'Don't you ever argue with a Kardashian'

The Regime Media have a long, sordid history of looking the other way at stories that fail to advance their narratives or otherwise make Democrats in power look bad. But some stories are so bad that they break through anyway. Case in point: the toddler recently found at the southern border along with a bunch of other unaccompanied minors.  Per The New York Post: A 2-year-old migrant girl was found at the US border Sunday clutching a piece of paper with just a first name and phone number on it — becoming the heart-rending symbol of the Biden administration’s abject failure to protect the most vulnerable of asylum-seekers. The child from El Salvador, clad in a bright pink jacket, was among a group of more than 200 illegal migrants — including 60 unaccompanied minors — detained after crossing the border into Maverick County, Texas, authorities said. Footage of the little girl outraged pols in sanctuary city New York and beyond who ripped President Biden and “border czar” Vice President Kamala Harris over the nation’s immigration debacle. Such a story would have garnered top billing during the first Trump Administration, along with caterwauling over the cruelty of such border policy and wailing in sackcloth over family separation. But, alas, not a peep on NBC, Univision, CBS, or ABC- which instead teased its Elton John documentary. NBC refused to bump its jihad against raw milk in order to cover the abandoned toddler. Corporate partner Telemundo, however was the sole outlet to air the story on its evening newscast: NOTICIAS TELEMUNDO 11/25/24 6:40 PM VANESSA HAUC: A girl who was only two years old was found on the southern border without any adult in charge of her, and along with about 60 minors. Crossings by unaccompanied children and adolescents have increased in recent weeks, as has happened during other changes in administration. But this time the young age of this little girl is surprising, as Francisco Cuevas tells us.  BORDER PATROL: Venezuela, mama? Venezuela? Yeah? How old are you? UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Two. BORDER PATROL: Two? FRANCISCO CUEVAS: She is a little Salvadoran girl, only two years old, and was part of a group of more than 200 migrants intercepted in the Eagle Pass area by the Texas Department of Public Safety, who provided this video. What untold horrors was this baby exposed to en route to the southern border- a border opened wide by the outgoing administration? A media interested in finding facts and doing journalism would’ve found those answers. This embarrassment of a Regime Media instead suppresses the story. Perhaps they, too, are embarrassed by what they’ve enabled.

Crossings by unaccompanied children and adolescents have increased in recent weeks, as has happened during other changes in administration. But this time the young age of this little girl is surprising, as Francisco Cuevas tells us.  BORDER PATROL: Venezuela, mama? Venezuela? Yeah? How old are you? UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Two. BORDER PATROL: Two? FRANCISCO CUEVAS: She is a little Salvadoran girl, only two years old, and was part of a group of more than 200 migrants intercepted in the Eagle Pass area by the Texas Department of Public Safety, who provided this video. 60 of the children, according to authorities, were between two and 17 years old and were unaccompanied minors. BORDER PATROL: Venezuela? Where are you going, mama?  UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: With my mom and dad. BORDER PATROL: Where are they? UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: United States.  ERICK ESTRADA: The kids were coming, right? No blankets. They came without sweaters. CUEVAS: Sergeant Erick Estrada with the Texas Department of Public Safety told Noticias Telemundo that these cases have increased in recent weeks. ESTRADA: It is something that I have seen personally and really, well, children come in conditions that honestly one does not want to see. UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: I come from El Salvador and I'm going to Boston. CUEVAS: This area of ​​Eagle Pass is where the majority of unaccompanied minor crossings have been recorded recently. But the authorities are surprised by the increasingly younger age of many of these minors who, according to the authorities, are introduced by coyotes through the dangerous Rio Grande River abandoned on American soil. UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: My name is Sharon. BORDER PATROL: How old are you, mama? UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Four years old. BORDER PATROL: How old?  UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Four years old.  BORDER PATROL: Four years old? CHRISTINA SMALLWOOD: The thing that is most important for us is to verify that everyone is in good health. They are provided with medical care if needed. CUEVAS: But in the border cities where these encounters are taking place, there is concern about the risk to which these children are being subjected.  NORMA PIMENTEL: Letting themselves come with the hope that they want to enter this country does not guarantee that they will be able to enter and that they will be able to stay. So I would like them to take into account the serious consequences that exist for them. CUEVAS: Texas is increasing surveillance to prevent more images like this. Governor Greg Abbott will be visiting Eagle Pass tomorrow with newly appointed border czar Tom Homan, in search of new strategies. Francisco Cuevas, Noticias Telemundo.  

