Late Show host Stephen Colbert described President Donald Trump’s jokes about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as a “racist tirade” amid the ongoing drama over her supposed American Indian ancestry. On Tuesday, Warren released test results indicating that she had a maximum of 1.6 percent “Mesoamerican” heritage, which is far below the minimum requirement to claim membership of most Native American tribes. “After years of mocking Elizabeth Warren, clearly the President must have had a lot to say about these test results,” Colbert said, before playing a clip of Trump saying he did not care about the test results. “You care!...

Juan Williams blasted President Trump's Oval Office meeting with musician Kanye West and former Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown. Williams said Trump used West, 41, as a "prop" to impress a following said to be largely white. "This is Trump speaking to his white backers saying 'I'm not racist'," Williams said. "He's Kanye West, so all these things about [Trump] calling people 'dogs' and saying people 'coming from s**thole countries' [can be overlooked]." Williams said the Oval Office should be "treated with respect," appearing to nod to the fact that West used an expletive while praising Trump.

"Kanye West is what happens when negros don't read" "Black folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft" "He's an attention whore" "He's a token negro" "He clearly has issues" "He's already been hospitalized" Don Lemon can't stop laughing. This is all because Kanye West is a Trump supporter.

Apparently triggered by the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democrat Socialist running for the House of Representatives, demanded an end to the Electoral College, and in so doing, also exhibited her complete ignorance about our history and form of governance. “It is well past time we eliminate the Electoral College, a shadow of slavery’s power on America today that undermines our nation as a democratic republic,” she said in response to another tweet lamenting the fact that four Supreme Court justices have been appointed by two Republican presidents.

A banner appeared at the bottom of Fox News stating hundreds of White Nationalists marched through the UVA campus chanting racists slogans. Is this true? My gut feeling is there were not more than 30-40 white nationalists at the initial rally. I base this opinion by some videos I saw of the leaders of the white nationalists meeting with their followers. The rest, IMHO, were drawn into the rally as historic monument preservationalists, etc. Also, the rally was organized by an Obama supporter, and it is still unclear to me who financed the Tiki torches, and the freshly creased Nazi...

Death, taxes, and LeBron James talking politics. It seems that has become the new list of guaranteed things in life in today's day and age. Since the inception of the Trump presidency, we have often heard the NBA superstar share his political opinion. It usually goes something like 'I disagree with this Trump policy. I don't like him. He's a racist.' There is no logic to what the Los Angeles Lakers' forward says, but that's on him. Mr. James seems perfectly content with using the logically-flawed argument of 'white guys who disagree with me are racist.' But no, Mr. James,...

James, who hosts the show that vows to have “spirited, free-flowing discussions,” attended St. Vincent-St. Mary Catholic School in Akron, Ohio, as a basketball prodigy. He said upon entering school, he didn’t have any desire to talk to any of his white classmates, as he was there to play basketball. “When I first went to the ninth grade in high school, I was on some ‘I’m not -–---- with white people,’ ” James said. “I was so institutionalized growing up in the ‘hood, it was like, ‘They don’t -–- with us, they don’t want us to succeed.’” “So I’m like,...

Barack Obama warned supporters that politicians had “monkeyed around” with elections, during a campaign speech at Kent State University in New Philadelphia, Ohio, on September 3, 2008. Then-Senator Obama (D-IL) said (0:29 in the video below): “I come from Chicago. It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have, too. You know, whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to tilt things in their direction.” Obama called for establishing a “voting rights division” within the Department of Justice (DOJ) to combat “voter fraud” and what he...

Roland S. Martin speaks for all blacks in "These African American Pastors Who Sucked Up to Donald Trump Are a Disgrace" in the Daily Beast, August 27, 2018. Martin is irritated because after a large group of big city black pastors from around the nation attended a private meeting with President Trump on the issue of prison reform, too many of these religious men said inappropriate things about Donald Trump. "Black people cannot stand Donald Trump." Martin asserts. Okay -- God speaks to Roland and Roland speaks for black people, we get it. When Martin has time between power lunches...

As I watch John McCain’s presidential campaign degenerate into a dark, disgraceful display of veiled racism unworthy of the hero who suffered in Vietnam, I’m reminded of the late J.J. “Jake” Pickle, the venerable congressman who represented Central Texas from 1963 to 1995, and a story he once told me about the toughest vote of his career.

Every Republican villain will one day live long enough to be a lefty hero. I can't wait for twenty years from now when the media is fondly remembering Trump while denouncing its latest conservative hate target. And meanwhile the media is cynically exploiting McCain's death to bash Trump. New York Times: As a Nation Mourns McCain, Trump Is Conspicuously Absent

At election time, every Republican apparently becomes a racist.

...she jumped on the tracks at the Midtown MARTA station to save her mother. ...sightseeing in Atlanta when Christopher Patrick Brooklin, 28, allegedly pushed the mother without provocation.

National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, the top economic adviser to President Trump, confirms a Washington Post report that he hosted at his home last weekend a controversial publisher linked to white nationalist commentary. Peter Brimelow, the publisher, founded the anti-immigration website Vdare.com. The site has become a forum for hard-line conservative views on race and immigration. "I don't regard us as a 'white nationalist' site although we certainly publish a few writers I would regard as 'white nationalist' in that they stand up for whites just as Zionists, Black Nationalists do for Jews, Blacks etc," Brimelow told the Harvard...

Mara Gay, a member of the far-left New York Times editorial board, believes Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) was being honest when he said America “was never that great.” She also agrees with the sentiment. During a speech before supporters Wednesday, Cuomo was very clear about why he does not believe America has ever been great. After criticizing President Trump’s “Make America Great” slogan, Cuomo laid out his reasoning. “We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great,” he said, as his supporters laughed and gasped. “We have not reached greatness, we will reach greatness when every...

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., joked about how somebody saving a drowning President Trump would be a "catastrophe" at the start of an event in Sunshine, Fla., on Sunday. In a video reported by the Daily Caller, Hastings said he first learned of the joke from Ari Silver, whose father is former Florida state legislator and rabbi Barry Silver. “Do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe?” Hastings said, retelling the joke. "A crisis is if Donald Trump falls into the Potomac River and can’t swim,” Hastings said. A "catastrophe," he added, "is anybody saves his ass.'” Cheers...

Lyndon Johnson said the word “nigger” a lot. In Senate cloakrooms and staff meetings, Johnson was practically a connoisseur of the word. According to Johnson biographer Robert Caro, Johnson would calibrate his pronunciations by region, using “nigra” with some southern legislators and “negra” with others. Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he’d simply call it “the nigger bill.” Then in 1957, Johnson would help get the “nigger bill” passed, known to most as the Civil Rights Act of 1957. With the 1964 Civil Rights Act...

Democrat Bettie Cook Scott stood outside the polling stations on Tuesday and urged voters not to cast a ballot for her Asian opponent. Scott told the voters, “Don’t vote for ching-chang!” and don’t vote for “ching-chong.”

Tamar Braxton Responds to Delta Airlines’ Statement Rebuking Her ‘Unusual Behavior’ Wednesday, August 1, 2018 Tamar Braxton has responded to a Delta Airlines statement blaming her “unusual behavior” and her refusal to follow a flight attendant’s instructions during a recent flight. Tamar’s sister Towanda accused a Delta pilot of ridiculing Tamar after the pilot left the safety of the reinforced cockpit to deal with the part-time singer’s unruly behavior. “@tamarbraxton got ridiculed by a pilot for flying while black on Delta,” Towanda wrote in an Instagram post dated July 28. “Wow!
