A group of San Francisco police officers has been accused of "racial bias" in connection with the August 2022 arrest of a mentally ill man who pulled out a realistic prop gun and fired off multiple blanks, resulting in a 53-minute standoff that ended without anyone being hurt. Bodycam shows police repeatedly shouted at Corvera to drop the weapon and warned passersby to stay back. "Drop that gun on the floor or you will be shot," one officer shouts. "Put it on the floor!" Corvera fired blanks over the course of the standoff, and at least 17 officers responded to...

TRENTON, N.J. (CITC) — Aspiring teachers in New Jersey are no longer required to prove they are proficient in reading, writing and math. Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law Monday the elimination of the state's basic skills test requirement. Passing the exam was previously required for teachers to become certified if they did not score in the top one-third percentile of the SAT, ACT or GRE. Under the new law, teachers can now skip the exam and instead receive an alternate teaching certificate. After four years of employment at a state-approved school, which includes public and charter schools, the educators...

On those bleak corners of the Internet that fret about economic growth, social cohesion, and other boring stuff, there’s a common question: What the heck happened in 1971? On one chart after another for the United States, there is a pattern of steady growth and improvement in life that suddenly goes haywire right around 1971. Wage growth stagnated for all but the richest Americans. Inequality explodes. Housing prices began a long upward march that has yet to level out. Fertility rates crashed while illegitimacy surged. And so on, and so on. Many other nations have data that tells a similar...

This week was a sad awakening for me. I attended a discussion group regarding the situation in the Mideast at my synagogue. Of the ten attendees I was the only one to express concern about the level of anti-Semitism which was occurring around the USA. Others that spoke expressed their concern about the aggressiveness of the Israeli government and negative treatment of Arabs. I entered the room somewhat depressed that so many people will die because of the Oct 7th attack but left even more upset. ... I was not prepared for the level of Jewish support for the Palestinian...

A deranged trans shooter killed six in a horrific massacre at a Nashville Christian school back in April. The deceased shooter, Audrey “Aiden” Hale, left behind a manifesto. Nashville Police refused to share it with the public. We learned this week why. In screenshots obtained by Steven Crowder, Hale vented her murderous rage towards whites, whom she referred to as privileged “crackers.” Despite being white herself, the shooter wanted to kill those like her. This rhetoric isn’t found in the dark corners of 4chan. Anti-white hate is part of school curricula throughout the country. It’s broadcast by television channels and...

Star Trek actor LeVar Burton threatens VIOLENCE against parental rights group Moms for Liberty “Moms for Liberty? No? Good. Then hands will not need to be thrown tonight.” The 66-year-old actor also discussed the group during a recent interview with Esquire, rejoicing that “hardly any candidates backed by Moms for Liberty won their races” during the 2023 election cycle. He added, “These are people who would rather children not know the truth. Those kids will never know what they’re missing, but it’s our job to stand up for them, to be their voices and their advocates. That’s what being an...

"I saw the video of that cop murdering George Floyd. I was just absolutely appalled by what I saw. But I immediately asked folks -- both FDLE and others -- how in the hell could you even get away with doing that tactic? And sure enough, state of Florida, you do not put knee on a neck like that." - Ron DeSantis

That is all that is it!

Planned Parenthood Southeast has appointed its first nonbinary racial minority to serve as president and CEO as the regional abortion provider has lost ground since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022. PPSE announced Tuesday the appointment of Carol McDonald, a biological female who uses they/them pronouns, as head of the regional chapter. McDonald joined Planned Parenthood of Georgia in the 1990s, working on political mobilization efforts before joining the national staff of Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 2006. She took a leave from the organization to manage political and surrogate relations for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign....

