I am very tired of Joe Biden. My vote for him was already hanging by a thread before his disastrous interview with Charlamagne tha God on Friday. Interrupting the Breakfast Club host’s explanation that black people needed assurances that our communities will benefit from his presidency, Biden asserted: “If you’ve got a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.” Again, I am very tired of Joe Biden. Not because I am a purist, or have inflexible ideological commitments of what it will take to remove Donald Trump from office. But rather because Biden’s...

Joe Biden really stepped in it this morning during his interview with ‘The Breakfast Club’ where the presumed Democratic presidential nominee said if there is any black person who doesn’t know if they will vote for Trump or Biden they ‘ain’t black.’ . . . WTF…because I don't support your failed policies. Things like the 94 crime bill, Obamacare and others "I ain't black" based on @JoeBiden's words. That is basically saying the Dem party owns me because of skin color. I wonder if Rep. Wexton feels the same way. #VA10 https://t.co/CC2jRHrwvh — Jeffery A Dove Jr.

LEHI, UT—Popular for-profit genealogy company Ancestry.com has revoked the family heritage of any African American who says they would not vote for Joe Biden. The company said they made the changes to reflect prevailing social beliefs about race and culture. "It used to be if your ancestors were from Africa and your skin was a darker pigment, then you were considered black," said Ancestry spokesperson Sheila Reinold. "Times have changed. What really determines a person's blackness now—beyond genes, DNA, family trees—is Joe Biden. Any other determiner of race is pure malarkey at this point." A frustrated Ancestry.com customer, Brian Jennings...

There's an interesting Robert Taylor film 'Adventures of Quentin Durward'--a dangerous, incorruptible man--in which 1465 French King Louis XI played by Robert Morely, is a supremely ruthless politician in the modern sense, supposedly in the interests of keeping France together in the aftermath of the 100 Years' war with England. King Louis manipulates the Scottish character of 'Quentin Durward', a kind of Douglas Fairbanks, swashbuckling, athletic hero. but in talkies. But ultimately, Morely goes into political despair of Taylor because he is uncorruptable, and therefore, a wild card in the political game.Mr. Justice Clarence Thomas was shown to be an...

CHESAPEAKE - Chesapeake’s City Council will skew a bit younger with the election of Don Carey, a 33-year-old retired NFL player. He easily beat longtime councilman Dwight Parker, 70, who lost his seat even as two other incumbents were re-elected. Carey had the strongest showing of all seven council candidates in the race for three at-large seats, with his 17,502 votes edging out Debbie Ritter’s 17,374, according to the latest unofficial results released Wednesday after officials finished counting a historically large number of absentee ballots. Parker, who served as vice mayor from 2006 to 2008, lost his bid for another...

"I've lived under 12 presidential administrations," Scott said. "I was born during Eisenhower's administration. This president has been the most pro-black president in my lifetime. When I say 'pro,' I'm saying 'pro' as in proactive. He's been proactive rather than reactive to issues concerning minorities, underserved, and disadvantaged communities than any other president in my lifetime."

President Donald Trump recently seems to have found his message: “I am on your side. Democrats and the liberal media don’t want you to have a job.” And Jared Kushner has named Democrats “the eternal shutdown crowd.” This aligns well with the nightly barrage of gloom and doom from CNN and MSNBC. Every night, my liberal friends love to watch Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, et. al. who — while begrudgingly admitting that the pandemic statistics are looking somewhat better — emote a level of condescension and disdain toward unemployed folks who are losing their patience. I love the interview segments...

Obama told graduates, “You’re being asked to find your way in a world in the middle of a devastating pandemic and a terrible recession. The timing is not ideal. And let’s be honest: A disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country. We see it in the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our communities, just as we see it when a black man goes for a jog, and some folks feel like they can stop and question and shoot him if he doesn’t submit to...

If you turn to Wikipedia to learn about Dave Rubin – the YouTube host and author of the just-published Don’t Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason – you’ll read the following sentence right up top, even before you get to the part about his childhood and education: “Rubin describes himself as a classical liberal, but he is generally described as conservative and libertarian in his politics.” Turn to the five articles footnoted at the end of this sentence and they’ll tell you that Rubin is a one of many conservatives who, in an act of...

