The North Carolina GOP is making a push for accountability in the state’s judicial system, specifically targeting Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes. This movement comes on the heels of a tragic event involving Decarlos Brown, a felon with a long criminal history.

Congressman Tim Moore (R-NC) has been vocal about his disapproval, stating, “This tragedy was preventable. There must be accountability. North Carolinians deserve better.” He spearheaded a letter urging for Stokes’s removal under North Carolina General Statute § 7A-173(a),…

In a compelling recent exchange on CNN, Kenny Xu, a board member of Students for Fair Admissions, confronted Abby Phillip over the persistent and controversial subject of affirmative action. In a scene reminiscent of classic journalism clashes, Xu challenged Phillip’s adherence to traditional narratives and woke ideology with solid facts and reasoned logic. The interview, which aired on June 29, 2023, showcased the stark divide between those who defend current affirmative action policies and those who advocate for a race-neutral admissions process. Phillip attempted to cling to the notion that non-academic factors, such as socioeconomic status, should play a role…
Former opinion editor for the Washington Post, Karen Attiah, experienced a significant fall from grace after making disparaging remarks about “white America” and the recently deceased conservative, Charlie Kirk.

Recent events surrounding the murders of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson reveal a troubling trend in our societal discourse. The media’s reluctance to acknowledge the political motives behind these killings reflects a broader disconnection from reality. With President Donald Trump’s decision to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization, the urgency to understand and address political violence becomes all the more pressing. Political violence is undeniably on the rise, and it largely stems from the left. This raises a critical question: will federal terrorism charges be pursued against domestic offenders? Currently, the legal framework offers little hope…

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent announcement about the United Kingdom’s recognition of a Palestinian state has drawn sharp comparisons to the miscalculations of history, particularly those surrounding the Munich Agreement of 1938. His statement aimed to address the plight of the Palestinian people while advocating for a two-state solution alongside a secure Israel. This gesture, however, echoes past mistakes that may lead to dire consequences. Starmer remarked, “In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two-state solution.” He acknowledged Hamas as a “brutal terror organization,”…
After her defeat in the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris has found herself at the center of a humorous controversy.
