New York City mayoral hopeful Andrew Yang on Wednesday said that anti-Asian racism in the Big Apple is growing “far darker”—as he spoke out on the massacre of eight people, including six Asian women, at Atlanta-area spas in Georgia. “I grew up Asian-American in New York and I was always accustomed to a certain level of bullying of racism, but it took a form of mockery of invisibility, of disdain, but that has metastasized to something far darker—you can feel it on the streets of New York,” he told reporters in Times Square. “I’ve been walking the streets

The Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple penned an opinion piece Tuesday slamming the newspaper’s “serious lapse” after it admitted to misquoting then-President Donald Trump during a January phone call with an investigator in the office of Georgia’s secretary of state. The Post reported in January, based on the account of one anonymous source, that Mr. Trump had instructed Georgia’s lead elections investigator, Frances Watson, to “find the fraud” and that she could become a “national hero” if she did.(Snip) Multiple major news outlets, including The New York Times, CNN, ABC News, and the Associated Press, echoed The Post’s incorrect reporting

Reports of White supremacist propaganda, including racist flyers, stickers, banners and other signage, nearly doubled in 2020 compared to the previous year, a leading watchdog group said Wednesday. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported it was aware of 5,125 incidents last year involving the distribution or posting of White supremacist propaganda, up from 2,724 cases the year before. Hate propaganda is a tried-and-true tactic for White supremacists, and this on the ground activity is now higher than we’ve ever previously recorded,” ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt said in a statement. “White supremacists appear to be more emboldened than ever, and the election

Eight people in a pickup truck filled with immigrants were killed after the vehicle crashed into another truck during a police chase that began when the driver refused to pull over for a traffic violation near the Texas border city of Del Rio, authorities said. The collision happened just weeks after one of the deadliest highway crashes involving migrants entering the U.S. without permission and amid rising crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says troopers were chasing a red Dodge pickup truck on U.S. Highway 277 on Monday afternoon when the truck collided head-on with a white

House Democrats are rushing this week to approve citizenship rights for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S., even as the homeland security secretary warned that agents are arresting more border jumpers than they have in two decades. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has teed up votes on one bill to grant quick legal status and a path to naturalization to farmworkers and another bill to do the same for young adult “Dreamers” and other migrants in the U.S. under the Temporary Protected Status program.(Snip) Many migrants cite the Biden changes as their reason for coming.

President Biden said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin was “a killer” in an interview Wednesday, vowing that he would “pay a price” for his election meddling efforts. The commander-in-chief made the remarks to ABC’s “Good Morning America” after being asked about a report from the office of the Director of National Intelligence which implicated the Kremlin in efforts to undermine US elections and divide American society.(Snip)
Asked by GMA anchor George Stephanopoulos about his previous comment that he did not believe the Russian president had a soul, Biden confirmed those remarks. “I did say that to him, yes,

President Biden on Tuesday kicked off his “Help is Here” tour of the nation, intended to promote his just-signed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill, but he hardly mentioned the bill on what was supposed to be the first leg of a “victory lap.” Biden spoke for about 3 minutes with the owners of Smith Flooring Inc in Chester, Pa., before reporters were escorted out, with almost no mention of his first major legislative achievement as president.(Snip) The president—who picked his ear and scratched his head during an at-times awkward first tour stop—said this month he wanted to aggressively promote

Albany, N.Y.—On Monday, Assemblymember Jon Rivera and Senator Sean Ryan announced that funding for the New York State Enhanced Services to Refugees Program had “overwhelming support” in both Legislative houses. As part of the 2021 state budget, the Assembly approved $3 million in funding. The next steps for the approval process are pending. The Enhanced Services to Refugees Program provides services so that refugees can successfully integrate into local communities.(Snip) Rivera and Ryan say refugees and immigrants have been instrumental in reversing the population decline in cities like Buffalo. Over 90% settle in Upstate New York, which makes the Program “vital” to the region.

A GoFundMe page set up to pay off the mortgage on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s $14.6 million California estate has gone bust—after raising a measly $110, a report says. Anastasia Hanson, 56, of California told Britain’s the Sun that she started the fundraising effort because she seriously felt sorry for the multimillionaire royal couple—after Harry publicly whined to Oprah Winfrey about being financially cut off by Buckingham Palace. “When they came to the USA, they were without jobs and with limited funds,” said Hanson, who lives about 25 minutes from the princely pair’s palatial estate in swanky Montecito.

A movie about the life and times of Hunter Biden is in the works, but it’s not coming out of Hollywood. Conservative Irish filmmakers Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer announced Tuesday the launch of a 60-day crowdfunding campaign aimed at raising $2.5 million for “My Son Hunter,” a film “based on the true story” of President Biden’s 51-year-old son. “It’s about Hunter Biden and his corrupt business dealings,” Mr. McAleer said in a video post on MySonHunter.com.(Snip) The film’s website shows images of the president and Hunter Biden along with the U.S. and Chinese flags and a pair of pole dancers

Our federal police agency says Antifa is merely an idea, rather than an organized Marxist group with a name and a flag and a history dating back to Weimar Germany, where they did the same thing, and that groups of dangerous radical right-wing white supremacists are their top focus, despite being merely an idea. Who is at war with whom here?
