On Wednesday morning, The New York Times released a bombshell story admitting Alaska Democrats conspired with their Washington handlers to find a second Dan Sullivan to run for a Senate seat in hopes of confusing enough voters to back him and not incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan, which would throw the race to Democrat and former Congresswoman Mary Peltola.
Shamefully but unsurprisingly, CNN openly defended Alaska Democrats on Wednesday’s Inside Politics, repeatedly asserting “it’s not illegal” and “not new” for both parties to engage in “dirty tricks,” and that “the law is the law” that settles in the favor of Democrats.
Legacy media have been sounding the alarm about deportations in Texas, but they are leaving out key details, painting law enforcement as criminals—and criminals as the victims.
One recent example is an investigative article on police in the small town of Ingram, Texas. The Ingram Police Department joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) program in 2025, which offers funding in exchange for enforcing immigration law—a major boost for a department with just two officers.
The Texas Tribune profiled Officer Jaron Alexander, who made traffic stops that caught illegal aliens and sent them to federal authorities. As a police officer, he enforced the law. Within a year, he and the town’s only other officer referred a whopping 10% of the town’s population as illegal aliens. The worst thing the outlet dug up about Alexander was allegations of affairs, which he denied.
The real shocker is that illegal aliens allegedly make up at least 10% of Ingram’s population. In fact, Latinos make up 45% of the town’s population—to the point that some have begun calling it “mini Guanajuato,” after the central Mexican state from which many of them came. But this wasn’t the headline for The Texas Tribune. Its story line was that Alexander enforced the law. Since when is a police officer doing his job newsworthy? Many communities across Texas participate in the 287(g) program, including Tarrant County, home to Fort Worth. One wonders why left-wing media would pick on a small town like Ingram.
The Texas Tribune is the house organ for Woke Democrats in Texas.
In the past five years the institutional discussions surrounding climate change have shifted noticeably from “net zero” goals (zero net carbon emissions from target countries) to a more mercenary debate over carbon taxation. The question on everyone’s mind is this: Who gets the most access to those delicious climate funds?
Who gets access to the cash is less important than who gets to manage the cash, but we’ll get to that issue in a moment.
The recent COP30 event held last week in Brazil was largely focused on wealth redistribution with a lesser emphasis on carbon reductions. Climate “financing” is the name of the game, and COP30 was largely a squabble over which countries will get the most access to the various carbon taxes and donations collected by global intermediaries. In fact, the conference was largely considered a failure.
Leftist Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota should be investigating the claims of a sprawling welfare-fraud network tied to the state’s Somali community – schemes that reportedly funneled taxpayer dollars overseas, including at least one terrorist group. Instead, her office’s social media team attempted, one day before Thanksgiving, to launch a propaganda campaign on affordability on X that backfired spectacularly, culminating in a humiliating Community Note that exposed her sheer cluelessness.
Klobuchar’s X post attempted to blame the entire power bill crisis on President Trump, with a graphic showing a parabolic line rising to the right that would alarm anyone.
“Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high,” Klobuchar wrote on X, adding, “American families deserve better.”
The Community Note read, “Joe Biden was President from January 20, 2021 – January 20, 2025. Also, this chart is not representing the cost of electricity. It is showing the average past-due balances of Americans, which soared since 2022 under Joe Biden’s presidency.”
Certain myths survive from a period of trauma. They can be wholly incorrect and yet widely believed by nearly all living experts. The myth keeps moving from generation to generation and becomes doctrine, one which we dare not question for fear of contradicting the settled consensus. It so happens that “everyone knows” something that is entirely incorrect.
Asian-American students make up a record 43.2% of Harvard’s incoming freshman class, more than double their share when Students for Fair Admissions first sued the school alleging racial discrimination in admissions.
Perhaps the day will come when the Harvard student body consists of Asians and Jews rather than Brown People and Blue Haired White People.
Take out a pencil, draw a line down the center of the page and on the left hand-column write out every individual, nation, organization, institution and political movement that is aligned with, and advanced the global warming/climate change agenda.
