    *** Biden traveled to Charleston where he appeared at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church, as he tries to shore up his 2024 support with black voters. While at one point, he was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters shouting 'ceasefire now,' he was also awarded with cheers when he called Trump a 'loser' and chants of 'four more years.' 'So let me be clear for those who don't seem to know: Slavery was the cause of the Civil War,' Biden said, earning applause. 'There was no negotiation about that.' Last month, Haley - the former governor of South Carolina - stepped...

    Governor Kathy Hochul of New York announced a substantial $46 million grant initiative aimed at supporting more than 1,400 households in achieving affordable homeownership. This financial aid will primarily assist low- and moderate-income families, facilitating essential home repairs, safety modifications, and replacing older manufactured homes. Additionally, the program includes providing down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of this investment in the face of rising housing costs, positioning it as a crucial step in New York’s battle against the housing crisis. This move aligns with the Governor’s ambitious $25 billion Housing Plan, which intends to create...

    President Joe Biden is aiming to use a visit to the battleground state of Wisconsin on Wednesday to spotlight a surge in federal government support for Black-owned small businesses during his White House tenure and to highlight his administration's efforts to ramp up investment in distressed communities. The Small Business Administration in the last fiscal year backed 4,700 loans valued at $1.5 billion to Black-owned businesses. Under Biden, the SBA says it has more than doubled the number and total dollar amount of loans to Black-owned small businesses. Since 2020, the share of the SBA’s loans going to minority-owned businesses...

    The FTC reached a settlement with Rite Aid over its AI-powered surveillance system that agency said lacked consumer safeguards In a complaint filed in federal court, the FTC argued that Rite Aid used AI-based facial recognition tools to identify customers who may have engaged in shoplifting or other problematic behavior. The agency said that Rite Aid failed to put in place safeguards to protect employees who were falsely accused of wrongdoing because the facial recognition technology mistakenly flagged them as matching someone previously identified as a shoplifter or other troublemaker. The FTC said the facial recognition system "generated thousands of...

    Republican presidential primary candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is facing renewed criticism just before Wednesday night’s GOP primary debate because of a June TV interview, where she said the government should not intervene if parents decide to put their children through irreversible, life-altering “transgender” surgery. “The law should stay out” of matters involving troubled teens who demand sex-related medical treatments because “parents should handle it,” Haley told CBS.

    A top official with the Department of Defense Education Activity was arrested earlier this month in an undercover human trafficking sting. Last week, Georgia law enforcement announced that 26 people had been arrested as part of a two-day undercover human trafficking sting conducted by the Coweta County Sheriff's Office. Among those arrested was 64-year-old Stephen Hovanic, chief of staff for Defense Department schools in the Americas. The agency is the federal school system for the Defense Department, operating schools for military families and Pentagon families. Hovanic is charged with pandering, a misdemeanor in Georgia. Law enforcement alleges that Hovanic tried...

    The Biden Administration is a total joke. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday actually took time to promote “transgender day of remembrance” – a completely made up thing in order to somehow make transgender people martyrs and heroes. They are not. “Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we grieve the 26 transgender Americans who were killed this year. Year after year, we see that these victims are disproportionately black women and women of color,” Karine Jean-Pierre said. More than 60% of transgender murder victims are sex workers. What about the more than 70,000 Americans who die of fentanyl...

    The Biden administration announced Wednesday it would establish a national strategy to counter Islamophobia just one day after a poll showed Arab-American support for the president and his fellow Democrats was tanking. The announcement also comes a day after FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee that despite being just 2.4% of the American public, attacks on Jewish-Americans accounted for "something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes." "We look forward to continuing our work with community leaders, advocates, members of Congress, and more to develop the strategy – which will be a joint effort led...

    I like Drew Barrymore and have enjoyed her movies a lot from time to time. I don’t know a ton about her, but I do know she had a rough time growing up and being part of a storied Hollywood family, she had drug and alcohol addiction problems, was exploited, even attempted suicide, and just in general had a hard time finding her way in life. Fortunately, she overcame all that and became a successful actress, producer, and talk show host. She’s also the mother of two young daughters. Unfortunately, however, Drew did a bad thing on her talk...

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Democratic Party on Saturday approved reordering its 2024 presidential primary, replacing Iowa with South Carolina in the leadoff spot as part of a major shake-up meant to empower Black and other minority voters critical to its base of support. Although more changes are possible later this year, the formal endorsement by the Democratic National Committee during its meeting in Philadelphia is an acknowledgement that the start of the 2024 primary will look very different from the one in 2020. Hundreds of party stalwarts climbed to their feet and cheered after the easy passage by voice vote....

    Comedian and HBO late-night host Bill Maher lamented over the weekend that President Biden’s recent rhetoric and embrace of far-left policies have made it increasingly more difficult to "convince" Democrat centrists that their views still align with the party. In a Sunday interview on CNN’s "Fareed Zakaria GPS," Maher predicted a sweeping victory for Republicans in Tuesday’s midterm elections, suggesting that Biden’s efforts to appease the far-left progressive wing of the Democrat Party could be what costs them critical congressional seats. Maher pointed to Biden’s interview last month with a transgender TikTok activist, during which the president said it is...

His administration is planning to announce the latest reserve release later this week, according to Bloomberg.

    New York City needs to “do better” in preventing black residents from being driven out of their neighborhoods, Mayor Eric Adams said on Sunday, during an address marking the Juneteenth holiday. Speaking in Central Park, Adams compared the modern-day uprooting of people of color from neighborhoods across the US — including the five boroughs — to slavery. “When I was in Ghana last year, [I] saw how families were displaced, torn apart and brought over to America through slavery in the hulls of the ships, living in dungeons, spending months and months living in their human waste, having their babies...

    Cherlisa Starks-Richardson was disappointed when she learned that the beloved children’s museum in her community was selling a “watermelon salad” in celebration of Juneteenth. Starks-Richardson, who often took her daughter to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum growing up, said she expected the museum would be more focused on educating the public about Juneteenth – which celebrates the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans – instead of serving themed foods. To make matters worse, she said, watermelon has historically been used as a racist trope against Black Americans. “People were very offended by it,” said Starks-Richardson, an educator in the Indianapolis area. “Everybody...
