Biden's Border Betrayal: Murder, Lies, and Apologies to the WRONG People | 3/11/24
The radical Left got its way this weekend when President Biden was forced to apologize for calling Laken Rileyâs murder suspect âillegalâ instead of undocumented. Biden also made an equally absurd claim: "Look, they built the country." The Federalist is breaking open a false narrative that former President Donald Trump did not request 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6. Some are asserting today that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who served on the January 6 committee, suppressed evidence during the hearings. President Joe Biden wastes no time in signing a whopping $459 billion spending plan hot on the heels of the Senate's 75-22 vot...

Rethinking and Remembering: The 1898 Wilmington, NC Massacre and Coup
This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, I speak with historian Margaret M. Mulrooney about her new book, Race, Place, and Memory: Deep Currents in Wilmington, NC. It's a book that examines more than 300 years of a southern city's history of racial oppression and the ways in which its citizens have obscured this legacy with distorted and self-serving versions of events. The supreme example of this trend was the 1898 massacre and coup in which white supremacists massacred scores of African Americans and then overthrew the local government in the only recorded coup d'etat in US history...
