Reparations for Slavery, After All
Posted By: Beardo, 5/14/2023 11:55:41 AM
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) now says he is open to the idea of cash reparations for slavery, after he indicated several days ago he was opposed to the idea, which was recommended by his own task force on the issue. (snip) Now, however, after a predictable media storm and backlash from the black activists whose hopes he had raised with the reparations task force, Newsom is moving back in the opposite direction.

The report of Special Counsel John H. Durham into the origins of the “Russia collusion” investigation refutes the claims of an earlier Inspector General’s report that Democrats cited to defend the FBI and the probe itself.
In late 2019, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released the report of his investigation into the FBI’s “Russia collusion” probe. While Horowitz found there had been “serious performance failures,” he found no evidence of “intentional misconduct.” More broadly, he found that while the conduct of the probe — including fraudulent warrant applications — had been wrong, the investigation was opened for good reasons.
Miller Lite is under fire after a March ad campaign caught renewed attention for its overtly feminist tone — which is now reigniting the outrage that ensued after Bud Light appeared to collaborate with (a) biological man who believes he is a woman — as companies continue to embrace the radical woke agenda.
The “Bad $#!T to Good $#!T” campaign, ostensibly debuted in March for women’s month, attempts to right apparent wrongs for women in the beer industry.

California's reparations task force is calling for the state legislature to require all cities and counties with allegedly segregated neighborhoods to submit all their real estate ordinances to a state agency for approval based on whether they maintain or lessen "residential racial segregation." (snip) The recommendations include several proposals meant to address "housing segregation" and "unjust property takings" that contributed to alleged systemic racism against Black Californians. Among the most controversial of the housing proposals is one that would seemingly hand over control of local land use decisions to a state agency that would approve ordinances based on whether they maintain or decrease segregation.
D.C. House Democrat Delegate Eleanor Holmes is asking the U.S. Botanic Garden, on the grounds of Capitol Hill, to include marijuana – to showcase the plants' "impact" on the U.S. economy.
After the Botanic Garden displayed hemp for its first time, Norton sent a letter to Executive Director Susan Pell, saying she liked the facility's hemp display and enquired about also having a marijuana one, too.

A Florida couple has had their wedding upended after an Orange County hotel — set to take in migrants from New York City — abruptly canceled the rooms she booked for her guests, she told The Post.
“We felt discarded, disappointed and angry that they just tossed us aside to make an extra dollar for the hotel. It’s just not right,” Deanna Mifsud, 35, fumed.
Mifsud and Gary Moretti, 37, are both originally from New York, and plan to marry June 24 at Lippincott Manor in upstate Walkill, with 160 guests from throughout the country expected to attend, she said.
Seven-time WNBA All-Star Britney Griner returned to game action on Friday for the first time since being arrested in February 2022 at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport after authorities discovered vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage. (snip) "Hearing the national anthem, it definitely hit different," Griner said. (snip) In July 2020, as social justice protests were occurring around the country, Griner said she didn't feel that the anthem should be played during the season, adding that she didn't mean any "disrespect to our country."
If you are a pro-life mom, you may be a domestic terrorist.
That’s according to the Biden Administration.
New documents uncovered by America First Legal shows the Department of Homeland Security considers middle-aged pro-life moms to be potential domestic terror threats.
“This is Ann, a resident of Elkville in rural America,” one profile reads. “Ann has always been religious but since the death of her mother, she’s become increasingly devout. She’s a regular in the small-town community, active in several church groups. While she has always been protective of her four kids, she has become increasingly more concerned about the welfare of other children including the unborn.”
I loved reading this study. I truly did.
I loved it despite the fact that the authors themselves didn’t understand the meaning of their research. (snip) this Yale study from a few years back (snip) demonstrated that white liberals literally use smaller words when talking to nonwhite people, while conservatives do not. (snip)
The Yale writeup of the study is a perfect example of how clueless liberals are, and how blind to reason academics are so often. (snip) The assumption is that White liberals are not biased against Black people, while their research shows exactly the opposite as we shall see.
California officials are preparing to pay out $1.4 million to four churches after attempting to force them to provide abortion health care coverage for their employees, according to a press release.
Skyline Wesleyan Church, located in the San Diego area, Foothill Church in Glendora, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Chino, and The Shepherd of the Hills Church filed two separate lawsuits with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) in 2015 and 2016 after the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) sent emails to insurance providers in the state, mandating that their coverage include abortion services. Federal courts ruled in both cases that the state’s mandate violated the First Amendment

In January 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom gloated over his financial prowess in a tweet:
Gavin Newsom
@GavinNewsom: With a surplus of over $45.7 BILLION -- California is a model for the nation on how we can confront our greatest existential threats and make historic investments in our future.
We can lead with science and still have a successful economy.
10:39 AM · Jan 10, 2022.
That tweet hasn’t aged well, to put it mildly.
On Friday, the exquisitely coiffed governor announced that not only had the surplus evaporated, but the state was actually running at a $32 billion deficit—$10 billion more than he had predicted in January. Oops.
Dear Friends, it gives me great joy to be able to address a brief message to you on the occasion of the establishment of the International Movement of Russophiles. (snip) But this friendship, these relations of concord and mutual cooperation, cannot disregard the denunciation of the coup d’état perpetrated against humanity by dangerous subversives whose declared purpose is the establishment of an infernal tyranny, in which hatred of God as well as hatred of man created in His image, as well as illness, death, ignorance, poverty, violence, selfishness, and corruption reign supreme. It is the kingdom of the Antichrist.

