It was a shift from 2021, when Harris was closely identified with her role of focusing on 'root causes' of the border crisis. This time, with both of them seated in the East Room of the White House, it was Biden who took ownership of the controversial issue.(Snip)'It's not like people sit around and say and in Guadalajara, "I got a great idea.

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is suing three NFL teams and the league itself, which he claims “is racially segregated and is managed much like a plantation”. Flores, who is Black, was surprisingly fired by the Dolphins last month despite leading the team to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2003. The lawsuit, which was filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, seeks unspecified damages.(Snip)Flores says afterwards he was “treated with disdain and held out as someone who was noncompliant and difficult to work with” and was subsequently cast as an “an angry Black man”. The NFL has long been criticised
Just six of the 109 affordable homes Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation built for low-income residents in New Orleans following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 are still in livable condition nearly 20 years later. A vast majority of the homes, which were built for $26.8 million, are riddled with construction-related problems that have led to mold, termites, rotting wood and flooding, urban geographer Judith Keller wrote for Market Watch, and as of early 2022, six of the homes are vacant because of mold, rot and other structural issues after they were built without essential needs for the city's sub-tropical climate.
New York—After inspiring dancers around the world, Misty Copeland is sharing the stories of the trailblazing ballerinas who’ve inspired her. Copeland sat down with PIX11 News to discuss her latest book, “Black Ballerinas: My Journey to Our Legacy.” “I wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for so many that slowly opened doors,” Copeland said. The book profiles 25 unsung heroines in the classical dance world, including one of Copeland’s mentors, Raven Wilkinson. A Harlem native, Wilkinson was the first African American woman to be admitted to a major American ballet company, gracing stages across the country in the 1950s. “When I first learned of her story,
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors—who resigned in the wake of a Post expose of her spending spree on lavish homes—is tied to several other fundraising organizations whose finances raise “potential red flags,” according to a new report. One of the groups, Reform LA Jails, in 2019 collected more than $1.4 million, of which $205,000 went to a consulting company owned by Cullors and her spouse Janaya Khan, New York magazine said. Another $211,000 was paid to Cullors’ pal Asha Bandele, who co-wrote her memoir, and about $86,000 was paid to an entertainment, clothing and consulting company called Trap Heals, which was started by Damon Turner, the father
A homeless parolee has been busted for torching an NYPD patrol car with a Molotov cocktail to get back at cops who kicked him out of a Bronx subway station, police said Tuesday. Anthony Phillips was nabbed in Midtown Friday by cops who saw him panhandling and recognized him from a wanted poster, police said. On Jan. 6, Phillips, 51, allegedly set fire to the patrol car outside the Pelham Bay Park subway station shortly after cops booted him out of the station for acting up.(Snip)Phillips, charged with arson and reckless endangerment, has more than a dozen prior arrests on his record, police said.
One of President Biden picks for the Federal Reserve Board has called for black Americans to receive reparations for decades of slavery and economic discrimination. Details emerged in the week when Republican are expected to grill Lisa Cook, an economics professor at Michigan State University, about whether her public views would prevent her being a nonpartisan Fed official. Biden announced Cook's nomination on Jan. 14 and, if confirmed, she would be the first black woman on the seven-person board.(Snip)'Everybody benefited from slavery. Everybody,' Cook said in a September 2020 EconTalk podcast, in which she described her research into inequality. That includes universities that bought and sold slaves,
China‘s intelligence services and related hackers are engaged in a “massive, sophisticated” program to steal information as part of a technology theft campaign larger than all other foreign adversaries combined, according to FBI Director Christopher A. Wray. Additionally, Chinese intelligence agents, including professional officers, government officials and co-opted Americans, are all part of a plan to obtain valuable American proprietary technical know-how to support the ruling Communist regime, Mr. Wray said in a speech in California Monday night.(Snip)But unlike with the Soviet Union, U.S. firms are heavily invested in China‘s economy, while Beijing dispatches large numbers of students to study at elite U.S. universities.
National Security Agency analysts failed to follow court-approved procedures and internal policies for examining Americans’ data when conducting searches under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to an NSA inspector general report. The semiannual report to Congress, published Monday, says an evaluation of NSA analysts’ searches of communications aimed at foreigners did not always follow the rules and Americans’ privacy may suffer as a result.(Snip)“NSA continues to employ measures to assist analysts in conducting their work compliantly with civil liberties and privacy protections,” an NSA spokesman said. “As the OIG included in its report, the Agency has in place multiple processes to aid in ensuring query compliance.”

