The son of Elton’s embattled mayor is now being investigated for attacking the whistleblower who brought election discrepancies to light. Roderick Williams first spoke out to 7News about his concerns about what he saw as voting irregularities in the race for Elton mayor. We did our own investigation and found instances where voters who had a homestead exemption in another parish were still voting in Jeff Davis. We also found people registering to vote using empty lots or vacant homes as their addresses. Since we started, nearly two dozen people had their voting registration challenged and 12 were removed from...

A man stabbed to death during a vicious Chelsea street brawl was wanted for murder in Baltimore, sources told The Post. The victim, 36, was knifed by another man Friday morning during a wild broad-daylight melee in the middle of a crosswalk, where they settled their score as non-plussed New Yorkers went about their business, according to a video of the face-off. Nisean Graves, 34, a homeless man, was later charged with murder in the fatal encounter and was held without bail during a Saturday appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court. Video shows Graves instigating the unprovoked confrontation by taking a...

The woke war on the past reaches historic proportions.After canceling most people who lived in the last two centuries for not being sufficiently accepting of the current dogma, woke academia has turned its attention to the distant past.After accusing Isaac Newton and Robert Burns of being complicit in slavery, the British woke war on the past has gone bigger. Edinburgh University had already renamed David Hume Tower after Black Lives Matter activists accused the philosopher, born in 1711, of racism. The Sir Francis Drake Primary School had to change its name and William Gladstone is next.But even when you get...

Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream, which previously gave the cold shoulder to police officers, is suing the City of Seattle for losses it alleges resulted from the decision by officials in the summer of 2020 to abandon the Police Department’s East Precinct in response to the George Floyd riots which led to the creation of a “government-authorized invasion," the deadly anti-police Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), later renamed the Capitol Hill Occupied protest (CHOP). According to the federal lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington on Wednesday, the chain claimed that its constitutional rights...

This is one of those story titles that makes you go, “Is this for real?” But then you actually open it up and realize it’s true, leaving you wondering what on earth is going on in our messed up progressive clown world.It seems that the South African government is not satisfied with merely seizing land from white farmers; they have now weaponized water, using it as a tool of hatred and division by introducing race quotas on something that is a cornerstone of life…

I have studied the term "corruption of blood" in the US Constitution which comes from old English law that means that no sins of the father shall be heaped upon his offspring. So it seems abundantly clear that, since no one alive in the US has been a slave or has owned a slave, "reparations" for slavery is absolutely unconstitutional and any attempt to force someone to pay it through taxes should be thrown out of any court in the land. And doubly so since there were relatively few slave owners/

None offered

Just a week ago I had a post featuring some recent federal bureaucratic assaults against the well-being and prosperity of the population. The title was “Bureaucrats Completely Incapable Of Making Reasonable Trade-Offs.” The post featured two new rules from different corners of the federal bureaucracy, both announced on May 5: one from EPA effectively mandating electric automobiles by about 2032, and the other from the Department of Energy once again lowering the amounts of energy and water that dishwashers are allowed to use. I stated in that post that these two new rules were just examples of a much broader...

CHICAGO — A newly acquired video shows four people, at least two armed with machine guns, unleashing a torrent of gunfire in Chicago on Wednesday evening. The shots left a 14-year-old boy dead and at least three others injured. Later, a 16-year-old boy fired a gun at Chicago police officers as they investigated the shooting. He was charged yesterday with six counts of attempted murder of peace officers. The video, provided to CWBChicago by a source, shows four people walking across a vacant lot in the 4200 block of South Wells around 8:20 p.m. on June 1.

Keenan Anderson, a Black man who was repeatedly tased by police officers following a January traffic collision, died from the effects of an enlarged heart and cocaine use, the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner said. Anderson, a 31-year-old high school teacher and father from Washington, D.C., was also the cousin of Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors. On Jan. 3, Anderson was trying to get help after a car crash in Venice, Calif., when he was chased, held down by multiple officers and tased for over 90 seconds. He'd been in California visiting family. Anderson was the suspect in a...

Utah needs a proven fighter and conservative voice in Washington. Last month, Riverton Republican Mayor Trent Staggs, who became widely known in 2020 for his strong stance against mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced he is running for Senate to unseat incumbent RINO Sen. Mitt Romney. Stagg’s campaign emphasizes the need for a fearless representative who is unafraid to stand against the Washington establishment and fight for the interests of Utahans. Highlighting the challenges faced by the nation and the state, Stagg outlined his plan to address critical issues that he believes have been neglected by current leadership. “Right...

