Critical Race Theory, Prison Culture Similarities

Help Predict Where CRT Can Lead: Christopher Rufo replies
Writer, filmmaker, and researcher Christopher Rufo realized while working on a documentary that the ideology of prison gangs that leads to racial segregation in prisons holds similarities to the critical race theory (CRT) being promoted in society.
Rufo noticed that although the phenomenon of prison gangs and the development of CRT are different and disparate, by comparing the two and analyzing the outcome of gang activities in the California prison system, he would be able to draw conclusions as to where CRT could lead society.
Rufo began exploring prison culture, gang culture, and street culture for a documentary he directed for PBS called “America Lost,”
“This is where you can see what someone’s been exposed to,” says Howard Dotson, pointing to a child’s drawing of several buildings ablaze and an artillery piece pointing at them. “They came from Kyiv, where there’s bombings.” (snip) So on March 11, Dotson went overseas, traveling on the European rail lines used by refugees fleeing from Ukraine into Poland.

Tommy Robinson was filmed being detained by police at Manchester Airport just hours after he claimed he was deported from Mexico.
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, featured in video footage which showed a heated confrontation with two police officers at the airport this afternoon who say they were believed he had 'breached security'. In a Telegram message to his followers shared later today, the 39-year-old accuses one Greater Manchester Police Officer of trying to 'bait' him into a reaction so they could 'arrest him legitimately'.(Snip)After saying he is a journalist and pleading his case, he adds: 'I've never broken a law here.

A major energy supplier is giving away electric blankets to customers in a bid to help with soaring heating bills as the cost of living crisis continues to hit homes across the UK. Octopus Energy has sent out the heated blankets to thousands of its customers as it says it will will those who are struggling with rising gas and energy costs. Many households' energy bills are skyrocketing due to an increase in the price cap to almost £2,000 which went up at the start of April. The uplift in the price cap equates to an estimated £700 increase on the average annual energy bill in Britain.

The world of woke is rife with incorrect assumptions about racial minorities. First is the assumption that racial minorities are criminals.
That assumption is wrong. It’s true that a disproportionate amount of crime – especially the violent kind – is committed by racial minorities. That’s true even after normalizing the numbers for the increased poverty level of minorities. I suspect this is due to a familial breakdown caused by many complicated factors.
But it’s certainly not true that minorities are all, or even generally, criminals. To the contrary, the great majority of minorities are law-abiding citizens.
Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley has written that a special counsel must be appointed to investigate the Hunter Biden case because President Joe Biden has denied any wrongdoing by his son, and has taken steps to influence investigations.This past week, the Washington Post and CNN joined the New York Times in admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop, which was revealed in October 2020 and suggested that he made money from peddling access to his father, was indeed authentic.The admissions came nearly a year and-a-half after media organizations joined the Democratic Party and former intelligence officials
Disney has released what has been described as the “gayest kid’s movie yet,” as it continues to pay fealty to radical queer activists with its attacks on Florida’s anti-grooming law that gives parents a say in their children’s education.This month, Disney+ released a musical comedy aimed at pre-teens titled Better Nate Than Ever. The movie features 13-year-old Nate (Rueby Wood) who is upset about losing the audition for his high school musical and who goes on a trip to New York City with dreams of winning a part in a Broadway play.

It’s becoming a bit of a mystery how Kamala Harris even passed the bar exam, let alone became Vice President of the United States.Kamala was recently asked about Biden’s remark — which he subsequently denied ever making — that Russian president Vladimir Putin should not ‘remain in power.’ Try to endure the whole thing. Watch:*Video) “Both yourself and the president were in the region recently,” Reid noted. “And when the president was there he gave a speech in Warsaw that was well received by many,” she claimed.
Biden is as dangerous for the US military as he is for the American public.** In 2021 Joe Biden abandoned US bases in Afghanistan and armed the Taliban with $80 billion in US military equipment.** 13 US military men and women were slaughtered by an Islamic terrorist Joe Biden let out of the prison at Bagram Air Base.

Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was fined last week by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) for paying for the fraudulent “Russia dossier” — but NBC’s Chuck Todd failed to ask her about it on Sunday morning.As Breitbart News reported last week: Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the Democrat National Committee were fined on Tuesday $113,000 by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for hiding their spending on the fraudulent Russia “dossier.” Hillary’s campaign and DNC allegedly reported payments to Democrat law firm Perkins Coie as legal expenses instead of earmarking them accurately as “paying Fusion GPS through Perkins Coie to conduct opposition research
Poll: Majority of Americans Approve of

Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Law,
Including 55% of Democrats replies
The majority of Americans approve of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law — misreported by the left-wing media and activists as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — according to a poll publicized by the Editorial Board at the Wall Street Journal.
That includes 55 percent of Democrats and 53 percent Americans who voted for Joe Biden. The bill that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law, which does mention “gay” in its text, prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in Florida public schools in kindergarten through third grade. “When Americans are presented with the actual language of the new Florida law, it wins support by more than a two-to-one margin,”
Julio recently reported on Johnathan Perkins, the director for Race and Equity at the University of California-Los Angeles, who, in a series of tweets, ranted against Justice Clarence Thomas, even tweeting "he can go" and he "can choke." Perkins also questioned whether Thomas was as sick as was reported before doubling down on his death wish. The rating thread remains up. As Mia Cathell covered for The Post Millennial, though, there's even more when it comes to Perkins' questionable past on racial issues. Cathell details quite the dramatic incident of Perkins fabricating a story of police misconduct from 2011 when he was a student
Another seance with the ghost of Cardinal Richelieu explains Putin’s objectives in Ukraine: Russia will ruin and depopulate Ukraine, the way Richelieu reduced large parts of Germany to cannibalism during the Thirty Years War. Shortly after I conjured the spirit of Europe’s greatest (and nastiest) strategist, the Telegram channel of Russia’s most fanatic nationalist, Aleksandr Dugin, featured the item below: NATO says the military phase of the conflict in Ukraine is far from over. Of course, no one will let Zelensky make peace.
Ukraine is not a subject, but an object, where the Zelensky regime is not an actor, but a tool.

Presidents are entitled to nominate Supreme Court justices who represent their party and its values. Using that as our guide, President Joe Biden picked the Democrats’ perfect Supreme Court justice: Ketanji Brown Jackson.
If you’d given me a thousand bucks to come up with a question that would stump a Supreme Court nominee, I never would have thought of: What’s a woman?

“On average, Judge Jackson gave child porn defendants sentences more than five years below the minimum under the guidelines.”
As Sens. Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham amply demonstrated at the nomination hearings last week, Judge Jackson really likes defendants in child pornography cases.
President Biden delivered remarks at the USS Delaware Commemoration Ceremony in Wilmington on Saturday, where he said he was “deeply proud” of the work former “vice president” Jill Biden is doing.
Biden didn’t even correct himself when he made the striking gaffe.
“I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as first lady with Joining Forces Initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was vice president and now carries on,” the president said without missing a beat.
“We absolutely stand by the president’s comment.” With those words, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield reaffirmed that President Biden maintains his son Hunter Biden did “nothing [that] was unethical” and never “made money” in China.
Those claims appear demonstrably false — and they make the positions of both the media and Attorney General Merrick Garland absolutely untenable.
For the media, the ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden by U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware has presented a growing danger of self-indictment over its prior coverage (or noncoverage). Weiss has called a long line of witnesses before a grand jury, and there is growing expectation of criminal charges against Hunter Biden.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan attacked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a fellow Republican, on Sunday over the Sunshine State's new law placing limits on discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. Hogan dismissed the Parental Rights in Education bill—dubbed the 'Don't Say Gay' bill by critics—as 'absurd' and criticized DeSantis for getting into a public spat with the Walt Disney Company over the matter. 'I didn't really actually see the details of the legislation, but the whole thing seems like just a crazy fight,' Hogan told CNN's State of the Union.(Snip)'It concerns me that DeSantis is always talking about, you know, he was not
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a Republican, called Donald Trump '****ing crazy' at the white-tie Gridiron Dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday. Sununu was the GOP rep for the evening, giving remarks where he railed against the former president–even as some within the party say Trump is the best hope for congressional Republicans winning back a majority in 2022 and back the White House in 2024. 'You know, he's probably going to be the next president,' Sununu said of Trump, before going on to sarcastically comment on the ex-president's 'experience' and 'sense of integrity.' 'Nah, I'm just kidding!' Sununu broke out and was met with laughter
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson doled out a lenient sentence to a child rapist for violating probation—and he allegedly struck again during the time when prosecutors wanted him locked up, The Post has learned. The Biden nominee’s handling of sex offender Leo Weekes’ case emerged in a tranche of court filings and transcripts sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee Friday—just days before the panel is set to vote on whether to report her nomination to the full Senate. While Republicans have previously highlighted Jackson’s practice of giving the lightest possible punishments in child pornography cases, the Weekes case throws into question her treatment of rapists, as well.

