People Like Jamaal Bowman [Joy Reid, Al Sharpton, Letitia James, Maxine Waters, Kim Foxx, et al.] Are Why America Can't Fix Race Relations

Jeff Charles  "Whenever I see or hear the words “Dear White People,” I have an involuntary cringe reaction. Why? Because I know that what is to follow these three words will likely be some of the most skull-hammeringly obtuse race-hustling heap of bovine excrement most of us have seen.

"Such is the case with disgraced former Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) who did this very thing on social media after a New York jury acquitted Daniel Penny of murdering Jordan Neely during an altercation on a subway train." . . .


Ousted Squad Member Jamaal Bowman Pens 'Dear White People' Letter  

Bowman ended his letter by asking his audience how many times they have seen a "white man killed in cold blood on camera." He completely disregarded the fact that UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was just shot and killed on a New York City sidewalk, which has been a nationwide phenomenon. 

"In a recurring theme from Democrats on the heels of Daniel Penny’s acquittal, ousted Squad member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is unfairly targeting white Americans in their rhetoric on issues of race and social justice.

"In a scathing “Dear White People” letter, Bowman demanded that they address their “hypocrisy and evil,” arguing that Penny's unchecked white supremacy unjustly detained Jordan Neely— the mentally deranged man who was threatening to kill people on one of New York City’s subway car.   

. . ."It is important to note that Bowman’s X post received a Community Note because two of those four officers in the Rodney King incident were convicted. 

This is the same guy who pulled the fire alarm before a last-minute vote to fund the government in September. 

Bowman argued that Neely was “sick” and subdued” but not a “threat” despite people who were on the subway that day testifying, saying they were terrified that Neely would get violent. 

He then asked his targeted audience in his letter if they ever feel “discomfort” from their “whiteness,” claiming that when black people are killed, they don't receive justice they way white people do." 

Biden Picked His Cabinet Based on DEI. How Did That Work Out for Him?

 The American Spectator 

"In rejecting Kamala Harris — yet another Biden pick who was chosen for her race — voters have rejected this whole racial project."  Ellie Gardey Holmes

 "Four years ago, when then–President-elect Joe Biden was selecting members of his Cabinet, one concern dominated: diversity.

"The pressure to choose candidates for top offices who were either women or from minority races was immense. Politico reported in November 2020 that Democrats “expect[ed] him to nominate the most diverse Cabinet in history.” Luckily for DEI-obsessed Democrats, Biden was happy to comply. After all, the president had promised to create a government that “looks like America.” In the end, the president’s administration was judged by numerous media outlets to be “the most diverse ever.” CNN totaled in January 2021 that 50 percent of Biden’s nominees for Cabinet positions and Cabinet-level positions were “people of color.” Biden had also named the most-ever women as Cabinet secretaries.\

"In rolling out his picks, Biden repeatedly framed the selections through the lens of diversity. For instance, when Biden announced his senior communications staff, he led with the fact that they were all female. “I am proud to announce today,” he said, “the first senior White House communications team comprised entirely of women.”

DEI Rejection

"Ultimately, the selection of the most racially diverse Cabinet ever did not lead to a desirable outcome for Biden. A major shift to the right among minority groups, a growing recognition that DEI is toxic and unfair, and electoral defeat soon followed.

"President-elect Donald Trump has strongly rejected Biden’s strategy of picking Cabinet appointees based on race, even though his proposed Cabinet is diverse in gender and race. As Alex Stroman, a former South Carolina GOP state party executive director, explained last week: “I think that’s where the country is at: we want a Cabinet that is diverse based on many different experiences and backgrounds, be it sexual or racial, economic, or cultural…. But the American people don’t want diversity for the sake of diversity.” Indeed, Americans are done with officials being chosen for what they represent over what they can provide to the country.

"With that in mind, it’s worth looking back on just how utterly race dominated Biden’s Cabinet selection process, and how this reaped a whole-of-government obsession with race. Repeatedly, Cabinet members who were selected for diversity, equity, and inclusion reasons went on to obsess over DEI in their own leadership — to the extent that the administration became a giant conglomerate of DEI." . . .

