In an effort to institutionalize the ad hoc procedures that won the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden, Democrats in Congress have crafted legislation that would mandate sweeping changes in the voting process nationwide. The "For the People" Act's lead sponsor Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md) emphasized the urgency of getting this done now, saying "We may not get the opportunity to make this change again for many, many decades, so let's not miss that window. Shame on us if we don't get this done." Among the changes that will be made is to make vote-by-mail universal. Sarbanes explained that "the...

The vice president of the La Mesa-Spring Valley Board of Education in California is facing calls to resign after she accused fellow board members of invoking “White supremacist ideology” by demanding officials set a date for reopening classrooms. School Board Vice President Charda Bell-Fontenot grew irritated during a public Zoom meeting Tuesday after members said they needed a vote that night on a return-to-school date, citing a survey that said 70-80% of students wanted to return to in-person learning. “Where are they?” Ms. Bell-Fontenot fired back, demanding to know the “language group” of the survey participants and where they lived...

Speaker Pelosi’s Capitol security plans recommend adding more fencing around the building, as well as more than 1,000 Capitol Police officers, two sources with direct knowledge of the findings told CNN. This is ridiculous. Unhinged retired Lt. General Russel Honoré is reviewing security around the Capitol after the January 6th riot. Pelosi had said Honoré’s review was to focus on “security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control.” $100 MILLION TO PROTECT THE CAPITOL FROM 75 MILLION TRUMP SUPPORTERS The additional 1,000 personnel, which could cost nearly $100 million, would include roughly 350 officers and expanded staffing in...

Boston Public Schools officials said that a program with advanced learning classes would be cancelled over concerns that the classes served disproportionate racial groups. The program known as Advanced Work Classes was intended to serve high-performing students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grade. Students are encouraged to study their subjects in a deeper and non-traditional manner. School officials became concerned when a report showed that the program was disproportionately serving white students, and underserving black and Hispanic students. The district analysis found that more than 70% of the students in the program were white or Asian, while nearly 80%...

2020 was a strange and painful year for all Americans - no need to rehash the obvious. The real question is where do we go from here? I contend that 2021 is a do or die year for Black economic progress. Organizations have been compelled, unlike ever before, to finally do business with Black-owned companies. Any deviation from this course of action will be met with swift and deliberate resistance. We can no longer tolerate the all too familiar mountain of fluffy corporate marketing about the tenets and values of diversity and inclusion; change needs to happen TODAY. We can...

And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite. 1 Samuel 17:58 The Texas blackout would have never happened under Trump since it was forced to happen by Senile Joe. Just like the stolen election it was manufactured by Moscow on the Potomac turning off the power due to some arbitrary EPA regulation protecting a frozen world from Global Warming. Texas axed Biden’s hacks if they could increase the capacity of their power plants to offset the loss of power from frozen solar panels...

A federal judge Thursday threw out a lawsuit by a transgender woman who accused the private pageant corporation of discrimination for denying her the right to participate in competitions.U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman found that the pageant association cannot be required to allow a transgender woman to participate in light of its mission to promote “natural-born” females. . . . “Because I viewed it as an organization that does promote a message and seeks to maintain control of that message, I view it as an association that cannot under the Constitution be required to allow plaintiff to participate in...

Joe Biden is the “most aggressively anti-Catholic President in history” despite his outward show of piety, Virginia priest and director of Human Life International, Father Jerry Pokorsky, states. “For most of his political life — from his consistent pro-abortion record to his officiating at a gay wedding in 2016 — despite his Catholic affiliation and public pious practices, Joe Biden has magnified and institutionalized countless major violations of the Ten Commandments,” Father Pokorsky writes in an essay . “The hypocrisy rivals that of the chief priests and Pharisees,” the priest declares. “Indeed, Biden is the most aggressively anti-Catholic President in...

