Tonight the NewsBusters staff is attending the Media Research Center’s 35th Anniversary Gala, “Night of the Unwoke!”

Tax Dollars Fund a Group Pushing ‘Transgender Identity’ on Two-Year-Olds
Transgender ideology might be the most destructive concept plaguing our nation today. Countless people are being brainwashed into thinking they have been born in the wrong body and are electing to mutilate themselves in order to appear more like the gender they “identify” with. The most troubling part of the trans movement is how it is targeting children and convincing them to make life-altering decisions, the consequences of which they aren’t capable of fully understanding.
Number of fugitives on terror watch list apprehended at border soars 400% – with experts warning extremists may already be in America plotting a major attack
The number of migrants on the US terror watch list crossing illegally over the southern border has gone up by 400 percent from last year, with an expert warning that a violent extremist may already be in America planning an attack.
US Customs and Border Protection reported that 78 immigrants on the US terror watch list have been apprehended crossing over the border last year, nearly four times as much as the 15 in 2021.
Last year’s report was up from three in 2020, with the US previously reporting zero in 2019, six in 2018, and just two in 2017.
Leftist Activist Groups Claim Amazon‘s ‘Ring Nation‘ Show Will Harm ‘Black and Brown People, and Abortion Seekers‘
Amazon-owned MGM’s Ring Nation show hasn’t debuted yet and has already generated controversy from leftist activist groups who believe the series will glorify digital surveillance culture. Now come accusations that the light-hearted show — think America’s Funniest Home Videos but based around Amazon Ring security cameras — is racist, with claims that it will harm “black and brown people.”
Inside Meghan Markle’s royal flop
The Duke and Duchess are being frozen out of Hollywood, one red-carpet event at a time
What does it mean to be an A-list Hollywood power couple? Celebrity, yes, but also respect. Look at George and Amal Clooney, a high-powered heartthrob and his equally high-powered human-rights-lawyer wife. Or look at Beyoncé and Jay-Z, hip-hop royalty and dedicated philanthropists. You and your partner can buy a mansion in the right zip code, hang out with the right people and say the right things at the right charity events, but that doesn’t make you a Hollywood power couple. Modern-day stardom is about more than name recognition. It takes charisma, dedication and charm. For all their striving, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just don’t have it. Britain has realized this — and Hollywood is starting to realize it too.
She’s quite the fantasist.
‘Expert’ Who Helped ‘Fact-Check’ Lab-Leak Theory, Was Secretly Part Of Dangerous Coronavirus Research
Danielle Anderson, a virologist often cited as a “biosafety expert” by journalists seeking to debunk the lab-leak theory, never disclosed she had worked on dangerous coronavirus research while fact-checking COVID-19 origin theories, resurfaced documents reveal.
Brian Lee Crowley: Canada has devolved into a childish country incapable of solving big problems
… One of the defining features of the postwar period was its almost unprecedented order and stability. That, in turn, created the comforting but childish illusion that the world was simply made this way, that we could insouciantly nibble away at the institutions and behaviours that underpinned this order and suffer no consequences other than to liberate ourselves from irksome constraints.
Canadian teacher laughably claims basic math equations are a form of ‘white supremacy’
A Canadian teacher from Ontario made the bizarre claim that basic mathematical equations such as 2+2=4 is somehow a form of “white supremacy.”
Heather Theijsmeijer, who serves as a math coordinator in Ontario, recently posted on Twitter, “There are many math education practices that we (white folk) don’t see as racist or supremacist.”
“Because they are so ingrained in our background and experiences (and we have been the ones to benefit from them.)”

Ukraine presses Canada to send more weapons as its forces push east
Ukraine has presented Canada with a new list of its military hardware needs as its army presses a counter-offensive against Russia in the east, CBC News has learned.

WARMINGTON: City of Toronto pulls controversial vaccination ad campaign within hours

Trudeau’s sycophants defend singing Bohemian Rhapsody before Queen’s funeral
Justin Trudeau’s office has defended the Canadian PM, after he was filmed singing by a piano in a London hotel, two days before the Queen’s funeral.
In a video shared on social media, the prime minister can be seen singing Bohemian Rhapsody by the British rock band, Queen.
The Queen was Canada’s head of state, and Mr Trudeau designated 19 September a national day of mourning in Canada.
Critics accused the PM of a lack of respect – but others defended him.
The world sees him as a twit, pity he is largely shielded by Canada’s compromised media.
John Ivison: Uh-oh, Trudeau’s back to not thinking about monetary policy again
Regular readers will know that this column is no fan of Pierre Poilievre’s pandering to conspiracy theories and bashing “elites.” But the new Conservative leader was on firm ground on Tuesday, when he said the Trudeau government doesn’t have a plan to fix inflation, and that its planned legislation to boost benefits with borrowed money throws gasoline on the inflationary fire.
Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s far-right favorite for prime minister, appeals to disgruntled voters
A video of the candidate runs in a loop on a screen next to the stage. Smiling nonstop and shaking hands, Giorgia Meloni’s voice booms over the Piazza del Carmine as it fills with people. They have come to Cagliari, Sardinia’s largest city, to hear the politician with the best chance of becoming Italy’s next prime minister and the first woman to hold the post. Polls ahead of the September 25 general election have shown her as the favorite for the role.
US detentions at Mexico border pass two million a year for first time
More than two million migrants were detained at the US-Mexico border over the past year, a record figure that creates a political headache for the Biden administration.
According to new figures from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the figure of 2.15 million represents a 24% increase on the year before.
The statistics show that the number of migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba rose dramatically, while the number from Mexico and Central America’s Northern Triangle of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras fell.
Not even a murdered dog can convince Park Slope progressives that crime is worth fighting
In the last couple of months in Park Slope — the baby bjorn-wearing capital of bourgeois-bohemian New York — a thief absconded with $200,000 worth of jewelry in a smash and grab, three boys stole a bunch of iPhones off of subway riders, a ticked off customer attacked the owner of a bike store, $6,000 was stolen from an auto shop, and a beloved pet was catnapped from a bodega on Seventh Avenue.
But it was the death of a golden retriever mix named Moose that activated the residents of the South Brooklyn enclave.