The Biden–Harris administration stopped working for the American people.

Parody As a Weapon Part CXXIII; What was that about “your word as a Biden”?

 American Free News Network


"In our last installment of Parody As a Weapon Part CXXII before the November election, we noted the similarities between the denialism of certain segments of the establishment (the mayor of Aurora, Colorado and Martha Raddatz) regarding the presence of illegal alien organized crime in our communities as a result of Biden-Harris border policy failures (or success, depending on what their goals really were), and compared it to government-inspired organized crime from the previous century. In this segment, we will continue to look at organized crime and its practice by the family currently occupying the White House.

"On Sunday, December 1, shortly before jetting off to Africa (perhaps to consider setting up a government in exile in a country with lax extradition), Joe Biden announced that he was issuing a blanket pardon for his son Robert AKA “Hunter” Biden for any federal crimes committed from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024 (the date of the pardon), including the firearm offenses he was convicted of committing and the tax offenses to which he had pleaded guilty.
"Though Biden had previously promised directly and through his staff that he was not going to take any such action to pardon or commute his son’s sentence, most of us who have observed Biden closely for more than 50 years were not surprised, as the current soon-to-be-evicted occupant of the White House long ago established that he was a liar of the first order.

"White House Communications Director Karine Jean-Pierre tried vainly to spin how Biden’s false statements were true at the time, even if the current statement was not true with respect to the politicized nature of the Biden Justice Department. Like most of the other utterances from the current spokesliar, this too failed to persuade, or even pass the smell test.

"Another who has served as a spokesman and cheerleader for Joe Biden is entertainer Bruce Springsteen. As a shill for democrat politicians, Springsteen has parlayed his once-formidable talent as a musician and songwriter into fundraising for left wing hacks running for office. He narrated videos for Biden in 2020 (shortly before being arrested for driving his motorcycle under the influence of alcohol on federal land during the Trump administration) and played at Harris rallies in 2024." . . .

"It is not a surprise that a man known as “The Boss” would support Joe Biden, given the sentiment expressed in so many of his songs that America is not that great of a country (though that sentiment would tend to make him and Andrew Cuomo supporter). While many thought “Born in the USA”, the name of his 1984 album with an eponymous single was a jingoistic pro-American tune based on the chorus, an actual review of the lyrics reveals it to be a grievance festival. As such, it seems appropriate to use a cut from the album of a once-talented hypocrite to highlight the hypocrisy of the talent-limited occupant of the White House, and his addicted son." . . .

Thinking about the drones

Drones gotta land    

"For drones to perform the odd maneuvers for seven hours at a time, it would need three things.  First, a fuel far more efficient in terms of energy per unit, because it couldn’t carry a lot of fuel.  Drones aren’t built for that.  But they would need something else.  First, because they emit no detectable radio signals, they’d need an AI more advanced than any we know of to control their drones. That’s two breakthrough technologies. Finally, they’d need someplace to land before daylight, to be serviced and refueled, and prepped for its next flight."  

 Ned Barnett, a long-time American Thinker contributor dating to 2006, is a military technology historian, and hosted nine History Channel programs, such as World War I Tech or D-Day Tech, back when history meant something to the History Channel, before Pawn stars change its whole nature.


Droning on … and on … and on …   
. . ."Which leads me to China. The Chinese flew a giant freaking balloon across the entire continent and we didn't do anything about it, despite its glacial pace. They must surely believe that they could get away with flying a few dozen drones over New Jersey and New York — and their attendant military bases, dams, and other infrastructure. As well as Trump’s properties." . . .

What We Know About the Mysterious New Jersey Drone Sightings  . . ."Despite the denial, some experts theorize that the military could be involved. Clint Emerson, a former Navy SEAL and security-firm owner, told the New York Post that the drones could potentially be a military project that’s kept so secret only a scant few are aware it exists. “That’s why the government’s like, ‘We don’t know.’ They’re being truthful,” he told the outlet.

