BEN SHAPIRO — There’s a group of people who control what you are allowed to see — the news you read, the videos you watch, the posts you engage with. You haven’t heard of them. You don’t know their names, but they determine, through methods both direct and indirect, whether you are allowed to be exposed to particular messages. Their decisions can bankrupt companies, silence voices, and fundamentally shift cultural norms. Who are these people and how do they do this?... (more)

PAGE SIX — Elon Musk’s brood just keeps growing. The Tesla mogul and one of his top Neuralink executives, Shivon Zilis, welcomed twins in November 2021, just one month before the arrival of his second child with on-again, off-again partner Grimes via surrogate. The three newborns join Musk’s six other living children: Griffin, Vivian, Kai, Saxon, Damian and X.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Christina Bobb, attorney for Donald Trump, told Newsmax on Monday that special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of the former president for events surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, wouldn't hold up in the United States Supreme Court.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — The president of the American Library Association (ALA) called the backlash to a tweet where she called herself a “Marxist lesbian,” regrettable in an interview with NBC News. In July, Emily Drabinski’s tweet calling herself a “Marxist lesbian” in celebration of being elected ALA president resurfaced, causing the Montana State Library to vote to leave the association. Since then, GOP lawmakers have called on their state libraries to leave the ALA, a reaction that Drabinski “didn’t anticipate,” according to NBC News on Monday.... (more)

PJ MEDIA — Sensuality and politics always make for a thorny combination. If one ever finds himself or herself mixing the two, it might be time for some psychological self-examination. You might recall, from a simpler time, when MSNBC host Chris Matthews got that infamous “thrill up his leg” live on TV while watching Barack Obama mass-seduce liberal women nationwide.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Elon Musk said in a social media post that his proposed cage fight with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg would be live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The social media moguls have been egging each other into a mixed martial arts cage match in Las Vegas since June. “The Zuck v. Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to a charity for veterans,” Musk said in a post on X early Sunday morning, without giving any further details.... (more)

RENEWAMERICA — RenewAmerica began in January 2002 as a grassroots support for Alan Keyes' MSNBC-TV show "Alan Keyes Is Making Sense." Over the years, the website has evolved into a significant pro-life political vehicle — gathering scores of talented new writers (along with a handful of well-known established ones), promoting the core issues of moral conservatism in a highly-readable "magazine" format, and amassing a loyal following, particularly through its twice-weekly newsletter....

NEWSMAX — A Russian court convicted imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny of extremism charges and sentenced him to 19 years in prison Friday. Navalny is already serving a nine-year term on a variety of charges that he says were politically motivated.... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — Evidence is dropping by the week pointing to Joe Biden’s involvement in a pay-for-play scheme trading political favors for foreign bribe money, with his bumbling son Hunter playing shady international go-between. But we can’t fault selective family man Joe for his poor judgment — he really just loves his son Hunter very much, and the two were working through their shared grief about the death of Biden’s elder son, Beau. Some father-son duos bond over fishing and golf — who are we to judge if the Biden men sought solace in some good old-fashioned influence-peddling and an obsessive meteorology hobby?... (more)

YOUTUBE — Tim is joined by former President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, to discuss Sound of Freedom and how together, they can put policies in place that will eradicate human trafficking!... (more)

BOB UNRUH — A letter from a group of international experts is warning that America's obsession with the transgender agenda, pushed by Joe Biden ever since before he even moved into the White House, is based on ideology, not evidence. The Christian Institute reports that a letter from a number of psychiatrists, pediatricians and medical practitioners, "including the University of Plymouth’s Professor Richard Byng and London-based clinical psychologist Dr Anna Hutchinson," was submitted to the Wall Street Journal to debunk a claim from the Endocrine Society that medical treatments, chemicals and surgical mutilations, "improved the well-being of gender-confused people."...

DEBRA HEINE — Jack Cashill’s latest book, Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America’s Cities, sets an important story straight: The author’s expertise on the subject of “white flight” did not come from a college course, a New York Times article, a documentary, or anything of that sort. As the son of an Irish police officer growing up in a working-class ethnic neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey, in the 1950s and 60s – he lived it.... (more)

YOUTUBE — In a video ad titled "Grace & Frankie have an Important Message for YOU about our Planet," Netflix's 'Grace and Frankie' cast implicitly denies the reality of God in an ideology-driven promotion of Greenpeace's extreme climate change agenda. It's fear-mongering – and pure pseudoscience.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — A powerful story of forgiveness is found in John 8, involving Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, wherein He famously said, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Her accusers quietly leave, one after another. Jesus then tells her that neither does He accuse her, “But go and sin no more”—a part often ignored today by our “tolerant” society.... (more)

