Yes, a decade later this case is still stuck in our legal system. But at least there’s some progress on the justice front. A U.S. appeals court decided Tuesday that a Libyan man’s 22-year sentence for his role in the 2012 Benghazi attack wasn’t enough. Ahmed Abu Khatallah, 51, was originally convicted in 2018 on…

In last’s week article, Biden Gave TikTok a Pass. American Kids Died, I noted the devastating consequences of Biden’s appeasement of China.  In the summer of 2020, President Trump imposed sanctions on TikTok, and in the next summer, Biden lifted them in his own executive order. While the Biden administration claimed that it would scrutinize the…

Have the monkeys complained? The head of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to rename monkeypox to prevent the “potentially devastating and stigmatizing effects” that the virus’s name could bring about. Maybe “stigmatizing effects” would be a net plus for a disease brought on…

This was what lefties had been doing successfully in academia and they swiftly made inroads. Two data points make a line, not a trend, but they’re striking nonetheless.  The Washington Post…

When Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal first aired, the ads declared, “Watch or You’re Sexist.” Like the show, that tagline turned out not to be a joke.  Along with the various painfully unfunny lefty Daily Show retreads, the mess stuck around for seven seasons, but now that Peak TV is crashing, it’s gone. Full Frontal with…

The significance here is that Democrats are obsessed with baking in censorship, what they call “disinformation”, into any online national security venture. And they need the right sorts of people for that. Stewart has the right sorts of politics and the Google connections. So she’s a perfect pick for Biden and a horrifying one for…
