Kentucky’s latest Democratic Senate candidate to challenge Senator Rand Paul, Charles Booker, released a campaign video Wednesday which features him wearing a noose. The video was an apparent attempt to highlight Senator Paul’s opposition to a 2020 bill that would have made lynching a federal hate crime. It appears that Booker wants to utilize racially charged imagery to illicit a response during the 2022 midterms. The video starts with a graphic warning and opens with a shot of a noose hanging from a tree. “The pain of our past persists to this day,” Booker says in the opening lines. “In Kentucky, like many states throughout the

Anyone think this asshat knows it wasn't Republicans who lynched blacks? That wouldn't fit the narrative, though. Imagine a Pubbie ad that showed blacks shooting it out on Michigan Avenue.

Just until recently, Kentucky had been in the hands of the Democrats since the reconstruction. (After 100 + years, the Republicans finally have a majority in the House and Senate, yet still has a Democrat Governor). All of his people (Democrats) were doin' the lynchin' back then

Booker's race baiting assertion is a lie. Senator Paul put a temporary "hold" on this proposed bill because he wanted it to be stronger. He said, "We want the bill to be stronger, We think that lynching is an awful thing that should be roundly condemned and should be universally condemned." The Senate [in 2021] unamously passed a version of the bill in a voice vote. The House in February [2020] passed an identical bill, which was renamed "The Emmett Till Antilynching Act." [This bill] has been sitting in the Senate since then. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rand-paul-holds-up-anti-lynching-bill-senate/

Maybe someone should make a civil right complaint against Booker's campaign for using racially charged scare tactics. There must be stupid liberal minorities all over the Kentucky who are triggered by the noose and are now "afraid" that Rand Paul will personally come to lynch them. Maybe they could claim that Booker was suggesting lynching was still allowed because of Rand Paul and some crazy will now lynch someone. Who knows. Stupid political stunts have consequences!

Why do today's extremely liberal/progressive Democrats need to continually look back for their campaign slogans? I presume they don't want to tell the voters what their agenda is today. #6, thanks for the update and information, which Booker should actually know.

Police: Tulsa Shooting Suspect a ‘Black

Tulsa Deputy Police Chief Eric Dalgleish said the suspect who attacked the St. Francis Hospital campus was a “black male estimated to be between 35-40 years old.” Breitbart News reported the attack occurred late Wednesday afternoon. Initial reports indicated three innocents died and that figure was later updated to four innocents were killed. The attacker was also killed via a self-inflicted gunshot wound. CBS News reported police have not identified the attacker yet, but Dalgleish believes they are close to doing so. The deputy police chief would only say the deceased suspect is a “black male” who appears to be between 35-40 years old.

The California State Senate has passed a bill that would allow schools not to report threats or attacks against employees or officials to law enforcement, despite the ongoing national shock and outrage over the Uvalde, Texas, mass school shooting. The bill, SB 1273, introduced by State Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Los Angeles), passed easily last Thursday — just two days after the Uvalde shooting, in which an 18-year-old gunman murdered 19 children and two teachers in an elementary school. The bill repeals a provision of existing law that requires that “whenever any employee of a school district or county superintendent of schools is attacked, assaulted, or physically

Where is a copy of his North Dakota birth certificate? How about a baptism certificate? I took Mr. LoCascio’s Critical Thinking class in high school in 1970 AD.

The Texas gun store where teen school shooter Salvador Ramos got an AR-15-style rifle before his rampage was previously part of an ammunition smuggling case involving the Mexican drug cartel, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In 2009, a businessman from Uvalde’s neighboring town of Eagle Pass was accused of trying to smuggle more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition into Mexico, ICE said. The firepower was purchased at Oasis Outback LLC in Uvalde — the same gun shop where Ramos got one of the rifles found inside Robb Elementary School after he massacred 21 people there last week.

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Don Lemon Tonight,” Rep.

The Uvalde public school district is no stranger to campus lockdowns. In October 2021, Mayor Don McLaughlin reported the district had been forced into lockdowns 48 times during the first few months of the school year, largely due to human smuggler pursuits near campuses. At the time, Uvalde Mayor McLaughlin joined with a commission of local government representatives of Kinney and Uvalde Counties to demand action from the Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM) regarding the growing border crisis, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported. The county and city officials detailed the consequential impact of the border crisis on local resources.

Former President Barack Obama used the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, to memorialize the death of George Floyd, even though the two tragedies have almost no relation. Indeed, Wednesday, May 25, marks the two-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, but instead of just commemorating the day on its own, the former president tied the horrific massacre in Texas, which left 19 children and two teachers dead, to Floyd’s memory. “As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under

His every utterance seems calculated to send progressives into a frenzy. He's one of the most prolific political fundraisers in America. His endorsements of other like-minded America First conservative candidates help those beneficiaries pull ahead in crowded primaries. And the worst-kept secret in American politics is that he wants to swap out his Sunshine State address for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as soon as possible. No, the politician is not Donald Trump but rather Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who lately seems bent on executing just about every page of the former president's political playbook—only with a sunnier demeanor, less offensive language and fewer of the personal antics that make Trump so polarizing.

According to the White House statement he read out from his vacation lair at Delaware's tony Rehoboth Beach: The job market is the strongest it’s been since just after World War Two. We’ve got more evidence of that today. We learned that in May the economy added another 390,000 new jobs, bringing the total since I took office to 8.7 million new jobs — an all-time record.

A $2.6 billion proposed bankruptcy settlement designed to pay thousands of victims of child sexual abuse has added pressure to an organization beset by years of declining enrollment, and the Scouts and their local councils have been cashing in on their extensive holdings, including properties where some of the abuse took place. Developers have bought up some. Preservation groups hope others can be protected and some legislators have taken notice.

The Biden Administration has reached the “you can’t fool all of the people all of the time” stage,” and the evidence shows Americans aren’t buying Biden’s excuses and blame-shifting. The latest Gallup survey from late May is headlined, “Economic Pessimism Growing in the U.S.” WASHINGTON, D.C. — Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index measured -45 in May, down from -39 in each of the previous two months. It is the lowest reading in Gallup’s trend during the coronavirus pandemic, and likely the lowest confidence has been since the tail end of the Great Recession in early 2009. . . Americans’ economic pessimism took a turn for the worse this month.
