Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted this week that she used the group’s $6 million property to host personal parties, igniting further suspicions of BLM leaders misusing funds for personal gain. Cullors made the admission in an interview with the AP, in which she denied overt wrongdoing when it came to the mountain of funds the group received after the George Floyd protests in 2020. While she admitted that the group was ill-prepared to handle the wave of funds, leaders ultimately purchased a $6 million compound in Los Angles, which has continued to spark criticism:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — No, insists Patrisse Cullors, former leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation: Despite allegations of financial improprieties, neither she nor anyone else in leadership misused millions of dollars in donations. But in an interview with The Associated Press, Cullors acknowledged that BLM was ill-prepared to handle a tidal wave of contributions in the aftermath of protests over George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police in 2020. She said the foundation was slow to build the necessary groundwork. She and others offered insights into the growing pains of an organization that went from...

A prominent trans activist whose harrowing story of gender identity discrimination was featured in The New York Times is facing 16 felony charges related to the sexual abuse and extortion of a teen boy. Carlos Arturo Aparicio Hernandez, 36, was charged last week with aggravated sexual extortion and six counts of forcible sodomy as first-degree felonies, and three counts of forcible sexual abuse, enticing a minor, and five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor as second-degree felonies ⁠— all concerning the 2021 abuse of a teenage boy. In January of last year, the 15-year-old victim accepted a friend request...

Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy has a monthly column on the team website where he answers questions from fans and shareholders. It generally appears to be softball questions like any fun events planned for the shareholders meeting and the Paul McCartney concert was awesome, but for some reason this month's edition also featured an absolutely wild letter from a shareholder named Marilyn. She does not waste time getting to her point. Via Packers.com: A question from Marilyn, a longtime Packer fan and shareholder: "Out of the 11 players drafted by the Packers in the 2022 NFL Draft...

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is paying a price for authoring a draft opinion that was leaked last week in which he and four other justices appear to be on the verge of overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. For the sake of safety, Alito has reportedly been moved to a location that will not be revealed, according to Breitbart. Last week, Alito canceled an appearance at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ judicial conference. Although no official reason was given for the cancellation, the move came only days after fierce protests greeted the leak of...

A group of radical pro-abortion activists blocked the entrance to Manhattan’s Basilica of Saint Patrick’s Old Cathedral days after a U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion leaked that signaled the Court will overturn Roe v. Wade. Pro-Life Catholics in the community have gathered for Mass and a rosary procession to a Planned Parenthood one block away from the church nearly every month for the past 14 years to protest this nation’s abortion laws. However, the group of Catholics were met by pro-abortion activists who blocked the church doors on Saturday.

Antifa on Thursday reportedly attacked a pregnancy center in Portland just days after the Supreme Court leaked a document that revealed Roe v. Wade may be overturned. “Antifa pro-abort men are attacking and putting out hits on pregnancy centers in Portland, OR,” Lila Rose reported. The bad actors reportedly wrote “F*** CPCs” (Crisis Pregnancy Center) and “bashed the windows” of the facility: The reported attack comes a few days after the Supreme Court leaked a document that revealed Roe v. Wade may be overturned. The news of the leak has angered the left. On the east coast, leftist activists are...

Violent Antifa activists are active again in Portland and Seattle, inspired by a leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision this week reversing Roe v. Wade. Neither city is ready for a repeat of Black Lives Matter-inspired left-wing riots and vandalism. But Antifa is now more dangerous than ever. Antifa operates most effectively during left-wing movements where they rely on partisan media outlets and like-minded politicians to either justify or ignore their violence. It’s one reason why they pose an enormous threat as pro-abortion activists take to the streets to protest a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Liberals are preparing to riot in the streets this summer to make sure that the daily sacrifice to their god Molech doesn’t experience any meaningful disruption. President Joe Biden called the ‘MAGA crowd’ the ‘most extreme political organization in American history’ in a full-throated attack on Republicans and their ‘ultra-MAGA’ agenda in a speech from the White House on Wednesday. He also warned that the GOP could ban LGBT children from classrooms if Roe v. Wade is overturned and signaled they could even reverse the 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut case that struck down a state law banning the use of...

Award-winning journalist, TV host, and author Skip Bayless reacts to the news that former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, who coached the team from 1999 to 2004 and again from 2005 to 2011, will advise the Lakers in their search for a new head coach after Frank Vogel was fired: “It feels like Jeanie Buss just fired LeBron [James] as the unofficial GM of the Lakers. It feels like she’s angry about the Westbrook debacle and is bringing back Phil Jackson into the fold.”

I've said it before, and I say it again. The 1619 Project is a lie from the pit of hell. It has prostituted one of the most ghastly and hideously loathsome promoters of the continued Marxian objectives of Democrats since their demonic origins. The 1619 Project was invented by Nikole Hannah-Jones and is based upon what she has openly admitted are lies. She tweeted: "The fight over the 1619 Project is not about [factual] history. It is about memory. I've always said that the 1619 Project is not a history. It is a work of journalism that explicitly seeks to...

The resource-strapped Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reportedly took more than 20 minutes to respond when alleged antifa members assaulted a Saturday campaign event near police headquarters in downtown Portland.By the time officers had "sufficient resources" to establish a crime scene near Southwest 3rd and Main Street, the black-clad demonstrators had already dispersed after hurling smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons and fireworks, according to police. Two were injured by "mortars," police said.The protesters' violence cut short the event in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Stan Pulliam, whose platform includes refunding the police."This is what happens when a Republican dares to hold an...

I have to say I enjoy the smell of liberal tears in the morning. Or afternoon, evening or night. Those tears are flooding the airwaves and it's fabulous- and sad at the same time. Progressives have pushed people too far with their lunatic actions and people are getting weary of it. The horse is dead, but they continue to beat it. They've run out of cogent thoughts and arguments (which were in short supply anyway), so leftists whip out the sad little things they have in hopes of keeping you down under their thumbs of guilt. The race card. The...

Democrats like to complain that as president, Donald Trump sought to politicize the Justice Department. But on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday morning, a blatant appeal was made to Biden's Justice Department, and his Attorney General Merrick Garland, to "help" Democrats win the midterms by indicting Trump and Republican members of Congress. It doesn't get much more politicized than that! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

TEXAS—The majority vote in public comment chose to favor proposed policies that will put guardrails on social-emotional learning (SEL) programs and prohibit critical race theory (CRT) teachings for the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD), following a board meeting on April 25.Board members Casey Ford and Shannon Braun proposed the policy (pdf) based on what Ford said was input from the community.After an antagonistic discussion about procedural issues—how the policy was presented, how the draft was written, and if it should be discussed that night or in a later committee—the board agreed to evaluate the policy further. A total of 40...
