Truth can withstand scrutiny. It’s fearless. It doesn’t require consensus or coercion to make you believe it, just the courage to speak it. Conversely, the lie can’t exist without consensus or coercion. It’s frightened by scrutiny, strengthened by ignorance and propelled by fear.

Don’t worry ya’ll, he was declared safe from monkey noises.
OMG. Video reportedly captured on a Mahoning Valley Community Schools bus in Ohio shows a male student BRUTALLY attacking a female student as others laugh and do nothing. The bus driver and the aide also allegedly did NOT intervene to stop the attack. School officials also allegedly did not contact the female student's parents, and she was not seen by the nurse. We reached out to the school for comment, but they did not respond.

As a liberal, I support this. Some people only care about being rescued from a burning building. I happen to care about something bigger than myself. I'd rather burn to death knowing my fire department achieved equity than be rescued by one that didn't.
Austin is paying a firm $1.2 million to design its firefighter entrance exam so that black, Hispanics and women score better. The contract orders the firm to use test sections that "reduce or eliminate disparate impact" on those three groups. If those groups still score lower, the firm says it will recommend branding and "compensatory adjustments," among other things. Federal law bans adjusting hiring test scores by race or sex. In 2009 the Supreme Court ruled that New Haven broke civil rights law when it threw out a firefighter exam because too few black candidates passed.

If war ever reaches American soil, the enemy better understand one thing. The American people are NOT defenseless, NOT helpless, and NOT waiting for permission to defend their families, their homes, and their freedom. This is OUR homeland. We will defend it.

The REAL story finally came out. And THIS is exactly why I waited before jumping on the outrage bandwagon. Not only had these individuals pulled the same stupid prank in front of FOUR other Ring cameras before reaching this apartment, but BOTH sides have now acknowledged that they didn’t even know each other. The pranksters didn’t even know the race of the people living inside the apartment. Now these individuals are being threatened, doxxed, and dragged across the internet. One even left the university. Was the prank stupid? Absolutely. Does that justify what is happening to them now? NOT EVEN CLOSE. Imagine living in a world where making monkey noises into a Ring camera can potentially land you in more trouble than k*lling your own THREE CHILDREN. Imagine living in a world where a woman pulled a stupid prank and is forced to step away from her education, but a MURDERER who admitted to k*lling a student at a track meet is not expelled and is allowed to graduate. The world is backwards.

😭This is exhausting. That is definitely not a genuine question. It’s like asking “Man, I didn’t know young people did stupid stuff from time to time, how is this possible?” But to answer your disingenuous question anyway: because maybe she’s being accused of something she didn’t do—what mostly everyone and the media accused her of doing. None of the alleged perpetrators have been interviewed to tell their side of the story either. Further, I think the odds that in 2026, white college students would go out of their way to knowingly harass black students in a public racially derogatory manner risking to be virtually dragged through the proverbial mud and that their lives; in at least the short term, would be ruined is low to not even considerable. Even in the workplace, folks walk around on egg shells around certain people and have to carefully watch what they say, day in and day out, because even the most benign things can be interpreted as offensive. I know, because I was in EO/HR. Not to mention the fact that one girl apologized and one girl did not should at least bring into question the authenticity of the intentionality of the claim itself. Well, at least to those with an open mind not seeking views or clicks. Nevertheless, it didn’t matter because mass media decided quickly for the masses that refuse to think for themselves that all you need to know is that the alleged perpetrators were white and the alleged victims were black—It must’ve been racism—you guys did the rest. You may now continue to clutch your imaginary pearls to fingers bleed.
Genuinely what the hell is wrong with people that defend this girl? WHY At the very least you don’t have the decency to not fucking harass people?

Well, well, well. The Ole Miss racial incident story just took a MAJOR turn. One of the students involved says the girls immediately apologized and told her, “I’m sorry, we did that to like 4 doors.” One of the girls accused also says she had never met the students and didn’t even know their race. So this wasn’t some incident targeting one particular group of students. They were doing it to multiple doors. The families of these girls need to start suing the media outlets.

Worse Superman movie of my lifetime. I think I’ll rename him Soyperman. At this point I’m surprised they didn’t make him with a rainbow cape.
I’ll always remember walking out of the theater BEAMING with happiness and hope. Fuck corporate greed or whatever other bullshit that tries to tell us that this wasn’t PEAK.

Dear non-Muslims, Imagine all the Muslims in your country decided to leave and relocate to an Islamic country where they could freely practise their faith, follow Islamic principles and live according to their beliefs. Would you be happy to see us go, or would you feel our absence? Be honest, would you support that choice or oppose it?

