Scholastic has pulled a popular children’s book written by the author of the “Captain Underpants” series author—for promoting “passive racism.” The publisher announced that it will no longer distribute Dav Pilkey’s 2010 graphic novel, “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future,” saying in a statement released last week that the decision had been made with the “full support” of the children’s book author.(Snip) Pilkey, who is also behind the popular “Dog Man” series, also shared a letter apologizing on YouTube, in which he explained that the book was intended to “showcase diversity, equality, and non-violent conflict resolution.”

A racist attacker beat an Asian woman who was walking to her Midtown church on Monday morning in a suspected hate-driven attack—as a security guard in a nearby building watched and did nothing to help, according to police and footage of the attack. The unidentified suspect allegedly hurled anti-Asian statements as he punched and kicked the 65-year-old woman on West 43rd Street near Ninth Avenue at about 11:40 a.m., according to cops.(Snip)
Video footage of the attack provided by police shows the suspect kicking the victim to the ground—then kicking her in the head several times
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg walked back an idea he was touting just days ago to tax drivers by the mile as a way to ensure drivers of electric cars pay kick in more for wear and tear on roads.
'No, that's not part of the conversation about this infrastructure bill,' he said Monday when asked about the idea on CNN's 'The Lead' by host Jake Tapper, as President Joe Biden prepares to roll out his $3 trillion plan.
'But you will be hearing a lot more details in the coming days about how we envision being able to fund this.
A woman wanted for stabbing a 14-year-old girl in a Brooklyn subway stop was busted after a transit worker spotted the suspect back at the same station two weeks later, police said Monday. Bianca Lewis, 21, was arrested Sunday for assault and weapon possession. She allegedly knifed the teen inside the Sutter Ave.-Rutland Road station in Brownsville about 6 p.m. March 13, police said. The victim tried to stun her attacker with a Taser before being stabbed in the wild brawl, cops said. The mayhem began when the teen and her assailant got into an argument in a deli outside the station.
President Biden’s big announcement that Vice President Kamala Harris is in charge of the crisis at the US-Mexico border was apparently just some “confusion”—and she is merely tasked with addressing its “root causes,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. Psaki issued the stunning clarification less than a week after Biden told reporters that he was delegating one of the most pressing issues of his young presidency to the veep.(Snip) Regardless of the specific focus of her border efforts, Harris is yet to begin taking meetings on the ongoing crisis. Harris made no media appearances on any of the highly watched

A confrontation between two strangers led to a fatal shooting at a Minneapolis convenience store last week, according to a criminal complaint.
Chaz E. Stubblefield, 33, of Minneapolis, was charged Friday in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree intentional murder in connection with Wednesday's shooting of 46-year-old Ryan K. Decker, of St. Cloud, outside the Stop N Shop at 1700 E. Lake St.(Snip)A woman said Decker was in town to help her move, and they stopped at the store shortly before midnight so he could get a beverage, but he decided to leave because the security guard was being rude.
Homeland Security issued a new plea Monday for volunteers to head to the border to help handle the surge of illegal immigrants and said those who do want to go can jump the line to get COVID-19 vaccines. The urgent request from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas underscores the difficulty the administration is having, even as it declines to label the situation a crisis.(Snip) Employees from across Homeland Security are being asked to head to Texas to help care for the families and unaccompanied juveniles that are piling up in facilities, in what has been labeled a humanitarian challenge. “A second request for DHS volunteers
Horrifying new video captures an out-of-control New York City subway rider mercilessly beating another straphanger unconscious in front of other passengers—in what cops are calling a possible hate crime. The NYPD’s Hate Crime Unit tweeted out footage of the violent incident, and the department said the attack is being investigated for possible bias. However, sources said cops are still waiting for the victim to come forward before they can determine whether there was any. It wasn’t clear what sparked Sunday’s train beat-down, law enforcement sources said—but a woman can be heard on the footage being asked what prompted the attack
George Floyd popped “what are thought to be two Percocet pills” before his fatal encounter with police, the lawyer for ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin said at his murder trial Monday. Defense lawyer Eric Nelson said during opening arguments that Floyd’s pals told police that they had trouble waking him up after he took the drugs on May 25, 2020, the day he died while in police custody. “Mr. Floyd’s friends will explain that Mr. Floyd fell asleep in the car and that they couldn’t wake him up to get going,” Nelson told the jury. “They thought police might be coming.”
President Biden announced a plan on Monday to spur development of large offshore wind farms to generate electricity for up to 10 million homes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the plan envisions large windmills along every coast of the continental U.S. She said it will eventually produce “tens of thousands of good-paying union jobs.” “The president recognizes that a thriving offshore wind industry will drive new jobs and economic opportunity up and down the Atlantic Coast, in the Gulf of Mexico and in Pacific waters,” she said. Ms. Psaki also said the initiative will eliminate 78 million
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky became emotional at a White House coronavirus press briefing on Monday—her voice breaking as she warned that the US is facing “impending doom” as COVID-19 cases rise again.
“I’m gonna lose the script and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky told reporters at the briefing.
“We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right now I’m scared.”

