Mitch McConnell Says ‘No Question’ Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Qualified for the Supreme Court

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said there is “no question” that Ketanji Brown Jackson has the qualifications to be a Supreme Court justice.

The Republican senator from Kentucky met with Judge Jackson on Wednesday, and was also complimentary of President Joe Biden’s pick for the highest court in the land during a radio appearance on “The Guy Benson Show.”

“I think she’s intelligent, very likely progressive. The Senate Republican minority intends to treat the nominee respectfully,” McConnell said.

“I’m not at all interested, for example, in what someone may have written in her high school yearbook,” McConnell added. This appeared to be in reference to the contentious 2018 Senate hearing for now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was selected by former President Donald Trump.

President Biden has nominated Jackson to fill the Supreme Court vacancy that will be left open after the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer. Biden had promised to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court upon taking office. Jackson currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and would make history as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court if she is confirmed. What’s more, Jackson once clerked for Breyer. (Read more from “Mitch McConnell Says ‘No Question’ Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Qualified for the Supreme Court” HERE)

The Constitution Is ‘Kind of Trash,’ Reporter Says (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Constitution, which was written by “slavers and colonists,” is “kind of trash,” according to one reporter.

Elie Mystal, author and justice correspondent for the Nation, criticized the Constitution when asked whether the purpose of his new book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution, was to trash the governing document.

“It’s certainly not sacred. Let’s start there,” Mystal told Ana Navarro during a segment on The View. “The Constitution is kind of trash.”

“It was written by slavers and colonists and white people who were willing to make deals with slavers and colonists,” Mystal said. “They didn’t ask anybody who looked like me what they thought about the Constitution.”

After joking about what a conversation like that would’ve looked like, Mystal went on to say that the document “was written without the consent of black and brown people in this country and without the consent of women in this country.” (Read more from “The Constitution Is ‘Kind of Trash,’ Reporter Says” HERE)

School Lesson Plan Claims US Gov Is ‘Abducting’ Migrant Kids, Contains Cartoons Throwing Cops Into Trash Can

/0 Comments/in , /by

A teacher in the Howard County Public School District spoke out about an assignment and a lesson plan students brought to his attention that contained Black Panther symbols, claims that the U.S. government is “abducting” migrant children and cartoons of cops being thrown in a trash can, according to a report from Families Unite Howard County.

At a Feb. 10 school board meeting, Wilde Lake High School health teacher Jonathan Shaw expressed his concerns to the Howard County Board Of Education regarding an assignment and a lesson plan that two of his students had separately confided in him about, according to the report.

In a public comment addressed to the school board, Shaw displayed the English assignment and Spanish class lesson plan for the room to see.

“A warning to parents, what you’re about to see, it’s heavy, and it’s really tough to see, but you need to see what’s going on right now in the public school system,” Shaw said at the beginning of his testimony.

The English class assignment showed a flow chart about “Cultural Appropriation” created by freshfeminism.tumblr.com. One part of the chart asks, “Do I have white privilege?” and determines that a student is culturally appropriating if they “do not fully understand if or understand what privilege abuse is.” (Read more from “School Lesson Plan Claims US Gov Is ‘Abducting’ Migrant Kids, Contains Cartoons Throwing Cops Into Trash Can” HERE)

YouTube Suspends Popular News Channel Simply for Playing Clip of Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

YouTube suspended popular news channel The Hill for playing a clip of former President Donald Trump claiming the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

YouTube suspended The Hill’s channel due to violating its policies after its morning show, “Rising,” posted two clips of Trump denying the validity of the results of the election, Rising’s Twitter account said Thursday. The Hill’s channel is unable to upload new videos for seven days, although its older videos can still be accessed.

“We covered former President Trump’s remarks about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” Rising’s Twitter account said. “In a soundbite, he repeated his claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Our discussion focused on what Trump said about Putin and did not explicitly rebut claims of election fraud.”

The content in question featured Trump speaking with Fox News host Laura Ingraham and attributing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the election results, as well as raw footage of Trump continuing to deny the validity of the election results during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

CDC: 92 Percent of U.S. Population Can Ditch Masks

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that nearly 93 percent of the U.S. population can go about their lives without masks.

The CDC rolled out revised guidelines for mask-wearing in indoor settings February 25, nixing mask recommendations for individuals in counties with “low” or “medium” coronavirus “community levels.” Breitbart News noted the change in guidance came just days before President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

“The agency said on Thursday that 85.4% of counties now rank as low or medium risk and 92.9% of the population lives in those counties,” Reuters reported.