"Congressman Van Drew, a Republican, floated a theory on Wednesday on Fox News, citing unnamed “very high sources” that the drones hail from a foreign adversary. “Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership, I’m going to tell you the deal, it’s off the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones,” he said.

"On Wednesday, the Pentagon rebutted that theory, saying that there’s “no truth” to Van Drew’s claims but also confirmed that the drones are not from the U.S. military. “At this time, we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary,” said deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh. “We’re gonna continue to monitor what is happening, but at no point were our installations threatened when this activity was occurring.' ” . . .

KILL OBAMACARE, NOT CEOs

 Ann Coulter

"Obamacare is a welfare program for people with freakish sexual predilections, except that instead of being funded with tax revenue, it’s funded with our insurance premiums. The middle class pays through the nose for health insurance in order to enable insurance companies to comply with a preposterous array of government mandates and regulations."

"Inasmuch as the most popular reaction to the cold-blooded murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been to hail the shooter as a hero, I gather that Americans really hate health insurance companies.
"Apparently, Obamacare isn’t all it was cracked up to be.
"Valedictorian McDonald’s boy’s rage is justified but wildly misses the target because literally everything wrong with health care was given to us by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Without a single Republican vote, they jammed through Obamacare in an unconstitutional procedure — it was a tax bill that didn’t originate in the House because it wouldn’t have had the votes — wrecking the already government-corrupted health insurance business.
"We were promised that under Obamacare:

1. Everyone would have affordable, quality health care.

2. Not a dime would be added to the deficit.

3. Premiums would go down.

4. You could keep your health insurance if you liked it.

5. You could keep your doctor if you liked him.

And it all came true! Except those last five things.

"Premiums went through the roof because Democrats mandated, among other things, that insurance companies cover an array of exotic medical treatments popular with their base — e.g., men who think they’re women, people who can’t figure out how to use a condom, drug addicts, day drinkers, people who bring their emotional support Shetland ponies on airplanes, and so on." . . .

"No matter how sure you are that you’re never going to need your penis cut off in order to “change” genders, Democrats decided you should not be allowed to buy a health insurance plan that fails to cover penis chopping, along with dozens of associated avant-garde procedures."

The Worst Presidents in American History

Steve McCann  

"Within a matter of just sixteen years this nation was governed by the most anti-American president and the most corrupt presidents in its history. Coupled with an Obama controlled and Marxist-influenced Democrat Party and their ability to manipulate elections, America was facing an inevitable descent into a one-party socialist oligarchy. Thus, the importance of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in rescuing this nation in 2024 cannot be overstated." 


"There have been 45 men who have been president of the United States. Over the decades there has been voluminous speculation over who were the worst. That distinction now belongs to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Obama was the most anti-American and radical president in American history and Joe Biden was the most venal and corrupt president in American history.

"This attached-at-the-hip duo has done more damage to the United States and its founding principles than any presidents in American history.

"Obama, a stealth but avowed Marxist, governed as a president unabashedly determined to shred the Constitution and transform the nation and its institutions. After the shock of Trump winning in 2016, Obama and his fellow-travelers, utilizing massive voting fraud and manipulation, made certain that Joe Biden was “elected” in 2020 to further their agenda. Biden was chosen because he could be easily manipulated or essentially blackmailed by the Obama-led cabal due to his well-known and long history of corruption and venality.

"On October 30, 2008, Obama openly stated that he would “fundamentally transform the United States” while his wife, Michelle, boasted “we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to move in a different place as a nation.” Following the installation of the most radical administration in the history of the country, the final stages of the grand strategy to fundamentally transform the nation into a permanent one-party socialist oligarchy began.

