“That you think only people from Great Britain or Australia would speak English is so insulting to millions of hardworking immigrants who do speak English from all over the world.”

As Stephen Miller steps into his new role as White House chief of staff, his fiery 2017 clash with CNN’s Jim Acosta is resurfacing.

During a briefing on a proposed immigration overhaul, Miller challenged Acosta’s questioning about English-language requirements, accusing him of “cosmopolitan bias” after he asked whether the U.S. would only bring in people from Great Britain and Australia.

Five seconds in, you’ll know why this clip is blowing up. A student takes the mic and says “white culture perpetuates...” and the guy in the pink shirt answers with a calm question about the evidence. The crowd goes silent, the host can’t stop laughing, and she admits “it’s hard to focus.” Is he right or is he dodging? His last line is the reason the comments are on fire. Watch to the end, then pick a side.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher and Coleman Hughes finish each other's sentences for 3 minutes straight as they lay out how teachers' unions wrecked public education.

The MS NOW host thought she could sit this one out quietly. Then Maher turned and lobbed a grenade right at her.

MAHER: "The reason why they don't know that socialism didn't work... is because NOBODY taught them in school."

HUGHES: "A lot of kids go to underperforming public schools, which is our euphemism for government-funded daycare centers with occasional school-like activities."

MAHER: "I knew they weren't learning anything, but like you said, it's like a daycare center and not a good one."

HUGHES: "And I think people on the left want to blame funding because that's the easy issue. But the truth is, this school was well funded. You know, it's 50,000 per pupil at this school. The problem isn't the funding. It's that you can't fire anyone bad."

MAHER: "Yes.... The problem is the union, the teachers union, is too powerful. We've seen it in results in states where the union is less powerful, the schools do better."

HUGHES: "I call it the chalkboard mafia."

MAHER: "The problem, the unions protect bad schools and bad teachers, and the party protects the union. It's almost impossible in a lot of these cities to fire a teacher. I mean literally like you could sell drugs to a kid and it's got to be two offenses before we get—"

HUGHES: "It wasn't that long ago that the unions lobbied for a law in New York State to ban even collecting data that you would use to assess which teachers are better than others. You can't even get the data. So obviously the teachers union serves the teachers, they don't serve the students, and if you're a Democrat or any American that's serious about public school reform, you have to challenge the teachers union, period."

MAHER: "And I think in this school, where they were learning nothing with no supervision and absentee principals and teachers, I think spending 50,000 dollars per year per student, it's not money. That's what you always hear from the left. 'Oh, it's underfunded.' It's not the funding. The funding isn't the issue."

HUGHES: "No, it hasn't been for a very long time."

MAHER: "I think this is the kind of thing I will NEVER hear on MS NOW."

ALI VITALI: "I think you hear a lot of perspectives on MS NOW."

MAHER: "I don't ever hear that one."

CONTEXT: Maher and Hughes aren't making this up. On the latest Nation's Report Card, high school seniors posted the lowest reading and math scores ever recorded on the test.

And getting rid of bad teachers is nearly impossible. Federal survey data shows the average school district dismissed just 0.2 tenured teachers for poor performance in a year. That's roughly 1 in 500.

Meanwhile, students do better long-term in states where unions have less power.

A 2019 study in the American Economic Journal found that boys who went to school in states that forced districts to bargain with teachers' unions went on to earn about $2,100 LESS per year as adults compared to boys in states without those laws.

If a business failed this badly, someone would get fired. As Hughes put it: "The teachers union serves the teachers; they don't serve the students."

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.

They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex."

The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️

"Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the  Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

Bill Maher rant on America's biggest problem.

Bill Maher: Before I demonstrate how sadly easy it is to prove the dumbness that’s dragging us down, let me just say that ignorance has life-and-death consequences.

On the eve of the Iraq War, 70% of Americans thought Saddam Hussein was personally involved in 9/11. Six years later, 34% still did.

Or look at the healthcare debate going on now. At a recent town hall meeting in South Carolina, a man stood up and told his congressman, “Keep your government hands off my Medicare,” which is kind of like driving cross-country to protest highways.

This country is like a college chick after two Long Island iced teas. We can be talked into anything, like wars, and talked out of anything, like healthcare. We should forget the town halls and replace them with study halls.

Listen to some of these statistics. A majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is. Twenty-four percent couldn’t name the country America fought in the Revolutionary War. More than two-thirds of Americans don’t know what’s in Roe v. Wade, and two-thirds don’t know what the Food and Drug Administration does.

Some of this stuff you should be able to pick up simply by being alive. You know, the way the Slumdog kid knew about cricket. But not here.

