    A California teenager accused of being behind a flurry of swatting incidents across the country targeting schools and the homes of FBI agents has been arrested in connection with a swatting attempt at a Florida mosque last year, according to court documents filed by state prosecutors. Alan Winston Filion, 17, was arrested last month at his home in Lancaster, California, and extradited to Florida on Tuesday, court documents say. He was charged as an adult on four felonies, including charges related to false reporting that triggered law enforcement response. Filion entered a not guilty plea to the charges. He is...
  • Chinese Propaganda Group Has Spent Years Cozying Up to Black Colleges

    03/29/2021 7:19:57 PM PDT · by SeekAndFind · 9 replies
    A Hong Kong-based think tank suspected of working as a front group for the Chinese Communist Party has cultivated close ties to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and members of the Congressional Black Caucus since 2014. The China-U.S. Exchange Foundation’s (CUSEF) outreach to the black community is part of a broad initiative to cozy up to prominent organizations in the U.S., including foreign policy think tanks and other elite universities. CUSEF’s activities have drawn the attention of CIA Director William Burns, who testified at his Senate confirmation hearing last month that he cut ties with CUSEF when he was president...

    CNN analyst Van Jones appears to recognize a political head-on collision before it happens. He’s now warning leftist viewers to wake up to the realities of what can occur with Trump’s next run for the White House in 2020, according to his appearance on a panel in the aftermath of the president’s SOTU speech. One of the most worrisome moments for Van Jones was the president’s pitch for improved education for African-Americans. “You may not like it,” Van Jones cautioned his fellow panelists, “but he mentioned HBCU’s (historically black colleges and universities), have been struggling for a long time, a...

    President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he signed “groundbreaking” legislation supporting historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The legislation will permanently fund HBCUs and simplify federal financial aid applications for millions of families, the president said in a statement Thursday. “President Obama and the Obama Administration were unable to get this done. I got it done,” Trump said, arguing that HBCUs have never had a champion in the White House before his presidency. Funding for the HBCU’s was in jeopardy a few months ago until the White House and Congress collaborated on a “historic agreement,” the president said. [snip]

    Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. Presidents of leftist colleges across the nation are creating segregated dorms for blacks students in response to the Black Lives Matter mafia. You can’t make this stuff up. In 1964, Democrats fought tooth and nail to preserve segregation.  Racist southern Democrat Dixiecrats like Alabama Governor George Wallace refused to follow the Supreme Court’s Brown vs. Board of Education decision, the law, and even resorted to sanctioning police brutality against blacks to keep his state “separate and unequal.” It’s more than curious that California State University of Los Angeles...

    Bowie University, a historically black college in Maryland, is being forced to cancel its student healthcare policy because of Obamacare. Bowie administrators determined that the cost of complying with President Obama’s signature healthcare law would raise per semester costs from $50 for each student to $900. Instead, the university made the decision to simply end its healthcare coverage for students. “Bowie State University has suspended offering health insurance for domestic students for the 2013-2014 academic year,” said the university in a statement. The bad news at Bowie undercuts Obama’s assurances that his domestic policies are helping young people and African...

    They attend schools whose faculties hate and fear the free market. They couldn’t wait to run to the polls to vote for “Brother Barack.” Once he was elected all of their troubles would be over and they could join him and his Party in rubbing the “oppressive” White majority’s face in the dirt; or so the Black students at America’s “historical Black colleges” thought. Like virtually every other group that joined Barack Obama’s coalition and worked to get him elected, Black students at America’s Black colleges – which sport some of the worst graduation rates in the country – have...

    Last Friday, Nikole Churchill became Hampton University's first non-black homecoming queen and the second non-black homecoming queen of any historically black college or university. Her crowning, by five judges, has caused controversy, as students and alumni debate whether Churchill deserves the distinction. The 22-year-old Churchill is Hawaiian, with an Italian mother and a father from Guam. According to WTKR, she was chosen out of 10 applicants in the competition and reportedly built her win on the platform of mentoring girls ages 11–14 on topics including "self-esteem, body image, teenage pregnancies and nutrition." No matter how strong her presentation, though, many...