When the CDC first released the revised guidelines, roughly 70 percent of U.S. counties, which are home to 72 percent of the population, registered “low” or “medium” coronavirus “community levels,” according to Reuters. (Read more from “CDC: 92 Percent of U.S. Population Can Ditch Masks” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack claimed in a court filing on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump and lawyer John Eastman were part of a “criminal conspiracy” to overturn the 2020 election.

CNN reported Thursday:

Former President Donald Trump and a right-wing lawyer were part of a “criminal conspiracy” to overturn the 2020 presidential election, the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot alleges in a court filing Wednesday.

The filing is part of an attempt to convince a judge to allow the panel access to emails from lawyer John Eastman, who is claiming attorney-client privilege. The committee said he helped to orchestrate the plot.

…

In the 61-page court filing on Wednesday, lawyers for the House wrote: “Evidence and information available to the Committee establishes a good-faith belief that Mr. Trump and others may have engaged in criminal and/or fraudulent acts, and that Plaintiff’s legal assistance was used in furtherance of those activities.”

Former Iranian President Praises Ukraine’s ‘Resistance,’ Rebukes Islamic Republic’s Support for Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has expressed his support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Ahmadinejad tweeted yesterday to the “great nation of #Ukraine” and its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“Your honorable and almost unrivalled resistance uncovered the Satanic plots of enemies of mankind,” wrote Ahmadinejad on the social media site.

“Trust that the great nation of #Iran is standing by you, while admiring this heroic persistence,” he added. . .

The comments by Ahmadinejad, who was president of Iran from 2005 to 2013, directly contradicted the Islamic Republic’s stance on the conflict, which supports Russia. Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian blamed the war on “provocations” by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance.

Inside the Extreme Ways Putin Protects Himself From Assassins, Coup Plots

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bodyguards with bulletproof briefcases and high-powered pistols, look-alike stand-ins and food tasters are just some of the ways Russian President Vladimir reportedly protects himself from would-be assassins and coup plotters.

The potential threats against Putin, 69, were thrust into the spotlight Thursday when US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on “somebody in Russia to take this guy out” for ordering the deadly invasion of Ukraine.

But Putin, a former KGB agent who’s been in power since rising to power in 2000, is apparently obsessed with both his security and his health – protecting himself from assassins and avoiding COVID-19 at all costs, as demonstrated by the lengths to which he’s gone to avoid catching the virus.

Recent photos show him meeting with world leaders and even his own advisers at opposite ends of extremely long tables to maintain at least 20 feet of distance between them, and he donned a hazmat suit — complete with a full face respirator — before visiting a Moscow hospital treating coronavirus patients in April 2020.

Putin’s bodyguards — who call themselves his “Musketeers” — comprise a special unit within Russia’s Federal Protective Service, or FSO, which traces its roots to 1881, when Czar Alexander III surrounded himself with guards following the assassination of his father by a bomb-throwing revolutionary, according to The Economist.

Two More Russian Commanders Reportedly Killed in Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two top Russian military officials have been killed in Ukraine in addition to the general already taken out by snipers, Western intelligence officials claimed Friday.

A divisional commander and regimental commander died as a convoy of Russian tanks and other vehicles continued to struggle while heading for the capital city of Kyiv, multiple reports said, citing the Western sources.

The announcement came a day after the revelation that a Ukrainian forces sniper killed Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky, deputy commander of the Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District and an appointee of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“My assessment would be that those commanders have been killed because they’ve had to go further and closer to the front,” an unnamed Western official told Sky News.

“That’s an indication of some degree of frustration and some degree of lack of progress, and they’re trying to impose their sort of personality on the battlefield and putting themselves at personal risk.” (Read more from “Two More Russian Commanders Reportedly Killed in Ukraine” HERE)

TV News Team Shot by Russians in Harrowing Ambush Caught on Camera (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Sky News journalist was wounded in a terrifying gunfire ambush while covering Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, he said in a report Friday.

Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team came under fire by Russian attackers near a Kyiv checkpoint as they tried to leave the city Monday.

“Our world turned upside down,” Ramsay wrote in a first-person account of the attack. “I do recall wondering if my death was going to be painful.”

He said he first heard a small explosion and felt a tire on the vehicle he was riding in pop, causing it to roll to a stop on a desolate street.

Suddenly, bullets began pelting the windshield of the vehicle, forcing the team of five to duck for cover.
