A guest on Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Goodwin, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown, somehow managed to make a connection between post-Dobbs laws limiting abortions and slavery and Jim Crow laws, specifically including those restricting the ability of African-Americans to play checkers and chess. Co-host Michael Steele—who surely professed pro-life views back when he was running for and serving as RNC Chairman—teed up Goodwin, saying that the driving force behind the new laws is a Republican desire to control women. Goodwin took that a giant step further, claiming that "cruelty is the point behind all of this. I've...

Six Kansas-based former members of a cult called the United Nation of Islam (UNOI) have been convicted after forcing children to work 16-hour days for no pay while housing them in inhumane conditions. The people had told the children they would burn in “eternal hellfire” if they tried to escape. The United Nation of Islam (UNOI) was a splinter group from the Nation of Islam, founded by Royall Jenkins in 1978. Officially labeled a cult by a federal judge back in 2018, UNOI housed children in overcrowded, rodent-infested facilities, brutally beat the children, and nearly starved them. The children worked...

It is a common historical myth that Rome fell in 476 A.D. after Odoacer, King of the Goths, sacked the capital city and forced Romulus Augustus to abdicate his throne.The historical reality is rather different. Over the course of nearly a century, Germanic tribes – fleeing everything from war, famine and tribal politics – moved, unimpeded, into Roman territory. And the Empire died not by traditional invasion but by unchecked mass migration.During this period, Rome was ruled by a disaffected elite. Rather than send out a legion or two to kick some culus and take nomen, they decided it would...

NYC Council pass bill to create task force to study reparations for black residents City lawmakers passed a controversial bill Thursday to create a reparations task force in New York City — which could lead to proposals to spend billions in taxpayer money as compensation for slavery and racial injustice. The legislation was approved 41-8 before the full council on Thursday, with its sponsor, Council Member Farah Louis (D-Brooklyn), calling it a “monumental step” to pay back “injustices that have plagued our society for centuries.” “This is a matter of morality and justice, equality and equity,” Louis said.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to deport millions of wealth-shifting illegal immigrants “is not good policy,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a political event in Texas on Friday. Mayorkas doubled down on his business-first extraction migration economic policy at the Texas Tribune event but lamented public opposition to elite demands for more cheap immigrant labor, saying, “[I] speak to state leaders, senators, House members on both sides of the aisle, and they will speak of visa [worker] programs and the need to expand the number of visas … [and yet] nothing, nothing is accomplished.”

TRANSCRIPT: The original sin of slavery. Today Americans are taught, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst. The Atlantic slave trade from Africa to the Americas was different from any other type of slavery. The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody, we created it. American slavery was worse because the slaves were reduced to property. They were chattel property. No other system of slavery did that except American slavery. That's complete nonsense. Wilfred Reilly is a political science professor and author of Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me. Generational slavery, like if you're the son of a...

Since the 2000 presidential election, the left has worked to undermine the legitimacy of the Electoral College, labeling it a relic of slavery. No doubt, if Donald Trump returns to the White House while again losing the popular vote, these attacks will be renewed with fervor. In fact, it has already begun as commentators denounce the undemocratic nature of the system. Just last month, the New York Times published a piece trashing the Constitution and asserting that the Electoral College’s only purpose was to protect slavery. These critiques are based on misconceptions and hostility toward the very structure of our...

The San Diego Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to support 14 bills making their way through the California legislature to provide reparations for slavery, even though California entered the Union in 1850 as a free state. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported: The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to support a series of bills making their way through the California Legislature that would provide reparations to Black people who have been harmed by systemic racism and other inequities. … Supervisor Joel Anderson was the lone no vote. … “If we wanted to go through our history, there isn’t...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed the Biden administration after a “stunning” inspector general’s report released Tuesday found nearly 300,000 migrant children have gone missing in the US. “This administration’s failure to secure our border is facilitating what is the equivalent of a modern-day slavery operation,” Johnson told reporters on a press call Tuesday evening. “The southern border is a national security disaster and a humanitarian catastrophe and Kamala Harris cannot be trusted to fix it,” he thundered. “And this is one of the biggest scandals in American history; it’s one of the most tragic; and we have to hold...

People on the far left don't object to slavery per se. Instead, they only object when the slave owners are white.

King Ghezo ruled Dahomey from 1818 to 1858, a period marked by military conquests and the transformation of the region's economy, heavily reliant on the slave trade. The kingdom of Dahomey, with its capital at Abomey, was a dominant power in West Africa, known for its aggressive raids on neighboring regions to capture slaves. These captives were either traded for European goods, forced to work on royal plantations, or sacrificed in elaborate voodoo ceremonies.Local legends claim that several structures within the palace complex in Abomey, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, were constructed using a mortar that included the blood...

Imagine a not-so-distant future where you own nothing and have no privacy. It’s a cashless society where everyone must use digital currency and possess a digital ID while living under the rule of a global government. It may sound like something straight out of George Orwell’s chilling novel, 1984. Yet today, some very powerful global players, led by the World Economic Forum and with the enthusiastic backing of some Western leaders, major corporations and the UN, are promoting this radical transformation of society. They call it “The Great Reset.” How does it affect Christians? What role does the United States...

A California State Legislature committee has approved a bill that could allocate a staggering $800 billion for slavery reparations. This sum is more than 2.5 times the state’s annual budget. Notably, California was never a slave state historically, yet it will be paying individuals who themselves were never enslaved. The decision reflects an acknowledgment of the long-lasting harm endured by Black Americans, even in a state that never officially endorsed slavery.

The year was 1860. The nation was coming apart and yet, its political parties made plans to come together - to gather in convention despite deep-seated and festering sectional issues, each to nominate a candidate and approve platforms that, as it turned out, united regions but not a nation. That meant dark consequences, ensuring this country would reap a cataclysmic whirlwind. With today’s polarization as a historical backdrop, this is the story of the most divisive presidential election in the history of this nation - the election of 1860.

These figures are a rough estimate of the death of non-Muslims by the political act of jihad. Africa Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. For every slave captured many others died. Estimates of this collateral damage vary. The renowned missionary David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached a plantation, five others were killed in the initial raid or died of illness and privation on the forced march.[Woman’s...

California lawmakers have voted to officially apologize for the state's role in slavery, but efforts to make cash reparations payouts have been shelved. The California Assembly on Thursday backed a bill authored by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer that accepts responsibility for 'all of the harms and atrocities committed by the state.' The Los Angeles Democrat received hugs and applause on the assembly floor after the bill was passed. It now moves on to the Senate. 'Not only is the apology letter important … it's whether or not we go ahead and fulfill the dream of what my ancestors wanted, which is...