Brooklyn’s Kings Plaza mall sends shoppers scrambling 18 replies
Three teens—two of them already facing gun raps from recent arrests—have been charged after a gang-related shooting inside Brooklyn’s Kings Plaza mall sent shoppers scrambling for cover, police said Tuesday. The shooting wounded two boys. Timothy Briggs, 19, Jaheim Covington, 19, and Omarion Harvey, 18, were captured fleeing the Kings Plaza Shopping Center on Flatbush Ave. and Avenue U in Mill Basin after shots rang out inside the Laced Up sneaker store, cops said.

Portlanders are more negative than ever about their quality of life in the far-left Oregon burg, according to a newly released poll.
The Portland Business Alliance’s annual survey, released Friday, shows record-high dissatisfaction among registered voters in the tri-county area, with a whopping 88% saying their quality of life is declining, far higher than the 49% who said so in January 2020.
The poll conducted by DHM Research “reveals voter pessimism is at an all-time high, and approval of the city council at a historic low,” the business alliance said.(Snip)The survey found that voters’ biggest concerns were homelessness (45%), followed by crime (24%) and politics
The United States, China and North Korea are among only six countries that allow abortion on demand throughout the entirety of pregnancy, according to research comparing America to the rest of the world. Canada, Vietnam and South Korea are the other three outliers, according to a study released last week by the Family Research Council, an evangelical Christian advocacy group.
Overall, 69 nations permit elective abortion and 58 of those countries restrict it after 14 weeks of gestation, just after the first trimester, the study found.(Snip)The study found that 99 of the nearly 200 nations surveyed ban abortion from the moment of conception or allow abortion only
It’s a Dutch re-treat. Manhattan’s elite Collegiate School set up a special task force and spent three years debating its “Dutchman’’ mascot and motto—then issued a 400-page report that’s a lesson in wokeness-run-amok, critics say. The Herculean effort at PC reform led the $60,000-a-year Upper East Side school to not only drastically alter its winking playful mascot image—but also toss “God” from its motto and even “A.D.” from its seal, considering both potentially offensive.(Snip)The K-12 school—which counts John F. Kennedy Jr. and David Duchovny as former students—began probing its “history and symbols” in 2019.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is dropping anchor in South Carolina as he prepares to mount a 2024 White House bid.
Pence is headed back to the Palmetto State in April and May as part of a deliberate strategy to build support with conservative activists and Republican operatives in the state that hosts the third primary on the GOP nominating calendar — and first in the South. Leading this effort is the plugged-in national Republican strategist Chip Saltsman as well as Josh Kimbrell, a state senator described as an “ambassador” for Pence in South Carolina, with other party insiders quietly assisting.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke out against a growing truck convoy of vaccine mandate protesters at the nation’s capital on Monday, claiming Canadians are “disgusted” by their behavior.Trudeau released the post on Twitter just hours after announcing he had tested positive for COVID-19.“I know this pandemic is frustrating.

