Americans are increasingly being taught to see themselves not as individuals, but as members of demographic groups whose race, sex, or ancestry defines their experiences, beliefs, and even moral standing — and Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck has the stories to prove it.

In one example, Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico explained that he has a limited ability to understand the world because of his background and identity as being “white and a male.”

“Now, he offered this as some sort of humility … but notice the mechanism of the claim. The limit isn’t experience or his reading or his choices. The limit is his category. The category of his race and his sex set that is putting the limit and the ceiling on what his mind can reach,” Glenn comments.

“Think about how racist that is. If I said, you know, Talarico, let’s say he was African-American and I said, you know, ‘Well, his imagination is limited because he’s black.’ I mean, that’s clearly racist, right?” he asks.

Another story Glenn cites is Joy Reid discussing the fourth of July.

“She’s not excited about it. What a surprise. She said, ‘Black Americans are not excited about the 4th of July.’ That to black America, Independence Day is Juneteenth,” Glenn explains.

“Most Americans had no idea, most black Americans had no idea what Juneteenth was until recently. But I don’t want to argue this. I want you to look at the shape of the sentence here. She didn’t say, ‘I feel this way.’ She said, ‘Black people are not excited,’” he says.

“So there’s one holiday for one category and another holiday for another category. The nation’s birthday has to be sorted by skin. Hold on to that,” he adds.

And now a church in Virginia, which was a historically mostly white congregation generations ago, hosted a black walking tour — which was a slave trail through Richmond.

The point of the tour was to confront and atone for that history.

“Watch what’s being atoned for and by whom. Not the men who did it, because they’re two centuries dead. The living are doing the penance for an inheritance of guilt — guilt assigned by not anything they did, but by the group they were born into,” Glenn says.

“You cannot create categories over individuals. When the man becomes his race or his disability or whatever over who he is as an individual, there’s trouble on the horizon. The citizen who becomes his demographic before he becomes an American. The believer then inherits guilt by bloodline rather than by his own deeds,” he continues.

“In every single case, the individual has disappeared and the group steps forward to stand in its place,” he adds.

An NFL doctor sees all sorts of injuries in the world’s top athletes, with one physician pointing to a new, scary trend that is taking hold of the sports world.

Experts are now saying that the body cannot take what modern athletes are now routinely putting themselves through, and unfortunately, it’s not slowing down.

‘It can be a big moneymaker.’

The trend is an ever-growing level of exposure to sports, starting at a young age, that has resulted in near-insurmountable recurring body trauma. Dr. Brad Bellard, a team physician for the Denver Broncos, says he and others are constantly trying to adapt to devastating injuries popping up in young athletes.

“I don’t see it changing any time soon. We’re working around it,” Bellard told Blaze News.

The level of consistent competition children are engaging in through youth sports is aging their bodies at a rate never before seen, Bellard revealed.

“Right now in my clinic, I have patients who are 15 years old whose patellar tendon, which is very important in terms of being able to jump, is worn out, probably to the level of [an] NBA veteran,” the physician explained.

Year-round sports and the so-called “youth sports industrial complex” have created an ecosystem that Bellard says is driven by both profit and an inability to tell young athletes when enough is enough.

“Just follow the money. Right?” Bellard explained. “It can be a big moneymaker.”

The doctor continued, “As long as the incentive is to get the people playing as much as they possibly can, it’s gonna be tough. And that’s just me being very real.”

Physicians are focused on educating coaches, parents, and athletes at every turn these days, while encouraging youngsters to play a variety of different sports and utilize different workouts. These efforts are accomplishing only so much, Bellard revealed, which is why so many are now screaming from the rooftops about young ballplayers overworking their muscles, ligaments, and joints.

“That’s the best we got so far,” he revealed.

These problems should be dealt with at the youth level, but as Dr. Bellard explained, there is a whole new set of issues once an athlete does make it to the pro level. Not only are modern athletes more likely to come into the pros with serious knee, shoulder, ankle, or other problems that weren’t nearly as prevalent in the past, there exists the issue of telling a superstar that sheer iron will cannot save him from injury.

Blaze News asked Bellard about legendary former NBA forward Dennis Rodman and how he was able to make a career out of partying every night while not missing a step when it came to game time.

With five NBA championships, Bellard said Rodman is an example of an athlete new pros look at and say he “was able to do this,” so why can’t I?

Despite Rodman’s “suboptimal training techniques,” Bellard said while laughing, his “off-the-court activities” proved he was an exception, not the rule. This is a concept that many players are having a trouble grasping.

For every seemingly cartilage-less player Bellard has seen who can still inexplicably jump into the rafters, there are dozens of examples of athletes who can’t perform through such injuries.

