The Reverend Jesse Jackson got in on the Sesame Place shakedown over the alleged snubbing of black children by the park’s characters, calling for big changes in a letter to the company’s CEO including hiring more black executives, setting aside money for African American businesses and conducting cultural sensitivity training. In his letter to CEO Marc Swanson of SeaWorld which is the parent company for the Philadelphia-based theme park, the 80-year-old civil rights activist, political gadfly and former Democrat presidential candidate criticized the company for not “providing solutions” to remove the stain of racism, providing a list of his own suggestions

Baby mama referenced these little girls as “beautiful Black children.” Not just “children.” Nor just “beautiful children.” But she had to insert “beautiful BLACK children.” Right away, she assumed racism with that statement. That is really getting old. How does “beautiful White children” come across to you?

Avenatti tried the same sort of shakedown on Nike, and is in prison for it. His mistake was not asking Jackson and Sharpton to partner with him. Had Avenatti done so, he would not have been charged.

Proof of any racism taking place is almost impossible to prove. Just because your kid didn't get attention from one of these people dressed in a costume isn't proof of racism. Anyone who's been to Disney World knows that when a character shows up, it's a mob scene around that character. The people in those costumes for the most part can't see anything except straight ahead. It's why there is always at least one other park employee with the person dressed as a character. They are there to guide the person in the suit. I'm guessing in the case of the Sesame character, they focused on the first kids they saw, and that's it. Look at the video. The characters appear to be in some sort of parade which means they are moving all the time. The ability to stop and interact with anyone for any length of time is extremely limited. I suspect the family of these kids were on high alert looking for any sign of racism at every turn, and when their kids didn't get the attention they feel their kids deserved, the racism flag was raised.

Jessah must be burning through his ill-gotten fortune more quickly during this recession.Time to get out there and do some more shaking-down. Sorry, Jessah, but Disney is more likely to begin laying off rather than hiring. The black folks causing all of this trouble at all theme parks must be running out of stimulus money by now.

You really have to wonder who ran against some of these morons in political office sometimes. Honestly, was the alternative to someone like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being forced to step on a rusty nail? Was Eric Swalwell’s opponent a literal cannibal promising to consume children if elected? If you set out to elect some of the dumbest creatures to ever walk upright on the planet, you couldn’t do much better than what Democrats currently have serving in Congress and the White House. Why? There is no good answer, at least one that covers everyone. There are, after all, a lot of really dumb Democrats in office.
'Dystopian Myths': Paul Krugman Shames

Economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said it's wrong for Americans to believe widespread BLM riots occurred in 2020, calling it one of the many "dystopian myths" in the nation. Krugman even went as far as to say the destruction in New York City "never happened." "Well, first of all, there’s the specific issue of the whole Black Lives Matter demonstrations, which a large part of the country, certainly a lot of the mail I get, people think that you know, lots of Manhattan was burned to the ground," Krugman told CNN's Brian Stelter on Sunday.

As I recall, it was then-governor Jimmy Carter who used the misery index against President Gerald Ford in 1976. It was inflation plus unemployment equals the misery index. It was thrown back at President Carter in 1980 and had a lot to do with Ronald Reagan becoming the 40th president and bringing a lot of GOP senators with him. The misery index is back, and it will hurt the Democrats, according to Bloomberg: A new study by Bloomberg Economics takes one gauge with a knack of predicting ballot outcomes — the misery index, calculated by adding up the inflation and unemployment rates — and projects it forward through election day.

For those too young to remember, it was thirty years ago this month that the DOJ entrapped Randy Weaver for his Christian beliefs, issued a death warrant, killed his dog, son, and wife, and shot Weaver and his friend. Surely, the DOJ doesn’t just execute innocent people. Yet, as we learned at trial: He had no propensity to commit crimes. Never even had a traffic ticket. Never been charged with a crime of any kind and honorably served his country. While living in Iowa, Weaver learned it was illegal to homeschool his children independently, so he moved his family to a cabin in remote Idaho, Ruby Ridge.

