Former President Barack Obama said Wednesday in a video played on CNN’s “Early Start with Christine Romans and Laura Jarrett” that it is worrisome that a strong majority of Republicans “actually believed” the misinformation that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. The video was of a Tuesday interview with the former president by moderator Lonnie Bunch, former secretary of the Smithsonian, for The American Library Association Annual Conference’s closing session.

The self-brainwashing of compulsory universal schooling (mis-education) makes the inmates of the insane asylum "from sea to shining sea" SELF-REGULATING, resolutely punishing independent-thinking people who want to live their own lives. When Jimmy Carter was exposed (Jimmy Carter Revealed, he's a Rockefeller Republican, Atlantic Monthly July 15, 1977, the night he won Georgia gubernator, he called up David Rockefeller's secretary to be groomed for higher office, the idea was that the intellectual grandchildren of Adolf von Harnack, who "disproved" biblical accounts of miracles, assume their secular-agnostic-atheist "Sunday School Teacher" play-role like the Walton's "Ma" (Michael Learned), so the "influential classes"...

During both crises, a Native American reservation on California’s far northern coast kept the electricity flowing with the help of two microgrids that can disconnect from the larger electrical grid and switch to using solar energy generated and stored in battery banks near its hotel-casino. As most of rural Humboldt County sat in the dark during a planned shutoff in October 2019, the Blue Lake Rancheria became a lifeline for thousands of its neighbors: The gas station and convenience store provided fuel and supplies, the hotel housed patients who needed a place to plug in medical devices, the local newspaper...

A federal judge Wednesday sentenced "Smallville" actress Allison Mack to three years in prison for her role in a purported self-help group that prosecutors say doubled as a secret sex cult. Mack pleaded guilty in 2019 to various crimes, including extortion and forced labor, when she was a high-ranking member of NXIVM, the upstate New York group led by Keith Raniere, who is now serving a 120-year prison sentence.

The average national price for regular gas is priced at $3.10, the highest it has been since October 2014.

Hollywood has a reputation for being a liberal bastion of political correctness. But as these appalling movies show, it wasn't always so. Some of them—such as 1975's Mandingo—are almost fetishistically racist. Others are fantastic movies degraded because stereotypical characters such as Long Duk Dong from "Sixteen Candles" or Mr. Yunioshi from "Breakfast at Tiffany's." We've compiled a list of the worst racist indiscretions made in Hollywood from the very birth of film. And there are a lot. Warning: Some of this material may be upsetting. 21. "North" (1994) had Inuit/Eskimo racism in one ridiculous scene. In this strange and terrible...

We know that the 2020 Election came down to six counties in six swing states. What’s really interesting is that there were many of the same activities in these counties that were present in many of them if not all of them. Dr. Peter Navarro, President Trump’s Director of the Office and Trade and Manufacturing Policy, provided some excellent charts in the latter days of President Trump’s first term related to the 2020 Election. In the six swing states in 2020, there were many of the same activities that occurred across multiple states.

Chances are you haven’t yet heard about 17-year-old Hunter Brittain who, despite being unarmed, was shot dead by police during a traffic stop. It’s not that this isn’t a shocking and tragic story, but there has been a complete national media blackout on the incident because, unfortunately for Brittain’s family, they’re all white. Brittain was pulled over in the middle of the night last week in Cabot, Arkansas, for reasons that remain unclear. According to 16-year-old Jordan King, who was in the vehicle with Brittain, the truck was having gear trouble and would not remain in park, so Brittain exited...

As the Biden administration tries to sell Joe’s 3 zillion dollar socialism plan masquerading as infrastructure, the PR department is providing spin for his cabinet members. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says that highways are racist so we need raise taxes and become a socialist country to fix that. Apparently nobody in the Biden administration understands effective sales techniques. Pete Buttigieg, a man with no experience in transportation, was made the Secretary of Transportation because he likes to play with trains and checks off the “gay” box on the diversity list. In an interview with black website The Grio, gay...

