Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. After the last of the old Senate Democrat Klansmen rode off into the sunset, it’s the turn of the longest serving former official of a racist hate group to throw his own retirement party.Rep. Bobby Rush, the former Deputy Minister of Defense for the Black Panthers, announced that he’s joining his fellow Democrats fleeing the sinking ship ahead of the midterms, not for political reasons mind you, but in order to spend more time with his...

Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) said Monday he will not seek reelection after 15 terms in Congress. Rush told the Chicago Sun-Times he made the decision in the past several weeks and that it was a result of a conversation he had with his grandson. “I don’t want my grandchildren . . . to know me from a television news clip or something they read in a newspaper,” Rush told the Sun-Times. “I want them to know me on an intimate level, know something about me and I want to know something about them. I don’t want to be a historical...

Black gun owners plan to march in Oklahoma Saturday to advocate for gun ownership and in honor of the Tulsa Race Massacre. As VICE News reported, hundreds of members from Huey P. Newton Gun Club, Anubis Arms Gun Club, and the Panther Special Operations Command as well other organizations from across the country are expected to participate in the protest.

Legal experts are picking up “signals” that the Trump team is bracing for subpoenas or indictments in the New York City and Georgia investigations into the former president. Washington, D.C.-based public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, who prompted the election interference investigation in Georgia, said the case is heating up. He noted that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is struggling for documents from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who is said to be “lawyering up.” Meanwhile, Willis has hired a special prosecutor who had a role in the Whitewater case against former President Bill Clinton. Banzhaf also noted that...

A group of about 10 Milwaukee Black Panthers intimidated an Asian nail salon’s employees during an aggressive confrontation captured on video, and now the Milwaukee small business has closed for good. You can watch two videos of the intimidation tactics later in this article. They accused an employee of disrespecting Black Lives Matter and a black woman.

"You do not disrespect black women from our community…. You do not disrespect Black Lives Matter…. You ever disrespect a black woman again, we're going to shut you down."With these and other words, a group of 10 Milwaukee Black Panthers invaded an Asian-owned nail salon and threatened it.Later, they returned, and police arrived. Instead of protecting the Asian owner, a female officer spoke cordially with the Panthers, addressing their leader as "General" and left the store saying, "All right, I'm sure that he got your message, sir, thank you so much. We really appreciate you coming down. Thank you though."All...

Black Panthers members were filmed in a Chinese shop in Milwaukee harassing and threatening the Asian workers, demanding they not to make fun of Black Lives Matter or black women.

<p>America’s recent race wars have brought the dead to life. In Ava DuVernay’s Selma, Martin Luther King once again bestrode Alabama streets, sparking a campaign for racial equality that’s never really ended. In Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, the spectre of the Ku Klux Klan re-emerged in 1970s Colorado. And now comes Judas & the Black Messiah, which unearths one of the key figures of the Black Panther era.</p>

They call her Assata Shakur but, no matter the name by which she’s known, Chesimard is a homegrown – and unrepentant -- American terrorist. JoAnne Chesimard: BLM unashamedly embraces her and, recently, the New York City school system decided to incorporate her so-called wisdom into its curriculum. Therefore, it is more imperative than ever to shine a bright light upon the life, times, and accomplishments of one JoAnne Deborah Chesimard, a.k.a., Assata Olugbala Shakur. If you are, like me, of a certain age and grew up or lived in New Jersey during the 1970s and 1980’s, the name JoAnne Chesimard...

Super Bowl 55 kicked off Sunday with recording artist Alicia Keys singing the so-called black national anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” along with a poem. Hitmaker Alicia Keys was tasked with a virtual performance of the 121-year-old spiritual song that has come to be known alternately as the “black national anthem” after being introduced in 1899 for Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. The poem read in 1899 was set to music in 1900.

Colin Kaepernick won’t be playing in Super Bowl LV, but the quarterback-turned-activist found another way to draw attention ahead of the big game. Ben & Jerry’s unveiled last week a billboard and a mural featuring the NFL free agent in Old West Tampa, Florida, not far from Raymond James Stadium, where Super Bowl LV will be played Sunday evening. The signage represents a not-so-subtle jab at the NFL from Kaepernick, who has not played since he opted out of the final year of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2017 following a season in which he gained...

As the nation celebrates the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Russell invoked the civil rights icon Monday in a plea for action in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The NBA legend tweeted a message quoting King in a call for accountability for President Trump for his role in inciting his supporters to march on the Capitol before they ransacked the building in an assault that claimed five lives. Russell framed his message as a matter of “good vs. evil” and quoted a passage from a sermon King delivered in New York...

Shocking statements by Biden pick to lead DOJ Civil Rights Division (Kristen Clarke)

January 7, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Joe Biden labeled Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists” in a tweet this afternoon. What we witnessed yesterday was not dissent — it was disorder. They weren’t protestors — they were rioters, insurrectionists, and domestic terrorists,” Biden wrote.

The Civil War (1861-1865) was nothing less than a revolutionary reorganization of American government, society, and economics. It claimed almost as many lives as every other U.S. conflict combined and, by war's bloody logic, forged the nation which the Founding Fathers could not by settling once and for all lingering national questions about state sovereignty and slavery. The postwar period, however, was one of arguably greater turmoil than the war itself. This is because many men in the South did not, in fact, lay down their arms at the end of the War. What’s more, freedmen, former slaves that were...

Since his debut as a leading athlete protester, Colin Kaepernick has slammed the U.S. over slavery, even though it was eliminated more than 150 years ago. Yet, Kaepernick has remained utterly silent as his financial backer, Nike, employs slave labor in China to make its products. This month, news broke that giant multinational corporations including Nike have been workinf in congress against the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, a bill that seeks to put an end to the slave labor camps China employs to manufacture many of the products sold by big corporations in the west. Nike, along with Apple,...

You don’t parole a child molester to an in-home daycare. You don’t parole an addict to a drug house. And you don’t parole a cop killer to the home of a Black Lives Matter activist. Even if it is in a toney suburb in a quarter-million-dollar house. But that is exactly what the state of New York has done with Black Panther Anthony Bottom, who ambushed and executed two New York City police officers in 1971. Turned loose when nobody was looking, the Black Liberation Army soldier was paroled to Rochester, without any notice to either the public or any...

Convicted double cop killer Anthony Bottom is being paroled in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) New York. WCBS 880 reports that Bottom and two other members of the Black Liberation Army ambushed NYPD Officers Joe Piagentini and Waverly Jones by using a fake 911 call to get them to come “to a Harlem housing complex,” where they were shot dead. Jones was killed with a single shot to the back of the head while Piagentini was shot 22 times, begging for his life during the attack. Piagentini’s widow, Dianne Piagentini, said that when she learned of Bottoms’ parole it hit her “like a punch...

...Rush just co-signed a letter demanding that law enforcement stop surveillance of BLM protests, he's been going around whining that the cops are worse today than they were in 1968, and then he whines that his office was burglarized and the cops were eating his popcorn. "Rush said his office was burglarized amid looting in the early morning hours of June 1 in a plaza at 5401 S. Wentworth Ave. Video showed officers relaxing in Rush’s office, including three supervisors and 10 other officers." When you can't trust your fellow racial supremacists not to rob you, and need the cops...
