A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.
... .. That model proved gold for Democrats during Donald Trump's first term as president. The constant refrain that the "tyrant" was unraveling democracy provided their justification for tearing through standards and norms. In the name of saving the country from Trump excesses, we were told, holdover acting Attorney General Sally Yates had to defy presidential orders, the Federal Bureau of Investigation needed to lie to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a special counsel was required to dog a sitting president, the bureaucracy had a duty to "resist" Trump policy, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had to undergo a circus inquisition, and Congress had no choice but to hold Trump officials in contempt, issue unprecedented subpoenas and impeach the president.

Scott Bessent outlined his plan to enrich the rich and screw the poor during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking. When asked about whether he would renew Trump's tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, he called them the most important economic issue today. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was designed to disproportionately benefit the wealthy over the lower and middle classes. In 2025, the law is expected to deliver an average tax cut of more than $250,000 to the top 0.1 percent of earners, according to the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank. In contrast, poor Americans will net a $70 tax cut. Read more

Left-wing parties are more unpopular now than at any time since the end of the Cold War, The Telegraph has assessed. The analysis comes after a year of election triumphs for conservatives around the world, crowned by Donald Trump's election as US president. Right-wing groups emerged as the worldwide winners after more than 1.5 billion people voted in more than 70 countries in 2024, the most on record in a single year. Leftist parties suffered a record low average vote share of just 45.4 per cent in each democracy's latest election, according to Telegraph analysis of elections in 73 democracies.
New York Mayor Eric Adams, who was indicted on federal corruption charges last year, traveled to Mar-a-Lago on Thursday to meet with President-elect Donald Trump. The New York Times reported on the upcoming meeting, which was not on the Democratic mayor's public calendar. "Mayor Adams has made quite clear his willingness to work with President-elect Trump and his incoming administration on behalf of New Yorkers -- and that partnership with the federal government is critical to New York City's success," said Fabien Levy, the mayor's spokesman, in an email to the Times. Adams was indicted in September and was charged with acting on behalf of the Turkish government "as an unregistered foreign agent for taking actions in his official capacity as mayor after receiving donations from foreign sources."
For years America has muddled its way through an innumerable amount of pronouns and confusion over sexual identity as elites strove to push the boundaries on what it means to be a man, woman, or "they." Terms like "trad wife," "cismale/cisfemale" and "alpha male" became not just daily words introduced to a confused society, but slurs, intimating that whoever identified as the aforementioned, was a backward troglodyte who wanted everyone to transport back to the 1950s.

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to take executive action on bitcoin and cryptocurrency on his first day in office, according to a Monday report from the Washington Post.

In 1988, the great American novelist Kurt Vonnegut wrote a letter to the people of the future. Benedict Cumberbatch read this remarkably precient letter at Letters Live at London's Royal Albert Hall on 12th December 2024.
As the catastrophic fires continue to burn in Los Angeles, a fascinating documentary of the 1961 Bel Air fire has resurfaced, and it's as if it were talking (and warning us) about today's Palisades and Eaton Canyon fires. Only, unlike today's "experts," the narrator of Design for Disaster: The Story of the Bel Air Conflagration 1962 explains the dangers of living in the flammable hills of LA - especially perilous when the Santa Ana winds hit - with old-fashioned facts, rather than modern-day misinformation and conspiracy theories. The most eye-opening moment in the 27-minute film, which was produced by the Los Angeles Fire Department more than 60 years ago, was the segment about dry fire hydrants. "Even in attempts to save individual homes, firemen are further thwarted by the loss of water. How can a modern water system properly designed to meet emergency fire conditions fail to function?" the narrator asks. He then goes on to explain. Read more
Just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, the Biden Justice Department's hand-picked Trump prosecutor, Jack Smith, released a report on the investigation that resulted in the indictment of Donald Trump on four counts involving the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The report did not have a lot of new information in it " Smith has poured out his evidence in filing after filing for more than a year " but it did contain Smith's assessment that he could have convicted Trump had Trump not won the presidency and is thus no longer subject to federal prosecution. What else could Smith say? That he had spent all that time and money, and stirred up the country so much, on a case he thought he would lose? Of course Smith would express confidence. He had no other option. Now that he has quit, he leaves muttering, "I coulda won, I coulda won.
