“From the hood” shouldn’t be a license to threaten people. This is emotional performance art wrapped in street talk. They’re not representing the struggle. They’re cosplaying for clicks. ================================================================= BRIEFING ...There’s a strange new trend in politics. Young Black female politicians are branding themselves as “hood queens” and leaning into violent, ghetto-style rhetoric. Let’s get into it. It’s one thing to grow up in a tough neighborhood and speak from lived experience. Like it or not, that’s what “gangsta rappers” do, and they make millions while they’re at it. But what we’re seeing now are these privileged Black career women...

The male flight attendant had just arrived at Atlanta Airport and was in his uniform when he began accusing the female gate agent of displaying unprofessionalism and being 'ghetto.' As the pair walk through the terminal, he says: 'This is ridiculous. This is the worst airport, and y'all make Southwest look horrible. 'That customer service is ridiculous.' As the woman veers away from him and walks toward the gate, the Delta employee follows behind her, rolling his suitcase after her as he adds: 'It's ghetto. 'That's because it's Atlanta, y'all have no respect for customer service. Y'all need to clean...

Beege Welborn wrote about this last week while I was on vacation. Kansas City, Mo. has helped to fund a grocery store in a part of town considered a food desert.

The store, at this point, is basically empty despite millions of dollars of city support.The first sight walking into the Sun Fresh at Linwood Boulevard and 31st Street is the produce section.

DoorDash driver is not having it with a lair who said she did not get her food when the MacDonald's cup is right there on her desk.

Way back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, democrats had some semblance of class and seriousness. People like Patrick Moynahan, a democrat from NY, used to argue all day with Newt Gingrich but kept it civil and classy and largely honest. Today that's a lost art. Now we witness people like Jamie Raskin, who is a perpetual liar In case his lie wasn't heard the first time, Jamie Raskin doubles down on the "very fine people" hoax again.How many times is the left going to repeat this line? pic.twitter.com/qr7v5fYkuI — Media Research Center (@theMRC) June 24, 2025Even Snopes debunked it but...

It appears DEI is still alive and well in the US Secret Service even though there has been a change of guard. Two female US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside of Barack Obama’s DC residence at 2:30 am on Wednesday. It is unclear if anyone was injured or disciplined over the fight. Per RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree:

The progressive ideal is largely to blame for the monstrous creation that is ghetto culture. The idea that racial narcissism among blacks should not only be tolerated but celebrated has led to a surge in open animosity for societal rules and standards within the US. Far more than any other group, the black community makes up the largest share of physical crime according to their percentage of the population. This includes robbery, aggravated assault, and homicides. For example, black Americans make up only 13% of the population but commit around 52% of all homicides according to FBI statistics. The recent...

Let’s get one thing straight: Jasmine Crockett isn’t ‘ghetto.’ She’s not from ‘the streets.’ She’s not the hood-savvy voice of the everyday black American struggling to survive in an America where Democrats have failed them. No, Jasmine Crockett is a fraud. And what’s worse? She’s a carefully packaged fraud, hand-picked and propped up by the Democratic Party to sell one of the most insidious lies of all: that this caricature of blackness — loud, ratchet, grammatically incorrect — is somehow authentic. Let me be clear: the problem isn’t that Jasmine Crockett is educated. I commend that. She went to private...

What the hell is wrong with these people? Right in front of her kid too

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has reasserted his nation’s sovereignty, standing up to “the Soros empire, the Brussels bureaucrats and the Democrats in America.” “This autumn, Hungary’s opponents are expected to come forward to make their demands simultaneously,” Orbán stated in an October 3 speech in Budapest. “What the Soros empire, the Brussels bureaucrats and the Democrats in America want from us is what we cannot — and I think do not want to — give them.” The Biden administration “will continue to want us involved in the war: to supply arms, and to give more money to Ukraine, or...

Vivek Ramaswamy has sparked a firestorm of criticism since launching his 2024 presidential campaign for comments that some have called racially charged. Recently, the 38-year-old entrepreneur faced backlash for comparing Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a Black Democrat representing Massachusetts, to “modern grand wizards” of the Ku Klux Klan. He has said that the U.S. education system is a “modern ghetto system,” that the government pays women in inner cities to be single, and has argued with former CNN anchor Don Lemon on what it was like to live as a Black person in America. *** McLaughlin, the Ramaswamy spokesperson, said that...

Eighty years ago, Jews imprisoned in Poland's Warsaw Ghetto rose up against the German occupiers. It was the largest act of Jewish resistance to the Nazis. ... The desperate resistance of the Jews Members of the ZOB joined with the Jewish Military Union (ZZW) and other resistance groups to rise up against the German occupiers. Their motto was that it was better to die fighting than be burned to ashes in the crematorium of an extermination camp. After the deportation of some 300,000 Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp northeast of Warsaw in the summer of 1942, there were only...

UNCIVILIZED HUMANS ! Embarrassing Ghetto Fools! Arrest them all

Negligent landlords—those who allow their properties to become dilapidated despite having tenants—are a significant predictor of violence in Richmond neighborhoods, even more than personal property tax delinquency, population density, income levels and other factors, according to a new study by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Negligent landlords contribute significantly to violence in Richmond neighborhoods via the environment," said lead author Samuel West, Ph.D., an alum of the Department of Psychology in the College of Humanities and Sciences and an assistant professor of psychology at Virginia State University. "This impact was above and beyond the impact of those who live in...

And in Greenwich, a developer recently withdrew an application to build a project that would include 58 apartments priced below market rate, after residents living in nearby luxury condominiums objected Throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut, local residents and elected officials...

The greatest mystery of World War II has been solved. The enigma lasted more than eight decades. From the article: "Shortly after World War II there was a series of 12 trials in Nuremberg. It was aimed at convicting captured Nazi war criminals. The first one, the most important, took place between December 9, 1946 and August 20, 1947. It was against the lying doctors and scientists."... "Out of this trial came the most important ethical agreement in history: the Nuremberg Code. It was intended to prevent the Nazi absurdities from ever being repeated. The first item of the code,...

In a truly shocking moment, Will Smith just smacked Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith at The Oscars. Chris was up on stage Sunday presenting for Best Documentary, but before he started naming the nominees ... he was firing off zingers to the crowd, and eventually landed on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Chris made a comment about Jada's shaved head ... saying he couldn't wait to see 'G.I. Jane 2' -- which got some groans from the crowd, to which he just sorta shrugged off. Chris didn't think he'd crossed...