Then, on the right-hand column, write out every individual, nation, organization, institution and political movement that is aligned with, advances the interests of, and support for Ukraine.
The campaign of Alaska Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola helped recruit Dan J. Sullivan to enter the race to draw votes away from her Republican opponent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, the New York Times reported Wedmesday.
According to the Times, Elisa Rios, Peltola’s former campaign manager and longtime aide who was fired in August, said Peltola was “definitely aware” of the plot to recruit Dan J. Sullivan, who is running as an independent in the closely watched race that could help decide control of the Senate.
The plot, beginning in the summer of 2025, reportedly involved Peltola’s campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
“Alaskan voters need to know,” Rios told the Times. “There was a lot of speculation, and voters should get the full picture when making their decisions.”
“The Alaskans for Mary campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign and did not recruit any candidates into the race,” the campaign wrote in a statement to the Times.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also told the Times that it had “no involvement” in recruiting the other Sullivan “or any other Republican candidate.” The committee did not immediately respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.
Last Friday, the Justice Department sued Alaska to block certification of the state’s U.S. Senate race . The administration alleged in an Oct. 23 complaint that the presence of Dan J. Sullivan on the ballot caused confusion.
“The sole purpose of [Dan J. Sullivan’s] candidacy is to benefit the Peltola campaign by reducing the number of votes for Senator Sullivan,” the DOJ complaint said.
It is a peculiar truth of our age that the most ancient of threats now wears the mask of progress. The air, once thick with the honest grime of industry, now carries a new and more insidious smog, a vapour of ideas which, if inhaled for long enough, breeds a profound and willing blindness. One detects its presence in the lecture halls, in the tweets of those paid by well-funded pressure groups, and in the green-tinged rhetoric that speaks of community while plotting the ruin of the very thing it purports to save.
The threat is the old creed of collectivism, freshly scrubbed and presented as a solution, and its target is the land beneath our feet.
Consider the proposition, now circulating with increasing boldness, that property is theft. It is a phrase of a certain theatrical simplicity, the sort that appeals to the intellectual whose only connection with the soil is the view from a train window or the curated wildness of a public park. The argument, as put forth by the Anarchist Communist Group and fellow-travellers in movements like the Common Weal, runs thus: that the distribution of land in Britain is a monstrous injustice, a relic of the Norman Conquest, and that the only path to justice is to hold the land in common. They point, with a sort of grim satisfaction, to the statistic that less than one percent of the population owns the lion’s share of the country. The image is conjured of a nation of Lords and Commoners, a feudal drama played out on grouse moors and in the shadow of unaffordable housing.
The American Medical Association Foundation has revived racial preferences in its scholarships for medical students, the watchdog Do No Harm alleges.
Do No Harm sent a letter to the IRS in April, noting that some of the foundation’s scholarships explicitly stated that only medical students of certain races qualify. While the foundation initially removed the scholarship opportunities from its website, it appears to have restored them.
“Simply put, these valuable and lucrative scholarship opportunities cannot be awarded based on race,” Dr. Kurt Miceli, chief medical officer at Do No Harm, told the Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday.
“The AMA Foundation has done little to remedy the substantial problems identified in our original complaint regarding its Physicians of Tomorrow program,” Miceli said. “Months later, race-based scholarships remain in place, having undergone only superficial changes.”
The AMA Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the largest professional association of physicians and medical students in the United States. Its Physicians of Tomorrow program provides scholarships for medical school students.
The most obnoxious lie that erupts routinely in the “independent media” is that Trump’s Department of Justice is weaponized in a way that no Democrat has ever contemplated. It’s like they all observed everything that the Biden Justice Department did to put Trump and his allies in jail and considered it to be the most nonpartisan thing imaginable.
Team Biden going after the opposing party is nonpartisan? This is the thoroughly partisan prism the leftist media use to distort our politics. Democracy is healthy when Democrats win. Autocracy is descending when Democrats lose.
