Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee just introduced a bill that would attach criminal charges to certain forms of hate speech. The bill is aimed at fighting “white supremacy,” which, in other words, would mean the criminalization of any opinion that did not concur with the “woke left.” Jackson Lee’s “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023” is aimed at “preventing and prosecuting white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.” The New York Post reports that the addition of the word “conspiracy” means people who use hate speech online could face criminal charges under the…

Alec Baldwin’s Long History of Raging Alec Baldwin has a long and storied history of being an absolute rage machine. This is common knowledge. Many will recall his profanity-laced tirade against his own 11-year-old daughter back in 2007. All it takes is one search on YouTube to find countless examples of his predisposition toward flying off the handle over absolutely anything. His history of anger management problems has obviously been a topic of discussion following his shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. After he rushed to publicize his version of the events that transpired that day, appearing on ABC with George Stephanopoulos,…
Hunter Biden is in the news again. $49,910 would seem like a vague number to most people. Not $50,000. Not even $49,000. And yet, it keeps cropping up in the bizarre financial records of Hunter Biden in connection with his father, Joe Biden. First, 49,500 is the amount Hunter Biden allegedly paid to rent a home from his father. It is also, strangely, the exact amount he paid for a deposit on an office in the House of Sweden, a D.C.-based office complex. An office he shared with the infamous CEFC China Energy. Hunter’s rent is noted on a “background…
The city of Boston recently unveiled a statue named “The Embrace” to celebrate the 37th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and citizens across the nation were stunned to see just how horrible it looks. Although it was meant to resemble the moment MLK Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, discovered he won the Nobel Peace Prize, many are claiming it appears rather phallic, more like human waste if you will. The commission was done by Hank Willis Thomas, an artist from New Jersey who has spent his career creating racialized pieces. While there are hefty plagiarism accusations lobbied…
In yet another instance of poor judgment and mishandling of sensitive information, President Biden has been caught trying to pay his check with classified documents. Yesterday at a local restaurant, when the waiter brought over the President’s bill, Biden took out several classified documents from his briefcase, slapped them on the table, and said to the waiter “that should cover it.” The waiter, understandably confused, politely asked the President to put the documents away. But Biden was undeterred and continued to insist that the documents be accepted as payment. As the incident quickly spread across the news, many of the…
The New York Times received backlash on Sunday after posting a crossword puzzle that some users believed resembled the swastika, the Nazi sign of hatred used during World War II. For added drama, the puzzle was released on the first day of Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday, at a time when antisemitic incidents were on the rise in the United States. Creator and consulting manager for the Washington Post’s Sunday crossword, Ryan McCarty of Washington, DC, noted in the puzzle review’s constructor notes that the crossword was shaped like a “whirlpool.” When his first Sunday puzzle was published in The Times,…

Recently, Kid Rock (real name: Robert James Ritchie) discussed the fate of the 160-year-old Beechwood Hall in Williamson County, Tennessee, in an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Rock is worried that the current owner, Larry Keele, will demolish the property that once belonged to Hank Williams Sr., Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill. The fear was sparked when Franklin resident Leonora Clifford, whose ancestors built Beechwood Hall, posted on social media that the building was going to be demolished soon. Keele, on the other hand, claims to have “absolutely no plan for demolition” and to have been “working closely…
On Thursday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced that the company is developing an update that will inform users if they have been shadowbanned, provide details about the ban, and explain how they can appeal the decision. The term “shadowbanning” refers to the practice of removing a user’s content or making it invisible to other users without the user’s knowledge. It’s been criticized for being used to silence certain voices or views, but it’s a common tool used by social media platforms to hide accounts that break their terms of service or community standards. Musk added that Twitter would soon begin…