During the debate yesterday over the Equality Act, a measure that would create a right to kill babies in abortions and force Americans to fund abortions, Republicans accused Democrats of ignoring Biblical values. And a surprising comment from pro-abortion Democrat Congressman Jerry Nadler confirmed that to be true. Part of the debate over the pro-abortion measure revolved around sex and gender issues and Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) upset Democrats when he confirmed God makes boys and girls unique. “When men or women claim to be able to choose their own sexual identity, they are making a statement that God did...

Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot coronavirus vaccine has been recommended for emergency use authorization by an independent advisory committee, setting it up to get the green light from the FDA and mark the third vaccine available in the United States. Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine protects against COVID-19, according to an analysis by U.S. regulators Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, that sets the stage for a final decision on a new and easier-to-use shot to help tame the pandemic. The Food and Drug Administration’s scientists confirmed that overall, it’s about 66% effective and also said J&J’s shot, one that could help speed...

Agencies at the United Nations have launched efforts this week to transport 25,000 asylum seekers back to the United States after being made to stay in Mexico under the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). According to a press release from the UN Refugee Agency on Wednesday, the tens of thousands of asylum seekers have active immigration cases in the U.S., but were returned to wait in Mexico under the MPP program. The UN agencies’ action comes after the U.S. and Mexican governments requested UN assistance with migrant re-entry. The Refugee Agency began in-person registration of nearly 750 people from...

Editor's Note: This column was co-authored by Kent M. MacDonald.As longtime admirers of legendary civil rights pioneer and educational entrepreneur Booker T. Washington, we felt compelled to pay tribute to this profoundly influential American during Black History Month. Born into slavery on April 18, 1856 in Hale’s Ford, Virginia, Washington died a free man 59 years later on November 14, 1915 in Tuskegee, Alabama. From a young age, he understood the power of education. He worked hard and earned degrees from Hampton Normal, an agricultural institute (today Hampton University) and Wayland Seminary. Washington became recognized as a leading educator, author,...

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Former Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving recalled to House Admin how previous discussions with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her office factored in to his “blender of decision making,” according to three sources with direct knowledge of Irving’s talk with House Admin. Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol Grounds, Irving allegedly told House Admin. The discussions, which centered around “optics,” allegedly occurred in the months prior to the Jan. 6 riot, during a time when deployment of federal resources for civil...

We hear a lot about God and Job's sufferings. The book of Job has 42 chapters and some 99% of the verses talk about Job's sufferings. However nobody knows how long Job suffered and some interpreters think it was a relatively short time. Some think Job suffered for a few months and others think Job suffered only for days. To the best of my knowledge all the events in the book of Job could have occurred within 30 days. If so, then Job suffered a very short time. But here is even better news: After Job suffered and endured his...

Part of the discussion centered on bipartisan proposals in the Legislature to create a commission to take on the often controversial task of redrawing electoral district boundaries based on new census data. Egolf told panelists the plans could weaken Democrats’ advantage in the Legislature, “and the [Democratic] agenda goes out the window.” He said he did not understand why “Democrats want to unilaterally disarm and give advantage to the people who are trying to make the world a dirtier place, take rights away from people, make it harder to vote — all the things that we oppose. I don’t want...

Middle Easterners Begin Painting Transgender Flag Colors On Doorposts To Avoid Biden Drone Strikes SYRIA—Facing the coming wrath of President Biden, Middle Easterners turned to the only possible means of escape: painting their doorposts with the colors of the transgender flag. "Please, O Angel of Death, pass us by!" cried one man as Predator drones flew by, raining the wrath of Biden from above. "I support your social justice causes, see? You can pass right on by! No problems with you here! We love you, President Biden! So proud to be bombed by a female vice president of color for...

U.S. health advisers endorsed a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson on Friday, putting the nation on the cusp of adding an easier-to-use option to fight the pandemic. The acting head of the Food and Drug Administration said in a statement that the agency will move quickly to follow the recommendation, which would make J&J’s shot the third vaccine authorized for emergency use in the U.S.
