A self-styled “anti-racist scholar-practitioner and facilitator” who makes outlandish claims about racism in Matt Walsh’s latest film, “Am I Racist?”, is now railing against the documentary, calling it a “piece of s***.” Dr. Katie Slater suggests in the film that it’s problematic and racist to let three-year-old white girls dress as the Disney character Moana for Halloween since the character is not white. The clip of her interaction with Walsh, who is pretending to agree with Slater’s far-Left racial ideology, has gone viral online. And Slater is none too pleased. “This piece of s*** film comes out on Friday,” she wrote on Instagram, “and if you’re wondering why I’ve been off the radar, it’s because I have an inbox full of angry white men who are incensed that I don’t let my daughter dress as Moana for Halloween.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Walsh published a screenshot of the Instagram post and quipped that Slater should be proud of her part in the film. “The woman in this clip, Kate Slater, is speaking out about our film,” he wrote on X. “She calls it a ‘piece of s***’ and says she’s gone ‘off the radar.’ Her X account has also been deleted.” “I think she should be more proud of her pivotal role in the film,” Walsh added. “We couldn’t have done it without her.” The woman in this clip, Kate Slater, is speaking out about our film.

She’s still watching Disney movies and she’s choosing a white princess over princesses of color,” Slater complains to Walsh, during the film. “Have you talked to her about that?” Walsh responds. “All the time,” Slater says, sounding exhausted. Walsh then says his 3-year-old daughter loves the character Moana, who is a Pacific Islander, and Slater agrees this is a “good sign.” But there are also racial problems with Walsh’s daughter liking Moana so much, according to Slater. The activist argues that it would be racially problematic for his white daughter to dress up as Moana, a character “of color,” for Halloween. “Do I go and buy the Pacific Islander native attire for my white three-year-old?” Walsh asks the anti-racist scholar. “Um, I wouldn’t,” Slater responds. “I f***ing wouldn’t.” “No matter which way you go, you end up back at racism,” Walsh sums up Slater’s views. “We think every space belongs to us, because we live in a white supremacist society,” she explains, before confirming to Walsh that America is an “inherently racist” nation.

Census data released Thursday showed Americans are less well off than they were four years ago. Across the board, average household income was down by $1,221 after taking into account inflation, according to the Annual Community Survey, whose 2023 numbers were released by the Census Bureau on Thursday. The portion of households with income of less than $10,000 in 2023 grew by a full percentage point compared to 2019, from 4.3% to 5.3%. Fewer American households are making $75,000 or more per year, once past earnings are put into 2023 dollars that factor in inflation spurred by massive government spending. Compared to 2019, the percentage of households making $150,000 to $200,000 has dropped 0.2%, while the share making more than that remained the same. The Census figures deal a blow to Vice President Kamala Harris, whose presidential campaign is built on a pledge that Harris will fight inflation. Former President Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly criticized Harris for making this pledge, noting that inflation has skyrocketed during the Biden-Harris administration, which has done little to correct the problem. Inflation has hit those on fixed incomes particularly hard. Social Security checks don’t go as far, and retirement income averaged $31,482 —which, after adjusting for inflation, is $2,450 less than the average retirement income in 2019. Meanwhile, significantly more Americans are reliant on government handouts, with the share of households on food stamps rising from 10.7% to 12.2% — something that didn’t improve the poverty figures, since it was counted as income. Another Census metric that measures poverty after taking into account government assistance received, called the “supplementary poverty measure,” found that the percentage of people in poverty has increased in each year of the Biden administration, rising in 2022 and 2023. In 2019–during the Trump administration and before the coronavirus pandemic–38.3 million people were in poverty. In 2023, it was 42.8 million. The poverty rate went down in 2020 and 2021 because of a wave of massive government handouts resulting from the government shutting down the economy because of the virus, but the long-term result suggests that they didn’t help; instead, they created inflation that ultimately made more people poor. They also suggest that government giveaways that continued under the Biden-Harris administration, such as student loan forgiveness, did not contribute to a reduction in poverty. The Census Bureau said 2023 also saw “the largest annual real increase in rental costs since at least 2011,” referring to the amount that renters paid to live in their home plus utilities. Rents went up by 3.8% last year, double the increase in 2019 and nearly four times the increase in 2017. The figures directly contradict the Harris campaign’s claim that “Vice President Harris has always stood up for renters” and that rents would drop if she were elected president, while “Trump would raise rents.” Meanwhile, families have been saddled with hefty costs, increasingly finding it necessary to pay for private school after public schools gave into union pressure to shutter during COVID and lowered standards in the name of “equity.” The percentage of K-12 students in private schools rose from 10.3% in 2017 to 12.8% in 2023. The data also undercut figures showing a slight improvement in the employment rate. Although employment rose by 0.1% since 2019, that rate only counts those who want to work; the same amount have given up looking for work entirely, and are therefore not counted in the unemployment rate. Additionally, the Biden-Harris administration has boosted the employment rate by creating government jobs, even though the spending that entails contributes to inflation that harms the economy. The percentage of workers who were government workers rose from 14% to 14.4% since 2019. Related: Blue Vs.

