Saule Omarova, President Joe Biden’s nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), called during a March 2021 virtual conference to eliminate all private bank accounts and deposits. Omarova discussed one of her papers, “The People’s Ledger How to Democratize Money and Finance the Economy,” which would help “redesign” the financial system and make the economy “more equitable for everyone.” She said it would change the “private-public power balance” and democratize finance to a more systemic level. During her conference speech, she said, “There will be no more private bank accounts, and all of the deposit accounts...

The six-member City Council of Hamtramck will consist of all Muslims starting in January, another historic first for the metro Detroit city known for its sizable immigrant population. The newly elected mayor, Amer Ghalib, 42, is also Muslim, which means all of the city's elected officials will be Muslim. In Tuesday's election, three candidates who are all Muslim were elected and will join three current City Council members who are also Muslim. Five of them are immigrants and one is a convert to Islam with ancestral roots in eastern Europe. Advocates with Muslim groups and experts say they do not...

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) on Wednesday said it would be “unAmerican” not to prioritize Medicaid expansion in the Democrats's social spending package amid an intra-party clash over health care priorities. Clyburn is a leading advocate of including in President Biden’s Build Back Better plan a provision for the federal government to step in and provide Medicaid coverage in the 12 GOP-led states that have so far declined the coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

"Critical things to think about in 2021. " I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is changing for the worse."

The U.S. Navy has removed a training document that appeared to conflate socialists with terrorists, following The Intercept’s publication of that document on June 22. “The course manager directed the immediate removal of the ‘Training Guide / Assignment Sheet 2-1-2 / Introduction to Terrorism/Terrorist Operations’ on June 23, and the command is conducting a focused review on terrorism-related curriculum to ensure we don’t have unintended messaging,” said Dave Hecht, a spokesperson for the chief of Navy personnel. A second department official not authorized to speak publicly confirmed that the document had been removed from training manuals. The document included a...

At this point, saying that the leaders of Black Lives Matter Corporate and many of the leaders of local chapters are ignorant racists is a moot statement. Americans have been divided into two camps: Those who see the truth and those who still think fighting racism with more racism is a great idea. Nevertheless, it’s good to point out when anyone in BLM expresses their true feelings in hopes that some who still support them will realize they’ve made a mistake. Case-in-point: A Facebook post by the Utah chapter of BLM that they posted on Sunday. “When we Black Americans...

American pride resonates with most segments of the population, though not with young adults, according to a new poll. Only 36% of respondents aged 18 to 24 said they were very or extremely proud to be American, a new Issues & Insights/TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics survey found. That made the age group the only tracked demographic in which pride falls below 50%. The poll found an almost identical percentage (35%) of the 18-24 group saying they are only slightly or not proud at all to be an American.

A task force surely composed of college graduates (aka Marxists) has attacked America’s Founders, ideas, and architecture. The National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”), unofficially founded along with America but officially founded in 1934, exists to preserve historic American records and document government activities. Sadly, it’s currently staffed with hardcore Marxists who hate America, both its history and its current configuration. That is the only conclusion one can draw from an NARA task force report saying that NARA, is structurally racist, from the reverence shown for those who created this nation to the architecture of the classical NARA building. Here’s...

Rudy Giuliani’s law license has been suspended. In a ruling handed down by the New York State Supreme Court Thursday, the state’s Attorney Grievance Committee successfully moved to have the former New York mayor’s license suspended. Specifically, Giuliani’s actions related to his defense of former President Donald Trump were to blame, according to the court. “We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at...

Findings from a new North Dakota State University survey reveal that the majority of students identifying as liberal or liberal-leaning are not proud of America. In response to the question “Are you proud to be American?” 57 percent of liberal identifying students answered ‘no’. This is in contrast to the 73 percent majority of conservatives who answered ‘yes’ to the same question. This response was generated from a nationwide survey which asked over 400,000 students from more than 1,000 American college campuses questions about their feelings on a number of social and political issues. NDSU publicly announced the survey on...

Vice President Kamala Harris came under fire Saturday for tweeting about Memorial Day, but without mentioning the significance of the weekend. "Enjoy the long weekend," Harris wrote, above a candid photo of herself smiling. Social media users condemned Harris’ lack of tact reminding the vice president of the sacrifices the "long weekend" is meant to honor. [snip] "It is Memorial Day weekend - [not] for enjoying - but for memorializing our fallen," wrote another. "Our brothers and sisters, who 'gave the last full measure of devotion. Please try to respect that." The tweet was shared with an image of a...

President Joe Biden revoked an executive order Friday to create a National Garden of American Heroes, initially planned by former President Donald Trump. Biden also revoked Trump’s order to prevent online censorship, and his order to protect American monuments. Biden could have modified Trump’s initial order but instead revoked it entirely. The White House did not say why Biden revoked his predecessor’s executive orders but sent the text of his order to revoke Trump’s priorities to reporters on Friday afternoon. Trump announced his plan to build a monument to the greatest Americans in history in July 2020, when leftist radicals...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday said Joe Biden is “proud” of UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield after she trashed the United States and called America’s founding documents and principles racist. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the National Action Network that if America is going to join the UN’s Human Rights Council, we must acknowledge our own failures.

An asinine Bloomberg op-ed suggested that maybe it’s best if people who lost energy jobs under President Joe Biden’s eco-extremist agenda don’t get the new green jobs he falsely promised at all. Bloomberg Opinion Editor Mark Gongloff’s op-ed was headlined, “Our Single-Minded Drive to Create Jobs Has Its Drawbacks.” Gongloff’s sub-headline was just as ludicrous: “On some issues, including green energy and immigration, an absence of American jobs can be a good thing.” The story led off with two assumptions that were just awful: “Maybe we don’t actually want green jobs [to rectify for the fossil fuel jobs Biden is...

A major election-time story involving claims that Russia put bounties on American troops in Afghanistan imploded on Thursday when the White House revealed that U.S. intelligence does not have conclusive evidence that the reports were ever true. Intelligence assessments, first reported by the New York Times last June, allegedly revealed that the Russian government had secretly offered bounties for successful attacks on American soldiers in Afghanistan. Democrats seized on the story to paint Donald Trump as a traitor willing to do the bidding of the Russians even at the cost of American lives.

The Pentagon is looking into better screening recruits’ and service members’ social media as part of its effort to get rid of “extremism” in the United States military, according to a recent memo from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

By Dr. Peter Jones The Phrase “Cancel Culture” “Cancel culture” came into the collective consciousness around 2017, after the idea of "canceling" celebrities for problematic actions or statements became popular.[1] American institutions and corporations now engage in censorship that was previously unimaginable, piling on critiques of a person, business, movement, or idea. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other Big Tech giants conduct coordinated censorship efforts, silencing important voices and shutting down civic dialogue. Former President Donald Trump is still banned from Twitter and other social media platforms, as are other prominent conservatives. Says The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan, “Cancel culture...

The opposition of major corporations such as Coca-Cola and Delta to a Georgia election law has drawn attention to an alliance of more than 1,000 companies that, in effect, have identified themselves as opponents of voting integrity. The Civic Alliance boasts on its website that its membership has grown to 1,119 companies that employee more than 5 million people. "As a coalition of businesses, we use our voice, our brand, and our reach to strengthen our democracy. We support safe, accessible, and trusted elections, and we inspire our employees and customers to participate in civic life," the alliance says. However,...
