In an essay for the New York Times 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones argues that the United States was “founded as a Slavocracy” and that racist ideology was the country’s “original sin.” The 1619 Project’s educational curriculum develops this premise further by drawing a direct link between slavery and the policies, laws and culture of present day America. The death of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests strengthened this narrative and led to a flurry of actions. Statues were removed and enquiry commissions set up to expose institutions’ historic links to slavery. Some activists have even argued that...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The federal government has illegally broken a promise to pay off the debts of a group of Black farmers, according to a class-action lawsuit. The group hopes to put pressure on officials to keep their word and to restore funding that was dropped after a group of white farmers filed legal challenges arguing their exclusion was a violation of their constitutional rights. The lawsuit filed in October remains active even as the U.S. Department of Agriculture moves forward with another effort to help farmers in financial distress in addition to paying farmers who the agency...

U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell is pushing for a legislative fix to a law designed to make horse racing safer after an appeals court last month ruled it unconstitutional, a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations told Reuters. The changes to the law, which would provide greater federal oversight of the board charged with writing and implementing safety rules, would be included in a full-year spending bill, known as an omnibus, which could pass later this month. The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) was created by Congress in 2020 to replace the state-by-state patchwork of regulations with...

Nicholas Sandmann, a former Covington Catholic High School student who traveled to Washington DC with a busload of classmates in January 2017 to walk with thousands of young pro-life kids in the annual March for Life, was a victim of hate and intolerance of the racist hate group Black Hebrew Israelites and the habitual liar and teen bully Native American, Nathan Phillips. Phillips became a hero to the Left after then-16-year-old Nick Sandmann refused to be intimidated by him, as he stood his ground and faced the leftist agitator while he repeatedly banged a drum within inches of his face....

A major push to replace America’s gasoline-powered cars with electric vehicles has not borne much fruit yet. According to a new study, America’s 2.1 million electric cars and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) have saved the country some gasoline. A little. A smidge. In 2021, they saved almost two days’ worth of gasoline. It’s a hard number to trim America uses a lot of gasoline. The numbers are staggering. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Americans burned about 369 million gallons of gasoline per day in 2021. And that number was down a bit from historical highs. Many Americans drove fewer...

Seventy percent of coral reefs off the coast of Florida are eroding and experiencing a net loss of habitat, according to new research out of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Science. The decline is a result of bleaching events which are driven by climate change, ship groundings and disease. In 2014, researchers discovered an outbreak of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, which is decimating reefs both in Florida and the Caribbean. The state’s coral reefs also support around 70,000 jobs and generate $8.5 billion annually, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...

Girkin is the one responsible for the destruction of MH17, and was one of the original "Separatist" Leaders to infiltrate Ukraine and lead Russian forces in the Donbass. He was the Defense Minister of this so-called separatist region for a little while before going full time into being a talking head (more than likely to escape assassination). He is also an FSB agent.Earlier this year, Girkin, despite his allegiances and being, essentially, a terrorist for his Russian masters, predicted that if Ukraine finished amassing its reserves of 750,000+ people (it is now over 1 million), that Russia would see massive...

They’re making a list and checking it twice. President Biden is facing an outcry from the White House press corps for the “petty” exclusion of journalists from the traditional presidential media Christmas parties. In a seeming break from Biden’s pledge to restore “civility” to public life, a number of journalists — many believing themselves excluded for “naughty” rather than “nice” coverage — didn’t get invites to the glam soirees on Dec. 8 for TV teams and on Dec. 13 for other press. The holiday fests are prized perks of the beat for media that cover the White House because attendees...