"Obama unabashedly denigrated the nation’s founding and history, oversaw the Marxist domination of the Democrat Party, set in motion unrestrained voting and attendant fraud that were the hallmarks of the 2020 election, dramatically accelerated welfare-state expansion, massively financed extreme Left-wing organizations, mainstreamed sexual deviancy in order to fracture the culture, and packed the judiciary and bureaucracy with likeminded Marxist sympathizers."

Biden Takes Credit for Syria Regime Change He Tried to Prevent . . ."Biden provided Iran with sanctions relief and bailed out Hezbollah just as it was on the verge of defeat. He's trying to take credit for other people's victories while pretending that this was a desired outcome, rather than Turkey taking the initiative and exploiting a weakened Hezbollah.

"Biden gets no credit here for anything except trying to save Hezbollah. And therefore, by extension, Assad."

The race-baiting mob didn’t win this time

 "When the jury came back the second time, while the predictable mob was protesting outside the courthouse with screams of “Penny is a murderer,” and “Daniel Penny, the Subway Strangler,” they were not intimidated into arriving at a guilty verdict.  The usual suspects, including Black Thugs Matter and other malcontents, who add nothing positive to the city, state, or country, spewed the tired old racial rhetoric that is as anachronistic as rotary-dial phones."

The race-baiting mob didn’t win this time   "Daniel Penny was found not guilty in the so-called “chokehold trial” in NYC.  In my opinion, he never should have been arrested and tried in the first place.

"If you’ve ever ridden the subway in NYC, you know what it feels like to be vulnerable to other riders around you in that closed chamber on wheels.  If you are unfortunate enough to be on a subway car with someone who suddenly exhibits violent behavior, you’re likely to experience the “flight or fight” response.  However, what does one do when there is no way to retreat?  Or suppose you could escape the threat but are aware of the threat to others who might not be able to escape?  Should you run for cover and leave them unprotected?

"This is the dilemma that faced Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old Marine veteran, when he found himself in a subway car with Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man who had been arrested dozens of times for various crimes including assaults on women in the subway and larceny.  Mr. Neely was screaming and threatening violence toward passengers while proclaiming that he was “ready to die.”  Witnesses said they feared for their lives as Neely screamed, “I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison.  Someone is going to die today!”  Mr. Penny ignored Neely until he saw him approach a mother with her small son, hiding behind a stroller.  He heard Neely threaten: “I will kill.”

"That’s when Penny got involved.  He came up behind the man and grabbed him by the neck, and they both fell to the ground with Penny’s arm around Neely’s neck.  The police arrived several minutes later, and Neely was found to have a faint pulse as he was being transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced DOA.  Penny was questioned by NYPD detectives and released without charge." . . .

This first family cries out for parody

First, this real news item:  Biden Grants Record 39 Presidential Pardons and Commutes 1,500 Sentences   "On Thursday he issues presidential pardons to 39 Americans convicted of non-violent crimes while commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 other people in the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history." . . . No shame in Democrat corruption.

Biden Forced To Issue Another Pardon After Hunter Commits 17 More Crimes

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following his controversial announcement last night absolving his son of all criminal convictions and prosecution, news broke early this morning that President Joe Biden was forced to issue another pardon after Hunter went out and committed 17 more crimes overnight.

"While the President's decision to pardon his son a second time after repeatedly vowing not to do so was met with immediate criticism, President Biden remained defiant.

" 'I am hereby issuing a full pardon for my son, Hunter… again," the president told reporters. "Listen up, folks… everybody makes mistakes. Hunter is the finest and most intelligent man I've ever known. Spending the entire night after receiving a pardon celebrating with a dozen ladies of the night and a mound of cocaine the size of a snow bank doesn't change that. To my knowledge, Hunter making multiple phone calls to foreign entities to offer discounts on influence for the remainder of my term isn't… it's not… he didn't do anything… nothing he did was… it's all fine. Anyway…"

"Biden was then whisked off for a flight, where he was expected to issue a third pardon for his son to absolve him of any crimes committed while the president was traveling.

"At publishing time, Hunter Biden was last seen on his way to celebrate his latest pardon with an all-day spending spree at Crazy Jimmy's Wholesale European Escorts & Crack."

