Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has “Clarence Thomas Syndrome” and used a racist dog whistle during his 2024 Republican presidential bid announcement.” Goldberg said, “If you are going to have talk about personal responsibility. I mean, you know, all they do is talk about a victim. ‘I won the election, I won, I won, I won.’ Come on now, this may have been a bit much, this year, you know?”

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) saying she felt threatened by Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is a racist “dog whistle.” At a congressional press conference, Greene said, “What’s on video is Jamaal Bowman shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling me a white supremacist, which I take great offense to. That’s like calling a person of color the n-word, which should never happen. Calling me a white supremacist is equal to that. That’s wrong. She added, “I think there’s a lot of concern about Jamaal...

Chick-fil-A scrambled to explain itself after a reply to a customer with the phrase “your community” sparked allegations of racism. The social media backlash began last Friday after one user tweeted the message “grilled spicy deluxe but still noooo spicy nuggets” to the fast-food giant’s official account.

President Joe Biden announced his belief Thursday that former President Donald Trump’s movement to Make America Great Again is basically fascism. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something — it’s like semi-fascism,” Biden said, criticizing the “extreme MAGA philosophy” driving the Republican Party.

One of the common complaints that you often hear from people on the dissident Right is that “the right wing has no organisation!” To a great extent this is true, at least on a local and demotic level. The organisation that does - at least overtly - seem to exist is found at the establishment, official, and federal level, yet rarely “organises” anything meaningful for the genuine Right. So this organisation, for the average Joe trying to simply live his life without constant harassment from the woke Left, is ephemeral and has little positive impact on his situation. There’s a...

Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe (D) is experiencing a wave of mockery on social media over a viral photo showing five individuals claiming to be supporters of his Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin, holding tiki torches outside of a campaign bus — an obvious nod to Charlottesville and white supremacy — as many surmise it is nothing more than a stunt by the Democrat’s supporters days before Election Day.

“I don’t know if the world has ever seen anything like this. A bunch of people who live lives of freedom and relative luxury choosing to destroy their country because they’ve convinced themselves that they are the victims of a completely imaginary oppression.” -Matt Walsh on Imaginary Oppression I think this quote by Matt Walsh on imaginary oppression, like the Matt Walsh quote on leftism, is spot on. The Americans that are protesting and rioting right now aren’t protesting anything real. No oppressive force is ruining their lives, whether they’re white or black. They live lives of luxury, freedom, and...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted her Republican counterpart, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, for calling for Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell to be removed from the Intelligence Committee in the wake of reporting that he had a years-long friendship with an alleged Chinese spy.

Post echoed rhetoric of anti-Israel terrorist groups Rep. Rashida Tlaib scrubbed a tweet on Monday that included an anti-Semitic phrase often used by terrorist groups that seek the destruction of Israel. Screenshots show that Tlaib retweeted a Saturday post that included a graphic promoting Palestinian solidarity and the phrase "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free." The Palestinian Liberation Organization, Hamas, and Hezbollah regularly use the phrase as a rallying cry against the Jewish state. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah used the phrase in remarks in which he also called Israel a "cancerous growth" that needed to be...

A woman brandishing a knife on a Pleasantville street was taken into custody Sunday, after officers were able to disarm her using pepper-spray and a tackle. Officers were called to Main Street and Pleasant Avenue at 1:51 p.m. Sunday for the report of a woman brandishing a knife at people in the area, Capt. Matt Hartman said. Multiple officers confronted the woman, who was known to police from previous encounters due to apparent mental issues. She was armed with a steak knife and standing in the middle of the road. Body camera footage of the incident shows the woman yelling...

You may be hearing a lot from President Obama these next couple of weeks because he's promoting his new book, "A Promised Land." In an interview with The Breakfast Club, the hosts asked Obama to share some thoughts on the 2020 presidential election. One thing that really irked 44, he shared, was that so many Hispanics voted for the president. Trump improved his margins in 78 of the nation’s 100 majority-Hispanic counties. "People were surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump, but there's a lot of evangelical Hispanics, who, the fact that Trump says racist things...

