VIDEOOh the Horror! MSNBC along with most of the rest of the media, which in 2020 assured us that it would be just fine to wait a few weeks to find out the election results due to mail in ballots, suddenly changed its tune and is now concerned about speed in counting the ballots. Specifically they are worried about the hand counted ballots in Georgia that would avoid the problems of cheating via election machine. Oh, and as you will see they hand count ballots in France with a much larger population with Georgia and their results are usually determined...

Vice President Harris offered effusive praise for Sean “Diddy” Combs while participating in a town hall dedicated to the coronavirus and black Americans. The two-hour event in April 2020 was co-hosted by CNN political commentator Van Jones and also featured Rev. Al Sharpton and “Squad” members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) “Hey everyone, it’s good to be with you this evening. Sean I want to thank you because you always have a way of convening and bringing folks together,” Harris said on the call. She later followed up in an effusive tweet that was widely mocked...

WASHINGTON -- The IRS has collected $1.3 billion from high-wealth tax dodgers since last fall, the agency announced Friday, crediting spending that has ramped up collection enforcement through President Joe Biden's signature climate, health care and tax package signed into law in 2022. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel traveled to Austin, Texas, to tour an IRS campus and announce the latest milestone in tax collections as Republicans warn of big future budget cuts for the tax agency if they take over the White House and Congress.

MSNBC's Morning Joe tap-danced on the Democrat line again on Monday, freaking out over Donald Trump joking to the Christians at a Turning Point USA "Believers Summit" that they won't need to vote in four years because "we'll have it fixed." Sharpton thought he was criticizing Donald Trump. Instead, he unintentionally revealed something ominous about the Dem strategy for "winning" elections. "If he's saying he's going to give the far-right Christians what they want, it is frightening at best. They're trying in some states to stop a drop box for voting, trying to limit early voting, He intends to set...

US Capitol Building, which was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Ancient Greece and the ideals we celebrate on Fourth of July greatly influenced the push for American independence. Credit: Public domain Greek Americans have one more reason to be proud on the Fourth of July each year because they don’t only celebrate America’s Independence Day, but also the great influence of Hellenism on the birth of the American nation. The ideas and practices that are celebrated on Fourth of July and that led to the development of the American democratic republic after 1776 owe a debt to the...

Al Sharpton just said:“How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side say January 6 was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses.”I applaud and admire Al Sharpton for being willing to so harshly criticize his own side of the political spectrum.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was baptized at notorious Rikers Island jail on Good Friday. Adams was baptized by civil rights campaigner Rev. Al Sharpton, alongside a group of male prisoners. The ceremony came as part of a visit to the jail, which has seen reports of violent crime and inmate deaths, where Adams met with detainees over Easter weekend. Adams was seen joining Sharpton in prayer, being baptized and having his feet washed by the reverend. 'Having been arrested and then elected mayor, I reminded these young men that where you are is not who you are,' Adams...

Black leaders are condemning former President Trump’s recent comments about Black voters as “racist.” Speaking at the Black Conservative Federation (BCF) annual gala in South Carolina on Friday, Trump said his legal woes have earned him the support of Black voters around the country. “I got indicted for nothing, for something that is nothing,” Trump told the crowd. “And a lot of people said that’s why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing but possibly, maybe, there’s something...

Pssst! Al! When you publicly suggest that Joe Biden discuss white supremacy, you should at least pretend it is for moral, not ulterior political reasons. Unfortunately, Reverend Al Sharpton said the quiet part out loud on Monday's Morning Joe.Since Biden's handling of economy and border security has caused a slippage of support for him among black voters, Sharpton stated that when Biden uncorked another campaign speech in Charleston later in the day, he should bring up white supremacy in his speech as a way to shore up support among a group that has been increasingly disappointed in him.

The Rev. Al Sharpton delivered an impassioned eulogy Monday for Dexter Wade, a 37-year-old Black man who was run over by an off-duty police officer in Jackson, Miss., and buried in a potter’s field without his family’s knowledge. “What happened to Dexter is a disgrace, a national outrage, and should be treated as such,” Sharpton said at the New Horizon Church International. “It is time for the mayor and the city council to stand up for Dexter. How do you explain how a young man ends up buried? The autopsy said that he had a state ID in his front...

