The Virginia Republican Party said Tuesday that some voters are incorrectly being told at some polling locations in the state that a mask must be worn – as residents cast ballots on a slate of contests including the state's high-profile governor's race. "There have been several reports from voters who say they were told by poll workers that they are required to wear a mask in order to vote," read a tweet from the Virginia GOP account. "To be clear, if someone is not wearing a face covering they may NOT be turned away or refused their right to vote."...

These days, “black oppression” is a tactic used in dirty politics. But in my early life, it was very real. The Jim Crow days were a landscaped wilderness between slavery and freedom – a mirage of freedom. But I’ll spare the stories. It’s over. Holding on to that stuff is like walking around with a corpse on your back. Drag it around for too long and your soul rots from moral gangrene – a spirit of revenge if you have power; a spirit of resentment if you don’t. If you have both, you become Maxine Waters. So, no. During the...

As parting shots go, it packed quite a punch. But then it had been coming for some time. In an open letter announcing his resignation from Portland State University in Oregon, assistant philosophy professor Peter Boghossian condemned his former employer as a “social justice factory, whose only inputs were race, gender and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division”. What had once been a bastion of free inquiry was gripped by “a culture of offense where students are too afraid to speak openly and honestly”. His broadside echoed right across the United States. […] Today, most US universities...

Angry white liberals assaulted Republican candidate Larry Elder in California yesterday. The leftists hurled eggs at Elder during his campaigning today. The leftists beat his aide in the street! One woman in a monkey mask hit the man. Video below: Twitter Linkhe Dems tend to forget the history as it exposes them as racists and we decided to take a look 65 years back in the past just to find the same energy in a different era! Here are the Democrats back on September 23, 1957: Here are the Democrats on September 8, 2021: History, busting a rhyme! Images below:...

The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate across New York City restaurants Tuesday has sparked an instant backlash, with business owners branding the move 'segregation' and confused customers finding themselves turned away from eateries. Mayor Bill de Blasio's controversial 'Key to NYC' scheme officially kicked off August 17, marking the US's strictest rule to date which separates the vaccinated and the unvaccinated in day-to-day life. And it is restaurant servers and bar staff who must be the public enforcers of the mayor's new mandate. -snip- Mary Josephine Generoso, manager of pastry shop and diner Pasticceria Rocco in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn,...

When NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio threatened unvaccinated citizens a few weeks ago, he wasn’t messing around. In a brand new press conference, the failed NYC Mayor outlined the incredibly long list of businesses and establishments you’ll be banned from in the Big Apple if you’re not inoculated with the experimental jab. In short, starting on Tuesday, they are going to try their best to make life a living hell for the unvaccinated population. The full list is included below, but some of the most commonplace businesses you’ll be banned from are ALL restaurants, bars, grocery stores which contain indoor...

A full 72 percent of young, black New Yorkers are about to be denied service and the right to work in New York City restaurants, gyms, and theaters. The far-left New York Times reported Thursday only 28 percent of black New Yorkers aged 18 to 44 years are vaccinated, “compared with 48 percent of Latino residents and 52 percent of white residents in that age group.” And they won’t only be denied service; they will also be denied the right to work at these establishments. [cut] Why would anyone trust a media that for three years told us Donald Trump...

For the past several months, we’ve seen the left fighting against election integrity reforms in the states. They reject such reforms and are trying to impose a federal takeover of elections to force changes to state laws that would facilitate, whether intentional or not, greater fraud and tampering.But that’s not the only reason they are fighting.They are also using this fight as a Trojan horse to get something even bigger: the death of the Senate filibuster. Once the legislative filibuster is gone, the floodgates will open for all their extremist policies — not just the federal takeover of elections, but...

New York City is mandating proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter certain indoor businesses--including all indoor restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday. "It's time to people to see vaccination as necessary to living a good and full and healthy life," de Blasio said during his daily press briefing. "This is crucial, because we know that this will encourage a lot more vaccination." The program, which de Blasio dubbed the "Key to NYC Pass," makes New York the first major city to create such a mandate...