Bellard said he does feel some personal responsibility when he can’t help athletes achieve their goals, but he believes it is his job to keep echoing how they can try to avoid such devastating damage.

“It means something to me to be able to help these athletes achieve their goals, get back to the field of play,” Bellard said candidly. “I’d say it’s somewhat tough whenever they can’t.”

Why can’t America seem to get “created equal” right?

It’s our national creed. It’s our DNA. Yet here we are, heading into America’s 250th year, and “We the People” still does not include all the people.

I was conceived in rape but adopted into a diverse family of 15 with nine other adopted siblings.

I just want to clarify the language to avoid ambiguity. Every human is a person; every person is a human. All of us begin life at fertilization. Every compromise on personhood has always resulted in discrimination, destruction, and death.

Give me liberty

Most of us are familiar with Patrick Henry’s famous 1775 speech, in particular this passage:

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Henry’s words became the rallying cry for what would soon become the American Revolution; yet his fiery eloquence was belied by his own denial of liberty to those he enslaved. This is what a soul compromised looks like.

In a letter responding to a Quaker abolitionist challenging him on his hypocrisy, Henry answered in a pathetic yet painfully honest way:

“Would anyone believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them. I will not — I cannot justify it, however culpable my conduct … I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be afforded to abolish this lamentable evil.”

Choosing evil

Isn’t this exactly where our culture is? We know killing our own children via elective abortion is a lamentable evil, but our society is drawn to the convenience of it all. It cannot be justified. Someone else — the innocent and defenseless unborn child — should pay for the ease of my existence!

The Supreme Court had an opportunity to correct half a century of a supremely wrong decision. The nation’s highest court finally overturned Roe in the historic Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022, declaring there is no constitutional right to abortion.

There were many reasons why I rejoiced over Dobbs. I was conceived in rape but adopted into a diverse family of 15 with nine other adopted siblings. I married an incredibly resilient woman, single mother to a child the biological father had pressured her to abort. Two of my four kids were adopted. My new book and documentary, “Should Have Been Aborted,” detail this journey of a life many say should never have been lived.

Words of humility

Tragically, in a judicial compromise, the court promptly allowed states to decide on who gets to live and who gets to die. Life is not a states’ rights issue any more than slavery, women’s suffrage, or racial discrimination. Imagine a modern-day patchwork of state-by-state laws allowing varying levels of chattel slavery, unequal voting rights by gender, and codified racism. This is what we currently have with abortion.

The Declaration of Independence reminds us that our most fundamental rights are not granted by a morally inconsistent government. The most powerful nation on earth began with these words of humility: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Are we a happier nation after depriving ourselves of 67 million members of our posterity?

Failure to defend

Despite a Republican-led administration and Congress, the failure to defend life continues. After initially defunding Planned Parenthood for 10 years, the GOP caved. The final version of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act only defunded the corrupt abortion wing of the Democratic Party for one measly year, which expires on July 4.

Recently, when asked by a reporter about where his administration stood on extending the defunding of Planned Parenthood, President Trump kind of shrugged it off as a “thorny issue.” (Although Trump has implemented tremendous pro-life policies, his conflicting abortion rhetoric is antithetical to a pro-life worldview.) There is no current federal bill even being considered that bans abortion.

Comprise kills the justice millions deserve.

The GOP used to be led by a faction called “Radical Republicans,” who fought uncompromisingly for the erasure of the evil institution of slavery. Today, they’re led by “Rickety Republicans,” who often fail to put up a fight against Planned Parenthood and the evil institution of baby killing.

If conviction doesn’t drive you, compromise inevitably will. America’s children deserve better.

A 23-year-old suspect allegedly left tire marks on his elderly victim’s head after running her over in front of her husband during a purse-snatching incident.

Prosecutors say that Ali Hcaimi had a pattern of targeting elderly people for robberies but was caught after the lethal incident on Saturday at about 2:45 p.m. in the city of Glendale.

‘He ran her over from head to toe. There were tire marks on her head.’

Hcaimi approached the couple near their home on 59th Avenue and interacted with the woman before grabbing her purse. She struggled with him before he drove over the victim in his vehicle.

She was transported to a hospital, where she later died.

“He ran over the elderly female victim in front of her husband, who had to witness this event,” said a prosecutor in court. “He ran her over from head to toe. There were tire marks on her head.”

Prosecutors said Hcaimi had robbed another elderly woman just five days previously.

They said the man followed a woman home from the bank and stole $5,000 she had withdrawn. He ran off with the money in her purse, which also had her medications. The purse and the medications were later found discarded.

“He had an MO here where he was preying upon elderly victims who really cannot defend themselves adequately against him,” said a prosecutor.