See the latest claims of The New York Times editorial board: Trump “has dismantled the Justice Department’s legacy as an impartial enforcer of federal law, turning it into an instrument of retribution against his adversaries while canceling investigations into his allies.” Team Biden’s lawfare against Trump and prosecution of over 1,500 people over the January 6 riot was implausibly presented in this argument as “impartial enforcement,” not Biden’s “retribution.”
As we’ve often said here, the Elitist Media Evening News is a consistent anti-news outfit. Time is often stuffed with fluff so as to avoid coverage of important stories. A rare exception, though, on NBC Nightly News, which was the only network newscast to report on the heated exchange between the United States and Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly.
If you want to know why 60% of men in the US (35-years-old or younger) have never been married and say they don’t plan on getting married, study the behavior of modern women and you will find your answers in abundance. In other words, women are the problem.
Around 43% of first-time marriages in the US end in divorce. But that’s just the beginning – 67% of second marriages end in divorce and 75% of third marriages end in divorce. In 1960, the national divorce rate was less than 1%. What happened? The cancer of feminism happened.
Women are psychologically far more likely to embrace group cooperation, group compliance and communal orientation. Feminism taps into these inherent collectivist tendencies and uses female group-think to encourage destructive and morally reprehensible behavior in individuals. Many women follow along; some fear being ostracized from the group, and others simply love the feeling of power that the mob gives them.
(This is how we get millions of women showing blind support for a child killer like Lindsay Clancy)
Karlyn Borysenko, a self-described anti-communist analyst who monitors the far left, published an alarming video highlighting what she characterizes as calls for a visions about the Chicago School nurse’s potential overlap between far-left activism and taxpayer-funded educational institutions.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ordered six guilty verdicts reinstated in a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud case, overturning a judge’s controversial decision to acquit a healthcare company owner after a jury found him guilty.
On Monday, the three-judge panel rejected Hennepin County District Judge Sarah West’s ruling that Abdifatah Abdulkadir Yusuf may have been unaware of fraudulent activity at his company, Promise Health Service LLC, the New York Post reported.
Yusuf was convicted in August 2025 after prosecutors showed that his company submitted more than 40,000 fraudulent Medicaid claims between 2019 and 2022, including bills for healthcare services never provided.
A fight over Israel is fracturing the socialist movement just as it stands within reach of capturing the Los Angeles mayor’s office.
Why it matters: The same socialist movement celebrating its ascendancy through New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is now debating whether to disown Nithya Raman before Los Angeles voters can even weigh in.
By the numbers: Raman leads incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in recent polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election, though many voters remain undecided.
State of play: On Oct. 4, DSA’s National Political Committee found that the chapter violated endorsement rules by failing to ask Raman about BDS, but stopped short of invalidating its support.
Sticking point: The Democratic Socialists of America’s published endorsement requirements say candidates must actively support BDS and avoid affiliations with the Israeli government or “Zionist lobbying groups.”

A federal judge in Chicago sentenced Parth Nayi, 29, of Woodridge, to two years in prison and a $50,000 fine on Thursday for organizing staged armed robberies so the people “robbed” could apply for ‘U visas’ (which are reserved for crime victims who help police), according to the DOJ. Nayi pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud.
The government says migrants paid Nayi between $5,000 and $30,000 for each fake robbery. He hired the robbers, coached the fake victims on how to report the crime to police, and then helped them apply for the visa, which is open to victims of certain crimes who cooperate with law enforcement and can lead to permanent residence. The staged holdups hit restaurants, liquor stores, gas stations and coffee shops.
One of them went wrong. On July 13, 2023, a “robbery crew” entered Bucktown Food & Liquor in Chicago, and one of the robbers accidentally fired his gun, shooting a 26-year-old clerk in the abdomen, according to CWB Chicago. The clerk survived. The shooting is what began to unravel the operation.
