Everyone’s favorite rewriter of American history Nikole Hannah-Jones is back in the news again; this time it’s not for the 1619 Project, but for bragging about how she has been a terrible parent to her daughter and robbed the poor kid of an education.

The New York Post reports that Hannah-Jones purposely sent her daughter to the worst school in New York, despite having the money, status, and time to send her to the best school.

Like Muslims, Magic Negroes love being victims more than they love their kids.

But thats okay—Natural Selection is a stone-cold bitch, and eventually their defective genes will get flushed out of the gene pool.

Last week, Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was the beneficiary of a massive fundraiser at the home of media producer Jeffrey Soros, yes, George’s nephew.

While a Soros raising money for a Democrat isn’t news—Uncle George and Cousin Alex have already contributed $102.8 million to races in 2026—it’s indicative of the hypocrisy of the Left.

El-Sayed has been outspoken in his aim of “getting money out of politics” while being bankrolled by his party’s “Daddy Warbucks.” Expensive campaigns can be a barrier for many candidates, but there are substantive and constitutional fixes beyond a blatant assault on the First Amendment (as per the Supreme Court), but for our purposes today, it leads us to Virginia’s constitutional amendments on the November ballot.

To date, based on Department of Elections data analyzed by the Virginia Public Access Project, the “Vote YES” campaigns are out-funding “Vote NO” efforts $3.75 million to $467,543. That’s not a typo: 9-to-1.

The abortion amendment is leading the way with $2.8 million for “Yes,” and then there’s the efforts of Winsome Earle-Sears.

You’ve probably never heard of Gaza photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and are unaware of an interview he gave earlier this month, where he criticized the Gaza media and Hamas, and at the same time, admitted not publishing photos showing Israeli captives being beaten in Gaza.  Aside from The Jerusalem Post and MEMRI’s coverage, you’d be hard pressed to find it anywhere else, certainly not prominently in our liberal media.

Azaiza gave the interview to Ahmed Biqui on the podcast Taqarrab, Azaiza.

According to the Post, “Azaiza said he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a Gazan mob on October 7 2023, but chose not to publish the footage because he feared it could put the Palestinians involved at risk. “I saw the vehicle of the Al-Qassam Brigades, and there were Israeli captives there, people got out, watched, beat them, hit them, and I followed them and filmed. But I did not publish those videos. Why? Because I did not want to ruin the lives of the people who were filmed.”

Azaiza said he understood that if he revealed the faces of those beating the Israelis, eventually Israel would eliminate each one, and added, “”I did not want to be responsible, even indirectly, for the deaths of those people in exchange for a few likes and views online.”

Of course Israel has been taking out October 7th leaders and participants one by one for many months now, but a journalist hiding the truth to protect terrorist thugs is exactly the problem that coverage of Israel and Gaza has been suffering for decades. And Azaiza described a much wider journalistic coverup in Gaza

Democratic Socialist Mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, has been a disaster for the city and she’s only been in office nine months. So far, multiple major corporate employers are leaving Seattle to avoid tax expansion, homeless camps are growing exponentially, she has triggered several public safety controversies, faced potential recall and plunging public approval.

Anyone with sense could have predicted this, but Seattle is a nesting ground for woke cultism and Wilson said all the right things during her campaign.

As with any far-left administration, it was only a matter of time before Wilson went after firearms rights. In a recent announcement on a “new approach to gun violence”, the Mayor calls for “preventing gun violence before it happens”. Part of this plan includes Wilson pushing for added restrictions to firearms carry in Washington.

A birth tourism operation in the Houston area has agreed to close in a settlement, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Friday.

The center “unlawfully facilitated over 1,000 births to foreign Chinese nationals,” Paxton posted on X.

Paxton’s office first sued the operation in late April, stating the De’Ai Postpartum Care Center primarily helped Chinese nationals travel to Texas to give birth and secure U.S. citizenship for their children.

The center had operated for years across multiple Houston-area properties. Locations included sites in Sugar Land, Houston, Richmond, and Rosenberg, according to details from the original state lawsuit.

At the end of July a mob of mostly military-age young men invaded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the coast of North Africa. Ceuta is made up of a single city situated on a peninsula that juts out from Morocco into the Mediterranean. The invaders swam around the sea barriers and broke through parts of the fence to gain access to Spanish territory, with hopes of being able to cross the sea to the European continent.

