TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Andrew Gillum, Tallahassee's telegenic  former mayor and the 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor , was involved in a meth overdose incident early Friday morning in a Miami Beach hotel room. It was an embarrassing and devastating blow to Gillum, a long-serving former city commissioner and mayor who still harbored ambitions of becoming governor one day.  A Miami Beach Police Department report says officers were called to a West Avenue hotel around 1 a.m. and found Gillum there with two other men, one of whom was being treated for a possible drug overdose. Gillum was too inebriated to speak with officers, though he was later reported in stable condition and with normal vital signs. Police found plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth on the bed and floor of the hotel room, the report says. But Gillum, in a prepared statement issued shortly after news broke, denied using the drug and offered an apology. "I was in Miami last night for a...

Here was the first black president of the United States, promising to be a leader for all Americans, to halt the rise of the oceans and to be the most transparent administration ever. Even black Americans were saying the Civil War was finally over. Unfortunately for America, it didn’t turn out that way. As more and more evidence is revealed daily on the evening news, it is now very clear the Obama administration was the most corrupt presidency in the history of the republic.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is so dedicated to promoting abortion and forcing Americans to fund killing babies in abortion that she has been caught trying to add taxpayer financing of abortions to the bill to combat the Coronavirus and provide economic stimulus to the nation as it deals with the COVD-19 outbreak. Nancy Pelosi has a long history of promoting abortion and  her first act after becoming Speaker in 2019 was pushing legislation to use tax money for abortions . So it’s no surprise she is trying to exploit the Coronavirus pandemic to push abortion funding again. As The Daily Caller reports : House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to include a potential way to guarantee federal funding for abortion into the coronavirus economic stimulus plan, according to multiple senior White House officials. Speaking to the Daily Caller, those officials alleged that while negotiating the stimulus with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Pelosi tried to lobby for “several” provisions...

Mr. Fleming is on the advisory board of  HNN .  This article is adapted from Thomas Fleming’s new book,  A Disease In the Public Mind – A New Understanding of Why We Fought the Civil War . Part three of a three-part series. Illustration for 1853 edition of  Uncle Tom's Cabin . Credit: Wiki Commons. Today’s readers of  Uncle Tom’s Cabin  have no idea that there was a real Uncle Tom. Neither did the readers of the  1850s . His name was Josiah Henson. He was born a slave in Maryland in 1789. Harriet Beecher Stowe admitted that his story was part of the inspiration for her novel. But she never adequately explained why her fictional Uncle Tom was so different from the real one. The difference was and is profound. The real Tom should prompt modern read...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few years, you’ve likely noticed that “socialism” has become increasingly popular in the United States, particularly among young people. When we first noticed this trend in 2016, it made economist Robert Lawson and I, pause, scratch our heads, and ask, “Could this really be a trend with a future?” We knew that socialist countries had killed roughly 100 million of their own citizens in the 20th century. We knew that socialist economies stagnated. While socialists preached equality, the reality was, as George Orwell put it in  Animal Farm , that some animals were more equal than others in socialist countries. Orwell’s point? The political elite in truly socialistic countries fare much better than ordinary citizens. Historians long ago discovered Karl Marx’s idea of equality always gets subverted by people who really just want power and, therefore, inevitably organize authoritarian regimes. How could our fellow Americans, m...