VIDEOImagine this. The purveyor of what many consider the first major well known Hate Crime HOAX, Al Sharpton, has the gall to call Robert F. Kennedy, Jr a conspiracy theorist. Al's conspiracy theory about Tawana Brawley supposedly involving the Mafia, the KKK, the Irish Republican Army, and the top officials of New York was much WILDER than anything that RFK, Jr. could dream up. The fact that NOBODY on Morning Joe pointed this out says something about how low MSNBC has become since they continue to pay the salary of a known conspiracy HOAXSTER and monumental GRIFTER.

Neely released video of Big Pharma Vivek in ‘04 trying to figure out which Democrat candidate to vote for He would go on to apply for & receive a Soros fellowship in law school He never registered as a Republican But now he wants to be the GOP nominee?

MSNBC host and race-baiter Rev. Al Sharpton is a little confused about why the Founding Fathers are famous and what Americans celebrate every year on July 4. “One day, our children’s children will read American history, and can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government so they could stay in power? That’s what we’re looking at,” Sharpton said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We’re looking at American history, and how it will play out is going to be very important.” His comments are in reaction to former President Donald Trump’s third and latest...

Before Nicolle Wallace was able to toss to the commercial break at the end of her interview, Biden stood up and awkwardly walked off the set. Things got really interesting when Al Sharpton bragged that after the Wallace interview, Biden spent 10-15 minutes speaking with him. That led Scarborough to say: "You can see [Biden] in a hurry to get out of the chair and meet somebody really important. And we all know that person, Rev, was you."Wow! So, in Scarborough's book, Sharpton is really important, but Wallace—whom he didn't even deign to mention by name—ain't. Got it, Joe! Enjoy...

It was just like the old days: As New York wrestles with a race-tinged tragedy, Al Sharpton sends a nastygram. SNIP Yet Friday’s race-baiting, however deplorable, is also ironic. It may have benefited Sharpton’s interests — and certainly his ego — but it also undercut a black mayor struggling to govern an increasingly unstable city. Indeed, government in New York — even in Albany — is now overwhelmingly run by black, brown or otherwise minority incumbents. How does racializing a crisis help them?

Left-wing activist and President of the National Action Network, Al Sharpton, has accused McDonald’s of failing to properly address accusations of racial discrimination by the company. In a Thursday letter sent to McDonald’s Corporation, Sharpton demanded that the company rectify “longstanding” issues regarding their allegedly discriminatory practices. Otherwise, Sharpton warned that he and his group would “mobilize to demand action against the fast-food giant.” “We find it appalling and inexcusable that McDonald’s Corporation has not satisfied its differences with the Black community,” Sharpton said in the letter, before noting the number of legal woes already facing the fast food titan....

Kenneth Glasgow, an Alabama pastor, voting rights activist and half-brother to the famous Black pastor and MSNBC host, entered a guilty plea in Montgomery, Alabama federal court Friday, the Associated Press recently reported. Glasgow’s plea deal allowed the pastor to avoid a trial for his charges that would've been held in March. The pastor will be sentenced at a later date.

...Al Sharpton and [others] will gather in Tallahassee on Wednesday to protest Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' attempts to ban the teaching of some aspects of African American history in Florida public schools...

We have periodically discussed the infamous case of Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton, now a MSNBC host. In 1987, Brawley, a black teenager, falsely accused a prosecutor, a New York police officer and a state trooper of a racist attack and rape. The racial animus was fueled actively by Al Sharpton who sued the case to propelled himself into national fame or infamy. She later recanted and a court ordered damages to be paid by both Brawley and Sharpton — neither of whom paid. Now the falsely accused former Dutchess County prosecutor Steven Pagones has tracked down Brawley living in...

It probably would be possible to make a good documentary about Al Sharpton, one that offered some nuanced insight into the life of a genuinely bizarre man, the former child preacher from the streets of Brooklyn, mentored by the likes of Jesse Jackson and James Brown, who would go on to become one of the most recognizable and expensively dressed demagogues of his generation. That film would be nothing like Loudmouth, the John Legend-produced Sharpton documentary available now (for purchase, obviously) on iTunes and Amazon Video after a limited run in theaters and a star-studded world premiere at last year's...