The Reading List of Luigi Mangione, Suspect in Brian Thompson’s Killing

The Intercept

An account linked to Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, left a trail of book reviews online.

People stop to look at the reward poster with surveillance photos of a man suspected in the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson who was killed outside the the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, New York, NY, December 4, 2024. A reward poster with surveillance photos of a man suspected in the shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson who was killed outside the the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan seen on Dec. 4, 2024. (Photo by Anthony Behar/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images)

"When the identity of the person who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was a mystery, Americans grafted their own ideas about the gunman onto the little information available. Now that a person of interest in the case has been arrested, that imagined character is bumping up against the identity and writings of a named suspect, who appears to have left an extensive trail of book reviews, including for an anti-technology manifesto written by the Unabomber and treatises on managing back pain.

"Along with a three-page, handwritten manifesto reportedly in the possession of Luigi Mangione upon his arrest, those online traces may offer insight into the motives of a man accused of a killing that touched a nerve for Americans exhausted with profit-hungry health care companies.

"Much of the online chatter has centered on the book written by Ted Kaczynski, the man known as the Unabomber, who conducted a nearly 20-year campaign of mail bombings designed to reverse society’s accelerating technological revolution." . . .

One has to suspect these are the same generation loudly cheering the Hamas slaughter of Israeli families that October 7th, leading to the current war, and those wearing masks while burning American cities over the death of a woman- abuser. TD

Eighty years ago: the Battle Of The Bulge; The Wereth Eleven

80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge

National Archives Museum

German Propaganda Footage about the Ardennes Offensive- 4 January 1945  "The Ardennes Offensive, in English also known as “Battle of the Bulge”, officially called “Operation Wacht am Rhein” was one of the last major German offensives of WWII.

"Driven by wrong political and diplomatic conclusions, Hitler believed that the Coalition of the Western Allies was close to collapsing in mid/late 1944, and all that was needed was one crucial victory. He therefore ordered the last German reserves to be mobilized for a large offensive in the Ardennes region, which was planned from September 1944 onwards. The goal was to inflict a major loss on the Allies and capture the important port of Antwerp. "Three German armies, the 6th and 5th Tank Armies and the 7th Army, totaling around 220,000 soldiers, 550 tanks and 700 assault guns, attacked on December 16th, 1944, in the Ardennes region in Belgium/Luxembourg. "The Allies, who didn’t thought Germany was still able of launching a major offensive, had only weak forces in that area, around four divisions and a few other units, most of them fresh units with little to no combat experiences, around 85,000 men. They further failed to recognize the German troop movements, largely because the Germans kept their plans on a tight security level, with most orders being given via courier, instead of radio, so that the Allies were unable to intercept these messages. The Germans had supply shortages, especially fuel, so they planned to capture Allied fuel depots during their offensive. "The Germans initially made some progress but failed to capture large Allied fuel depots and encountered stiff Allied resistance, especially at the famous Siege of Bastogne and the less famous, but even more important Battle of Elsenborn Ridge in the northern section of the offensive. "Ultimately, the Allies were able to bring in enough reserves and the initial surprise quickly wore off, so the Germans had to stop their offensive in late December 1944. The Allies recaptured all their lost territory until February 1945. "Both the German (17,200 killed,16,000 prisoners 530 tanks and 800 aircraft ) and Allies (19,200 killed, 21,200 prisoners, 800 tanks and 1,000 aircrafts) suffered heavy losses during the offensive, but the Allies were able to replace these losses in a short time, the Germans weren’t. " "Thus, the Battle of the Bulge wasted the last substantial reserves the Germans had and ultimately sped up Germanys already unavoidable downfall. "This is footage from German propaganda newsreels, showing the initially successes of the Ardennes offensive. "It was shown in the German Newsweek, a German propaganda newsreel, on January 4th, 1945."


