Teachers from a Wisconsin school are being banned from displaying Black Lives Matter and pride flags in their classrooms, as the Wisconsin school board voted, saying such displays are political messaging.

Chris Licht, CNN’s president and CEO, declared to concerned staffers that the network would undergo more changes as he discussed the departure of Brian Stelter in the wake of the cancellation of Reliable Sources, a show he hosted on Sundays. That did little to calm the anxiety of the far-left network’s highly partisan staff. Sources that attended the editorial meeting reported that Licht told CNN employees, “There will be moves you may not agree with or understand.” Some took that to mean they may not like some of the changes. Allegedly, Licht also said that he wanted to acknowledge to…

A federal judge ordered the government to submit proposed redactions and said he is inclined to unseal at least some of the probable cause affidavit used to secure a search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate. After a hearing where a top government lawyer contended the document’s release could jeopardize an investigation that is still in its “early stages,” Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said: “On my initial careful review… there are portions of it that can be unsealed.” “I find that on the present record the Government has not met its burden of showing that the entire affidavit should…

Liz Cheney, the Wyoming Rep. was shamed by conservatives after she compared herself to Abraham Lincoln in her concession speech following her primary loss fueled by Donald Trump who backed her challenger, Harriet Hageman. This is what Cheney said of the 16th president after she was soundly beaten by Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman: “Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all.” Cheney went on, saying: “Lincoln ultimately prevailed.

When executing search warrants, the bureau “follows search and seizure procedures ordered by courts, then returns items that we do not need to be retained for law…

In what may be her attempt to turn the page and stay relevant during what could be the downfall of her career, the liberal MSNBC presenter Rachel Maddow has recently praised the current state of the cable news industry, particularly focusing on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show. Although Maddow and Carlson have opposing political ideologies, she gave a positive response of his rise to rating domination. The comment was made in response to an interviewer’s claim that Maddow’s time slot on MSNBC obviously needed a successor since she had just stepped down from her primetime hosting duties. “Like, Tucker’s…

After a recent report revealed that American businesses had added 528,000 people to their payrolls during the last month, Larry Summers said his worries about inflation have only intensified. The ex-treasure secretary explained that it’s good news that businesses began hiring more U.S. citizens, but the bad news is that the situation will further complicate the Federal Reserve’s struggle to keep the sky-high inflation under control while Joe Biden is president. “I’m more worried about inflation tonight than I was last night,” Summers explained. “And I think it’s misleading not to see things that way.” According to the most recent…
