Juneteenth

As the nation celebrates Juneteenth, the emancipation of enslaved Americans in the U.S., Black Americans across the country continue to commit violent crimes against their own.

On Father's Day, two black Americans were killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago, and over the weekend, in Willowbrooke, a suburb of Chicago, a mass shooting occurred leaving 1 dead and 22 injured.

The shooting occurred at a Juneteenth celebration.

Saluting the Pride Flag…

For decades, the U.S. Military never spoke about homosexuality within its ranks.

"Don't ask, Don't Tell" was the name of the game.

Now, with the rise of the "Woke ideology" around the country, military leaders have been pressed to capitulate to what Gov. Ron DeSantis calls the "woke mob" and has now embraced the controversial ideology in its recruitment propaganda.

DeSantis didn’t challenge Newsom to go one day without using hair products, rather he challenged him to announce his presidential bid against President Joe Biden.

First, it was the Air Force promoting an airman saluting a Pride flag, not the Army is pushing books about LGBTQ for kids.

Meanwhile, Russia and China are laughing at the U.S. and continue to expand their military reach around the world. READ MORE

Rep. Frederica Wilson-In honor of Father’s Day, make sure to join us this Thursday at 3 PM to honor the fathers of the Congressional Black Caucus at our fatherhood briefing with the Caucus on the Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys.

Rep. Anna V. Eskamani -The United Nations General Assembly designated the International Day on Countering Hate Speech as June 18th. Today and everyday at Team Anna, we condemn any and all hate speech.

Ron DeSantis-Good on the thousands who showed up at Dodger Stadium to protest this anti-Catholic hate group.

The virtually empty stadium for the game itself was a powerful image – Americans are fed up with the nonsense and are fighting back.

Matt Gaetz-Today’s Harvard-Harris Poll is the best data for President Trump yet.

He essentially has the same hold on the GOP nomination that Biden has on his party’s nod.

And Trump surging again in the General Election - far stronger than DeSantis.

There has been much talk of DEFUNDING Jack Smith……

…..but…..hear me out…..maybe we should DOUBLE his budget instead?
