For some time I have wondered how to explain the cause of the Civil War in simple terms that are easy to understand. I now see that Ayn Rand did it years ago. Laws passed by a Northern controlled Congress routed all the money produced by the South into Northern "elite" pockets.

The three black killers of White teenager Ethan Liming in Akron, Ohio, have finally been indicted for their brutal beatdown by a Summit County grand jury. Instead of the murder charges that the community has long been clamoring for, all three have been issued with lesser charges by the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office. According to court records, Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20, Tyler Stafford, 19, and Donovon Jones, 21, were indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and assault, a far cry from the charges of murder and felonious assault that were originally issued. The three black men have pleaded not guilty...

"I will remember December 23, 2016 for the rest of my life. It was my last day working a full-time job. My wife and I retired early at 33 and 35, respectively, after accumulating $870,000 working in information technology. With the help of the market, our net worth increased to $1 million shortly after."

A Yale medical school professor took to Twitter over the weekend to complain about the White House’s claims that Joe Biden is putting in 8+ hours of work a day while he’s sick with Covid. Dr. Kimberly Sue said Joe Biden working with Covid “epitomizes white supremacy.”

Law enforcement was caught off guard by a white supremacist group's demonstration in Boston last weekend, according to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. Both Wu and U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins said they were told by Boston Police and the FBI that neither agency had advance warning that about 100 members of the group Patriot Front planned to march through downtown Boston wearing face coverings. Investigators said they are now reviewing video recordings from the scene to identify members who allegedly assaulted a Black person. Wu said the city needs to be better prepared for the next time there's a...

A friend and I play a game—he reads a headline and I try to guess whether it’s real or from the Babylon Bee. With each year, my guesses are less accurate. The latest headline that stymied me was this one: “Health Officials delay meeting because ‘urgency is a white supremacy value.’” The Bee, I guessed. Wrong! In today’s crazy world, that was a real headline. This particular headline came from Twitchy, but you’ll see variations of it across the conservative internet as normal people once again struggle to understand how the left side of the nation went completely bonkers. The...

With all the (alleged) social justice activism recently, we are supposed to be living in a nirvana of racial equality. We are supposed to be sensitive to anything that could be perceived as a racial bias, as it could offend others. We were warned that what some find humorous, others may find hurtful and insulting, and we must curb our speech. And, in an effort to treat everyone fairly, we have been told we must stop the aggression in our speech — both micro and macro. Yet all of these guidelines get completely ignored when it comes to one specific...

Democrats are lying to Americans about the most likely motivations for mass murderers and the prevalence of guns in violent crime.In his Buffalo, New York speech last week following a mass shooting, President Biden showed he still has only two things on his mind regarding crime: guns and white supremacists.No one can defend white supremacists. But with violent crime soaring and this latest attack in Buffalo, people want something done. Yet Biden’s agenda won’t make people safer. “Look, we’ve seen the mass shootings in Charleston, South Carolina; El Paso, Texas; in Pittsburgh. Last year in Atlanta. This week in Dallas,...

Democrats have been bragging that ‘demographics is destiny’ for years. But a more diverse electorate isn’t voting the way they’d hoped. In the immediate aftermath of the massacre in Buffalo, New York, where a deranged white supremacist killed 10 people, elite opinion quickly settled on the real culprit: Republicans. The New York Times spelled it out explicitly in an editorial this week, claiming Republican politicians and conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson, “openly espouse versions of a white supremacist conspiracy theory holding that an orchestrated effort is underway to displace white Americans.” The Times is of course referring to so-called “replacement...

President Joe Biden spoke in Buffalo, New York, after meeting with the families of the victims of the mass shooting in a grocery store Saturday. “White supremacy is a poison. It’s a poison. It really is. running through our body politic. And it’s been allowed to fester right in front of our eyes,” Biden said. “No more. I mean no more.”

