On Friday’s New Day, CNN guest host Erica Hill brought on the President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives Lynda Williams to spout woke nonsense. Hill egged Williams on with anti-American ranting about “the reality that deep-seated racism has infected the United States of America for hundreds of years and has been allowed to fester and grow.” Williams responded by making her own radical claims, such as, “systemic racism is just as American as apple pie.” Hill began the segment by applauding Williams for attacking Attorney General William Barr, during a recent meeting, for his rejection of...

Democrats in Congress on Thursday blocked a temporary extension of a special federal unemployment benefit that is expiring this week. It was because the GOP wouldn't meet their demands on a plan to spend a massive $3 trillion on various programs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As then-Vice President Joe Biden left the West Wing each evening to head home, he often popped his head into national security adviser Susan Rice’s nearby suite of offices to check in — sometimes on pressing foreign policy matters, sometimes just to shoot the breeze. “My favorite unannounced visitor was Vice President Joe Biden,” Rice wrote in her book “Tough Love.” In those casual visits, as well as in daily national security briefings, Biden and Rice forged an easy working relationship, according to people who worked alongside them during their eight years in the Obama administration. It’s...

The premeditated attack by violent leftists on Sunday that shut down a pro-police rally in Denver, injuring several of the speakers, is not being forgotten. Yesterday, Michelle Malkin, the best known invited speaker who was roughed up and had to run for her life to safety, filed a formal Colorado Open Records Act Request addressed to the Denver Police Department. It asked for the following: All communications (electronic, written, faxed, text messages, or otherwise) regarding the 7/19/20 permitted Law Enforcement Appreciation Day celebration and the unpermitted counter-protest at the State Capitol; All Operations Plans and Official Action reports regarding the...

Not surprising. I sure hope they includes Jones' belief in ancient African technology. If the meager leavings of Colin Kaepernick's mediocre existence as a media personality can lead to biographical projects at Disney and Netflix, the 1619 Project's revisionist history is much more fertile ground for an industry that has already been barraging us with black nationalist revisionist history. And who better than Oprah, the queen of the cult of self-help, to cash in on this.

“When you put somebody’s name in print in a book, you want to make sure the facts around it are correct, especially if they are not living because it’s not like Joe is here and he would have known how to deal with this.” President Donald Trump’s estranged niece Mary claimed he paid his old friend Joe Shapiro to take his SAT test. Pam Shriver, a former tennis pro and Shapiro’s widow, hit back at Mary’s accusations. The widow of the man who Mary Trump alleges took the SAT test for @realDonaldTrump says her husband didn't meet Donald Trump until...

If you read The New York Times, or other liberal publications, and their coverage of President Trump’s of his speech at Mount Rushmore, you’d think a proto-Nazi rally was held. It was “dark and divisive.” It was filled by phantom claims, like left-wing mobs running amok and their campaign to erase our history. It was racist. It was a ‘woke’ review of the speech, which mean it was total garbage. Trump celebrated America, which makes this a rally for white supremacy. This is where we are right now with the Left. They’re violent, unhinged, historically illiterate, and anti-American. It was...

“Independent fact checkers” can easily be mistaken for Democrats who don’t want you to remember Democrat History. USA Today threw a “False” flag at this Facebook meme, causing it to be fairly unreadable to people scrolling past it: In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations [sic] history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing. THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT USA Today’s Rachael Riley admitted that southern Democrats filibustered – for 60 days, not 75. But not all Democrats filibustered.....so it was “Partly False.” A June 20, 1964,...

Call it “omission journalism.” On June 14th, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran this headline: "More than 1 million sign petition to designate KKK as terrorist group." The AJC story said, in part, this: “More than 1 million people have signed an online petition calling for the government to designate the Ku Klux Klan as a terrorist organization. The “Change KKK status into Terrorist Organization” campaign is one of at least three petitions that have gone viral on the change.org website since George Floyd’s death, according to Newsweek." The heading of the next section of the story reads: “A history of terror”...

If you type "#HoustonLynching" in Twitter's search engine, hundreds and hundreds of tweets appear. Thousands more appear under the hashtags "#Lynchings" and "#Lynched." Social media activists supporting the Black Lives Matter movement have spread a terrifying story: Evil racists are hanging black men from trees across the country. In the wake of the George Floyd incident in Minnesota and three weeks of riots, America is in the grips of a purported epidemic of white supremacist violence that harkens back to the Jim Crow era with noose-wielding Klansman lurking on every corner. Except that it's all a big fat lie. Left-wing...

