Trump Rips Critical Race Theory to Shreds, Issues Warning About ‘Flagrant Racism’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump warned critical race theory is “flagrant racism” being forced into “every facet of our society” during a speech to conservatives Saturday night in Phoenix.

Trump spoke at Arizona Federal Theatre for the “Protect Our Elections Rally” hosted by Turning Point Action, TPUSA’s political action committee, where he slammed Democrats for adhering to an “America last” ideology.

“We shouldn’t be apologizing to the world,” he said. “We’re apologizing for America, just like Obama apologized. Remember, he apologized. They should be apologizing to America for what they’ve done to it. That’s who I think should be apologizing to.

“The Biden administration’s ‘America last’ philosophy … is also making a mockery of our country right here at home,” he continued. “Earlier this year, Biden signed an executive order pushing toxic, critical race theory into our children’s schools and into our military. How about our military? This poisonous left-wing doctrine is flagrant racism, plain and simple, and it has no place in our schools, no place in our military and no place in our country.”

Trump was referring to President Biden’s first day in office when he signed an executive order rescinding Trump’s order that restricted the federal government and its contractors from teaching critical race theory.

A Shocking Number of College Grads Wish They Had Been Taught More Life Skills

/0 Comments/in , /by

Remember when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was amazed by a garbage disposal and the idea that you can grow food in the ground? Many of us tittered and guffawed. As it turns out, she is not an anomaly. According to a poll from SWNS digital, 81% of college grads wish they had been taught more life skills before graduation. Instead, they learned the importance of pronouns and social justice activism. It seems that many students leave a college clueless about budgeting and what to do when you can’t afford DoorDash.

The learned helplessness churned out from our universities seems intentional. College grads who leave school without life skills are more willing to rely on the government. According to the poll:

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Experian Boost™, the survey found 81% of respondents agreed they wish they were taught more life skills before graduating college.

The top things pollsters feel left in the dark on included how to invest, long-term financial planning, and the best ways to manage their student loan debt. A further three in 10 regret not learning how to budget.

Nearly one in five (17%) college grads polled still don’t know how to cook or do their own laundry. Twenty-six percent are also feeling lost when it comes to basic apartment maintenance too – like unclogging a toilet or resetting a Wi-Fi router.

GOP Senate Candidate Blasts ‘Childless Left’ Who Have ‘No Physical Commitment to the Future of This Country’

/0 Comments/in , /by

J.D. Vance, a U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, called out the “childless left” whom he said have “no physical commitment to the future of this country” in a fiery speech given to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s conference on the Future of American Political Economy.

Senate candidate, former Marine, and author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” Vance specifically named Vice President Kamala Harris, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (three of whom are failed presidential candidates), citing them as the childless future leaders of the Democrat Party. “Why is this just a normal fact of … life, for the leaders of our country to be people who don’t have a personal and direct stake in it via their own offspring?”

“The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds,” Vance noted. “Let’s do this instead. Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of the children.” He continued, asking, “Doesn’t this mean that nonparents don’t have as much of a voice as parents? Doesn’t this mean that parents get a bigger say in how democracy functions?” He answered with a simple “yes” after saying “the Atlantic and the Washington Post and all the usual suspects” would criticize him.

“We should worry that in America, family formation, our birth rates, a ton of indicators of family health have collapsed,” the candidate said, highlighting the severity of America’s ongoing fertility crisis and calling it a “civilizational crisis.” (Read more from “GOP Senate Candidate Blasts ‘Childless Left’ Who Have ‘No Physical Commitment to the Future of This Country’” HERE)

Trump Says ‘Woke Politics’ Contributed to U.S. Women’s Soccer Upset at Olympics

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump says “woke politics” contributed to the US Women’s soccer team’s dismal opening performance in the Tokyo Olympics.

“The US Women’s Soccer team is a very good example of what’s going on,” Trump told a crowd during a campaign-style rally in Arkansas on Saturday night.

“Woke politics takes the life and joy out of everything. Woke-ism makes you lose, ruins your mind and ruins you as a person. You become warped. You become demented​,” he said during the speech to the Turning Point Action​ political action committee in Phoenix.​​

“Earlier this week, [the women’s team] unexpectedly lost to Sweden, three to nothing, and Americans were happy about it​,” Trump told the crowd, who responded by cheering.

“You proved that point before I even said it​,” Trump added to the audience, shaking his head. (Read more from “Trump Says ‘Woke Politics’ Contributed to U.S. Women’s Soccer Upset at Olympics” HERE)

Fauci Issues Another Ominous COVID-19 Warning For The U.S. As Cases Rise

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday warned that the US is heading in the “wrong direction” as COVID-19 cases driven by unvaccinated people continue to surge across the nation.

“I’m not so sure it would be the worst-case scenario, but it’s not going to be good. We’re going in the wrong direction,” Fauci said on CNN’s “State of Union” when asked about a model predicting that the country could reach 4,000 virus-related deaths a day if vaccination rates don’t improve.

