Nuking The Redskins’ Name Did Nothing To Help American Indians, And Nobody’s Surprised

Rumor’s out that the owners of the Washington Commanders are feeling the heat to reverse the 2020 decision by former owner Daniel Snyder to drop the team’s beloved Redskins name.

The reason? President Donald Trump’s recent threats regarding the team’s $3.7 billion plan to return the team’s stadium to the District of Columbia from its decades-long sojourn in Maryland. “I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’” Trump posted, “I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington.”

Certainly, this lifelong Redskins fan wouldn’t mind Trump fighting on behalf of the fanbase of a storied franchise who still feels betrayed by a decision that had more to do with woke mob outrage in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death than with the purported social justice reasons given for why the team needed to alter its name and mascot.

“Redskins is racist,” asserted pundits across left-wing corporate media, a claim that finally gained traction when American corporations kowtowed to every woke activist in 2020 by claiming they would take whatever steps would appease the mob and its accusatory chants of “systemic racism.” Yet five years on, one might ask, what has the name change actually accomplished?

DHS Releases Visitation Guidelines to Shut Down Democrat Narrative — Says Members of Congress “CANNOT Break the Law” at ICE Facilities

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially released a damning set of visitation guidelines for members of Congress and their staff visiting ICE detention centers — and it’s sending a loud and clear message to the left: you are not above the law.

This comes after Democrat members of Congress and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka stormed the ICE facility in Newark on Friday.

Democrat Reps. LaMonica McIver, Bob Menendez, and Bonnie Watson Coleman were all fighting for the release of dangerous criminal aliens.

Newark Mayor Baraka was arrested and charged with criminal trespass, but the Democrat lawmakers who engaged in riotous behavior have not been charged yet.

Democrat Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman ran to CNN to defend the criminal acts at the ICE facility.

The Department of Homeland Security responded to Rep. Bonnie’s lies by posting bodycam footage of the violent altercation as New Jersey Democrats stormed the ICE facility.

“Let’s check the tape,” the DHS said.

The White House Released Its Response to Crying Selena Gomez and It Is Absolutely Devastating

The White House just released a video worthy of ending Selena Gomez’s career.

As readers will know, Gomez humiliated herself with a video uploaded to Instagram in which she cried at the deportation of illegal immigrants, the majority of whom have committed heinous crimes.

“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t,” she weeps in the video.

”I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

In an obvious sign of regret, Gomez quickly deleted her video from her account.

However, her following of 422 million meant that her tears will go down in internet history as one of the most humiliating liberal meltdowns of all time.

The White House has now responded to the singer and actress with a devastating video of mothers whose children were murdered by illegal immigrants, who are often referred to as “Angel Moms.”

“You don’t know who you’re crying for,” says Tammy Hamilton, who was the mother of Kayla Hamilton.

“What about our children who were brutally murdered and raped and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants?”

“Seeing that video, it’s hard to believe that it’s actually genuine and real because she’s an actress,” says Alexis Nungaray, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray.

“My daughter was a child,” she continued. “There’s many other children whose lives were taken due to people who crossed her illegally.”

“I just feel like it’s a ruse to deceive people and to garner sympathy for lawlessness,” added Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin.

“They didn’t cry for our daughters. No one has stood up except for us mothers to cry out about our children.”

Selena Gomez Falsely Claims She Was Threatened in Response to Troll Who Pointed Out That Her Grandmother was an Illegal Alien and Questioned Whether She Should be Deported

An X post trolling Selena Gomez over a recent act she put on and humorously questioning whether or not she should be deported has elicited a response from the actress, who called it a “threat.”

The over-dramatization is nothing new.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Selena Gomez, in a since-deleted clip, put her trump derangement syndrome on full display, sobbing over Trump’s quest to remove criminal aliens from America.

“I just want to say that I’m so sorry,” she sobbed. “All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand.”

“I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she said hysterically.

She apparently cares more about the murderers of Laken Riley, Rachel Morrin, Jocelyn Nungary, and countless others than the families of brutally murdered alien crime victims.

Sam Parker, a one-time Senate candidate from Utah, posted the clip on his personal X account, accurately pointing out that Gomez is the descendant of illegal aliens and questioning whether “Selena should be deported, too.”

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey Changes Her Mind About Deporting Criminal Illegals When Things Get Real

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is one of the Democrats who has vowed to defy Trump’s plans to deport illegal immigrants.

Back in November, Healey said she would use her executive power to ‘protect’ residents of the state, even if they are illegals.

Now that ICE has begun picking up criminal illegals in the city of Boston, she is singing a different tune.

What changed?

From WCVB News in Boston:

Gov. Healey on recent Massachusetts immigration arrests: ‘I support the apprehension of criminals’

Federal immigration agents were seen Wednesday taking a man into custody in Chelsea, Massachusetts, as well as making other arrests in East Boston.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey addressed the arrests, saying she wouldn’t be quick to call them “raids.”

“I wouldn’t describe them as raids,” Healey said.”What it seems to be, and what we expected and what I support, which is the apprehension of criminals in our communities.”

Healey said she supports arresting criminals — whether they are undocumented or not.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is pushing back after President Donald Trump promised a crackdown on immigration.

It’s likely that when Healey was blowing hot air about standing up to Trump, that’s all it was. Air. It was Democrat virtue-signaling.

Drive to ban ‘racist’ dogs from the Welsh countryside to make the outdoors more ‘inclusive’

Labour-run Wales has been told to ban dogs from parts of the countryside to help make the outdoors ‘anti-racist’. 