"When German prisoners of war arrived at Camp Gruber, Tech. Sgt. William Edward Pritchett was compelled to deliver a concern to his captain. The men of the 333rd noticed the POWs were fed better than the 333rd and that white GIs showed more courtesy and respect for the Germans than to their fellow black comrades. McLeod forwarded those remarks to Kelsey, but they were shooed aside. 

In that regard we have become so much better now that we were then. These are the people to whom reparations are owed, not the Joy Reid's, Al Sharpton's and Letitia James's who grate on America's ears today. TD

Hollywood Is Killing Itself: Good

 Derek Hunter

  "I don’t know who the specific people greenlighting movies the public collectively yawns at, but I know the type – you can’t avoid them in politics. They are the uber-leftists who are ready to be offended; bandwagon jumpers who likely haven’t given politics a serious thought in their entire lives, but promote causes because doing so will lead to social status." . . .

"I love movies – there’s nothing like them for escapism and entertainment – but Hollywood is something else entirely. It is an orgy or narcissism and rape; casting couch feminists and private jet environmentalists. The extremely wealthy who set up “charities” named after themselves to filter income through to avoid paying the taxes they advocate should be raised on everyone else. They are largely hypocrites and just plain bad people.

"They are also destroying themselves, which is something worth noting and celebrating.

"Box office numbers and high-profile flops like the Joker sequel (did anyone need or want that?) are some prime examples of just how far down the toilet Hollywood has slipped. People are not interested in what they are selling.

"Then there are the awards. No industry celebrates itself more than Hollywood does. They create award shows, awards in award shows, and new categories to constantly be able to market something as “nominated for this many of that award” before the winner ultimately brags of being a “winner” of those awards.

"Only, those awards don’t mean anything if the movies don’t, and the movies don’t. 

"The reason movies don’t matter anymore is the industry doesn’t know how to make movies people like anymore. When was the last time there was a movie you had to see in theaters that did not involve you having to take a kid to see it? I saw Deadpool and Wolverine in theaters because I wanted to, but that’s about it for non-kid movies for about 3-4 years, if not more." . . .

By "Hollywood", I include "The View", Late-night hosts like Kimmel, Colbert, et.al, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alyssa Milano, Fonda, Clooney, and so very many more.  But there are conservatives in Hollywood: Conservative Celebrities, some, sadly are no longer with us. TD

So, So, Many Silly Women

 Alicia Colon 

"I am deeply grateful that there are far more wise women than the harpies and low-info hysterics that appear on the View and MSNBC." . . .

"It was a pleasant  surprise to find that there are more, smart, educated women than the supposed number of fools that the mainstream media predicted would turn out to vote for Kamala Harris.

"Those poor souls are now shaving their heads and denying men sex to punish them for voting for the allegedly misogynous Donald  J. Trump. Another group of pathetic females are having themselves sterilized to punish the nonexistent men they believe plan to impregnate them. The TikTok videos of these narcissistic lemmings screaming in anguish after the election and the GOP’s triumph, would be amusing except for the fact that these are people suffering real pain unnecessarily.  All of these women really believe the big lie that women’s rights are in danger. They never were.

"We are living in the 21st Century not Regency England when women did not enjoy the freedoms allowed today. It was so easy for the progressive Democrats to charge that the conservative right was  endangering women’s reproductive rights because this issue has been successfully exploited for years and women haven’t bothered to delve into its substance. What the left  really means is their sacred cash cow, abortion, is being threatened. This is an issue which began with lies that is still fattening the pockets of an amoral, duplicitous political cabal.

"When the Supreme Court destroyed the blatant unconstitutionality of Roe v. Wade, they merely turned the issue of abortion back to the states. Women determined to get rid of their unwanted offspring will find that every blue state will gladly perform that service. New York State just passed an amendment that will allow you to empty your womb up to delivery date if you choose because doggonit, it’s your reproductive right.

"I wish a good reporter would dare to ask one of these hysterical anti-Trump protesters exactly what they mean about their reproductive rights being taken away by the dastardly Republicans." . . .
