Hakeem Jeffries Shows How Black Racism Is Baked Into The Cake

Leftist POC's and their spokes-tool Obama-mentored Joe Biden will not let it go. Let our nation rot away as long as it gets votes. TD

  American Thinker  "As one would expect, Hakeem Jeffries, the first Black minority Speaker of the House, denied his history as a racist. Like many blacks, he may believe he can’t be a racist because blacks don’t have the “power to effectuate their prejudices,” or when blacks slur whites, they aren’t slurs because they’re truisms to achieve equity. Jeffries’ position highlights why American anti-racism programs won’t be successful until they eliminate that mindset and, instead, encourage blacks to be honest about their racism.

Black economist Walter Williams said: “Racial discrimination and racism in our country could have earned a well-deserved death, but it has been resurrected by race hustlers and poverty pimps as I call them, such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton… who make a living on the grievances of blacks.” If Williams were still alive, he would have a longer list of well-known race hustlers, like Hakeem and several other senior people in Washington.

In 2013, Hakeem was asked about his overtly racist and anti-Semitic Uncle Leonard Jeffries. He said he had only a vague recollection of Leonard’s controversial positions. “There was no internet during that era.”

Last week, articles surfaced that made a mockery of his answer. Hakeem had invited his uncle to speak at Hakeem’s college, Binghamton University. Jewish students objected, noting the recent controversy surrounding Leonard’s being asked to step down as the Chairman of Black Studies at the City College of New York after a speech in which he called the president of the college the “Head Jew” of the “kabala” of Jews running the college. He also said Jews financed the slave trade.". . .

Commenting on race baiter and anti-Semite Al Sharpton, Kamala said, “Rev, I love you! And I thank you, on behalf of all of us, everyone, for all that you do and all that you are ... you are always a voice of truth ... you are part of the conscience of our country.”

"Though it is finally cooling, lingering effects are still seen with the cultural furor surrounding the beer brand Bud Light. There were a number of missteps regarding the poor decision to involve transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, and one of the aspects that have come to light is how those in charge of the brand have been engaging in corporate woke culture.

"Many have seen the video of Alissa Heinerscheid, the VP of Bud Light, laying out her intentions for the beer brand to use a lexicon of woke culture and insult her out-of-touch customer base. But she is not alone. Also involved in things was Anheuser-Busch's vice president of communications, Jennifer Morris. In a prior interview, she laid out some of the goals for the company as she envisioned things:

Anheuser-Busch is in a unique position to bring attention to DE&I issues in a way that brings consumers along on the journey to drive positive change and create a more equitable world…we can leverage our scale and resources to further conversations around DE&I and help consumers understand the difference they can make as individuals. . .

 Have a Cold Bud Light, Not a Woke One; Anheuser-Busch blundered badly by indulging ESG.  "Anheuser-Busch is losing customers over Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, but the company’s problem is more fundamental. The brewer has fallen in line with other companies engaged in “stakeholder capitalism,” which prioritizes broad social issues over shareholder value."...

At the conclusion of Mulvaney’s transition [he] dubbed “365 Days of Girlhood,” the beer maker sent the activist custom-made can’s featuring [his] face, which [he] revealed in an April 1 Instagram post with the hashtag #budlightpatner. [He] later posted another video enjoying one of the beers in a bathtub.

Named & Shamed: 51 Big Companies That Hate Conservatives

 Slay News

In recent years, corporate America has become increasingly “woke.”

It’s no secret that hundreds of large U.S. corporations have adopted woke policies.

These policies involve regularly injecting left-wing ideals into their products, services, and employment practices.

But some of these businesses have recently gone much further than merely promoting social justice causes, however.

This radical agenda had led to companies choosing to target conservative customers and employees.

Americans have been coerced or forced into abandoning their deeply held beliefs in order to receive important goods or services or even hold onto their jobs.

Although many conservatives have heard stories about corporate discrimination in recent years, they have often struggled to keep track of which businesses have been part of this movement.

Of course, large numbers of corporations have also largely stayed on the sidelines.

A new project launched by the nonprofit organization 1792 Exchange aims to shed light on this important problem.

The 1792 Exchange recently launched its Spotlight Report

The report assesses more than 1,000 companies’ “policies, practices, and other relevant criteria to determine the likelihood a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs.”

