistrial.”

She then played a clip of jury foreperson Roni Carlson telling NBC10 Boston, “He admitted he had reasonable doubt, and I started filling out the forms…and then he said, but I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.”

Of the world’s “holidays,” Talk Like a Pirate Day (or, to use its full name, International Talk Like a Pirate Day) is probably not high on most people’s list. It was promulgated in 1995 by two guys in Oregon named John Baur and Mark Summers who were playing racquetball. One injured himself and said, “Aaarrr!” Given the associations of this phrase with stereotypical piratical conversation, the two decided that a day (September 19 was chosen) should be established in which all talked like pirates. What they mean, the scholars say, is to talk in the dialect of the West Country, meaning South West England.

Yet, whether it is widely celebrated is less interesting than its premise that we all know—or think we do—what pirates sound like. We also all think we know what pirates look like.

Left-leaning labor unions and activist groups are seeking to influence artificial intelligence, not just in how it is deployed in schools and the federal government, but also in how technology companies build the AI models themselves.

The American Federation of Teachers, the U.S.’ second-largest teachers union and a major Democrat ally, has teamed up with Microsoft to craft rules for AI in education. The American Federation of Government Employees, a federal government union endorsing Democrats, aims to incorporate AI influence into union contracts. Meanwhile, the LGBTQ+ activist group GLAAD has published guidelines to shape the way AI companies build their systems.

Each group targets a different layer of the AI ecosystem. AFT shapes how AI enters classrooms. AFGE seeks influence over how government agencies deploy AI. GLAAD targets the underlying rules governing training data, content moderation, and AI model behavior.

“If Republicans in Congress continue to wait on passing commonsense AI safeguards, we are going to lose the fight to the activist Left,” Janet Kelly, CEO of the Alliance for a Better Future, told the Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Teachers unions and radical advocacy groups aren’t waiting. They are already working to pressure tech companies to strangle innovation and inject woke priorities directly into the code.”