TEL AVIV – The United States, its police and President Donald Trump are all depicted as Nazis or Ku Klux Klan members in a new art exhibition in Tehran called “I Can’t Breathe.” The exhibition also features artworks condemning Israel. While Iran’s state-run media has been actively backing the George Floyd protests sweeping America, Tehran suppresses dissent of any kind at home, and routinely tortures and kills protesters. As recently as November, Iran quashed nationwide civil rallies calling for the ouster of the Islamic Republic’s leadership by arresting thousands of people and killing hundreds.

Violence being committed amid nationwide unrest has not been perpetrated by “white supremacists,” according to a new analysis. In an assessment of the protests, which have at times turned into all-out riots, the Department of Homeland Security dumped cold water on a narrative that groups of white supremacists have been engaging in widespread disturbances, Reuters reported. After viewing some of the department findings, the outlet reported that “opportunists,” including those affiliated with the far-left group antifa, are “contributing to the violence.” “There was no evidence, however, that white supremacists were causing violence at any of the protests, the document said.”...

There are two key factors contributing to the exaggerated response of some of our citizens following the killing of black Minnesota resident George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis on May 25. By this, I am referring to the widespread riots in cities across America that followed Floyd's tragic death. During the administration of Barack Obama, 40 years of progress in the area of civil rights were essentially expunged from the public record. The notion that America remained an institutionally racist nation was dedicatedly advanced by the Obama White House, its surrogates, the press and the entertainment industry....

A Department of Defense adviser resigned, effective immediately, from the military's science board citing what he believed to be a violation of conduct from Defense Secretary Mark Esper. In his resignation letter, James Miller Jr., the former under secretary of defense for policy from 2012 to 2014, recalled that he swore an oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States ... and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same," similar to what the defense secretary had done before he took office. "On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath,"...

It was yet another night of rioting and looting. Granted, in some areas, the chaos was not nearly as bad as the previous night. Fox News’ Kevin Corke reported that while last night’s law enforcement response was not perfect, it wasn’t nearly as anarchic. That’s probably because every law enforcement agency and their mother were out to ensure the curfew was enforced. For Democrats out there struggling to figure out how to control their cities, a big police presence pretty much ensures law and order is re-established. Just saying. Yet, as the rioting intensified over the past couple of days,...

Just as race riots lay waste to Minneapolis and cities well beyond, out comes the baleful presence of Barack Obama, to hector the nation that elected him that it's full of racism. Here's his blame-America-first statement, via NPR:(see below)

It was a bit difficult for me to justify expounding upon the topic that follows. It just seemed a little too much like low-hanging fruit. I mean, former Vice President Joe Biden commits a ghastly and insulting gaffe with racist overtones on a radio show? In truth, the only newsworthiness in that is the fact that he's the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, since we're all quite accustomed to Biden being rhetorically clumsy and perennially stupid. Yes, Biden's comment evidenced his opinion (and that of most dedicated liberals and elected Democrats) that Democrats' so-called support of blacks ought to ensure reciprocity...

Whenever I write about voter fraud, I feel obliged to inject some nuance and caveats, which typically boil down to this: The Right tends to exaggerate the prevalence of the problem, while the Left tends to dismiss and downplay it entirely. The truth is that while there is no evidence of widespread and systemic abuses, fraud does occur, and common-sense steps to ensure the integrity of the ballot and electoral process should not be reflexively assailed as racist or forms of (heavily debunked) "suppression." Indeed, measures like voter ID requirements are broadly popular among the electorate, despite frequent demonization. Democrats...

Democrats continue to insist that vote fraud is a Republican conspiracy theory, but it was a former Democratic judge of elections in Philadelphia who pleaded guilty Thursday to accepting $2,500 in bribes to inflate the vote totals for three Democratic candidates. Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for the candidates for Common Pleas Court in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 primary elections, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Announcing the guilty plea Thursday, U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain said DeMuro also is accused of violating the...

Former President Barack Obama gave a video commencement address to graduating high school students on Saturday in which he told them that they had “had to deal with the added pressures of social media, reports of school shootings, and the specter of climate change.” “Now graduating is a big achievement under any circumstances,” Obama said in his address. “Some of you have had to overcome serious obstacles along the way, whether it was an illness, or a parent losing a job, or living in a neighborhood where people too often count you out,” he said. “Along with the usual challenges...
