White Supremacy doesn't always show up with a White Face. Sometimes it hides behind Black Skin.

This is an interesting view. Unclear how balanced this was though...

Puerto Ricans overwhelmingly reject statehood in Fox News Digital interviews, citing fears of economic collapse, higher taxes, and the erosion of their cultural identity. Residents on the island and in the mainland U.S. pushed back hard on the idea of becoming the 51st state — even as Puerto Rico's pro-statehood governor continues to champion the cause alongside President Trump. One woman compared the potential outcome to what happened to Hawaii. Alejandra from San Juan said locals are "already been struggling for a while now" and statehood would "make stuff even worse." The concerns went deeper than economics. Residents pointed to a fear of losing what makes Puerto Rico uniquely Puerto Rican. "It will lose the heart and soul," one resident said.

Why the drama? This is about celebrating the legacy of Mr. Chuck Brown.

Today is a victory for the Constitution, the rule of law, and generations of American families. Birthright citizenship is not up for political debate it is a constitutional guarantee. While this fight is far from over, today’s decision reminds us that no one, not even a president, is above the Constitution. We will keep defending the promise of America for everyone.

This voter intimidation should be ignored. We are the biggest democracy in the world and there is room in this democracy for many ideologies, and thank God the Constitution protects them. I am behind @Janeese4DC 100%.

Q: Here in Washington DC, there's a Democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign focusing on socialist policies. How would you feel if she wins? TRUMP: Maybe we take back Washington and run it on a federal basis. We won't put up with it.

This preacher goes all over the world preaching Christianity, and also has no problem spreading his hate in the name of Christianity.

🚨MUST SEE AMERICA! TEXANS ARE RISING UP "I WAS KIDNAPPED BY MUSLIMS" - GREAT-GRANDSON OF SAM HOUSTON & DAVY CROCKETT DESTROYS FRISCO MOSQUE PLAN This one hit like a thunderbolt. Joel Teemi, direct descendant of Texas legends, stood before the Frisco City Council last night and delivered pure fire: “My great grandfather was the first president of the Texas Republic… Sam Houston. Another great-grandfather fought at the Alamo… Davy Crockett. My great-great-great-grandfathers fought under George Washington in the Continental Army.” Born on Langley Air Force Base. Military family for generations. He went into ministry instead, preached in 58 countries. In 2021 he was kidnapped and held hostage by Islamic supremacists in the Middle East while caring for the widows and children of the 21 Coptic Christians beheaded by ISIS on that Libyan beach. His own young children have lived on the front lines. Their friends were killed by Muslims. His message was crystal clear and unapologetic: “I don’t want to bring a mosque to Texas ever. We shouldn’t have one here. It’s incompatible with what it means to be an American.” He pointed to true assimilation: his brother’s wife, a former Muslim from India, converted to Catholicism, learned English, and joined a church, instead of demanding a mosque. “Christ is King… Stay true to your roots.” Real Texas bloodlines are showing up and saying NO. Frisco is awake. Texas is awake. The fight continues.

I am so honored and privileged to have the former Attorney General @EricHolder behind me in the DC Delegate's race. He says that: “This moment demands more than another politician. Replacing the legendary Eleanor Holmes Norton requires someone with toughness, resilience and the ability to fight and win on the national stage. Kinney Zalesne is that person. She has Eleanor‘s backbone and persistence and the experience of getting results that DC urgently needs as Trump‘s attacks leave the city more vulnerable than at any point in my lifetime.” Thank you so much for your endorsement, Eric!
