'They took his name off Mount McKinley,' Trump told supporters on Sunday.
He praised McKinley as a 'great president' and said his administration would bring back the name Mount McKinley 'because I think he deserves it.'
It comes after Obama sided with the state of Alaska in the long-running dispute over the highest mountain peak's name in 2015 and had it changed to Mount Denali, the name used by Native Americans.
For nearly 100 years before that, it had been known as Mount McKinley since legislation created the national park in 1917...
This semester I learned most of my freshmen had never taken an exam on which only one attempt was allowed. I am… deeply frustrated with our education system.
High schools that offer students exam retakes are seriously impinging on students’ ability to succeed in college...
" Claudinha @Claudinha - In 2013 I pulled my 10th grader out of our local public school to homeschool. She told me she had never taken a test without the teacher giving them all the answers prior in the form of a “study guide”. It wasn’t a guide, it was the actual test answers each time...
President Joe Biden has granted clemency to some horrible felons but apparently saved the worst for last.
The White House announced Monday that the 82-year-old Democrat is commuting the sentences of 37 convicts on federal death row. Rather than die for ghastly crimes against children, U.S. service members, immigrants, police, prison guards, and others, the convicts will get to continue living at taxpayers' expense in prison.
Among the convicts Biden has spared from the accountability sought by judges and juries is Jorge Avila-Torrez, a "serial killer of the highest degree" who kidnapped, raped, and brutally murdered two little girls, Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9, in 2005. The beneficiary of Biden's commutation not only subjected the girls to nightmarish sexual torture but stabbed them repeatedly — Hobbs 20 times, including in her eyes, and Tobias 11 times.
1776 - Gen. George Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River for a surprise attack against Hessian forces at Trenton, NJ.
1818 - "Silent Night" was performed for the first time, at the Church of St. Nikolaus in Oberndorff, Austria.
1868 - U.S. President Andrew Johnson granted an unconditional pardon to all persons involved in the Southern rebellion that resulted in the Civil War.
1896 - John Philip Sousa finally titled the melody "The Stars and Stripes Forever."
1914 - During World War I, British and German troops observed an unofficial truce and even playing football together on the Western Front.
1989 - Ousted Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were executed following a popular uprising.
1991 - Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev went on television to announce his resignation as leader of a Communist superpower that had already gone out of existence.
On that dark, freezing night almost 250 years ago, our first president set a standard for leadership we would all do well to emulate.
In the darkness and the frozen spindrift, a cargo boat groans through ice along the Delaware River.
At the helm, a heroic shadow, pointing toward land. Behind him, 2,400 soldiers. Most are standing, biting their lips in the frozen air, specks of ice dotting their reddened faces.
The bombshells keep getting worse for Michael Byrd, the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion.
After Just the News reported that Byrd had a lengthy disciplinary sheet and numerous dings on his permanent record during his time with the Capitol Police in November, two separate sources reported in December that Byrd, among other things, was on a so-called “Brady list” or “Lewis list” of officers who could not or would not be called to testify by prosecutors because of their untrustworthiness.
Samidoun ("Steadfast"), a "Vancouver-based terrorist group," was founded in 2012 -- ostensibly to "assist Palestinian prisoners" -- by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization in the United States, European Union and Canada. In practice, Samidoun is a front for the PFLP.
Who funds this terrorist-supporting madness? Samidoun, which does not publish any donor information, has a financial sponsor in the US, the Alliance for Global Justice, a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that reportedly works to bring about a communist revolution through building coalitions of organizations, many involved in pro-Hamas activity, and, according to its own website: "We also act as fiscal sponsor to over 90 economic, social justice and human rights projects around the world that do not have their own tax-exempt status."
Who funds the Alliance for Global Justice? According to Influence Watch, several of the same megadonors that fund the Democratic Party in the US, such as George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and the Tides Foundation.
The Tides Foundation, which was once described as a "charitable money laundering" organization, and was previously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, also sponsors anti-Israeli groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow..
The support for groups such as Samidoun by the Alliance for Global Justice led to demands to revoke its tax-exempt status.... It is now six months later, and the IRS has done nothing...

Michigan’s largest natural gas provider is seeking to hike customer rates by $248 million, a request that some consumer watchdogs say stands out in the context of recently approved bill increases.
Consumers Energy filed paperwork with state utility regulators on Monday, Dec. 16 outlining the request, which comes less than five months after the resolution of its last rate hike...
The request for money for high-speed rail is just one last-minute request California Democrats have sent to the White House. Last week, the Biden administration approved Newsom’s plan to eliminate sales of gas-powered cars by 2035 — despite the fact that sales of electric vehicles, even in California, are far too slow to meet the target. President-elect Trump is expected to repeal that policy as soon as he takes office, along with other federal electric vehicle mandates.
Today the meaning of words has become increasingly malleable and language is regularly used to gull the listener or reader into at best a state of torpor (listen to Kamala Harris or Keir Starmer) and at worst a state of acquiescence and submission as happens under repressive regimes.
A couple of recent examples illustrate the point.
Earlier this year The Spectator published a piece describing as ‘a man who claims to be a woman’ the writer of an interview with Nicola Sturgeon. The individual, a certificated trans person, would not have chosen the description but one cannot deny its accuracy...A complaint was made to IPSO, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (which oversees The Spectator and most of the UK’s print media) after the interviewer, Juno Dawson, claimed to have been ‘deliberately misgendered’...
My second example...and was detailed by Janice Davis on TCW – but it’s worth highlighting that Mrs Pearson was doorstepped at home on Remembrance Sunday by a couple of police officers unable to tell her anything about her supposed offence or its putative victim...Subsequently and for reasons unrecorded the supposed non-crime hate incident was ‘escalated’ into a potential criminal offence...
JERUSALEM – Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden still has another four weeks until he leaves office, but he has pardoned or commuted sentences for some 1,500 people. There are sweepstakes for what the total number of will be, but there is one person – not even an American citizen for whom the Democrat's largesse and clemency might fundamentally change a country.
#1 When the economy is in good shape, holiday spending increases each year. In 2024, only 16 percent of Americans say that they are going to spend more than last year and 35 percent of Americans say that they are going to spend less… #2 The number of job openings in the U.S. is now the lowest it has been since January 2021, but unlike January 2021 we don’t have a pandemic to blame our poor performance on…
