The granddaughter of former South African President Nelson Mandela has demanded that the British Royal Family pay reparations for its role in colonialism in Africa. In an interview on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Ndileka Mandela, said that for “healing” to begin, the Royal Family of the United Kingdom should commit to paying reparations to black people. “If there can be an acknowledgement of what was done to countries to colonise because we are still suffering a great deal from colonisation, in as far as our culture as Black people is concerned,” she said.

Liberal New York Times opinion columnist Maureen Dowd shamed President Joe Biden in a piece, Saturday, for refusing to acknowledge his seventh grandchild, Hunter Biden’s daughter he had out of wedlock. The piece, headlined "It’s Seven Grandkids, Mr. President," berated Biden for his continual omission of the existence of this seventh grandchild named Navy Joan Roberts, a child the younger Biden had with an ex-stripper named Lunden Roberts. Dowd’s scathing column claimed that Biden’s callous treatment of this grandchild "undercuts" the "empathy" that "has been his stock in trade" while in political office.

'Family is life’s greatest blessing and responsibility,' the president said in Father's Day proclamation.. What happened: The New York Times published a heart-wrenching profile of the four-year-old granddaughter President Joe Biden has persistently refused to acknowledge. • "In strategy meetings in recent years, aides have been told that the Bidens have six, not seven, grandchildren," the Times revealed. • The child was determined to be Hunter Biden's following a lengthy court battle in Arkansas. The little girl is reportedly aware and "proud" of the fact that her paternal grandfather is president of the United States. • The story was posted...

Because it’s 2023, you expect there to be a lot of really dumb political debates. That’s exacerbated by the fact that the White House is currently inhabited by a man suffering from severe senility. His degenerate son is also constantly around, fresh off receiving a sweetheart deal from the DOJ, and suckling at the taxpayer teat in order to live like a king.But one argument you’d think wouldn’t need to take place is how many grandchildren the president has. Rather, you’d think that such a question would be easily answered given the quantifiable nature of it. How many children have...

Amidst all the proclamations of the supposed incredible decency and love of the Biden family has been a very uncomfortable reality: Joe and Jill Biden have disowned their small granddaughter.After Hunter Biden recently settled with the mother of the child to reduce his child support payments, the situation once again found itself in the public eye. This time, things escalated further, though. Not only did the president’s son reduce his payments by a huge amount, but part of the settlement was denying his own daughter the use of his last name.As a father, I can’t even begin to process what...

President Joe Biden on Saturday is hosting a wedding for his granddaughter at the White House, but the family plans to keep everything very private and secret. Biden’s granddaughter Naomi, the daughter of Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, is marrying her fiancé Peter Neal in a ceremony on the South Lawn, followed by a reception and a party in the evening.

Now, there are finally sanctions on Vladimir Putin which might — might — result in a cessation of hostilities in Ukraine. Putin has put forth conditions to the Ukrainians by which he would agree to stop his war. He says that if Ukraine would agree to a neutral geopolitical position between Russia and the West, cede Crimea and most of the Black Sea coast, and give up the Tuesday, Joe Biden took to a podium at the White House and did perhaps the one virtuous and potentially effective thing he’s done since his inauguration. Biden signaled, as part of the...

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will host a wedding reception at the White House for their granddaughter in November, the East Wing confirmed on Monday. “The President and First Lady will host the wedding reception for their granddaughter Naomi Biden and her fiancée Peter Neal at the White House on November 19, 2022,” Elizabeth Alexander, the first lady’s communications director, said in a statement

The White House on Friday removed stockings of President Joe Biden’s grandchildren from the fireplace in the State Dining room for a speech on the economy. Earlier in the week, First Lady Jill Biden unveiled her Christmas decorations of the State Dining room fireplace with stockings for six of their grandchildren at the White House as part of the Bidens’ “Gift of Family” theme.

Patrick Dussault took to Twitter and directed his threats to Chloe, Donald Trump Jr.’s four-year-old daughter. Conventional wisdom dictates anything a Canadian can do an American can do better. Not always the case. After Peter Fonda posted a tweet saying 12-year-old Barron Trump should be ripped from his mother’s arms and put in a cage with pedophiles, a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation comedy writer did the 78-year-old over-the-hill actor one better. If Fonda thought it was cool to threaten a 12-year-old, Patrick Dussault took to Twitter and directed his threats to Chloe, Donald Trump Jr.’s four-year-old daughter.

