First U.S. City to Issue Reparations Pauses Payments
Posted By: Imright, 3/9/2025 1:20:27 PM
Liberal Evanston, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, is the first U.S city to issue slavery reparations. The city committed $20 million to the program to come from tax collected from cannabis sales. The first group of persons eligible for $25,000 payments are current Evanston residents who identify as Black or African American and were at least 18 years of age between 1919 and 1969. Evanston refers to this group as “ancestors.” During a Reparations Committee March listening session, a pause of the program was announced after projections based on 2019 came in lower than expected.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has asked the Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate a possible link between vaccines and autism.
The request, which was reported by multiple media outlets including CNN and The Washington Post, will involve a study using the Vaccine Safety Datalink, which monitors safety of vaccines and investigates potential adverse reactions.
“As President Trump said in his Joint Address to Congress, the rate of autism in American children has skyrocketed,” HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said in a statement to CNN.
Do you think any normal people are listening to these Democrat and affiliated lunatics? I mean, I’m listening to them, and you’re probably listening to them, because we’re deep inside the whole political world, but I have to wonder – are normal people paying any attention at all to these circus freaks and their incessant, hyperbolic whining, mewling, and complaining? I don’t know. I have been too busy lately to spend a lot of time around normal people, but I do see some indicators. About 76% of people who listened to Donald Trump’s speech the other night loved it. Americans never agree on 76% of anything, not even that
Warren, Mich. — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.
He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
“What all of this tells me, is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move toward oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,” Sanders yelled.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has slammed Europe’s “cowardice” to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin as his nation looks to arm itself with nuclear weapons to avoid the same fate as Ukraine.
Tusk said the current situation in Europe, which is scrambling to react to President Trump’s decision to halt military aid and intelligence to Ukraine, would not have happened if the union took harsher actions against Russia.
“Our deficit has been the lack of the will to act, having no confidence, and sometimes even cowardice,” Tusk told his parliament on Friday, adding that Moscow would have been rendered “helpless against a united Europe.”
President Donald Trump sat down with Maria Bartiromo for Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” and discussed the current state of the Democrat Party.
Trump shared that he believes there’s “something wrong” with Democrats in power and believes the party is in serious trouble, even suggesting that they could become a minor party based on their recent antics.
Bartiromo, remarking on the embarrassing tantrums thrown by Dems during Trump’s address to Congress last week, said, “I was surprised at the Democrat’s behavior the other night. Because you delivered among the most diverse, expanded audience….Republicans and Democrats, Independents.”
“So is it just that the Democrat leadership
Republicans are pushing for the swift passage of a Continuing Resolution (CR) to ensure the government remains funded and avoid a potential shutdown. Party leaders emphasize that passing the CR is crucial to maintaining stability while providing an opportunity to secure vital conservative priorities, such as preventing unnecessary spending and holding the line against liberal overreach. With fiscal responsibility at the forefront, GOP members rally behind the CR to ensure the nation's focus stays on essential issues, protect taxpayers from potential disruptions, and advance President Donald Trump's agenda.
A small plane crashed in suburban Pennsylvania shortly after takeoff on Sunday, leaving multiple people injured and several vehicles burnt to a crisp as it burst into flames on impact.
The plane carrying five passengers came down in Brethren Village, Manheim Township, just after it took off from nearby Lancaster Airport at 3:15 p.m. EDT, according to authorities.

Ironic justice occurs when hypocritical liars receive their comeuppances.
For instance, what if Democrats who long posed as feminists ended up triggering a female-led political tidal wave that completed the party’s electoral demise?
In an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday, 24-year-old women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines admitted that her whirlwind journey from University of Kentucky swimmer to prominent conservative activist could eventually lead to a run for political office.

War Room White House Correspondent and Executive Editor Natalie Winters has become the subject of an international smear campaign simply for exercising her freedom to hold strong, fact-based views while wearing glamorous clothing.

Folks, it's official. Kamala Harris is beginning to contemplate what needs to be done in terms of recognizing the importance of understanding the steps she must take to seriously consider thinking about running for governor of California in 2026. This bombshell revelation was exclusively reported by Eugene Daniels, the Politico fashion icon and "Kamala Harris expert" who will soon join MSNBC as weekend show cohost.

Kim said, “We want to make sure that these decisions are made by the communities whether it’s schools and and others that are the ones closest to us. And understand what we know is that we’re talking about a handful of people, a handful of athletes around the country.

Many documents signed by President Joe Biden were done so using an autopen,
according to a new report by an arm of the
conservative Heritage Foundation, sparking
questions over who was pulling the strings

'Whoever Controlled the Autopen Controlled the Presidency,' the Oversight Project wrote in a post on X on Thursday.
'We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year,' it continued.
Gurpreet Singh was handcuffed, his legs shackled and a chain tied around his waist. He was led on to the tarmac in Texas by US Border Patrol, towards a waiting C-17 military transport aircraft.

As Catholics around the world celebrate Lent, the Vatican, under the stewardship of radical leftist Pope Francis, wants to make sure that Ramadan is at the forefront.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) on Saturday joined in on the new Democrat strategy to fight back against President Trump's agenda, which involves cursing to seem super-edgy while producing videos worthy of entry into the Cringe Hall of Fame.Swalwell took to TikTok and posted a video where he joked that Elon Musk is secretly the "real" president and yet somehow didn't speak at the joint address to Congress this past week.
"What a f****** week, huh?" the bleary-eyed congressman says, holding his phone in selfie mode. "You know how weird this week was?"

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced a further wave of contract terminations late Saturday, noting that they also identified thousands of cases where more than $300 million in loans were granted to children.
The announcements come as the Elon Musk-led agency continues to root out waste, fraud and corruption in the federal government.
DOGE said it identified that the Small Business Administration (SBA) granted nearly 5,600 loans for $312 million to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan. The loans were issued in 2020 and 2021 – while the world struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic – and it is unclear

Utah Republicans are making a stand for election security, passing legislation that will dramatically change how mail-in ballots are handled in the state. The GOP-controlled Legislature has approved legislation that would end universal mail-in voting and implement stronger voter identification requirements. The bill now awaits the signature of Republican Governor Spencer Cox, who has already signaled his support.
For years, Utah has been one of the few Republican-led states that embraced universal mail-in voting, which automatically sends ballots to every registered voter. But amid growing concerns about election integrity, particularly from voters who have watched election chaos unfold in other states, Utah lawmakers are taking action
Mark Carney, the former head of the UK and Canada central banks, was named Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s successor Sunday and immediately fired shots at President Trump in his victory speech.

Independent Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieckhoff claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” that Ukrainians are “more American” than the American people.
Rieckhoff said, “Donald Trump has completely betrayed Ukraine. He has stabbed them in the back and every week he needs to twist it and drive it deeper with a new move that cuts more of their legs out from under them.” Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “What do you say to the person who says, I don’t care about Ukraine, I want Donald Trump to stand up for Russia?”
