The Free Press: โ€˜60 Minutes,โ€™ release the unedited Kamala Harris transcript

Those of us who have worked in legacy media organizations have a pretty good idea why the so-called โ€œmainstream pressโ€ has lost so much of its credibility.

Lake: Itโ€™s 1968 all over again, the year that left two leaders dead and shattered our politics

For months now, the parallels between 2024 and 1968 have seemed eerie. The Democratic convention is once again in Chicago this August, as it was 56 years ago.

Yoffe: Something is wrong with Joe Biden. Itโ€™s time for him to be assessed by doctors who will tell the truth.

It is time for Joe Biden, the president of the United States, to submit to a medical assessment performed by a group of independent doctors, doctors who are given carte blanche to release their findings. After Bidenโ€™s alarming performance at last weekโ€™s presidential debate, his stumbling over words, his inability to form a coherent argument, his slack jaw and blank stare, it became undeniable that something drastic had happened to the 81-year-old leader of the free world. It is time for the public to know what is wrongโ€”and what isnโ€™t wrongโ€”with him.

How public schools became ideological boot camps

A pair of teachers at New Jerseyโ€™s Fort Lee High School recentlyย taughtย students that Hamas is a peaceful โ€œresistance movementโ€ and Israel is committing genocide.ย Teachersย at Californiaโ€™s Berkeley Unified School District are โ€œindoctrinating students with antisemitic tropes and biased, one-sided anti-Israel propaganda disguised as education,โ€ according to a complaint by the Anti-Defamation League. Meanwhile, students recently chanted โ€œfrom the river to the seaโ€ at college campus โ€œtentifadasโ€โ€”butย when pressedย could identify neither.ย
