inherent racism central to U.S.
Posted By: Ribicon, 4/21/2021 11:06:58 AM
The Biden administration plans to offer grants for U.S. history classes that teach critical race theory and the “1619 Project,” a New York Times series that views slavery and the consequences of slavery as the centerpiece of the American narrative. The grants were proposed this week as part of programs that dispense several million dollars a year to K-12 schools.(Snip) “What’s really happening in the ‘Proposed Priorities’ is an effort to establish funding priorities that will shape the $1 billion per year Educating for American Democracy (EAD) bill pending in Congress,” said Peter Wood, president of the conservative National Association of Scholars.

China is working on a long-range stealth bomber which may be able to carry out nuclear strikes on US targets in Guam and beyond, a military analyst has revealed. New computer-generated images of the Xian H-20 strategic bomber have been published by the state defence corporation, Norinco – the first glimpse of the next-generation warplane which has been under development for years. The four images suggest the bomber has a weapon bay, two adjustable tail wings, an airborne radar and two air intakes either side of the cockpit in a similar design to the USAF B-2 Spirit,
Vague threats from social media users dressed as menacing clowns in 2016 led to intense police monitoring of their accounts and an effort to “identify those who may be responsible”, according to records from Washington DC’s Metropolitan police department (MPD). The threats, which came in the lead-up to Halloween from accounts billing themselves as “killer clowns” under user names like “snappytheclown_” and “dmvclownns”, led to intensive surveillance of those participating in the clown craze which triggered a wave of clown-themed media coverage. Clown sightings were eventually recorded all over the US in 2016, having apparently begun in Greenville, South Carolina, before spreading across the south
The D.C. mayor wants $400 million devoted to creating more affordable housing. Mayor Muriel Bowser will deliver her budget to the D.C. Council on Thursday. With the new project in the Petworth neighborhood Spring Flats nearing completion behind her, Bowser said she plans to commit $400 million toward housing when she presents her budget. “My budget will include enough local rental supplement program vouchers to ensure that 50% of the homes produced using the FY 22 Trust Fund dollars are for residents making between zero and 30% of the median family income, and we know that’s a big deal,” Bowser said.
Parents in Loudoun County, Virginia, are outraged over the public school district’s decision to start using an anonymous “Bias Reporting” form. The parents, who are part of a recently formed political action committee called “Fight for Schools,” say the form “asks students to anonymously cancel each other” in an effort to root out racism.(Snip) A spokesperson for Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) told The Washington Times that the form is part of the district’s “Detailed Action Plan to Combat Systemic Racism.” “The specific reason behind this action step is to utilize it as a means to amplify and elevate student voice,” the spokesperson said
A Bronx man busted for firing at a pair of NYPD officers outside a cell phone store was shooting to kill, police said Monday. Cops arrested Calvin Peterkin, 39, charging him with attempted murder of a police officer in the Wednesday night confrontation. The officers were responding to a call to the Boost Mobile store on E. 174th St. and Vyse Ave. in East Morrisania when they came across Peterkin outside. He had an ongoing dispute with the store’s workers, and was waving a gun at them, police said. When the officers arrived at about 6:30 p.m., he shot at them and they returned fire,
Minneapolis police are bringing in outside help as they try to temper violence that killed four people this weekend alone, including a college senior who was out celebrating graduation. Mayor Jacob Frey said the city has asked state and federal agencies for assistance, citing the city's shortage of officers.(Snip) Nearly 200 Minneapolis police officers have left the department since Floyd's death, including dozens who filed PTSD claims after the unrest. The issue of police staffing has been contentious within City Hall. Frey unveiled a plan to eventually build the force's ranks back up close to its prior levels.
Fairfield Twp., New Jersey—One arrest has been made in connection to the fatal mass shooting over the weekend at a house party in Bridgeton, New Jersey that left two people dead and 12 others injured.

A British Black Lives Matter leader took a bullet in the head when a London gang carried out a botched drive-by shooting to assassinate a rival at the end of an all-day party—and she was 'not the intended victim', a friend and fellow anti-racism campaigner said today. Sasha Johnson, 27, the self-styled 'Black Panther of Oxford' who has called for the police to be defunded after the murder of George Floyd as well as helping lead the 'Rhodes Must Fall' campaign to topple controversial statues, was 'brutally' attacked in Peckham after receiving multiple death threats, her political party said.
Joe Biden will not include student loan forgiveness in his upcoming Budget, after pledging to cancel $10,000 from loans on the campaign trail.
Biden is due to announce his latest budget at the end of next week, and claims he has grown suspicious of wiping out the loans. The shift in policy is a major blow for the more than 42 million Americans who have student loans. Biden had been pressured by progressives in the Democrat Party including Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to forgive up to $50,000 in debt. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, was also in favor.
Video captured the horrifying moment a woman was stabbed in an unprovoked attack on the subway before a passing journalist jumped in to save her.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed she is in therapy after the Capitol Riot she believes was an 'all-out attempted coup'.The Squad member told the Latino USA podcast that she is learning to 'slow down' and indicated her colleagues in the House are still too scared to talk about what happened on January 6.'Oh yeah, I'm doing therapy but also I've just slowed down. I think the Trump administration had a lot of us, especially Latino communities, in a very reactive mode,' she said.

