What have Little Red Riding Hood, Jane Austen’s Emma and prison reformer Elizabeth Fry got in common? They are all female-coded ‘compassionate’ girls and women who can help us understand why young women are veering to the radical Left. The New Statesman has reported on this trend and the predilection of young women to support various perceived victim groups – trans rights and Palestinians, for example – even when these groups clash with their own interests. Explained as “suicidal empathy” by Gad Saad and the “hijacking” of instinctive female care for victims by Eric Kaufmann, the lurch to extreme Left-wing ideology by young women today deserves our full attention.

Bari Weiss — the young, dynamic new head honcho at CBS News — is not at all interested in being accepted by the lefty communist collective clique that has had a stranglehold on American mainstream media seemingly forever. That's what makes her story so interesting, fun to watch, and important. It wouldn't be odd if she was, mind you. Ms. Weiss is decidedly left-leaning in her politics. She is something that we don't see much of anymore, an iconoclast who broke away from the leftist hive mind and survived all subsequent cancel attempts from the bedwetters.

New York’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is already discovering that governing can be a whole lot harder than campaigning — you actually have to manage a budget, deliver on services, and do so without alienating your key supporters and allies. The grinning socialist is realizing that he and the Big Apple are facing some serious fiscal issues, but he has three answers: 1) It’s all former Mayor Eric Adams' fault (with some help from disgraced former Empire State Governor Andrew Cuomo, and 2) Scare the heck out of everyone by saying we’re risking the next “Great Recession,”

President Trump said Wednesday he has dispatched a “massive armada” toward Iran as the theocratic regime continues its bloody crackdown on its own people — with Trump warning that Middle Eastern leaders could face the same fate as Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro. The president demanded that Tehran agree to negotiate a “fair and equitable deal” regarding its nuclear program and reminded the regime that he wasn’t afraid to use force against it last year. “A massive Armada is heading to Iran,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose.

Alex Pretti was “known” to federal law enforcement before he was fatally shot, and had broken a rib during a physical altercation with ICE agents a week before he was killed by a Border Patrol official on Saturday, sources say. Pretti “had a physical encounter with federal agents about a week before he was shot and killed by law enforcement,” CNN reported Tuesday. The incident unfolded after Pretti stopped his car upon observing ICE agents chasing a family on foot and got involved by “protesting their attempt to detain other individuals,” the outlet reported. He was then tackled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents —

A striking digital billboard display in New York City’s Times Square is promoting Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer’s book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, which reached #1 on Amazon the day before its January 20 release. Displayed prominently above the New York Police Department’s Times Square substation, the billboard juxtaposes Schweizer’s book cover alongside the words: “NYC, did you know? Terror groups linked to 9/11 are funding and helping elect members of Congress.” The layout spans two panels: one side features the book cover, while the other presents a visual of the Twin Towers —

The Saturday shooting death of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti has roiled the city of Minneapolis and sent thousands of demonstrators to the streets night after night in the frigid cold. The inflammatory rhetoric from leftists continues even as not all the facts are known. President Trump, meanwhile, is sending Border Czar Tom Homan to the Twin Cities to manage the volatile situation, while U.S. Border Patrol Commander‑at-Large Gregory Bovino and a number of his agents will reportedly be leaving town. However, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Bovino remains a valued member of the Trump administration:

Virginia is the epitome of a swing state, at least over the last few years. From far left Democrats to conservative Republicans and back again, the state seems to swing like an unlatched screen door in a hurricane. Now the state has gone from Glenn Youngkin to Abigail Spanberger, and with her comes a litany of anti-gun proposals that Democrats in the Old Dominion State have long wanted to implement. And as NRA executive director John Commerford notes, this marks a change in the Second Amendment in Virginia.

In a commentary article in the Financial Post on Tuesday, Bjørn Lomborg argues that Net Zero is “on its way out”, as politicians across the world face up to the high cost and tiny climate returns of raising energy prices. With voters “weary of soaring energy bills and annoyed by increasingly hysteric and patronising climate rhetoric”, governments from the US to UK, Germany to Australia are waking up to the “simple truth”: “aggressive Net Zero mandates are delivering economic pain for unmeasurable and far-off climate gain”. Lomborg senses “a new pragmatism” entering the climate debate

Why are at least two people dead and multiple federal law enforcement officers injured? What broader principle are Democrats, liberals and leftists rioting over in Minneapolis? It certainly isn’t the idea that states can defy the federal government on immigration law. Obama took Arizona v. United States to the Supreme Court to prevent states from enforcing their own immigration laws. The Biden administration dispatched some of the same federal immigration law enforcement officers now being assaulted and booed to dismantle barriers and fencing put up by states like Arizona and Texas to control the mass invasion of millions of illegal aliens.
