For what it's worth, I don't think that Ms Hendrix ever planned on being a charity funding superstar, but all the planets lined up and it happened. Primarily, she tapped into the anger of all those Whites who are absolutely sick of black and brown criminality but haven't yet dared to speak out, pressing that 'donate' button made them feel better about themselves.

A white woman has gone on trial over claims she racially abused an autistic black boy in a playground after a spat over applesauce. Shiloh Hendrix, 37, was filmed allegedly calling a young black boy the 'N-word' at a park in Rochester, Minnesota, last April.

The family of the five-year-old boy who was subjected to racial slurs from a white woman during a viral altercation at a Minnesota playground are calling for her to be charged. Video of the woman, identified as Shiloh Hendrix, was recorded at Soldiers Field Memorial Park showing the white tattooed woman holding her toddler while being confronted by a man who accuses her of calling a young black boy the 'N-word.'

Hendrix is charged with two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct stemming from the April 2025 incident at the Roy Sutherland Playground at Soldiers Field Park. The Jimale's testimony, through a Somali translator, against Hendrix reportedly contradicted what he had told investigators during his first interview in 2025. He had not gone to police about the incident until after the video went viral...

The Pentagon artificial intelligence chief on Monday said Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot is tantamount to national security in a sworn statement that noted xAI’s technology has been used throughout the Iran war. Cameron Stanley, the chief digital and artificial intelligence officer for the Department of Defense, wrote that the chatbot “enabled U.S. forces to deploy over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury, a testament to the greatly increased operational efficiency made possible by the Grok Gov Model.”Stanley’s statements were used as evidence in efforts by the Trump administration to preserve the xAi data...

The NAACP is calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities in states that are taking steps that the nation's oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights. The NAACP's campaign calls out Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina as states to boycott, arguing that the athletic programs of those states' flagship universities are especially reliant on Black athletic talent and should protect Black political interests. The Congressional Black Caucus on Monday sent a letter to the commissioners of the SEC and ACC athletic conferences, as well as NCAA...

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision on the landmark voting rights case of Louisiana v. Callais, while arguments were heard in the Virginia Supreme Court in Scott v. McDougle. In Callais, the Supreme Court held that Louisiana’s congressional map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ordered that the judgment be issued to the lower courts immediately, rather than in 32 days, allowing Louisiana to redraw its congressional maps immediately. In McDougle, the state held a referendum vote to temporarily amend the state’s constitution to allow...

Liberal columnist rushed to blame free speech law, Trump A guy holding a provocative sign with the n-word on Kansas State University’s campus is actually black, not a white guy blackface, according to the student newspaper. Last week someone showed up at the public university campus holding a sign that read “Say [n-word] win candy.” The incident understandably upset a liberal columnist, but he also rushed to blame a recently passed free speech law as well as Donald Trump supporters. He later had to amend the article after it came to light the sign holder was not a white person...

The island of Manhattan boasts so many soaring towers, that it’s hardly news when a new one shoots up—even if its spire pierces the clouds. That said, now and then, there’s an exception in the form of an ambitious architectural masterpiece, like the west side’s new 90-story Affirmation Tower, a five-tiered, terrazzo-clad skyscraper that, upon closer inspection, appears to be upside down. Developed by Don Peebles, the chief operating officer at the Peebles Corporation, and designed by AD100 architect Sir David Adjaye, Affirmation Tower is as symbolic as it is enormous (1,663 feet tall and two million square feet.) Not...

Environmental groups are legally challenging a permit that Mississippi granted to xAI allowing the company to build a massive, methane gas-burning power plant in the state. The permit application had "deficiencies," like inaccurate air pollution estimates, the groups said, adding that regulators rushed what should have been a careful process. Now part of SpaceX, xAI wants to build the power plant to provide electricity for its data center in nearby Memphis, Tennessee, and another one coming in Southaven, Mississippi. Elon Musk's xAI, now owned by SpaceX, is facing a new legal challenge from environmental groups in Mississippi, where the company...

The Greater Springfield NAACP wants colleges — including the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst College and Holyoke Community College — to address surging Turning Point USA chapters on their campuses. The conservative group ramped up here and around the country after founder and spokesman Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during an event at a Utah university in September.

The unidentified teacher was suspended with pay after making the comment on February 24 as outraged parents fumed to the Merrillville School Board. 'This is what he thinks about our kids,' one parent said at the Tuesday board meeting. 'I'm not getting over this... now we see this coming from the president also.' Parents in the school district angrily voiced their complaints at the board meeting, as the Gary branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has launched an investigation, the Chicago Tribune reported.

A California community is reeling after hearing the news that a local pastor was allegedly caught trying to meet a person he thought was a minor for sex. James David Stockton, 54, was arrested on Saturday by Signal Hill police after an online citizen group called "Caught Fished" said it had documented inappropriate messages with the pastor. Stockton is the pastor at South Bay Church of God in Torrance. He ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2024, and before that he was a leader of the NAACP in Marion County. The group provided some of the texts to KTTV-TV...

I don't spend a tremendous amount of time on social media or listening to people's podcasts, but I have noticed over the past few weeks that there are now people who seem pretty convinced that the "official story" about what happened to Charlie Kirk is some kind of artificial narrative designed to conceal a much darker truth. The darker truth, according to people like Candace Owens, is that Kirk was assassinated by some combination of US government and foreign entities for reasons that aren't entirely clear but which may have to do with his feelings about something related to foreign...