The suspect initially spoke in English when he appeared at the Maricopa County Superior Court before requesting an Arabic interpreter.

Through the interpreter, he claimed he had a mental or psychological issue that would be aggravated if he were ordered to detention in a closed place or room.

“Perhaps maybe the best option is to put me, uh, if possible, to be held in custody somehow at home, my mother’s home or something,” he said through the interpreter. “I can be put on a leg on my belt on my feet or something, and I can promise that I won’t leave home at all.”

The judge denied the request and gave Hcaimi a $1.25 million cash-only bond along with other release restrictions.

RELATED: Man lethally stabbed elderly victim in the neck targeted him because he was a pedophile: cops

He faces a felony first-degree murder charge as well as felony robbery for one case and another felony robbery charge for the second case.

Hcaimi was described by the media as an “Arizona man” despite suspicion that he might be a migrant due to his interpreter request.

A neighbor said that the couple had just moved to Florida and were back at the home to pick up some of their belongings. He added that hazmat workers had to clean up the streaks of blood in the street left in the attack.

On a recent episode of the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast hosted by former Canadian journalists Travis Dhanraj and Karman Wong, longtime conservative commentator Tucker Carlson dropped a major announcement: He’s withdrawing his support for the GOP.

“There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he stated bluntly, citing his frustration with what he believes is the party putting a foreign country’s interests above America’s.

“I’m out, and if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out,” he added.

When he heard Carlson’s announcement, Glenn Beck issued a warning to both Washington Republicans and conservative voters.

Addressing Republican politicians, Glenn scolds, “I told you this would happen. For years, I have said this. I said the day would come when your own people would stop defending you, when their loyalty would run out, when ‘the other side is worse’ doesn’t work anymore.”

Widespread disaffection “is here,” he warns.

MAGA, Glenn argues, isn’t just about Trump. It’s about commonsense policies and national strength.

“[Trump] was just the first major candidate that said, ‘You know, we’re not done as a nation, and I’m not going to manage the decline.’ That’s what people want,” he exclaims. “A healthy and commonsense-driven country that doesn’t destroy their faith and their family and their freedoms.”

Glenn then turns his focus to conservative voters.

“When somebody like Tucker walks, when the next one walks (and there will be a next one), people are going to come and say, ‘Circle the wagons. You’ve got to defend the party.’ No … don’t rush to defend the GOP,” he entreats.

“Every time you defend them for free, they teach you that betrayal is survivable, that they can ignore you and keep you,” he continues. “The only language a comfortable incumbent understands is the sound of the door closing behind a voter who’s done.”

This doesn’t mean we stop fighting the “authoritarian and crazy left.” We just have to “find the Republicans or whatever that stand for something,” he pleads.

Glenn pivots to Washington again: “You’re not going to survive this. And I don’t mean a tough cycle coming your way. I mean, you are building with your own hands a movement aimed directly at you, and you deserve it.”

No amount of spending or messaging will slow or divert the train that’s coming, he warns.

There is only one good way to stop the GOP exodus, says Glenn: “Simply remove the reason it exists.”

“And the only way to do that is to start listening to the people who sent you there and then actually do the thing they sent you to do. That’s it. That’s the secret in the sauce.”

The National Republican Congressional Committee mocked the establishment wing of the Democratic Party after the far-left socialist victories in New York City elections.

Three socialist candidates backed by Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani crushed their centrist opposition and tipped the scales in the party toward more extremism.

‘How can he defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts?’

The NRCC sent flowers and a card expressing condolences to the Washington, D.C., office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

“Three losses in one night is tough. We wanted so-called ‘Leader’ Jeffries to know our thoughts are with him, his candidates, and whatever remains of his influence in the Democrat Party,” said NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella in a statement to Fox News.

The card read “With heartfelt sympathy,” according to a photo posted by Bill Melugin of Fox.

Jeffries’ Republican counterpart, Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, reiterated how bad the losses were in a media briefing where he pointed out that many Democrat voters booed Jeffries and chanted that he was next.

“These are socialists. These are Marxists in their ideology,” said Johnson.

“Hakeem Jeffries has a tall task ahead of him right now, he’s gotta go out and somehow make a credible pitch to Democrat establishment donors that that’s a good national investment right now, that’s a tough one to make,” he added.

“He has just proven that he cannot even hold the line in his own back yard,” Johnson said. “How can he possibly defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts? This is not your father’s Democratic Party, as we see all the time.”

“The Democrat Party — the socialists, the Marxists — have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office, and they’re running for Congress. The insurgent left is on the rise.”

Others, like Hunter Biden, say the results of the elections show that Democrats need to veer to the far left and be far more socialist and far more extremist.

