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...

The White House announced that Joe Biden is set to visit Chicago next week to help Mayor Lori Lightfoot push coronavirus vaccines, even as the city drowns in a rising wave of violence. Biden is set to visit the Windy City next Wednesday, according to Chicago’s WGN Channel 9. Chicago Mayor Lightfoot recently announced another citywide vaccine program to get 77 percent of adults and children over 12 to get vaccinated by the end of the year, according to the Chicago Tribune. The paper added that 72.4 percent of adults and eligible children in Chicago are already vaccinated, but the...

Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton sharply criticized President Joe Biden in an article published Friday, saying the black community felt “stabbed in the back.” “He said on election night: Black America, you had my back, I’ll have yours,” Sharpton said in a phone interview with the Washington Post. “Well, we’re being stabbed in the back, Mr. President. We need you to stop the stabbing — from Haiti to Harlem.”

Video footage from the U.S.-Mexico border shows Texans heckling and shouting over the speech of liberal race activist Al Sharpton, who traveled to the state to complain about unproven claims of Border Patrol brutality against illegal immigrants from Haiti. Texans repeatedly Sharpton to “get out of Texas.”

When it comes to crime, liberals prefer to talk about guns rather than criminals. Morning Joe gave two examples of that today, first playing a clip of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo bragging about being the first to declare something called a "gun violence disaster emergency." It seems little more than a PR stunt, with the only measure mentioned being enhanced crime-reporting requirements for large police departments. Then came a clip of the Chicago police department superintendent decrying "too many illegal guns in our city." But Al Sharpton then sounded a surprising, and pretty gutsy, voice of reason, saying the...

New York is burning: On the Upper East Side this week, a gang waving Palestinian flags attacked Jewish bystanders, while protestors on 13th Street marched by cheerfully shouting “we are terrorists.” Not to be outdone, yet more hoodlums stormed Manhattan’s Diamond District, known for its large concentration of Jews, flinging a firework at a woman, and hitting others. If you’re wondering why so much anti-Semitic violence could explode so suddenly and so forcefully, you’ve only to look back to the events of last summer, when the Black Lives Matter movement set fire to one American city after another.

If you're a news program with any pretense of journalistic integrity, how can you: Mention "George Floyd" six times during today's show; but... fail to mention even once the major news about the trial of the man that a jury convicted of murdering George Floyd. Namely, that one of the jurors was a BLM supporter who: Who denied to the judge before being selected as a juror that he had attended any rallies against police brutality, whereas he had attended one while wearing a BLM hat, and a T-shirt that read "Get Off Our Necks--BLM." [See screencap.] Reportedly told the...

Every time I turned on the television to get an update on the George Floyd murder case, the very first thing I saw was Al Sharpton at the podium playing master of Ceremonies. It made me want to throw up. What’s up with that guy? What makes him think that we always want to hear his mouth every time we turn on the television set? . Sharpton never fails to turn the most sober occasion into a three-ring circus. That’s his thing. He’s a hearse chaser who never had a real job. He’ll preach, he’ll snitch for the FBI, or...

Democrat Threats And BLM Riots May Have ALREADY Corrupted Chauvin Trial, Jury May Say GUILTY In Fear. Democrat Maxine Waters incitement to insurrection and ongoing BLM riots may have jurors terrified over what may happen. It is possible that regardless of what the jury thinks of George Floyd they are too scared to defy the far left. Though a hung jury also seems like due to a refusal to agree, fear may win out the day.

Judge Peter Cahill, who is presiding over the case involving the death of George Floyd, said on Monday that remarks made by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) over the weekend could lead to the “whole trial being overturned” on appeal.“And it is so pervasive that it is I just don’t know how this jury it can really be said to be that they are free from the taint of this,” the lawyer representing Derek Chauvin said. “And now that we have U.S. representatives, threatening acts of violence in relation to the specific case, it’s mind boggling to me, judge.”

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Civil rights leaders Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton hosted a prayer Monday afternoon outside the Hennepin County Government Center. A protest, organized by more than a dozen Twin Cities groups, is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday after the conclusion of closing arguments in the trial of Derek Chauvin.

