The meeting was slated as a Minneapolis City Council study session on police reform. But for much of the two-hour meeting, council members told police Chief Medaria Arradondo that their constituents are seeing and hearing street racing which sometimes results in crashes, brazen daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults and shootings. And they asked Arradondo what the department is doing about it. "Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police’?” said Jamal Osman, newly elected council member of Ward 6. He said he's already been inundated with complaints from residents that calls for police aren’t being answered. “That is the only public safety...

A graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has apologized and resigned from their teaching job and worker’s union leadership position after years of embracing “lies” about their racial identity. CV Vitolo-Haddad, who uses the non-binary pronouns “they” and “them,” admitted that they are actually Southern Italian and Sicilian — not black or Latino, which are both labels they accepted when peers allegedly assumed they were a person of color. “When asked if I identify as black, my answer should have always been ‘No,’ ” Vitolo-Haddad wrote Sept. 8 in the second of two confessions on Medium. “There were three separate...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) face rising odds in their high-profile re-election bids, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. Why it matters: Many thought Graham's Senate race was a long shot for Democrats, and the moderate Collins has served as a pivotal Republican swing vote on a number of key issues during the Trump presidency. Collins, who has criticized Trump at times but voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and to acquit the president in his impeachment trial, is down 54%-42% to her Democratic challenger Sara Gideon, Maine's House Speaker. Graham is tied...

Has Joe Biden become so insignificant that he has become a non-person even at Politico which supposedly covers politics in-depth? We have already seen that Politico has become laughably incurious about why Joe Biden has taken so many "lid" days and now it appears that Biden coverage at that periodical of politics has shrunk to the point he has disappeared entirely in some sections, such as their Politico Playbook. Although Tuesday's Politico Playbook PM by Anna Palmer, Jake Sherman, Eli Okun, and Garrett Ross runs over 2200 words and covers a wide variety of political subjects, the number of times...

That same day, conservative Portland activist Andy Ngo shared Gray's name and mug shot on Twitter. "Gray, 30, is charged with interfering with an officer, resisting arrest and more," Ngo wrote on Twitter. "She was arrested at the violent antifa protest in Portland and quickly bailed out.

Conservative digital activists were smeared as behaving like “Russian trolls” by a recent article in the Washington Post. The writer also made sure to reach out to both Twitter and Facebook to get the teenage activists banned. The article goes to great lengths — even interviewing PhDs — to compare the teenagers to “bots,” even though the article presents no evidence that any accounts were not operated by humans, and to “Russian trolls,” even though the article acknowledges that the people in charge of the accounts were Americans. The article also casts normal behavior of political activists, like reading from...

One by one, bishops slowly insisting Catholics go back to Mass. How many will listen? Having used their authority to stop lay Catholics from attending Mass, can bishops now invoke their authority to bring them back? Will this genie go back in the bottle? September 16, 2020 (CatholicCulture.org) — Starting this coming Sunday, it will be a serious sin for a Catholic in the Milwaukee archdiocese to miss Sunday Mass without a serious reason. Last week it was OK. It’s still OK in most other American dioceses and archdioceses. Can we expect ordinary Catholics to understand this situation? Can we...

Rank-and-file Democrats have increasingly become frustrated with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) brinksmanship-style negotiations with congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump. Politico reported that Pelosi has continued to pursue her hardline approach in negotiations with Republicans, demanding a coronavirus bill around $2.2 trillion. The report arises as many coronavirus programs created by the CARES Act have languished over Pelosi’s reluctance to compromise with Trump and congressional Republicans.

September 17th is CONSTITUTION DAY! It celebrates the finish of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. On that day, the elder statesman of the Convention, Benjamin Franklin, weakly handed a speech to Delegate James Wilson to be read to the members assembled. Here is part of that speech: “In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is...

Hollywood actress Debra Messing called President Donald Trump a “rapist” and a “pedophile” on Twitter Tuesday, and repeatedly posted the hashtags #TrumpIsARapist and #TrumpisaPedo in what appears like an attempt to get the smears trending on the social media platform. Twitter hasn’t issued a fact-check on Messing’s tweet and the company’s communications department didn’t respond to a query from Breitbart News. The social media giant has been cracking down on President Trump by fact checking and even blocking some of his tweets, claiming that they are inaccurate or contain misleading information about election rules. Debra Messing, who boasts more than...

A Southwest Pennsylvania sheriff has defected to the Republican Party from the Democrats, saying he feels out of place in his former party. “It was a really difficult decision and I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I feel I stand for the ideals of the Republican Party platform more than the Democrats today,” Westmoreland County Sheriff James Albert stated, according to The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, but a conservative Democrat at that,” he added. “I’m pro-life, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, a lifetime member of the NRA (National Rifle Association) and, today, I...

President Trump scolded CNBC host Jim Cramer on Wednesday for apologizing after he shocked viewers by calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., "Crazy Nancy" to her face during a live interview. “Jim, you didn’t make a mistake. It’s true, and that’s why you said it,” Trump tweeted to accompany video of Cramer’s apology. “No pandering!” It all started during a live interview on Tuesday when Cramer pressed Pelosi about the ongoing discussions on Capitol Hill on coronavirus relief bills. During the segment, Cramer raised eyebrows when he used President Trump's nickname for Pelosi. “What deal can we have, Crazy Nancy,”...

The Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office is trying to set the record straight after outrage erupted over the $1 million bail set for a number of people protesting in Lancaster Sunday night. Criminal justice advocates and politicians took issue with bail set for seven of the 13 protesters accused of rioting and vandalizing downtown Lancaster during protests over the police shooting death of 27-year-old Ricardo Munoz. The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania — demanding answers from the courts and District Attorney Heather Adams — took particular issue, describing the $1 million bail in a Tuesday statement as “exorbitantly high.”...
