A Minnesota mother is outraged after her daughter had allegedly been attacked by a group of Muslim girls “because of her race and her religion.”

The alleged assault occurred on April 29 at Hidden Valley Elementary in Savage, Minnesota, about 20 miles south of Minneapolis. The victim’s mother, Shawna Larson, told Alpha News that on that day, a group of Muslim girls, who “had been friends” with her daughter “all year long,” suddenly walked up to her daughter on the playground and slugged her in the face.

‘This isn’t just happening to my daughter. This is happening to hundreds, thousands of kids all over the country, and it’s the lack of consequences kids have nowadays to their actions that is creating bigger issues in schools.’

Southwestern University Blasts Student’s Anti-Israel Commencement Speech

Southwestern University on Monday condemned a student’s speech at its commencement Saturday, characterizing as “highly controversial and antisemitic” her use of the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and asserting that she had misled institutional officials by delivering a different speech from the one she had shared with them earlier.

“We … expect that student speeches at university-wide events reflect our commitment to a respectful and inclusive environment, while still upholding academic freedom that is the center of our mission,” the university said in its statement. “Unfortunately, certain comments did not reflect our respectful and inclusive environment.”

Third grade used to be about learning to write in cursive and mastering multiplication tables. In the America that the left has given us, it’s a different story, as we can see from a ghastly incident that just took place in Savage, Minn.

If you haven’t heard of Savage, Minn., that’s only because it isn’t. Savage is a suburban town of 33,000 that is fifteen miles from downtown Minneapolis and, since its founding in 1852, has been worlds away from any actual savagery. Now, however, it has started to live up to its name, thanks to the “diversity” that has been pushed on Americans as a wonderful way to make our nation more “vibrant.”

A recent set of New York Times / Siena polls show that nearly one in five registered voters from six swing states, including many Catholics, did not vote in the 2020 presidential election.

The polls surveyed respondents from the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Of those registered voters, 18% said they did not vote in 2020. Thirty-nine percent indicated they voted for Joe Biden, while 36% said their vote was for Donald Trump.

However, the polls also asked the respondents their religious affiliation. Eighteen percent indicated that they considered themselves to be Catholics.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Jonathan Darnel has been sentenced to 34 months in jail and a $125 fine Wednesday morning, in the second batch of pro-life activists convicted last year of blocking access to a late-term abortion facility in the nation’s capital, a case pro-life leaders call an egregious case of Biden administration overreach.

On August 29, 2023 a D.C. jury found Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty, and John Hinshaw guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and conspiracy against rights. The next month, Darnel, Joan Andrews Bell, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same; Paulette Harlow’s conviction came in November.

Earlier today, a large crowd gathered at a rally outside Parliament at the start of the biggest Parliamentary battle on abortion in a generation.

MPs will soon be given the opportunity to vote on two pro-life changes to the law: one amendment tabled by Caroline Ansell MP to lower the abortion time limit from 24 weeks to 22 weeks; and another tabled by Sir Liam Fox MP that would bring the abortion time limit for babies with Down’s syndrome in line with the time limit for babies that do not have disabilities. Abortion for Down’s syndrome is currently legal right up to birth.

If discarded ballots, inaccurate election results, and election outcomes that contradict the wishes of voters aren’t enough to make you distrust ranked-choice voting (RCV), then maybe an endorsement from members of America’s communist party will.

On Sunday, Drew Bradley and Ryan Krueger, two members of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), penned an op-ed calling on the party to consider “ranked choice voting as part of the broad democratic struggle and an aspect of building a stronger Popular Front.” Under RCV, which critics often refer to as “rigged-choice voting,” voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter’s second-choice candidate. This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) is pushing for the Washington Commanders to honor the team’s former logo as the Senate bill to redevelop the site of the former Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium is being debated.

The former logo of the team, when they were known as the Washington Redskins, depicts a Native American designed after Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Daines’s home state of Montana. Daines has threatened to hold up the bill from passing quickly if the team does not properly honor the old logo.

The Montana senator has explicitly said he is not calling for the team to revert to the “Redskins” name but that they should consult with the grandson of Wetzel, Ryan Wetzel, for the logo to be used in some way to honor him.

Make no mistake, this iconic logo was inspired and envisioned by Blackie Wetzel as a tribute to Native Americans. It is not a caricature. It is a depiction of pride, strength, courage and honor.

United States Representative Jim Banks (R-Indiana) recently confronted Biden’s secretary of health and human services, Xavier Becerra, about non-governmental organizations raking in massive profits from human trafficking, including child smuggling, due to the administration’s open border crisis.

In a statement to Blaze News, Banks said, “Illegal human traffickers are making billions in profits and Joe Biden is sending their NGO accomplices billions of your tax dollars every year. The Biden border crisis is a racket. Democrat activists and Mexican cartels get rich, American taxpayers get ripped off, and foreign children suffer.”

‘I think that’s shameful, it’s sickening.’

The fact that Mitt Romney (R-UT) gave an interview with a talking head at MSNBC itself says a lot about the junior senator from Utah, but in the course of that interview, Senator Romney made an interesting statement: that President Joe Biden not only should have pardoned former President Trump on any federal charges but should also have pressured prosecutors to drop any state or local charges. But not before throwing some shade at his fellow Republicans for supporting the former President.

Yes, really.

In an exclusive interview on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle,” Romney expressed his dismay in response to Republican lawmakers, including the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s vice presidential prospects, rallying to Trump’s defense outside of the Manhattan courthouse where Trump’s hush money trial is taking place.

The 2024 presidential campaign took an interesting turn on Wednesday when Joe Biden, after months of ignoring Donald Trump’s calls to debate, did his best Clint Eastwood impression and challenged Trump to two debates, one in June and the other in September.

“Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate,” Biden claimed in a video message, conveniently forgetting that he has also refused to debate his primary challengers. But since when has Biden cared about facts? “Now he is acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I’ll even do it twice. So let’s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”

Biden’s video message, a mere 13 seconds long, had five jump cuts, indicating that it took multiple takes for him to deliver the short message correctly.

The firm of Democrats’ favorite lawfare artist — who was also the attorney behind the Russia-collusion hoax — was all but laughed out of court in a recent Wisconsin election integrity case.

D.C.-based Elias Law Group, founded by former Clinton campaign and Democrat National Committee lawyer Marc Elias, brought a “novel” absentee ballot complaint against the state that an Obama-appointed judge called “head-scratching.”

In dismissing the lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission, U.S District Court Chief Judge James D. Peterson summarily rejected the leftist law group’s outlandish claim that a state law requiring a U.S. citizen witness and sign an absentee voter’s ballot is a violation of voting and civil rights.

In recent weeks, President Joe Biden has claimed repeatedly now that inflation was at 9 percent when he took office in January 2021. Last week’s comments came in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, which touched upon inflation. Biden tried to push Americans into being more grateful about the economy, including through such a false claim, as he then even bragged about the matter. The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has more examples of such false claims about inflation, though, including and especially about the 9 percent figure.

“Three times now, Biden has suggested that inflation was 9 percent … when he took office.”

“The fact that the president has gotten this wrong three times suggests this is more than slip of the tongue. He earns Four Pinocchios.”