Living during the national freefall precipitated by Biden's tyrannical policies, it’s beneficial to ponder how both the United States, and world, might be different if Donald J. Trump had taken the oath of office as president on January, 20, 2021, instead of Joseph Rube-inette Biden. Energy There would be no Green Agenda executive orders. No cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, where thousands of workers with high-paying jobs would ensure the flow of 700,000 barrels a day to the American market. There would be no freeze on new oil and gas leases. The ANWR project in Alaska, would have progressed instead of stalled.

Samuel Sandoval, one of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers from World War II, died at the age of 98. Sandoval, born in 1922 in Nageezi, New Mexico, passed away late Friday at a hospital in Shiprock, the Associated Press (AP) reported. The hundreds of Navajo Code Talkers of the U.S. Marine Corps were instrumental in winning the Pacific Theater, as they were used in major Marine assaults against the Japanese in World War II. The Code Talkers would communicate messages using the unwritten Navajo language on enemy military movement, confusing the Japanese attempting to crack their code. Sandoval, who enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1943, was serving in the battle of Okinawa

Open borders activists are balking at red states taking immigration enforcement into their own hands by busing border crossers and illegal aliens to blue states and cities like New York and Washington, DC. In April, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced that state officials would begin chartering buses to transport border crossers and illegal aliens to Washington, DC, and other cities. As a result, Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking President Joe Biden to deploy the National Guard after she said about 4,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in the region over the last few weeks. Illegal immigration to D.C., Bowser said, is at a “tipping point.”

An elderly convenience store owner in California is being hailed as a hero after he shot at a would-be robber who ran out of the store screaming his arm was “shot off.” Shocking surveillance footage from Norco Market & Liquor at the 2800 block of Clark Avenue in Norco, Calif., showed a masked assailant entering the business at about 2:47 a.m. with an AR-15-style rifle pointed at the 80-year-old store owner. The suspect yelled, “Freeze, hands in the air,” but within seconds, the quick-thinking store owner pulled out his own rifle from under the counter and immediately shot once at the robber, hitting him in the arm.

Why have Democrats taken to calling everything what it’s not? The word games from “woman” to “recession” are bad enough, but Sens. Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer now offer an “Inflation Reduction Act” that doesn’t actually reduce inflation. Oh, if it works out as they claim, the Penn-Wharton Budget Model indicates it might do a little inflation-reducing in a decade, but would actually goose it a bit first. The White House’s favorite experts, Moody Analytics, read the bill as lowering the Consumer Price Index by a third of a percentage point — by 2031. That really shouldn’t surprise, since this wasn’t remotely written to combat inflation.

NEW ORLEANS — A former Louisiana Democratic Party leader who resigned from the state Senate earlier this year, citing depression and a gambling addiction, pleaded guilty Monday to a federal wire fraud charge. Former Sen. Karen Carter Peterson entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance, court records show. Documents filed Monday outlined a scheme in which she diverted more than $94,000 in campaign funds for personal use, including for casino gambling. Prosecutors said she also arranged for another $53,000 in state Democratic Party funds to be kicked back to her by associates she arranged to be hired by the party, who remained unidentified as of Monday.

During the segment, Goldberg made arguments suggesting that God is fine with abortion.

Goldberg also argued that Jesus Christ's teaching of, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," obliged her to not speak out against abortion lest she risk judging others.

It honestly didn’t take long after Joe Biden became President for shipping containers to start piling up and causing backlog and supply chain issues across the country. The estimated cost is being passed on to Americans causing the price of goods and services to increase 4.5 times more than what they had been paying at the end of 2020. The cost of exporting goods has also skyrocketed. (Tweet)

The hellfire missiles that are said to have taken out Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, but not his family, are a newer generation of missiles that are high on precision and devoid of explosives. The AGM 14 R9X missile, made by Lockheed Martin, can be fired from, in Zawahiri’s case, a Reaper drone as well as other platforms. It can be fired from 600 miles away. Because its payload is tungsten and not packed explosives, this version of the hellfire doesn’t have the accompanying explosion– unless it hits, for instance, a full gas tank in a car. The R9X is called a Ninja because of the six blades deployed during flight
