It was just like the old days: As New York wrestles with a race-tinged tragedy, Al Sharpton sends a nastygram. SNIP Yet Friday’s race-baiting, however deplorable, is also ironic. It may have benefited Sharpton’s interests — and certainly his ego — but it also undercut a black mayor struggling to govern an increasingly unstable city. Indeed, government in New York — even in Albany — is now overwhelmingly run by black, brown or otherwise minority incumbents. How does racializing a crisis help them?

Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) got the nickname ‘the dumbest man in Congress’ for saying Guam would tip over and capsize due to overpopulation. No one thought he could top that but he did today. Johnson was talking about the migrant crisis and said that Republicans would “gladly” bring back slavery during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Johnson said: “Republicans like to see them migrants lined up at the border because they know that that’s a stream of labor ready to be exploited with cheap, if any, compensation. “I mean, if you could get back to slavery, you would...

“It reignites the terror in the souls of Black folks when we witness these killings of our people without trial, without jury, without adjudication,” one psychologist said. In the moments before New York City subway entertainer Jordan Neely was killed on an F train in lower Manhattan in the middle of the day, a witness said he had been yelling, asking for food and saying that he didn’t care if he went to jail. For Donald Grant, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, the deadly act represents a white vigilantism that has become an ever-present threat to Black Americans, manifested...

Kansas City, Mo. Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) said early Wednesday that the recent shooting of 16-year-old Ralph Yarl “has everything to do with race.” Police say Yarl was shot twice by Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old white homeowner, after the Black teenager accidentally went to the wrong address to pick up his younger brothers. “This defendant, in the probable cause statement, is indicated to have said that he was afraid of Ralph because he is a tall, Black man,” Lucas told “CNN This Morning” on Wednesday. “He thought he was in some way menacing or scary. I don’t think that was...

Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. But it was also expected that the people they picked for a hypothetical lunar mission would be leftists who hate America. Their experiments will likely consist of measuring equity on the moon and claiming that low-gravity environments have a disproportionate impact on people of color. And this garbage is starting early. Really early. NASA astronaut Victor Glover, recently named as the pilot of the Artemis II mission around the Moon, listens to Gil Scott-Heron’s poem “Whitey on the Moon” twice a week on the way to work....

Rep. Athena Hollins, DFL-St. Paul, who is “openly pansexual,” said in an interview that American history should make white kids “feel bad.” “What I’ve been told when I talk to people is that white kids feel bad about what happened in the past,” Hollins said. “And I said they should. They should feel bad. It was terrible what happened.”

WAUKESHA, Wis. -- Darrell Brooks is being ordered to pay more in restitution to the victims of the Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy, with an escrow account ensuring any money he earns -- including any money he might make in media rights deals -- goes to repaying what he owes. Brooks had already been ordered to pay a total of $124,222.65 to Crime Victim Compensation and $47,193.29 to compensate the insurance company for the Waukesha School District, but a restitution hearing held Thursday added more money on top of those totals. On Thursday, Brooks was ordered to pay an additional $10,246.20...

Vice President Kamala Harris defended two Tennessee Democratic legislators who were expelled — and quickly reinstated — after leading a rowdy pro-gun control protest with bullhorns on the floor of the state House of Representatives last month. Harris told the National Action Network’s annual convention in Harlem Friday that a “bullhorn becomes necessary” when “extremists” won’t listen. Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican, accused the Democrats of “doing an insurrection in the Capitol” and led his caucus in expelling them for the disruption, invoking terminology used by critics of former President Donald Trump to describe the violent riot by...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) once claimed he had only a "vague recollection" of and hadn't looked at the anti-Semitic speeches made by his uncle in the 1990s, but a 1992 editorial by the Democratic leader uncovered by CNN shows he defended his uncle, his comments, and notorious anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Jeffries’s uncle, Leonard Jeffries, faced backlash in the 1990s for his comments accusing "rich Jews" of being responsible for the slave trade and alleging the existence of "a conspiracy, planned and plotted" by Jewish executives in Hollywood to portray black people poorly. Farrakhan...

Tennessee Rep. Gloria Johnson (D) said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that she hears racist statements “all the time” in the Tennessee State House. Johnson said racism was the reason her two black colleagues, Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled, and she was spared. Co-host Don Lemon said, “You’ve been very in front after the vote last week that you felt race played a role in Jones and Pearson’s removal. But there are some of your Republican colleagues were saying in their estimation that it wasn’t race. That you argued, your attorney argued to the contrary that you...

Georgetown University is set to require “social justice” courses on the school’s history of racism and slavery for its undergraduate students, starting next semester.

A $1 million donation from liberal billionaire George Soros to a political action committee that backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has come under the spotlight as the Democrat weighs indicting former President Donald Trump. Trump may soon face an indictment in connection to alleged hush money payments he made in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels, who has said the two had a sexual relationship. Soros donated $1 million in May 2021 to Color of Change, a racial justice PAC that later used the money to support Bragg in his successful district attorney bid against Republican Thomas Kenniff, a...

Colin Kaepernick accuses white adoptive parents of ‘problematic’ upbringing, perpetuating racism Controversial football star Colin Kaepernick accused his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism in a new interview. The former NFL star told CBS Chicago he struggled growing up in a “problematic” household, a throughline he details in his upcoming graphic novel, “Change the Game.” “I know my parents loved me, but there were still very problematic things that I went through,” Kaepernick said. “It was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home, and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is...

A House committee on fossil fuels went off the rails Wednesday after Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush accused one of the witnesses of being racist. Bush began her opening statement criticizing the oil industry before turning her attention toward an unidentified witness. “If House Republicans actually cared about preventing an energy and economic crisis from happening, they would commit to investing in renewable energy. Unfortunately, there are no serious proposals being offered. Rising inflation, caused by Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19 related supply chain shortages, combined with dangerous corporate greed and reliance on fossil fuels, has left the...

He claims he can summon tornadoes at will, cause earthquakes with his hate, and conduct blood rituals to bring ruin upon his enemies. An intergalactic master of psychic self-defense born 109 trillion years ago, his days, he says, are now spent tending to his crops and spreading anti-Semitic conspiracies. Nathaniel Davis III also happens to be Rep. Cori Bush’s (D., Mo.) close friend and her highest-paid private security guard. Davis has earned over $137,000 providing "security services" for Bush since 2020, according to FEC filings, the latest of which showed disbursements of $5,000 in Dec. 2022. Using dozens of social...