The redeployment of Indian troops has set alarm bells ringing in Beijing, as it continues to blame New Delhi for “increasing the military presence and encroaching upon Chinese territory”. “[This] is the root cause of the tense situation along the borders,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian recently said at a media briefing in Beijing. China’s state-mouthpiece Global Times published an editorial, calling India’s policy “hardline and assertive” amid ongoing border tensions between the two neighbors. Nitpicking on India’s “weaknesses”, the daily said India is no match for China, militarily and economically. Accusing the US of pushing India away from...

Add "bottle of antifreeze" to the list of common objects law enforcement officers have mistaken for deadly weapons and then used to justify shooting—and, in this case, killing—an unarmed citizen... King told local ABC affiliate KATV news that the truck wouldn't properly shift into park, so Brittain went to the back of the truck with a jug of antifreeze to prop behind a truck's tire so that it wouldn't roll backward and strike Davis' vehicle. That's when Davis fired at Brittain, and according to King, Davis didn't tell him to stop or get on the ground. He just shot him.

White guilt is big business. That’s what professional race hustler Robin DiAngelo learned after she published “White Fragility,” an infamous New York Times Bestseller that catapulted her, and her libelous claim that white people are inherently racist, to national prominence. Not only did DiAngelo land segments with big corporate media outlets like CNN and MSNBC, she also netted large sums of money from speaking engagements, including a two-hour virtual event with Purdue University that cost the school $7,000, and an address at the publicly funded University of Wisconsin Madison that made DiAngelo a hefty $12,750, among other events. Now DiAngelo...

WELLINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - New Zealand is considering making masks compulsory at high alert levels as well as compulsory scanning of QR codes to boost contact tracing in efforts to reduce the risk of coronavirus spreading, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday.

Some scholars aren't happy with the "problematic" insect and animal names, and are calling for a large-scale reform. What are people saying about this? "There is no room for racism in science," University of Arizona Ph.D. candidate Earyn McGee — one of the scholars calling for reform — tells The College Fix in a statement. McGee, also a herpetologist, also says that she is firmly against honoring "racist people or racial slurs by naming animals after them." McGee adds she has high hopes for a new name for the Yarrow's Spiny Lizard — since celebrated ornithologist and herpetologist H.C. Yarrow...

Bill Cosby is set to be released from prison after Pennsylvania’s highest court overturned his sexual assault conviction on Wednesday.

If CNN’s show The Lead With Jake Tapper were a dinner party, you’d cancel it because so many guests bailed out. Just look at the viewership numbers. Tapper’s weekday show, which was just expanded to two hours in April has already lost 75% of its viewers. Worse, the viewership shrunk by 49% from the first to the second quarter of this year. Wait, the news gets even worse – or better, depending on your point of view – than that. Fox News reports that losing 3/4 of the audience is bad enough, but in the crucial demographic 25-54, CNN’s viewership...

In most portions of the U.S. economy, market competition puts downward pressure on prices, increases investment in innovation, and provides consumers a variety of options of purchases. The benefits of competition are obvious when Americans can shop around for automobiles at car dealerships or when walking the aisles of the supermarket. Competition in energy markets may not be as recognizable as cars or groceries, but Americans should know many of our country’s energy markets have been at the forefront of competition liberalization since the 1990s. As a result, monthly electric rates are lower or stagnant while consumers enjoy more options...

Proving once again that American taxpayers have been way too generous for our own good, the National Academy of Sciences has discovered that the air is racist. If you think that’s too stupid to be true and you’re waiting for the punchline… there’s no punchline. They really mean it. Liberal scientists have determined that the air itself is racist. According to USA Today and NPR – those two bastions of scientific innovation – the scientists practically stumbled on this new discovery by accident. Perhaps they were looking for those “racist dog whistles” that only liberals can hear and ended up...

China Daily was busted spending millions of dollars, and lying about it, to publish ads made to look like news stories in publications such as, you guessed it, the Washington Post and the New York Times. How many Facebook fights have you had with a lib-dolt who got his info from a Chinese propaganda “news story”? The New York Times sheepishly ended their lucrative deal with China Daily and began scrubbing the Chinese nonsense from their site.As of December 2019, the Chinese had published over 700 online ads and 500 ads printed in American newspapers, ads that were propaganda made...