Lonny Koons, a Republican who was a primary challenger to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) for the 21st Congressional District of New York dropped out after allegations of illegally filling petition sheets.
Parked at a Walmart on March 24, Koons, a trucker and veteran who was allegedly anti-Trump, was video recorded in his car signing petitions for himself, unaware that he was being recorded.
GOP candidates needed at least 1,250 signatures to be seen on the ballot by April 4. According to election laws, all the petition signatures appearing on the ballot should have original marks from the signers themselves.
President Biden is confident that his son, Hunter Biden, didn’t break the law or cross any ethical lines as investigations into his overseas dealings continue, White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Sunday.
The longtime Biden adviser appeared on ABC's "This Week" to address multiple crises the Biden administration is facing, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to rising gas prices and the scandals swirling around Hunter Biden.

says White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain replies
Only former President Donald Trump—and the disgraced Richard Nixon—would think of meddling in potential prosecutions, President Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain said Sunday. Klein made the comparison as he denied a report that Biden said Trump should be prosecuted for inciting the Jan. 6, 2020 siege of the U.S. Capitol. “I’ve never heard the president say that—advocate the prosecution of any person,” Klain told ABC’s “This Week.” “Only Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, in the modern era, believed that prosecution decisions should be made in the Oval Office, not at the Justice Department,” he said.(Snip)According to The New York Times, last year Biden told
Former President Donald Trump used his latest rally this Saturday in Grand Rapids, Michigan to speak to the Republican Party’s newest constituency: parents.“A Republican Congress must stand up for parental rights,” he bluntly said.Meaning, he continued, that the GOP-led Congress expected to emerge from the midterm elections must prioritize pushing legislation on behalf of the millions of parents throughout the nation who’re concerned about their children being indoctrinated in hateful racial essentialism and radical transgender ideology.“As president, I was proud to issue the world’s first ban on critical race theory. Joe Biden rescinded that order immediately. But when we retake Congress, Republicans must ban critical race theory in our schools,
Nathan McKee doesn’t rest easy at night anymore. He often awakes when a noise or movement sets off the security light outside his bedroom window.

They realized what was going on the next morning when their car roared and rattled as they started it up to run errands.

A bombshell New York Post report and string of tweets from Jack Posobiec reveal even more reprehensibly lurid leniency from Joe Biden’s SCOTUS nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. Her record on sentencing child molesters and predators had been made known earlier by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) prior to and during her confirmation hearing, but these new details make Cotton’s work look primitive.
Here is the Post reporting the disturbing allegations (bold emphasis mine):
“In the eight child-porn cases that came before her court, former D.C. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson heard horrifying details of “sadomasochistic” torture of young kids — including “infants and toddlers” — yet challenged the disturbing evidence

The Sunday before the Masters is usually a sleepy affair at Augusta National, as the early arrivals check in and a cathedral hush settles over the place one last time before the gates open on Monday.Not this year.

Applications for concealed carry permits have soared a staggering 600 percent in Philadelphia.
Law-abiding residents are responding to the Democrat-controlled city’s skyrocketing violent crime rates by arming themselves.
The latest figures follow reports that a concealed carry permit holder shot and killed an alleged robber around lunchtime Wednesday in a Philadelphia corner store.

The bodies are strewn across the quiet tree-lined street in the town of Bucha as far as the eye can see. All 20 are in civilian clothing, and all have their different poses in death. Some lie with sightless eyes staring at Ukraine's overcast sky, some lie face down on the tarmac. Three of them are tangled up in bicycles after taking their final ride, while others, with waxy skin, have fallen next to bullet-ridden and crushed cars. One has his hands tied behind his back with a white cloth, and his Ukrainian passport left open beside his corpse, said AFP journalists who accessed the town. CORRECTION*
Journalists entering a Ukrainian town which saw fierce fighting with Russian forces have found dead bodies of men in civilian clothes strewn on a street.
An AFP news agency reporter in Bucha, near Kyiv, counted at least 20 bodies. At least one man had his hands tied.
BBC journalists in another part of Ukraine found the bodies of two civilians killed by Russian forces.
Earlier this week the BBC's Jeremy Bowen and his team counted a total of 13 bodies, some of whom may have been Ukrainian soldiers, along a stretch of road between the villages of Mria and Myla.
Russian troops near Kharkiv died after eating poisoned stuffed buns given to them as 'gifts' by Ukrainian citizens, a Ukrainian intelligence agency has claimed.Two soldiers from the 3rd Motor Rifle Division died immediately after eating the delicacies served by the citizens of Izium, a Facebook post by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine announced on Saturday. Another 28 Russian troops are in intensive care after the poisoning with several hundred others also suffering from 'severe illnesses' after drinking poisoned alcohol given to them by civilians.
Police in Sacramento say six people are dead and nine injured after a shooting in the city's downtown area early Sunday morning.
Police said they located at least 15 victims of the shooting, including six people who died. Police alerted the public on Twitter that streets in downtown Sacramento near where the shooting unfolded were closed off. One video on Twitter appeared to show people running through the street as the sound of gunfire could be heard in the background. One man, Berry Accius of Sacramento's Voice of the Youth, said he got to the scene around 2:30 a.m. and described it as "chaotic."

