Ernest Flagler-Mitchell, a legislator from Monroe County, New York, reportedly sexted a 19-year-old girl. He allegedly sent her a graphic picture of his genitals. The news surfaced the same day Flagler-Mitchell was sworn in as president of the New York chapter of the NAACP. He has since claimed that he thought he was sending the photo to his wife. The 19-year-old, LaKaya Sinclair, wrote a letter to the Monroe County board of legislators calling for Flagler-Mitchell’s resignation over the incident. A portion of her letter says, “I am writing this…

President Trump gave his farewell speech to the nation.  That was, by all standards, a “must cover” for any serious news media.  But then, MSNBC and CNN – and all those New York Times and Washington Post panelists – are no longer part of what can be called a news media.  They are the communication arm of the leftwing of the Democratic Party. I was able to hear what Trump had to say because FOX News broadcast it in its entirety.  CNN played carefully selected snippets around which they could…

In doing so, the bank discovered the hazard of praising Keynesian policies in the wrong context. Whether in Germany or the United states, the controversy highlights the ways…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) violated her own rules for the 117th Congress when she called herself “a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter” on the House floor during the debate about President Trump’s second impeachment. “I stand before you today as an officer of the Constitution, as Speaker of the House of Representatives,” Pelosi said. She continued, “I stand before you as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, a daughter whose father proudly served in this Congress.” But just this month, Pelosi and Rules Committee Chairman…

One of the subtext narratives being circulated by the leftwing is that a number of Democrat members of Congress are claiming to have caught Covid-19 from Republican members who were not wearing masks as they sat around a safe room during the height of the Capitol Hill riot.  But did they? First, there has been no direct evidence as to where the members may have caught the virus.  It is only speculation – and may be politically motivated.  The story is making the rounds on the elitist east coast media…
