Life is sooo hard being a Former First Lady with a $70 million net worth. Remember in 2008 when Michelle Obama announced she only became proud of our nation right then, as she was about to achieve First Lady status? Now that she’s no longer First Lady, she joined the washed-up female star to podcaster pipeline, admitting on her show that she no longer has to pretend she likes America anymore. On Thursday, I joined Fox and Friends First to discuss how Obama has become the Meghan Markle of White House history. We also covered the Left’s antisemitic double standards when it comes to free speech on college campuses.      Going back to Obama, she patted herself on the back for refusing to have the decency to put her grudges behind her and show up at President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January (as if anyone outside her elite bubble cares that deeply, whether she attended or not). Refusing to get off her lazy butt apparently makes this narcissist a feminist martyr, in her own eyes. The former First Lady made up an imaginary misogynist overlord she somehow defeated by playing hooky and packaging it as a message for young women that “it’s okay to say no.” But congratulating yourself for staying home and doing the bare minimum is a core Leftist value, after all.

According to several recent reports, including one from the National Catholic Register, we’ve seen a huge surge in Catholic conversions — especially among younger generations. A recent New York Post article highlighted the “growing number of young people turning to the Catholic Church from other denominations, religions and even no faith at all.” What’s behind this sudden flocking to Catholicism? Glenn Beck says that people are drawn to Catholic rituals because they offer order and meaning in this era of progressive chaos. He reflects on Michelle Obama’s infamous 2008 speech, during which she claimed that “we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.” A decade and a half later, and it’s clear that uprooting tradition results in division, displacement, and disorder. Tradition, Glenn explains, is “deeply human” and serves to “mark moments that matter in our lives” and “helps organize things in our mind.” Catholicism, which is predicated on tradition, can restore the emptiness our current culture has adopted. “Rituals in Catholicism — the Eucharist or the confession — elevate this instinct, this need to the sacred, so it’s not just a routine; it is a bridge to meaning,” says Glenn. “That matters because when you have meaning and there's a storm in your life, it gives structure so it doesn't feel like the storm is just going to wipe you out entirely.” Modern worship doesn’t seem to offer the same stability as traditional worship. The Post article notes that “Gen Z crave clarity and certainty” and are therefore “rejecting lax alternatives of modern worship.” “Why? Because modern worship tells you you can believe anything; there are no real rules,” says Glenn. The problem is, that kind of progressive doctrine lacks substance, which is what the human soul is designed to thirst for. Ritual and tradition can offer a solution because they “build communities — like a congregation singing together in unison or a neighborhood block party,” says Glenn. “We now live in a world of screen and rush,” he explains. But rituals and traditions “will slow you down, make you present in the moment.” “They're not about rules; they're all about meaning if you do it right. This isn't about recognizing one faith over another. This is about recognizing what rituals do for us.” To hear more of Glenn’s analysis, watch the clip above.

A 15-year-old student appeared to stab another student, 16, during a fight inside a Washington, D.C.-area high school Wednesday — and cellphone video of the fight caught an adult walking past the altercation while appearing to take a photo of it. The fight started around 9:40 a.m. between three students at West Potomac High School in Fairfax County, authorities told WJLA-TV. 'Why would a teacher just stare and then walk off?' Cellphone video shows a student wearing a red T-shirt repeatedly punching a student wearing a black T-shirt, who's curled up and lying on the floor by a wall in a hallway. The video shows a third student with a dark backpack attempting to intervene, but the student wearing the red T-shirt begins punching him as well and backing him up to another wall. With that, video shows the student wearing the black T-shirt getting up, approaching the student wearing the red T-shirt, and apparently using a knife to stab him. A separate, blurred clip in the video shows what WTTG-TV described as a male on the ground "surrounded by a pool of blood." A separate still image as part of the overall video shows the student wearing the black T-shirt holding a knife. The 16-year-old was rushed to the hospital with injuries described as life-threatening, WJLA said, but Fairfax County Police hours later said the severity of the student's injuries were downgraded to stable. The 15-year-old suspect, a male, was taken into custody and is being charged with malicious wounding, WTTG said, adding that officials said the suspect and victim know each other.The third student, also 15, wasn't hurt and is not expected to be charged, although he was questioned, reports stated.The knife used in the stabbing was found, and an investigation is ongoing, police told WJLA.What about the adult seen in the video?In a separate story, WJLA-TV reported that cellphone video of the fight appeared to show an adult walking by during the altercation without intervening."There was a teacher there when they were fighting, but he just walked off,” a sophomore told the station. “Why would a teacher just stare and then walk off?”What's more, the station said the adult appeared to snap a photo of the altercation before walking away. WJLA said it wasn't clear if the adult eventually went to get help."There was a kid on the floor getting beaten,” Shelly Arnoldi, whose daughter is a senior at the school, told the station. “I know he didn't know the severity, but it's impossible to imagine that's OK."Michelle Reid, superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools, told WJLA in regard to the adult seen in the video that "it's never acceptable to walk by behavior that is dangerous. What I will say is this whole situation is currently under investigation. We'll be reviewing all the video, both the school video and law enforcement investigative details, and we'll take any appropriate actions as necessary.”You can view a video report here about the stabbing and its aftermath.Weapons detectors installedA day after the stabbing, weapons detectors were installed at West Potomac High School, the station said.WJLA said a pilot security program had been in place with several district schools being part of a gradual rollout, but officials said the stabbing accelerated the timeline for West Potomac.