Special Counsel John Durham found that the FBI did not have enough 'factual evidence' to investigate allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, in scathing report obtained by DailyMail.com Monday.
Durham's report is a summary of findings related to whether the then-Trump campaign in 2016 colluded with Russia to meddle with the election outcome.
The special counsel transmitted the report on his four-years-long investigation costing over $6 million in taxpayer dollars, to top members of Congress including Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin and Ranking Member Lindsey Graham, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Ranking Member Jerry Nadler.
Major automakers are removing AM radios from their new models in a move that heralds the end of an era, sparking outrage from listeners, station owners, and politicians alike who lament the potential loss of an iconic part of American culture and criticize the move as “tone deaf.” Mark Levin commented on the change, saying: “The automobile is essential to liberty. It’s freedom. So the control of the automobile is about the control of your freedom. They finally figured out how to attack conservative talk radio.”
The Washington Post reports that in a move that marks the end of an era, major automakers are disconnecting AM radios from their new models.

Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy took a hard left turn into insurrectionism on Sunday. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Murphy declared that if the Supreme Court continued to recognize the Second Amendment as a fundamental Constitutional right, then, you know, there might be a “popular revolt.”According to Murphy, the Supreme Court is illegitimate, district court judges enforcing Supreme Court decisions are just awful people, and unless the Supreme Court backs off and lets fascists at all levels of government do their thing, some bad sh** might happen.
The video is cued to the transcript segment.
Residents of California have been leaving the state in droves over the last few years due to radical policies and high prices governing the state. Many former residents have been settling in more politically red states, such as Florida and Texas, which have seen immense population growth. California is the home of Hollywood, the center of the film industry. Actor Dennis Quaid explained to "Jesse Watters Primetime" why there is a push from actors to move the film industry out of California to Texas. "We want to make Texas the film capital of the world. That's what Texas used to
One day, America’s black citizens will realize that Democrats always make promises they will not or cannot fulfill. The latest example is the reparations folly currently playing out in California. Black Californians are beginning to realize they were watching Kabuki reparations theater.
In September 2020, right before the big election, the California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3121, setting up a “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans” (snip) Despite the task force only being advisory, blacks really believed that its recommendations would send money their way. (snip) Gavin Newsom announced that there would be no reparations money for any blacks.
At least six more Big Apple schools are set to start temporarily housing migrants in their gyms, prompting all hell to break loose Monday among parents frantic over safety and potential learning disruptions.
“To bus people to our school and expect the community to absorb them is just insane,” fumed Virginia Vu, a PTA member and parent at Brooklyn’s MS 577 in Williamsburg — adding some parents have already threatened to at least temporarily pull their kids out of the sixth-through-eighth grade school.
“We care about asylum-seekers, and we’re proud our city is a ‘sanctuary city’ — but housing asylum seekers on school grounds is absolutely unacceptable,” she said.
President Joe Biden cheered a drop in border crossings since the end of Title 42 with a swipe at the media – as new strains in the government's capacity to administer the surge of migrants is just beginning to come into view.
Asked how things were proceeding after the expiration of Title 42 authority, which ended at midnight, Biden told a group of reporters: 'Much better than you all expected,' with a chuckle.
He also spoke about the reduced number of crossings, which are down about 50 per cent, as migrants – and smugglers who

If you're like me, the news cycle is one smack to the face after the next. It's not even a "cycle" at this point; it feels more like crawling out of bed under relentless machine-gun fire of bad news and trying to survive the day without getting hit.
In this sense, getting "hit" is letting the bastards get you down (excuse my French). It's not easy, and it's not for the faint of heart. I look at it as a special challenge that all normal, non-woke, patriotic Americans must accept as part of living through this period of great change.
So that’s the big news after all these years—the Russia Hoax really was a hoax. As if anyone with an IQ above room temperature ever doubted it. Here’s Zerohedge’s summary of this not-so-stunning revelation:
According to Just the News, the report concludes that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened up an investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign in the summer of 2016.
Durham placed blame on the FBI and DOJ for failing to follow their own standards in a probe which should have never taken place - including the agency's surveillance of an American citizen without basis.
Florida’s governor has just cut ties with a political action committee (PAC) bearing his name. Many Floridians see this as an indication that he’s preparing to abandon Florida for a presidential run.
(anip) DeSantis severed ties with “Friends of Ron DeSantis,” a major state-level PAC “committed to advancing” the governor’s “Freedom Agenda and keeping Florida free.” (snip), the new “associated person,” is Florida State Senator Blaise Ingoglia.”
(snip) state law (pdf) prohibits the use of money raised by a state-level PAC for a race at the federal level.
Tim Sharp(snip) said, “He’s running.”
“He just wanted to make sure the revision on Resign-to-Run came through,”
At least five whistleblowers have come forward to allege wrongdoing by the Biden family in connection with business schemes and corresponding coverups.
The whistleblowers are in addition to the multitude of witnesses that Republican members of Congress have interviewed behind closed doors.
