Leftist churches in Boston are calling on their fellows to get behind a plan for reparations for Black Bostonians to the tune of 15 BILLION dollars...and that is, they say, just a start. To put that in perspective, the White population of Boston is about 300,000, more or less, who are being asked to shell out about $40,000 each as penance for what their ancestors did. Boston's reparations leaders demand $15 billion, $5 billion of which will go toward closing "the education achievement gap between blacks and whites". They also demand people "tell the truth". OK, the truth is money...

The upcoming presidential election will feature crucial policy debates on issues of importance to Americans, most notably the border and the economy. But November’s contest is also shaping up to be uniquely centered on existential themes and civilizational questions—including the candidates’ sharply divergent views of freedom and democracy. Just as he did in 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump has grounded his campaign in a hopeful and optimistic vision for America’s future based on adherence to traditional American values. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan reflects his belief that the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of...

The panel in charge of drawing up New York's plans for slavery reparations is under fire after it emerged that members attacked black senator Tim Scott, blamed white people for climate change and slammed Israel within days of October 7. Governor Kathy Hochul urged New Yorkers 'not to excuse' the state's role in slavery as she set up the task force at the end of last year. But she is facing calls to fire panelist Ron Daniels after he labelled Scott 'Uncle Tim' and branded him a front man for white supremacy. 'Uncle Tim' Scott, Who Picked Cotton On the...

The Church of England said it has accepted a recent report that calls on it to establish a £1 billion ($1.3 billion) fund in response to its historical ties to the Atlantic slave trade.The report released Monday by an oversight group of independent advisers suggested that the Church of England's £100 million ($127 million) commitment to the "Fund for Healing, Repair and Justice" was not sufficient "relative either to the scale of the [commissioners'] endowment or to the scale of the moral sin and crime," according to The Guardian.The report urged the Church of England to work together with other...

The Barbary pirates of North Africa attacked the coastal northern Mediterranean launching attacks against Britain, France, Italy and Sicily. In their feverish search for slaves a few pirates even went as far as the coast of Iceland, raiding inland to kidnap people and bring them back to North Africa. From the 1500s to the 1800s it is estimated that one million white Europeans, to include those captured at sea as well as through land raids abroad were enslaved. Many of these were Americans captured at sea.

He attained great wealth after completing his term as an indentured servant, and has been referred to as "'the black patriarch' of the first community of Negro property owners in...

Remember Lincoln for his courage and his political perseverance in saving the Union, but also remember the source of his courage.Not long ago, the Bible was considered a foundational book for American society — a work that stood alongside the Declaration of Independence for its contributions to American politics. However, few American presidents have been shaped by their reading of the Bible as Abraham Lincoln was. From a skeptic and deist to a daily reader who made more than 200 references to Scripture in his speeches and other writings, Lincoln’s transformation as an inspirational leader coincided with his transformed relationship...

Like most African Americans, I come from a family with a history that includes generations of enslavement. But unlike most, the men and women who held my ancestors in bondage were not white, they were Native American—people who were themselves oppressed by the process that led to my family’s freedom.

How is it possible that Republicans cannot impeach this rotten, destructive man? DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas joined Kristen Welker on Meet the Press on Sunday to discuss the Biden open borders invasion at the US southern border. During the interview Secretary Mayorkas, a serial liar, told Welker “We don’t bear responsibility” for the open US border and the 11 million illegals who have invaded the US under their watch. Of course, this latest disgusting lie by Alejandro Mayorkas is part of The Democrat’s Nine Point Plan to blame Joe Biden’s border crisis on Republicans and Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, lawmakers in the state of California introduced a series of bills aimed at providing reparations for historical slavery, which would include giving out property and financial compensation for alleged descendants of slaves.As Politico reports, the bills represent the first of their kind in the country, after a rising left-wing movement in favor of reparations first emerged shortly after the 2020 race riots. The California bills had been in the works for the last several years after Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) set up a reparations “task force” to make suggestions, which led to a 111-page report issued last year.The...

My name is Simon Aban Deng. I am from South Sudan. I am a Shilluk. I am a Christian. I am a former slave. I will not forget that day when Arab Sudanese government troops came and raided my village. We didn’t know what was going on until we heard gunshots from every direction. I was only 9 years old, but the militiamen were shooting anybody they saw, including children. Myself, my family, and five of my friends had to run. But the Arabs ran after us: While we were running, they shot two of my friends. We ran wildly,...

Elon Musk’s Tesla has been one of the largest electric vehicle manufacturers in recent years thanks to its range of reasonably priced, high-tech EVs like the Tesla Model Y and the newly introduced Cybertruck.
