Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently appointed Zakiya Carr Johnson as the State Department’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. Her mission, according to Blinken, was to help build a workforce that reflects America. Given that Blinken has previously promoted a politically correct agenda, for example, suggesting that employees avoid gendered terms such as manpower and mother, this comes as no surprise. Blinken justified this diversity effort in terms of national security, saying, "We will continue to pursue this mission aggressively, because recruiting, nurturing, and promoting the most capable workforce possible is critical to our national security." Since Blinken knew of...

During a segment on the political sentiments of Black voters in Georgia, a reporter was shocked when a couple who were formerly Democrats declared that they are now going to vote for Donald Trump. CBS News correspondent Nikole Killion was clearly horrified when Azad Ahmadi and his girlfriend, who had both previously voted for Obama, and were registered Democrats, announced they have both switched allegiances. While Mr Ahmadi said he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, Alexandria announced that she had voted for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, before declaring that Trump will get her vote this time around....

Alina Habba, a lawyer who represents Donald Trump, allegedly called New York Attorney General Letitia James a "Black b***h." The claim was made in a lawsuit alleging discrimination that was filed against Habba and her firm, Habba Madaio & Associates, by Na'syia Drayton, a Black woman who worked there as a legal assistant until recently. It was filed Middlesex County, New Jersey, on Tuesday, online records show. Habba, has represented Trump in a number of lawsuits, has attacked James, calling her a "sick person" for her investigation into Trump's business practices. The lawsuit alleges that Habba's behavior created a hostile...

After impeaching President Donald Trump for the so-called insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, House Democrats want to, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, "establish a bipartisan agreement for a 9/11-style commission to report on the facts and the causes of the attack." Before the Senate vote to establish this commission, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "The American people will see where every member stands: on the side of truth or on the side of Donald Trump's big lie." Having already pronounced Jan. 6 an "insurrection" sparked by Trump's "big lie," Democrats like Pelosi and Schumer tell us, with a...

Longtime Black Democratic congressional leaders Reps. Maxine Waters and James Clyburn are troubled by the possibility that more Black voters could reelect President Donald Trump for a second term. "I don't even know where any Blacks would be coming from that would be voting for Trump," Waters, D-Calif., said in a Friday interview with SiriusXM's Joe Madison. It just hurts me so bad to see Blacks talking about supporting Trump." While Black Republican voters have always been around, Black voters, especially Black men, appear to be stepping closer to conservative principles. The stamp of approval from some famous, wealthy rappers,...

Spoiler alert: I don’t think so. According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, however, nearly a third of black voters would vote to reelect President Trump “if the presidential election was held today.” Rasmussen often gets accused of being a pro-Trump poll, but the firm did accurately predict the 2016 election, so that has to count for something.According to Rasmussen’s latest 2020 election survey, Joe Biden has “a slight 48% to 47% lead over President Trump among Likely U.S. Voters,” and while both Trump and Biden have roughly equal support amongst their respective parties, Trump “leads by three points among voters...

African Americans as a voting bloc have been completely owned by the Democrat party. It has long been considered an immutable fact that Republicans, regardless whether or not their policies were in fact something African Americans wanted or needed, were never going to break through the Democrat stranglehold. Republicans tried in vain for 60 years to recapture a voting bloc that they had lost due to a combination of bad optics and poor decisions. Then came President Trump. Admittedly Trump didn’t win the African American vote in 2016, nor did he really fare any better than his Republican candidate predecessors...

President Trump on Friday said his presumptive Democratic challenger Joe Biden “is no longer worthy of the Black Vote,” after the former vice president made comments contrasting African American and Latino diversity. “After yesterday’s statement, Sleepy Joe Biden is no longer worthy of the Black Vote!” Trump tweeted Friday morning. Earlier Friday, Trump tweeted: “Sleepy Joe Biden just lost the Black Vote. This statement is a disaster from which there is no recovery!” The president then deleted the tweet and replaced it with the new one. In both tweets, the president was referring to Biden’s remarks during an interview that...

Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden landed in some hot water on Friday after making it very clear that he's fully taking the black vote for granted in November, should he receive his party's nomination. “If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black," Biden said during an interview on The Breakfast Club radio show Friday morning. In his subsequent apology , Biden said, "I've never, never, ever taken the African American community for granted." Oh, but he did, in the very same interview, nonetheless. The former Delaware senator made the false claim...

State Rep. Vernon Jones bucked his party Tuesday and endorsed President Donald Trump, making him the first state elected Democratic official in Georgia to back the Republican’s bid for a second term. A polarizing figure in Georgia politics, the DeKalb County legislator told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he was not switching parties but that he views Trump as a transformative figure who has helped African American voters, military veterans and farmers with his policies. “It’s very simple to me. President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse...

Black voters voting behavior is a perplexing dynamic. Their unwavering support of Democrat politicians and the liberal agenda that creates an illusion of caring about their plight of living life at the bottom is stunning. But this didn’t happen overnight. It’s been decades of head in the sand mentality that has cost black voters dearly. Recall former Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, who rose to a leadership position as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Byrd filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act. That reality didn’t stop former President Obama, who had said upon learning of Byrd’s passing that the Senate...

Former Vice President Joe Biden won the Mississippi primary on Tuesday, the latest in his string of victories in the deep south, where black voters have turned out in big numbers to support his campaign. News outlets called the victory for Biden over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as soon as polls closed. Biden’s final margin of victory is not known yet, but polls showed him up by 50 points heading into Election Day, so he’ll likely win a strong majority of the 36 delegates up for grabs. Sanders cancelled a planned event in Mississippi last week, deciding instead that his...

The Trump campaign is investing more money and resources in an attempt to attract African-American voters than any Republican presidential campaign in recent memory. The drive includes highly visible television advertising, including an $11 million Super Bowl commercial, along with ad purchases in local black newspapers and on radio stations; “Black Voices for Trump”; storefronts in key battleground states; and a sustained social media campaign directed at black voters whose consumer, religious and demographic profiles suggest potential support, including on such issues as immigration, abortion, gender roles and gay rights. For Trump, the effort became all the more crucial as...

CNN’s Keith Boykin lashed out at black Trump supporter and former NFL safety Jack Brewer as an “Uncle Tom” Thursday night. During a Thursday Black History Month event held at the White House, a day that included an address to hundreds of black leaders, President Trump also held a roundtable in the Cabinet Room with about two dozen black political and religious leaders. It was here the former Minnesota Viking said to the president, “I gotta say this because it’s black history month: Man, you the first black president.” Making the moment even more interesting is the fact that Brewer...

Former football safety Jack Brewer called President Donald Trump America’s “first black president” during a Black History Month roundtable at the White House on Thursday. “Mr. President, I don’t mean to interrupt, but I’ve got to say this because it’s Black History Month, man, you are the first black president,” Brewer declared. “I’ve been a Democrat all my life but I’m not a Democrat now,” Brewer said. “You’ve changed me. You touched me. And you made my work go to another level. You inspire me. And every time I go into those prisons and I ask my guys how many...

Great news from the Washington Examiner: President Trump is opening 15 urban campaign field offices in an aggressive bid to improve his performance with black voters, who for decades have been an overwhelmingly Democratic constituency. Sleek and situated in retail shopping districts to generate foot traffic, this unique collection of regional “community centers” is a critical component of the Trump campaign’s multimillion-dollar strategy to double in 2020 the 8% support the president received from black voters nearly four years ago. Where will these “community centers” be? Five offices are slated for Florida: Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. In North...
