Race Baiting Politicians Are Trying To Push For Reparations AGAIN

There are many ways in which the House of Representatives is feeling the effects of the absence of former Congresswoman Cori Bush. You might remember that Cori Bush was the only member of Congress in the history of this country who claimed to have performed a bona fide miracle while in office. Specifically, in a televised interview, Bush said that she once cured a woman’s cancer simply by placing her hands on the woman’s body. As she put it: “This [homeless] lady came to us, and she had these tumors, and she wanted us to like, feel them. … I laid hands on her and prayed, and then I felt that my hand was no longer touching a tumor. It shrank along with the others on her body. … And the lumps that were there were no longer there. She was so happy, and she went on about her day.”

It’s too bad that this homeless woman disappeared, because this kind of interaction seems like the thing that cancer researchers might have been interested in following up on. But in any event, Bush didn’t stop there, because as we all know, you need *two* miracles in order to qualify for sainthood. Normally, these miraculous events occur after the saint has died. But Bush doesn’t have time for that. Therefore, she claimed that she also once helped a toddler take her first steps in St. Louis, even though the child was gravely ill. “I carried the child from the prayer room in the back of the church out into the sanctuary . . . ‘Walk,’ I said gently to the three-year-old girl, ‘You will walk.’ And this girl took her first step,” Bush wrote.

Because Bush was voted out of office in the last election, unfortunately, we don’t hear stories like this anymore. Therefore, until Jesus himself returns, we can assume that countless hobos in St. Louis will continue to suffer needlessly from cancer and all kinds of other horrible afflictions. But despite that sad reality, it’s not all bad news. Consider the fact that, without Cori Bush’s voice to amplify them, a lot of fraudulent BLM narratives will die before they get started. We also won’t have to listen to her tributes to Michael Brown and George Floyd every year. So that’s something, at least. Yes, we’ve lost a miracle worker. But we’ve gained some peace and quiet.

Or at least, we thought we gained some peace and quiet. At the moment, there is a concerted effort underway among House Democrats to revive the “legacy” of Cori Bush, such as it is. But they’re not revising the whole “bid for sainthood” routine. Instead, they’re doubling down on Cori Bush’s true passion in life, which is whipping up a race war. And to that end, Democrats are revitalizing one of Bush’s dumbest ideas, which is her plan to enact trillions of dollars in reparations.

Quoting from The Hill: “A coalition of Democratic lawmakers and advocates on Thursday reintroduced a resolution to offer reparations to descendants of enslaved Africans and people of African descent. Representative Summer Lee led the reintroduction of the Reparations Now resolution, which was first introduced in 2023 by former Representative Cori Bush. The resolution calls for the federal government to allocate trillions of dollars in reparations to Black Americans.”

Keep in mind, the entire federal budget for the last fiscal year was around $7 trillion. So we’re talking about spending a very significant chunk of the federal budget on handouts to black people, essentially. And on top of these trillions of dollars in reparations, Cory Booker and Jasmine Crockett are planning to introduce the “Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Commission Act,” which would supposedly “acknowledge and memorialize the arrival of the first slave ship in the United States and the injustices suffered by people of color throughout history.”

Here are Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee to explain. And I promise these clips aren’t sped up in any way, at least as far as I know. They’re simply talking really, really fast for some reason. Watch:

Now, before we go any further with the specifics of this legislation, I have to provide something of a disclosure at this point. We’ve talked about the issue of reparations many times on this show, to be sure. But now I have a very personal stake in the issue. And that’s because recently, and somewhat unexpectedly — and I say this with nothing but modesty in my heart — I have become something of a pioneer when it comes to the issue of reparations in the United States. In fact, according to all available information, I am the only person in America who has actually paid reparations, along with the famed author Robin DiAngelo.

Now, you might point out that I was undercover doing a movie when I paid my reparations. And you might point out that I took my reparations back immediately after the cameras were off. And you might point out that my reparations were like $20. And all of that’s true. But it’s not the important thing to keep in mind here. The important thing is that I’m an expert in this issue, and therefore, I have no choice but to chime in and provide my analysis.

And with that in mind, the first thing that needs to be said is that, if we really want “reparations” for the descendants of slaves, then we’re going to spend a lot more than a few trillion dollars. That’s because every single person who’s alive right now on the planet, if you go back far enough, has ancestors who were slaves. Period, no exceptions. The Romans alone enslaved millions of people from all over the world. So did Egypt, Greece, China, the Persians, the Russians, the Mayans, the Aztecs, and Ottomans, and so on.

