Harvard University students can learn about the “political mastermind” of Stacey Abrams this semester in a class that explicitly says it is taught through a critical race theory lens. “From First Lady Michelle Obama to political mastermind Stacy Abrams to Vice President Kamala Harris, Black women have left their stamp on 21st-century politics and grassroots organizing,” the course description for “Race, Gender, and Law through the Archive” says. Abrams is a former Democratic state representative who lost the 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial elections in Georgia. As noted by the Washington Free Beacon, she claims the 2018 election was “rigged” and...

Saturday on MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed Republicans had taken their hoods off in President Donald Trump’s second term. Crockett said, “It’s not just even the fact that it’s gerrymandering. I want to be clear, this is racial gerrymandering, specifically in the state of Texas.” Host Ali Velshi said, “Do you hear the stuff they’re saying about Gene Wu, by the way, talking about Asians, like how he’s connected to the Chinese Communist Party, like the racism. They’re not doing a great job at keeping it, you know, keeping the lid on that pot.”

The Department of Justice has launched two new investigations into New York Attorney General Letitia James and her office over her allegedly malicious targeting of political enemies. The U.S. attorney in Albany, Daniel Hanlon, issued two subpoenas to James, the first one related to her office’s civil fraud case against President Trump, the New York Times reported. The Justice Department reportedly believes her prosecution of Trump violated his Constitutional rights. The second subpoena is related to her office’s long-running effort to dissolve the National Rifle Association (NRA), according to the Times. Attorney General Pam Bondi has signed off on the...

Ladies and gentlemen the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad debate is over.I kid you not, Lizzo posted this on Instagram: Bro, I don't think she's far off! Though if a Harris administration had any impact on our culture you know that would've been a man in that ad and AE would've also been advertising tuck underwear here.Keep in mind, this is a woman who openly campaigned for Kamala Harris. Man, can you just imagine how dumb our country would be if we were still under Democrat rule?

No, I am not talking about statues celebrating the likes of Letitia James or Stacey Abrams. At least you could understand why the left would want to celebrate these women and try to make them icons. Rather, I am talking about a truly mysterious trend of Blue cities erecting statues of anonymous women whose only discernible reason for being is the celebration of obese black women as a class of people. Erecting a statue to celebrate someone's achievements deserves no criticism, regardless of the subject's attractiveness. If someone wanted to erect a statue to celebrate Stephen Hawking, who was never...

Actual social media comments made by a sitting member of Cincinnati City Council …

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up. Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was...

Aesop wrote that “the smaller the mind, the greater the conceit.” For Republicans, Jasmine Crockett embodies that and is an eternal source of hilarity. She thinks she can be all things to all people. Her accent changes depending upon to whom she is speaking. Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris tried the same thing and were also justifiably mocked for it. Crockett allegedly has a fine education, expensive private schools, college and law school. This is not evident in her public appearances. She has stated that the people who voted for and support Trump “lack education” while it is she who...

Democrat Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett threatened to bar The Atlantic from publishing a profile about her after a reporter for the outlet reached out to several of her congressional colleagues without her permission. The Atlantic’s Elaine Godfrey reached out to dozens of Democrat congressmen, including members of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, to give insight on Crockett for the lengthy profile, according to The Atlantic’s profile on the congresswoman. Four days before the profile’s publication, Crockett reportedly “expressed frustration” when she learned that Godfrey had spoken to her colleagues without informing her first and threatened to shut the interview...

Failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams isn’t ruling out a third run for governor of the Peach State, and said in a Tuesday interview that true Christians should have left-leaning views. "I truly have not made any decisions and that is in part because there's an urgency to 2025 that we cannot ignore," Abrams told NPR, concerning whether she'll run again. "My focus right now is on how do we ensure that we have free and fair elections in 2026? There's a lot of hope being pinned on the '26 midterms." Abrams was the minority leader of the Georgia...

(Screenshot/YouTube/The Official Jamal Bryant Podcast: Let's Be Clear) Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett said in an interview Thursday that cutting the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) could pave the way for another 9/11-style attack. President Donald Trump signed an executive order freezing foreign aid funding in January, while Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency worked to dismantle USAID due to spending money on projects like Peruvian transgender comic books and a transgender clinic in Vietnam. During an interview with Jamal Bryant on the podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” Crockett said that cutting USAID funding could lead to a...

By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector. Financial records show that when she first entered statewide politics in 2018, she reported a net worth of less than $109,000. By 2022, the last year she had to publicly file a financial report, it had grown to more than $3.2 million. Abrams is probably even...

During an appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Monday, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams alleged President Donald Trump was taking steps to cancel elections in the United States. Abrams outlined 10 steps to guest host Anthony Anderson in her book, which she was promoting, that would ultimately lead to an “autocracy.” “[Y]ou criticize the media, and you create your own echo chamber of propaganda,” Abrams said. “You call it truth even though you know you’re lying. Then you go to the next step, and I call that step seven. It’s at step seven you have to blame someone....

A nonprofit founded by Georgia Democratic politician Stacey Abrams to protect voting rights paid more than $20 million to a lawyer who is a close friend and helped set up two of her private businesses, according to tax and state incorporation filings and other records obtained by RealClearInvestigations. Abrams’ Fair Fight Action redirected the tax-exempt donations and government grants to Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, her former campaign chair between 2019 and 2023. Most of the funds covered legal expenses charged by the boutique law firm Lawrence-Hardy co-founded, for a failed race-bias lawsuit filed against Abram’s Republican opponent, Gov. Brian Kemp, after she...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) questioned first lady Melania Trump’s reported “Einstein visa” at a House hearing Wednesday. “Let me remind y’all that Melania, the first lady, a model — and when I say model, I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford or Naomi Campbell level — applied for and was given an EB-1 visa, and what that stands for is an Einstein visa. Now y’all that don’t know, let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa,” Crockett said “You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer,...

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar welcomed the refugees, who are fleeing violence, racial discrimination and persecution. .@DeputySecState greets the first flight of South African refugee arrivals in the US: "@POTUS made it clear that Afrikaners in South Africa who are the victims of unjust racial discrimination would be welcome to come to the United States and he's now delivering on that promise." pic.twitter.com/cB8lOY3PNq— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 12, 2025Fifty-nine white South African refugees were welcomed in DC,...

Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that “everything” President Donald Trump says is a lie. When discussing Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s arrest at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week, McIver said, “Along with Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman and Congressman Rob Menendez from New Jersey, we decided to show up at this facility to conduct an oversight visit.” Host Jake Tapper said, “What do you say to the DHS spokesman’s claim of body slamming?”

New York City's Times Square installed a statue of a 12-foot-tall Black woman in casual clothing that its creator hopes will encourage people to reflect on "greater cultural diversity." New York-based Times Square Arts recently put up the new statue display, titled "Grounded in the Stars," by artist Thomas J Price, along with his "Man Series" animated billboards, both of which are temporary, but causing a stir online.

So stunning, so brave. In what's being called a "contrast" to the two white men who have statues in Times Square, a new 12-foot statue of a fictionalized overweight black woman has been erected at Broadway and 46th Street. Why? The Times Square Arts association presents a big word salad on its official website for the bronze statue (it will stay standing until June 17) created by artist Thomas J Price, but then, buried deep in the word salad, we get an interesting nugget.
