  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris recently tweeted: “Our Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories. The whole family would gather around across multiple generations and we’d tell stories and light the candles. Whether you’re celebrating this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Kwanzaa!” Post some pictures, Kamala! We’d love to see your Brahmin and Jamaican grandparents sitting around the Kwanzaa candles recalling celebrations way back when they were three or four years younger. (Would that The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” would start counting Kamala’s lies!) Kwanzaa, celebrated exclusively by white liberals , is a fake holiday invented in 1966 (when Kamala was 2 years old) by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga—aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural gibberish that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanz

  10 ANTI-WOKE media heroes of 2020 31 Dec, 2020  (L) Glenn Greenwald (M) Tucker Carlson; (R) Suzanne Moore. © LUCAS JACKSON / Reuters, wikipedia   In RT’s The Wokies series, we’ve honored the professional MSM moaners who spent much of 2020 lecturing their audience on the finer points of woke doctrine. Now we recognize the journalists and pundits who refused to bow down. Race riots, a presidential election, and a global pandemic gave the media plenty to report about in 2020, but also plenty to virtue-signal about and pontificate on. And pontificate they did . After a year in which woke wackiness went mainstream and social justice replaced actual justice, RT’s The Wokies honors the few who pushed back, or simply held onto their common sense.    10. Suzanne Moore   “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act,” reads a famous quote sometimes attributed to George Orwell. Suzanne Moore probably didn’t think of herself as a revolut

  Berlin Germany -- Mains Stream Media jubilation reached a climax here on Nov. 9th, thirty years after the bumbling, perhaps even misunderstood decision to open the gate for all East Germans to stream through, hasten to the nearest West Berlin bank for their “welcome present” of 100 prized West German marks, and taste the joys of the western free market system.   Artists look over a reconstructed Berlin Wall during the art performance “Wall watching – Climb the wall together,” put on by the National Theatre of Weimar prior to the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Weimar, Germany, Oct. 30, 2019. | Jens Meyer / AP Within less than a year, they would end the experiment known as the German Democratic Republic to join and fully enjoy, the wealthy, healthy, prosperous united Germany, with its freedom of the press, speech, travel, and consumer bliss. The jubilation of thirty years ago is easy to understand and to sympathize with. The ability, whenever and as of

  Who could have predicted how dreadful a year 2020 would be. By this New Year's Eve, 19 million to 20 million Americans will have contracted a deadly virus in a pandemic that exploded out of China to carry off 333,000 Americans, one of every 1,000 of us.  As 2021 begins, Americans will be dying at the rate of 10,000 a week and contracting the virus at a rate of more than 1 million new cases a week. Yet, during that same year, miracles occurred. Vaccines were created, tested and mass-produced by Pfizer and Moderna that could, with 95% effectiveness, stop this virus cold. If Americans can reach "herd immunity"—from having caught and survived the virus or having been vaccinated against it—the COVID-19 pandemic might be contained by the summer of 2021. Economically, the pandemic caused the worst crash since the Great Depression with scores of thousands of schools closed and empty, and scores of thousands of stores, bars and restaurants shuttered, many never to op

  The Rockford bowling alley shooting suspect is a Special Forces Assistant Operations and Intelligence Sergeant, Army confirms. There are six victims. A 73-year-old male, a 65-year old male, and a 69-year-old male were killed in the shooting. The other three victims went to the hospital. 37-year-old Duke Webb, a resident of Florida and active military member is currently being held in the Winnebago County Jail without bond. Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara gave an emotional statement at the morning press conference, calling for the violence to stop. “Today with the eyes of the country on us we need to show as Rockfordians how we respond to an incident such as this,” McNamara said. “This isn’t going to be solved simply with enforcement with more officers we’re going to certainly need to have a strong police department but this is also going to be solved as a community.” What?  How can any community face trained US Army killers?   The mayor's 'emotional' appeal is not d

  A woman described as a “far-left” journalist and three other activists are charged in the August firebombings of multiple police cars. The alleged arson attacks took place during Black Lives Matter protests in Little Rock, Arkansas. Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Arkansas charged KUAR Public Radio journalist Renea Baek Goddard, 22, and three others in connection to the firebombings of multiple police vehicles in August, according to information obtained from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas. The others charged include Brittany Dawn Jeffrey, 31; Emily Nowlin, 27; and Aline Espinosa-Villegas, 24 — all residents of Little Rock. Following Black Lives Matter protests outside police stations on August 25 in Little Rock, police found several of their vehicles parked in a fleet parking lot had their tires punctured, prosecutors stated. The officers also found two green bottles with what appeared to be gasoline inside. P

Her website is  here  and you can follow her on Twitter  @caitoz Donald Trump's supporters say he drained the swamp and ended wars. His opponents say he was a Putin puppet and a reincarnation of Hitler. Both are wrong. After weeks of speculation and desperate hopes that Donald Trump might be preparing to  pardon NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden  and/or  WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange  before leaving office on January 20th, what the latest round of presidential pardons has delivered is about as far from that as you can conceivably imagine. “In an audacious pre-Christmas round of pardons, President Trump granted clemency on Tuesday to two people convicted in the special counsel’s Russia inquiry, four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killing of Iraqi civilians and three corrupt former Republican members of Congress,” the  New York Times  reports.

  Andre Hill, 47, was fatally shot by a police officer on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, sparking outrage in the state capital. The killing comes just three weeks after the fatal police shooting of 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr. in his driveway ignited protests in the city. Hill, who was African American, was shot and killed early Tuesday morning by Adam Coy, a 19-year veteran of the Columbus Division of Police (CDP), within seconds of their encounter. Coy was relieved of duty and told to turn in his gun and badge pending an investigation. Andre Hill (Facebook) According to the description of events provided by the police, officers responded to a “non-emergency call” from a neighbor at 1:37 a.m. on December 22 about a man in an SUV repeatedly turning his car on and off for an “extended period of time.” The call was little more than a noise complaint, with officers arriving to the scene to find a man inside a garage with the door open. Disturbingly, the officers did not have th

Global Streaming as part of a generalized movement online The biggest story in television this year was the rise of the streaming services, with Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, and NBCUniversal’s Peacock joining what was already the crowded field of Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. This followed a monopolistic wave of mergers and consolidations that included: AT&T buying Time Warner with Warner Bros. and HBO; the cable network Comcast buying the NBC network with Universal film studios and becoming principal owner of Sky, the most popular European satellite network; and Disney buying the Fox Production Company and Fox studio and catalogue and becoming principal owner of Hulu. The point of this activity was to begin moving television (and films) online, a movement that was accelerated by COVID, such that Disney,