And that’s not even getting into indentured servitude. Take a look at what happened to Irish Catholics in the 17th century in places like Barbados, for example. Technically, many of these Irishmen became “indentured servants,” not slaves. But in many cases, that meant that they were treated even worse than slaves, since they weren’t expected to work for their entire lives. Roughly half of them died within four years, by some estimates. As the researcher Michael Mahoney pointed out: “John Scott, an English adventurer who travelled in the West Indies during the Commonwealth, saw Irish servants working in field gangs with slaves, ‘without stockings under the scorching sun’. The Irish, he wrote, were ‘derided by the negroes, and branded with the Epithet of ‘white slaves.” … Once in the Caribbean, many plantation owners considered servants and freemen from Ireland as a potentially subversive lot who had to be controlled and kept in a labouring status. Punishments for attempted escapes included branding the letters ‘FT’ (Fugitive Traitor) on the servant’s forehead. One assembly member in Barbados is quoted in 1667 as stating, ‘We have more than a good many Irish amongst us, therefore I am for the downright Scott, who I am certain will fight without a crucifix about his neck.'”

In other words, there’s obvious anti-Catholic bigotry at work here, and in many cases, these Irish servants were treated far worse than slaves as they worked alongside them. And this is just one of dozens more examples. Here’s another. Did you know that, in 1797, 20% of the U.S. federal budget — a total of one million dollars at the time — went to paying tribute to Muslim nations in North Africa, so that they’d stop enslaving white people? This was a big business for them; in total, they enslaved more than a million whites from both Europe and the United States. This was during the Barbary Wars. For context, today, we don’t spend anywhere near 20% of the U.S. budget on defense spending. But in 1797, we spent 20% of the budget on ransom payments to Algiers. And as we did so, the Africans made sure to mock Americans at every opportunity. The tribute was ultimately ferried to Constantinople by the frigate USS George Washington, and along the way, the Africans forced the American warship to fly an Ottoman flag. This was sadistic brutality at every level. They only stopped enslaving white people when they were forced to do so.

These are chapters from American history that you don’t hear much about. Certainly, smooth-brained race hustlers like Ayanna Pressley won’t mention any of this. That’s because, as always, their goal isn’t actually to have a serious discussion about reparations — to the extent it’s even possible to do so. They know that this resolution has no chance of passing in either chamber of Congress, much less being signed into law. They know that this is a purely performative piece of legislation that’s intended to stoke racial conflict, and enrage as many people as possible so that they’ll feel entitled and envious. And then they might finally start rioting, as Democrats desperately want them to do.

Of course, indirect, inexplicit reparations have already been paid — in the form of DEI policies, affirmative action, the welfare state, and every other policy put in place in the name of white guilt. Most of the federal government is a kind of make-work program for certain demographics, to funnel them taxpayer money without any accountability. And we see what good all of that has done for the black community. But explicit reparations — the kind where black Americans get money simply for being black Americans — will almost certainly never happen. From a political perspective, it’s not feasible. This is yet another failed idea from the Cori Bush playbook, one among many.

At the same time, it’s interesting to note that this legislation comes at the very moment that white South Africans are fleeing their homeland, seeking refuge in the United States. They’re being forcibly evicted from their own homes solely because of their skin color, as we’ve discussed several times this week. And you know what that means: There’s about to be a lot more room in Africa for any supposedly oppressed group in the United States, including congresswomen like Ayanna Pressley. So maybe there’s an opportunity here for a kind of “reparation through repatriation.” Maybe we can offer some of these Democrats a taxpayer-funded, all-expenses-paid trip to whatever lands their ancestors came from. Since we’re judging everyone by their ancestors, it seems more than appropriate. Plus, they’ll gain access to plenty of fertile farmland in South Africa, as Don Lemon often reminds us. The opportunity for untold riches, in a land totally devoid of white people, is right there for the taking.

Will Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee and all of these other Democrats seize that opportunity? Of course not. That’s because they know that, when given the opportunity, they can’t govern. They can’t improve anyone’s lives. They certainly can’t manage a farm. All they’re capable of doing is demonizing white people and looting the treasury. And without white people to demonize, there won’t be any money to loot. That’s why “reparations” is a losing issue for Democrats. It’s also why South Africa is about to collapse entirely. And it’s why, as more Americans wake up to the reality of what’s happening, politicians like Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee and Ilhan Omar will go the way of Cori Bush. They’ll be removed from Congress by the voters. That is the outcome these anti-white politicians are apparently clamoring for. And now that they’ve introduced this reparations bill once again, and made it clear they have no interest in representing all Americans regardless of race, we should give it to them.

Former FBI Director Headed To Jail For Threatening Trump?

Remember James Comey, the former FBI director, who presented the so-called Steele dossier to President Trump, and then that dossier just happened to leak into public view?

That dossier suggested President Trump wasn’t just a Russian cat’s paw, it claimed he was actually having affairs with prostitutes in Moscow and doing all sorts of crazy stuff.

Comey presented that to Trump, and then, magically, it just happened to emerge in the press very soon after.

Comey was also the FBI director who let Hillary Clinton off the hook for the mishandling of classified documents — a precedent that would then be used for every subsequent president so they could mishandle classified documents. He deliberately misread a statute to let Hillary Clinton off the hook.

But then, just before the 2016 election, he announced that there would be a further investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information, leading Democrats to believe that he threw the election to Donald Trump. 

