The first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve board, Ms. Cook has long been a pathbreaker in a field dominated by white men.Years before Lisa Cook became President Trump’s latest target in his effort to exert control over the Federal Reserve, she wrote about her experience as one of a relative handful of Black women in a field long dominated by white men.“Economics is neither a welcoming nor a supportive profession for women,” she and a colleague wrote in a New York Times opinion essay in 2019. She added, “But if economics is hostile to women, it is...

The family of one of the Cincinnati brawlers claimed the only reason the fight has garnered so much attention was because the person punched in the face is a white woman.

Gruesome photos show the severely bruised and battered face of the woman who was knocked out during a horrifying now-viral Cincinnati brawl. “This is Holly,” wrote Ohio Senator Bernardo Moreno as he shared the harrowing images of the victim who was filmed being beaten so badly he “thought she had been killed.” “She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this,” Moreno wrote of the gruesome injuries from the vicious beatdown on a Cincinnati street last Saturday. Five people have since been charged after footage of the attack quickly went viral. The video appeared to...

The head of the NYPD’s Aviation Unit was booted from the elite squad this week after trying to block the feds from probing his dangerous mishaps, The Post has learned. Aviation’s Commanding Officer Winston Faison was an “incompetent boob” who had numerous breaches in safety as he attempted to make himself the unit’s head helicopter instructor, whistleblowers revealed. When FAA inspectors made a surprise visit to the base on July 16 because of internal complaints to the agency, Faison flipped his lid, police sources said. “Do not give them anything!’” he barked at his cops, an insider said. “Who let...

"BREAKING: Active shooter described as a “middle eastern man” opened fire at police in Manhattan"

CNN’s Erin Burnett is being skewered for reporting that the gunman who opened fire in a Midtown skyscraper — killing an NYPD cop and three others — was “possibly white” after viewing the initial security footage released immediately after Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage. In the photos first shared online, the suit-clad Tamura, 27, was captured in broad daylight walking into 345 Park Avenue with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle in his hand. CNN host Erin Burnett said that police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday evening. The chilling...

A Democratic congressional candidate was forcibly removed from the Texas State Capitol Thursday and arrested after he filibustered a hearing on redistricting in the Lone Star State. “It is a shame.

Martin is seeking to replace the late Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-Texas), who died on March 5, as the Texas’ 18th Congressional District representative. The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed...

Not only will DEI gradually destroy a critical institution of public safety, but at some point it will also destroy the lives that the institution is charged to protect. Similar to the flood itself, the tragedy of the high waters sweeping through the Central Texas Hill Country has violently ebbed and flowed from the public consciousness. At the last count, the death toll has reached 135 souls, at least a dozen of them little girls at a Christian camp. True to the spirit of the times, the disaster soon degenerated into yet another game of partisan mudslinging. Of course, leftists...

Just one African-American candidate will appear on the ballot for Mayor of Mobile. Lawrence Battiste and Jermaine Burrell withdrew from the race Wednesday and officially endorsed Barbara Drummond. “This moment we’re in calls for unity,” said Burrell, a former Mobile city councilman. Battiste, a former police chief, says polling showed that none of the three black candidates was likely to make a runoff. “You need to position yourself to be one or two,” Battiste said. “If you’re not one or two, it doesn’t matter. Number three is the first loser. So, the goal is how do we come together and...

The company allegedly required managers to reward employees “on the basis of their skin color alone and contrary to documented performance.” Many believe that masculine industries, such as military and defense, are naturally immune to left-wing race and gender ideologies. This is mostly a myth. These institutions are organized according to prestige and profit—and when those signals point to “woke,” industry leaders have dutifully followed. Take America’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin. As we have previously reported, after the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Lockheed adopted radical DEI policies and, in one instance, required white men in leadership...

Here's NewsNation's Brian Entin reporting on an anonymous USDA whistleblower who is exposing the Biden regime's racism. Brian Entin @BrianEntin I met with a USDA whistleblower. He says the Biden administration forgave farm loans for only non-white farmers and when they were told it was illegal, continued to secretly do it. Kept it "hushed for the obvious implications of race based loan forgivingness." Full story: VIDEO AT LINK............. "It was to pay off anyone who wasn't a white male's loan. That was the only qualification for this loan forgiveness." That's all that it took to be qualified?? "They were trying...
