The aunt of an Iowa college student who authorities say was murdered by an illegal immigrant is imploring people not to make assumptions based on the alleged killer’s nationality. “Please remember, evil comes in EVERY color,” Billie Jo Calderwood wrote Tuesday night on Facebook, alongside a black-and-white photo of her 20-year-old niece Mollie Tibbetts. “Our family has been blessed to be surrounded by love, friendship and support throughout this entire ordeal by friends for all different nations and races,” she added. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”

Ultraliberal Hollywood and all of 'LIBERAL MEDIA' hate and are deathly afraid of Donald Trump It was Bob Dylan who put together the phrase, “... Money doesn’t talk, it SWEARS.” And that is about the first level up from the bottom-line reason behind most of the problems we have in the world today. At least, the reason for bulldozer-powerful LIES mowing down what is left of today’s rapidly disintegrating civilization. In 1984, I watched a disintegrating Democratic Party turn itself completely over to the dark side when Jesse Jackson introduced his ‘Rainbow Coalition’. The DNC at that point became the...

The next time we hear about a conservative college professor forcing his/her students to support a political position will be the first time such news comes to us. Pulling stunts like that is the province of the Left. Like most people of the Left, college professors are cowards and bullies who will do anything to force Americans to support their causes. Leftist college professors have created a “hostile” environment in our college classrooms. From first-hand experience I know this has been the case for at least forty years. Being one of only three straights (of 25 students) in a cynically...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hispanics now outnumber African-Americans for the first time in most U.S. metropolitan areas, shifting the political and racial dynamics in cities once dominated by whites and blacks. Census figures released Thursday highlight the growing diversity of the nation's 366 metro areas, which were home to a record 83.7 percent share of the U.S. population.

THE GREAT BLACK-HISPANIC SPLIT IT GOES FAR BEYOND CLINTON VS. OBAMA By STEVEN MALANGA Jackson: Long term, couldn't ease blacks' fears on immigration. January 22, 2008 -- FIERCE fighting over the minority vote may be the real surprise of the '08 Democratic race, with many blacks gravitating to Sen. Barack Obama and Hispanics to Sen. Hillary Clinton. But this split isn't just about these candidates; it's been a long time coming. The tensions have many sources, but the one few analysts

Black anger grows as illegal immigrants transform urban neighborhoods. Terry Anderson is angry. From his KRLA-AM radio perch in Los Angeles, the black talk-show host thunders, “I have gone on the streets and talked to people at random here in the black community, and they all ask me the same question: ‘Why are our politicians and leaders letting this happen?’ ” What’s got Anderson—motto: “If You Ain’t Mad, You Ain’t Payin’ Attention”—so worked up isn’t the Jena Six or nooses on Columbia University doorknobs; it’s the illegal immigrants who allegedly murdered three Newark college students last August. And when he...

Rainbow Coalition racism By Tribune-Review Something to consider, though. The superheros of the black movement -- Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton -- are noticeably absent when a black Republican is attacked. They have no problem donning their race-card capes when a liberal black is attacked. But they had a hard time finding Maryland on the map when New York Sen. Chuck Schumer's henchmen did an illegal credit check on Michael Steele. Where was their outrage? Their circus-like news conferences?

South Central Los Angeles ushers in a new era of racial tension—this time between blacks and Hispanics. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition has a ways to go in Los Angeles, where Mexicans and blacks are killing each other at record rates. The action is particularly hot in South Central Los Angeles and in nearby Compton, two areas that have undergone a dramatic shift during the last two decades from virtually all black to half or more Hispanic. Most of the schools in these areas are now majority Latino, something I could not possibly have imagined when I was in high school...

On a day meant to celebrate a great man and his legacy, all Americans should be grateful. We should all be grateful for our freedom, for our quality of life, for our neighbors, and for this entire country we call home. Yet every year new outcries of inequality and hatred arise on this day. What a shame for Dr. King’s legacy.

Martin Luther King Jr. would have supported same-sex "marriage," a former aide to the slain civil rights leader said last night at an event sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution's Anacostia Museum.     Speaking of King's "Christian commitment to a socially conscious democracy," former Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) activist Jack O'Dell asked, "Why would he exclude people because of their sexual preference?"     The homosexual rights movement is "another dimension of the struggle for human rights," Mr. O'Dell said at an annual observance of King's birth, held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. He described as "unconscionable" the November...

In his recent op-ed column in the Chicago Sun Times, Rev. Jesse Jackson claimed, “Republicans have no monopoly on religion or faith”. I agree. No social ideology has a “monopoly” on religion or faith. No political party can claim to be the voice of God. Rev. Jackson, you’re absolutely right. He goes on to make a point that, during the presidency of George W. Bush, “poverty...including childhood poverty...is up.” To tell you the truth, I don’t know if he’s right, or not on this. He didn’t site any statistics. He didn’t quote any figures. He just said, “under this president,...

Forget Florida. And Ohio. And Pennsylvania. The next President of the United States may well be elected in Michigan. In 2000, Al Gore carried the Wolverine State by more than 200,000 votes. This year's conventional wisdom has conceded it to John Kerry. Two weeks ago, Democratic operatives began telling reporters that Michigan was in the bag. They were wrong. Last Thursday, a poll in the Detroit News put President Bush ahead in Michigan by 4 points. A Knight-Ridder survey showed the race is a virtual tie. This came as a shock to the Kerry camp, which has concentrated its efforts...