Needless to say, he was a terrible FBI director, from soup to nuts. Then, in his post-FBI director career, he decided to become a giant weirdo who wandered around forests.

I’m not kidding. That’s what he does. 

He is the world’s worst Instagram influencer. 

James Comey is a person who likes to stand in random places and take contemplative pictures of the things around him and then post them.

So why is James Comey relevant? Because on Thursday, he put up a post on his Instagram, and it was another one of these contemplative posts or would-be contemplative posts.

Except this one got him in a little bit of trouble.

He wrote on Instagram, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” accompanied by a photo of shells arranged to read 86 47.

Now, you might be thinking, “What are we watching? Lost? What do these numbers mean? Why are these numbers important?”

And then you realize, “Wait a moment, 47 would be Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States, and the number 86 could mean a couple of things. Originally, to “86”  someone meant to throw them out of a bar or restaurant or to cancel a password. It’s sort of like the expression “deep six.”

But there’s another meaning: to kill. To kill the president. Not to get rid of the president, but to kill him.

The second meaning is how the Secret Service interpreted it. They said you are not allowed to threaten the president in public media. That is a violation of the U.S code.

The entire White House came down on Comey. 

Taylor Rutledge the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, wrote on X, “While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI Director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States—a message etched in the sand.  This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.”

Donald Trump Jr. signed in to say, “Just James Comey casually calling for my dad to be murdered.” 

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped into Comey, saying, “Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of President Trump.

DHS and Secret Service are investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.” Trump’s top advisor, Stephen Miller, added, “As the former FBI director, and key leader of the deep state, Comey’s call for assassination — while the president is abroad no less — is a chilling escalation of the war against our democracy by a faction committed to its destruction.”

Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, didn’t want to get lost in the shuffle, so he put out a statement saying, “We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.”

President Trump commented, “He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you’re the FBI director and you don’t know what that meant, that meant ‘assassination.’ And it says it loud and clear. Now, he wasn’t very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant. And he did it for a reason. And he was hit so hard because people like me, and they like what’s happening with our country. Our country’s become respected again. … And he’s calling for the assassination of the president. “

“I don’t want to take a position on it, because that’s going to be up to Pam (Bondi) and all of the great people,” Trump continued. “But I will say this: I think it’s a terrible thing. And when you add his history to that, if he had a clean history — he doesn’t, he’s a dirty cop, he’s a dirty cop — and if he had a clean history, I could understand if there was a leniency, but I’m going to let them make that decision.”

When President Trump says “dirty cop,” what he means is that James Comey was presiding over the FBI when the Hillary Clinton Fusion GPS scam document that initiated the entire Russiagate investigation was basically laundered by the Hillary Clinton campaign via the intelligence apparatus to the FBI.

He means all of Russiagate can basically be laid at the feet of James Comey. 

Comey apologized, saying, ‘I posted earlier a picture of some shows I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down.”

He’s claiming ignorance on all this.

A few things right off the bat. First of all, President Trump was nearly assassinated twice last year, so we should take very seriously threats of violence against the president of the United States. He nearly had his head blown off on national TV. And then he was nearly assassinated again by a person who was sitting outside of his golf course in Florida and was waiting for him to get to a particular hole so he could kill him. And then, of course, we know that the Iranians were also attempting to assassinate President Trump. 

It’s not as though there is a shortage of threats on the president’s life. We also know that members of the radical Left despise President Trump, and there would be few tears shed by many of those people if, God forbid, something were to happen to President Trump.

So in that sort of climate, what Comey says there is indeed pretty bad. Is it prosecutable? Did Comey actually mean it?

This takes us to the edge of the stupidity versus malice conversation. As I’ve said very frequently, I generally like to attribute people’s motivations when they do something wrong to stupidity rather than malice unless there is solid counter-evidence.

At the very least, what Comey did was incredibly stupid. And James Comey is an incredibly stupid guy. Just recall his tweets standing on a road in the middle of Iowa and standing in a forest.

It isn’t all that hard for me to believe he thought 86 47 meant to get rid of Trump as opposed to killing President Trump. 

On the other hand, could he be malicious? Could he hate President Trump enough that he would openly call for that? 

You would have to assume at least a level of stupidity where the former FBI director does not know enough about the law to understand that if you openly threaten the president of the United States on social media, the Secret Service is going to come knocking at your door. That would be the truest level of stupidity and malice: to want to kill Trump, but be stupid enough to post it online knowing that he’s probably going to go to jail for it.

That would be the top level of both stupidity and malice. If he were at the top level of malice, then presumably he wouldn’t just post something about it. If he were at the top level of stupidity, he would post something about it and then walk it back. 

The bottom line is this with regard to James Comey: Is the Justice Department going to take this very far?

It is certainly true that many of the people who are currently going after James Comey are people who also feel specifically targeted by folks like James Comey, including the current FBI director, Kash Patel.

So it will be fascinating to see exactly how this plays out.
