'I think what you're seeing is, I think the athletes are showing patriotism through their community service,' Kerr told reporters ... Kerr admitted that he was 'blown away by the irony of the Eagles being disinvited. When you read about their good deeds in their communities - Malcolm Jenkins addressing lawmakers, really trying to get to the root of some of the issues that we have - and instead we just have these military sing-a-longs at the White House to show how patriotic we are - even though we don't know the words."' NEWS YOU CAN USE IF YOU LIVE IN D.C.: -- It should be sunny and dry in the District today. The Capital Weather Gang forecasts: "Clouds are scarce to start but pop up as the day warms. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s should be comfortable, given the low humidity. Winds are mainly calm." -- The Nationals beat the Rays 11-2.

I'm not too into politics, so I don't know all his other views, but his rhetoric I definitely don't agree with. It hasn't come up here, but I think I already have my mind made up." (AP) -- Virginia GOP Senate candidate Corey Stewart has twice had to disavow white supremacists with whom he associated. From Antonio Olivo: "Most recently, Democrats and supporters of state Del. Nick Freitas (R-Culpeper) - Stewart's chief opponent in Tuesday's primary - have used social media to highlight a 17-month-old video of Stewart calling Paul Nehlen, an alt-right candidate for Congress in Wisconsin, his 'personal hero' .. [The video was shot] before Nehlen posted a host of inflammatory comments on Twitter later in the year. Those posts attacked Muslims and Jews, and one photoshopped the face of 'Cheddar Man,' the dark-skinned man believed to be the first modern Briton, over a picture of Meghan Markle, England's new Du chess of Sus sex." -- Ovetta Wiggins profiles Ben Jealous, who has taken the lead in The Post's most recent poll of Maryland's Democratic gubernatorial candidates: "Jealous, the child of an interracial couple who left Maryland for California because they couldn't be married in their home state, is seeking support from two distinct groups: white liberals who backed Sanders in the 2016 presidential race and African American voters who largely stayed home in 2014 because they were less than inspired by Anthony G. Brown, that year's Democratic gubernatorial nominee." But some worry Jealous, who has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, is too far to the left to Document ID: 0.7.1604.5094 19cv1647-4139-96 defeat Gov. Larry Hogan (R). -- The D.C.

    Case 1:21-cv-01665-TJK Document 1 Filed 06/21/21 Page 1 of 14 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA END CITIZENS UNITED PAC 100 M Street Washington, DC 20003, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. ___________ FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 1050 First Street NE Washington, DC 20463, Defendant. COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 1. Plaintiff End Citizens United (“ECU”) brings this action against the Federal Election Commission (“FEC” or “Commission”) pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(8), challenging as contrary to law the FEC’s dismissal of Plaintiff’s administrative complaint against Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. (the “Trump Campaign”), the former president’s campaign committee. 2. On May 7, 2019, the Trump Campaign issued a public statement that criticized the “dishonest fundraising” practices of certain groups and informed potential donors that only five entities were “authorized” or “approved” by President Trump or the Republican National Committee (the “RNC”): four of those entities were official campaign or party organizations, and the fifth was America First Action—a super PAC. 3. The Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”) and FEC regulations prohibit campaigns from soliciting contributions to super PACs unless certain critical measures are taken to ensure that the solicited contributions do not come from prohibited sources or exceed federal 1 Case 1:21-cv-01665-TJK Document 1 Filed 06/21/21 Page 2 of 14 contribution limits. See 52 U.S.C. § 30125(e); 11 C.F.R. § 300.61. But the Trump Campaign took no such measures in its May 7 solicitation, instead issuing a blanket endorsement of contributions to the “approved” super PAC—contributions that would include corporate and unlimited funds, also known as “soft money,” which federal candidates are banned from soliciting.

The horror stories about the Islamic State’s mass killings at a cavernous hole in the desert near Mosul became legendary over the years.

    ISOJ 2018: Day 2, Morning Keynote Speaker KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Ben Smith Chair: Evan Smith, CEO and Co-Founder, Texas Tribune Keynote Speaker: Ben Smith, Editor-in-Chief, BuzzFeed Ben Smith: Thank you. Thank you for the kind words, Evan. Thanks so much for having me. The downside to not having a PowerPoint presentation is I’m going to stand under this giant picture of myself for five or ten minutes before Evan turns on me. And you know, we’ve talked a little about…. I think I’m just sort of giving a brief intro to how BuzzFeed went from being the world’s leading cat website to doing some journalism that I hope speaks for itself. And I think we are—we remain the world’s leading cat website as well. But we don’t—we don’t shy away from that, but I think that, at this point, the journalism really does speak for itself. And you can read that or watch that story elsewhere. And in particular, we’ve been on a run lately that I feel really good about. If I can boast a little, we broke the “Growth at Any Cost” Facebook memo the other week, and Christopher Steele’s other report on an alleged murder in Washington. And the third big story that we broke just in the last couple of weeks was the one that I thought, for this audience who pays a lot of attention to journalism and to how information travels online, would just be sort of interesting in talking about for a few minutes, because it’s something that I’ve been really troubled by and have been wrestling with over the last couple of weeks.

  • Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy
    The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy Dr. Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article explores how Donald Trump capitalized on the right's decades-long, carefully choreographed and well-financed campaign against political correctness in relation to the broader strategy of 'cultural conservatism.' It provides an historical overview of various iterations of this campaign, discusses the mainstream media's complicity in promulgating conservative talking points about higher education at the height of the 1990s 'culture wars,' examines the reconfigured anti- PC/pro-free speech crusade of recent years, its contemporary currency in the Trump era and the implications for academia and educational policy. Keywords: political correctness, culture wars, free speech, cultural conservatism, critical pedagogy Introduction More than two years after Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House, post-mortems of the 2016 American election continue to explore the factors that propelled him to office. Some have pointed to the spread of right-wing populism in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that culminated in Brexit in Europe and Trump's victory (Kagarlitsky, 2017; Tufts & Thomas, 2017) while Fuchs (2018) lays bare the deleterious role of social media in facilitating the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere. Other 69 | P a g e The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy explanations refer to deep-rooted misogyny that worked against Hillary Clinton (Wilz, 2016), a backlash against Barack Obama, sedimented racism and the demonization of diversity as a public good (Major, Blodorn and Blascovich, 2016; Shafer, 2017).

  • VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP Convention Site in Charlotte, NC
    Aug 24, 2020 View in browser B Y JAKE SHERMAN , ANNA PALMER , GARRETT ROSS A N D E L I O K U N Presented by THE MESSAGE? … VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP convention site in Charlotte, N.C.: “We’re going to make America great again -- again.” Republicans officially nominated President DONALD TRUMP and PENCE for a second term today. THE PRESIDENT visited the site early this afternoon. “Think about your life just prior to the plague," he told the crowd. This week’s schedule and speakers THIS MORNING WAS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE for the legion of political observers who believe some high-profile congressional hearings turn out to be a waste of time. MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE spent the morning lecturing Postmaster General LOUIS DEJOY about the USPS -- oftentimes without asking a single question. When they asked questions, they sometimes sounded like this: Do you believe you need to follow the law? Is your backup plan to be pardoned like Roger Stone, Rep. JIM COOPER (D-Tenn.) asked? Why are the Democrats out to get you, Rep. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio) queried? Why doesn’t this hearing about the USPS include debate about the PPP -- it’s a “waste of time,” Rep. CHIP ROY (R-Texas) said. In addition, the hearing was riddled with technical difficulties. REP. STEPHEN LYNCH (D-Mass.) asked if DEJOY would replace removed sorting machines -- DEJOY said no, but they couldn’t get around to figuring out why, because LYNCH had used up all of his time. MEANWHILE, millions of Americans are wondering if their prescription drugs are going to get delivered, if their mail-in votes will actually be counted and what elected officials are actually doing to make their lives better in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession.

  • Inside Trump's Stunning Upset Victory
    1/4/2017 Inside Trump’s Stunning Upset Victory - POLITICO Magazine AP Photo 2016 Inside Trump’s Stunning Upset Victory ‘Jesus, can we come back from this?’ the nominee asked as his numbers tanked. Because of Clinton, he did. By ALEX ISENSTADT, ELI STOKOLS, SHANE GOLDMACHER and KENNETH P. VOGEL | November 09, 2016 t was Friday afternoon, an hour after America heard Donald Trump bragging on tape I about sexually assaulting women, when Roger Stone’s phone rang. A secretary in Trump’s office had an urgent request: The GOP nominee wanted the political dark-arts operative to resend a confidential memo he had penned less than two weeks earlier. It was a one-page guide on Stone’s favorite line of attack against the Democratic nominee—how to savage Hillary Clinton for Bill Clinton’s history with other women. It was an issue, Stone wrote, that is “NOT about marital infidelity, adultery or ‘indiscretions.’” http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/donald-trump-wins-2016-214438 1/14 1/4/2017 Inside Trump’s Stunning Upset Victory - POLITICO Magazine It was also, however, a political third rail for most conventional candidates—a tactic that Republicans had tested and deemed a failure, and an approach so ugly that even the Clintons’ most vocal detractors urged Trump against. But the GOP nominee, recognizing his crude, abusive comments caught on an Access Hollywood tape as a potential campaign-ender, needed no convincing; he was insulted by the uproar, shocked at the double-standard he felt he was facing compared with Bill Clinton, and decided it was time to return fire.