Nina Jankowicz, the former czar of the Biden administration's short-lived Disinformation Governance Board and briefly also an adviser to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, addressed the European Parliament this week, telling members to "stand firm against another autocracy: the United States of America." Fresh off telling the House Foreign Affairs Committee that the "censorship industrial complex is a fiction," Jankowicz concern-mongered before foreign leaders about the Trump administration's fight against censorship efforts at home and abroad. Jankowicz stressed that Europeans should persist in their efforts to regulate content on social media, claiming that doing so while also throwing additional support behind Ukraine would be "the clearest signal the European Union could send to Russia and other adversaries that it will not stop fighting to preserve democracy at home and around the world." Like Democrats in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election and those European elites challenged in recent years by ascendant populist parties, Jankowicz appears to use "democracy" to denote a state of play preferable to the ever-weakening liberal establishment. 'Rubio gleefully announced he was obliterating the office.' Jankowicz, who previously emphasized that "freedom of speech does not necessarily mean freedom of reach" and registered as a foreign agent in 2022, appeared especially concerned about the threats supposedly posed to "democracy" by the Trump administration. In particular, she is vexed by the administration's opposition to the European Union's Digital Services Act, which critics have dubbed a "censorship law," as well as by the administration's shuttering of the censorious Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub, formerly the Global Engagement Center. "Just last week in the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio gleefully announced he was obliterating the office tasked with tracking and responding to foreign information, manipulation and interference," complained Jankowicz, referring to Rubio's April 16 announcement that the Hub was no more. The Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub was a rebrand of the Global Engagement Center, a multi-agency entity housed within the U.S. State Department that was credibly accused of working with domestic and foreign organizations to silence conservative voices. Jankowicz tried gaslighting Congress about the GEC during an April 1 hearing, claiming, "There was no censorship going on at the Global Engagement Center at the State Department." Contrary to the foreign agent's suggestion, Rubio noted last week that the GEC "cost taxpayers more than $50 million per year and actively silenced and censored the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving." The GEC worked with Jankowicz's fellow travelers in the censorship industry, backing, for instance, the Disinformation Index Inc. — the American component of the British think tank Global Disinformation Index — and NewsGuard Technologies. Blaze News previously reported that these two outfits generated blacklists of supposedly misleading news outfits with the aim of getting them demonetized and directing funds to news organizations that parrot approved narratives. While liberal publications like the Washington Post and NPR were labeled as the "least risky sites," Blaze News, Reason, the Federalist, the New York Post, and other websites carrying content apparently unpalatable to the liberal establishment made the top-10 list of "riskiest sites" and were smeared as having the "greatest level of disinformation risk." 'We will never restrict our citizens' right to free speech.' "Many other U.S. government institutions have been similarly dismantled in the months since President Trump took office under the guise of protecting free speech and allegedly 'ending censorship,'" continued Jankowicz in her address this week to the European Parliament. "Now the European Union has become the subject of the Trump administration and tech executives' ire." During his Feb. 11 speech at the Paris Artificial Intelligence Summit, Vice President JD Vance declared that social media platforms developed and/or based in the U.S. would remain free from ideological restraints, stating, "We will never restrict our citizens' right to free speech." One of the key European censorship initiatives at issue is the EU's Digital Services Act, which is touted as part of a regulatory strategy to "prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation." The European Commission has taken aim at Elon Musk and X for supposed content moderation violations under the DSA and has threatened monster fines. The commission slapped Meta and Apple with hundreds of millions of dollars in fines on Tuesday with parallel tech regulation, the Digital Markets Act. 'The Trump administration is undoubtedly preparing a pressure campaign to force EU institutions to roll back regulation like the DSA.' Ten days after Vance's speech, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum "to defend American companies and innovators from overseas extortion," in which he noted "regulations that dictate how American companies interact with consumers in the European Union, like the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act, will face scrutiny from the Administration." Despite this threat, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently told Politico that Europe is going after American companies anyway. "We apply the rules fairly, proportionally, and without bias. We don't care where a company's from and who's running it. We care about protecting people," said von der Leyen. Jankowicz, apparently enraged by the Trump administration's refusal to allow the regulation of American content by foreign powers, stated, "Neither Washington nor the social media platforms at his capture are interested in protecting democracy. They are interested in maintaining their power and hoarding profits." "The Trump administration is undoubtedly preparing a pressure campaign to force EU institutions to roll back regulation like the DSA, to end support for Ukraine, to stop holding Russia to account. Do not capitulate. Hold the line," said the self-described "Mary Poppins of disinformation." According to Jankowicz, social media regulation and cooperation from platforms are needed especially because the Kremlin is supposedly taking "advantage of decreased tech platform regulation and attention to foreign influence campaigns" and "using emerging technologies, including generative artificial intelligence, to infect our public discourse." "If Europe wishes to stand firm against Russia and defend its democracy and sovereignty, it must start by standing up against the bullies in the White House," concluded Jankowicz. Like Blaze News?
