[ad_1] Fred Anderson. Photo courtesy of Baraka Books. President Obama refuses to go low, and so he politely compares the nightmare that Americans are living through to “every day is Halloween.” I find myself seething every day. Some of my friends, among the brightest individuals in the United States, are leaving the country. Europe, the traditional country of exile for Black intellectuals and writers, has been replaced by Ghana and even Thailand. Whites are leaving in “record numbers,” the word used by The Wall Street Journal to describe this version of white flight. In order not to alienate their advertisers…

[ad_1] President Donald Trump has insisted that his proposed White House ballroom will be paid for with private donations. Now, Senate Republicans have offered legislation that would spend $1 billion of taxpayers’ money on what they say are security measures for a White House modernization project, which includes the ballroom.  Senators, including Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, introduced legislation May 4 that would fund the White House security projects. That provision, part of a reconciliation bill, could pass the Senate on a simple majority vote rather than a 60-vote supermajority. The proposal is awaiting a vote. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio,…

[ad_1] [This post is excerpted from the new book, National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America (Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster).] Partisanship has plagued American society since before Independence. John Adams notably claimed that at the time of the Revolution, “one full third were averse to the Revolution,” one-third in favor, and a final third swinging between the other two.[i] Yet the idealism that inspired the main voices for Independence led them to plant their flag firmly in the soil of an American “civic friendship” that was long a living tradition in local and colonial assemblies. In the…

[ad_1] Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth maintains that he has the authority to punish Sen. Mark Kelly (D–Ariz.), a retired U.S. Navy captain, for speech he unilaterally deems “prejudicial to good order and discipline” in the military. That claim, which is at the center of Kelly’s First Amendment lawsuit against Hegseth, ran into stiff resistance at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit during oral arguments on Thursday. Hegseth is asking the appeals court to overturn a preliminary injunction that U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued on February 12. Leon’s order bars Hegseth from proceeding with disciplinary action against…

[ad_1] Is when Western governments murder people with darker skin, different languages, different religions and living in different cultures and Westerners just compartmentalize it away.  A color guard parades the U.S. and Australian colors during the closing ceremony of exercise in 2019 in Brisbane of Talisman Sabre, an effort to improve the interoperability of the two militaries.
