A major coalition of Black faith leaders in Georgia, representing more than 1,000 churches in the state, will call on Tuesday for a boycott of Home Depot, arguing that the company has abdicated its responsibility as a good corporate citizen by not pushing back on the state’s new voting law.
The call for a boycott, led by Bishop Reginald T. Jackson, who oversees all 534 African Methodist Episcopal churches in Georgia, represents one of the first major steps to put significant economic pressure on businesses to be more vocal in opposing Republican efforts in Georgia and around the country to enact new restrictions on voting.
“We don’t believe this is simply a political matter,” Bishop Jackson said in an interview. “This is a matter that deals with securing the future of this democracy, and the greatest right in this democracy is the right to vote.”
This is not the first time Waters has publicly called for violence against political opponents. In 2018, while speaking to supporters in Los Angeles through a megaphone, Waters encouraged her followers to harass and mob Trump supporters and Trump Administration officials if they were seen in public.
American Greatness"Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) spoke to a gathering of rioters in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota on Sunday and encouraged them to cause more violence if they do not get the outcome they like in the trial of Derek Chauvin, as reported by the Daily Caller.
"The radical Democrat, wearing a mask and goggles, falsely declared that Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was guilty of “murder” in the death of George Floyd last year. Floyd died in police custody after being arrested by Chauvin and three other officers for erratic behavior that was consistent with being under the influence of drugs; the autopsy report later confirmed that Floyd did indeed die of a fentanyl overdose.
" 'We’ve got to stay on the street,” Waters said, “and we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.” Waters was speaking at a riot that was ostensibly happening in response to the more recent death of Daunte Wright, who was killed by a police officer when she accidentally reached for her firearm instead of her taser; Wright had a criminal history that included a then-pending case for aggravated robbery, and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest at the time he was shot." . . .
Joe Collins, a Navy veteran who ran against Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., in November argues that she is 'very dangerous' and her actions and rhetoric are 'absolutely irresponsible.'
. . . "For some reason, the Biden administration seems to want to give that sort of craven propagandizing a boost.
"Racial discrimination against minorities is a chronic sickness in American society.”
“…the challenges facing the United States in human rights are deep-seated. They did not just emerge over the past four years, such as Black Lives Matter.”
“[S]lavery is the original sin of America. It’s weaved white supremacy and black inferiority into our founding documents and principles.”
"What distinguishes these relatively similar remarks about America’s flawed past and imperfect present? The first two were delivered by Communist Chinese officials in an effort to embarrass the United States on the world stage. The third is an indictment of the United States by the United States itself.
"That particular remark comes from the head of the American mission to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, in a March speech before the UN General Assembly. She recently reiterated the themes of that speech in an address to the non-profit group founded by Rev. Al Sharpton, the National Action Network. “Of course, when we raise issues of equity and justice at the global scale, we have to approach them with humility,” Thomas-Greenfield conceded. “We have to acknowledge that we are an imperfect Union and have been since the beginning.' ” . . .
I honestly relish the thought of Waters testifying under oath before a lawyer hired by Trump. It would be glorious if this took place at the same time as Congress was vettng her continued membership.
Thomas Lifson "By traveling across state lines to incite the mob in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, Maxine Waters has opened the door on her possible expulsion from Congress, as Andrea Widburg notes today. But she may have shot herself in her other foot when it comes to the lawsuit she and other Democrats have filed against former President Trump over the January 6 Capitol incursion. Jonathan Turley explains:
Waters insists that Trump telling his supporters to go to the Capitol to make their voice heard and "fight" for their votes was actual
criminal incitement. Conversely, Waters was speaking after multiple nights of rioting and looting, telling protesters to stay on the streets and get even more confrontational.
Waters has now guaranteed that she could be called as a witness by Trump in his own defense against her own lawsuit.

Dershowitz to Newsmax TV: ‘Disaster’ to Add More Supreme Court Justices
. . . "It would be a “disaster for the Supreme Court” if a Democrat bill to add four more justices to the bench is approved, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax TV Saturday.
“ 'It would be a disaster for the Supreme Court and it would be a disaster for freedom of speech and due process,” Dershowitz said on Newsmax TV’s “Saturday Report.” “If the Democrats get a chance to pack the court, they’ll pack it with radical opponents of free speech and due process, people who call themselves progressives but are really regressives.”…
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she does not favor the expansion, but Dershowitz pointed out Saturday that in her comments, she said that times have changed and there may still be regional and other considerations that require expanding the number of justices.