Albany—An upstate district attorney’s office is dropping its criminal investigation of sexual harassment allegations against Andrew Cuomo—shutting down the last of five criminal cases involving the disgraced ex-governor. But Oswego DA Gregory Oakes told The Post on Monday that while there’s not “sufficient legal basis” to bring charges based on allegations of unwanted physical contact by accuser Virginia Limmiatis, “this decision is not an exoneration.” “After a thorough review of the available evidence and applicable law, the Oswego County District Attorney’s Office has concluded that there is not a sufficient legal basis to bring criminal charges against former Governor Andrew Cuomo based upon the allegations of unwanted
President Biden said Monday that his administration is committed to improving the border crisis by trying to "figure out" why migrants are leaving their home countries for the U.S. in the first place.
"We’re working a lot with neighboring countries. A lot to do," Biden said during a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris and the National Governors Association (NGA) at the White House. "I think one of the fundamental things we've got to do in addition to some of the changes we'll make, which we won’t get into it today, is that if we figure out why they're leaving in the first place," the president continued.
She could be America’s next Olympic darling — a stunning 18-year-old skier who signed with Victoria’s Secret and plans to attend Stanford after she vies for gold in Beijing.
But Eileen Gu won’t be competing for the US.
Instead, in a move that’s baffled members of the American skiing community, San Francisco-born-and bred Gu has joined Team China. (Snip) “She became the athlete she is because she grew up in the United States, where she had access to premier training grounds and coaching that, as a female, she might not have had in China,” Hudak told The Post. “I think she would be a different skier if she grew up in China.
Vice President Kamala Harris came within yards of a pipe bomb during last year’s US Capitol riot–and was inside the Democratic National Committee building for about two hours before the device was discovered, according to a new report. Several sources told CNN that Harris drove just a short distance away from the explosive, which was lying next to a bench outside the DNC on Jan. 6, 2021. Her motorcade pulled into the headquarters garage about 11:30 a.m. and stopped at the parking deck near where the bomb was later discovered, according to the network. It has previously been reported that Harris was inside the DNC headquarters

Holocaust wasn’t about race: ‘These
are two White groups’ 32 replies
ABC’s "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared the Holocaust was "not about race" despite the systematic killing of an estimated six million Jews, leading to sharp criticism of the outspoken liberal. The daytime gabfest was in the midst of a conversation about a Tennessee school district voting to remove a Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust from its curriculum due to "inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman. "Maus" by Art Spiegelman tells the story of his Jewish parents living in 1940s Poland and depicts him interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.
San Quentin death row - where California's most macabre and twisted killers were once caged - is being shuttered and converted into a 'positive, healing environment.'The prison ward is seeped in dark history dating back to March 3, 1893 when the first of 215 prisoners was hung. It has since housed notorious murderers including Charles Manson, Richard 'the night stalker' Ramirez, and William Bonin, a serial killer who killed at least 21 young men and boys.It's the current home of Scott Peterson, who was sentenced to death in 2005 for the murder of his wife Laci and their unborn son.
Libby was convicted in 2007 of obstruction of justice and other crimes related to a leak of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. The conviction was widely viewed as a miscarriage of justice, especially because Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage later admitted that he was the likely source of the leak, not Libby. President George W. Bush commuted Libby’s sentence, but despite the urging of then-Vice President Cheney, he declined to issue a formal pardon for his aide.
It was only Trump who pardoned Libby in 2018, taking the political heat for doing so and standing up for Libby’s record of public service.
Veteran, 76-year-old rocker Neil Young was bad enough. Seventy-eight-year-old Joni Mitchell soon followed. In yet another “devastating blow,” 71-year-old Peter Frampton came next. Oh noes, how will Spotify survive?
But now, in what might prove to be the death blow to Spotify, the ex-royals of ex-royals — attention-craving Harry and Meghan — have announced that they too will join the Joe Rogan protest and boycott the audio streaming and media services provider. But first a bit of background.
The left has long accused Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” — the most popular podcast in the world in 2021— of spreading COVID “misinformation” and “anti-vaccination rhetoric,”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked media outlets who focused on the consequences of 'soft-on-crime' policies during a surge in violence across the country and said some coverage is from an 'alternate universe'.
Psaki was speaking about a Fox News segment during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast last week when she questioned what 'soft-on-crime consequence' even means and insisted Americans care 'more about what’s happening in their lives than what’s necessarily happening in every cable news chyron'.
Comments:
The federal government should sidestep the mean coyotes and simply hire Catholic Social Services and their Lutheran counterpart to help New Americans not just go where they want after the Border Patrol welcomes them across the border, but to collect them directly from their shacks south of the border and place them onto the backs of the US taxpayers. We demand it, as a small act of contrition for our past sins as White supremacists.
