Iger discussed how

On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96. I must admit, I couldn’t care less about the British Monarchy. I cringe on the inside whenever the media obsesses over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Who cares? Honestly, it seems that the main reason most Americans care about anyone in the royal
Sunday, September 11, 2022, marks the 21st anniversary of the attacks that claimed thousands of American lives, injured many thousands more, caused massive destruction, and set off America’s longest wars. The day also saw countless acts of heroism, most of which were not recorded and the details of which will never be known. Kevin C.
Visa Inc. said over the weekend that it plans to start separately categorizing sales at gun shops. The move is considered a major victory for gun control advocates who claim that better tracking of gun sales may help prevent future mass shootings. Other major payment processors, including Mastercard and American Express, have also said they
On Sunday’s Meet the Press, viewers learned that there are indeed Democrat lies so preposterous even Chuck Todd won’t fall for them. During his exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, Todd appeared flabbergasted by Harris’s claim that the southern border is secure. Towards the end of a wide ranging interview that touched on topics
Old Joe Biden read off his teleprompter at the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at the Pentagon Sunday, and his speech was filled with the usual pious blather about how much he admires the heroic first responders who never cross his mind on the other 364 days of the year. In the course of his semi-coherent meanderings,
Yesterday, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor permitted Yeshiva University to refuse to recognize an LGBT student club that the Orthodox Jewish school said violates its religious values. The stay — a court ruling that stops a legal action — issued by Sotomayor temporarily blocks a judge’s ruling ordering the New York City-based school to allow
Leaks are what the D.C. establishment media feeds on. Every day there’s a story sourced to “someone familiar” with some matter “on which the source is not authorized to speak publicly” — or some similar turn of bafflegab. Of course, the establishment media expect this to be taken as completely authoritative, no matter how many
Five Hong Kong speech therapists were convicted of sedition this week after they printed a series of children’s books that a court said was anti-government. Reuters reports that the therapists “were accused of publishing three picture books, featuring cartoons of sheep and wolves, which government prosecutors alleged had spread separatism and stirred up hatred and
Joe Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, this week tried to spin away the fact that she was an election denier, insisting that Donald Trump wasn’t elected President, that Brian Kemp wasn’t elected governor in Georgia. But a look back at Jean-Pierre’s time on MSNBC shows a tendency to lash out with vulgar attacks on Republicans.
On “The News & Why It Matters” Friday, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales and guests Jaco Booyens and John Doyle talked about a disturbing book called “Sex Education for 8-12-Year-Olds: Kids Book for Good Parents,” which according to screenshots circulated on social media, lists several increasingly bizarre ways for parents to introduce their children to “the
Scientists in the UK have developed a test to determine whether people have Parkinson’s disease — thanks to the help of a woman who can sniff out the disorder. Joy Milne, a retired nurse from Scotland, knew her husband Les had Parkinson’s over a decade before he was diagnosed when she identified a change in
As part of CNN’s Friday coverage of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Christiane Amanpour demanded that the new monarch, King Charles III, violate his constitutional duty of being apolitical and address left-wing pet causes like Black Lives Matter and reparations. Amanpour rejected the idea that Elizabeth’s death should be free of politics, “I really
NewsBusters readers might recall that back in August, the media team for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejected a request to appear with the cackling coven of ABC’s The View in spectacular fashion by shoving examples of their hate and disinformation in the face of their booker. The show was silent about the rejection until Friday
The sound of Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson on Friday’s PBS NewsHour underlined how there is no debate and no democracy on PBS. They put on a RINO who says the GOP is simply awful, and the liberal on the panel says “Oh, I agree!” Republicans pay taxes to be painted as awful for opposing the murder of
Vice President Kamala Harris has said that she believes the U.S. Supreme Court is “an activist court.” When “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd pressed Harris to explain what she meant by the statement, she said, “we had an establish right for almost half a century, which is the right of women to make decisions
The NYPD released a video of what they said was an unprovoked beating and slashing attack on a man during the West Indian Day Parade in New York City, New York. The cellphone video showed a chaotic attack on a 44-year-old victim during the annual parade in Crown Heights at about 7 p.m. on Monday.
Whether here or abroad, conservatives can’t win. As a new conservative prime minister takes over in England and installed a multi-racial cabinet, the New York Times has abruptly shifted the diversity goalposts. If reporters Stephen Castle and Mark Landler can’t attack conservative parties for being lily-white, they can attack them for being diverse in ethnicity
A former school bus driver is being accused of stalking and threatening an 8-year-old and tracking the cars of the boy’s parents. A statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Hampshire said that 39-year-old Michael Chick of Eliot, Maine, was arrested after a search of his home on August 5. Parents of the boy
A Maryland neighborhood is in shock after five people, including three children, were found shot dead inside a home Friday morning. Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams said in a media briefing Friday that a man called 911 to report the deaths at about 9:15 a.m. at a quiet cul de sac in Elk Mills. He
“Let it begin with me.” Those were words of Joe Scarborough used Friday morning, as he took up the challenge of living in accordance with qualities, as described by Andrew Sullivan, that marked Queen Elizabeth’s life. Chief among those qualities: restraint, grace, and reticence. None of which, we’ve documented from Scarborough over the years. In fairness,
There is nothing worse than being misunderstood except when it’s done intentionally. We all know that political operatives rarely act in good faith. That’s to be expected. But the constant assaults on who we are as a group gets exhausting. The left is never right about what we believe, how we act, or what motivates
Oberlin College, a notably woke institution, indicated on Thursday that it would pay the $36.59 million it owes to Gibson’s Bakery — the local establishment that the college had defamed and falsely accused of racism. Payback After the Ohio Supreme Court decided not to hear its appeal in August, the college issued a release on
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Thursday that the influx of migrants bused to the sanctuary city caused a public emergency. As a result, the mayor introduced plans to establish an Office of Migrant Services to provide additional assistance to the individuals.

I date men, am white and am a Christian. I guess that means I’m a fascist. An English teacher from Madison High School in San Diego decided to give a lesson on facism. His definition mentioned that fascists are “whites,” “heterosexuals” and Christians,” The Washington Examiner reported. If you were looking for another reason to homeschool your
One of the more confusing parts of election night 2020 was seeing Georgia go from a sure thing to a narrow victory by fewer than 12,000 votes for Joe Biden. Accusations of fraud and irregularities aside, that stung. It doesn’t help to know that illegal votes may have swung the election to Biden; what good
On Thursday, Delaware Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein approved the Boy Scouts of America’s $2.46 billion reorganization plan to compensate individuals who say organization leaders sexually abused them as children. The plan will simultaneously allow the BSA to continue operating. The ruling awaits approval from a federal district judge. The Boy Scouts of America filed for
During the pandemic, teachers’ unions exerted their influence to shut down schools. These closures constituted the longest interruptions in schooling since formal education became the norm. Some schools adopted a so-called hybrid model of teaching, while others went fully virtual. The primary reason cited for this unprecedented move was the need to protect teachers’ and
“For me and President Joe Biden, faith guides our work everyday.” …oh boy, here we go.

Krystle Matthews, a Democratic state representative in South Carolina, planned to unseat and replace the widely popular Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott in the fall. Members of her own party are beginning to think that’s not such a good idea, some going so far as to encourage her to end her campaign. In July, the
