My father-in-law, a cherished African-American teacher, Mr. DeFrantz, who worked with Mr. Jaime Escalante before he fled to Bolivia, never was heard in his most characteristic voice by his great-grand children. I just realized that he sounded most like a male version of Mama Odie in the Princess and the Frog. The great African-American tradition is something that should be for free to all peoples of the world. The pseudo-Africans of BLM would rub raw all grievances. They would say you can't receive the cultural legacy of 9 great historical world civilizations (from Ancient China, India, Africa, the Middle East...

The New York Times has promised to give staffers “results” after many signed a letter expressing anger over the decision not to fire science and health reporter Donald McNeil, The Washington Post reported. McNeil, the Times’s top COVID-19 reporter, came under scrutiny after allegations that he “repeatedly made racist and sexist remarks throughout” a school trip that he was chosen to guide, according to a past report from the Daily Beast. NYT’s executive editor Dean Baquet later explained that he was first “outraged and expected to fire” McNeil, but changed his mind after an investigation. “I authorized an investigation and...

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Friday she was grateful for the Democratic “morons” and 11 Republicans who voted Thursday to eject her from House committees — because they only made her more prominent. Greene (R-Fla.) pointed out that Republicans are in the minority in the chamber and can’t do much on committees regardless. “I woke up early this morning literally laughing thinking about what a bunch of morons the Democrats (+11) are for giving some one like me free time,” Greene tweeted. “In this Democrat tyrannical government, Conservative Republicans have no say on committees anyway. Oh this is going...

A proposal from Florida Republican Matt Gaetz that every meeting of the House Judiciary Committee begin with a recital of the Pledge of Allegiance was given short shrift by his Democratic colleague in a video that has been viewed nearly a million times. Gaetz, who has served as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 1st congressional district since 2017, shared a clip of the exchange on his Twitter account. In it, the Trump-supporting GOP congressman asked that the Pledge of Allegiance be recited at the start of each committee session. Gaetz suggested it would be a “great, unifying patriotic moment.” But...

The decision to go to such an event, the governor said, impacts the entire community.

Three Democratic U.S. senators introduced a bill that would limit Section 230, a law that shields online companies from liability over content posted by users, and make the companies more accountable when posts result in harm. Called the SAFE TECH Act, the bill would mark the latest effort to make social media companies like Alphabet Inc’s Google, Twitter Inc and Facebook Inc more accountable for “enabling cyber-stalking, targeted harassment, and discrimination on their platforms,” Senators Mark Warner, Mazie Hirono and Amy Klobuchar said in a statement. In the wake of the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington,...

Time Magazine has published intricate details of what they deem “a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.”

First Friday Devotion “Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself in order to testify to its love! And in return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrilege, and by the coldness and contempt they have for Me in this Sacrament of Love. … “I feel this more than all that I suffered during My Passion. If only they would make Me some return for My Love, I should think but little of all I have done for them and would wish, were...

Democrats moved to push through President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus plan with or without - most likely without - Republican support. Following an hours-long "vote-o-rama" (a sophisticated legislative procedure, for those who aren't familiar), VP Kamala Harris cast her first tie-breaking vote to approve the budget plan in the Senate.The deciding vote came early Friday morning, after about 15 hours of all-night debate, and votes on dozens of amendments. In the end, the Senate found itself in a 50-50 partisan deadlock, allowing Harris to break the tie in a 0530ET vote... Vice President Harris casts her first tie-breaking vote...

The Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski-inspired Traitorade key lime sour from Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based Smug Brewing tastes like lime and spite. It’s a beautiful anti-love letter from New England to the former Patriots stars after they jumped ship to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. From a distance, it can look like a Gatorade. But for those who really know it, you can see a dry, sarcastic layer of affection. It’s like walking down a Boston street in February, staring at the ground and not talking to anyone. It’s bitter and abrasive. In a vacuum, it should be a miserable experience. But...

President Joe Biden sounded a dark note on the future of the economy Friday, after a bleak jobs report came out. The United States economy added 49,000 jobs in December with only 6,000 jobs in the private sector, according to the latest report released Friday morning. “At that rate, it’s going to take ten years to get back to full employment,” Biden said. “That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact.” The president spoke while meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats in the Oval Office to discuss his $1.9 trillion coronavirus spending plan.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore into Bank of America (BOFA) for allegedly searching and releasing private customer data to federal investigators following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Carlson said his show obtained “exclusively, evidence" that BOFA — which has more than 60 million customers — “is actively but secretly engaged in the hunt for extremists in cooperation with the government.” Carlson said during the February 4 edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight that the nation’s second-largest bank “is, without the knowledge or the consent of its customers, sharing private information with federal law enforcement agencies.” In effect, Bank of America...

Marjorie Taylore Greene (R-GA) from her assigned committees, including the House Education and Labor Committee, and the House Budget Committee.

"These things do not represent me." She...

Several shoppers and employees at a bustling Florida supermarket went maskless in defiance of a county mandate, alarming footage shows. A 15-second clip posted to Twitter Wednesday shows just a few shoppers and virtually no employees wearing face coverings at an Oakes Farms Market in Naples — where a sign outside says customers are exempt from Collier County’s mask mandate if they have a medical condition. One maskless female employee is seen laughing at a customer who also eschewed donning a mask, while two workers and another patron were all without personal protective equipment at another checkout aisle, the footage...