The devolved administration has vowed to end racism in the country by 2030 and ensure ‘all areas’ of public life are transformed.

According to a report funded by the Welsh government to help steer its ‘anti-racist’ policy, dog-free zones should be set up to make outdoor areas more inclusive. 

A government spokesman today insisted it was not planning to act on the proposal and dogs ‘would continue to be welcomed in the hills of Wales’. 

The creation of ‘dog-free areas in local green spaces’ is one of a slate of recommendations in the evidence report, compiled by environmental group Climate Cymru BAME.

Others include creating more urban allotments where people can grow their own food and handing out grants and subsidies to students, members of ethnic minorities and asylum seekers to help them ‘commit more to environment and climate change issues’.  

The taxpayer-funded report has been widely slated online and was described by Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies as ‘virtual signalling nonsense’. 

‘This kind of outdated virtue signalling nonsense is completely out of touch with the needs of the people of Wales,’ he told the Telegraph.

‘Labour is stuck on yesterday’s thinking, the kind that is being roundly rejected globally. Time to turf them out.’

“White Guilt”: Absolution & Narcissism

A couple of nights ago I had a brief conversation with Allen West—who is currently serving as chairman of the Republican Party of Texas—about the subject of “White Guilt.” He expressed the opinion that affluent white women are being terribly manipulated by ruthless actors who harp on their feelings of guilt about the injustices suffered by black people in the past.

I replied that these women are not suffering from a genuinely guilty conscience, but enjoy congratulating themselves for the sense of moral superiority they obtain by ruminating on and discussing their “guilt.”

This feeling is akin to the genuine sense of relief and liberation we achieve when we confess and make amends for our true transgressions against others. Only, in the case of affluent white women indulging in feelings of “white guilt,” they get to enjoy this gratification not for the absolution of their own sins, but for the sins of other, less enlightened souls. Thus, the emotional exercise is not a form of humility, but of self-aggrandizement.

Oscar Wilde characterized this kind of self-indulgent emotion as sentimentality.

A sentimentalist is simply one who wants to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it. We think we can have our emotions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing emotions have to be paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine.

In the 2001 film Storytelling, a dark satire directed by Todd Solondz, a young white female—a literary major at a prestigious university—puts herself in a life threatening situation with a literature professor (who happens to be black) in order to absolve herself of her white guilt. For her, the professor’s moral trait lies not in his character—which is obviously predatory and exploitative—but in his dark skin color. By yielding to his predatory conduct, she not only corrupts herself, but also contributes to the further moral corruption of her professor.

Father of 11-Year-Old Boy Killed by Haitian Migrant Says He Wished His Son Had Been “Killed by a 60-Year-Old White Man Instead”

The father of an 11-year-old boy who was tragically killed by a Haitian illegal migrant said wished his son had been “killed by a 60-year-old white man instead” in order to prevent advocates of border control and the Trump campaign using the death for political purposes.

Aiden Clark was killed by 35-year-old Hermanio Joseph last year near Springfield, Ohio, after the Haitian drove on the wrong side of the road, causing a school bus full of children to crash, killing Clark and injuring 20 others.

Joseph was driving without a license.

During a speech at a City Commission meeting, Aiden Clark’s father, Nathan Clark, slammed the Trump campaign and its supporters for using his son’s death for political purposes.

LA City Council Removes U-Turn Signs In Gay Neighborhood Because They Are “Homophobic”

Another bizarre virtue signal just in time for pride month.  Street signs that LA officials said previously targeted LGBT community members were taken down from a Silver Lake neighborhood this week.  The signs that read “No Cruising” and prohibited U-turns were installed in 1997 when neighbors allegedly complained about gay men stalking back and forth in vehicles looking for “dates” in certain residential areas. 

In other words, the signs interfere with the gay pastime of “cruising” (sexual solicitation).  Whether or not they were actually posted specifically to ward off gay people is not confirmed, but the simple act of obstructing LGBT people from doing whatever they want to do is now considered “homophobia” by progressives.   

“For me, growing up in South Central Los Angeles, cruising had a very different meaning. It usually meant folks in their lowriders or their cars, a lot of hip-hop music, just going up down Crenshaw Boulevard,” Council member Soto-Martinez said. “But here in Silver Lake, cruising, of course, meant something very different. It meant an opportunity for the LGBT community to try to find human connection and intimacy and to be able to express themselves in a society at the time that was not very welcoming to the LGBT community.”

The history of “cruising” in the gay community had very little to do with dating and far more to do with anonymous encounters as well as prostitution.  With the advent of more socially accepted gay society in the US in the 1970s, a cultural problem of sexual solicitation and lewdness arose in public bathrooms and public parks in cities across America.  The habit naturally attracted crime to certain areas and is even cited as one of the primary causes for the rapid spread of AIDS in the early 1980s.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Jeopardizes More Support After Celebrating Pederast And Leftist Icon Harvey Milk

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) has made a handful of statements in recent weeks that have exposed his far-left stance on key issues.

A recent example of this, for which he was ripped online heavily for, was when he celebrated pederast and leftist icon Harvey Milk.

“I want to take a moment to celebrate Harvey Milk Day and honor a man whose bravery transformed our society,” RFK wrote on X. “Harvey Milk was a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ rights and the first openly gay individual elected to public office in California.”

He added at the end of his post, “In this time of turmoil and war, let’s honor Harvey Milk by spreading his message of peace and social justice for all.”