“ 'That’s total nonsense,” Dershowitz said. “The Supreme Court is the most underworked institution in the American government. They decide fewer than 100 cases a year. They have four or five law clerks each and they don’t work all that hard.”
"He added that there is no real reason to expand the number of justices, except to add people who are the “ideological” match of people like Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., in the court."
"CNN’s Brian Stelter was confronted by Project Veritas reporter over the recent bombshell series of undercover videos exposing the "propaganda" agenda at the far-left "news" network.
"The explosive videos show a CNN director telling an undercover reporter that the network worked to get rid of President Donald Trump.
"He also boasted that CNN creates “propaganda” and smears people who are a "problem for the Democratic Party."
With the three branches of the federal government in radical woke hands, the Constitution would become the plaything of the totalitarians. Gone would be the traditional concept of free speech; and with it, the media would, like corporate America, continue as handmaidens of wokeness.
American Thinker "Democrats seek an increase membership on the Supreme Court of the United States from nine to 13. At present, the high court is divided among 6 Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees. The four additional justices, presumably to be named by Biden, would change the divide to 7 Democrat appointees and 6 Republicans. But considering the drift of Chief Justice John Roberts toward the liberal clique, the actual division on the high court is five conservatives and four liberals. Thus, the Democrat plan to add four justices to the Supreme Court reflects overkill, arguably." . . .
. . . "To borrow a phrase used by. the late Yale law professor Alexander Bickel, in having achieved total domination of White House and Congress, by however slight a margin, the left is moving to "kick over the traces" to transform the country into a one-party state. A Supreme Court in radical woke hands would complete the governance trifecta -- legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government in radical woke hands.
"What legislation would be beyond the bounds of radical woke tyranny?" . . .

American Thinker "Ida B. Wells, born into slavery in 1862 and orphaned at 16, rose to fame as a journalist by shining light on things we didn't want to see — in particular, the horror of lynching. Five thousand Americans were lynched over 90 years, three quarters of them black. The numbers don't account for the notoriety of the practice; rather, the demonic zeal of its practitioners does. Even reading about it will turn your stomach. Do not look at the photos they displayed with pride of charred bodies. Lynch mobs spread terror among non-white people and those who would defend the rule of law.
"Ida B. Wells proposed a solution. "A Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home," she wrote, "... for that protection which the law refuses to give." "The only times an Afro-American who was assaulted got away," Ida noted, "[were] when he had a gun and used it in self-defense."
"Translated for today, Wells's proposal will sound radical to some. The Civil War began with muzzle-loading muskets but ended with breech-loading rifles firing modern cartridges. The Winchester lever-action debuted in 1873. The “gun that won the West" was a repeating rifle that stored as many as a dozen cartridges in a tubular magazine fitted under the barrel. Someone armed with a Winchester could fire as fast as he could work the cocking lever and pull the trigger. Fans of old westerns like The Rifleman recognize the gun. It allowed an individual a new level of self-defense against multiple attackers. Atticus Finch used it to face down the mob in To Kill a Mockingbird. No one improved on it until 1905, when the self-loading, or semi-automatic, rifle made the lever unnecessary — its more advanced action loads a fresh cartridge from a magazine each time the trigger is pulled.
"When Wells was writing, the Winchester, battle rifle of the U.S. military, was state-of-the-art. Wells wanted one in the hands of every black family. Its modern civilian counterpart is the AR-15." . . .
Ida B. Wells and the Campaign against Lynching - Bill of Rights Institute . . . "Among the outraged African Americans who lived in Memphis at the time was journalist Ida B. Wells, who was in New York when the murders occurred. She had been born a slave in 1862 during the Civil War, and afterward her family became active in the Republican Party and the Freedman’s Aid Society. Wells was known for standing up to the humiliations of segregation." . . .
Ida B. WellsIda Bell Wells-Barnett (July 16, 1862 – March 25, 1931) was an American investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the civil rights movement. She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).[1] Over the course of a lifetime dedicated to combating prejudice and violence, and the fight for African-American equality, especially that of women, Wells arguably became the most famous Black woman in America.[2] . . .
