Several prominent Democrats are likely to face renewed questions over their ties to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan after the suspect in Friday's Capitol attack, which left a police officer dead, was revealed to be a Nation of Islam adherent. (Snip) Farrakhan has previously described Adolf Hitler as a "very great man" and described Jewish people as "termites." Several Democratic members of Congress have known ties to Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., shared a stage with Farrakhan in 2011. After the event, Clyburn told the Final Call, the Nation of Islam's media

Comments:

I doubt the Farrakhan-loving politicians will face any blowback. They are continuously coddled by the media.

This mentally ill person thought Louis Farrakhan is the Messiah. Not mentioned in the MSM who are still trying to blame this on President Trump.

Why was Obama never forced to denounce Farrakhan publicly and forcefully like everyone else must do? Why wasn't his past association with the racist mentioned every time Obama's name was mentioned? He was Obama's neighbor in Chicago and while I'm not sure if Obama attended, I know that Valerie Jarret was a guest at a Farrakhan daughter's wedding. We all know Valerie's influence over our shadow president. Of course I know the answer. The Obama's are perfectly within their rights to consort with genuine racists while everyone else better watch every word they say for fear of losing their life's work and being shunned by society.

Farrakhan's Muslims are as fake as they come. Just a batch of black people with hate in their hearts. Islam does not teach Love for your neighbor or anyone else.

How Chicago's affordable housing

history of segregation

Posted by NorthernDog 4/4/2021 9:58:21 PM Post Reply
CHICAGO — Government-backed affordable housing in Chicago has largely been confined to majority-Black neighborhoods with high concentrations of poverty over the last two decades, a design that has perpetuated the city's long history of segregation. As the neighborhoods faced rising divestment, gun violence and food deserts, the lack of affordable housing in other parts of the city restricted many people of color from leaving. But now, using its largest pot of federal housing funding, Chicago wants to chart a corrective path by aggressively pushing for more affordable homes in high-income, well-resourced areas, which housing experts say would unlock previously unavailable opportunities

A long road came to an appropriate conclusion Sunday for Jordan Spieth, who shot four straight rounds under par to pick up a two-stroke victory in the 2021 Texas Open. It is Spieth's first victory on the PGA Tour since 2017 as the 27-year-old has struggled to find his game after an incredible start to his professional career. Spieth (-18) shot 67 or better in three of the four rounds at the Texas Open, closing with a 66 on Sunday to clear second-place finisher Charley Hoffman by two strokes. He birdied three of his final six holes Sunday and shot

MINNEAPOLIS — Ten months after his death, George Floyd's face looks out across a city still raw from his death. The intersection where he died under the knee of a police officer. The neighborhood burned and looted over the following days. The fortified courthouse where that former police officer is on trial for murder charges in Floyd's death. From the razor wire ringing the courthouse to a smattering of activists occupying the intersection where Derek Chauvin and three officers held Floyd to the ground, this city is still reckoning with the consequences of Floyd's death.

When Gov. Gavin Newsom voiced his support last year for a ban on hydraulic fracturing by oil and gas companies, an effort long fought by the industry and trade unions alike, he gave Democrats a green light to send him legislation to achieve that goal as they saw fit. But the crackdown on oil and gas production under consideration by the California Legislature is much wider in scope than the plan requested by the governor, who may get more than he bargained for as he shoulders the pressures of carrying out the state's COVID-19 pandemic response while battling a looming  CORRECTION*

A video has emerged from Russia showing a massive convoy of tanks and trucks speeding towards the Ukrainian border. Despite the heavy military presence, Russian President Putin said only humanitarian aid was being delivered to the region, which he described as being caught up in an internal conflict. The terrifying footage showed tens of tanks, armoured vehicles and trucks amongst traffic near the city of Krasnodar in southern Russia. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he was "gravely concerned" at the situation while US President Joe Biden lent support to Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a 50-minute phone conversation yesterday.