State legislative races this cycle could determine how elections are run for decades, with the potential for future laws on voter ID, undermining the Electoral College, noncitizen voting, and ranked-choice voting.
States could have enough votes after the elections to trigger the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, according to a report by the conservative group Honest Elections Project Action. Under the compact, a state would give its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner of a presidential election. The compact takes effect only if participating states can contribute a total of 270 electoral votes.
After Virginia entered the compact, the current member states collectively hold 222 electoral votes—just 48 votes away from 270. Five states outside the compact currently have divided government but appear to be leaning Democrat in legislative races: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
“Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are perennial presidential battlegrounds with 61 electoral votes between them,” the report says. “Each has divided government today but could become a Democrat trifecta on November 3rd.”
The report, released just one week before the midterms, contends the state legislative races “will decide what rules will govern the 2028 presidential election.”
LINKED TO: “Linked to” in news stories means “there is a strong correlation but we can’t really say that there’s a causal link without being called out for it, but we’re going to write as if there actually was a causal link because otherwise we wouldn’t be able to stir people up and get more clicks”.
Black Baptist parents in Maryland are suing local and state agencies after losing custody of their son in a transgender dispute. They say their son eventually attempted suicide while in foster care.
The parents, listed in the lawsuit as Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, sued the state’s Department of Human Services, Prince George’s County Department of Social Services, a social worker, the foster mother, and other officials earlier this month. They claim that officials treated their Christian faith as evidence of parental unfitness because they did not support LGBTQ identities.
“The Does’ faith and religious liberty brought the weight of their own government against them,” Amos Jones, the parents’ attorney, told the Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “We are calling on Governor Wes Moore and County Executive Aisha Braveboy to correct this affront to Christian families in a county full of traditionalist black megachurches.”
The son, who was diagnosed with autism, had engaged in self-cutting, and the parents took him to Children’s National Hospital, Jones told the Daily Signal. The staff there began referring to the son by a female name and referred him to Prince George’s County Child Protective Services.
According to the lawsuit, authorities removed the son from his parents’ custody and placed him with a foster mother. After some time with the foster mother, the son attempted suicide, and ended up in the hospital. The parents also claim their son had been carried across state lines without their knowledge.
Almost 90,000 immigrants have tried a legal maneuver to escape detention, but an appeals court ruling just significantly undermined that part of the Left’s anti-deportation strategy.
ProPublica has tracked 89,170 cases in which immigrants filed writs of habeas corpus, challenging the lawfulness of their detention or imprisonment. The scale is extraordinary. Immigrants filed more habeas cases during the first 13 months of Trump’s second term than during the previous three administrations combined.
The cases aren’t materializing in an institutional vacuum, either. A network of advocacy groups has developed litigation resources, turning habeas corpus into a major front in the fight over President Donald Trump’s deportation program.
However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit on Friday ruled that detention without a hearing does not violate the due process rights of immigrants.
“The ACLU and the Left oppose immigration detention because they know it often results in deportation,” Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center, told the Daily Signal on Tuesday. “The Left opposes deportation because it erodes their political power.”
This dispute dates all the way back to 1958, when Congress, worried about juvenile delinquency in the aftermath of the then-scandalous movie “Rebel Without a Cause” (which involved a knife-fighting scene), passed the Federal Switchblade Act of 1958.
This act prohibits the knowing introduction, manufacture for introduction, transportation, or distribution into interstate commerce of any switchblade knife, which is defined as a knife that opens automatically by pressing a button or applying pressure to the handle or by inertia or gravity or both. Think of a butterfly knife.
Anyone who violated the act could be fined up to $2,000, imprisoned up to five years, or have both punishments applied.
Fast forward 66 years after Congress passed the Federal Switchblade Act, and a group of plaintiffs challenged the act’s provisions, arguing that they violate the Second Amendment, which broadly guarantees the right to “keep and bear Arms.”
A Council official turned up at the home of YouTube pianist Brendan Kavanagh – better known as Dr K – to investigate his 12-year-old daughter Zoe’s pretend teddy bear cafe for illegal trading.