A CNN employee continues to give away devastating trade secrets - American Thinker"As is always the case with Project Veritas, it doesn’t stop with one video. Instead, day after day, there’s a steady drip, drip, drip of incriminating videos about Project Veritas’s target – in this case, CNN. Two days ago, we learned that CNN boss Jeff Zucker instructed employees to do everything they could, including lying, to ensure Trump’s loss and Biden’s win. On Thursday, the latest video revealed that you weren’t imagining it when you suspected CNN of deliberately slanting its racial coverage to protect Blacks and Black Lives Matter.
"There’s an interesting change of tone in Thursday’s video. In the video released on Tuesday, CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester was boastfully triumphant as he explained how CNN deliberately set about to undermine Trump and bolster Biden. He was proud of the “propaganda” that pushed Jeff Zucker’s (and, presumably, all of the CNN employees’) partisan agenda.
"In the latest video, about CNN’s deliberate effort to hide a malefactor’s race if he or she is Black, Chester seems sad and confused. He clearly finds it disheartening that the plaster saints he’s constructed in his own mind every time he thinks about Blacks actually have some ugly breaks in them.
"The video opens with Chester confessing to doing his own research and discovering unmediated facts about the rash of attacks on Asian people: . . ."
"These videos are fascinating but it’s important that the correct people see them. After all, Leftists don’t care that lying, manipulative propaganda is being used to advance their agenda. Meanwhile, conservatives already know that this is happening and are simply happy to have corroboration. It’s the independents, the ones who naively think the media is honest, who need to see this video so that they can fully understand that they’re living in a world of lies and start seeking the truth."
Twitter has purged Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe, who will file a lawsuit against them Monday, but the show goes on, right? O’Keefe is in the midst of revealing multiple videos on his outlet’s investigation into the inner workings at CNN.
"In the newest video, Chester admits to researching Asian hate and the attacks they’ve endured recently, but found that it was primarily black men who were assaulting them.
“ 'A bunch of black men that have been attacking Asians,” he said. “I’m like, ‘What are you doing?'” . . .
. . . "How does killing 1.4 million jobs raise people out of poverty? Well, Mitt Romney appears to be willing to participate in this economic experiment for which we all know the outcome."
"If there’s one Republican senator who is not only totally useless but can always be expected to do the wrong thing, it’ll be Mitt Romney. Lisa Murkowski is a close runner-up, but Romney’s latest move is just more proof that this man remains a traitor to the party. He voted with Democrats to convict Trump in both of their impeachment efforts. The only group in Utah that truly likes the jobs he’s doing are the few Democrats who live there, and now he’s working with them to increase the minimum wage. Why Mitt? Why (via Huffington Post):
Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) are in the process of crafting bipartisan legislation to increase the minimum wage, Romney confirmed to HuffPost on Wednesday.
“We’re negotiating a minimum wage proposal which we would ultimately take to our group of 20 and see how they would react to it and go from there,” Romney said, referring to a bipartisan group of 20 senators who are hoping to find ways to make the Senate function better.
The Utah senator declined to share more details about the proposal, including its timeline. A spokesperson for Sinema did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hell, as even Snopes had to concede Vice President Kamala Harris “encouraged her supporters to donate” to a nonprofit called the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) that was bailing out members of the mob arrested for rioting after George Floyd’s death.
American Thinker "In the archives of legal fiction, two characters best embody historic liberal self-perception. One is attorney Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird fame. The other is Juror #8 in the 1957 film, 12 Angry Men. Today, each is an endangered species.
"In his defense of Tom Robinson, a black man accused of rape in 1930s Alabama, Atticus ignored public opinion. He stared down the mobs intent on extra-legal justice and protected his ”mockingbird” as best he could. The unlikely mockingbird today is former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. As Chauvin learned quickly, if he did not know it beforehand, today’s vestigial liberals identify not with Atticus but with the mob.
"Hell, as even Snopes had to concede Vice President Kamala Harris “encouraged her supporters to donate” to a nonprofit called the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) that was bailing out members of the mob arrested for rioting after George Floyd’s death.
"Chauvin’s crime, like Robinson’s, was being of a certain race in a society that increasingly sees justice only through the prism of race. Like the fictional Robinson, the real-life Chauvin represents one of a long and growing line of sacrificial lambs offered on the altar of racial “justice” to expiate the nation’s imagined sins." . . .