Fauci said the country has the “tools to blunt” the curve predicted in the model, particularly with vaccines, which have proven to be effective against severe disease.

“We have 50 percent of the country not fully vaccinated. That’s a problem, particularly when you have a variant, like Delta, which has this extraordinary characteristic of being able to spread very efficiently and very easily from person to person,” he said.

“… If we don’t vaccinate people, the model is going to predict that we’re going to be in trouble as we continue to get more and more cases,” he continued. (Read more from “Fauci Issues Another Ominous COVID-19 Warning For The U.S. As Cases Rise” HERE)

Here’s How Much Unvaccinated NFL Players Will Be Fined

/0 Comments/in , /by

The NFL will be handing out $14,650 fines to unvaccinated players who violate the league’s COVID-19 protocol.

This comes after the NFL on Thursday told teams that they would have to forfeit games if outbreaks among unvaccinated players results in them being unable to play.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a memo that in such situations, players from both teams would lose money, according to ESPN. He also said that he “retains the authority to impose additional sanctions, particularly if the Covid outbreak is reasonably determined to be the result of a failure by club personnel to follow applicable protocols.”

The league’s measures for unvaccinated athletes would include requiring masks and imposing restrictions on the number of people and types of settings they can gather in for social events. (Read more from “Here’s How Much Unvaccinated NFL Players Will Be Fined” HERE)

Jobless Claims Spike To Two-Month High

/0 Comments/in , /by

First-time unemployment claims shattered expectations last week, rising to a two-month high just weeks after President Joe Biden said the U.S. economy was “on the move again.”

The Department of Labor found that 419,000 Americans filed for initial jobless benefits in the week that ended July 17—20 percent higher than the 350,000 estimate forecasted by economists.

The two-month high in new jobless claims comes just weeks after Biden seized on a June report that showed a pandemic low in the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits. . .

While many House Democrats have tied an ongoing labor shortage to Biden’s enhanced unemployment benefits, the White House’s top economist recently blamed businesses for the hiring shortfall. (Read more from “Jobless Claims Spike To Two-Month High” HERE)

Pelosi Adds Adam Kinzinger to Jan. 6 Commission, Doubles Down on Ousting Trump Allies

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger to her Jan. 6 commission.

Pelosi told ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos that she planned to make the addition during a Sunday morning appearance on “This Week,” and within hours reports began circulating that he had been added. Pelosi also defended her decision to reject Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana from the group.

Stephanopoulos began by asking Pelosi about her decision to remove Jordan and Banks from the bipartisan commission, noting that Republicans had been very critical of the move.

“I believe the work of this committee, in order to retain the confidence of the American people, must act in a way that has no partisanship, is all about patriotism and I’m very proud of the members of the committee and I’m certain they will accomplish that goal,” Pelosi replied. “We have to, again, ignore the antics of those who do not want to find the truth. We will find the truth. That truth will have the confidence of the American people because it will be done patriotically and not in a partisan way.”

The Whitmer Kidnapping Case Reveals the FBI’s New Counterterrorism Target Is You; FBI Attempts To Do Damage Control After Initiating Plot

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. This week included interesting revelations about the FBI’s case against the handful of people charged with plotting to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Of 14 people indicted, five (or more) were working as informants for the FBI. . .

Terrorism, as it turns out, is hard. Recruiting isn’t easy, and finding the right people is difficult. A person who is willing to train, travel, keep secrets, and face a very high chance of dying is not statically all that common. . .

So the FBI does the heavy lifting in these cases. The suspects start out by talking about jihad or revolution or overthrowing the government, and someone in their chat group decides he should tell the FBI.

The people the FBI sends in to look at the chats or communicate with the suspects aren’t just a fly on the wall. They offer to help. They offer bombs. They offer direction. They suggest targets. . .

Why is the assistant director of the FBI’s Washington Field Office—Anthony D’Antuono, who is heading the investigation into the January 6 riot at the capitol and was previously in charge of the Detroit Field Office—doing these things? He’s never known another way. He had been an FBI agent only three years on 9/11, and all that time he was a forensic accountant. This is how the FBI has run these kinds of investigations his entire career. (Read more from “The Whitmer Kidnapping Case Reveals the FBI’s New Counterterrorism Target Is You” HERE)

FBI Attempts To Do Damage Control After Initiating Whitmer Kidnapping Plot

By Townhall. The FBI is attempting to do damage control after it was revealed the law enforcement bureau initiated and carried out a significant portion of the kidnapping plot against Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer last year.

“Partnerships are key to disrupting violent plots. With the terror threat growing more insular, awareness and reporting are crucial,” the FBI posted on a their website this week. “This is especially true for domestic terrorism—defined as violent, criminal acts committed by individuals or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature. Because the FBI’s mission includes protecting the free speech rights of Americans, we need a clear reason to act or investigate. A person’s beliefs can never be the sole reason to open an investigation.”
