After the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his Saturday campaign rally, one Baltimore, Maryland professor is claiming that she and other Black Americans justifiedly wish that the attempt to kill “evil” Trump had been successful. In a July 15 opinion piece published by NewsOne, Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Morgan State University, wrote of hypotheticals surrounding a successful attempt, stating that Black Americans “are wishing for the death of evil”. The piece, titled “‘Is He Dead?’ Why Black People Are Not Grieving The Failed Assassination Of Donald Trump”, explores how Black Americans would supposedly have responded...

Democrats’ abrupt and desperate move to ditch incumbent President Joe Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate and instead coronate Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket is already showing signs of backfiring on their party and playing right into GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s hands.First and foremost, the mad dash by Democrats over the past several weeks since the late June debate between Trump and Biden to force the reluctant-to-drop-out Biden out of the race severely weakened Biden’s standing to the point where he basically had no choice politically but to drop. Then, when Biden...

The left-wing organization Black Lives Matter is resisting the installation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee and are calling on the Democratic National Convention "to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates." In a statement Tuesday, the group, which rose to prominence in 2020 for organizing nationwide protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, said that "a 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of." For weeks after his...

Black Lives Matter (BLM) urged the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to organize a nationwide virtual primary on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly secured enough delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Harris claimed early Tuesday morning that she had obtained enough support from DNC delegates to be voted the party’s presidential nominee, following President Joe Biden stepping down from the race and endorsing Harris. BLM, which exploded in prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020, said in a statement that while President Joe Biden wasn’t their top choice as a candidate, they cannot overlook the concerning actions...

In Monday's interview on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) offered his perspective on the sudden shift in the Democratic presidential race, criticizing media pressure on President Joe Biden while holding off on an immediate endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Sanders, who had previously supported Biden's reelection bid, expressed concern about the media's role in pushing the President out of the race. The Vermont senator's hesitation to immediately endorse Harris stands in contrast to the wave of support she has received from within the Democratic Party. "Vice President Harris has now been endorsed by at least 41...

Ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called for CNN to fire one of their most prominent political commentators for juxtaposing former President Trump and President Biden in a way that put the Republican in a positive light. In the weeks following Biden’s widely criticized performance in the presidential debate, the president’s supporters have feuded with his critics who are calling for him to step down in lieu of another candidate.

More than 1,400 Black women and allies have indicated their support for President Biden and Vice President Harris in a letter released Thursday. Highlighting the fact that millions of Americans cast ballots for Biden and Harris in the primary, the women said attempts to change the ticket “disregard” and “circumvent the will of millions of voters who participated in a democratic process.” “The suggestion that any candidate who won their primary should simply step aside because victory appears difficult at the moment is disrespectful to the voters, unjust and undemocratic,” the women wrote. The letter is signed by Black powerhouses...

The mother of a first grader punished for handing an “innocent” drawing with the phrases “black lives matter” and “any life” to a classmate of color is appealing to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals after a lower court ruling declared first-grade students are too young to be protected by the First Amendment. After a first grade lesson on Martin Luther King Jr. and Black Lives Matter, a student who felt bad for her classmate of color drew a picture for that classmate to allegedly help the classmate feel more included. The picture had the phrase “Black Lives Mater” (sic)...

Prominent academic and New York Times columnist John McWhorter has declared it would be a good thing somebody assassinated former President Donald Trump. In a new episode of “The Glenn Show” with Brown University economics professor Glenn Loury, McWhorter said, “I have taken a great deal of heat for saying, for implying, that I wish somebody would kill Donald Trump.”

I will do all that I can to see that President Biden is re-elected. Why? Despite my disagreements with him on particular issues, he has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump — a demagogue and pathological liar. It’s time to learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite profound political differences, came together this week to soundly defeat right-wing extremism. I strongly disagree with Mr. Biden on the question of U.S. support for Israel’s horrific war against the Palestinian people....

VIDEOA pro-Palestine protestor inadvertently revealed what Team Biden and, at least until recently, the news media has been hiding from the public. Namely the pathetically LOW turnout for Joe Biden rallies. The protestor at his Detroit rally in a high school gym performed her accidental public service by forcing at least one camera to turn around to focus in on her while at the same time showing the hilariously LOW turnout. Yes, Biden's rally when focused only on the stage seemed impressive. About 200 people behind Biden giving the impression there could be THOUSANDS in the audience. However, as you...

How can Americans trust the medical establishment when it openly engages in openly ideological bias? Together with 51,269,999 others, I watched the Trump-Biden debate on Thursday, June 27, 2024. I also paid attention to the obligatory spin from both sides. In addition to the usual talking head commentary, the Biden side released information about Joe’s health during his encounter with Trump. Based upon that narrow, self-serving information, one medical publication embarked upon an entire essay of uniformed Biden apologetics. The Hill: “President Biden has a cold, a White House official told The Hill amid the first presidential debate.” The Wall...

Sky News host Rita Panahi reacts to Vice President Kamala Harris turning up her cringe to “atomic levels” during an appearance on Comedy Central.

A delegate for President Joe Biden’s reelection effort warned on Monday that black women will abandon the party if Democrats replace the presumptive nominee with another “white man” instead of Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden spoke with a raspy voice and trailed off during the Thursday debate with former President Donald Trump, leading Americans to express concerns about his age and fitness for another four years as president. Areva Martin, an attorney and California delegate for Biden for President, said on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” that Democrats should “stay the course” with the president and that passing over Harris...

O.J. Simpson, the Hall of Fame football player whose life took a dramatic turn after his 1994 murder trial, has died at the age of 76. Simpson’s family confirmed that he passed away on Wednesday after a battle with cancer.

Okay, we had no idea Denzel Washington was starring in “Gladiator 2,” but Vanity Fair has unveiled new first-look photos, and now we’re hooked. The images feature Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington. “Gladiator 2” will be released from Paramount Pictures on November 22, 2024. Check out a snapshot of the film’s characters in the film’s story that takes place well after the original Russell Crowe story: Paul Mescal is Lucius, Maximums’ son from the first film, who hasn’t been seen in 15 years and is presumed dead. This likely leads into him becoming a gladiator where,...

Kamala Harris’s team is concerned that Democrats will install a white candidate ahead of her to replace Joe Biden, arguing that it would be “offensive” to black voters to overlook her should the president stand aside. Mr Biden is facing calls to step back from the race over concerns about his age, after a disastrous television debate performance against Donald Trump on Thursday. The Biden campaign, which is a joint ticket between the US president and Ms Harris, has dismissed calls for him to step aside for a younger candidate. However, allies of Ms Harris are frustrated that she has...

"Theses ungrateful people" - Colombian immigrant running for Missouri office tells black people to leave the U.S. if they don't like the country - backlash ensues. On her social media page, she belittled Juneteenth and criticized reparations. They are being shoved down our throats. They should be celebrating being born in the greatest nation. Straight White men built roads, buildings, and declared independence

Bodycam footage released by the Atlanta Police Department shows a Georgia judge being arrested for simple battery against a police officer and obstruction on June 20. Douglas County probate judge Christina Peterson allegedly got physical with an officer while he was trying to de-escalate a situation between security and a female outside the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge. Peterson told one of her friends to “record, please,” as if body-worn cameras did not already record the entire incident. Peterson’s attorney, Marvin Arrington Jr., characterizes the situation as a good deed gone wrong, questioning why the other person involved wasn't arrested...