In an article that rises to the level of self-parody, a Washington Post journalist with the Dickensian name Simon Denyer turns a touching moment of triumph into a bit of an ordeal.  As most readers know, President Trump's granddaughter Arabella Kushner wowed an audience and the Chinese internet by singing three songs and reciting classical Chinese poetry.  Although shot with low production values (a home video, see?), the performance was expertly scripted to pull Chinese heartstrings, addressing the Chinese leader and his wife as "Uncle" and "Auntie," as is often done in Chinese culture when families are close.(I should note that young...

One of the establishment press's rules about the Donald Trump era is apparently, "There shall be no puff pieces."The Washington Post's Simon Denyer unilaterally decided to extend this rule to Arabella Kushner, the President's young granddaughter, giving him free rein to tell readers that her wonderful singing for China's president wasn't really an unconditionally wonderful event — because, you see, she was "forced to perform."Previous examples of potential puff pieces which have turned into digs at Trump include at least the following: Two Time correspondents, invited to a dinner with the Trumps, observed that the President gets two scoops of ice...

Trump granddaughter speaking Chinese. Ivanka Trumps daughter Arabella recites Chinese poem. Ivanka Trump's Adorable Daughter Arabella Speaks Mandarin. A video of Donald Trump's granddaughter reciting ancient Chinese poetry went viral once again on China's social media following Trump's presidential victory. Arabella has been studying putonghua since she was 18 months old, the Daily Mail reported. The clip was made to mark the Year of the Monkey, which ends January 27, 2017. The video was trending on Sina Weibo soon after Trump was announced as president-elect, with many users praising Arabella as "surprisingly cute and impressive."

It is difficult to measure the positive effects of one man's courage in a desperate situation.   In this event, the home was invaded by three armed men.   One man used a pretense of asking for water to get the door unlocked; then all three forced their way inside.  Two wore masks.    All three were armed with guns, make and model unknown. They demanded that the homeowner, 67-year-old grandfather, Kenneth Byrd, his wife, 65-year-old Judy, and their 19-year-old granddaughter open a safe.  All three members of the Byrd family were badly beaten.  Then they started to rape the granddaughter,...

After being carried through the streets of London in a flag-draped coffin aboard a gun carriage, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest this morning in St. Paul's Cathedral. But the big story of the day wasn't Maggie. No, it was a 19-year-old Texan who stole the show from the deceased Iron Lady. With a poise reminiscent of the elder Thatcher, Amanda Thatcher, Margaret's granddaughter, delivered a reading from Epistles that has the British media agog. Amanda, who lives with her mother in Texas, chose a rather militant passage that calls on believers to "put on the...

Amanda Thatcher's composure and dignity at the funeral of her beloved grandmother Margaret Thatcher bore more than a passing resemblance to the Iron Lady herself. The only daughter of the late Prime Minister's son Sir Mark and his American former wife Diane read from St Paul's Letter to the Ephesians VI. 10-18. Dressed elegantly in black, her voice crystal clear but faltering occasionally, Amanda, 19, spoke before a congregation of 2,300 dignitaries including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and statesmen from around the world.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Sarah Palin is a grandmother again. Kyla Grace Palin was born Saturday to Palin's eldest son, 22-year-old Track Palin, and his new wife, 21-year-old Britta Hanson. Hanson's mother, Elizabeth Hanson, confirmed the birth and told The Associated Press that the baby girl is "exquisite." At birth, the littlest Palin weighed in at 6 pounds, 15 ounces (3.14 kilograms), according to the maternal grandmother. "She's adorable," she said Wednesday, adding that the family is doing well.

NEW YORK – The granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto "Che" Guevara is at the forefront of another revolution — for vegetarianism. Lydia Guevara poses semi-nude in a PETA campaign that tells viewers to "join the vegetarian revolution," said PETA spokesman Michael McGraw. The print campaign is expected to debut in October in magazines and posters, McGraw said. It will be launched first in Argentina, where Che Guevara was born, and then internationally. PETA approached the 24-year-old in recent months after finding out she was a vegetarian,
