White liberal denial meets black reality Original
I know what it’s like to live in the neighborhoods white liberals only mention when it suits them. I’ve lived on the South Side of Chicago. I’ve lived in Southeast D.C. I’ve seen crime with my own eyes, and I’ve experienced the fear that comes with it. I’ve walked streets where parents teach their kids to drop at the sound of gunfire. I’ve seen drug corners where police barely bother to show up because they know the system won’t back them.
Trump to DC: Public safety isn’t optional Original
Washington, D.C., the capital meant to project American power, order, and pride, has instead become a showcase for failure. For decades, Democrats have run this city. They’ve had the budget, the manpower, and the authority to make it safe. Yet today, open-air drug markets operate within sight of the Capitol. Carjackings happen in broad daylight. Businesses flee, joined by residents who refuse to live as prisoners in their own neighborhoods.
The Education Dept. is a failure, and Trump is right to shut it down
For decades, the Department of Education has existed as a bloated, useless agency whose only real function has been to funnel money into the pockets of teachers’ unions, fund radical leftist social experiments at universities, and ensure that American children graduate high school barely able to read or do basic math. Now, President Trump is finally doing what should have been done long ago and shutting it down.
Democrats say they fight for you — while laughing all the way to the bank | Blaze Media
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) the other day said what every Democrat truly believes: Your money isn’t yours.
Biden’s bureaucrats scramble to protect their taxpayer slush fund
Democrats love to preach about “fiscal responsibility” — but only when it involves raising taxes. The moment someone suggests cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, they panic like a cornered animal. That’s exactly what’s happening now with the Department of Government Efficiency. This new initiative aims to do something any rational person should support: eliminate wasteful spending and root out fraud in Washington. Yet, Democrats treat it like a personal attack. Why?
Trump’s second inaugural: A roaring rejection of elitist priorities
When Donald Trump takes the oath of office a second time on Monday, it will symbolize more than the return of a former president. It will mark the renewed triumph of millions of Americans who rose up once again to declare that they refuse to be ignored. For decades, the Democratic Party — once a champion of the working class and middle America — has moved away from its roots in favor of elitist priorities.
BLM and mob threats couldn’t overturn the truth in the Daniel Penny case
The acquittal of Daniel Penny on Monday in the subway death of Jordan Neely highlights that justice, grounded in facts and fairness, can withstand media distortion and mob outrage. This case was not merely about one man’s actions but about affirming the right to self-defense and preserving the integrity of the justice system. Penny, a former Marine, intervened to protect subway passengers when Neely, described by witnesses as erratic and threatening, caused fear among those present.
Hunter’s ‘get out of jail free’ card lands just in the nick of time
Joe Biden has made history — not as a unifier or a statesman, but as the architect of a bold act of corruption in modern American politics. With a single stroke of his pen, Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, covering any wrongdoing from 2014 through December 1, 2024. This act isn’t a pardon; it’s a blanket immunity deal drafted in the Oval Office. Joe Biden just spit in the face of every American who believes in the rule of law. Consider what this means. Tax evasion? Covered. Foreign influence peddling?
Abandoned by Democrats, voters find a voice in Trump’s agenda
People often ask how a former Bernie Sanders supporter like me could back Donald Trump. For me, it came down to one key issue: the Democrats’ abandonment of the working class. Sanders himself recently said it’s no wonder working Americans are leaving a party that no longer serves them. The presidential election underscored this shift, as Trump saw record turnout among black and Latino voters. Yet instead of asking why, the left resorted to lazy stereotypes.
Die Basis aufgeben: Wie ideologische Litmus Tests Staaten rot Färben
Der stetige Rückzug der Demokratischen Partei aus Michigan sollte als warnendes Beispiel dafür dienen, was passiert, wenn die Parteiführung ihre Basis ignoriert. 2016 gewann Bernie Sanders die Vorwahlen in Michigan überraschend gegen Hillary Clinton — ein frühes Warnzeichen der Unzufriedenheit, das weitgehend unbeachtet blieb.
Truth About Democrats Alienating Voters
Abandoning the Base: How Ideological Litmus Tests Are Turning States Red Analysis: The Democratic Party’s steady retreat from Michigan should serve as a cautionary tale of what happens when party leadership ignores its base. In 2016, Bernie Sanders won the Michigan primary in an upset over Hillary Clinton—an early warning sign of discontent that went largely unheeded. Sanders’ populist platform, focused on trade and economic fairness, resonated with Michiganders weary of the status quo.
French fries, beers, and no-shows: What Trump knows that Harris doesn't
In politics, the way leaders engage with the public often reflects their true character. Some roll up their sleeves and immerse themselves in everyday activities, while others maintain a distance, suggesting that they have more important concerns. Last week highlighted three distinct interactions: Donald Trump served McDonald's in Pennsylvania, JD Vance poured beers at a Wisconsin bar, and Kamala Harris missed the high-profile Al Smith charity dinner in New York.
The ‘party of the people’ forgot the people — and the people got fed up | Blaze Media
Americans are leaving the Democratic Party in droves, waking up to the reality that the party no longer fights for their values. For years, Democrats have claimed to stand for the working class, but more people are realizing that this is just lip service. The party has become disconnected from the struggles of hardworking Americans — rising inflation, struggling businesses, and an economy that benefits only the elites.
Biden and Harris abandon Helene victims for political show
Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeastern United States late last month, destroying entire towns, displacing families, and leaving a level of destruction not seen in generations. The flooding was historic — a “once-in-a-thousand-years” event — but it’s only part of the problem. A huge and looming issue is the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s total failure to respond effectively. When Americans needed help most, FEMA was absent. The agency’s response?
Why more young black men are turning to Trump — and leaving Democrats behind | Blaze Media
For years, the Democratic Party has treated the black vote as if it were a given — a locked-down, guaranteed asset in its electoral strategy. But as the 2024 election approaches, this assumption is proving dangerously naïve. Among Generation Z, particularly young black men, there is a growing shift toward supporting Donald Trump, a trend that Democrats can no longer afford to ignore. The narrative that the Democrats have a monopoly on the black vote is crumbling.
PIERCE: The Misleading Nature Of Tim Walz’s Military Record Reveals Something Deeper About Democrats
As someone who once believed in the Democratic Party, I know firsthand how far they’ve strayed from the truth. I served in the U.S. Army, deploying overseas in support of Operation Iraqi and Enduring Freedom to defend the principles of honor and integrity. These are values Tim Walz seems to have forgotten, and it’s time we hold him accountable. Walz claims the rank of Command Sergeant Major, a title reserved for those who have truly earned it through years of sacrifice and leadership.
PIERCE: I Helped Joe Biden Get Elected, But It’s Time For Him To Step Down
President Joe Biden’s debate performance against former President Donald Trump was a stark reminder of the significant challenges facing his campaign and why Biden is the wrong choice. As someone who has spent years working within Democratic politics, I believe it is time for Biden to step down — not just for his own sake, but for the nation’s. Biden’s performance was marked by troubling signs of frailty and confusion.
PIERCE: Why I (Like Other Black Voters) Am Ditching Biden For Trump
Recent polls indicate a significant shift in the political landscape: President Biden is losing support from Black Americans. This trend is not only revealing but also encouraging. As an African American who recently switched from Democrat to Republican, I believe this awakening within our community is a step in the right direction. Despite the administration’s attempts to showcase economic achievements for Black Americans, the reality on the ground tells a different story.