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is facing a new commonsense challenger who is running on a pledge to make the streets of New York City safe by prosecuting criminals once again.Maud Maron, a former Legal Aid attorney, is seeking to remove Bragg from office in his re-election bid next year. 'Most of us can remember living in a much safer city, and we want that city back.'Two years ago, Maron ran for Congress as a Democrat but did not win her race. After her campaign, she switched her registration to independent and then, in October 2023, registered as a Republican, the New York Post reported. During her time as a member of District 2's Community Education Council, Maron has spoken out against "gender ideology indoctrination" and boys competing in girls' sports.Maron believes that New Yorkers on both sides of the political aisle are fed up with Bragg's soft-on-crime policies that have jeopardized public safety.She pledged to prosecute criminals regardless of an individual's race, religion, or immigration status and repeal Bragg's "Day One memo," which instructed his staff not to prosecute certain crimes, including resisting arrest. The memo also directed prosecutors to treat some major felonies as misdemeanors.Maron told Blaze News, "Just over the past few days, there were three stabbings across Manhattan. As a criminal defense lawyer, I advocated for my clients, and Manhattan needs an advocate now more than ever. Our communities need someone who will fight for everyone. From school children to seniors and underserved communities to small-business owners, all of us deserve a safe and prosperous New York City. Most of us can remember living in a much safer city, and we want that city back."She vowed to establish a special unit that would work in collaboration with the New York Police Department to tackle homeless issues and ensure the removal of violent individuals who are emotionally disturbed from the streets.Maron intends to fully leverage the mental health resources at the DA office's disposal and establish a special unit for the New York City Housing Authority. Additionally, her plans include the recruitment of more racket investigators and detective investigators.Maron also hopes to work with the state to repeal or rework the cashless bail reform and "raise the age" law.This week, Maron appeared on "Fox & Friends First" to discuss her upcoming campaign."I think, at this point, it's really not about party; it's about who has the best policies and who has the best ideas and who can really say, 'We will prioritize keeping New Yorkers safe,'" she stated.Maron noted that the city has experienced a 30% uptick in crime since 2019."That's notwithstanding the fact that some people are so fed up with the response that they get that they don't even call in crimes," Maron continued. "You're not going to call the police because you know Alvin Bragg isn't going to prosecute that case."She stressed that her message to voters is simple: We need to prosecute crime. "We need to support the law enforcement that we have in the city to do the job they can do, and we need to build a society where you can walk into a pharmacy and pick something off the shelf because our rules are designed to protect the law-abiders, not the lawbreakers," Maron added.Like Blaze News?

In what is becoming an annual event, meat-eaters and others excoriated the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals over its bizarre ad trying to persuade Americans against serving meat for Thanksgiving dinner. 'Why are they accusing normal people of being bird molesters?'This year's installment included a sexualized cartoon message that appeared to compare stuffing a turkey to lascivious private activities. "Let's open up those legs!" said a nefarious-looking father figure while holding the turkey. "And stuff it ... all the way!" responded a mother figure with her hand inside the turkey. Behind them, mixed-race children replied, "Gross!" and "EW!" "When you say it out loud, it’s clear this ‘norm’ isn’t normal," the group added. "If stuffing a turkey feels wrong, that's because it is." The cartoon was widely mocked online. “We have a biracial couple sexually assault a turkey in front of the children and family dog," read a very popular reply. "Peta is disgusting. Why are they accusing normal people of being bird molesters?" read another response. "It's nice that PETA's social media accounts are run by weirdos who think people f*** turkeys before Thanksgiving," said another detractor. "Gotta appreciate PETA's commitment to racial equity and inclusion whilst accusing us all of being turkey rapists," said another critic. Others noted that by making the family inclusive, PETA accidentally cast aspersions on diverse families. "PETA the first company to portray a mixed race couple as bad people," read one popular response. "Big shout to PETA for being the first company since Jim Crow to portray a mixed race couple as the bad guys," said another account. In previous years, the group was similarly ridiculed for posting a cartoon showing a turkey stuffing a human being. And for Easter, the group asked first lady Jill Biden to remove real eggs from the traditional White House Easter egg roll. Despite PETA's best efforts, about 46 million turkeys are devoured each year on Thanksgiving by Americans. Like Blaze News?