Yes, really. Stuffed animals, toy tea sets, play money, and a handwritten “prices” sign in a family property triggered a formal Bedford Borough planning department visit after a complaint about an “illegal cafe.”
Kavanagh filmed the arrival and the tour. The official showed ID outside, then walked through the setup of teddies around a table with cups and cakes. Obviously, no actual trading was happening with real customers. Just a child’s game in a private home. Threatening letters had already arrived from the council’s planning department.
A geothermal startup aiming to source energy directly from undersea volcanoes just hit a major milestone that could bring round-the-clock clean energy to cities on the northwest coast of the United States and serve as a critical proof of concept for other regions, with particular relevance for the other 14 countries situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Seattle-based energy startup Endurance Energy just announced that it successfully created net-positive energy from its underwater geothermal plant in a world first. The company successfully demonstrated a full operations cycle from drilling to electricity generation in a major breakthrough for next-gen clean energy tech. Although the demonstration created less than 10 seconds of positive energy production, the implications of those ten seconds are hard to overstate.
Cue enviro-Nazi lawsuits and tons of government regulations.
A shocking new ad supporting Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed blames Israel for rising grocery prices, triggering allegations of antisemitism.
The spot shows a couple in a grocery store grumbling over the prices of eggs and bananas — and claiming that US aid to Israel is the reason they can’t afford the staples.
“Honey, you’re going to have to put those eggs back,” the woman says. “They like eggs, but we have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians.”
On Monday, The View continued its one-sided praise of the Democratic election candidate with just eight days to go until the midterm elections, as the show praised former President Obama and defended Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
‘Islamophobic’ is a made-up word so that Muslims can claim to be victims. A ‘phobia’ is an irrational fear, and fear of Islam is entirely rational. Just read the headlines.
Quelle surprise. On Saturday night, a mass shooting broke out at the Florida A&M homecoming game. Eleven people suffered gunshot wounds, with a twelfth injuring an ankle in the rush to flee the scene. Half of the victims are minors, with one just 11 years old.
Police arrested one alleged perp late yesterday and announced it this morning. They took a 15-year-old suspect into custody and charged him with attempted murder, but police say more arrests will come. The shooting started as a fight between two individuals.
By the incompetence of the shooting I suggest that the perpetrators were Children of Color, especially since race or ethnicity aren’t mentioned in the few reports one can find online..
Get this: the reason that a color revolution is underway at all in America is not really political anymore – if it ever even was. It’s because a whole lot of people have committed crimes against this country. And with each wave of attempted sedition, they have compounded their crimes with more seditious acts, arrant hoaxes, lawfare, election fraud, censorship, and wholesale looting of taxpayer dollars to keep themselves out of prison.
That’s what USAID was all about, and why it was taken down early in Trump 2.0. It was a nexus of racketeering and the home-base of the Deep State’s foot soldiers, bureaucrats who actually managed the money streams to NGOs that ran everything from election rigging operations to vast social services fraud in blue states, in concert with a Democratic Party that had nothing but rackets to keep it going.
That’s how the USAID’s defunct office of Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) has morphed into the new Democracy Renewal Group (DRG). This new DRG operates under another project called Branch-4 – as in a fourth branch of government, the permanent bureaucracy – and Branch-4 operates under an NGO called the Action Center on Race and the Economy Institute (ACRE Institute), a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Chicago (EIN 82-1199695). Note, the ACRE Institute’s primary funders include the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. You see how byzantine this is, echoing exactly the hyper-complex administrative workings of government bureaucracy itself?
And so, that’s why, for instance, one Eric Manton, a former USAID employee now working with DRG said, “. . . we are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations.” Blocking? What they mean by that is federal employees lodged in the official agencies should “help run out the clock. . . develop selective hearing. . . forgetfulness. . . or blame your workload” for whatever it takes to block enforcement of any executive action proposed by the Trump administration.
Don’t call them ‘conspiracy theories’—call them ‘spoiler alerts’.