On an almost daily basis, I talk to friends who lead churches around the USA who are trying to understand what is happening in our culture and how to help the people in their churches to be faithful to Jesus in light of what is happening. It seems like the basic framework and foundations of our society are changing rapidly. But maybe it hasn’t been as fast as we think. The “Long March through the Institutions” was a phrase attributed to the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) and then coined as a succinct mission statement by Marxist student activist Rudi...

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed a heckler during a Friday event in South Carolina where he defended parental rights legislation. “We’re not going to let them impose an agenda on our kids, we’re going to stand up for our kids,” DeSantis said in response after a heckler appeared to shout the word “fascist” at him during his speech. “We’re gonna make sure to do it right. That’s what we’re gonna do!”

The statue is featured in a Dutch exhibition that pairs Egyptian antiquities with works from Black culture.What did the ancient Egyptians look like? A new exhibition at National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, the Netherlands, has sparked controversy by including a contemporary artwork that appears to depict the Pharaoh Tutankhamun as Black. “Kemet: Egypt in Hip-Hop, Jazz, Soul and Funk” pairs Egyptian antiquities from the museum’s collection with work inspired by ancient Egyptian culture by created by musicians of the African diaspora, including Miles Davis, Erykah Badu, Beyoncé, and Rihanna. The Leiden exhibition acknowledges that while generations of Black musicians...

About 20 years ago I read a piece about the North Miami police department eliminating the swimming requirement for the police. With a working knowledge of geography and having visited Miami many times, I thought this was a bit odd and kind of a bad idea. After all, North Miami has hundreds of miles of canals, lakes and beaches. Predictably, the reason the requirement was being dropped was because “blacks are less likely than whites to know how to swim because of economic disparities between the groups…” Basically because not enough blacks were qualifying to become police. That was long...

Allies of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reportedly launched a super PAC to support his likely run for the presidency. The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, reported Monday that Christie's 2024 campaign kickoff is expected in the next two weeks. The political action committee, called Tell It Like It Is, will be led by Brian Jones, an aide who advised Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in 2008 and Mitt Romney's in 2012. In a statement to the Times, Jones said Christie "is willing to confront the hard truths that currently threaten the future of the Republican Party. Now...

San Francisco Mayor London Breed is pushing back against reports of a retail “collapse” in the city’s downtown, saying that the departure of many high-end stores is the result of “changes to retail” in the economy in general. As Breitbart News has reported, there is an ongoing retail exodus from San Francisco, particularly in the area around Union Square and Market Street, at the terminus of the city’s famed cable car, where tourists arrive. The reasons are many, but chief among them is the rise of crime in the downtown area, which spiked with the emergence of “mass looting” events,...

Sure, only a third of American eighth graders are “proficient” in reading, just a quarter in math, and barely one in ten when it comes to U.S. history. But now, high-school students near you may get to spend up to seven weeks of class time asking “How does white rage fuel the racial wealth gap?” before lobbying their peers on what model “the U.S. should use to determine and provide monetary” reparations to descendants of slaves. Indeed, last week, the same minds who brought you prolonged school shutdowns extracted nearly $200 billion from taxpayers in Covid slush funds, unleashed unprecedented...

NAACP Board of Directors chairman Leon W. Russell lives in Florida despite the NAACP issuing a travel advisory for the state. He lives in the Tampa Bay area. The Chairman of the Florida GOP, Christian Ziegler, said: “The CHAIRMAN of the @NAACP lives in Tampa, FLORIDA! True leadership is being willing to do what you ask others to do… time to step up and MOVE. If you think our state is so bad, the @FloridaGOP will help with moving costs.” Russell went on MSNBC to try to defend himself. He said: “First of all, he is full of bull—-. Secondly,...

Four shoplifters at a Bronx gas station fled empty-handed in a BMW after beating up two employees who confronted them, leaving one of the workers hospitalized, police said Monday. The wild melee broke out about 11:15 a.m. Thursday at a BP service station shop on Jerome Ave. near Risse St., cops said. The would-be thieves showed up and started taking items but were confronted by a 33-year-old worker, police said. One of the crooks threw a bottle at him and he was also shoved. When his 49-year-old co-worker stepped in, he was shoved and threatened with a knife while the...
