Seattle—Africatown Community Land Trust and Community Roots Housing held a groundbreaking celebration Saturday for the Africatown Plaza project, complete with performances, libations, singing of the Black national anthem and remarks from speakers. Community members recounted the history of the land near 23rd and East Spring Street, recognized the significance of reclaiming the space, and pledged to continue working toward restoring affordable residential and commercial space in Seattle's Central District. The Africatown Community Land Trust works to acquire and develop land for the Black/African diaspora community to live, own businesses and work in the Central District affordably and supports other efforts to retain and develop land.

Talk about fickle. First they wanted integration, then they complained about being kept down. So now they want to self-segregate, which is fine, except it's got to be subsidized by the White people they openly despise, so they can dance free and make music in the sun.

Oh boy! Sounds like a boondoggle to me, watch the good people that want to make this work be overrun by undesirables. Antifa & blm will show their real agenda and make sure this fails.

This project will turn out to be a criminal enterprise and base of operation and further destroy the American social fabric. Inner city poor Blacks will suffer the most. And besides, we already have and have had Africatowns galore and look at how they’ve turned out - Detroit, NYC, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Baltimore to name a few.

Nobody will go there if they're in fear of getting mugged or murdered by the ferals. Modern plazas tend to end up as barren wastelands that are only missing the cacti and tumbleweeds.

In the early seventies this was tried in the community I grew up in. It was given some stupid sounding name like this dumb sounding title. It didn't take long before the place was destroyed today it bulldozed and a large vacant lot. Blacks are not made to live indoors the dark streets are their homes. There are always guilty whites who promote these money losing schemes. Segregate all they want but whites end up paying the tab. MAGA

Chris Cuomo isn’t backing down in his battle with CNN following the ouster of his boss Jeff Zucker—the anchor intends to demand as much as a $60 million settlement, according to sources. Multiple sources tell Page Six that Cuomo, who was fired in December for helping his brother fend off sexual harassment allegations, is ready to dig his heels in by claiming that Zucker not only knew about his dealings with the governor—but that the network boss had his own inappropriate dealings with Andrew. And he is prepared to demand not the $18 million left on his contract, but as much as $60 million.

Hunter Biden tried to strike an exceedingly lucrative, “forever” business deal with a state-owned Chinese energy company that’s since been sanctioned by the US over its ties to the Chinese military, according to the latest emails unearthed from his infamous laptop. The plan would have apparently also involved the then-prime minister of Kazakhstan, who was arrested on suspicion of treason last month following his ouster as head of the country’s intelligence service. The emails date to April 2014, when Biden’s dad, President Joe Biden, was vice president and about a year before father and son apparently posed for a photo with the Kazakhstani official, Karim Massimov,

Johnson & Johnson stopped production of its single-shot COVID-19 vaccine at the only plant making usable doses late last year, according to a report Tuesday. The stoppage at the plant in the Netherlands is temporary—with production of the vaccine expected to resume sometime in March, the New York Times reported, citing sources close to the matter. While it’s unclear if the shutdown that began late last year has had an impact on vaccine availability, it could slash Johnson & Johnson’s supply by a few hundred million doses, one source told the newspaper. Other facilities have been tasked to produce the J&J vaccine, but they either still await regulatory

It's a loss that no mother should have to endure—but Rosheda Murray has suffered it several times over. Rosheda's 18-year-old son Rodrick Burden was gunned down in a Baltimore street in March 2012 as he headed to the store to buy medication for a toothache. Almost a decade later the bullet-riddled body of his twin brother Romar Burden, 26, was found stripped of belongings and dumped in a gutter. To this day their killers have never been caught. So when mother-of-five Rosheda hears Fox News host Tucker Carlson comparing her home city to violence-plagued Haiti, she wipes her tears away and nods in agreement.

Pfizer is the leading manufacturer of Covid vaccines in America, and has recently began to rollout to rollout what many believe to be the most effective antiviral pill available to treat the virus as well. The rollout of both has already led to a substantial financial windfall for the New York City-based company, and the prospect on enhanced distribution of Paxlovid, the potential rollout of Omicron-tailored vaccines and more booster shots in the future will lead to an influx of even more cash. On Tuesday, the company revealed its Q4 earnings and revenue projections for 2022. The company estimates to rake in up to $102 billion in sales

President Biden’s plan to make combatting climate change a “whole of government agenda” resulted in Americans shelling out more than $1,000 extra in energy costs last year, according to a new report by conservative think tank Heartland Institute. Mr. Biden’s climate change policies coupled with rising inflation contributed to the highest single-year increase in energy costs in decades, found the analysis by the Heartland Institute. “Rapidly rising energy prices are no accident, but instead the predictable result of Joe Biden’s war on energy,” said James Taylor, the president of the Heartland Institute.(Snip)The impact was most felt on families when it came to the cost of heating their homes.

The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."