By the late 1960s, physician, sailor and navigator David Lewis had become increasingly concerned that a remarkable body of human knowledge was in danger of disappearing forever. Across the Pacific, the last generation of traditional deep-sea navigators—whose orally transmitted knowledge allowed them to guide canoes across thousands of miles of ocean—were ageing and dying. Determined to record what they knew before it was lost, Lewis spent years sailing with these master mariners, attempting to understand how they navigated.
The result was We, the Navigators, first published in 1972. Drawing on his research among traditional sailors in Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia, Lewis documented in meticulous detail the techniques by which Pacific sailors found their way across the open seas without the charts and instruments of modern navigation. This landmark account of how a traditional knowledge system worked in practice also helped illuminate one of history’s great puzzles: how ancient peoples had crossed and settled an ocean covering almost a third of the Earth’s surface. In the decades since Lewis’s original research, archaeology, linguistics and, most recently, genetics have revealed ever more detail about this extraordinary feat.
Last Friday a 39-year-old gunman named Kevin T. went on a shooting spree in two suburbs of Paris (Trappes and La Verrière), killing one person and wounding seven others. The murderer reportedly selected persons of color as his targets.
As reported here last night French President Emmanuel Macron said that the attack was the first terrorist act in France committed for reasons of skin color or religion.
The photo at the top of this post shows the aftermath of the massacre that killed 90 people at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on November 13, 2015. The killers were mujahideen for the Islamic State, and targeted their victims for religious reasons, i.e. because the latter were not Muslims.
However, the incident evidently does not count as an attack “for reasons of skin color or religion”. As we all know, Muslims and/or brown people who kill white non-Muslims can never be said to have racist or religious motives.
Those are just the rules of the game, even though they make no sense.
Comey is already under indictment on charges that he threatened the president by posting a photo of seashells arranged to read “86 47.” A previous indictment accusing Comey of lying to Congress was dismissed.
The new charges allege that Comey, through one or more co-conspirators, directed an unnamed person to disclose national defense information to a reporter for a national news publication in 2016.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 10-7 that illegal immigrants in ICE custody during removal proceedings do not have a constitutional right to bond hearings.
The en banc court reversed a prior panel decision that found the detention policy violated due process rights and sided with the Trump administration’s arguments on mandatory detention.
The ruling comes ahead of a Supreme Court case addressing similar questions about federal immigration detention statutes and the rights of detained immigrants.
What if scientists could turn back the biological clock of an 80-year-old human cell, making it behave like one from someone younger than 20? Researchers in Germany have accomplished just that, reversing more than 60 years of molecular aging while transforming blood cell precursors into neural stem cells capable of producing neurons.
The discovery, made by scientists at the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn, could provide new insights into one of biology’s biggest mysteries: how aging can be reversed at the cellular level. Unlike previous methods that reset a cell’s molecular age relatively quickly, this approach works gradually, allowing researchers to watch the rejuvenation process unfold over more than 100 days.
Published in Aging Cell, the study offers scientists an unusual opportunity to investigate what drives cellular rejuvenation, what slows it down, and whether those mechanisms could eventually help address age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
The growing divide between men and women has been in the spotlight of cultural commentary for years now, but a unique aspect of it is often overlooked: That divide, while real, isn’t equally caused by both sides.
A recent survey from the Survey Center on American Life has found that while 26% of young Republican men say that women are to blame for men’s problems, a staggering 66% of young Democratic women blame women’s problems on men.
Perhaps this shouldn’t be surprising in a culture dealing with a dating, marriage, and sex recession, but it is disheartening. The reality is that we live in a world where bestselling books like “How to Date Men When You Hate Men,” and “dump him” sweaters aren’t so much controversial as they are superfluous. In many circles today, dating has been all but stamped out as a microaggression, annoying, or even … cringe.

After a late-night ballot dump and several emergency court rulings, Joe Biden was declared the surprise winner of Brazil’s presidential election, securing 81 million votes.
