MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has claimed 'racist Hispanics' and 'sexist black men' are to blame for Kamala Harris' electoral loss. The Morning Joe host made the controversial claim on Wednesday as he discussed Donald Trump's landslide win for the White House. Speaking to rev Al Sharpton, Scarborough - who earlier appeared to accept the result - said 'Democrats need to be mature, and they need to be honest. Scarborough, an ex-Republican, continued his rant: 'but is not just misogyny from Hispanic men, from black men, '[There] might be race issues with Hispanics that don't want a black woman president of the...

MSNBC host Joy Reid raged at Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida Tuesday night after a ballot measure to loosen restrictions on abortion failed to pass. Florida’s law restricting abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy remains in force after Amendment 4 failed to reach the 60% threshold to be adopted as an amendment to the Florida constitution. Reid called DeSantis’ campaigning against the ballot measure “openly fascist.” WATCH: video on link “He’s put everything on it, including threats, whatever it takes to try to make sure that that amendment fails using the power of government in a way that...

Humza Yousaf has revealed he has doubts over whether he and his family will stay in the UK amid a growing rise of Islamophobia and the far right. The former First Minister of Scotland admits that the riots in England over the last week have been concerning and he is now considering a future where he, his wife and three children move out of the UK and potentially away from Europe. Mr. Yousaf has been vocal in his criticism of the trouble in England over the last week and there are concerns it could spread to Scotland. Scottish Secretary Ian...

It seems like a cliché to say that this is the most important election in our lifetime. But it feels like that right now. Here are a few different things I think are at stake in 2024, of importance to those who share a Biblical worldview. The Value of Human Life One party celebrates abortion up to the moment of birth, although they won’t admit that they want it up to the moment of birth. The other camp wants to allow some modest restrictions on abortion.

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that it turned out former Secretary of State and then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was right when she called supporters of Donald Trump “deplorables.” During the panel discussion on President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage,” Goldberg said, “So you know they’re working very hard to spin this to some crazy end, but this is my problem. let me explain to y’all. I don’t understand why all the pearl clutching over Biden’s statement. Why they all have a problem with what Biden said when what this other guy has said.” She...

President Joe Biden referred to Donald Trump supporters as 'garbage' in an astonishing outburst as Vice President Kamala Harris issued her 'closing' plea in the 2024 election.

ABC’s The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg embarked on an unhinged rant during Monday’s show, making the outlandish claim that former President Donald Trump wants to break up interracial couples, deport women of color, and then “put the white guy with someone else.” Whoopi Goldberg appeared to be having a bad reaction to Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally that took place Sunday.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” host Joy Reid reacted to Israel launching strikes against Iran in response to Iran’s earlier attack on Israel by stating that it seems as though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is determined to escalate a regional war.” And doesn’t want conflict in the region to end. Reid said, “There’s no pathway to end the conflict because it does not appear that Bibi Netanyahu, — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants it to end. Yahya Sinwar, who was the military leader of Hamas, is now dead. That is now confirmed. The Israeli government has made...

Political analyst Jonathan Alter commented Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” on President Donald Trump‘s rise in the polls, which he attributed to voters not grasping “fascism.” Host Wolf Blitzer said, “Trump’s latest praise for dictators as a new ABC poll finds that nearly half the country thinks Trump is a fascist, will put those numbers up on the screen there you see 49% believe Trump is a fascist and yet our new CNN national poll today shows the race is tied you can see it over there, 47% to 47%. How do you square that?”

The Media Research Center (MRC) seeks to uphold the original vision of Free Speech Week, and nothing encapsulates those efforts more than the free speech advocates MRC has honored this year. Free Speech Week was founded in 2005 by The Media Institute and the National Association of Broadcasters “to raise public awareness of the importance of free speech in our democracy – and to celebrate that freedom.” The freedom of speech is a fundamental American liberty, one that transcends political differences. According to the official website, the event, “is designed as a unifying celebration, elevating the vision of the Founding...

Political commentator Angela Rye declared on CNN that "White folks" should face accountability "for not showing up to save democracy" if they don't vote for Vice President Kamala Harris next month. During an interview on "First of All" Saturday, CNN host Victor Blackwell addressed the backlash against former President Barack Obama after he scolded Black men for not being more supportive of Harris' presidential campaign, in light of polling that shows Black men trending toward former President Trump compared to previous years. "This is the first time since he was in Pittsburgh and invoked the potential of sexism in his...

