Watch: From Trees to White Women, Everything
Is Racist in These PBS Documentaries

PBS receives roughly 15 percent of its $373 million operating budget from the federal government. In addition to its member stations and on-demand streaming shows, some of the money goes to Independent Lens, the weekly series through which PBS airs documentary films. They often have to do with racism. The 2022 Independent Lens flick Racist Trees, for example, chronicles a black neighborhood in the overwhelmingly liberal "LGBTQ haven" of Palm Springs, Calif. The neighborhood's residents feel that a "wall of trees" that lines a nearby golf course was "intentionally planted to exclude and segregate" the neighborhood, and want the trees removed. "They say that these trees are not racially

Um, I thought trees lining golf courses in a close neighborhood helps to keep the balls from hitting roofs and pedestrians.

White people are required to prove they aren't racists. That isn't how things are done in this country. It's the definition of unfounded paranoia.

#1 Right! They won't be happy when their houses, cars, children, pets get hit with golf balls. Of course, then they'll sue the golf course and demand that it be shut down.

#1 and #4: I think the trees would also serve as wind breaks for gusts swirling out there on the otherwise open and relatively flat links.

The only racists are the people who produce these stories. On hot summer days, the last thing any golfer wants is a golf course with no trees. Not only does the course look better, but it proves shade and makes the course a little more challenging. A wide open golf course is boring.

Unless you are talking about White Poplars, most trees are black or shades of gray. Redwoods are another exception. These people be crazy.

Golf itself is a racist sport. The LPGA has nobody in the top fifty and Tiger Woods was the lone representative golfer in the PGA but it was his Chinese half that had the golf talent.

The “racist” Palm Springs trees were Tamarisks which bordered the golf course, providing a much needed wind break. The winds can be fierce in parts of the city. On the other side of the Tamarisk wind break was a working class neighborhood that included some black families. Several years ago, well after most of the working class residents, including black people, had been priced out of the city, the left-wing, anti-white racists concocted a story that the trees had been planted to protect the white golfers from having to see the black residents bordering the golf course. Despite the resulting furor being yet another race hoax the silly Democrats that now run Palm Springs managed, with self-righteous fanfare, to remove the racist trees. PBS played its role in stoking phony racial outrage. As an aside the Tamarisk trees, native to mid-east areas such as Turkey and Syria, have proliferated in California, Nevada and Utah. They thrive in deserts and are considered invasive pests.

Laurel Williams, a resident of the low income neighborhood adjacent to the Palm Springs golf course, said that the trees planted along the edge of the course were racist. In the evening, when the desert winds are blowing through those trees, it seems they are saying, "Spook, spook." I didn't know trees could talk, but Elon Musk and Trump can do anything with their racist technology.

I can't help but think that those who put together these despicable brainwashing "documentaries" are just sitting there cheering on the recent rash of black people killing white people with little to no instigation. I'm sure no such link will ever be made, or any of these people would be held accountable, for their hateful propaganda.

A far-left pastor of a Florida United Methodist Church lit a candle wrapped in barbed wire in honor of accused MS-13 gang member and alleged wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia during his Easter Sunday service, saying the United States government “kidnapped” him. The sermon was given by Rev. Andy Oliver of Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, where he compared the El Salvadoran illegal alien to one of the criminals who were crucified alongside Jesus Christ before his Resurrection:

Vice President JD Vance and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Monday they had agreed on a “roadmap” for negotiations over a trade deal to avert looming “reciprocal” tariffs — while President Trump insisted at the White House that talks with top US trading partners were going “very well.” Little is publicly known about how negotiations with countries like Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam and the United Kingdom are actually going — with a source close to the administration also telling The Post Monday that “the spin is out of control” and that this person “can’t tell what is cope and what is optimism."

In the latest major deregulation effort by the Trump administration, the Department of Transportation has withdrawn a Biden-era highway emissions rule set to take effect in May. Without the repeal, state transportation departments would have had to measure carbon dioxide emissions on federally funded highways, set goals for emissions reduction, and send the data to federal agencies. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are going to build great, big, beautiful things again. I slashed this ridiculous climate requirement to ensure no radical political agenda gets in the way of revitalizing America’s highways,” DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said.

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.

The Trump administration reupped a $5 million reward Monday for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Yulan Adonay Archaga Carías, the alleged leader of MS-13 in Honduras. Archaga Carías, who also goes by “Porky,” directs several of the notoriously violent gang’s criminal activities, including drug trafficking, money laundering, murder and kidnappings, according to the State Department. The US government’s $5 million bounty for Archaga Carías was first offered in 2023 under the State Department’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program but is being highlighted once again as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to combat the gang, which earlier this year President Trump designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

You love to see it. Four House Democrats traveled to El Salvador to meet with wife-beater and MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Inspired by Dem Senator Van Hollen, Reps. Robert Garcia (CA), Maxwell Frost (FL), Yassamin Ansari (AZ), and Maxine Dexter (OR) traveled to El Salvador on Monday to try to facilitate the release of Abrego Garcia. However, unlike these four Democrats, Chris Van Hollen’s trip was funded by taxpayer money. Van Hollen confirmed on Sunday that hardworking American taxpayers funded his trip to El Salvador so he could meet with an alleged MS-13 gang member currently held at the CECOT prison.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's personal bag was stolen with $3,000 cash inside during a dinner outing at a Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday. Noem’s bag also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge, makeup, checks, medication, and apartment keys, a spokesperson confirmed to The Post. Security footage reviewed by the Secret Service showed a white man in a surgical mask snatching Noem’s bag before leaving the restaurant. The theft was first reported by CNN. The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments. It is not clear whether a suspect has been identified or the extent of Noem’s protective detail during Sunday’s outing.

The Conclave - where cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days. Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.
