Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Friday had “Black Lives Matter” painted in large yellow letters on the street that leads to the White House, and also designated the square in front of Lafayette Park as Black Lives Matter Plaza.

A year ago Donald Trump produced the biggest political upset in modern-day America, but were there historical clues that pointed to his unexpected victory? Flying into Los Angeles, a descent that takes you from the desert, over the mountains, to the outer suburbs dotted with swimming pools shaped like kidneys, always brings on a near narcotic surge of nostalgia. This was the flight path I followed more than 30 years ago, as I fulfilled a boyhood dream to make my first trip to the United States. America had always fired my imagination, both as a place and as an idea....

The cards, which sell for $10 and provide unlimited Metro access the day of the inauguration, feature an image of the White House against a red-white-and-blue flag backdrop. Notably absent? Any reference to the soon-to-be 45th president of the United States: Donald Trump.... Metro said it requested permission to use a photo of Trump but didn’t receive a reply from his campaign. “Due to the long lead time to produce the cards, the new pass commemorates the national celebration of the 58th Presidential Inauguration,” the agency stated.

If only Donald Trump would stand forth and say something like this:Barack Obama: yes, I am taking to you directly; not your "administration," your quislings, your minions, or your trained-seal, so-called "media" agitation-propaganda juggernaut. It's all you. I am talking to you, U.S. President Barack Obama, or Barry Soetoro, or whatever your real name may actually be. You---by speaking or by not speaking---by acting or by not acting---you have wittingly or unwittingly advocated or empowered a renewed, malignant, metastasized racial strife in America, rather than lifting even one finger of power or persuasion to even try and stop, prevent, or...

President and Michelle Obama personally identify with everyday experiences of racial bias in America that have underpinned recent protests across the country, they told People magazine in an interview to be released Friday. “Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs,” Michelle Obama told the magazine. On one occasion, she said, her husband “was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee.” President Obama said he’s even been mistakenly treated as a valet. “There’s no black male my age, who’s...

So "Racism" once more stalks among us! The Obama administration and its congressional minions are in full-court press style on the topic. The country's president and chief magistrate asserted the other day at a political rally put on by, of all racial demagogues, Al Sharpton that poor people and black people find it harder than ever to vote. Along came Atty. Gen. Eric Holder with his own tale of racial woe. A Republican-dominated House committee had roughed him up, he thought. "What attorney general," he asked the same political gathering, "has ever had to deal with that kind of...

<p>" Florida State's Attorney Angela Corey has been indicted by a citizens' grand jury, convening in Ocala, Florida, over the alleged falsification of the arrest warrant and complaint that lead to George Zimmerman being charged with the second degree murder of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.</p>

The fury sizzles from the screen: images of President Barack Obama on a trip to Kenya, declaring he is proud to be “back home.” Another denigrating Obama’s publicly released birth certificate with the label, “Stamp Out Fraud.” And yet another that blares “Missing: REAL birth certificates and 2 U.S. citizen parents.” Extremist conspiracy theories proliferated in 2008, when Obama became a contender for the title of first black president. But these racially-driven slurs are circulating today on the Internet, and reaching ever-wider audiences. When Obama won in 2008, pundits proclaimed a new “post-racist” America. But a study released last week...

President Barack Obama recently signed an executive order hiring race-sensitive bureaucrats to hold meetings and mandate racial discipline quotas. The order charges his new racial justice team, in part, with "promoting a positive school climate that does not rely on methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools." In plain English, that means that if different races have different incidences of disciplinary action, those of a favored race who act worse will be punished less, or those of a disfavored race who act better will be punished more, or both. It's true that a higher percentage of black students...

David Axelrod, President Obama’s top strategist, believes that the reaction to Vice President Joe Biden’s comment that Romney will “put y’all back in chains” if he is elected. “Enough phony outrage from Team Mitt, while they pour millions into ads that blatantly, brazenly lie about POTUS record on welfare to work,” Axelrod tweeted. Biden, recalling that Romney wants to “unchain Wall Street,” predicted that such a policy would “put y’all back in chains” during an event in Danville, Va., which has a 48 percent African-American population. The Romney campaign condemned the comment. “After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled...

Conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart issued a strong warning to the disgracefully biased cable "news" network MSNBC Friday. Appearing at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Breitbart said, "We’re watching you to play the race card" ANDREW BREITBART: I’m just going to tell you right now, I want to end it on a media bashing note because that will uplift me like a Dionne Warwick final rendition. We’re watching you to play the race card MSNBC. We saw how you cynically placed the Reverend Sharpton in a position of absurdist power. This is Dadaism, I learned that in college, that they would...

Americans are sharply divided by race in their opinion of the shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Florida by a Hispanic neighborhood watchman. A Gallup/USA Today poll finds that most black Americans (73 percent) think Trayvon Martin's shooter, George Zimmerman, would have been arrested if Martin had been white. Only 33 percent of non-Hispanic white people said the same thing. The racial divide on Zimmerman's guilt was also big: 51 percent of black people said Zimmerman is "definitely guilty" based on the information available, compared to only 10 percent of whites. About 20 percent of both whites and blacks...

In my new video I used Obama's racial quote from the recent DNC fundraiser in the first clip in my video. I then used the Jodi Kantor quote on Michelle Obama’s love of the Irish and cut to Obama in Ireland. Then the rest follows, the Rev Wright quote from his book,and the rest of the Obama racial politics. The music is from Adagio for Strings (Platoon) It’s a sad day for America

“What are they so afraid of?” Buffeted by a series of attacks by White House spokesmen and left-leaning media, conservative publisher Regnery (sister company to HE.com) has decided to come out swinging. Long slated for an October release, Regnery moved up the release date for bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza’s controversial new book, The Roots of Obama’s Rage, to this coming Monday, September 27. The new date will be just in time to respond to the front-page hit piece rumored to be coming in (where else?) the New York Times this weekend. The White House has been “generous” with its attention...

Florida's school children are getting a lesson in how the political winds affect the political backbone today. Last year, Jim Greer, then the chair of the Florida Republican Party, was happy to, as he says now, "placate the extremists who dominate" the GOP and publicly accuse President Obama of orchestrating a socialist plot by addressing the nation's public schools via video. Today, he's apologizing for ever saying any such thing, and calling members of his former party racist. It seems that after a year which say Greer get booted from the GOP and disgraced by scandal, he's had a change...

Thanks to the folks over at National Review for spilling the beans on this travesty. In a piece titled Racial Voyeurism we learn that our famously post racial President just can't move beyond matters of race. Even though most Americans don't care about race, our current government can only be described as "obsessed" with it. The latest fiasco is the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) which requires lenders to identify the race of the applicant even if the applicant refuses to provide the information. The handbook for the HAMP program specifically states;  “If a borrower declines to provide GMD, the...

The area around the Iowa State Fairgrounds has been the scene of several fights over the past 10 days, according to Des Moines Police. They say dozens of African-American teens may have targeted white fairgoers. Police say in the latest attack on the fair's final night, Sunday, 30 to 40 teens roamed the fairgrounds looking for trouble. They say some teens had been yelling, "It's beat whitey night."

Michelle Obama lobbying yesterday at the NAACP Convention for their vote today on whether or not they should issue a proclamation condemning the TEA Party movement for being ‘racist.’ In this offensive race-baiting move, Michelle Obama is straining at gnats and swallowing camels, such as the New Black Panthers’ call to kill “crackers” (a.k.a. white people) and to kill their babies! Here’s the video of the Black Panthers call to mass murder white people. In contrast, if you want to a TEA Party of largely white people, visit the www.CleanTV.com April 15, 2010 news special on the Raleigh Sweet TEA...

The USDA's rural development director for Georgia says she was forced out of her federally appointed job after a "snippet" of a speech she gave in March appeared to show her admission to only half-heartedly aiding a struggling white farmer because of his race. But in a phone interview from her home in Albany early Tuesday morning, Shirley Sherrod told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution that the two-minute, 38-second video posted online Monday by biggovernment.com and reported on by FoxNews.com and the AJC completely misconstrued the message she was trying to convey. Sherrod, 62, insisted her statements in the video were not...

Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy -- video that now has forced the official to resign. (snip) The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after FoxNews.com published its initial report on the video, that Sherrod had resigned. More at link.
