It’s “black history month.” So what? I’m not black; I don’t care. In fairness, I’ve never cared about any of these ethnocentric “celebrate diversity” kinds of garbage divisions Democrats try to cram down our throats, mostly because I celebrate accomplishments, not irrelevant characteristics over which no one has any control. I’m old school; I prefer to judge people based on who they are as people, not their melanin levels. It’s why I would’ve made a horrible Democrat at any time in their history. I will say, however, that this black history month,

So I finally saw the Black Panther movie about Wakanda. Had the biggest guffaw for a scene in a long time. The end of the movie and peace is restored to Wakanda. The leads walk thru an open mall there. It looks exactly like a cheap tourist shop at the African pavilion of a wild animal park. All those technologies but what's available? Loud-colored cloth, woven baskets and clay pots! That's "black history" in a nutshell; maybe the past had an accomplishment or two but the present is full of cheap Chinese knockoffs.

I used to teach. The schools would have a BHM program where black kids and blacks from the community put on a boring program. All the non-black kids hated and despised it.

Instead of reliving Black History for a month, lets do Blank Future Month! Oh that's right, they have no future if they keep voting Democrat. We see a future with all schools being dumbed down to meet the lowest I.Q. possible so all win graduate. We see a future when NO black will ever be arrested or sent to jail for any crimes against non-blacks or businesses. I wait for the day when the loyal black voter violently turns on their masters, the Liberal Democrats, because there are no more non-black victims to be found.

Back in the bad old days the Armed Forces Radio and TV Network in Europe and the Pacific would flood the airwaves every February with that propagandist BS. Like all their mandatory race relations classes, they did more harm than good. I see nothing has changed since then.

Before their tribal chieftains began selling off their excess people, the history consisted of tribes constantly at war with each other with the victor dragging prisoners back to their village to be roasted and eaten. Not enough action there to even bother writing it down.

A passenger on a cross-country United Airlines flight captured shocking video of the “wing coming apart” while the plane was making an emergency landing. Kevin Clarke was among the 165 passengers aboard the Boeing 757-200 on the flight Monday from San Francisco to Boston when the right wing appeared to start shredding. He caught video of the horrifying incident as the plane made an emergency landing nearly 2,000 miles from its planned destination. “Just about to land in Denver with the wing coming apart on the plane,” Clarke is heard saying moments before landing in the clip posted by his wife.

WASHINGTON — President Biden has given first dog Commander to relatives, the White House said Wednesday following revelations of more brutal attacks on Secret Service employees — including a case in which White House tours were suspended to mop up blood from the floor of the East Wing and another attack where an agent suffered a “severe deep open wound” at Biden’s Delaware vacation home. Commander’s propensity for biting Secret Service members was first revealed by The Post in July 2023, with internal documents showing at least seven agents were injured — but the president didn’t immediately part with the German shepherd

Two suspects have been arrested in connection to the break-in of a Secret Service vehicle parked outside the Washington, DC, home of President Biden’s granddaughter, according to court documents and the federal law enforcement agency. Robert Kemp, 19, and an unnamed juvenile were taken into custody earlier this month after a Secret Service investigation into the November 2023 incident in DC’s tony Georgetown neighborhood, where Naomi Biden lives and receives Secret Service protection. Kemp was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and theft from auto, according to the Secret Service. However, court filings in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia

Chicago has a problem with retailers closing their doors, pulling up stakes, and getting the hell out of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. Without warning last week, a KFC franchisee "abruptly" shuttered three South Side locations. One outlet, located in Chatham, had been "undergoing renovations for months" when the franchise owner apparently just gave up and boarded up the windows instead. According to the same Fox 32 Chicago report, the Great KFC Vanishing came "less than one month after Cinema Chatham, a local movie theater, shut down." That closure also came without warning. Sixth Ward Alderman William Hall said, "A closed business is not only a sore eye,

Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated. In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.” What, you’re telling me people don’t want to see this guy’s face

When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) isn’t busy fraternizing with Chinese spies, it appears he enjoys feeding his wanderlust and appetite for the finer things at the expense of campaign donors. The lawmaker has reportedly spent considerable sums of campaign funds to travel the globe, partake of fancy dinners, spend time at luxury spas, and a host of other extracurricular activities. Swalwell’s campaign shelled out over $2.1 million in these diversions last year, with expenses spanning from chauffeured cars to childcare. The question is: Will he face any accountability for this?

