In 2007‚ Todd Starnes was working at Fox News and covering then-Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  “I just felt like that was going to be the historic campaign‚ and it turned out to be‚” says Starnes‚ a bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host.  The political climate facing America right now is in part due to the “residual after-effects of the Barack Obama presidency‚” according to Starnes. The former Democratic senator from Illinois was president from 2009 to 2017. “First‚ Obama categorized all of the [2008 GOP opponent Sen.] John McCain supporters … [as] the folks that cling to their guns and their religion‚” Starnes said. “He called them ‘bitter’ Americans. He made those remarks in a speech in San Francisco. And then you had Hillary Clinton coming out and talking about the irredeemable ‘deplorables.’” Starnes says both Obama and Clinton “were trying to dehumanize their opponents‚ their political opponents.”  Second‚ Starnes points to Obama’s pledge to “fundamentally” transform America.  Asked on “The Daily Signal Podcast” whether Obama succeeded in his mission to “fundamentally” change the nation‚ Starnes said‚ “Absolutely‚ and again‚ it’s a brilliant strategy‚” going on to explain how the “transformation” occurred:  Everybody thought all these white liberals were going out and voting for Obama‚ thinking they were‚ you know‚ a part of the new civil rights movement. And even Obama himself promised to usher in this post-racial America. And in fact‚ it actually further divided the country‚ because Obama knew that if he really wanted to be impactful‚ he was going to have to ride that divide. And he did. And quite frankly‚ not only was it not the post-racial presidency‚ I think it really reverted us back to even before the civil rights movement itself. I mean‚ race relations‚ I think‚ are in a pretty rough spot right now. And it’s really because of the policies of the Democrat Party. They want to keep us divided. In his new book‚ “Twilight’s Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved?” Starnes explains how America arrived at the political division it finds itself in right now‚ and just how much time he thinks the nation has to right its course before it’s too late.  Starnes joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain more.  Listen to the podcast below: Have an opinion about this article?

A Roman marble sculpture of the head of a woman has been discovered during construction in the parking lot of Burghley House‚ the stately home near Stamford in Lincolnshire built by the Cecil family in the 16th century. The head of a sculpture was unearthed by mechanical digger operator Craig Crawley in April of 2023. Two weeks later the marble bust the head used to be attached to was found. After being cleaned‚ experts dated the sculpture from the First or Second Century‚ with an iron dowel added later‚ allowing it to be attached to a bust or pedestal. This type of adaptation was often carried out by Italian dealers in antiquities during the late 18th Century to make excavated ancient fragments more attractive to aristocrats travelling in Italy on what was known as the Grand Tour. It is believed that it was during one of the ninth Earl’s two tours to Italy in the 1760s‚ when he purchased many antiquities‚ that he brought the sculpture back to Burghley. Nobody knows how the head escaped from the house and would up buried where the car park was later built. The two parts were examined by the curator of Burghley’s collection and then transferred to a professional conservator for cleaning and reassembly. The head and the bust have now been conserved and reassembled. The sculpture will be on display on the dramatic Hell Staircase (named after the Baroque inferno painted on the walls and ceiling by Antonio Verrio in the 1690s) at Burghley House when it reopens for the season on March 16th. It will join other sculptures acquired by the ninth Earl during his travels.