Nearly half of Americans don’t know that states have two senators, and more than half can’t name their congressman. And among Republican governors, only three got their wife’s name right on the first try.

People moan about taxes and spending, but they have no idea what their government spends money on. The average voter thinks foreign aid consumes 24% of our federal budget. It’s actually less than 1%.

A third of Republicans believe Obama is not a citizen, and a third of Democrats believe George Bush had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, which is an absurd sentence because it contains the words “Bush” and “knowledge.”

Sleep tight.

Sarah Palin says she would never apologize for America, even though a Gallup poll says 18% of us think the sun revolves around the Earth. No, they’re not stupid. They’re interplanetary Mavericks.

And I haven’t even brought up religion. But here’s one fun fact I’ll leave you with: Did you know only about half of Americans are aware that Judaism is an older religion than Christianity?

That’s right. Half of America looks at books called the Old Testament and the New Testament and cannot figure out which one came first.

I rest my case. Thank you.

PIERS MORGAN DESTROYS BENJAMIN BUTTERWORTH WITH HIS “TWO-SPIRIT PENGUIN” ARGUMENT BUT INDIA WILLOUGHBY’S INTERVENTION TAKES THE DEBATE TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

“You want me to respect all those hundred genders, however ludicrous some of them are…”

Was Piers making a legitimate point or mocking non-binary people?

Susanna Reid: Why do you think Piers is so offensive?

Benjamin Butterworth: The way Piers talks about trans people, and specifically non-binary people, is that you mock them, you make fun of them. You use them as entertainment.

Susanna Reid: When has he done that?

Piers Morgan: Yeah, be specific.

Benjamin Butterworth: When you claim that you’re a two-spirit penguin.

Piers Morgan: Because you and I had this debate about the hundred genders. If you can identify in a hundred different ways your gender, then I am entitled to identify as a two-spirit penguin. In other words, there are no limits.

You want me to respect all those hundred genders, however ludicrous some of them are, but you have zero respect for my right to identify myself in any way I see fit.

Benjamin Butterworth: Being a penguin isn’t a gender. That’s not on the gender spectrum.

Susanna Reid: Can’t you see how he’s taking it to the absurd degree?

Benjamin Butterworth: It doesn’t matter how many times you pretend to be Pingu Morgan, that’s still not a gender that people can identify with.

Piers Morgan: Imagine being India Willoughby, who has gone through transitioning, an extraordinarily difficult emotional, psychological, and physical process.

Then when you finally get to transition to be a woman, having wanted to be that your whole life, you get told, actually, it’s meaningless because there are now a hundred ways to identify a gender.

India Willoughby: Piers is a beacon of light. Transgender now has become something completely different. It’s about floating about in the middle, no commitment, you pick and choose who you want to be.

Benjamin Butterworth: Drag is a beautiful art form.

India Willoughby: No, it’s not a beautiful art form. I find drag far more offensive than anything Piers says. Drag is gay men dressing up as women in a flamboyant way, making a mockery of gender.

Benjamin Butterworth: Why is it okay for you to turn to non-binary people and say you don’t recognize their identity?

India Willoughby: I no longer identify as trans, because it’s become so embarrassing because of people like you and what you champion. I’m ashamed of it; it’s awful.

Piers Morgan: You’re not compassionate, are you? I’ve rarely been subjected to more foul abuse on social media than I have in the last few days.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

A socialist making $60,000 a year tells Caleb Hammer she can’t afford a house and wants the government to buy her one.

Then he asks how she eats, and it gets ugly for her real fast.

SOCIALIST: “I’m allergic to kitchens.”

CALEB HAMMER: “How do you eat?”

SOCIALIST: “I get fed.”

HAMMER: “Make that make sense. I need a little more information. So you eat out?”

SOCIALIST: “Yes.”

HAMMER: “For every meal. And you’re the one complaining about not being able to get a house.”

SOCIALIST: “I can tell you how much like I pay for a meal.”

HAMMER: “How much?”

SOCIALIST: “Like 20 bucks.”

HAMMER: “What the f*ck? That would be like 3 bucks on my meal plan.”

SOCIALIST: “Am I not allowed to spend $20 a day?”

HAMMER: “Listen, you can’t complain that you can’t save for anything if you’re choosing not to. It’s fine if you don’t want to.

“If you would rather go out to eat, that’s fine. But then don’t complain that you didn’t get to save for retirement, that you didn’t get to save for a house. You made that choice, and that’s okay. But own it.”

SOCIALIST: “But if the government provided those things…”

HAMMER: “Why should they?”

SOCIALIST: “Well, the government—”

HAMMER: “You have no discipline. Why should they?”