PIERCE: Democrats’ Migrant Crisis Is A Betrayal Of Black Americans
As a former Democrat who has witnessed the erosion of promises and the abandonment of principles, I cannot stay silent any longer. The border crisis, fueled by the Democratic Party’s misguided policies, is a blatant betrayal of Black Americans. The Democratic Party’s relentless push for amnesty and benefits for illegal immigrants stands as a glaring example of their misplaced priorities.
PIERCE: I Advised Bernie And Raised Funds For Biden. Now I’m Joining The Republican Party
I have been a loyal Democrat for as long as I can remember. I spearheaded Joe Biden’s exploratory effort in 2015, served as a senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders during the 2016 and 2020 elections, and even played a role as a fundraiser for Biden during the 2020 general election. But despite my active involvement in the Democratic Party, the concerns I hold regarding the party’s direction in recent years can no longer be ignored. I love our country.
Alternatives to high-stakes exams
Dear Education Committee, I’d like to know more about alternatives to high-stakes exams in STEM courses. What are the pros and cons? Do they serve students? Does shifting away from exams create more work for faculty? Can they be used in the online format or only once classes are back in person? —Asking About Assessment Alternatives Dear Asking, Ideally, exams help educators assess student learning and also help students consolidate their knowledge of new course material as they study.
ASCB opts for a virtual annual meeting once again
Cell Bio 2021 – an ASCB|EMBO Meeting will be held online after the Council of the American Society for Cell Biology voted unanimously to do so during a February 27th meeting. Although many of us are seeing a cautious return to in-person gatherings, ASCB meeting planners and Council agreed that the protocols needed to create such a meeting for cell biologists would be too challenging and too costly. Cell Bio Virtual 2021 has been set for December 1 to 10, 2021.

Increasing the Number of Blacks in STEM
As the various advances in science and technology continue to shape our world, it is vital that the United States of America be able to contend with other developed nations in producing qualified individuals to fill positions in the STEM. In order to do that, every person that has a desire in obtaining a career in STEM must be afforded the utmost possible chance to obtain a high-quality education. Historically there have been numerous legal barriers preventing blacks from attaining this education.

On October 5, Van Dyke was convicted of second-degree murder for killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.

Letting Craft Speak for Itself | Communication Arts
My compulsion to draw met my affinity for handwriting. I picked up early on that you can recognize someone by how she or he writes, even though we’re all scribbling the same shapes for language. This set me on my way, and running an illegal graffiti practice for five or six years around Houston and Galveston, Texas, taught me most of what I know now about composition, branding, messaging, timing, architecture and the sense of ownership of public spaces.
