In April 2007, radio “shock jock” Don Imus called the Rutgers women’s basketball team “a bunch of nappy-headed hos.” It was ignorant and unnecessary, and, despite his many apologies and his commendable record of charity work on behalf of autistic children, Imus was fired. The mob came, and Imus was summarily canceled. But did the mob solve anything? The incident sparked a broader conversation about race, black culture, and, especially, rap and hip-hop lyrics.

The democrat party has been feverishly and actively aborting black babies for over fifty years. So this problem could actually be worse? I dunno. The big elephant in the room that no one dares notice, nor mention is how one obtains and maintains their Aid To Dependent Children and Families….lifeblood to survive without working. A problem can never be solved until it’s first identified.

FTA: 'With all the progress America has made over the past five decades, there is absolutely no reason for this level of black failure and dysfunction in the year 2023. None whatsoever. ' Ah, but there IS. A perpetually aggrieved, angry and often violent underclass is highly useful to the Global Communist-One World villains. Their uppermost goal is the destruction and elimination of the USA, its heritage,its culture, its success and its future. Division, anger and resentment are a useful wedge to dismember the American Body Politic; beat it to the ground, and kick the supine corpse to death. Lovely people, aren't they?

"Nappy-headed hos," Imus said. This story makes me wonder what he would call that White House press secretary.

Current black culture has many similarities to the life of zoo animals. You can't feed and house any animal and then turn it loose in the wild after a lifetime of being cared for and coddled because it can not survive among those born in the wild. We have created the problem and we can create the solution, which is to stop the total support system. Unfortunately, democrat politics is based around the zoo environment.

It's way past time to stop caring. That "culture" is beyond redemption or correction. Just be prepared to defend yourselves, your families and your property against it. With lethal force if necessary.

So what is it about black Americans that so many cannot live normal, civilized lives? Can't be remnants of slavery as descendants of black slaves in countries like Brazil don't have the same pathologies as black Americans. Maybe it's the double-standard here in the USA where you cannot criticize or even laugh at a black American speaking with marbles if his/her mouth or pronouncing ASK as AX.

"Imus, who performed at the Radio and TV event in 1996, dealt with then-President Clinton’s scandals head on, joking about his reported infidelities and the first lady’s legal troubles. “It didn’t go over with the President, who was to the right of me about three feet, glaring at me,” Imus recalled last week. “And to the left was the first lady, and she was glaring at me as well. "The Clintons “were livid,” he said, understating things more than a little. “They didn’t like being made fun of, but I didn’t give a s---,” he says. “I did not then, and do not now, give a f--- what they think.” "When I turned to the president and said, `Remember the Astroturf in the back of the pickup?' he had the option of laughing or not laughing. He chose not to laugh and glared at me. He glared at me," Imus told listeners. ". . . Now, the speech is about 25 minutes, that's the bottom of Page 2, I know that I've got 23 minutes to go. . . . I thought, `OK fatboy, you wanna play hardball? Fine. Here we go, fasten your seat belt.' "

It’s not about race, it is about extolling the worst aspects of subcultures that combine to form the population. The slow cultural revolution seeks to glorify the very evils , the vices, the deviations from the natural order, that take us step by step away from God.

During a recent conversation with media personality Megyn Kelly, comedienne Roseanne Barr gave a strong pro-life message, speaking candidly about her decision to place a child for adoption and what she calls the "barbarity" of abortion. In an episode of SiriusXM's "The Megyn Kelly Show" released on Wednesday, Kelly quickly delved into Barr's unusual childhood. Barr, now 70, grew up in the 1960s in one of the few Jewish families in Salt Lake City, Utah. From an early age, Barr dreamed of becoming a famous stand-up comic, but at 18, those dreams were temporarily derailed when she discovered that she was pregnant. Barr ultimately decided to place the baby

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced articles of impeachment against Attorney General Merrick Garland one day after she announced efforts to impeach two other officials. In the articles of impeachment, Greene alleges that Garland is "facilitating the weaponization and politicization of the United States justice system against the American people." Attorney General Garland has failed to uphold his oath and has instead overseen a denigration of the principles of our democratic republic by politicizing the Department of Justice, and utilizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a Federal police force to punish or intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime," the articles of impeachment said.

There are powerful parallels in the 1961 movie “The Hustler,” the 1913 US Open, and the current debt ceiling negotiation. Let me explain. In each case, there is a real question of which competitor is going to succumb to the pressure and break. In “The Hustler,” Paul Newman plays Eddie Felton, a young pool shark who takes on the greatest pool player of his time, Minnesota Fats (played brilliantly by Jackie Gleason). A great deal of money is involved, with the champion being backed by several big money guys.

The Dodgers and LA Pride announced earlier this month that the team would be marking "Pride Night" on June 16, 2023, and that the celebrations would include the presentation of the Community Hero Award to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a self-described "leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns.

The Internal Revenue Service not only is involved in voter registration, it should get more involved, a coalition of over 50 liberal groups argues. Meanwhile, the Obamacare exchange will attempt to drive up voter registration, while agencies within the Justice Department have acted to ensure that prisoners in federal custody may cast a ballot if eligible. President Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019, which requires federal agencies to get involved in boosting voter participation, is a little over 2 years old.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said he is pulling the plug on the state’s sole PBS television station because of “indoctrination and over-sexualization” of children through content that promotes drag queens and the LGBTQ agenda. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the Republican leader said taxpayers should not have to fund OETA-TV, given its far-Left bias. He recently moved to block funding for the station through 2026. Unless the state legislature overrides his veto, the network will cease operations this year

Just last week the Proud Boys trial around the events of January 6, 2021 concluded. Four leaders of the Proud Boys were convicted of "seditious conspiracy" in a heavily biased DC court for their activities related to the mostly peaceful demonstrations of that date. Julie Kelly, and others have written in detail about the case and some of the implications, but there are a few aspects I would like to elaborate on here. To my mind, there are some dangerous precedents that have been set for subsequent attacks on Donald Trump and on the GOP presidential campaign. The first of these is having a court identify the J6 events as "sedition",

As the geography narrows before us, it is important to remember the stakes and avoid the distractions. As a consequence, the baseline must be reaffirmed. It is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government. It is a difficult shift in thinking, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two distinct private corporations, two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control.

Immigration, trade, war, and crime. Being right on these four issues propelled Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016 against all odds. The intervening seven years have changed nothing. The only way a candidate from the Right can possibly win the presidency in 2024 is by campaigning on limiting immigration (build the wall), increasing tariffs, getting out of Ukraine, and restoring law and order (especially in regards to elections and the opioid crisis). These are the core issues for the center-Right coalition needed to win national elections. No supposedly conservative politician with aspiration for higher office should ever make any public statement without hammering at least one of these points.

Does ADHD in fact exist? This week the BBC’s Panorama programme quite rightly exposed some very worrying private clinics. (Snip) One of the problems with the diagnosis of ‘ADHD’ is that it covers such an extraordinarily broad range of behaviours, including children who may actually suffer from birth trauma or brain damage, and children who are merely wilful and obstinate, or are driven to distraction by dull schools and bad teachers. Worse, it closes the subject. If all these millions truly are suffering from a treatable physical disorder, then we need not worry about our debased family life, dominated by
