Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands. During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.” Last year, she claimed that Americans did not show her and her family “grace” because of their skin color, despite the fact her husband was elected in a landslide.

NEW: “Due to heightened public safety concerns in St. Paul, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our hotel…” Several hotels are now closing in the Twin Cities because of safety concerns—The Double Tree downtown St. Paul sliding this notification under the door of some guests. I called the hotel and they are indeed closing today. Sources tell me government employees had to leave by noon today, but other guests were allowed to stay through their reservation. It is a franchised owned by SP Hotels—I have reached out to the company and Hilton as well. I have not...

The Louvre museum in the French capital, Paris, is hiking its ticket prices for most non-European visitors by 45 per cent. The famous institution was the scene last year of a daring heist which saw robbers get away with jewels worth over a $100 million dollars, blamed in part on its deteriorating state. "I want visitors from outside the EU to pay more … and for that surcharge to go towards funding the renovation of our national heritage," Culture Minister Rachida Dati said announcing the hikes in 2024. But France’s decision to increase entry costs to the help fund much-needed...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Conflict between law enforcement and activists erupted outside an Orange Mound restaurant Sunday evening after a group of National Guard members was asked to leave the property.

Mamdani Official: “Impoverish the White Middle Class. "Private property is a weapon of white supremacy". January 6, 2026. By Daniel Greenfield. There’s no floor. No such thing as too much. Leftist politics is an endless drop shaft and as a society free falls into it, it passes gulags, generational ones (in North Korea), death camps, mass famine, genetic engineering (China) and every horror imaginable. So the thing you think is absolutely insane turns out to be the gateway to the next house of horrors. View the Mamdani administration in that light. The new wave of DSAers are here to implement...

Hilton said Tuesday it is dissolving its relationship with a Minnesota hotel that sparked backlash from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for denying federal immigration agents from booking accommodations. “The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this. A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values,” the company wrote in a statement on the social platform X. “As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is — and has always been — a welcoming place...

She wrote in August 2019: 'Private property, including and kind of especially homeownership, is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as "wealth building" public policy.' Two years prior, she claimed that America 'built wealth for white people through genocide, slavery, stolen land and labor.' She also encouraged voters to 'elect more communists,' just months after she called for the endorsement of a 'no more white men in office platform.'

Hilton Corporate has finally taken action against the despicable ‘independent’ Hilton hotel in Minneapolis that banned ICE and DHS agents, thanks to the dogged efforts of independent conservative journalist Nick Sortor. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Homeland Security’s X account shared a disturbing email on Monday showing that Hilton Hotels had abruptly cancelled reservations for DHS officers in Minneapolis for daring to round up dangerous illegal aliens. The specific Hilton hotel in question is the Hampton Inn Lakeville property. “After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected to your name, and we will...

Hilton Hotels said it is investigating an independently owned Minneapolis-area property after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged law enforcement officers were refused service, a dispute that has renewed scrutiny of the company’s long-standing opposition to immigration-related activity at its hotels. Emails shared on social media by DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appear to show staff at the Hampton Inn by Hilton Lakeville, Minnesota, telling people linked to DHS reservations that the property would not allow ICE or other immigration agents to stay. A spokesperson for Hilton told FOX Business the company is investigating the incident...

America has more than one "lost" generation of white men When I read Jacob Savage’s widely praised essay on “the lost generation” of young white men in America—a generation of men who, like himself, have lost out on prestigious jobs in media and academia for no reason other than the lightness of their skin and the equipment dangling between their legs—I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of recognition. More than a tinge, actually.You see, between 2015 and 2018, I was a DPhil student at the University of Oxford. My research was on the Reformation in England, the great schism...

A federal watchdog shared a message Wednesday asking White men to come forward to report potential instances of discrimination against them in the workplace. Vice President JD Vance re-posted the video message from U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Andrea Lucas on X. In her video statement, Lucas noted that White men who face workplace discrimination may be able to recover money under the law. "Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws. Contact the @USEEOC as soon...

Thanks to a lawsuit from a pro-life organization, the liberal state of Massachusetts has been forced to allow Christian couples to do foster care. As LifeNews previously reported, a devout Christian couple in Massachusetts lost their foster care license after refusing to sign a state policy requiring them to affirm foster children’s fake gender identities. It’s a decision the pair says forces them to choose between their faith and caring for vulnerable infants. Lydia and Heath Marvin, who have fostered eight children under age 4 since 2020 — many with serious medical needs — were told by the Massachusetts Department...

An entire generation of white men did exactly what they were told to do, only to watch the rules quietly change the moment they reached the starting line.

The Justice Department last week issued a rule doing away with “disparate impact” liability under one section of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. “Our rejection of this theory will restore true equality under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination, rather than enforcing race- or sex-based quotas or assumptions,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said at a press conference last week.More such actions are expected under an April executive order—and none too soon. Disparate-impact theory, which recasts neutral standards as discriminatory, was imposed undemocratically and conflicts with the Constitution. The Supreme Court, which has sent mixed signals over the...

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has released a report saying that the nine largest lenders in the U.S. made “inappropriate distinctions” that it used to restrict services among certain customers. Following the signing of an executive order by President Donald Trump in August of this year, the OCC began reviewing all banks for any current or past practices that effectively barred customers on the basis of political or religious belief. Wednesday, the OCC released its report, saying that it had found conclusive proof that nine large banks had policies that either refused services to some industries...

An a cappella group at Kent State University in Ohio allegedly banned white students from auditioning for certain solos and disciplined a longtime member for questioning the race-based policy. Emails obtained by Campus Reform display how Vocal Intensity A Cappella limited certain solos to “people of color,” claiming white students would be engaging in “cultural appropriation” if they were to perform them. Mark Phillips, a three-year member and the a cappella group’s beatboxer, contacted a board member to inquire about how the exclusion of white students aligned with Kent State’s anti-discrimination policies. Phillips suggested the limitation seemed “at odds with...

A growing number of IT staffing firms are posting help wanted ads that say the quiet part out loud: Americans need not apply. Federal law prohibits this—duh—but in an industry reliant on an H-1B program that provides visas to more than 700,000 immigrants, the Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium “identified over two dozen job postings since 2024 that appear to bar applications from U.S. citizens” in favor of visa holders. Many of the companies behind them tout their commitment to DEI. Take LanceSoft, an IT staffing firm committed to “diversity, equality, and inclusivity.” In a post to an IT jobs aggregator...

A graduate assistant was removed from her position amid investigations into a contested discrimination report filed by a disgruntled student who repeatedly referenced the Bible in an essay response to an article about gender stereotypes — for a course taught by a transgender instructor. In her essay, which was supposed to cover “how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender,” University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky presented a Biblically-fueled tirade against the notion that there are multiple genders. The psychology course’s professor, graduate student Mel Curth, who uses “she/they” pronouns, failed Fulnecky on the grounds that she neglected...

Julie Benson has had to "fight" to have a DNR order removed from her sister, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy but enjoys a "good life".Families have slammed the NHS for putting "do not resuscitate" orders on disabled patients without their consent. An investigation by ITV News found that multiple UK hospitals have put blanket 'Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation' (DNR) orders on at least 12 patients with learning disabilities after being ordered to stop the practice five years ago. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said the blanket imposition of DNRs on disabled people had caused potentially avoidable deaths in...
