Candace Owens warmed up the crowd of several hundred African-Americans, predominantly young. She was her usual fiery and fact-filled self. Here, she denounces CNN and other media who lied about last year’s Summit, falsely describing those who participated as “paid puppets.”Press coverage of this year’s Summit was predictably warped, as well. Jake Tapper is perhaps the best of the feeble Washington press corps, but like the others he is loyal to his party. His comment on the Summit was a foolish, snarky tweet to which Candace responded appropriately: Candace Owens ✔ @RealCandaceO Today I spoke at the White House about...

Candace Owens joined Turning Point USA’s 2019 Black Leadership Summit on Friday at the White House where she discussed black voters’ “blind allegiance” to the Democrat Party.

(AP) -- New Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. will embark soon on a communitywide plan to address gun violence in the city.

NPR and Fox News commentator Juan Williams is a certified liberal — so liberal some have called him the black Alan Colmes, the liberal half of Fox’s Hannity and Colmes. When he writes a book you’d expect the liberal media to fall all over each other to be the first to review his book and have him as a guest on network radio and TV. That hasn’t happened, however, because his book “Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America — and What We Can Do About It,” has crossed the boundary of...

A book written with truth, wisdom and insight shouldn't be revolutionary.  Unfortunately, reporting facts about black America can be downright subversive.  In his new book, , Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson ("the other Jesse") tells it like it is.  He is the founder and president of the successful non-profit  (BOND), whose purpose is "rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man".Rarely do I come across writing as brutally honest as my own when dealing with the black community.  Liberals in general won't like it, liberal blacks in particular will hate it, and conservatives will wonder what took so long.  SCAM is a...

LIAR, LIAR! LOS ANGELES - Former President Bill Clinton delivered a pro-Democrat message from the pulpit of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church (First AME) in Los Angeles on Sunday morning, in support of embattled incumbent California Governor Gray Davis. The former president, who was impeached for lying under oath about his affair with a White House intern urged blacks to forgive the mistakes Davis “may” have made in handling California’s economy and the 2000 energy crisis, and to vote against the October 7 recall election.

Should Republicans Bypass Traditional Black leadership? At the 93rd annual NAACP convention on July 9, President Bush came under heavy attack by a virtual parade of black civil rights leaders. They were incensed because the President had decided not to attend their meeting. Speaker after speaker accused Bush of ignoring blacks' concerns and pandering to the far right. Jesse Jackson told the convention. "Today we have a government that is enfranchised by miscounted or uncounted votes. Even though it lost the election, it operates as if it has a mandate to take our rights.” NAACP board chairman Julian Bond said,...
