Obama's Race-Hustling Eulogy at a Race
Hustler's Funeral

Original Article

Former President Barack Obama long ago surpassed the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton as America's most influential race hustler. The country got a reminder when Obama spoke at Jackson's funeral, even though Jackson's son urged the speakers "not to bring their politics" to the service. Obama said, "Every day you wake up to things you just didn't think were possible. Each day, we're told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others." Same old Obama. In his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, he famously declared,

Reminder: “WE ARE A SALON AND NOT A SALOON”

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.

Anybody inviting Obama, Clinton, or Biden to speak at a Jesse Jackson's funeral had to know that they would make it political. Doesn't surprise me one bit that they didn't have the decency not to do so.

It seems to me that Obama is complaining about all of the things he did while in office. He managed to set race relations back 20 years.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr discussed the Federal Communications Commission’s ongoing deregulation initiative during a policy discussion hosted by Breitbart News on Tuesday, March 10, outlining an effort he said has already removed more than a thousand regulations and reduced hundreds of pages of the agency’s rulebook as part of a broader review of federal communications rules. Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked Carr to explain the FCC’s “delete, delete, delete” initiative aimed at removing outdated regulations from the agency’s rulebook. “This is the biggest deregulatory effort in the FCC’s history,” Carr declared. “We’ve gone through the FCC Code of Federal Regulations, which is our rule book.

A Trump administration official told Breitbart News that Chinese officials have now threatened to detain Panamanian-flagged vessels in China, something that could disrupt global commerce and represents retaliation against Panama for recent developments taking control of the two ports on either end of the Panama Canal out of the hands of a Hong Kong company controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. The threat, which was relayed to the Panamanian consulate in Greece by a major Greek shipping company and reported back to the American government —

For decades, the United States poured billions into Lebanon, hoping to build a sovereign and stable ally in the Middle East. American aid was meant to strengthen the state, empower its army, and ensure that no weapons existed outside government control. Washington believed that with enough financial support, training, and diplomatic backing, Lebanon could become a functioning democracy and a reliable partner. By 2025, the latest version of this experiment was underway. Former army chief Joseph Aoun, widely viewed as aligned with the United States, was elected president. Nawaf Salam, a respected former judge of the International Court of Justice, became prime minister.

Iran could use drones to make a deadly strike on California at any time, a top US Army expert says — and we’re nowhere near ready for what could happen. Iranian forces have the technology, the ability and the motivation to launch withering drone attacks on targets in California, according to Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier who spent years using drones to hunt and kill the leaders of ISIS and other terrorist groups. Velicovich said America’s enemy is almost certainly trying to launch an attack on Californian shores with the use of drones. The FBI’s warning to local law enforcement,

The former FBI agent who ran the bureau’s warrantless spying program said this week that he personally witnessed the director and other senior officials recruiting agents based on political leanings, not qualifications, during Director James Comey’s tenure. Bassem Youssef, a retired special agent who ran the FBI’s Communications Analysis Unit from late 2004 until his retirement in late 2014, also says he warned senior officials about the potential for civil liberties abuses in the surveillance program that he oversaw, but said neither Comey nor the White House took his warnings seriously.

A Tennessee Republican congressman sparked widespread fury across social media after weighing in on last weekend’s Islamic terrorist attack in New York City, but he is not backing down one inch. As The Gateway Pundit reported, two male Islamist terrorists threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence on Saturday. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.

It’s not just New York and California: All across the nation, blue states are committing political and economic suicide by targeting millionaires with high taxes. Who will suffer most from this ideologically driven push to punish the wealthy? Wage workers and the poor. Leftist Democratic pols demanding new state tax-the-rich measures are ignoring economic reality: Wealthy residents can and do move in response to unreasonable taxes — taking jobs, revenue and even congressional representation with them. In Washington state this week, a slim Democratic majority is on the verge of passing a 9.9% income tax on millionaires.

The top Justice Department prosecutor for civil liberties and voting rights tells Just the News that her ongoing review of state voter rolls has proven tens of thousands of noncitizens made it into a position to cast ballots and that hundreds of thousands of dead or departed residents were not properly removed from state election systems. "It's really frustrating that we're being prevented from doing our job," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said Tuesday night, criticizing state election offices and federal judges who are blocking her office from her historic effort to obtain and review every state's voter roll ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

A high-stakes special election in Georgia is now headed to a runoff after no candidate secured a majority of the vote in Tuesday’s crowded race to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress. Republican Clay Fuller, a district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit who received the “complete and total endorsement” of President Donald Trump, will face Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired U.S. Army brigadier general and cattle farmer, in an April 7 runoff. The race to fill Georgia’s 14th Congressional District seat drew a crowded field of candidates from multiple parties. Because Georgia uses a jungle-primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot,

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is proposing a bill that, if passed, would make the first $75,000 of a household income tax free. If the bill -- called the Keep Your Pay Act -- passes, it would more than double the standard deduction for taxpayers. Under Booker’s proposal, which was revealed Monday, the median American family would see their taxes cut by roughly 85%. Single filers and heads of households would also receive proportional tax relief through the Keep Your Pay Act. In a video advocating his bill, Booker said in part: "The tax system, we all know this, is rigged. It’s rigged against working people and all full of things to help

Those days tested all of us—our resilience, our compassion, and our belief in one another—but we persevered. Serving in the historic East Wing was the honor of my life.

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is not helping the situation. Since the U.S.-Israeli-led operation against Tehran began, Graham has rushed to every microphone and television camera available to express his unbridled enthusiasm about the campaign. When he isn’t bragging about how much money the U.S. is going to make as a result of the conflict, he’s calling for more American intervention in countries like Cuba and Lebanon.

A top Iranian security official made a thinly veiled threat against Donald Trump’s life on Tuesday after the U.S. President warned of massive strikes against Iran if it blocked oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. ​​ "Iran doesn't fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldn't eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself,” Ali Larijani, the head of the Iranian National Security Council, posted on X. The threat came in response to Trump’s post on TruthSocial that if Iran doesn’t allow oil shipment to resume in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would hit Iran “twenty times harder” than they have been hit so far.