Let's begin with one of life's truths. The American Democrat Party is the most hypocritical organization on the face of the earth. Yeah, I know; you already knew that — but this article will more than illustrate that truth. When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis first began shipping busloads of illegal aliens to northern "sanctuary cities," state and local Democrat leader lost their ever-loving hypocritical minds. Welp, as more and more illegals continued to find their way north, plaguing cities like New York City, Chicago, and even Denver, a funny thing happened to the sanctuary-city mindset: "We gotta get these illegals outta here!"

In United States immigration policies and practices, all of the incentives are tilted the wrong way. Immigrating to the United States legally is time-consuming and expensive; crossing the border illegally is not only free but comes with plenty of free stuff and benefits. Now, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is about to tilt those incentives still further the wrong way, as they are raising the cost of becoming an American citizen. Fees associated with becoming an American citizen are set to rise on April 1, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced.

The Democratic Party is a group of insufferable children, spoiled and entitled, throwing a constant series of temper tantrums without interruption. They are the brat kid in your child’s class, constantly indulged with hugs and reassurances that they’re “special” and important, when what they really need is a butt-reddening series of spanks that make it difficult to sit for a week. That won’t happen because leftists don’t have any adults on their side. Well, maybe that’s overstating it a bit – they have adults, but they aren’t interested in acting like one.

Ever since transgender individuals have been allowed to participate in sporting events of the gender with which they identify, people with more than two fully functioning brain cells have been issuing warning after warning about the physical dangers posed to biological females by competition against biological males. Such warnings were met with cries of "bigot" and other such name-calling. However, case after case has emerged proving the concerns are completely valid.

It was widely expected that Joe Biden wouldn't serve out a full term as president. Even in 2020, his mental decline was obvious to anyone who watched him on the campaign trail. Few, if any, actually expected that he'd seek a second term. PJ Media's Rick Moran noted a mere ten months into Biden's term that he was governing like he knew he wouldn’t seek reelection, and I agreed. Some believed that the only reason Biden and the White House were even claiming that Biden's plans to run was to “avoid weakening his standing,” which made sense and was an appropriate strategy. But the inevitability of a one-and-done for Joe Biden

President Joe Biden on Thursday revealed that two journalists privately told him they would have to leave the country if Donald Trump won the election because he has threatened to jail them. Biden made the claim as he addressed wealthy donors in California and spelled out the dangers of a second Trump term. He singled journalist Katie Couric who was among the audience. ‘Katie, there’s two of your former colleagues, not at the same network, told me personally that if he wins they have to leave the country because he’s threatened to put them in jail,’ he said.

There is excellent news for the American industry, economy, and international trade sectors. The discovery of colossal rare earth deposits in Wyoming could essentially restructure the global supply chain of these crucial elements in the near future. A discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth elements (REEs) in a mine outside of Sheridan, Wyoming, has generated great excitement across industries stateside. For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.

President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump. The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations. The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.

It's been a hell of a week for the Joe Biden foreign policy shop at Foggy Bottom, and that has now extended to Turtle Bay. The two-state solution that Joe Biden wants to impose on the two parties currently at war in the Middle East, a solution neither side will ever accept in the near future, is a myth that's also threatening to collapse the Democratic Party from within.

A new stage production of the highly popular coming of age play Peter Pan will seek to eliminate some of the original songs for the Native American characters, to rewrite the scenes to offer Native Americans a “safe place,” and to cancel the “stereotypes” and “caricatures” of Native peoples. The latest Broadway revival has hired Lakota playwright Larissa FastHorse to rewrite the book for the new touring production because, in her words, the original play by J.M. Barrie “had caused harm to people.” “When you read the original material, it’s very hurtful, it’s blatantly hurtful."

At issue were Trump's statements over the weekend at a rally in Michigan, where he criticized Carroll's lawsuits and called them unfair. Crowley indicated that they're keeping tabs on Trump's public statements, waiting to pounce. “We certainly watch them. It’s hard not to,” Crowley told MSNBC's Jen Psaki. “Every time Donald Trump speaks, you know, I think as we said at trial many times, he has the biggest megaphone in the world, and so everyone hears them,

Just to be different but at heart, I was as enamored of John F. Kennedy as the nuns at my high school. My first vote was for Democrat Hubert Humphrey, and I worked for Robert F.

Before that epiphany, I was as clueless as the rest of America, and when a German coworker asked me the difference between the two major parties,
