Author and Democratic Party presidential candidate Marianne Williamson released her first television campaign advertisement on Wednesday morning, titled “Reparations — An Idea Whose Time Has Come.” During the 60-second video, Williamson is asked why she has decided to make reparations for the descendants of slaves a signature issue in her presidential campaign. “I’ve been talking about this since my book came out in 1997,” Williamson said. “The first enslaved persons are brought over in 1619. With slavery not abolished until 1865, that is 250 years, followed by another hundred years of institutionalized violence against black people. That’s 350 years of institutionalized violence — that’s longer than this country has been in existence.” “Paying reparations for slavery will not fix everything, but America will not have the future that we want if we’re not willing to clean up the past, to clean up this original character defect of racism,” she continued. “Whatever it costs, it’s time...

A new report states that the treasurer for a new Super PAC for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden also functions as a registered agent lobbying for a foreign country. As Sean Davis writes at The Federalist, “Larry Rasky, a lobbyist who previously worked as a top campaign operative for Biden, is listed as the treasurer of the PAC, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).” Davis adds that Department of Justice files indicate Rasky works as a registered foreign agent lobbying for Azerbaijan. Last Sunday, Biden told reporters in Iowa, “I can tell you now, if I am your president — next president — I’m going to build on the squeaky clean, transparent environment that we had in the Obama-Biden White House … No one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they’re a cabinet member, will in fact have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or foreign country.” Politico confirme...

Speaking at the annual dinner of the American Enterprise Institute, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley criticized colleagues of hers in the Trump administration “who believed that the best thing to do for America was to undermine and obstruct the president,” asserting, “The president was the choice of the people, in accordance with our founding charter. No policy disagreement with him, no matter how heartfelt, justifies undermining the lawful authority that is vested in his office by the Constitution.” Haley’s speech was redolent with praise for America’s role in the world and optimism for the future as she stated, “I want to start by saying I am optimistic about America’s future. I know that for those who spend too much time on Twitter, it may at times look like it’s all over for the American experiment. Depending on which cable network you prefer, there is a sense that things are coming off the rails in America today.” She continued, “But America has survived a revolution, a foreig...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama said Tuesday that she “can’t make people not afraid of black people,” though she tries to “pick away at the scabs of discrimination.” “As people doubted us coming through — ‘Are you Princeton material? Can you really make the grade? Can you cut it?’ — what do you do in those instances? All you can do is put your head down and do the work and let the work, your truth, speak for itself,” Mrs. Obama explained at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago, as reported by The Hill. “I can’t make people not afraid of black people. I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t explain what’s happening in your head,” she said.

Kanye West said he plans to have seven kids with wife Kim Kardashian West, emphasizing that children are what make a person “rich.” “[I want] seven kids. The richest thing that you can have is as many children as possible,” the “Closed on Sunday” rapper said on a recent episode of “Carpool Karaoke.” West, who recently released a gospel album called “Jesus is King,” told host James Corden that he reads the Bible at night. “I don’t like going out at nighttime. I like being at home with my family at night as much as possible,” West said, according to People magazine. “We’ll eat dinner and we’ll play with the kids and then we’ll put the kids to bed and then we go to bed. And then my wife watches Dateline [and] I read the Bible.” The 42-year-old also praised marriage. “People thought it would be uncool to be married,” he said. “Then I got married and people were like, ‘Oh, that’d be cool. It’s more than cool. It’s more than cool as hell.” “It’s heavenly. It’s great. It’s magnificent,” ...

A drag queen performer named “Sasha Sota” repeatedly exposed himself while reading to young children during a recent “Drag Queen Story Hour” event at a taxpayer-funded library in Minnesota, photos show. Blogger Anne Taylor, writing at “Caffeinated Thoughts,” attended the October 17 event at the Hennepin Country Library and shared photos online of the drag queen’s exposed crotch. “We’re talking a sleeveless cut-off t-shirt resembling SpongeBob SquarePants with midriff exposed, a pink mini-skirt, rainbow ankle socks, and black spiked heels that went above six inches,” Taylor described Sota’s attire. “The wig he wore was mermaid style crimping in the color of bright orange and makeup that was far too much under the neon lights.” The drag queen “strode in suggestively past the children, sitting down in a chair before several preschool-aged girls with his legs spread wide, exposing his nylon covered crotch in front of children sitting at eye level,” she recalled, providing photos of one ...

On Monday, two reporters posted video from inside registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “Pedophile Island.” We Are Change’s Luke Rudkowski and the Dollar Vigilante’s Jeff Berwick stormed Little St. James Island and explained to viewers what they found in a video posted to YouTube. While there has been drone footage of the isolated area, where Epstein and other high-profile figures allegedly engaged in pedophilia, there is limited footage from on the ground. Some of the interesting things shown in the video are bizarre gargoyles found around the island, the secluded “massage” area, and Epstein’s infamous temple. As noted by the reporters, Epstein allegedly spent $20,000 per palm tree in order to create utter seclusion around the “private massage area.” Additionally, the temple looked like something one might see on a “Hollywood set,” they noted. The door on the “temple,” for example, was not a door, but merely painted on. pic.twitter.com/e5qadBsz9X — Luke Rudkowski...
