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...

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 National Baptist Convention of America (NBCA) is one of the largest black religious organizations in the country, often hosting annual gatherings that draw prominent speakers. This year, Louisiana appeals court judge Sharon Wilson took the stage and delivered, unsurprisingly, an inflammatory and politically charged race-baiting speech. Wilson accused Donald Trump of harboring racist motivations and claimed his criticism of Haitian immigrants stemmed from his supposed anger over the Haitian Revolution—an event over 230 years old. Even I was dumbfounded by the sheer stupidity of that claim. The leap in logic here would be laughable if it weren’t so reckless....

The Air Force finally handed over a trove of documents pertaining to its sweeping “goal” of reducing the number of white male applicants in a popular officer program after spending months stonewalling requests for their release. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown — at the time the highest-ranking member of the Air Force — issued a memorandum in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers, in a bid to prioritize “diversity and inclusion.” Internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation include a slideshow from 2022 where...

Reverend Dr. Jacqui Lewis said on MSNBC’s broadcast of “The Saturday Show” that former President Donald Trump is “exactly like” Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Host Jonathan Capehart said, “Give me your response to what Donald Trump is doing?” Lewis said, “It’s outrageous but expected by an authoritarian who wants to take us to Nazi Germany. We exploited racism, fascism to Nazi Germany. We know how to do it.” She continued, “Let’s not pretend that Donald Trump isn’t exactly like Mussolini, exactly like Hitler, he is that guy. I want to say something to the American people. I live in a...

TRUMP LAWYERS MUST FILE FOR AN IMMEDIATE MISTRIAL..

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump was “often engaged in racial arson.” Host Jake Tapper said, “I wanted to get your reaction to something President Trump said recently about vice president harris and her race at an event for black journalists take a listen.” At a NAJB event in July, Trump said, “I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don’t know.”

Workers placed a bronze statue of the late Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) on the grounds of the Dekalb County Courthouse Friday — the same site where a Confederate monument was removed in 2020. Internationally acclaimed sculptor Basil Watson, who designed the 12-foot-tall statue, watched as the statue was placed ahead of its official unveiling planned for Aug. 24. “It’s exciting to see it going up and exciting for the city because of what he represents and what it’s replacing,” Watson told The Associated Press. Lewis, who represented Georgia in Congress for over three decades, first rose to national prominence during...

A woke female judge has been suspended after she accused a prosecutor of going after 'every young black man,' in addition to allegedly changing a jury's verdict and convicting a defendant of a crime that didn't exist. The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled 5-2 to remove 19th Judicial District Judge Eboni Johnson Rose from her elected post on an interim basis - with pay - amid a formal investigation by the Louisiana Judiciary Commission, NOLA.com reports. The Court ruled that she 'presents a substantial threat of serious harm to the public,' and said there 'does not appear to be direct precedent...

After the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his Saturday campaign rally, one Baltimore, Maryland professor is claiming that she and other Black Americans justifiedly wish that the attempt to kill “evil” Trump had been successful. In a July 15 opinion piece published by NewsOne, Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Morgan State University, wrote of hypotheticals surrounding a successful attempt, stating that Black Americans “are wishing for the death of evil”. The piece, titled “‘Is He Dead?’ Why Black People Are Not Grieving The Failed Assassination Of Donald Trump”, explores how Black Americans would supposedly have responded...

MSNBC's Joy Reid suggests Trump might not have been hit by a bullet at all, hints that the entire attack might be staged

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! trashed the Republican National Convention on Tuesday when guest host Anthony Anderson called it “The White People’s Choice Awards” — continuing the woke left’s belief that being white is a moral failing. Anthony Anderson also called the RNC the “No Soul Train.” The actor-comedian appears not to have watched the RNC because if he had, he would know the convention has spotlighted numerous non-white speakers. Monday’s speakers included Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, and Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue.

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show” that Republican men and women didn’t have “the courage or the patriotism to stand up for democracy.” Host Jonathan Capehart said, “I’m starting with you, because you predicted years ago, you said I’m counting on Stormy. Your reaction to Thursday’s incredible verdict?” Waters said, “It’s a sad day. I’m still shocked and amazed that his supporters would follow him with the lies and the distortions that he continues to give to the American people. He says it is rigged. He says, if they can do this...

Tara Setmayer, a former Republican congressional staffer turned member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, was a guest on Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend. Here's how she vilified the people whose names are apparently in the running as Trump's running mate: "They're despicable hypocrites. These are the worst people, because Donald Trump couldn't become who he has become, the malignancy of Trump could not have spread like this without the enablers. "Plain and simple: these are Vichy Republicans. And for the historians out there, they will appreciate what happened to the Vichys during World War II.""What happened to the Vichys?"...

"Eastman’s motion fails to demonstrate that he no longer presents a threat to the public."I was privileged to listen to John Eastman speak twice and lay out his case at David Horowitz Freedom Center events, including at the Restoration Weekend in New Orleans and at an event in Los Angeles. Both times, Eastman spoke compellingly about what he had gone through in the lawfare campaign to destroy him for representing Trump.State Bar Judge Yvette Roland, a Kamala donor, who had specialized in employment law, as a president of the Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, had been appointed to...

California professor and Black Lives Matter activist Milena Abdullah — announced Wednesday as independent presidential candidate Cornel West’s VP pick — has regularly pushed defunding police departments and is on record claiming “virtually everything is racist” — even being a Taylor Swift fan. Abdullah, 51, is the co-founder of the Los Angeles BLM chapter and the former chair of the department of Pan-African Studies at California State University. She, like West, has been outspoken about racial relations in the US. In February, Abdullah said she felt like it was “slightly racist to be a Taylor Swift fan” as the music...

The Caucus of African American Leaders of Anne Arundel County (CAAL) has called on officials to consider renaming the recently-collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, arguing that the author of the national anthem “demeaned black people” with the song's lyrics and that he had slaves. Key, a Maryland native who wrote a poem that served as the basis for America’s national anthem the Star Spangled Banner, should have his name scrubbed from the new bridge when it is built, and that it should instead honor Parren J. Mitchell, the first black man from the state to be elected...

<p>A California judge on Wednesday recommended the disbarment of John Eastman, calling to revoke the law license of one of former President Donald Trump’s top allies in his failed last-ditch gambit to subvert the 2020 election.</p><p>Judge Yvette Roland, who presided over months of testimony and argument about the basis of Eastman’s fringe legal theories, ruled that the veteran conservative attorney violated ethics rules — and even potentially criminal law — when he advanced Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results based on weak or discredited claims of fraud.</p>

On March 8, 2024, U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman decided against a federal ban on gun ownership for illegal immigrant Heriberto Carbajal-Flores. The case at hand centered on Carbajal-Flores, who was “charged with possession of a firearm while illegally or unlawfully in the United States.” He had a handgun in his possession “in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois,” on June 1, 2020. He was charged for being a non-citizen in possession for a firearm. Coleman ultimately concluded, “The noncitizen possession statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), violates the Second Amendment as applied to Carbajal-Flores. Thus, the Court grants...

New York Attorney General Letitia James says the Saratoga Springs Police Department, along with a top city official and the then-mayor, unconstitutionally retaliated against Black Lives Matter protesters. The report says those protests that began in May 2020 — following George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police — were peaceful, and that “although they could be raucous,” there was no evidence any people or property were harmed. Per the report, then-Mayor Meg Kelly and Public Safety Commissioner Robin Dalton ordered Police Chief Shane Crooks to both arrest protesters at a July 14 rally and open a child protective...