There are some indications that the invasion was enabled and coordinated by Moroccan authorities. Most of the invaders were not Moroccans, but from further south in Africa, or from other parts of the Middle East.

An estimated 70,000 to 80,000 “migrants” entered Ceuta. The Spanish government said that most of them have returned to Morocco, but somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 are thought to have remained in Ceuta, residing in shantytowns on the beach, or camping out in parks and empty buildings. Crime has become rampant, and sexual assaults against women have risen dramatically. Most of the rape victims are from the unfortunate minority of female migrants among the invaders, but a significant number of local Spanish women and girls have also been attacked.

New York Post.

To be clear, they’re American citizens, not American kids. They’ll be Chinese, not American, except in the artificial legal sense.

Wealthy Chinese couples are implanting their embryos into American women so their children can be born as US citizens, The Post has learned.

The service is provided by a surrogacy agency, Patriot Conceptions, which operates between China and the US and has been accused of hiding details of who the biological parents are from surrogates.

Women who carry babies for the agency are recruited informally through social media and collect between $60,000 and $120,000 dollars for their services.

That’s a lot of money to pay to guarantee that your children will be liable for U.S. taxes on their incomes no matter where they might actually live. Of course, that depends on the U.S. government being conscientious about collecting those taxes, and a good case could be made that “U.S. government” and “conscientious” don’t belong in the same sentence.

John Derbyshire was fond of saying that there wasn’t anything wrong with New York City that about a million ethnic Chinese wouldn’t fix, and, looking at the Chinese in Hong Kong and Singapore, I can’t say he’s wrong. I must say that, since we don’t appear to have any choice in the matter, I’d rather have rich Chinese kids as American citizens than poor Mexican or African kids.

When Codie Sanchez looks back on her earliest social media content, she does what many of us do when examining our internet past: She cringes.

“Some of the first videos we made, I’m like, My God. There’s money floating around in the air behind me, it makes me want to die,” Sanchez says. “But like any new business owner, you get talked into things that aren’t you.”

Despite those questionable early choices, Sanchez has since become an internet force. She’s collected a combined 15 million social media followers and authored the best-selling book Main Street Millionaire, largely by promoting the same message: You, too, can become an entrepreneur — and the path to success goes through small business ownership. It’s an insight drawn from her own background, which her fans know well: Sanchez began her career in finance, then started buying what she calls “boring businesses” like laundromats, car washes, and roofing companies. She realized that these are overlooked assets, because they already have established consumer bases, are straightforward to operate, and are surprisingly easy to acquire, because their owners are often aging out and have nobody else to sell the business to.

Cody Sanchez is a national treasure. Unfortunately, being an entrepreneur requires a certain attitude toward risk and hard work that very few people possess.

A Democrat may have just secured a midterm win for Republicans with one unexpected endorsement. House Democrat Jared Golden of Maine endorsed House Republican Mike Lawler of New York for reelection in an op-ed published in a newspaper in Lawler’s district Monday morning.

Golden published a glowing review of Lawler and their history of working together on bipartisan legislation in Congress. Since he is retiring this year and not seeking reelection, Golden is a free agent and does not have to fear party resentment.

“The Congress we get is the one we elect, and the country needs fewer members who treat the job as a stage and more who treat it as work,” Golden wrote in Lohud. “In New York’s Hudson Valley this fall, that is the choice on the ballot.”

Establishment Democrats have spent millions on this race, supporting Cait Conley to unseat Lawler. The endorsement could have undercut everything spent on Conley.

Just this month, the Justice Department arrested or charged at least 22 individuals in voter fraud-related crimes, while the Department of Homeland Security arrested and moved to deport at least four noncitizen voters.

The enforcement comes with weeks to go before the midterm elections, and as Senate Republicans have been unable to pass the SAVE America Act over a Democrat filibuster.

Last week, the Justice Department announced the arrests in Texas, which had more arrests than any single state, as well as Georgia and Michigan, which have competitive Senate races this year. Other states such as Wisconsin, usually a swing state, as well as Idaho, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, were contested.

The previous week, federal prosecutors charged six individuals with election crimes in California, Kansas, and Louisiana. Early in the month, the Justice Department made arrests in Pennsylvania.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”