WASHINGTON — If America is dominated by car culture and the call of the open road, there is a big reason for that: Over the past 65 years, the United States has spent nearly $10 trillion in public funds on highways and roads and just one-quarter of that on subways, buses and passenger rail. But President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan, unveiled this week, represents one of the most ambitious efforts yet to challenge the centrality of the automobile in American life, by proposing to tilt federal spending far more toward public transportation and coax more people out of

Leftist activists are busy whipping up a national boycott of Georgia-based businesses over the state’s new election integrity law. The boycott has the support of Hollywood and the White House, with President Joe Biden saying this week that he would support moving the MLB’s All-Star Game out of the state as a sign of protest. Georgia Democrats are now left trying to talk the mob down. “I absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting Georgia,” Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff said in a statement on Thursday. “Georgia welcomes business, investment, jobs, opportunity, and events. In fact, economic growth is driving

After years of political wrangling and lobbying by advocacy groups, New York state has legalized cannabis for adult recreational use in a move that’s expected to shake up the industry, inspire other states to follow suit and help light a fire under the effort to reform the U.S.’s still-strict cannabis laws. However, some experts say the state’s 13% tax may be too high to compete with New York’s robust black market. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bill early Wednesday and called it a historic day for the state, which is expected to become the second biggest cannabis market in the

JERUSALEM — The historic walled Old City of Jerusalem came alive this week with Christian and Jewish religious festivals now that more than a third of the city is inoculated against COVID-19. Last spring, police checkpoints blocked Jewish families from gathering for the Passover eve meal, priests shut the wooden doors at the church marking Jesus' tomb, and the traditional Palm Sunday procession on the Mount of Olives was called off. This year, all of that was reversed, as infections have plummeted and authorities have eased restrictions on gatherings. On Palm Sunday, hundreds of Christian faithful marched down the Mount of

President Joe Biden touted his $2 trillion infrastructure plan as a "once-in-a-generation" effort to tackle climate change while creating millions of "good paying jobs." Some unions warn that it may ultimately cost a lot of jobs, too. Labor groups, echoed by Republicans in Congress, are cautioning that Biden's plan to hitch the jobs recovery to massive green energy investment could backfire because of the quality of employment it will create and the economic devastation it could cause on rural communities. The president's push to decarbonize the economy will mean eliminating the kind of steady, fixed-location jobs that come with coal

As a candidate, Joe Biden garnered nearly unanimous support from environmentalists, progressives, and clean energy advocates for his promise to reconfigure the U.S. economy for the fight against climate change. But as president, his $2.25 trillion jobs-and-infrastructure blueprint—released Wednesday and meant to fulfill much of that campaign pledge—received a much less harmonious welcome. “Today I find myself caught between two truths,” said Varshini Prakash, executive director of the youth climate activist group the Sunrise Movement. “This infrastructure plan is a historic step forward that would not have been possible without us,” she said, referring to fellow young protesters and advocates

Reporters traveling with first lady Jill Biden got an April Fools’ Day surprise on their flight back from California to Washington on Thursday. During meal service, a flight attendant with a “Jasmine” nametag passed out Dove ice cream bars. She wore a black mask and a black pantsuit and had short black hair. A few minutes later, “Jasmine” reemerged without the wig — revealing herself to be Jill Biden, laughing and proclaiming, “April Fools!” The first lady’s aides told reporters that they were just as surprised to discover the true identity of “Jasmine.”

Gay Hollywood actors are keeping their sexuality secret as they fear it will destroy their careers and stop them being cast in straight roles, Kate Winslet claims. The Oscar winning actress said she was aware of 'at least four actors' who weren't making their sexuality public as they were 'terrified' it will 'stand in the way'. Winslet, 45, told The Times' Culture Magazine: 'I cannot tell you the number of young actors I know—some well known, some starting out—who are terrified their sexuality will be revealed and that it will stand in the way of their being cast in straight roles.'

Until very recently, it would have been hard to imagine anything more iconic of American life than Coca Cola and baseball. Today both remind me of Benito Mussolini’s corporatist – aka, fascist -- game of merging of state and corporate power. The CEOs of these operations should hang their heads in shame and fire their public-relations teams. So should the CEOs of Delta and American Airlines, Black Rock, Cisco, American Express, and American Airlines, who have promoted President Biden’s false assertions that tightening election procedures to bring them back into line -- and in accord with those of civilized Western governments elsewhere -- is racist voter suppression.

Major League Baseball has expanded its contract with Chinese firm Tencent, the streaming service that briefly blocked National Basketball Association games amid a row over Hong Kong. The deal with Tencent gives the firm rights to continue streaming MLB games in China until 2023. Additionally, the contract will allow Tencent to broadcast MLB games in other Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, through its international service WeTV. News of the contract was revealed on Thursday, one day before MLB announced it will move the 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta, Ga., in protest of the state’s new voting law. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values