🚨 Wanna see what our Department of Education is funding? It’s ugly. See this guy? I’ll donate $100k to our Education Secretary’s favorite charity if she can tell me who he is, what university he’s at, and his background. Because if you don’t know who he is, you are not prepared for this war. This is UCLA Professor Hatem Bazian. He’s from JORDAN. And he’s one of the most influential professors in America. He’s famous for his lengthy history of antisemitism, as well as tweeting cartoons of Jewish citizens saying they can “kill, rape, smuggle organs, and steal land.” He’s the co-founder of the Students for Justice in Palestine, which over the last two years has been the most destructive force on our campuses. He’s also the co-founder of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a powerful activist organization that lobbies in D.C. for the destruction of Israel and the rise of political Islam in America. President Trump’s IRS just handed Drop Site News 501(c)(3) status. Drop Site is a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda, especially among students on our campuses. They frequently promote videos of Professor Bazian and other anti-American, antisemitic professors on their news feed. When they push videos like the one below, where Professor Bazian calls for Jews to be removed and thrown into the “dustbin of history,” tens of thousands of American students will see it in a matter of hours. Not only must the IRS revoke the 501(c)(3) status of Drop Site News, but our Department of Education MUST HALT FUNDING to UCLA, where Professor Bazian is indoctrinating students into the most dangerous ideology of our time. $600 MILLION in federal funding for UCLA this year. $600 MILLION. @IRS @usedgov @StephenM
IRS has granted 501(c)(3) tax exempt status to @DropSiteNews, the pro-Hamas website funded by George Soros. They were getting tax-deductible donations through a fiscal sponsor, Social Security Works Education Fund (Drop Site never writes about Social Security) apps.irs.gov/pub/epostcard/d…

See, there’s still people out here that actually think for themselves @CBS Nice try
It's actually really fucked up to frame this as a racism if these young women didn't even know who lived at that apartment and did the same gestures outside of other doors. You're just ruining their lives for funsies based on a false interpretation.

This statement is historically false.
White people have to take credit for starting it first

What’s one word to describe someone who is insanely hypocritical?
Funny how white people do some racist ass shit to some black people and now they’re the victims all of a sudden. Fuck yall and all your white privilege.

I refuse to be gaslit into oblivion. Making monkey noises is whatever because NO ONE even knows what happened in the situation that mass media has ridiculously turned into a National Moral Emergency, so I don’t know what to think about it. I need more info than: ‘Look!! The girls are white and the other girls are black!! Be mad!!’ What are we 10 years old now? What I do know for a fact is that being brutally murdered over the color of your skin is factually worse than allegedly having your feelings hurt.

We have a D-Day memorial not too far away from me in Bedford where hundreds attend annually for Veterans Day and I can promise you that wouldn’t have happened there.
I am so sad to report what has happened just now. At 11:11 on 11/11 at victory memorial drive on Veterans Day taps is usually played as the sun shines upon the glorious sundial that the flagpole of VMD actually is. There are two very special days on Victory Memorial Drive: Memorial Day and Veterans Day. On Memorial Day we have flags out and, as a park commissioner, I worked with the superintendent to make sure various maintenance was prioritized in the schedule for that day. On Veterans Day, veterans from all over gravitate to the pole to have a moment of silence for those fallen. Victory memorial drive is a specific World War One memorial to those who lost their lives from Hennepin County during the war. It is the only such memorial in the whole country. Now, I am very supportive of protest, but to take over the whole flagpole at 11am on 11/11 is a very intentional desecration. Many veterans and children of veterans wanting to pay their respects alerted me as I was headed over myself. It was a protest. But a protest for what? “Veterans for peace” supporting Palestine? Until the day I die I will never understand the conflation. I also am sure they didn’t have a permit. As a former commissioner I know that amplified sound at these historic sites requires a permit. This makes me very sad. Veterans and family couldn’t even honor their loved ones today at 11:11. Another stolen moment, destroyed by hubris and conceit. Not an American flag in sight. They were proud they took over the memorial. I’d love an investigation into this @MplsParkBoard . I used to take my son here as a boy to teach him about respecting our veterans and also the purpose of the flagpole. How it was actually children at Loring Community School who “saved their pennies “ to fund the memorial. Fascinating that the reason I was late is because I was writing about our history and how we must learn from it, or we repeat. I cannot believe even our fallen dead cannot have a moment of silence in our current society. #VeteransDay2026

It’s pretty wild that Karmelo Anthony was allowed to stay in school, after murdering a white guy. But a girl making monkey noises to a ring camera was forced to leave school.

Has anyone considered that maybe something happened prior to? Only reason I bring this up is how many white people do you know would risk a national emergency by being blatantly racist to a black person? I can think of none.

No, I don’t care that two white girls made monkey noises at a door cam. Not even a tiny little bit. And here’s why.