In a tragic incident early Wednesday morning, an Israeli Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a medical evacuation mission in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah, killing two Israeli soldiers and injuring eight others. The UH-60 Black Hawk, from the Israeli Air Force’s 123rd Squadron, was attempting to land at an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) encampment to evacuate a seriously injured combat engineer when it crashed. The two soldiers killed in the crash were identified as Sgt. Maj. Daniel Alloush, 37, from Tel Aviv, and Sgt. Maj. Tom Ish-Shalom, 38, from Nes Harim. Both were members of the reserve forces and part of the medical rescue team, Unit 669, that had been deployed for the evacuation mission. The helicopter was conducting a rescue operation for a wounded combat engineer involved in the ongoing conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas. 10 tentara Israel TEWAS setelah helikopter UH-60 Black Hawk milik Angkatan Udara Israel (IAF) jatuh di Jalur Gaza selatan tadi malam. pic.twitter.com/T6hutY3Jf1 — SW News – SOFT WAR NEWS (@SoftWarNews) September 11, 2024 According to military officials, the crash was not caused by enemy fire, and initial reports suggest the helicopter impacted the ground incorrectly during its final descent. The crash occurred at around 12:30 a.m. within the confines of the Israeli encampment, allowing for an immediate response that likely saved more lives. However, some of the injured soldiers, including the helicopter’s pilots and mechanics, remain in critical condition​. This incident marks the first downing of a Black Hawk helicopter in the Gaza conflict, which has now entered its eleventh month. The helicopter had been deployed as part of Israel’s intensive military operations in Gaza, where fighting has escalated. The IDF has been conducting continuous airstrikes and ground operations against Hamas, resulting in significant casualties on both sides​. The helicopter has been identified as a UH-60 Black Hawk, likely belonging to a medical evacuation unit. Israeli media has described the incident as a 'disaster' for the Air Force.#Syria #Iran #Ukrain #Israel #Russia #Kurska #Kursk #Hezbollah #lebanon #Gaza pic.twitter.com/wWDjPm7sph — OsintWorld (@OsiOsint1) September 11, 2024 The crash has drawn comparisons to the infamous "Black Hawk Down" incident in Somalia in 1993, though the circumstances differ significantly. While that incident occurred in a hostile urban environment, the Rafah crash happened within a military base, minimizing the potential for further casualties. Still, the crash adds to the mounting toll of the war, which has seen numerous Israeli soldiers killed or injured in action​. Israeli authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash. While the Black Hawk is a reliable workhorse of the Israeli Air Force, mechanical issues or operational errors are being considered. The incident is a somber reminder of the risks that even highly trained rescue teams face in war zones​. The loss of the two soldiers has sent shockwaves through Israel, where the IDF plays a critical role in defending the nation. Support for the families of the fallen soldiers has poured in from across the country, with military and civilian organizations rallying to provide assistance. The incident also highlights the ongoing dangers faced by military personnel, especially during complex and hazardous missions like medical evacuations​. As the conflict in Gaza drags on, the helicopter crash serves as yet another grim chapter in a war that shows no signs of abating. With both sides continuing to exchange fire, the human cost continues to climb, deepening the tragedy of a conflict that has claimed thousands of lives.

Some restaurants are more unique than others, but few are quite like the one in this viral video. Here, patrons may find themselves in need of durable rain boots — but not because it’s raining, necessarily. That’s because, despite the flooding in Venice, there’s still the option to sit outdoors in the courtyard. As strange as this may sound, residents of Venice have grown quite accustomed to periods where the flooding is this bad. That’s why you will often find that everyone seems totally unbothered. Both patrons and the waiters simply go about their day, a detail that has no doubt contributed to this video going viral. See it for yourself below! @tiktokvenezia Acqua alta a Venezia #venice #venezia #tiktokvenezia #italia #italy ♬ suono originale – tiktokvenezia “The way the waitress just casually walks through the water,” someone points out in the comments, with another adding, “Finally, a bar floor I don’t have to mop at the end of a shift!!!” It seems this footage was taken in an area of Venice called Piazza San Marco. This gorgeous area is popular with tourists and residents alike, no matter the flooding, as shown above. But how does it get like this? Despite Flooding, Residents and Tourists of Venice Find Creative Ways to Adapt Wikimedia Commons “Acqua Alta,” or “high water” refers to the frequent flooding the city experiences. Although the city is not always flooded, high tides and low atmospheric pressure are said to be contributing factors. As a result, the city has been forced to find ways to live with this peculiar problem. Luckily, this city and its resilient residents have been taking on this challenge for quite some time, often finding some of the most creative ways to adapt. How cool is that? “But why does this look so artistic to me,” someone else shares, with another adding, “Was there when this happens. Lots of rain mixed with high tide made for a very wet day. But we had a blast!!!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