SOCIALIST: “Because there’s an intrinsic value to—”

HAMMER: “Why should it be my responsibility to take care of you since you decided not to take care of yourself when you make good money?”

She tries to change the subject to other people struggling. Hammer isn’t having it.

HAMMER: “We’re talking about YOU, not other people right now. We’re on the YOU part of this. Why should I have to take care of YOU when YOU make $60,000 a year and YOU choose to blow it all?”

SOCIALIST: “Because the, it’s, there’s an intrinsic value to building up your community.”

HAMMER: “You’re not in my community.”

Then Hammer asks her what percentage of federal income taxes the top 1% pays, and her answer says it all.

Funny how the people demanding your money are always the worst at handling their own.

Bill Maher and Justine Bateman put words to something a lot of people feel but rarely say out loud.

Maher calls it the religion of wokeism, and Bateman makes the sharpest point here: you can agree with 8 out of 10 tenets and still get thrown out. At that point it stops being a political view and becomes a church with excommunication.

What she says about why people stay in line is interesting too. It’s not conviction, it’s fear. Fear of standing on your own without a group to belong to.

Maher has spent decades refusing to carry a membership card for either side, and it has cost him plenty of friends in his own industry.

Thinking for yourself has become so rare that it now looks like rebellion.

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.

The signs were ready before you were even angry.

AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

In 1952, an English teacher named Cecil Dormand secretly paid for a dirt-poor 11-year-old to take a drama course.

He never told him and the boy didn’t find out until decades later.

By then, he was a knight, that little boy’s name was Patrick Stewart.

He was born into a poor family in Mirfield, a small mill town in Yorkshire and his father came home from World War II a violent man, and he was violent toward Patrick’s mother.

Young Patrick learned exactly when to step between his father’s fist and his mother.

An English teacher put a copy of Shakespeare in his hand and told him to get up and perform.

He never stopped and left school at 15.

By 19 he was completely bald... most agencies told him he'd never make it because of that.

In 1987, the LA Times called him an “unknown British Shakespearean actor” when he was cast as Captain Picard.

Then he became one of the most famous faces on Earth.

You’ve probably heard that part.

Here’s the part you haven’t:

He spent decades as a patron of Refuge, sheltering women and children from domestic violence.

But he never stopped trying to understand his father.

He dug up a 1940 newspaper clipping that said his dad had come home with severe shell shock.

He went to France and walked the ground where his father’s unit was pinned down under bombing for hours.

He learned his father had PTSD, and nobody ever helped him.

So Patrick became an ambassador for Combat Stress, a charity that helps veterans.

In 2013, a young woman at a Texas convention told him she was a survivor of domestic violence.

He asked, “My dear, are you okay?”

Then he hopped off the stage, held her, and told her: “You never have to go through that again, you’re safe now.”

At Dragon Con, a Make-A-Wish girl dressed as Spock came to meet him.

2,000 people were waiting for him to speak... he sat down and talked with her for 15 minutes, making all of them wait.

He told her that since they were friends now, whenever she saw him on screen she could wave and say, “Hello Patrick.”

After 9/11, he felt helpless, so he brought his one-man A Christmas Carol back to Broadway for a full week of charity shows.

He played every character himself and donated every cent.

In 2019 he did it again, and every dollar went to feeding hungry New Yorkers.

In 2017, he fostered a pit bull named Ginger, who had been rescued from a dogfighting ring.

She was his first dog in more than 50 years.

He couldn’t bring her home to England, so he found her a family.

Then he kept fostering more.

When he said he was done with Star Trek so many people told him the show had gotten them through the hardest times of their lives.

So he wanted to see if Picard could do it one more time.

Rest in Peace, Sir Patrick 🖖

[Sex Reality Bites @sexrealitybites]

Sometimes I’m surprised by just how surprised trans-identifying people and their allies are about the pushback.

You’re asking people to accept that you are the opposite sex, often when they can plainly see otherwise. You expect everyone, regardless of their beliefs, backgrounds, religions, cultures or understanding of biology, to affirm your beliefs you have about yourself.

And when they can’t honestly agree, you won’t let it slide. You want institutions, workplaces and schools to enforce that agreement, right down to ordinary public interactions. People who object are labelled hateful, with demands that they face consequences at work or even legal penalties.

Then you seem bewildered by the resistance.

You’re demanding that people speak as though they agree with you about the nature of sex and gender, how society should organise itself around those beliefs, and even the best way to treat dysphoria. The same views. Even when it means it forces people to lie to you. Everyone must use the same language. Everyone in lockstep.

How do you not recognise how authoritarian that demand is?
