Portugal's right-wing leader André Ventura said it clearly:

"If you want to wear a burqa? It's really simple! Pack your stuff, catch a flight, and go. Go to Pakistan, go to Saudi Arabia, go to Morocco... Go wherever the hell you want. Just not here!"

Of all the demoralizing public policy failures one becomes familiar with after learning about Chicago, there is none more indefensible and demoralizing than the case of Douglass High School.

27 students in a school built for 1008.

Yet the teachers union forbids consolidating it, or any of the dozens of other mostly empty schools, in order to maintain staff headcount and therefore the flow of union dues.

This island of 850,000 people is quietly trying to break free from the grip of the Chinese Communist Party.

And no one is talking about it.

The Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands just arrived in Washington, D.C.

Cleo Paskal breaks down why his visit represents a pivotal moment in the geopolitical struggle between the U.S. and China:

Prime Minister Matthew Wale came into power after a vote of no confidence led to a “reconfiguration of the existing parliament”—and a reconsideration of the Solomon Islands’ relationship with China.

“It’s a transformation.”

“There’s this little window where the Chinese Communist Party response isn’t quite in full action to cut the legs out from under them, where they’re trying to create all sorts of other relationships.”

“They’d like to set up an embassy in Washington.”

“They’re going… to Japan.”

“They visited Australia, Papua New Guinea.”

“This is often presented as, are they pro-China or are they pro-the US?”

“They are pro-Solomon Islands.”

“And if you are pro-your own country and your own sovereignty, you don’t want to be associated too closely with the Chinese Communist Party.”

“Because their goal is to create vassal states.”

“What they’re trying to do is bolster their own sovereignty through a whole new range of relationships.”

“So far, they’re not being met by Rubio or Vance or the President.”

Every single soccer player in tonight's World Cup shook President Trump's hand. They showed great respect to our president unlike some sports teams in the United States that go out of their way to show their disrespect.

Spent a day in Washington DC. Hooooly mooooly has that city been cleaned up.
Botanical garden off the charts, national gallery off the charts, parks all cleaned up 🌞 bums off the streets, crimes and criminal aspirants off the streets.

I went to an art show once in NYC of paintings from the Cultural Revolution, one of the cruelest events in history. Mao and the workers/soldiers/farmers were always shown in heroic poses, and everyone was always smiling. That's the kind of coverage Mamdani gets from social media.

Crazy idea for @sfgov but has any city tried not letting drug markets take over public space?

No conservative could possibly have come up with a self-parody of the left this good. College Democrats invite an openly socialist China simp as a speaker, and he shows up in a commie suit. Incredible.

I spend a lot of time at national parks and other protected areas. I love nature and conservation.

In my time exploring, I’ve seen:

Indians stepping on extremely fragile geothermal features in Yellowstone

Indians graffiti’ing redwood trees in California

Indians trying to pet bison in the Badlands

Indians throwing cigarette butts out of their car windows in Sequoia

But the angriest I’ve ever been in my life was 16 days into a 220 mile hike in the Sierra. I got to the other side of a mountain pass where a pristine, crystal green glacial lake was, and the first thing I saw was Indians bathing and pissing in it.

"This is one of the most censored issues in the world...To every filmmaker in here telling the stories the world needs to know, keep it up." @delbigtree

"An Inconvenient Study" just won two awards at FreedomFest, including Best Investigative Journalism and the Audience Choice Award at the Anthem Film Festival!!

If you haven't seen this film yet, we highly recommend it. It's completely free to watch.

And then, send it to everyone else you know. The only thing stopping you is dedicating the time. Do it today. You won't regret it.

If you're not familiar with the origin story of how Barack Obama was recruited and groomed from a young age to infiltrate US politics as a Marxist change agent, I recommend catching up.

With the rise of Democratic Socialists recently outing themselves as Communists, and Cuba now coming into the spotlight, this is actually super germane to the moment.

LMAO! After SNUBBING Joe Biden’s Presidential Medal of Freedom award ceremony in 2025, Lionel Messi has now accepted TWO awards from President Trump

Once when winning last year’s MLS Cup, and now being the World Cup Runner-up

VERY telling!

FYI: @CA_Dem give free healthcare to illegal aliens while taxing citizens for theirs. They are the enemy of the people. 100%

I went to a small town in Maine that’s overrun with Somali migrants who don’t assimilate and steal systemically from our country.

Oh, and they have a dilapidated mosque, too.

In rural Maine…

In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.

'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?'

She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'

They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said.

'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.'

And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.

The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.'

At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.

Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