The latest highly anticipated entry in the “Call of Duty” video game franchise seems to center around a rather anti-communist narrative - and it’s got modern American “Reds” running scared. **SNIP** After all, countless works of Cold War spy fiction are based secret plots, conspiracies and intrigue-laden moments in our history. For Kotaku, however, silly spy plots and harmless fun this was not. Instead, it was an effort to prop up supposed right-wing theories that the civil rights movement was actually a secret Soviet plot to overthrow the United States government with communist uprisings. According to the outlet: “Bezmenov’s suggestion...

Benjamin Ryan Teeter was at his home in Hampstead, N.C., when the call to action came. It was an alert from the heart of the raging protests in Minneapolis, posted on an online forum by a fellow member of the Boogaloo movement, a loosely knit group of heavily armed, anti-government extremists. The "alert" was from a man who had a run-in with the Minneapolis police while on the frontline of the police-brutality protests set off by the death of George Floyd. "He caught mace to the face," said Teeter, and "put out a national notice to our network." After Teeter...

Michelle Obama has spoken out against the killing of George Floyd, saying she is 'exhausted' by the racist attacks on black people in America, while calling on everyone to do their part in 'rooting it out.' The former first lady shared an Instagram post on Friday saying she was 'pained' by the recent string of tragedies in the black community and the 'heartbreak that never seems to stop.' 'Right now it's George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric [Garner] Sandra [Bland] and Michael [Brown]. It just goes on, and on, and on,' she said. 'Race and racism is...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday blasted President Trump’s push for a citizenship question on the 2020 census as an effort to “Make America White Again” — claiming, “it’s not what our founders had in mind.”“They want to make sure that people, certain people, are counted,” Pelosi said at a press conference in San Francisco that focused on election security.“Just their people vote and not the general population,” said the Democratic lawmaker. “That’s why they’re fighting the census.”White House officials did not immediately return requests for comment from The Post on the statements.Pelosi, who was visiting her home district Monday, repeatedly called the idea...

I’ve said this before and I’ll keep saying it until someone at the Justice Department or Secret Service gets off their ass and starts holding Democrats responsible for their thinly veiled attempts to incite violence against POTUS Donald Trump. Over the weekend, ‘little’ Dick Durbin of Illinois became the latest Democrat to dog-whistle to violent Leftists that it’s alright if they want to take their anger out on the president and hurt him at some point in the future because he is a ‘domestic terrorist.’ Or someone who incites domestic terrorism. Or something. During an appearance on CNN — where...

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday added his former White House aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman, to the growing list of African-Americans he has publicly denigrated on Twitter, calling her “that dog” and a “crazed, crying lowlife” in the wake of her allegations against him of mental deterioration and racism. Even for a president who consistently takes to Twitter to assail his adversaries, the morning tweet about Ms. Manigault Newman was a remarkably crude use of the presidential bully pulpit to disparage a minority woman who once served at the highest levels in his White House. The tweet reprised Mr. Trump’s...

In his fateful interview with Robert Kuttner of The American Prospect, Steve Bannon’s remarks about taking a tougher stand on trade with China, battling his enemies within the administration, and the futility of military action against North Korea generated the most headlines. But it was a widely overlooked comment about identity politics that offers the most important insight into the brilliant and cynical political mind of President Donald Trump’s now-departed counsellor and former campaign CEO. ‘The Democrats, the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ‘em,’ Bannon gloated to Kuttner. ‘I want them to talk about racism every day....

Tucker Carlson became so baffled by former DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse during a Monday interview he stopped the guest with one short question. “What the hell are you talking about?” Tucker asked. Woodhouse, former president of a Democratic super PAC, was discussing President Donald Trump’s speech in Poland and the media backlash it received. He compared the president’s usage of the phrase “Christian values” to a “dog whistle to white nationalists,” which prompted Carlson’s strong reaction. “Let’s stop with the propaganda … let’s just deal with the text of the speech,” Carlson said. “If you’re a leader of western...

Sometimes the “tale” does wag the dog.I guess the  “Donald J. Trump Jr. met with Russians!” story isn’t strong enough to propel journOlists  through the end of the week in their looking glass world. Hence we continue to see an onslaught of articles critical of President Donald J. Trump’s “nationalist” (read “white-nationalist”) speech in Warsaw. I leave Mark Steyn to comment: Apologies to all my readers: Last week I carelessly wrote about President Trump's Warsaw speech as if the words therein corresponded to the definitions ascribed to them by Oxford, Webster's or any other English dictionary. My mistake. Apparently the...