    The "Homecoming Queen" at a traditionally black US university has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, complaining that her win had been questioned on campus because she is white. But after her letter riled students at Hampton University in Virginia, beauty pageant winner Nikole Churchill issued a public apology, saying she had taken "the comments of a few and blew them out of all proportion." Churchill, a tall, raven-haired woman who, like Obama, grew up in Hawaii, wrote to the president after winning her university's beauty pageant last week. "It would be much easier to say that possibly some...

    HAMPTON, Va. -- Nikole Churchill, a tall, thin woman with long, dark hair, was named homecoming queen at historically black Hampton University last week. The next day, she appeared with her court at the football game against Howard University, another historically black school. All this would be unremarkable except that Churchill is the first homecoming queen at Hampton who is not black. That apparently did not sit well with a handful of people at the game, who heckled the senior nursing major. This bit of unpleasantness, along with similar comments online, might have passed unnoticed except for what Churchill did...

    Morehouse College, one of the few remaining all-male historically Black colleges has taken a courageous stand with its new dress code that bans ghetto thug attire and cross-dressing on campus.Black Voices gave some background:Morehouse President Dr. Robert M. Franklin, Jr. is implementing the code starting today as part of his "Five Wells: well read, well spoken, well-traveled, well dressed and well balanced." Here are the standards as published in the student newspaper, The Maroon Tiger (via The Daily Voice):It is our expectation that students who select Morehouse do so because of the College's outstanding legacy of producing leaders.

    Hampton University in Virginia made a huge mistake. They took Barack Obama's post racial world idea and, thinking it was already here, anointed a white chick as its "Miss Hampton University" pageant winner. Now some of the black students are mad that the traditionally black university named a white girl as "Miss Hampton U." Ooopsie. I guess we aren't in that era of Obama like we thought we were. I guess we aren't quite done with all that racial strife that we keep hearing about on the news, eh? I hate it when the man... er, the bro... is always...

    By Samieh Shalash 247-4537 October 13, 2009 HAMPTON - Hampton University crowned its first non-black Miss HU Friday, leading to a division on campus that prompted her to write President Barack Obama. Nikole Churchill, 22, competed against nine black students in the 15th annual Miss HU scholarship pageant. The senior nursing major attends the Virginia Beach campus and is the competition's first non-black winner, according to executive pageant director Shelia J. Maye. Churchill, who is from Hawaii, wrote Obama on Sunday to tell him that her crowning was met with negative comments because of her skin color. She invited him...

'There can be no greater connection in the African-American community than through the black church,' said the Rev. Carlton Eversley of Dellabrook Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem. Eversley will serve as the unpaid director for N.C. Black Churches for N.C. Black Colleges and Universities. The nonprofit agency,...

    TAMPA, Fla. -- The Division II Pioneer Bowl has been canceled because it lost investors and its promoter failed to meet two payment deadlines. Orlando-based Jericho Communications Media Group issued a statement Thursday saying it missed two payments of a combined $31,750 to the Tampa Sports Authority and the game's host, Raymond James Stadium. The Pioneer Bowl was moved to Tampa this year after five years in Atlanta. The game matches the champions of two historically black conferences, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. SIAC champion Tuskegee and CIAA runner-up Bowie State were set to...

    Gun-running is not a term most Huntsvillians would have associated with Oakwood College. A New York Daily News report about a federal investigation into the illegal sale of guns in New York by college students has changed that. Students from three historically black institutions - Oakwood, Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta and Texas Southern University in Houston - have been implicated. At least one student from Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, a predominantly white institution, is also believed to have been in the illegal sale of guns. Dedrick Blue, the newly appointed vice president for Student Services at Oakwood College,...
