North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has announced that up to 30 officials are set to be executed over their alleged failure to prevent enormous flooding and landslides in the summer that resulted in the deaths of close to 4,000 people. 

A new photo taken of relatives of Minnesota governor and Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz (D-Minn.) supporting 2024 GOP candidate Donald Trump, his and Harris's rival, has surfaced online.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings expressed surprise on Tuesday that people were still complaining about former President Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery — accompanied by several Gold Star families — a full week later. Jennings told anchor Wolf Blitzer that he was especially “baffled” by the continued focus on Team Trump taking a few photos and videos — which was against cemetery rules despite having been approved by the Gold Star families — while they paid no attention that Vice President Kamala Harris was a no-show.

Media personality Brian Stelter, who was fired by CNN two years ago as his ratings had tanked, announced he will be returning to the network. “I’m returning to @CNN in a brand new role as Chief Media Analyst. I’ll be appearing on TV, developing digital content, and once again helming the Reliable Sources newsletter,” he wrote on X. I'm returning to @CNN in a brand new role as Chief Media Analyst. I'll be appearing on TV, developing digital content, and once again helming the Reliable Sources newsletter. — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) September 3, 2024   Stelter continued by citing “the sheer amount of talent at CNN covering media, tech, pop culture, infowars,” calling it “stunning.” “We’re going to reimagine the digest and deliver what you value most. Everyone and everything is a source now. So what’s reliable?” he asked rhetorically. “I’m coming back to CNN with a fresh perspective,” he insisted. “See, I always scoffed at people who said ‘getting fired was the best thing that’s ever happened to me’ — until it happened to me. After 20+ years as a news junkie, I changed my media habits. I tuned out for a bit … and I experienced the news more like an everyday consumer. In doing so, I learned a whole lot about the attention economy and the information ecosystem. So this time around will be different, because I am different.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. In November 2021, Stelter stated, “So much of what might happen in the next three years is sadly predictable,” he said. “Reporters who try to counter Trump’s lies are jeered and smeared more than ever before. His verbal attacks against the media are so pervasive now that physical violence erupts more often: beatings at rallies, bombs in newsrooms… The bombs don’t explode, but that isn’t the point. Fear is the point: silence through force.” In August 2020, Stelter defended Joe Biden from critics saying he showed signs of cognitive decline, saying, “Fox’s narrative and talk radio’s narrative for months has been that Joe Biden is falling apart. You just heard Ben Shapiro say it, falling apart. And there he is riding a bike, out for a bike ride. And Fox, of all networks, is the one that showed it happen.” Shapiro responded to Stelter’s segment by writing on Twitter, “I’m sorry, but ‘Biden rode a bike!’ is not a good comeback to ‘Biden is falling apart.’ My son also rides a bike. He is four, and not qualified to be president.” Look, look, he's fine, he's riding a bike! pic.twitter.com/ZRJWoY0s3O — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) August 10, 2020   In 2018, Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” deceptively edited clips of NRA member Colion Noir and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch saying that the media loved mass shootings. The show conveniently edited out how both Loesch and Noir specifically qualified their statements by stating they were not implying the media loved the tragedy of the shootings but that the media loved the ratings they gained from the shootings.

Conservative commentator and podcast host Megyn Kelly had nothing but rave reviews for the upcoming Daily Wire documentary, “Am I Racist?”  Kelly sat down with creator and Daily Wire host Matt Walsh to discuss what happened behind the scenes, including how Walsh was able to go undercover among the DEI crowd, including “White Fragility” author Robin D’Angelo. “Everyone must see,” Kelly said.  “If you watch this movie for no other reason, watch it to see the scene where Matt Walsh, in his man bun, sits down with Robin D’Angelo,” she added. “I died. Honestly, there were so many great moments in there, again I’ll keep them a secret, but one of my favorites was when the issue of what is mansplaining… and let’s just say you’ll laugh just as hard as Doug and I did when you get to that scene.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Walsh is not in disguise at the beginning of the film, but after being recognized, he goes semi-incognito and dons a tweed jacket, skinny jeans, and a man bun, and carries a man bag equipped with a copy of Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist.” Even with the change in fashion, Walsh still looked like himself. Kelly marveled that he was able to gain access to people like D’Angelo. The best-selling author is currently embattled in a scandal after being accused of plagiarism by several scholars, including minorities, in her 2004 dissertation.  Walsh said he and the film crew used the participants’ “arrogance and false sense of security” to get interviews with people who appear in the film. He said they all live in such a “bubble” and rarely encounter people who disagree with them, which made it easier to infiltrate their ranks without an elaborate disguise. Kelly also debuted a new clip from the documentary which shows Walsh speaking with anti-racist educator Kate Slater, known for creating what she calls an “anti-racist road map.” Watch this exclusive clip from @MattWalshBlog‘s new documentary “Am I Racist?” below – and check out my full interview today with Matt here: https://t.co/ZxblULlLxU pic.twitter.com/EpQilEJrzo — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) September 3, 2024 In the clip, Slater complains about her young daughter preferring “white princesses” in Disney movies. Walsh responded by saying his 3-year-old daughter’s favorite princess is Moana, but said he was fearful of committing “cultural appropriation” by allowing her to dress like Moana for Halloween. “Do I go and buy the Pacific Islander native attire for my white 3-year-old?” Walsh asked Slater, referring to it as “The Moana Problem.” “I wouldn’t. I f***ing wouldn’t,” she replied. “It’s almost like no matter which way you go, you end up back in racism,” the podcaster said. Slater chalked it up to “living in a white supremacist society.” “Is America an inherently racist country?” Walsh asked. Slater initially tried to avoid making a declarative statement by focusing on the word “inherent” and saying she couldn’t say that for sure. So Walsh tried another tactic. It was all in service of fulfilling the documentary’s mission of exposing the DEI grift. After suggesting that America was “fundamentally” racist, Slater agreed. “Fundamentally, yes, America is racist to its bones,” she said. “Am I Racist?” will hit theaters on September 13.

