During an impassioned segment on MSNBC, Donny Deutsch slammed Hollywood and corporate America for their silence amid Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel. “I don’t understand the silence from Hollywood. I don’t understand the silence from corporate America. I don’t understand the silence from the academics. And I don’t understand the silence from so many politicians,” Deutsch said, speaking with anchor Nicolle Wallace. Deutsch, who is Jewish, was previously a host on MSNBC and CNBC. The television personality and political analyst now hosts the podcast “On Brand With Donny Deutsch.” “There is not context here. This is about the slaughtering of...

The U.S. Army is set to make major reductions to its special operations forces, and going after the Army’s elite warriors is no accident. In an ever increasing effort by the Biden Administration to inject the U.S. military with as much woke propaganda as possible, special forces units remain among the few areas the woke warriors have failed to gain traction. Diversity is a strategic imperative critical to mission readiness and accomplishment.

Woke continues because its privileged creators believe “What I create for others, certainly will not apply to me.” America has been in a veritable cultural revolution since the 1960s. Nearly all our major institutions finally became woke—the administrative state, traditional and social media, universities, K-12, the corporate boardroom, entertainment, professional sports, and the foundations. So the Obama and the Biden administrations finally seemed to have achieved their aims, in what the Obamas once boasted would be the “fundamental transformation” of America into something unrecognizable by its Founders. But what they gave us was nihilism—the destruction of norms, laws, and customs....

Claims that a California school told students that white people had "no culture" have sparked controversy, with a parent expressing outrage about the alleged incident. The mother of one of the students reported the claims to the San Ramon Valley Unified School District last week, saying that her daughter was taught about white privilege during a choir class and was told by an "equity teacher" that white people have no culture. She added: "During this, the teacher's discussion with the class, she stated that white people had no culture and any culture that they did have was stolen. She gave...

In a candid new interview with NPR, former Saturday Night Live cast member Leslie Jones says the show’s limitations made her “a caricature” of herself, although she came to realize that the process was par for the course at the longrunning NBC show. “They take that one thing [about you] and they wring it,” she says. “They wring it because that’s the machine. So whatever it is that I’m giving that they’re so happy about, they feel like it’s got to be that all the time or something like that. So it was like a caricature of myself. … Either...

Either former president Donald Trump’s standing in early 2024 polls is inflated, or we are headed for a sizable realignment in how non-White voters cast their ballots. Multiple polls in recent weeks have shown Trump performing historically well among Black and Hispanic voters in head-to-head matchups with President Biden, helping put him neck-and-neck with Biden in a way he rarely was during their 2020 matchup. Across five high-quality polls that have broken out non-White voters in the past month, Trump is averaging 20 percent of Black voters and 42 percent of Hispanic voters.

President Biden butchered LL Cool J’s name and then referred to the rapper as “boy,” before quickly correcting himself, while delivering a speech to the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday night. The president has a history of referring to African Americans as “boy” — a term considered a racial epithet when used to describe black men. Earlier this year, Biden used the word while referring to Maryland’s first black governor, Wes Moore. The president has frequently used “boy” to refer to younger politicians, though he took flak while on the campaign trail for using the term to describe his ability...

Fri, September 22, 2023 at 11:09 AM MDT·2 min read 515 Zimbabwe will be among the countries represented at the 2023 Miss Universe pageant on Nov. 18 after selecting its first crowned beauty in 22 years. The African country’s return to the competition is an exciting fete, but not everyone is pleased with the woman chosen as the nation’s representative for the global stage. Brooke Bruk-Jackson, a white woman, was crowned Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2023 on Sept. 16. She is a native of Harare, the country’s capital. The 21-year-old model’s runner-ups were Black women, Amanda Mpofu and Nokutenda Marumbwa. But...

When Ibram X. Kendi’s preposterous thesis that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination” becomes mainstream practice, you know things are upside down. Kendi is the author of the poorly reasoned 2019 leftist propaganda book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” which became not only a bestseller, but a clarion call for progressives. In a speech at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Kendi put his anti-reasoning skills on display, according to the New York Post. “When I see racial disparities, I see racism,” Kendi said. If that isn’t a blanket generalization, the logical fallacy of that name has no meaning....