Breaking News: New York will require proof of vaccination for indoor dining and gyms, Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to announce. It’s believed to be the first U.S. city to do so.

Liberals boasted that the election of Joe Biden meant a return to sober, restrained presidential rhetoric and an end to unhinged mean tweets. Biden wouldn't be a divider; he'd be a uniter to get things done. That's nothing like current reality. But when Biden uncorks crazy hot talk, the media are supportive repeaters. On July 16, NBC reporter Peter Alexander tossed a softball: "On COVID misinformation, what's your message to platforms like Facebook?" Biden gave a wild-eyed answer: "They're killing people." He said it twice. NBC, as well as CBS and PBS, just passed it along — with some Facebook...

Republican "anti-voting" laws, President Joe Biden claimed during his demagogic speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia this week, are the most "significant test of our democracy since the Civil War." These laws are "odious," "pernicious," "vicious," "unconscionable," a "subversion" and "suppression," the "21st-century Jim Crow" and the sure sign of an emerging "autocracy." Biden's fabricated panic offers lots of space for hyperbole but precious little room for specifics. I was prepared to fact-check Biden's contentions about new election laws, but the president offered few details. Perhaps he comprehends that most Americans would probably find voter-integrity laws rather innocuous....

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is an experienced lawyer, skilled in the great game of words. She made a good living craftily parsing words at one of the city’s top law firms. Law firm politics, played on carpets in board rooms is one thing. But Chicago politics played on the concrete and asphalt of the blood-spattered Chicago Way is another. And as a rookie mayor clearly overwhelmed by the job, she’s publicly proven herself to be woefully inept at leadership, crisis management and the dark arts of politics. She has lost the city. She lost it when she failed to stop...

The Congressional Black Caucus has determined that newly elected Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) cannot be a member because he is not a Democrat. Caucus Chair Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) questioned Donald's blackness, alleging that "the fact that he is a Republican and a Trump supporter argues that he is not authentically black. As President Biden has pointed out on several occasions 'if you're a Republican, you ain't black." Donalds objected to "the implication that all blacks must think alike when it comes to politics. Historically, it has been Democrats that have played the bigger role in suppressing the voices and...

Joe Biden has been calling SB 202, the law in Georgia designed to secure elections from fraud, Jim Crow. The example he gives in speeches is that people are not allowed to have food and water at the polls. That is not true, and it has nothing to do with SB 202....

On Thursday’s broadcast of Comedy Central’s “Daily Show,” Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) admitted that she supported preserving the filibuster in the past, but she “learned from” how Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) conducted himself when he was in the majority “and also that the filibuster is a vestige of the Jim Crow days.”

When President Trump allowed hours to go by while antlered idiots meandered about the Capitol we accused him of dereliction of duty. Now, Democrats sit by and wait for inevitable violence and destruction to occur as a result of the Derek Chauvin verdict. Scratch that. They’re not all sitting by. Representative Maxine Waters is taking it to the streets in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, literally encouraging violence. Obviously, Waters is insane but she is just one of the many arsonists in the Democratic party. From municipal leaders to the President of the United States the chorus has been consistent: Black men...

<p>Joe Biden and the Democrats perpetrated a lie about the new Georgia election law.</p><p>Biden literally compared it to “Jim Crow,” calling it “Jim Crow on steroids,” and saying he supported Major League Baseball pulling the All-Star Game out of the state.</p>

The big lie works -- until it doesn't. The big lie in this case is Joe Biden's charge that the changes in Georgia election law passed by the majority-Republican legislature and signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp on April 1 are "Jim Crow on steroids." This was doubling down on his March 25 press conference statement that the law "makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle." This isn't the first time Biden has charged Republicans with racism. During the 2012 campaign, he told a predominantly black audience that Mitt Romney "wants to put y'all back in chains." That of course...
