Dick Durbin’s claim that Donald Trump referred to “s***hole” non-white countries during a closed door DACA negotiation has lit a fire.
It appears to be part of a strategy from Durbin and Democrats to walk away from a DACA deal unless they get what they want (primarily amnesty without any changes in...
Monday, Professor Jacobson blogged about the plight of Jean-Mario Simon, a woman whose first-class plane ticket was given to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
Simon claims she had to play hardball to get a voucher for her troubles.
A woman named Jean Marie Simon was scheduled to take a United Airlines flight, booked into First Class using miles.
Then she realized that United had bumped her from the seat, and given it to Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
The woman posted a photo on Twitter and also went public with...
Former NAACP activist Rachel Dolezal is quietly selling homemade lollipops from her website.
You may remember Dolezal as the gal responsible for making selective race a national discussion. Dolezal, born of two white parents, masqueraded as a black woman for years saying she self-identified as black.
You may recall our extensive and widely-cite coverage of The Great Oberlin College Racism Hoax of 2013:
A massive racism hoax took place at Oberlin College in February 2013 in which two students made seemingly racist, anti-Semitic and other such posters, graffiti and emails for the purpose of getting a reaction on campus, not because they...
One of the enduring evils of the regressive insistence that all of society’s ills are rooted in racism is their repeated attacks on children. The latest is a relatively innocuous study th...
An Al Sharpton guest has the early lead for today’s most simultaneously inflammatory and nonsensical statement.
Ras Baraka, mayor of Newark, NJ, said that in clamping down on sanctuary cities such as his, the Trump administration is “trying to intimidate us into being what I’ve called fugitive slave catchers.”
Not only is the...
Joy Reid tends to get agitated when a guest doesn’t go in the direction she wants on her MSNBC show.
Mark Finkelstein has featured her antics and those of her guests a number of times:
If the pro-immigration Denk Party has its way in the next election, the Netherlands will receive a “Racism Police” to go after thought and speech crimes. Denk Party, founded a couple of years ago by two former-socialist politicians of Turkish origin, already sits in the Dutch parliament and is banking on the support of country’s growing Muslim...
The courts in Johnson County in Iowa have decided not to charge a University of Iowa student for lying about a hate crime committed against him.
Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness said:
“If we were going to charge him, we could charge a variety of other people with disorderly conduct or different things...
A couple of years ago, the progressive left declared war on the Washington Redskins, or more pointedly, on the use of the word “redskins” in the team’s name. This PC battle fizzled out when
The Yale campus erupted in protests after a claim that a fraternity held a party but allowed in female guests limited to “White Girls Only.”
It started with a Facebook post:
The frat denied the claims:
Notwithstanding a modest consensus that affirmative action is doomed after Wednesday’s arguments in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, there are hints the Court might delay a substantive decision, dissatisfying all parties.
For background on the case, see Legal Insurrection’s preview, here. The full transcript of Wednesday’s oral arguments is here.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is really not having a good year. Her candidates, her colleagues, even the friendly media at MSNBC have all turned on her over the strict limitations she has elected to put on the primary cycle’s debate schedule. Her response to this criticism has been crystal clear: I will not...
This story just keeps getting weirder.
Remember Ahmed Mohamed? He’s the Texas teen who sailed into his (extended) 15 minutes of fame after one of his teachers mistook a “homemade clock” for a homemade bomb.
The Social Justice Warriors rushed to Ahmed’s cause, crying racism; President Obama even invited him to...
I’m glad that I’m late to the story of Ahmed Mohamed, because others have done the work to debunk much of the media narrative of a young tinkerer and inventor wrongly singled out because he is Muslim and abused by police and the school for the crime of “being brown.”
The story...
Yesterday a Texas teenager, who happens to be a Muslim, brought a homemade clock to school and was arrested because the clock was mistaken for a bomb. Some people are blaming racism but zero tolerance policies are the real problem.
NBC News reports that he won’t be charged:
No Charges For Ahmed Mohamed,...
