Reuters published an extensive analysis of U.S. leaders’ family trees Tuesday, finding that some had ancestors who owned slaves. Part one of “Slavery’s Descendants,” entitled “America’s Family Secret,” found more than 100 U.S. leaders with ties to America’s “original sin,” few of whom were willing to discuss it, the outlet said. “Five living presidents, two
Many have been wondering how much Hunter Biden and the Biden family truly profited from his connections with foreign sources. Luckily, Miranda Devine has that information, and she told Glenn Beck all of it and much, more more. Devine is the author of “Laptop from Hell,” an exposé on Hunter Biden and the Biden family
I always used to purchase Gillette shaving products. Gillette made products that appealed to me. When I was a boy, Gillette advertised the Friday night boxing matches. That was enough inducement for me. Perhaps Gillette also advertised the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, too, and shows about outdoor life, such as hunting and fishing. Yet,
The Russian Ministry of Defense says that the Wagner Group is preparing to hand over its heavy weapons — tanks and long-range artillery. This could mean that the private militia run by Yevgeny Prigozhin that mutinied against the Russian high command in Ukraine will soon disband. Or will it? The Ministry gave the mutineers a
A New York City man went viral on Monday for throwing pizza slices at city hall to protest newly proposed carbon-emissions standards that target Big Apple pizzerias. What is the background?

The United Nations is convinced that “online information pollution is an urgent global challenge” that can be remedied by an AI and a left-leaning cleanup crew. To stamp out dissenting views and hurtful opinions expressed online, especially those articulated in the form of memes, the U.N. Development Program has produced an AI-powered, speech-policing tool called
On Monday night’s Nightly News, NBC reporter Laura Jarrett presented a divisive and racially charged segment covering the possible Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. Jarrett interviewed incoming Mount Holyoke College president Danielle Holley, who claimed that striking down affirmative action was equivalent to telling minority students that they “are not welcome.” “A crucial Supreme Court ruling on
If you were wondering when we crossed the line into irreversible insanity allow me to enlighten you. No, it was not on a legislature’s floor, the Oval Office, the dark recesses of the World Economic Forum, or the formerly hallowed halls of academia. Nope. It happened this weekend in Knoxville, Tenn., and you probably missed
I was watching a couple of YouTube videos by Steve Lehto, who does a lot of idiosyncratic stuff commenting on law news. In this video, Steve talks about a lawyer who has gotten himself in trouble for having ChatGPT write a brief in a liability lawsuit for him, including citations, and got caught because the
The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows ignored BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s hypocritical comments on the term “ESG” and his unwavering support for woke investment principles. According to Axios, Fink claimed that he was “ashamed of being part of this conversation” about environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment strategies. He also ridiculously claimed that

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was fact-checked Monday after claiming Americans are more financially confident thanks to President Joe Biden.

Joy Reid, the eponymous host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, and The Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens teamed up on Monday night to accuse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of waging “the most openly fascist campaign” they can remember and to declare that this is what the Republican Party desires. Transitioning from talking about Donald Trump to DeSantis,
It can fairly be said that most Washington politicians are not the brightest bulbs in the room. If they were, they’d be managing a hedge fund or creating an app that would make them a gazillion dollars. That being said, even a dumb politician can wet his finger, stick it up in the air, and
The remains of Lacey Ellen Fletcher were found last January “melted” into her parents’ living room couch in Slaughter, Louisiana. The shocking discovery of the 36-year-old autistic woman’s body, which may have been stuck there for well over a decade in the lead-up to her death, was said by the overseeing coroner to have been
YouTube once again silenced opposition to the “transgender” movement, this time suspending BlazeTV.

The CEO of an artificial intelligence diversity hiring firm agreed to step down after an internal investigation found that she conducted a “fraudulent” scheme that raised millions by misleading investors.

Perhaps there was a time when LGBT pride month and pride parades were about demanding civil rights, but if you have seen videos from recent pride parades across the country, that is clearly no longer the case. In New York City, LGBTQ activists were seen marching and chanting, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for
Continuing their celebration of Pride Month, CBS Evening News ended their Monday newscast by hyping up the small town of Peoria, Illinois which has become a go-to destination for LGBTQ+ people. They’re flocking there in droves following the encouragement of a TikTok influencer who claimed they had to move there for their “survival.” CBS correspondent
Newsmax anchor Eric Bolling interviewed President Trump recently and talked on several key topics which included what the 45th president thinks about Robert F.

On Sunday morning’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd explained the findings of a recent NBC News poll on voter satisfaction regarding the current state of the country and President Biden’s current job rating and perceived competency. These numbers did not look good for Biden, especially the percentage of voters with concerns that Biden did “not
It’s easy to miss some dramatic differences between the Trump years and the Biden years. Take, for example, the “tell-all books,” either written by journalists who are granted access to insiders or books written by the insiders themselves. By this time in the Trump term – the summer of 2019 – we were 18 months
Another leak of evidence in the Biden Justice Department’s classified documents case against President Trump took place on Monday with CNN airing a July 2021 recording of Trump talking about attack plans on Iran drawn up by Gen.

Focus on the Family posted a video that features multiple scenes in which the term “fetus” is absurdly substituted for the word “baby.” In the first scene, a smiling woman apparently holding a pregnancy test informs a man that the test is positive. She excitedly says, “We’re having a fetus.” The next scene features a
George Takei was crushed on social media after offering a defense for Pride parade marchers who exposed themselves while children were present.

Welcome NewsBusters listeners! On this episode of the NewsBusters podcast, Senior Research Analyst Bill D’Agostino and I break down the liberal media’s mournful remembrance of Roe v.