Few public and private institutions proved resistant in recent years to infection by the race-obsessive ideology underpinning the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement. The body politic appears, however, to be experiencing a belated immune response. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision last year in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard/UNC, for instance, helped pave the way for the dismantling of DEI on college and university campuses nationwide. Lawsuits and federal civil rights complaints targeting companies' DEI initiatives immediately followed. Likely keen to avoid similar legal challenges and facing pressure from normalcy advocates, multiple American organizations once captive to the race-obsessed program, including Ford, Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply, Jack Daniel's, and Walmart, have abandoned DEI. A study published Monday by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University provided strong justification for why Americans should dismantle the remainder of the DEI regime sooner rather than later, noting that race-obsessed programming is divisive, counterproductive, and helps create authoritarians. 'Some DEI programs not only fail to achieve their goals but can actively undermine efforts.' The study, titled "Instructing Animosity: How DEI Pedagogy Produces the Hostile Attribution Bias," noted at the outset that a Pew Research Center study found in 2023 that over half of American workers have DEI meetings or trainings at work. While the re-education that the majority of American workers are compelled to undergo is supposedly intended to increase empathy in interpersonal interactions, cultivate inclusive environments, and maximize diversity on the basis of immutable characteristics and sexual preferences, the study indicated that there is evidence to suggest "that some DEI programs not only fail to achieve their goals but can actively undermine efforts." "Specifically, mandatory trainings that focus on particular target groups can foster discomfort and perceptions of fairness," said the study. "DEI initiatives seen as affirmative action rather than business strategy can provoke backlash, increasing rather than reducing racial resentment. And diversity initiatives aimed at managing bias can fail, sometimes resulting in decreased representation and triggering negativity among employees." The researchers collected various DEI education materials used across three groupings — race, religion, and caste — in "interventional and educational settings," excerpted rhetoric from the materials, then employed the excerpts in psychological surveys "measuring explicit bias, social distancing, demonization, and authoritarian tendencies." Participants in the study were also tasked with reviewing the materials or neutral control materials. The results were damning. The researchers found that across all three groupings, participants "engendered a hostile attribution bias, amplifying perceptions of prejudicial hostility where none was present, and punitive responses to the imaginary prejudice." In one test, researchers split 423 Rutgers University students into two groups. One group read an apolitical control essay about American corn production while the other read an essay incorporating racist CRT propaganda from Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. After each group completed reading their assigned materials, participants were presented with a "racially neutral scenario" — where a student's application to an elite East Coast university was rejected following his interview by an admissions officer — and asked questions about their perceptions of racism in the interaction. The scenario did not mention the race of either the hypothetical student or the admissions officer. 'Exposure to anti-oppressive narratives can increase the endorsement of the type of demonization and scapegoating characteristic of authoritarianism.' The group previously provided with propaganda from Kendi and DiAngelo reportedly "developed a hostile attribution bias ... perceiv[ing] the admissions officer as significantly more prejudiced than did those who read the neutral corn essay." According to the researchers, "Participants exposed to the anti-racist rhetoric perceived more discrimination from the admissions officer (~21%), despite the complete absence of evidence of discrimination. They believed the admissions officer was more unfair to the applicant (~12%), had caused more harm to the applicant (~26%), and had committed more microaggressions (~35%)." Simply put, Kendi and DiAngelo had students seeing racism and unfairness that wasn't there. In the other groupings, participants provided DEI materials similarly turned out nastier than the control group. For instance, in the caste study, Adolf Hitler quotes resonated with participants who were exposed to DEI materials when the word "Jew" was swapped out for "Brahmin." "These findings suggest that exposure to anti-oppressive narratives can increase the endorsement of the type of demonization and scapegoating characteristic of authoritarianism," wrote the researchers. "When DEI initiatives typically affirm the laudable goals of combating bias and promoting inclusivity, an emerging body of research warns that these interventions may foster authoritarian mindsets, particularly when anti-oppressive narratives exist within an ideological and vindictive monoculture," said the study. "The push toward absolute equity can undermine pluralism and engender a (potentially violent) aspiration of ideological purity." The paper concluded, "The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment."
