Democrats aiming to buy Black votes by promising to force non-blacks to pay them damages for the injustices of slavery were stunned by the opposition of two Blacks testifying at a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee. Columnist Coleman Hughes opposed reparations, saying that they “would insult black Americans, further divide the country, and insult descendants of slaves victims without their consent.” His testimony was roundly booed by Democrats attending the hearing, prompting Chairman Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) to put down his piece of fried chicken long enough to ask the audience to “chill. Granted, this is unorthodox testimony coming...

Los Angeles and Seattle are in chaos. As is San Francisco. It is the result of the left in charge. They feel the East Coast, no matter what will vote Democrat. So why fix things? In Los Angeles, rodents have decided to go upscale and move into City Hall. That’s rather fitting. However, one would think that LAPD’s headquarters being cited by the state for its health violations would be an embarrassment. Wouldn’t it?

VIDEO OUCH! I was attempting to discuss my upcoming live streams of the Democrat candidate debates in Miami on June 26 and 27. However, Teddy the Golden Retriever who is an unashamed attention hog (or dog), got jealous of me paying attention to the camera and decided to completely upstage me, first with a few nips at my feet and then biting my arm and drawing blood. While I was struggling with Teddy, the volume was knocked out on my camera in about the final minute and a half. Perhaps that is a good thing because you don't have to...

America: There Will Be Blood “THERE WILL BE BLOOD” - dailymail.co.uk Date: June 23, 2019 “Islam is a belief of blood. It lives and thrives on blood. It can be animal blood, enemy blood or even its own blood. “Unless our government sees the handwriting on the wall and deals with it accordingly, before very long, America will have to turn its deed over to the new Muslim invaders or rebel and fight block by block, city by city. “That’s when There Will Be Blood.” —Article Below: <<————————————>> ARTICLE APPEARED FIRST IN CAPITOLOUTSIDER.COM, BY: capitolhilloutsider.com/author/amil-imani/ By Amil Imani: The Muslims’...

A fact that is conveniently overlooked by those calling for reparations. The 13th Amendment did not free all slaves in the boundaries of modern-day US. Members of five Native American nations, the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole Nations (known as the Five Tribes), owned black slaves. Located outside the territorial boundaries of the US in a region known as Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma), these sovereign nations were not affected by proclamations or constitutional amendments. Instead, separate treaties had to be made between the US and these Native American nations not only to free slaves, but also to formally end...

Say what you want about his politics but the easy listening stuff he plays makes me hunger for more of the electric like Running on Empty/Dr. My Eyes. Unfortunately he never seemed to strive for the big time by producing more of any music.

“Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?” – Raymond Donovan The media had a field day painting Donovan, Reagan’s former Secretary of Labor, as a mafia stooge after he had been indicted on corruption charges in 1985 for his work with a construction company accused of having mob ties. The only problem was the charges didn’t hold up, in fact they spectacularly imploded. Donovan’s attorneys rested their case without ever calling a single witness, contending the prosecution failed to prove Donovan did anything wrong. The jury agreed, and Donovan was acquitted (along with all the...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Oh, so they have to lie, then? – The week started with former Colorado Governor and current hopeless presidential candidate John Hickenlooper becoming so distraught about his party’s race to the farthest extent of the far, far, far, far left that he felt the need to tell an interviewer that “I feel strongly that Democrats have to draw a clear line and say, ‘We are not socialists.'” Not a good look, Dems. Sunday also saw yet another smear strategy against President Donald Trump die an ugly death. Trump had...

The tension between President Donald Trump's bellicose rhetoric and his non-interventionist foreign policy instincts was on full display Thursday afternoon as he huddled in the Situation Room. Lawmakers in the room watched as the weight of his duties as commander-in-chief bore down on him, lives hanging in the balance. Trump did not tip his hand on which way he was leaning, focusing instead on "drilling down" on the differing perspectives and arguments leveled by the assembled lawmakers, Senate Foreign Relations Chairman James Risch said. But it was clear, the Idaho Republican said, that Trump is a president who "doesn't want...