I am sure it is carefully calculated to not meet the legal standard of incitement, but it is crystal clear that the establishment wants Donald Trump to be the target of yet another assassination attempt. I'm not joking or exaggerating. As they keep trying to assert that Trump uses rhetoric outside the bounds of legitimate political discourse (and I do wish he would tone it down a bit) the Democrats have ramped up their hateful rhetoric to an appalling degree. MSNBC is the worst, of course, but hardly the only network to platform what can only be described as hateful...

One of the students who led Columbia University’s anti-Israel encampment in the spring is suing the Ivy League school for suspending him over hateful video in which he declares, “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” Khymani James, 21, of Boston was denied due process and fair treatment when suspended — a violation of university policy, according to his Sept. 27 Manhattan Supreme Court filing. The decision to suspend James from campus in April was made mostly because of media pressure, and he also was unfairly targeted because his is black and pro-Palestine, the court document said.

The superintendent of Staten Island public schools was abruptly removed from her post amid ongoing accusations of lashing out against staff and vowing “No more white principals,” The Post has learned. Marion Wilson, who led District 31 schools for three and a half years, was swept out of her office on Sept. 20, and told to report to the Department of Education’s Tweed headquarters in Manhattan. Wilson “will be transitioning to a central team,” Danika Rux, deputy chancellor for school leadership, said Monday in an internal announcement, without any explanation for the swift and stunning ouster. Sources said she will...

Two faculty members condemned “white ownership” of Shakespeare and the state’s manipulation of black history during an “Appropriation Series” at Arizona State University last week. The scholars are pushing for changes in curriculum and leadership that reflect more “diverse” voices. During the panel, they spoke to eleven ASU students in the audience and other faculty members via Zoom. English Professor Ruben Espinosa argued that Shakespeare’s legacy has been manipulated for purposes of exclusion and viewed through a lens of “white superiority.” He said that for the Jan. 6 “insurrectionists” at the U.S. capitol, Shakespeare represents a symbol of “white exceptionalism”...

The boss of a Minneapolis food pantry, funded by city taxpayers, has banned white people from taking advantage of the resource. Mykela 'Keiko' Jackson used a Minnesota State grant to launch the Food Trap Project Bodega designed to help poor and hungry residents living close to the Sanctuary Covenant Church in the north of the city. The pantry only opened up on July 27 but within months it has been forced to close and relocate away from church grounds after Jackson attempted to block white people from accessing the service, including a local chaplain who complained.

The Irish government has abandoned plans to implement controversial new hate speech laws following widespread backlash from free speech advocates. Justice Minister Helen McEntee confirmed on Saturday that Dublin will drop new hate speech provisions in the proposed Criminal Justice Bill, admitting that the “incitement to hatred” section of the legislation did “not have a consensus,” the Irish Times reports. Critics of the speech restrictions have noted that the government failed to actually define what constitutes “hate” and therefore the law would have given broad powers to the state to crush dissent. The scope of the draconian powers would have...

The classic example of chutzpah is that of the child who murders his parents and then pleads for mercy as an orphan. With the 2024 presidential election, we have a new way to illustrate the point: the candidate who condones violence, dehumanizes his opponents and whips his supporters into a frenzy, then turns around to condemn the harsh rhetoric of his opponents and call for peaceful discourse. Following the second attempt on his life in as many months, Trump blamed Democrats for casting him as an existential threat to American democracy. “Look,” his running mate JD Vance said on Monday,...

The radical Cornell University prof who lauded the Hamas terror attack on Israel as “exhilarating” and “energizing” dodged any punishment and is now back teaching at the upstate Ivy League school. Shamed history Professor Russell Rickford was out for the past year on “voluntary leave” after widespread public outcry when he was recorded at an off-campus anti-Israel rally cheering Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, invasion that slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. ““It was exhilarating, it was energizing ….I was exhilarated,” Rickford said at the time — before apologizing for applauding the mass murder of innocent civilians. ... Rickford is now teaching at least...

A poll released by the University of Chicago via the Chicago Project on Security and Threats offers a chilling account of the growing radicalism in America, particularly after the second foiled assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump, the poll found that 26 million Americans believe “the use of force” is justified to keep Trump from regaining the presidency. As discussed in my book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” we have seen an increasing level of rage rhetoric in our political system. For some, violent language can become violent action. There is a normalization that...
