Hate Hoax: Racist Graffiti at High School That Ignited a Mass Walkout Was Done by a Black Student

/0 Comments/in , /by

Racist graffiti painted in a Missouri high school bathroom sparked a student walkout last week, but now the school district revealed that the perpetrator was a black student.

Racist graffiti was spray-painted in the boys’ bathroom at Parkway Central High School in suburban St. Louis on Sept. 22. The graffiti said, “HOPE ALL BLACK PEOPLE DIE,” and also used the N-word. . .

However, an investigation revealed that the racist graffiti was a hate hoax after a black student admitted to carrying out the incendiary act.

“The student responsible is not white,” Keith Marty, Superintendent of Parkway Schools, said Tuesday in a statement. “This does not diminish the hurt it caused or the negative impact it has had on our entire community.”

“The student is facing severe disciplinary consequences and referral to law enforcement for investigation,” the letter read. “Parkway will continue to hold students responsible for any behavior that threatens or degrades others in our school community.” (Read more from “Hate Hoax: Racist Graffiti at High School That Ignited a Mass Walkout Was Done by a Black Student” HERE)

WATCH: Marines Say Officer Who Pulled Baby Over Kabul Airport Wall Was Not Trump Rally Speaker

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Marine Corps confirmed that the soldier who pulled a baby over a fence in a viral video of the Afghanistan withdrawal is not Lance Cpl. Hunter Clark, who is under investigation for speaking at a Trump “Save America” rally where both he and the former president said he was the soldier in the video.

Press officer Capt. Kelton Cochran of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, who did not identify the soldier who appeared in the video, told military magazine Task and Purpose that while there were numerous incidents of parents handing their small children off to U.S. soldiers throughout the evacuation process, Clark, who is accused of violating military rules about speaking at partisan events, was not the officer shown on tape during the handoff that went viral .

“Regarding the viral photo that began circulating around August 20, 2021, the Marine identified in that particular image was not LCpl Clark,” Cochran told the Washington Examiner. . .

Former President Donald Trump introduced Clark at a Saturday rally in Perry, Georgia, as “one of the Marines who bravely served in Kabul during the withdrawal and helped evacuate children over the airport and over the airport walls,” after which Clark addressed the crowd directly.

Clark, who spoke for less than a minute at the rally in his hometown, said he was “the guy who pulled the baby over the wall,” which he called “definitely probably one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my entire life.” (Read more from “Marines Say Officer Who Pulled Baby Over Kabul Airport Wall Was Not Trump Rally Speaker” HERE)

Jobless Claims Rise for Third Straight Week

/0 Comments/in , /by

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased last week for the third straight week, which could raise concerns that the labor market was softening.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 362,000 for the week ended Sept. 25, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 335,000 applications for the latest week.

Claims have been rising, with economists blaming a range of factors including wild fires in California and Hurricane Ida, which struck the Gulf Coast in late August and caused record flooding in New York and New Jersey in early September.

The persistent increase also suggests a resurgence in COVID-19 infections, driven by the Delta variant of the coronavirus, could be impacting the labor market.

Claims, which have dropped from a record 6.149 million in early April 2020, remain well above their pre-pandemic levels. (Read more from “Jobless Claims Rise for Third Straight Week” HERE)

Harris’ Office Forced To Do Damage Control After VP Praises ‘Ethnic Genocide’ Remark

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala’s office has reportedly entered into damage-control mode with pro-Israel Democrats after she lavished praise on a college student who accused the Jewish state of committing “ethnic genocide.” . . .

A student who identified herself as “part-Yemeni, part-Iranian” claimed that “a lot of taxpayer money is allocated for funding the military, whether it’s in backing Saudi Arabia or in Palestine.”

“You brought up how the power of the people and demonstrations and organizing is very valuable in America,” the woman told Harris.

“But I see that over the summer, there have been, like, protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers standing with Palestine, but then just a few days ago there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people — the same that happened in America — and I’m sure you’re aware of this,” she added. . .

“Your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard,” Harris responded. (Read more from “Harris’ Office Forced To Do Damage Control After VP Praises ‘Ethnic Genocide’ Remark” HERE)

Joe Biden to Dems: Vote for Trillions in Spending, or the Capitol Rioters Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has sought to motivate Democrats on Capitol Hill to vote for his multi-trillion-dollar spending bills by warning them that if the bills fail, those who supported the Capitol riot on January 6 will celebrate a political victory. . .

Biden, who recently appointed an alleged domestic terrorist to his Cabinet with the conformation of Tracy Stone-Manning to lead the Bureau of Land Management on Thursday, referred to the January 6 riot in private meetings with Democrats.

The Associated Press reported:

In his private talks with legislators, Biden has suggested a Democratic defeat on the current bills would be a gift to Republicans, empowering a party that he has judged a threat to democracy itself. Defeat, he has warned, would embolden the same forces who tacitly blessed the origins of the Jan. 6th insurrection and are now balking at helping to lift the national debt ceiling to avoid a government default.
