U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations calls on Biden to appoint special envoy to monitor, combat ‘Islamophobia’ APR 27, 2021 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS21 COMMENTS Should the USCMO succeed in its goal to see a special envoy to “monitor and combat Islamophobia” in America, the systematic hunting down of organizations and individuals who offend Islam would be in order. And the guidelines on what constitutes an offense to Islam would be determined by the USCMO. In such a scenario, the First Amendment would be rendered null and void. The USCMO call comes less than a week after Pakistani Prime Minister...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation knowingly violated the Constitution to track down potential ‘racially motivated violent extremists.’ But the FBI didn’t conduct its unconstitutional dragnet following the January 6th Capitol riots, it actually started its probe in November — in the midst of a contested election. A newly declassified report shows that the FBI pursued extremists in November that would fit the profile of future Capitol rioters by tapping into a National Security Agency database that trawls and records Americans’ communications. “The FBI’s requests for access to masses of electronic communications harvested by the National Security Agency (NSA) is revealed...

The list below was born out of some pretty serious arguments. Was Bruce Springsteen better in 1975 or 1978? When did Kanye hit his stride? Which was more awesome, “The Joshua Tree” or “Zoo TV”? The concerts and tours that made the final cut weren’t just huge spectacles, they deepened the power of rock & roll itself – from Neil Young thrashing out 20-minute jams with Crazy Horse to Beyoncé turning stadium glitz into a personal outpouring. “You’re almost levitating on the energy from the audience,” says Keith Richards. “And I miss it when I’m not doing it.” Here are...

U.S. President Joe Biden has frayed relations between Ankara and Washington “beyond repair” with his recent statement using the word “genocide” to describe the 1915 Armenian genocide by Turkey, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency argued Tuesday. The Ottoman Empire enacted what is widely considered the first genocide of the modern world against Armenian, Assyrian Christian, and Greek populations in what is now Turkey. The Turkish government adamantly denies this occurred, claiming all those killed died in a war featuring violence on both sides, a claim not corroborated by historical

Former President Donald Trump has finally weighed in on the special election race in Texas’ 6th congressional district and has endorsed Susan Wright, widow of former Rep. Ron White who passed away earlier this year. It was already etched in stone that Susan Wright would seek to replace her late-husband Rep. Ron Wright (R) in Congress long before he passed away this past winter — Rep.Wright was terminally ill with cancer and his family and consultants were hoping that he would make it past the 2020 election and buy them more time to mount a campaign for Mrs. Wright. Now,...

Pakistan PM calls for West to criminalise blasphemy against Islam PM Imran Khan calls on Western governments to treat insult against Islam’s prophet as it does the Holocaust.

President George W. Bush stood before the U.S. Capitol in 2005 and delivered an Inaugural Address in which he declared his utopian vision that the United States had a mission to change the world. He was wrong. History has now proved it. "The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands," Bush said. "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world." "So, it is the policy of the United States," he said, "to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions...

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Maggie Williams, a junior on the Summit High School track team, broke a school record in the 800-meter last Thursday. Her moment of glory has been somewhat overshadowed a by moment of concern – Williams passed out as she stumbled her way across the finish line. She and her coach say the mask is to blame, and now the Oregon Health Authority is updating its guidelines.

In the time since he has left the White House, former President George W. Bush has refrained from wading into political and policy debates. But his most recent collection of paintings, "Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants" and the accompanying book does just that in a very unique way. Immigration was one of the most contentious issues Bush faced during his presidency, and the debate still rages today. The former President has always cared about the issue of immigration, but using a paintbrush to make a statement came after his Presidency.

CHICAGO – Chicago plans to invest $60 million in support of local artists and organizations across the city. The initiative, called “Arts 77 Recovery Plan,” will help benefit 77 Chicago neighborhoods. Since the start of the pandemic, painters, performance artists, musicians and others have struggled to create and showcase their work. The program is designed to fund venues and other outlets for artists. Englewood Arts Collective is one of many institutions benefitting from the recovery plan. “One of the challenges is financial burden, said Janell Nelson, co-founder of Englewood arts collective. “Sometimes, you just got to put food on the...

For 14 months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended draconian restrictions on Americans’ daily lives to combat the spread of COVID-19. The CDC disregarded the psychological hardships and economic losses the restrictions inflicted. Now the evidence is emerging that the restrictions were based on flimsy science or sheer guesswork.

The Border Patrol says it has insufficient time and space to conduct coronavirus testing at crowded processing stations. Officials in border cities fear further spread of the virus. Dora Eglis Ramírez and Pavel Brigido Rivero set out from Cuba to seek asylum in the United States last year, as the coronavirus rampaged across Latin America. Starting their trek in Guyana, they managed to cross eight countries, sleeping in buses and doing odd jobs, without ever contracting the virus. Then they crossed the border into the United States. U.S. Border Patrol agents intercepted them late last month in Southern California and...

Elon Musk is remarkably perceptive! The more I learn about him, the more respect I develop. Unlike much of the corporate community, who (hopefully), are more intelligent than they appear to be, Musk has no fear in expressing what he believes to be true, and he’s almost always right. Musk is one who sees the roots of things, disregarding the windstorms of opinion and the sales pitches of the media (propaganda) and government. While Musk profits from the vaccine machines Tesla makes for CureVac, he also recognizes the nature of the COVID-19 scamdemic. He didn’t stumble onto this skepticism accidentally,...

TAMPA, Fla. (CBS12) — Investigators say a woman previously convicted of DUI manslaughter is facing new charges after crashing into a car dealership in Tampa. The Florida Highway Patrol captured the crash on camera: Investigators said an FHP sergeant clocked a speeding Hyundai going 111 miles-per-hour on the highway.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Tuesday he will update the state's guidance for people who fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to allow them to shed masks when taking part in outdoor activities, but masks will still be required in large groups outside. “Here's welcome news from CDC: fully vaccinated people can enjoy most outdoor activities without a mask,” Pritzker said on Facebook as he shared a Washington Post report about the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. President Joe Biden on Tuesday said because of the increased number of COVID-19 vaccines, “the CDC made an important announcement: Starting today,...
