The images — men on horseback, appearing to use reins as whips to corral Haitian asylum seekers trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico — provoked an outcry. But to many Haitians and Black Americans, they’re merely confirmation of a deeply held belief: U.S. immigration policies, they say, are and have long been anti-Black. The Border Patrol’s treatment of Haitian migrants, they say, is just the latest in a long history of discriminatory U.S. policies and of indignities faced by Black people, sparking new anger among Haitian Americans, Black immigrant advocates and civil rights leaders. They point to immigration...

Former President Donald Trump said Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is almost "like a Democrat in disguise" in his latest criticism of the Republican lawmaker ahead of a visit to the state on Saturday. Trump told the John Fredericks Radio Show on Real America's Voice that Kemp was a "disaster" who had worked to make sure Republicans lost the 2020 presidential election. The former president has frequently criticized Kemp since President Joe Biden carried the state of Georgia in November and the governor has resisted pressure from Trump to revisit the election results in a special session of the state legislature.

Former President Donald Trump warned GOP gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin on Thursday that he needs to fully embrace Trump’s “MAGA movement” in order to beat Democrat Terry McAuliffe on Nov. 2. Trump said Thursday in an interview with conservative radio host John Fredericks, a former top Virginia campaign official for Trump, that he thinks Youngkin can win, but he issued a caveat. After again raising unfounded doubts about the integrity of Virginia’s elections, Trump said: “The only guys that win are the guys that embrace the MAGA movement.” He added: “When they try and go down a railroad track: You...

As news spread Thursday that former President George W. Bush would be headlining a Texas fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming next month, subscribers to the email posts by former President Donald Trump received a "must-see" message. Inside the file, headed with the subject line "ICYMI: Must-See Photo" was no written message from Trump, just a photoshopped image depicting Bush and Cheney as if they were one person. The image gave the effect of Bush dressing as Cheney for Halloween, with the congresswoman’s blonde hair and eyeglasses.

The Hunter Biden email cover-up may not be the most contemptible example of the modern political media's corruption, but it is probably the most demonstrable. Politico reports that Ben Schreckinger's new book, "The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power," corroborates much of the New York Post's pre-election reporting on Hunter Biden's emails. Two of them stick out: The first is a 2015 missive from a Ukrainian businessman thanking Hunter for the chance to meet Joe Biden -- then, still vice president. The second is a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with...

Armed Services panel secretly fought court battle this summer to quash subpoena seeking records of contacts with ex-FBI official Daniel Jones and liberal-funded The Democracy Integrity Project nonprofit. ================================================================================= The efforts to disseminate a now-discredited theory that the Trump campaign had secret computer communications with the Kremlin extended beyond the FBI, CIA, and State Department to the U.S. Senate. Under the late Sen. John McCain, the Armed Services Committee engaged a former FBI official and his progressive-funded nonprofit to produce a report on the matter, according to court records obtained by Just the News. The Senate committee, now under Democrats'...

On June 21, 2021, a bull moose repeatedly charged an Idaho backpacker and his dog, who had set up camp at Harrison Lake, a pristine wilderness site, about a 4.6 mile hike from the trailhead. Harrison lake is a near oval mountain lake with one outlet, known as pack river. From spokesman.com: The moose tore apart the campsite and charged at the camper and his dog. The camper hid behind a tree, but the moose did not stop charging. The camper discharged a firearm at the moose in self-defense from close range, according to the release. Fish and Game responded...

Beijing (AFP) - Hundreds of Chinese video game makers have vowed to police their products for "politically harmful" content and enforce curbs on underage players, as the government cracks down on the entertainment industry. The 213 gaming firms, including top industry players Tencent and NetEase, promised in a joint statement dated Thursday to ban content that was "politically harmful, historically nihilistic, dirty and pornographic, bloody and terrifying", and to resist "money worship" or "effeminacy" in their games. They also pledged to "put all efforts into anti-addiction work" and strictly enforce limits on children's screen time through facial recognition and other...