SCIENCE 1ST — For generations, many of us have been fascinated by the idea of where we came from – and where we are going. Evolution has seen humans come a long way since the early days, but how much do we really know about our ancestors? The mind-blowing facts about early humans and evolution might just show things have changed a lot more than people realize. The twist? We might have been living our lives a certain way for longer than people have ever appreciated.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund called the events of Jan. 6 a cover-up in an interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, an interview that never aired but resurrected by The National Pulse. Sund made the comments on Carlson's show, "Tucker Carlson Today." But according to the Pulse, the interview was buried by Fox.... (more)

JOHN DANIEL DAVIDSON OF THE FEDERALIST — On Tuesday, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department took the unprecedented step of indicting former President Donald Trump — Biden’s chief rival in the upcoming 2024 election — for repeatedly expressing his opinion that the last election was stolen, rigged, and unfair. It’s an opinion millions of Americans share, and to which they are unquestionably entitled thanks to the First Amendment. That includes Trump, who has said repeatedly (and recently) that the 2020 election was stolen. He’ll probably keep saying it until his dying day, and he has every right to do so.... (more)

ROBERT SPENCER — From the beginning, the Biden regime has wanted to render Donald Trump politically dead. Now they’ve opened the possibility of death of a more physical variety. With their latest kangaroo court charges, their bête noire now faces the death penalty. Yes, that’s right: drug dealers, murderers, and rapists walk free in blue cities all the time, but a former president and current presidential candidate who dares to stand up to the political and media elites could now get the big sleep....

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY — A key associate of Hunter Biden reluctantly admitted details about how the Biden family business was run — and those details are shocking. Devon Archer, a longtime business partner and close friend of Hunter Biden’s, told congressional investigators Monday that at a meeting in Dubai on Dec. 4, 2015, top executives of Ukrainian energy concern Burisma asked Hunter Biden and himself for help from D.C. At the time of the meeting, Hunter Biden’s dad, Joe Biden, was serving as Barack Obama’s vice president as well as his point person on Ukraine. Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, a Burisma executive, wanted to get Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired as he was investigating the company for corruption, Archer told members of Congress....

DAILY MAIL — China is funding America's public schools to the tune of $17 million dollars, it has been revealed, with Republicans now probing the disturbing donations. The report by Parents Defending Education states that the close coordination between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and U.S. schools to establish Confucius Classrooms has historically included 143 school districts in 34 states and Washington, D.C. In addition, at least seven contracts are still active in Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington.... (more)

MARK SHEPARD — On July 27, I went to a forum hosted by Americans for Prosperity, which focused on fixing the deep problems in K-12 schooling. I had been asked to come and present my perspective by the organizer of the event, even though he knew I opposed one of the three proposals his organization was supporting. I very much appreciate his desire to allow consideration of a counter-perspective. Sound ideas come from encouraging open challenge and debate, especially from those who truly want to build a stronger society. Below are my remarks, with some clarifying changes:... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Hunter Biden's longtime friend and former business partner Devon Archer testified to congressional lawmakers Monday that "Burisma Holdings pressured Hunter in December 2015 to deal with a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the firm for corruption shortly before the then-vice president took steps to force the prosecutor's firing," a source "directly familiar" with Archer's transcribed interview told Just the News.... (more)

MIRANDA DEVINE — What a coincidence! On the eve of Devon Archer’s bombshell testimony to the House Oversight Committee, the Department of Justice tried to put him in jail. If you don’t suspect that’s an attempt to intimidate Hunter Biden’s former best friend before he reveals damaging secrets about the president, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.... (more)

PETER LABARBERA — A leading conservative international policy think tank is castigating Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum for trying to replicate in the West a CCP-style, high-tech, totalitarian system in which "a small group of elites bark orders and ordinary citizens dutifully obey." Gatestone Institute writer J.B. Shurk states in an essay published Friday that it is "bizarre ... to see so many international institutions today looking to China for global guidance." Shurk singles out WEF chair and founder Schwab of "Great Reset" notoriety, who "routinely applauds China's surveillance State for its capacity to 'nudge' citizens toward compliance."... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — This is the era of the ungrateful American. This is the time when some Americans pour contempt on their country—even before the whole world. For example, last week, at the opening of the World Cup of women’s soccer in Vietnam, all the Vietnamese players showed their pride for their country. But, as the New York Post notes, “Most members of the U.S. women’s soccer team stayed silent during the national anthem.”... (more)