San Francisco, Calif.—Staples and Office Depot are offering to laminate your COVID-19 vaccination card for free. Millions of Americans who have received the COVID-19 vaccine are carrying around paper cards as proof. Keeping your card safe could come in handy. Some destinations, cruise lines and major sports venues require proof of full vaccination, while some businesses are offering perks to people who can prove they received the vaccine. The vaccine cards include information on which vaccine was given and the date it was administered. The card also serves as a reminder as to when to get the second dose
The Biden administration and private firms are reportedly developing a ‘vaccine passport’ that will allow Americans to return to pre-pandemic activities like travel and shopping by showing proof they’ve been inoculated against COVID-19. The ‘vaccine passport’ is considered key to meeting the administration’s goal of emerging from the lockdown and returning to a semblance of normalcy this summer. It will in all likelihood be available for free through smartphones. Vaccinated Americans will be able to flash a scannable code while those who do not have phones could print out a code on a piece of paper, according to The Washington Post.

After months of speculation, today The Washington Post confirmed that the Biden regime is developing a “vaccine passport” that Americans may need to present to prove they have received their COVID-19 vaccine before they will be allowed to engage in commerce in a “return to normalcy” that looks nothing like the past.(Snip)The left wing newspaper also believes that the vaccines can be used to bully skeptical Americans into taking the controversial vaccines.(Snip)However, the Biden regime apparently wants this pressure to come entirely in the form of corporate interests requiring vaccines, and does not want to use the weight of the federal government to require the vaccine passports.

Joe Biden on Monday said he “shares the sentiment” of CDC Director Rochelle Walensky who warned of “impending doom” with the Covid case trajectory. “We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential…and so much reason for hope, but right now I’m scared,” Walensky said of a virus with a 99.98% survival rate. The US is currently recording a weekly average of approximately 63,000 Covid cases per day, a slight uptick from last week.Biden said he shares the sentiment with Walensky.

President Biden called on governors and local leaders to reinstate coronavirus-related mask mandates during a White House briefing Monday, before announcing several other vaccine-related directives.
"I’m reiterating my call for every governor, mayor and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate," Biden said. "Please, this is not politics, reinstate the mandate if you let it down."
The call follows actions taken by several states to lift mask requirements earlier this month and ease business restrictions, such as Texas and Mississippi, which drew sharp criticism amid early-stage vaccine rollouts and the spread of highly transmissible coronavirus variants.
The Supreme Court on Monday denied a bid by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to uphold a court ruling requiring Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about her private email system. The Supreme Court’s denial was unsigned and issued without comment. In January Judicial Watch filed a petition for writ of certiorari (“cert petition”) with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to uphold a court ruling requiring Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about her private email system. Hillary Clinton used a private email system to conduct official government business when she was the head of the Department of State.
No Storm, No Reckoning, No Nothing

For years we have been hearing about a coming storm. It was to be biblical and would bring pain to members of the deep state ruling class who, after exposure, would not be able to walk down the streets.
The storm was to begin with spygate (snip) Then there were crimes against humanity: child abuse, trafficking, and the like, all to be exposed via the Anthony Weiner laptop or the Jeffrey Epstein cabal (snip) In July of 2020, John Solomon reported, “DOJ activity indicates John Durham preparing indictments.” (snip) The longer this goes on, damaging and socializing the country, the harder it will be to stop or reverse.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Unit is investigating a video showing a man beating an Asian man relentlessly aboard a subway car before choking him until he appears to be unconscious.
Originally posted on Twitter by user @AsianDawn4 early Monday, the tweet of the video purports the violent incident took place aboard a Manhattan-bound J train at the Kosciuszko Street station in Bushwick. Police have not confirmed these details.
The nearly minute-long video appears to begin with a scuffle between the two men already in progress.

I recently wrote a column wherein I accused the American Left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat party, of using Fascist or Nazi tactics in their determination to permanently transform the nation into a one-party hybrid socialist state by exploiting nonexistent “systemic racism” and baseless fears of “white supremacy.” This characterization did not set well with the gullible and self-righteous Democrat voters I know (snip) any thoughtful and unemotional examination of the tactics the Nazi Party used to gain and maintain power in the 1920’s and 30’s will reveal numerous stark similarities to those being used by the left and the Democrat Party today.