In Biden’s America, we get half the story, if we’re lucky. If it doesn’t align with the administration’s narrative, it’s either ignored or skimmed over. Take, for instance, the case of 15 diverse, equitable, and inclusive teenagers who beat a white teen to death, which was reported as “a group of people” attacking “a teenager.” This downplays the hate crime element to fit the media’s narrative about black victims and “evil” white people. And there are numerous other stories like this across the country that you probably won’t hear about. Here’s one such example: the case of Alexander Bulakhov, an...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that China doesn’t need to feed people on TikTok pro-terrorist and antisemitic beliefs, “they just have to let these idiots talk to each other.” And “Half of it is coming from where they’re supposed to be learning from.”

Sources tell FOX 5 Atlanta that they are looking at "Cop City" demonstrators' possible involvement in the fire at Stone Mountain Park that destroyed the historic Davis House. Authorities are still working to determine if that fire is arson, but are highly suspicious based off the timing of the alarms and who would have access to that area at that time of the morning.

Consensus at meeting: Remove Stephen Foster statue Among the more two dozen people who spoke Wednesday evening before the city’s Art Commission Wednesday, most wanted the Stephen Foster statue along the Oakland stretch of Forbes Avenue to be taken down or moved somewhere less visible. But few speakers were as hostile as Billy Hileman. “You should melt the metal part down and recoup a little bit of [money],” said the educator and veteran activist during the hour-long hearing. “And then maybe make gravel out of the pedestal.” That drew laughter from a crowd of more than 60, but Mr. Hileman...

The Marxist Origin of Wokism: The Hideous Face of RevolutionI am picking up a subject about which I have already written in an article entitled “Wokism: The New Pagan Morality.”[1] We now live in an increasingly post-Christian society. Interestingly, 56% of American voters deemed the term “woke” to be positive, associated with being informed and educated, while just 39% deemed it negative, likening it to censorship and being overly politically correct.[2] In his book, America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Left Conquered Everything,[3] Christopher Rufo traces the origins of CRT/Wokism, showing how America has been quietly taken over by the ideological...

Less than 10 minutes into the new season of the hit Netflix reality show "Selling Sunset," two luxury real estate brokers are already complaining about a new tax on Los Angeles' wealthiest homebuyers. "This is going to be a nightmare for us," says veteran real estate agent Mary Fitzgerald. "We're just screwed." The city's so-called "mansion tax" was about to go into effect when the show was filming its latest season — and the high-end real estate industry was in a tizzy. The owner of one $26 million, 13,000-square-foot home the agents were trying to sell would have to pay...

It has taken about seven months, but we now know what was going through the head of the Audrey “Aiden” Hale, the Covenant School mass murderer. No thanks to politicians, though. They have been delaying the release of the handwritten “manifesto” for months. While it was expected to show that Hale had mental health issues (as it can be argued any mass murderer does), it was speculated that the reason for not releasing the document was because it would have shown the trans-man was targeting the school staff and students because of their Christian beliefs. It was also thought the...

The West has been flooded with barbarians, who are no longer at the gates but well inside them. But the threat of the barbarians from without is minuscule compared to the reality that barbarism itself has become perfectly normal within our society, and barbaric practices have been adopted by many Americans. The chances that a graduate from a prestigious college in America will embrace barbarism are likely higher than your average illegal alien, at least from a few years ago. Most illegal aliens come here to live the American Dream, and prior to Biden’s open door/let’s hand you a check...

Kristallnacht, (German: “Crystal Night”) the night of November 9–10, 1938, when German Nazis attacked Jewish persons and property. The name Kristallnacht refers ironically to the litter of broken glass left in the streets after these pogroms. The violence continued during the day of November 10, and in some places acts of violence continued for several more days.

Black Lives Matter at School in its Oct. 17 statement called Hamas's terror attack "the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians.""Palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not a metaphor or abstraction, but requires real, daily struggle," the group wrote.A number of Black Lives Matter chapters have similarly dismissed and even glorified the terrorist assault, which killed scores of Israelis, including innocent women and children. A coalition of 26 local chapters called the attack a "desperate act of self-defense," while the Chicago chapter shared an image...