Simon Ateba Stands Up for Values the US Press Once Held

 Simon Ateba Stands Up for Values the US Press Once Held  (independentsentinel.com)

Our media is corrupt, and so is this administration. As if that isn’t bad enough, Biden, the figurehead, our own Jefferson Davis, is running again.

"The African reporter, Simon Ateba, asks some tough questions. As a result, Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) rarely calls on him and is rude when she does. KJP is a notorious liar who never answers a question. Mr. Ateba reflects the values Americans and the American press used to have."

"Peter, really? Is that a question? Really, Peter? That's really uncalled for Peter," scolded the first gay black Press Secretary. "You should frankly know better than that. You are being rude to the rest of the people in this room who are here to do their jobs of handing me pre-screened softballs which I then hit out of the park with the killer lines in this binder someone gave me." Babylon Bee

. . .
"Mr. Ateba tweeted this today:"

“As I keep pressing for answers, she keeps protecting the President. @PressSec Karine Jean-Pierre dislikes me 99 percent of the time, and likes me 0.0001 percent of the time. The worst part is when we meet at that restaurant outside the White House.

“After a big fight in the briefing room, what do we say to each other? It’s always awkward. The next day in the briefing room, she calls on the person on my left, the one on my right, the person right in front of me and the one right behind me. Then skips me as I raise my hand.

“She makes it clear that she is calling on everyone around me except me. Then other reporters who don’t want to face the same consequences begin to tell her ‘Thanks Karine’ after she answers their questions. They become submissive, thanks for calling on me, thanks for answering my questions, thanks for doing me a favor.

"Reporters shun him."

“In the briefing room, they try to keep their distance from me, being associated with Simon means maybe not getting called on. One reporter blocked me from taking an empty seat during Biden’s speech, I just pressed forward and sat down." . . .

Louisville bank shooter reportedly massacred innocents in an effort to justify more gun control in America — and Democrats were ready to oblige him

TheBlaze "A neighbor of the shooter told the New York Post that the apparent gun-control activist's 13-page manifesto was discovered by his roommate Dallas Whelan. It is now in the possession of the Louisville Police Department.

"The Daily Mail reported that the manifesto made three key points: "He wanted to kill himself, he wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and he wanted to highlight a mental health crisis in America."

"If accurate, then Democrats may have made use of the slaughter of Josh Barrick, Deana Eckert, Tommy Elliott, Juliana Farmer, and Jim Tutt Jr. as their killer intended.". . .

Sturgeon reportedly hoped to showcase how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and wanted to highlight the mental health crisis in America. He also planned to end the slaughter by suicide — a wish that was granted when he was shot to death by police officers when he brandished his firearm. Sturgeon’s manifesto is reportedly in the hands of the Louisville Police Department.

Hunter Biden investigation infected by ‘politics’ and ‘preferential treatment’: IRS whistleblower

 Hunter Biden Reportedly Getting Preferential IRS Treatment, Per IRS Whistleblower (legalinsurrection.com)  "An attorney for an IRS Whistleblower has approached Congress seeking to have this client disclose information under Whistleblower protection to Congress. While the letter doesn’t say who is the target, CBS News is reporting that it is about Hunter Biden.". . .


. .."Specifically, the agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division.

"He also alleges that Weiss told agents on the case that the Delaware U.S. Attorney asked to be named a special counsel to have more independent authority in the probe but was turned down, according to interviews.

"The agent also alleged that specific DOJ employees placed strictures on questions, witnesses and tactics investigators may be allowed to pursue that could impact President Biden, according to the interviews.

"The sources said the agent’s decision to blow the whistle was prompted by sworn testimony from Garland that Delaware U.S. Attorney Weiss had full authority, free from political pressure, to pursue a case against Hunter Biden in any part of the country, according to interviews.". . .

The promo for my hour-long interview on Tucker Carlson Today was supposed to run several weeks ago, but was bumped and then bumped again and then bumped again by the Trump indictment circus news cycles. It finally dropped today.


"I previously wrote about my hour-long interview on Tucker Carlson Today, the most intense interview I’ve ever done, “Sir, your presentation was far and away the best Tucker has aired to date”.

