Dr. Phil says Duke University professor's
call for $14 trillion in reparations,
which would hand $350,000 to every black
American descendant of slaves, would be
an 'absolute disaster' for the nation

Dr Phil on Tuesday warned an economics professor's plan for $350,000 in reparations to 40 million descendants of slaves would be 'an absolute disaster', arguing that giving a lump sum was not the best way to help anyone. The television host on Tuesday invited on his show Duke University's William Darity, who co-authored the book 'From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century'. Darity suggested the US government issue the funds in much the same way it sent out checks to millions of Americans during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, at a cost of $14 trillion.

Former President Donald Trump believes he is the “only candidate” who can promise to “prevent World War Three,” according to excerpts of prepared remarks provided by Trump’s campaign to Breitbart News from his speech on Friday at the Lee County GOP’s Lincoln-Reagan Dinner.
Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential primary frontrunner, planned to highlight his accomplishments in the White House and criticize President Joe Biden for having the “exact opposite” record as him.
Speaking about his four years in office, Trump’s prepared remarks touted his record on the economy, border security, energy independence, and foreign policy, among other things.
On the heels of news Wednesday that an IRS whistleblower is prepared to allege political meddling in the Hunter Biden investigation, the news got worse Thursday for the First Son and his life of ruin as it was revealed that now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken was the catalyst behind the debunked and infamous October 2020 letter from former intelligence officials dismissing the surfacing of Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.
This bombshell showing more interference in the 2020 election was nowhere to be found on the Thursday night newscasts on broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC or Friday morning during ABC’s Good Morning America or NBC’s Today.
Americans in cities racked by violent crime are taking a drastic approach to protect themselves, their valuables, and their loved ones.
Armormax is an armorer that bulletproofs cars for foreign diplomats and corporate CEOs. But in an interview with the New York Post, Armormax’s Mark Burton said that the Utah-based company is fielding orders to bulletproof cars for residents of cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, and Las Vegas.
A Democratic congresswoman had a rather bizarre message for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at a congressional hearing yesterday: thank you for prioritizing female crash test dummies in vehicle safety tests.Sporting her trademark purple hair, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) thanked President Joe Biden’s top advisor on transportation matters for making “important investments to address the roadway safety crisis including that would accelerate the development of — and this is an area where I’ve written to you about — of the use of female dummies in crash testing
Former President Donald Trump will highlight the difference between the MAGA movement and the Republican establishment and tell the Lee County GOP audience, “The old Republican Party of RINOs, Neo-cons, and Globalists is GONE—and it is NEVER coming back,” according to excerpts of prepared remarks provided by Trump’s campaign to Breitbart News.
Trump will speak about how the MAGA movement “revolutionized politics and redrew the political map” when he defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Trump notes that before his 2016 victory, “Republicans were on the verge of losing this nation forever,” citing Mitt Romney’s 2012 loss
The FBI is closing in on over two dozen potential suspects who were involved in Jack Teixeira's Discord page, where he allegedly leaked security secrets.
It comes as it was revealed Teixeira, the US Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents to a small group of gamers, had been posting sensitive information months earlier than previously known and to a much larger chat group.
Only just over a quarter of Americans want Joe Biden to run again in 2024, a new poll showed on Friday, citing concerns over his age.
The 80-year-old commander-in-chief is expected to announce his bid for a second term on Tuesday.
It means he would be 86 by the time he leaves office if he were to win re-election next year. And just 47% of registered Democrats they want him to run, up from 37% who backed Biden's candidacy in January.
Florida Congressman Byron Donalds went on CNN Thursday to make the case for why President Donald Trump deserves to be the Republican Party’s nominee in 2024.
“Our nominee’s gotta hit the ground running on day one and be able to say to the world that American leadership is back. We’re not going to have our country and sovereignties taken advantage of. We actually want to have global security and global trade and frankly global harmony,” said Donalds.
Legal expert Mike Davis has voiced concern over the alleged cover-up of Hunter Biden’s wrongdoing by the Biden Justice Department, stating that if the reports are accurate, the situation could lead to big problems for Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden Justice Department.
The whistleblower, represented by a lawyer who sent a letter to Congress, has claimed that a “high-profile, controversial” case managed by the DOJ, believed to be the investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged failure to pay taxes, faced “clear conflicts of interest.” The whistleblower also claimed to have information that contradicted the sworn testimony of a “senior” Biden administration official, who has been identified as Merrick Garland.