It's the biggest political hoax since Titus Oates's allegations of a "Popish Plot" to assassinate King Charles II in 1678. Oates's charge of a Jesuit conspiracy swept through London and led to the execution of four innocent men before Oates was proved a fraud. The full consequences of the great political hoax of our time – the charge that former President Donald Trump was colluding with Russia – are not yet fully apparent. Yet they are surely serious. We have heard from many Democrats and those in media that Trump's claims that he actually won the 2020 presidential election tend...

Country singer Lee Greenwood told "Fox & Friends" Thursday that he was "shocked" at being replaced on National Council on the Arts by the Biden administration. COUNTRY SINGER LEE GREENWOOD WAS "SHOCKED" AT BEING REPLACED ON NATIONAL COUNCIL ON THE ARTS BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION LEE GREENWOOD: You know, it’s a six-year appointment and I was appointed by George W. Bush 43. So I served under his term. Also, President Obama’s term. Of course, President Trump’s term. And then as you know he used my song "God Bless the USA," which is unilateral for me. It’s meant for all people,...

China's central bank has announced that all transactions of crypto-currencies are illegal, effectively banning digital tokens such as Bitcoin. "Virtual currency-related business activities are illegal financial activities," the People's Bank of China said, warning it "seriously endangers the safety of people's assets". China is one of the world's largest crypto-currency markets. Fluctuations there often impact the global price of crypto-currencies. The price of Bitcoin fell by more than $2,000 (£1,460) in the wake of the Chinese announcement. It is the latest in China's national crackdown on what it sees as a volatile, speculative investment at best - and a way...

NEW YORK — Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc on Thursday (US time) visited the headquarters of Pfizer in New York, during his trip to the US to attend the 76th session of the UN General Assembly. During the meeting, President Phu praised Pfizer’s positive role in COVID-19 prevention and control, especially with the successful development of its mRNA vaccine, acknowledged by the entire world as a highly effective ‘weapon’ to fight the pandemic. He appreciated the total shipments of 2.8 million doses of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines to Viet Nam so far which has contributed to the country’s COVID-19 response, as well...

WASHINGTON, Monday, Sept. 23. The excitement of to-day has been the news from Missouri, and the probability of the surrender of MULLIGAN's command at Lexington. The latest dispatch to-night is that he was forced to surrender, and this appears to be so well authenticated that it is generally believed. I shall not be surprised, however, to learn that before this reaches you, Gen. FREMONT has taken the field in person, corralled PRICE and his rebel crew, and forced him to surrender. Perhaps the wish is father to the thought, but the thing is not only possible, but probable. The "Pathfinder"...

Keeping up on the spectacle of South Carolina’s Murdaugh murder case is like riding a land rocket without steering. The rural killings of the wife and a son of a father later accused of plotting his own shooting to reap an insurance payout has more twists and turns than three television shows filmed in the Palmetto State: “Southern Charm,” “Outer Banks” and “The Righteous Gemstones.” This is an ongoing reality show taking place in Hampton and Colleton counties that already has at least two major podcasts as well as reporters from The New York Times and national television networks scrambling...

MSNBC host Medhi Hasan cited Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who once protested the Republican National Convention because of former President Donald Trump, but now she has gone all in. Discussing the new GOP conspiracy from "critical race theory" to the "great replacement theory," Hasan explained it's just another opportunity for Republicans to promote white supremacy.

The footprints at White Sands were dated by examining the seeds of an aquatic plant that once thrived along the shores of the dried-up lake, Ruppia cirrhosa, commonly known as ditchgrass. According to research published Thursday in the journal Science and co-authored by Bustos, the ancient ditchgrass seeds were found in layers of hard earth both above and below the many human footprints at the site, and they were radiocarbon-dated to determine their age. The tracks at one location have been revealed as both the earliest known footprints and the oldest firm evidence of humans anywhere in the Americas, showing...