“The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led,” Biden said.

President Donald Trump, on the other hand, replied: “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a communist Country!”

Memphis Police on Tuesday afternoon responded to the 6600 block of West Quailbrook Cove at the GreenBrook Apartments after a break-in and shooting, WHBQ-TV reported.

The homeowner told police he arrived at his residence just before 3:15 p.m. and saw a masked man trying to take his television from a wall, the station added.

‘This is the direct result of what happens when the system to protect people fails completely. People take care of themselves. We’ve entered this phase.’

Police said the homeowner indicated the suspect then turned around toward him and reached into a bag, WHBQ added.

The homeowner told officers that with that, he pulled out a gun and shot the suspect twice, the station said.

In addition, the homeowner said the suspect ran from the apartment and headed west toward GreenBrook Bend, WHBQ reported.

The homeowner added to police that he fired two more shots as the suspect ran away, the station said, adding that the homeowner said the suspect fell, dropped the bag, got back up, and continued running off.

WHBQ said that when officers tried to make contact with the suspect, police said he fled on foot in the apartment complex.

RELATED: Intruder allegedly breaks into Florida home, threatens mother and her children, refuses to leave — but victim has her gun

Police told the station that officers conducted an extensive search and found a man injured in the 6400 block of Macon Road.

WHBQ added that the injured male was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

What’s more, the station said police released to the homeowner’s wife a white PlayStation 5, pink and white Jordan 1 sneakers, black and pink Jordan 1 sneakers, all-black Nike Air Max 97 sneakers, white Air Force sneakers, a black Roku controller, and a purple PlayStation controller.

WHBQ reported that the homeowner’s wife said all items belonged to the couple.

Individuals commenting underneath the station’s Facebook post about the incident seemed squarely behind the homeowner who fought back:

“Awesome job, homeowner,” one commenter wrote. “Don’t commit burglary; won’t get shot.””Good!” another user exclaimed. “More people need to fight back and make Memphis great again!””U got shot for a PS5 and some shoes,” another commenter lamented.”The thief got straight to FO part of FAFO,” another user quipped.”315 in the afternoon. That is hella bold,” another commenter observed.”This is the direct result of what happens when the system to protect people fails completely,” another user stated. “People take care of themselves. We’ve entered this phase.”

Democrats are grasping at straws after the president gave Congress an ultimatum on the housing affordability bill passed overwhelmingly on Tuesday.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is intended to increase access to financing and grants in order to provide more housing units in hopes of lowering housing costs.

‘He probably spent hours laughing to himself thinking that peddling this lie would be funny.’

Just hours before President Donald Trump was scheduled to sign the bill into law, he canceled the event and told Congress he would hold the bill hostage until lawmakers passed the SAVE Act.

“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president wrote on social media.

Republicans have been pushing the SAVE Act to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, but Democrats have vehemently opposed the legislation on the basis that it might disenfranchise some legal voters.

The development appeared to catch everyone off guard as they scrambled to respond, but Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu of California stole the top prize for most bizarre reply.

“We have a bipartisan housing bill that both the Congress and Senate passed. There was supposed to be a big signing ceremony today in the Capitol, and then all of a sudden Donald Trump decides he’s not coming to sign the bill,” said Lieu to reporters at a media briefing.

“Well, why is that? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Is he unable to stay awake today? What’s causing him to chicken out again? Is it taco Wednesday? Or is it side effects from a drug? We don’t know,” he continued.

“This erratic behavior of the president is very concerning. He’s having trouble staying awake at many White House events and Cabinet meetings. He has clearly some weakness in one of his arms. He’s got swelling in his hands, and the White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said.

He cited a report that a high-profile 79-year-old person in the U.S. was able to obtain a special drug under the compassionate use provision usually reserved for terminal cases.

“We need to know: Did Donald Trump get this special drug from Eli Lilly?” he added. “And if he did, why is that the case?”

Assistant to the president and White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung fired off an insulting response to Lieu.

“Ted Lewd is a dumbass,” he wrote on social media. “He probably spent hours laughing to himself thinking that peddling this lie would be funny. Sadly for Ted, there’s no special new drug to cure being a b***h.”

RELATED: WH hammers Jen Psaki over comments about JD Vance’s wife: ‘Circle back on that, moron’

Lieu fired back at Cheung on social media, where he thanked him for “amplifying” the Democrat’s remarks.

“I see you didn’t answer the question I asked,” said Lieu. “Was trump [sic] the mystery patient who received the special experimental drug by Eli Lilly under the law designed for people with terminal illnesses?”

The White House has denied the allegation that the president received the weight-loss drug under the special accommodation.

The fate of the housing bill remains uncertain.
