The FBI recently released its file on deceased Cleveland Browns football legend Jim Brown, revealing that agents monitored Brown’s First Amendment-protected activity as he was funding a film about the black nationalist movement. The FBI’s illegal surveillance of Brown was part of COINTELPRO—its 1960s-era operation where undercover agents infiltrated and subverted American anti-war and civil-rights organizations. COINTELPRO was exposed by in the 1970s by the Church Committee during its investigation into abuse by the FBI, CIA and other federal agencies. According to the FBI documents released Friday, the U.S. government was concerned about a film project Brown was helping fund...

Forgive all outstanding student loans? Sure, why not. What this means is that all other taxpayers, that’s you and me, will pick up the cost and pay more taxes. And the price is really not all that much, is it? There are over forty-three million U.S. borrowers who owe nearly $1.6 trillion altogether in federal student loans. That’s 1,700,000,000,000 dollars. The average amount of debt by students who graduate is less than $20,000. About six percent owe $100,000 or more. So why is the government even involved in lending and guaranteeing student debt? According to the Council on Foreign Relations,...

As the nation celebrates the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Russell invoked the civil rights icon Monday in a plea for action in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The NBA legend tweeted a message quoting King in a call for accountability for President Trump for his role in inciting his supporters to march on the Capitol before they ransacked the building in an assault that claimed five lives. Russell framed his message as a matter of “good vs. evil” and quoted a passage from a sermon King delivered in New York...

Okay, call this a vanity as I'm listening live on Fox News and there is no video yet. Will add it later. President Trump, Kanye West, and Jim Brown at the White House moments ago. Interesting give and take with the reporters. Kayne up front that Stop and Frisk is bad, President Trump says he's listening. Kanye West shut down question on guns with observation that the problem with guns is illegal guns and that citizens have the constitutional right to bear arms. Great.

Democrats need 90% black turnout and 90% black support in order to win elections on a national scale. Anything that erodes either number is a mortal threat. And they must be sensing softness, if not outright desertion in the face of three factors: 1.     Blacks have done far better under Trump than Obama in terms of rising employment opportunities and rising wages. The growth in manufacturing employment in particular has pushed up wages in the segments of the labor market with heavy black participation. Very few people of any color prefer life on food stamps and unemployment insurance to...

The loud calls for impeachment, the media’s coordinated editorial attacks and the continued outrage on the left call for an obvious diagnosis—Trump Derangement Syndrome. Thankfully, a few who might be tempted to join the attacks are sharing truths to help treat the poor people so afflicted. Have you heard anyone explain what President Trump has done that is a crime? Where is the “high crime” that is an impeachable offense? Even Special Counsel Mueller has not yet identified any crime after months of investigation. Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus and long-standing Democrat, appeared on Tucker Carson’s Fox...

Pro Football Hall of Famer and Cleveland Browns legend Jim Brown panned current football players who choose to protest during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, saying “I don’t desecrate my flag and my national anthem.” Brown, who fought for social causes throughout his career, told ThePostGame.com he empathizes with jobless quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who began the trend of kneeling during the anthem last season when he played for the San Francisco 49ers. But Brown said Kaepernick and other players who demonstrate – such as a dozen Cleveland players who knelt Monday – are going about their crusade the...

NFL Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown does not believe President-elect Donald Trump to be an “illegitimate president.” He said Monday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.” that Trump won the election “fair and square,” and he will be supporting Trump even though he backed Hillary Clinton for president.

Not sure how many people saw this and I didn't see it posted so I wanted it to get some visibility. The race hucksters are not happy about the meeting with Jim Brown and Ray Lewis. They are deathly afraid that Trump can make serious in roads into the black community. Obama is starting to feel like he is no longer the President (which is probably why he's yelling about Russia now) and interviews like this is probably a big part of that.

Marc Lamont Hill said Jim Brown's comment that he "fell in love" after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday is "disturbing." "For Donald Trump to have gone through -- to suggest that he's going through some admirable process is disturbing to me. So I don't have any admiration for Donald Trump or his process," Lamont Hill said to Don Lemon on Tuesday's broadcast of CNN Tonight. "I don't have a problem with Jim Brown saying, look, we want to do urban development," Lamont Hill approved. "We want housing. We want to make demands of you, but to say you...

(Great 2min Video - CNN racist baiter gets slapped down by Jim Brown. He seems like a class act - comes across very sincere. He made that CNN b***h look like a pathetic fool. The donkeys must be terrified with people like Jim Brown and Ray Lewis flocking to Trump)

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Jim Brown, noted NFL great, I told you yesterday he was at Trump Tower with Ray Lewis. Jim Brown came down the elevator after speaking with Trump and just gobsmacked the assembled media. He said, "I love Donald Trump." After meeting with Donald Trump, Jim Brown said, "I love this guy." Jim Brown said, "The three most important men in my life were white." People who gave him his first opportunity, his mentor, and his coach. So he doesn't look at this as a racial thing. What he heard Trump say about wanting to revitalize African-American neighborhoods...

NFL icon and civil rights leader Jim Brown, a former Hillary Clinton supporter, sang President-elect Trump's praises after meeting with him at Trump Tower earlier Tuesday, and predicted Trump would stay in office two terms. "He's going to be our man for the next four years at least, probably eight, and he's amenable to listening to people who did not vote for him," Brown told CNN. "I fell in love with him because he really talks about helping African-American, black people and that's why I'm here."

Famed Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown speaks to CNN after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday. JIM BROWN: We're not bourgeoisie, we're not above the people. But I feel in love with him because he really talks about helping African-America, black people, and that's why I'm here.

This week, he decided to take another shot at Tiger Woods, complaining yet again that Tiger doesn't do enough to promote social justice for minorities. In his recent interview for HBO's Real Sports, he said: "He'll run over you, he'll kick your ass, but as an individual for social change, or any of that kind of s*** Terrible. Terrible. Because he can get away with teaching kids to play golf, and that's his contribution. And in the real world, man, I can't teach no kids to play golf and that's my contribution, if I got that kind of power."

A Kansas pastor says by endorsing Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services secretary, Senator Sam Brownback "violated the scriptures and his own church's teaching" and "betrayed" many conservative Christians who had been his largest base of support. Senator Brownback (R-Kansas) joined home-state colleague Pat Roberts and seven other Republicans Tuesday to help Kathleen Sebelius win approval (65-31) to serve as HHS secretary. The nomination of the Kansas governor -- which Brownback has supported since it was announced almost two months ago -- was controversial because of her failure to pay taxes and her lack of honesty regarding the large...

Warner Bros. today will launch a service giving the public the opportunity to custom-order DVDs of films never before released via the medium. The move is seen as a response to dwindling DVD sales and also to customer demand for titles that while not totally obscure, didn't necessarily generate enough heat to merit a full-on DVD release. The Warner Archive Collection, available at WarnerArchive.com, includes films dating back to the silent age and for $19.95 per disc Warners will burn, package and ship for receipt within an estimated five days. Currently there are 150 titles available with for a total...

After years of barging over husky defenders on the gridiron, ex-Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown is attempting to tackle two serious video game heavyweights in court. According to Bloomberg, Brown has filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment America and Electronic Arts over using his likeness in the popular Madden football series. He seeks a court order preventing either company from continuing to use his likeness in the franchise as well as damages stemming from trademark violation. At issue is the starting running back on Madden's "All Browns Team." The character is African-American and bears the same jersey number Brown...