In the last twelve months we have been ceaselessly bombarded by claims that America is a racist society in which Black people are oppressed by White people.
This is a truly astonishing claim because nothing could be further from the truth.
You can conduct a quick reality check yourself. Despite their fervent accusations of racism, those who make them have not been able to point to a single racist law, ordinance or practice in the whole of the United States. This holds true across the spectrum: the federal, state and local levels. If the United States were indeed an institutionally racist society, you could surely find at least one law or practice
Carjacking is a dangerous proposition … just ask this man who got trampled by an angry driver, and it’s all on video.
The attempted carjacking went down last year but started trending this morning because the video was released for public use yesterday. In the video you see a black man trying to stop a car by standing in the middle of the road as he pulls out a gun.
The would-be carjacker receives instant karma as the driver of the car hits the gas and sent him flying down the street.
The moment of impact did some heavy damage to the man.

Fans mobbed Phil Mickelson on his final walk up to the 18th green on Sunday at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, but Brooks Koepka wasn’t happy about it. Mickelson won the PGA Championship in South Carolina to claim his sixth major championship title, a feat that made him the oldest to ever win a major. That, naturally, sent golf fans into a frenzy. In the process, however, it seems as if Mickelson’s playing partner got caught up in the mob.

Congressman Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) says his honeymoon in Dubai was more important than showing up to vote against trashy bills orchestrated by Democrats in the U.S. House.“If I have a choice between voting with Nancy Pelosi or spending time with my beautiful wife, I’ll chose Cristina every time,” newlywed Cawthorn declared. On Real America’s Voice News, the lawmaker responded to media reports that he has the worst voting record in the first-term class, missing 16.2 percent of votes among that cohort on the floor of the chamber, which is under narrow, but effective, control of the Democrats, and where the minority party — unlike in the Senate —
If Rep. Liz Cheney thought the “strange new respect” she garnered from the left-wing media over the last several months would be long-lasting, she’s learning quickly that’s not the case. Apparently, simply being anti-Trump doesn’t mean much if you choose to not toe the line on every single issue.
With that said, I regret to inform all of you that the honeymoon is over. Who could have possibly foreseen this except everyone paying attention? This is the problem with seeking backslaps from Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, The Washington Post, and the rest of the mainstream media. As a Republican, you are always just a tool
Bob Dylan Turns 80
26 replies
Today is the 80th birthday of Robert Allen Zimmerman of Hibbing, Minn., better known to the world as Bob Dylan. Few American musicians have attracted more praise or influenced more artists than Dylan. He even won a Nobel Prize in Literature for his lyrics. Dylan is loved by some and respected without affection by others, yet, for many, the sound of his voice and the words of his songs produce a reflexive revulsion. Either way, Dylan has always been more complex and interesting than the public image embraced by casual fans and bitter detractors alike.
Dylan hitting “the big 8-0” is a generational milestone.

Graduation should be a time of celebration. But in Texas, Saturday night was set for an uncomfortable scene.As reported by The College Fix, a group of students planned to walk out of the commencement in protest.The reason for their revolt: the school’s use of 1903-penned song “The Eyes of Texas.”According to opponents of the tune, it’s downright racist.More specifically, it’s anti-black.The folks’ Facebook page laid it out: After years of protesting the usage of “The Eyes of Texas” for its anti-Black racist history and months of concentrated efforts on the part of students and allied faculty to replace the school song,
One thing that has always haunted the transgender trend is the regret that many feel after they’ve had transitional surgeries or hormone treatments done to them. Mainstream media sources were more or less terrified of discussing it, and even universities were afraid of looking into it out of fear of backlash from the LGBT community. All the way back in 2018, I wrote how Bath Spa University originally approved psychotherapist James Caspian’s request for de-transitioning research after thousands who underwent some form of transition surgery began showing up to surgeons for reversals. Surgeons noticed that those who came in to receive their de-transition surgeries were younger and younger, going from

Don't hate WHITE people? Too bad, because hating WHITE people and dismantling what once was the USA is the stated position of the US government, which is controlled by Marxists. And if it wasn't the blacks, the oppressed would be women or American Indians or homosexuals or immigrants or Japanese internment camp victims or some other group.