"That post has a couple of excerpts from the transcript, including Tucker’s kind opening:

Tucker: Welcome to Tucker Carlson Today. One of the saddest developments in the past 20 years is watching the total destruction of American journalism. Journalism is protected explicitly by the First Amendment for a reason. It’s what keeps our system at least theoretically free, open and fair. And it’s pretty much dead. It’s now an instrument of one of the two political parties. But the good news is that real journalism has emerged in its place to fill that vacuum, and it’s being practiced by people who aren’t strictly speaking journalists.". . .

 And one of the best journalists of our time is about as far from a trained journalist as you can get. He’s a law professor at an Ivy League school. His name is Bill Jacobson. He runs Legal Insurrection, and he has been one of the people covering the woke destruction of education for the rest of us.

Biden Is Even Worse than Obama

 Biden Is Even Worse than Obama › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

Unimaginably, Joe Biden is a worse president than Barack Obama, a complete phony and a disaster in every way possible, as is the deep state that controls much of his agenda.
 

Like every writer at American Greatness, and probably most of our readers too, I was not a fan of Barack Obama. It was obvious when his presidency ended that he was profoundly destructive, one of the worst presidents in living memory. 

"Sadly, he was not the most ineffective, as he intended a lot of the destructive results that he brought forth. 

Obama Was a Very Bad President

"Obama’s most obvious failure was of the missed opportunity variety. Optimism surrounded his election, and even many opponents were hopeful that his victory would demonstrate to both white and black Americans that extreme racial tensions were a thing of the past and no longer a consuming national problem. 

"Thus, Obama’s greatest demerit was his manifest failure to foster greater social peace on race relations. Rather than using his status as the first black president to encourage a moral renewal in the black community, he instead flattered its worst members—racial rabble rousers like Al Sharpton and Ben Crump—as well as the black criminal underclass more generally. 

"Weighing in on the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown shootings, he showed complete indifference to legitimate fears about crime in black neighborhoods and instead encouraged distrust of and hostility to police and to white people. He never hesitated to criticize white Americans in general, nor our country’s glorious and heroic history. In the end, he was a racial arsonist, and race relations were noticeably worse at the end of his term than they were at the beginning of it.

"In other areas, he advanced social leftism, including a dim view of American history and the promotion of boutique identities like “transgenderism.” He began ridiculously to promote transgenderism within the military and in public schools during his second term.
 
"Obama’s signature “achievement,” the Affordable Care Act, turned out to be a major failure, even on its own terms. This law dragooned those actually paying for their health insurance into subsidizing poor, urban, and young people. It ended up making healthcare more expensive, with the only beneficiaries being reliable Democratic Party constituencies. 

"Now more than 10 years into Obamacare, health costs have doubled, with middle-class people outside of the subsidy zone paying obscenely high premiums coupled with obscenely high out-of-pocket limits if they should get sick. ". . .

. . ."Obama then offered praise for Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, saying that he expected them to meet the coming challenges.

“You know, we’ve got the potential of returning to a presidency that is actually paying attention and trying to do right by all people and not just some,” he said.". . .

A shocking judicial rebuke to Bragg's anti-Trump persecution machine

 A shocking judicial rebuke to Bragg's anti-Trump persecution machine - American Thinker  "Right from the opening paragraph of her order and decision upholding the subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee to depose Mark F. Pomerantz, Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil let the hardcore left have it — hurling that battle cry "no one is above the law" back at them.

The request by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg Jr. for a temporary restraining order, enjoining enforcement of the subpoena issued to Mark F. Pomerantz by the Committee on the Judiciary of the United States House of Representatives, chaired by Congressman Jim Jordan, is DENIED. The subpoena was issued with a "valid legislative purpose" in connection with the "broad" and "indispensable" congressional power to "conduct investigations." It is not the role of the federal judiciary to dictate what legislation Congress may consider or how it should conduct its deliberations in that connection. Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition. No one is above the law.

"And that was just for openers.

"After referring to the anti-Trump book Pomerantz wrote on leaving his volunteer position in the office of the Manhattan district attorney, Judge Vyskocil sharply criticized the Bragg complaint against the House Judiciary Committee as, mostly, "a public relations tirade against former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump" that constituted "a motion to quash a subpoena dressed up as a lawsuit.". . .