The Michigan Star Sports Center was packed to capacity with thousands more outside the arena.Trump got down to it right away, calling out all the harms that the Biden Administration had wrought upon the country in such a short time, starting with the record inflation and record-high gas prices — two of the most pressing issues to Americans as we go into the midterms.(Tweet/Video) Trump warned, “We’re standing up against some of the most sinister forces, entrenched interests, and vicious opponents our people have ever seen.”
It’s now common knowledge that the U.S. dollar is in danger of losing its status as the world reserve currency. This is primarily due to two factors, the first being the Federal Reserve’s inflation of the money supply, which drives price inflation. Money inflation destroys the purchasing power of the dollar, acting as a crippling tax on the poor, middle class, and retirees on fixed incomes. But the money inflation also distorts prices, and supply and demand structures and markets. This drives the boom-bust economic bubbles which blow-up into recessions. In addition, the money inflation also funds America’s destructive welfare state (which only incentivizes additional welfare),

Thank God for the Twitter account “Libs of TikTok.” Whoever the anonymous woman running that account is, she’s doing the Lord’s work when it comes to exposing the general public to the entitled brats now working as teachers in the public school system across the country.

A lot of teachers, and I mean a lot of them, need to be tossed out on their asses, and soon.

It has been unseasonably cold in Washington D.C. this spring. The blossoms on the cherry tree on my front lawn had barely bloomed when a cold snap and heavy wind-driven rain scattered the petals all over my front lawn. I stepped out front to pick up a box of herbs left there to be planted when a neighbor passed by. I don’t know him very well, but his virtue signaling was a rather good clue as to where his sympathies lay. His lawn was peppered with signs: ”Biden-Harris,” “Hate has no Home Here,” “Build Bridges not Walls,”

There is no definitive count of casualties now, but the explosion could not have come at a worse time for Russian President Vladimir Putin.In 2020, former Soviet Republics, Azerbaijan and Armenia, fought a brutal 44-day war over a disputed chunk of land with the Tolkien-esqe name of Nagorno-Karabakh.

In the war, Armenia was soundly thumped, and Russia, attempting to show its relevance, acted as the intermediary
It is one thing when China brutally suppresses dissent in Beijing. It is more troubling when it does it in Hong Kong. It is even more troubling when it sends agents to Dubai to harass and intimidate Chinese nationals in foreign countries such as the United Arab Emirates. But to harass and spy on a Chinese American U.S. citizen on U.S. soil is an altogether different matter. That is why last week’s announcement of arrests by the Department of Justice of three Chinese nationals for “stalking, harassing, and spying on U.S. residents” on behalf of China’s secret police is so alarming.

Big Tech continues to be called out for its role in interfering with the 2020 election. On Thursday, as I covered, Republican members on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter's Parag Agrawal about censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. Also on Thursday, Citizens United President David Bossie went on Fox News' "Hannity" to promote a new documentary, "Rigged: The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump." Bossie will host and narrate the film, which will premiere at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, on April 5, which is when it will also be available for download.
Parkland High alum David Hogg has not done much with his life since experiencing an admittedly horrific and unfathomable terror. Look, politics aside, what Nikolas Cruz did that day is horrendous. Full stop. I am sorry for the victims and the families of victims.
However, it’s been really hard to sympathize with some of the survivors since almost the very beginning. People process traumatic events differently, but when kid victims lecture the entire nation over Constitutional rights with which they disagree and have no historical or contextual understanding of – nor grasp basic human nature and common sense – it comes across not as processing grief and horror and rather just…self-aggrandizement.
After European nations imported the most gas from Russian sources yesterday in months, scrambling to stock up on supplies as Russian President Vladimir Putin's deadline to either pay for gas in rubles (or be cut off) came and went, Russian gas giant Gazprom has officially halted all deliveries to Europe via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, a critical artery for European energy supplies.