The Mayo Clinic’s legal counsel taught universities and companies in the medical field how to continue advancing the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda despite the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action, audio obtained by The Daily Wire reveals. Mayo Clinic legal counsel and employment attorney Laura Vannelli gave a talk at the Mayo Clinic’s Rise for Equity conference in early August, grieving the Supreme Court’s ruling against race-based discrimination in college admissions before explaining how those in the medical field could continue to push the DEI agenda. “My goal today is to provide a simple legal analysis of the information you need to know and help you understand practically what you are still lawfully able to do to advance your DEI efforts,” Vannelli said according to audio obtained by The Daily Wire. “If we can’t get a diverse student body, then we can’t get a diverse medical staff, and we can’t effectively provide the best culturally competent care to our patient population.” The remarks come as  medical providers and medical schools alike embrace the left-wing DEI agenda under the banner of “health equity.” Proponents claim that health disparities between demographic groups are necessarily a product of discrimination or systemic oppression. Vannelli also encouraged institutions across the medical field to “be intentional in your recruitment of underrepresented candidates” while warning against policies that could run afoul of the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action in the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. “Don’t implement quotas; be thoughtful about it, but still pursue your goals.” Vannelli warned, however, that the broader DEI agenda could be threatened by the Supreme Court’s decision. “We’re starting to see…groups that are using the rationale provided in the Court’s decision in a Title VI context, to try to take down educational DEI – in the employment context – DEI programming.” She went on to specifically criticize Edward Blum, president of Students for Fair Admissions, the organization credited with taking down discriminatory affirmative action practices in academia. “The last thing I want to do is to give this guy much breath, but I think it’s important because this – and again, I’m speaking on behalf of myself and not on behalf of the Mayo Clinic, because I’m expressing my personal views here,” Vannelli began. “Edward Blum has been around for a while and this success behind taking down affirmative action in higher education really emboldened him.” “Institutions like this are trying to achieve across the nation and at the federal level to try to prevent groups in all kinds of fields from trying to level the playing field,” she said of Blum’s broader efforts. Despite her words of caution, Vannelli went on to encourage medical institutions to continue pursuing the DEI agenda. She explained that medical institutions can continue organizing “affinity groups,” race and sexuality-based associations that often act as identity-based activist nodes within wider institutions. Emory University School of Medicine, for example, has affinity groups for students and faculty called “Black Men in White Coats,” the “Latina/o/x Faculty Affinity Group,” and the “LGBTQ+ Faculty Affinity Group,” among others. “You can still host retention programming relating to race; so this might be affinity groups within higher education, so long as those groups are open to all,” Vannelli said. The Mayo Clinic is far from the only institution in the health field that has embraced DEI. Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro previously revealed that the University of California Los Angeles Medical School was indoctrinating its students with “anti-white, anti-American hatred.” “UCLA med students are told to read about wars of ‘Indigenous resistance’ – in which Native Americans killed thousands of white people – to ‘imagine what liberation could look like,’” Shapiro said, detailing the coursework in a class called “Structural Racism and Health Equity.” Another investigation from The Daily Wire revealed that the University of Minnesota Twin Cities School of Public Health hosted “anti-racism” trainings that fully embraced the Critical Race Theory agenda. The trainings claim that capitalism was “built on slavery and racism” and that “racism is the status quo” of “all white settler colonialist societies.”

The Justice Department under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Wednesday that Russia has been working diligently to interfere in the 2024 presidential election — and critics couldn’t help but notice that they’d seen this exact playbook run before in 2016. Attorney General Merrick Garland spoke on the subject on Wednesday, saying that the DOJ was already working to disrupt Russia’s efforts and thwart any similar attempts from other countries like Iran and China. “We will be relentlessly aggressive in countering and disrupting attempts by Russia, and Iran, as well as China.” AG Merrick Garland addresses Kremlin-led scheme to influence the U.S. election. He also warns that other countries are attempting to manipulate public opinion. pic.twitter.com/PFHc4YdaTK — MSNBC (@MSNBC) September 4, 2024 But as critics quickly pointed out, Democrats had blamed Russian interference for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss — and many speculated that perhaps they were trying to hedge their bets ahead of 2024.