The Telegraph: Stonehenge was built by black Britons, a new children’s history book has claimed. The illustrated book entitled Brilliant Black British History, by the Nigerian-born British author Atinuke, says “every single British person comes from a migrant” but “the very first Britons were black”. Readers of the newly-released book are told that Stonehenge was built while Britain was “a black country”. The book, published by Bloomsbury and promoted by Arts Council-funded literacy charity The Book Trust, states that “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came, and during that time the most famous...

Lizzo is facing yet another bombshell lawsuit by one of her former employees over toxic workplace conditions. (snip) Daniels, who is black, claims in court docs that Nomura would mock both Lizzo, 35, and backup dancers on multiple occasions by doing an “offensive stereotypical impression of a black woman.” Nomura also allegedly called black women on the tour as “dumb,” “useless,” and “fat,” the lawsuit claims. In one incident, Daniels claimed in the suit that Nomura ran her foot over with a heavy rack of clothes, and pushed her into it when Daniels informed her that she was in pain....

The complaint marks the second time the artist has been named in a lawsuit filed in the past two months over claims that she engaged in and condoned sexual and racial harassment.Lizzo has been sued again for overseeing a hostile work environment, this time by a stylist who says she was subjected to a “culture of racism and bullying” while on tour with the artist. The lawsuit, which the firm representing plaintiffs said was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Lizzo and supervisors of Big Grrl Big Touring of sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination, retaliation and...

Author Christopher F. Rufo does wonderful work explaining how the irrational and innumerate leftist radicals took over the institutions and political structure of the USA in his book, America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything.It was planned. It was executed. It was through the deliberate and calculated use of lies, fraud, hypocrisy, and coordinated rejection of truth, morality, rationality, and science. The strategy was to conquer the universities from within as a power base and then to use them to destroy culture, morality, ethics, and history, as they conquered the media, bureaucracies, and government. As a final step,...

Andrew Young has worked for XBox, DreamWorks, and other kids entertainment companies. He has seen firsthand how deliberate decisions to insert specific scenes and vocabulary take place. We talk about his experiences and why they choose to deliver these messages under a cloak. I've seen Andrew give examples from The Lego Movie, Frozen, and many others. He shows how these movies use "social engineering" as propaganda to your kids.

Deferred’ compensation not on record – anywhere U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the Georgia Democrat who’s been involved in a scandal over his church evicting residents from a government-subsidized housing complex it owns, now has another apparent ethics breach to face. The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust is insisting that the Senate Select Committee on Ethics “immediately investigate” Warnock for his $155,000 payday in 2022 from the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where he apparently still is a part-time pastor. The Washington Examiner reports the problem is that the Senate has a $30,000 limit on outside income for senators. And...

A year ago, the city of Philadelphia selected an artist to design a statue of Harriet Tubman that would stand in front of City Hall. However, the sculptor, Wesley Wofford, was unable to complete the statue. The city fired him shortly after his selection. Philadelphia fired him for being white. According to the New York Times, “incensed artists and community members argued that the city should have used a public selection process rather than awarding a commission, in part because the artist Philadelphia had selected was a white man.” The critics demanded Philadelphia find a black sculptor instead, no matter...

A student earning her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Alabama says she left the school after a professor brought Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) ideas into the classroom. She said the ideas were offensive and dangerous. Sarah Budde, an emergency room RN in Florida, thought Alabama would be the best place for her to pursue her doctorate. However, she changed her mind after taking the multicultural and social education for leadership personnel class taught by Dr. Nirmala Erevelles. "As a student, I paid for this program and paid for the...

In almost every state, law students who pass their state bar examination, which allows them to practice law, take an oath to support the U.S. Constitution. But the country's top law schools teach future lawyers and judges the opposite. Many now teach that the U.S. Constitution, the supreme law of the nation since its ratification in 1788, is broken and should be scrapped. At least that's what two members of conservative think tanks believe after reviewing courses at the country's Top 10 law schools, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report in 2022. They examined the teaching at Yale,...

Why don’t more people of color ride bikes? There is no singular reason; however, safety is often cited as a primary concern. In communities of color with a high concentration of low to middle-income residents, the lack of cycling infrastructure elements, such as bike trails, bike lanes, or even shoulders, make cycling unsafe and impractical. “The lower a metro area’s median household income, the more dangerous it’s streets are likely to be for people walking,” according to a Smart Growth America Dangerous by Design 2021 report. “This is unsurprising, given low-income communities are less likely to have sidewalks, marked crosswalks,...