The State Department refused to comment on whether Secretary of State Antony Blinken disputed Republicans’ assertions that as a senior adviser to the 2020 Biden presidential campaign he was involved in recruiting former intelligence officials in an effort to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the election.
When asked specifically if Blinken disputed the accuracy of the assertions and if he planned to comply with Republican lawmakers’ request for more information, State Department Deputy Press Secretary Vedant Patel responded, “That is not a State Department issue, so I don’t have a comment for you on that.”
When asked who would be able to comment on it,
The White House amped up its attacks on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's budget Friday as it moves toward a floor vote – calling it a risk to health and environmental programs and would 'poison the lungs of our children.'
It was just the latest attack on an emerging budget document set to get a key House vote next week, amid a standoff over raising the nation's $31 trillion debt limit and House Republicans' demands for cuts.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the plan put forward by the House Budget Committee amounted to 'holding our economy hostage' that she said would 'kill jobs, fill our cities with smog,
President Trump is speaking now at the Lee County GOP Dinner in Fort Myers, Florida as he holds a massive lead over likely presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
A new poll from Florida shows that President Trump has a 15-point lead over Governor Ron DeSantis in a head-to-head matchup! “I guess that Ron DeSantis is not quite as popular in Florida as people thought,” said President Trump in a statement sharing Victory Polling’s new survey.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is talking up his own ability to land a winning argument and even take down Donald Trump in the race for the White House.
Christie, who earlier this week leveled a 'porn star' attack on Trump while arguing Ron DeSantis wasn't conservative enough, made the comments on a trip to New Hampshire, a state central to his failed 2016 presidential campaign.
Christie, known as a political brawler, got asked whether other members of the Republican field were not 'physical enough' or lacked the 'aggressiveness' to take Trump down, on a day when he led the field in another new poll.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claimed today that men in women’s sports is an issue ‘that doesn’t exist.’
He said this after House Republicans passed a bill to protect girls and women in sports with zero votes from Democrats.
The whole country is talking about this issue. For Jeffries to claim that it doesn’t exist is a blatant lie.The Daily Wire reports:
Top House Democrat Says Men In Women’s Sports Is An Issue That ‘Doesn’t Exist’

Anheuser-Busch Thinks We’re Idiots

The brewer thinks pictures of horses and a reminder of 9/11 will make its alienated customers forget that the company holds them in contempt. Nope. After Anheuser-Busch realized their poor marketing decision in “partnering” with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney—a decision that evaporated some $6 billion in market capitalization in a matter of days—the company moved quickly in an attempt to regain the audience it had lost.
According to bombshell new testimony, former acting CIA director Mike Morell says that he was told by the Biden campaign to squash the Hunter Biden laptop story in October of 2020.
With pressure from the Biden, Morrell then orchestrated the infamous letter from “50 intel agencies” claiming that the story was nothing more than “Russian disinformation”.Here’s the bombshell story from the NY Post:
Joe Biden’s presidential campaign prompted former acting CIA director Mike Morell to “help Biden” by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 falsely claiming that damning emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop published by The Post were Russian disinformation.
President Biden signed an executive order on Friday directing all federal agencies to make it their “mission” to work toward “environmental justice for all.”
The order, which comes one day before Earth Day, also creates a White House Office of Environmental Justice. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines environmental justice as “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies.”
The order aims to “better protect overburdened communities from pollution and environmental harms.” It claims that “racism is a fundamental driver of environmental injustice,”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday said House Republicans want to fill cities with smog and give asthma to children.
Karine Jean-Pierre trashed Republicans ahead of Joe Biden’s announcement to sign an executive order on ‘environmental justice.’
The affirmative action White House spox claimed House Speaker McCarthy’s plan will poison children and literally melt bones.
In today’s target-rich environment of left-wing idiocy, Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who, in my “humble” opinion, is in a statistical dead heat with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for the most worthless member of the Biden administration — and the Biden bench is damn deep.
When Pete’s not on an extended vacation or jetting around the country in a taxpayer-funded jet, the ultracrepidarian extraordinaire (look it up; you know a lot of these people) is generally calling someone, someplace, or something “racist.” Let’s just say the guy gives race hustlers Al Sharpton and MSNBC’s Joy Reid a run for their race-baiting money.
Well, this is disappointing news. The Washington Post reported Thursday that “the national Democratic Party has said it will support Biden’s reelection, and it has no plans to sponsor primary debates.” It’s understandable: the Dems have a president, of sorts, and so they’re counting on the power of incumbency to help their superannuated kleptocrat get over the top again. However, it’s also immensely disappointing, because after years and years of Democratic presidential debates being dreary displays of candidates trying to out-socialist one another, 2024 Democratic primary debates would have actually had something to offer.
In findings that will shock no one living in the real world, reviews of evidence in several European countries reportedly found that transgender treatments and surgeries don’t actually solve mental health issues as predicted. Many young people are talked into “gender transitions” because they are told that this is the best or only way to prevent suicide. But the evidence simply isn’t there to back up such a claim.
A review published on April 14 for Current Sexual Health Reports acknowledged the fact that hacking off body parts and halting normal puberty development doesn’t create the utopian joy LGBTQ that activists anticipate. The review explains under “Recent Findings”:
Though it is finally cooling, lingering effects are still seen with the cultural furor surrounding the beer brand Bud Light.In 2020, amid the Black Lives Matter upheaval seen across the country, companies were bending the knee on a regular basis. Many brands and corporations came out with statements and pledges about altering their practices and evolving their corporate structures, with "diversity" being thrown about in their mea culpa. Of course, lost in these self-congratulatory announcements was the unspoken admission they did not realize they were making: If you are promising to no longer be "racist," that means you are stating you had previously been a racist company.
Dozens of Democrats in the House and Senate introduced legislation this week that would make it harder to hold illegal aliens in custody if they qualify as a "vulnerable person," such as those who are gay, lesbian or transgender, who don’t speak English, or who meet other definitions of the term under the bill. The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, from Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., is aimed at setting minimum standards for detention facilities where thousands of illegal aliens are kept as they await processing.
During a portion of an interview with NPR released on Thursday, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients stated that President Joe Biden won’t negotiate over spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling with Republicans in Congress like Biden did when he was part of the Obama administration in 2011 because “brinksmanship” “had major impacts on the economy, on families across the country. And we’re not doing that again.”
While speaking on “All Things Considered,” NPR White House Correspondent Asma Khalid stated, “I asked Jeff Zients, the White House Chief of Staff, why have you all been so unwilling to negotiate here?