Assuming the gunman who shot up the Buffalo, New York, grocery store really was motivated by anti-black racism, let’s do what the media do when faced with an Islamic terrorist who goes on a killing spree in America and just refer to him as a “lone wolf,” a mentally unstable individual who in no way reflects any broader phenomenon or trend. Except, unlike with violent Muslim extremism, that characterization in this case would be true. Despite what the media, Democrats, leftists, and, of course, the permanent Washington bureaucracy say (over, and over, and over again), there is no imminent, large-scale...

When Vladimir Putin declared that a primary objective of Russia’s invasion was to “de-nazify” Ukraine, the political elites and their media went ballistic. Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, said flatly, “There are no neo-Nazis in Ukraine.” The truth? The CIA has been organizing, funding, and training Nazis and developing fascist assets inside Ukraine for 75 years. Nazis are a powerful and growing presence. In 2014, the CIA and U.S. State Department engineered a coup that overthrew Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s democratically elected pro-Russian president. The United States replaced him with a pro-American, anti-Russian president—and the Nazification of Ukraine kicked...

When it comes to so-called black people, there's one inescapable truth, and it is that they exist to be victims. Their self-esteem may be found in melanin, but they find their value in claiming the highest rung of immiseration. Those who identify as such may contest what I've just said, but they cannot disprove it by their behavior and hebephrenic emotional adherence to same. In brief, those I reference live their lives as victims. Victimology is the agreed upon mentality that gives valuation to their existence. Heaven forbid anyone dares to say the lid that covers the trash can of...

Lt. Col. Allen West on Life, Liberty & Levin Sunday, April 24 at 8pm eastern on Fox News. 'It is very sickening' to witness the Russia Ukraine war.

SNIP “I had a perfect, a perfect example of what a man was in my life by my father. My parents have been together for 36, 37 years now and it’s a beautiful thing,” Newton said, according to Mediaite. “I grew up in a three-parent household. My mom, my father, and my grandmother. And I knew what a woman was, not a bad xxxxx.” SNIP “A bad xxxxx is a person who is just, you know, ‘Girl, I’m a bad xxxxx, I’m doing this, I’m doing that. I look the part but I don’t act that part.’ And there’s a...

Selling Marxism has been a tough row to hoe in America, though that's not to say that those selling it haven't made inroads toward getting us there. But our laissez faire roots and inherent disdain for the anti-freedom control mechanisms needed to sustain outright communism have made it difficult for the peddlers to find the necessary buyers over the years. That's why they've gotten creative in recent decades, finding their magic beans, so to speak, by suggesting that "people of color" tend to be financially less well-off than white people, thereby establishing racial inequity as a substitute for class struggle....

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas delivered a speech to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference in New York City on Friday. He told those attending the conference that “the greatest terrorism-related threat that we face in the homeland is the threat of domestic violent extremism.” Mayorkas dug in a little deeper and blamed social media and other online platforms for an “increase in hate”, specifically naming White supremacists as “the most prominent threat” to the United States. He used the example of bomb threats to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In recent months there has been an alleged uptick...

Sean Hannity came to the defense of The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg on Tuesday's episode of Hannity, shortly after the news broke that Goldberg had been suspended for two weeks by ABC. Goldberg faced immediate backlash on Monday following remarks she made on The View that the Holocaust “was not about race” but rather about “man’s inhumanity to man.” Snip “I think her apology is sincere. I think she’s learned a lot in the process. If two weeks off is the penalty, it’s better than being canceled,” Hannity said. “

The Nebraska Cornhuskers gave its cartoon mascot an upgrade to make sure there were no associations between Herbie Husker and white supremacy. In the original logo, Herbie Husker is making an "OK" gesture. Some over the last few years after connected the symbol to white supremacy – three straight fingers making a ‘W’ and the circle formed next to an extended finger make a ‘P.’

Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel suggested Saturday that "White supremacy" could be to blame for the attack on a Texas synagogue by a British national seeking the release of a convicted terrorist dubbed "Lady Al-Qaeda."