The Justice Department on Friday sued Roger Stone, accusing Stone and his wife, Nydia, of owing nearly $2 million in unpaid federal income taxes and fees. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, says the couple underpaid their income taxes by $1,590,361 from 2007 to 2011. It further says Stone, 68, did not pay his full tax bill in 2018, coming up $407,036 short. The couple, the suit alleges, used a commercial entity to "shield their personal income from enforced collection and fund a lavish lifestyle despite owing nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties."...

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Rev. Al Sharpton led the family of George Floyd and others in a prayer Tuesday outside the Hennepin County Courthouse, where the trial of Derek Chauvin is taking place. Chauvin is the former Minneapolis police officer charged in Floyd’s death. "We wept through many cases from Rodney King to Eric Garner to Michael Brown—some never reached the courthouse," Sharpton said. "But here we are now, in the shadows of a courthouse, praying for justice." Among the attendees at the prayer were Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump, Eric Garner’s mother Gwen Carr and former New York Governor...

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Before opening statements get underway in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd's death, Reverend Al Sharpton is urging Americans and people worldwide to join in a moment of remembrance for Floyd. Sunday, Reverend Sharpton, while speaking at a vigil for Floyd in Minneapolis, called on people to join him along with members of the Floyd family as they take a knee ahead of court on Monday. Sharpton is planning to hold a news conference at 8 a.m. ahead of the start of court. After the news conference, and...

The family of George Floyd and two national civil rights leaders will be gathering in Minneapolis the night before the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer charged in Floyd's death. Opening statements in the Derek Chauvin trial begin Monday. Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death. The images of Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck were captured on video and shared worldwide, sparking global protests around race and police brutality. Sunday night before the official start of the trial, Rev. Al Sharpton and civil rights attorney Ben Crump will join the Floyd family...

Liberals have spent the last five years fulminating about how former President Donald Trump reserved the bulk of his national TV interviews for Fox News. They fiercely protested the protective bubble Trump received from Sean Hannity or Jeanine Pirro. So what did they say when Vice President Kamala Harris granted her first national interview as the veep to Rev. Al Sharpton for his weekend MSNBC program? Hannity and Pirro aren't known for racial hoaxes or virulent anti-Semitism. No one would really consider Sharpton a journalist. He's still running around lobbying with his group, the National Action Network. Last year, he...

A whistleblower leaked shocking images of Coca-Cola’s online training modules instructing employees to “try to be less white.” Karlyn Borysenko, an anti-critical race theory activist, obtained the images from an internal whistleblower and posted them online: “Confronting Racism: Understanding what it means to be white, challenging what it means to be racist” “Try to be less white” To be less white is to: Be less oppressive Be less arrogant Be less certain Be less defensive Be less arrogant Be more humble Listen Believe Break with apathy Break with white solidarity “In the US and other Western nations, white people are...

Because of offensive tweets posted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., before she won office, House Democrats joined by 11 Republicans voted to strip her of her committee assignments. If this is the new standard, can we apply this to the Rev. Al Sharpton, aka a Democratic "kingmaker," whose support was solicited by every major 2020 Democratic presidential candidate? About Sharpton's power and stature, The Atlantic, in 2019, said: "The 2020 Democrats' courting of Sharpton is well under way. He says he expects his endorsement to make a difference when he makes it. ... Sharpton occupies a distinct space. Other...

Did the Rev Al stay up a bit too late overnight, watching Steve Kornacki at the Big Board? The question arises because this morning, Sharpton made a statement so strange that it made you wonder about his state of mind. On Morning Joe, asked by Joe Scarborough to comment on the meaning of Georgia having voted "to elect America’s first black vice president in November, and . . . the Democratic party’s first black senator after four years of Donald Trump," Sharpton responded: "It means that this country has really come back unto showing that we’re not going backwards to...

In yet another blow to common sense on college campuses, Tennessee State University has hired Al Sharpton as a visiting professor teaching “political science grounded in social justice.” Tennessee State is a public university and thus it is taxpayer funded. In fact, billions of American taxpayer dollars help to fund higher education each year. Last year, President Trump notably threatened to suspend federal funding if colleges and universities fail to protect free speech on campus.