“God’s Green New Deal: From Slaves to Sons” (Galatians 3:23 – 4:7) Earlier this year a certain congressperson from New York proposed what she called a “Green New Deal.” She was picking up on the term “New Deal,” thus indicating a massive expansion of government programs. And she combined it with the word “Green,” because she thought this new deal would help the environment. Well, in one sense, it would have been a green new deal, because it would have taken a lot of green, as in trillions and trillions of tax dollars. Well, her Green New Deal came up...

The Yacht Rock playlist is rapidly expanding over at the juggernaut Yacht Rock channel (ch. 70) on Sirius/XM, which is said by some to be the most listened to channel on the satellite radio network. Yacht Rock is a relatively newly coined genre of music that is used to describe a breezy, smooth set of pop songs - mostly recorded between the years of 1976-1984 - that are conducive to listen to while on a boat and not just yachts, but schooners, skiffs, catamarans and sailboats. Pontoon boats, not so much (refer to country music). We are talking upscale boating...

The wide gender gap in American politics is not just down to what women want MEN have long tended to favour Republican candidates; women have voted more for the “mommy party” than men in every election since 1992. Yet the gap now looks like a chasm. In 1992 women and men disagreed over which party they identified with by 11 points. The margin has since widened to 23 points (see chart). For comparison, Donald Trump won white voters by 21 points in 2016 and lost Hispanics by 36 points. It is no mystery why so many women are abandoning the...

The corridors leading up to the Alabama Senate are lined with black-and-white photographs of past legislative sessions - each framed poster like a yearbook page from a distinctly male-only school. But inside the dim public gallery, looking down onto the Senate floor, many of the seats are filled by women. They are young and old, some in suits and some in bright shirts with pro-choice slogans emblazoned across the front. They watch the drama play out in the chamber below, as a handful of Democrats and an even smaller number of women make clear their outrage over the abortion ban...

The Yellow Vests on the streets of Paris and marching and rallying in other locations in France today with a reported 25 percent increase in numbers from last week according to the "Yellow Number" Facebook page. The government's Yellow Vest estimate this week was 11,800, up from 7,000 last week. In Paris 1100 Yellow Vests reported today.....

What is clear is the prospect of further damage to the UN's already shaky credibility Three cases of human rights abuses reared their ugly head again this week. The United Nations’ role has been called into question, including the responses of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to the criticisms. The first human rights case involves Myanmar. The Free Rohingya Coalition criticized Secretary General Guterres and former UN Resident Coordinator in Myanmar Renata Lok-Dessallien for failing to safeguard thousands of Rohingya, an ethnic Muslim minority, in Myanmar. The group cited the findings in a 36-page official report entitled “A brief and...

In the days ahead, Biden will continue to make embarrassing gaffes, move further to the left politically, apologize for previous statements and attempt to pacify his critics Since his entry into the race, confident supporters of former Vice President Joe Biden have been predicting his ascension to the White House and an easy victory over President Trump next year. They point to polls which show Biden leading his Democratic opponents in his march toward the nomination and defeating President Trump in a hypothetical 2020 election matchup. The problem with this analysis is that Joe Biden is a very flawed candidate....

Trammell Crow Co. (TCC) filed details of a proposed one million-square-foot, four-building office campus in Plano, TX’s Legacy business park. If approved, the 18.5-acre project will boast office buildings measuring between 12 and 25 stories on Legacy Drive, near the Dallas North Tollway. The proposed project plans are in the hands of Plano’s planning and zoning commission. While the property is zoned for high-rise office construction, TCC would like minor changes, which would allow buildings to be placed closer to Legacy Drive. Local brokers told the Dallas Morning News that TCC is already scoping out potential tenants for the first...

The House Armed Services Committee is preparing a budget mark-up statement that would restore funding for planned upgrades to Army Chinook CH-47F helicopters at Boeing Corp.'s Ridley Township military aircraft factory for at least a year, and urge Army leaders to commit to the program in the long term. In a statement, obtained by The Inquirer, the committee complains that the military’s Future Years Defense Program doesn’t fund “Block II” Chinook upgrades, as the previous year’s budget did. So it is asking for an extra $28 million to keep the upgrade program active during the next five years, adding that...

SARDIS, Miss. (AP) — A Florida company that makes organic fertilizer supplements will open a north Mississippi factory, investing $8 million and hiring 25 people. Humic Growth Solutions says it has bought a building in Sardis and plans to begin making and distributing products there by February.
