ATLANTA (AP) — The pastor of a Georgia megachurch who led a nationwide 40-day “fast” boycott of Target stores over the retail chain's commitment to diversity initiatives is now calling for that effort to continue as a “full Target boycott.” The Rev. Jamal Bryant said this week that the Minneapolis-based retailer has not met all of the boycott effort's demands. Among them: Restoring its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion principles and pledging money to Black-owned banks and businesses. Target announced in January that it would phase out a handful of DEI initiatives, including a program designed to help Black...

Singer John Legend was slammed on Tuesday after footage emerged of him calling Donald Trump a white supremacist. A lifelong liberal, Legend - along with wife Chrissy Teigen - has called Trump a 'dyed in the wool racist' with Trump describing him as a 'boring musician' and Teigen as 'filthy-mouthed' for calling him a 'p***y-a** b****' in 2019. Now, a clip of The Voice judge speaking at The Fifteen Percent Pledge's 15th Street Block Party in Hollywood in February has surfaced with Legend again going all in on his distaste for the president. 'America made a decision that I strongly...

Chaos unfolded on a small island in Georgia as Spring Breakers descended onto its once serene beaches to binge drink and leave mountains of trash in their wake. The long-standing Orange Crush festival on Tybee Island, just outside the city of Savannah, was just as rowdy as its always been, with college students from nearby HBCUs and other universities letting loose. The music started on Saturday around 3pm, four hours behind schedule, and by around 4pm, attendees were flowing in. The festival was in full swing, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted.

I have been provided with several rations’ worth of bitter amusement over the last few years , when reading various news stories, especially those concerning incidents of murder, rape, mayhem and property crime – most of which can be laid at the door of a certain violently dysfunctional urban demographic – and then comparing the sympathetic manner in which that specific demographic is presented in pop entertainment. Yes, just as the sun rises in the east, one can absolutely count on black urban youth being cast as hapless, misunderstood yet endearing rascals, automatically the prime suspect in a murder actually...

Former President Barack Obama sought to distance himself from the Democratic Party after leaving it in shambles following his departure from the White House, according to a new book. The book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” published by William Morrow and Company, claims that Obama was never a Democratic Party loyalist. Instead, the authors allege, Obama curried favor from a group of “black professionals” for his campaigns, unlike former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and former President Joe Biden. Additionally, Obama’s creation of Organizing for Action — a...

...statues of treasonous Confederate generals like Robert E. Lee and Albert Pike will soon be returning. Their statues were removed nationwide after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Video resurfaced of a leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate embracing radical antisemite Louis FarrakhanProgressive Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, one of the top Democratic candidates for New Jersey governor, was caught on video applauding and embracing radical Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as he calls White people "demons" and calls for violence as retribution. Farrakhan, 91, is a longtime radical antisemite preacher known for making inflammatory statements against Jews, White people and LGBTQ individuals. He has also praised Adolf Hitler as a "great man" and has become one of the most controversial religious figures in the United States due to his...

Board said founder's conduct 'gives rise to criminal liability… at a minimum, a third degree felony.' Dennis Kennedy with Hillary Clinton / National Diversity Council A prominent diversity, equity, and inclusion nonprofit declared bankruptcy this month after its board accused its founder and top employees of stealing millions of dollars, a Daily Wire investigation found. Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey are set to keynote a conference run by the alleged thief, apparently through his for-profit firm, next month. The National Diversity Council filed for bankruptcy on March 17 after its board said in a lawsuit that its founder R. Dennis...

An elementary school teacher and principal made a six-year-old student clean up her own feces after she had an accident caused by a dairy allergy, the young girl's fuming mom claims. Jamisha Augustine told WFAB that her daughter has a dairy allergy, but drank milk for breakfast at Rollins Place Elementary in Louisiana and became sick almost instantaneously. The young girl then asked her teacher several times to let her use the bathroom, but eventually stopped letting her go, Augustine said. 'She asked here teacher to go to the restroom, but she said "no" because she went too many times,'...

It’s a fable full of cognitive dissonance: a black female attacker and a black female victim. The local NAACP has chosen eternal victimhood. Local authorities have chosen sportsmanship and the law. We’ll see which prevails.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said on Tuesday the Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House will be redesigned as part of a new mural project after threats by Republicans to cut transportation funding if the plaza was not renamed. Republican U.S. Representative Andrew Clyde introduced a bill on Monday that urged the District of Columbia to rename the Black Lives Matter Plaza or have the U.S. Congress withhold federal transportation funds. Republicans hold a majority in both chambers of Congress. Bowser, a Democrat, has been a vocal critic over the years of Republican President Donald Trump....

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Officers Cameron Girvin and Christopher Reese were working the midnight traffic patrol shift late Friday night when they noticed a car with an expired inspection sticker and attempted to pull it over. After the driver of the blue Hyundai Sonata failed to stop, the officers continued to follow the vehicle into a townhouse complex near the intersection of Lynnhaven Parkway and Wendfield Drive, in the Green Run area, according to Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate . Both officers approached the car after it stopped and asked the driver to get out, Neudigate said. The man,...

Scientific journals emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries as the principal way in which scientists and the public shared scientific ideas and discoveries. Journals met the need for dissemination of research results so that the scientific community could challenge, debate, test, replicate, and refine scientific claims. Timely publication of studies in so-called peer-reviewed journals became an essential step in obtaining scientific knowledge. Journal papers are foundational building blocks in the political and legal realm. Scientific studies, peer reviewed and published in journals, are necessarily relied upon by expert witnesses in their opinions in judicial proceedings, as well as in...

Army recruiting ad under Trump: masculine dude working out saying strong people are harder to kill

Thoughts?

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The brother of the late New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, was sentenced Friday for threatening to carry out a shooting at the University of Connecticut and to kill three people outside of the state, including a judge, in 2023.

BLM and other black mayors go on huge spending sprees using tax payer dollars, including Vegas trips and trips to Africa. One black mayor even went on a nice little burglary adventure and got caught and arrested. Chuckle. Why do black people usually vote for the most corrupt people they can find? Worth watching. Its a huge laugh. Only 15 minutes.

Julia Roberts, one of the most famous and influential donors to the Democratic Party, is suddenly upset about the looting going on in Los Angeles following the horrific wildfires that have swept the city. Here's what she posted on Instagram: Of course, looting is wrong. But isn't it weird that Julia Roberts suddenly reached this conclusion after years of endorsing riots that weren't in her own neighborhood? Remember, this is the same Julia Roberts who supported Black Lives Matter, the movement that was behind waves of riots in 2020 that caused billions in damaged property. For just one example, here's...

A white Democratic governor issues an obviously illegal order. A white Democratic Secretary of State issues a patently inaccurate, and wholly unauthorized, “legal opinion.” And Democratic legislators agree to boycott a legislative session en masse, all in a desperate attempt to prevent the first black Speaker of the House in their state’s history from taking office. We’ve seen this story before. It’s Mississippi in the 1960s, right? No, actually: it’s Minnesota in 2025. Scott and I have written about the Minnesota Democrats’ illegal power grab–really, an attempted coup–in which they hope to take control over the Minnesota House of Representatives,...

The scale of support on college campuses for militant antisemitism and even for Hamas barbarism has alarmed most Americans, but there’s something else here that ought to trouble us, too: a startling ignorance of the most basic facts of Middle Eastern history. These are college students being educated on renowned campuses—yet they know virtually nothing about the matter they are protesting. How can that be? Let’s begin by asking what a serious education about the conflict in the Middle East would look like. At a minimum, we would expect students to have a basic grasp of the case made by...