Joe Biden sex-assault accuser Tara Reade said she used to be a die-hard Barack Obama supporter — but she has left the Democratic Party after the blowback to her claims against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Reade, who has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in his Senate office in 1993, said she voted for Obama for president in 2008 and 2012 — but now feels she has no party to turn to. “I’m leaving the Democratic Party and I won’t be part of any,” Reade said during an interview with Megyn Kelly published in its entirety Friday. “I won’t...

... Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told CNN that she dismisses allegations of sexual assault against Joe Biden, saying "there is not a pattern" of abuse with Biden. When asked by CNN anchor Jake Tapper whether this position was hypocritical considering how Democrats treated similar allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Wittmer said: "not every claim is equal." JAKE TAPPER, CNN: You said you believe Vice President Biden. I want to compare that to 2018 when you said you believed Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford after she accused now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh of assault. (snip) GOV. GRETCHEN WHITMER: Jake, as a survivor, and...

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday extended Michigan's state of emergency and disaster declaration through May 28, hours before it was set to expire and after hundreds of protesters, some of whom were armed, gathered in the state Capitol building to voice their displeasure with the Democratic governor. Whitmer also took shots at the Republican-controlled legislature for refusing to extend the order earlier in the day. "By refusing to extend the emergency and disaster declaration, Republican lawmakers are putting their heads in the sand and putting more lives and livelihoods at risk," she said in a statement. "I’m not going to...

It is a fact that the Democratic Party has from its inception been committed to the subjugation of human beings they deemed as chattel or insignificant. The Democratic Party Platform in 1840, 1844 and 1848 held that: "All efforts by abolitionists … to interfere with questions of slavery … are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences and … have all inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union." (See: "Democrats and Republicans In Their Own Words.") In colloquial parlance Democrats were arguing that the owning slaves...

...In the survey of over 8,000 swing and “persuadable” voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Iowa provided to Secrets this morning, 63% said that they approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis. Just 21% disapproved. And they appear to support his gradual shift from focusing on fighting the virus to also reopening the economy, as well as a reliance more on businesses than Washington to lead the way. “Swing voters are concerned about the impact of the coronavirus and generally approve of Trump’s handling of the crisis. Moreover, they are more concerned with health risks than the economy —...

Michigan's Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has had her emergency coronavirus crisis powers repealed after her overreaching stay-at-home order triggered statewide unrest.The GOP-controlled Michigan legislature took steps to reign in Gov. Whitmer’s emergency powers on Friday.

Anyone in the United States who thinks the coronavirus lockdown has led to an unconstitutional power-grab by local and state governments can handily point to Michigan and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as an example of bureaucratic overreach. She’s cracked down on landscaping, gardening, golfing, traveling from one home you own to another, and buying nonessentials like seeds and paint and car seats. (“Life-sustaining” abortion is exempt, of course.) Sheriffs have announced they won’t enforce her overreaching executive orders. She’s said that she’s not going to sign any bill that takes authority away from her. She’s also lobbying hard for Joe Biden’s...

Rose McGowan is standing behind Joe Biden assault accuser Tara Reade after a clip of "Larry King Live" from 1993 resurfaced Friday and appears to include her mother alluding to "problems" her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-U.S. senator from Delaware. The actress-turned-activist took to Twitter shortly after the clip went viral Friday night. The controversy also spawned the hashtag #DropOutBiden, which was trending on the social media platform into Saturday. "TARA READE IS TELLING THE TRUTH," McGowan, who boasts 925,000 followers, wrote Friday. McGowan, a victim of disgraced movie mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein,...

As long as there are residents in the state of Michigan who need help and who need a voice, Democratic Congresswoman Karen Whitsett promised Saturday that she will not be silenced. In an interview on "Fox & Friends Weekend" with host Pete Hegseth, Whitsett explained that she would also continue to work with President Trump and any president who extended a hand her way to ensure what's done in her state needs to be done. On Saturday, a group called the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization will consider censuring Whitsett for foregoing the status quo and meeting with President...

Democratic Party leaders in Georgia and Michigan have targeted two state legislators for punishment. The “crime” of which both are accused is “breaking our party’s united front against the Trump menace,” said state Rep. James Beverly (D-Macon), chairman of the party’s House caucus. Georgia state representative Vernon Jones (D-DeKalb) made the “mistake” of praising the positive impacts on African Americans of Trump’s economic and prison-reform policies. Beverly pointed out that “it is our Party’s position that nothing Trump does is worthy of approval. Everything must be condemned if we hope to unseat him in the November election. There must be...
