The Biden-Harris administration has made no secret of its effort to push diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the United States. But it is also working to push the leftwing racial ideology around the world. In 2022, the administration named Desiree Cormier Smith the State Department’s first Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice. She is officially charged with advancing “the human rights of members of marginalized racial, ethnic, and Indigenous communities,” and building “global partnerships to combat systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia.” In her own words, that amounts to fighting “structural racism, discrimination, and xenophobia,” which she says “are global scourges that require global solutions.” Smith’s role is perhaps the biggest example of the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to pushing DEI. It is also a likely target for elimination should former President Donald Trump win re-election in November. Trump has indicated that he will fire leftwing bureaucrats who may otherwise obstruct his policy agenda. Smith — who says her role exists “because the Biden-Harris administration acknowledges the global nature of systemic racism” — acknowledged as much during an appearance on a Harvard University podcast. “If we get a Republican president or any other president in the future … then the whole-of-government approach might be a very different one and might not include this position any longer,” the interviewer said. “That is a possibility,” Smith responded. The Biden-Harris administration has pushed the DEI agenda throughout the national security establishment. The National Security Agency created a DEI glossary including terms like “white fragility,” “settler colonialism,” and “transmisogyny,” openly referencing the work of Critical Race Theorists, The Daily Wire revealed in an exclusive investigation.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence also advanced the far-left DEI agenda, celebrating one intelligence agent who said that cross-dressing made him a better intelligence official and telling agents to avoid using “problematic phrases” when discussing Islamic terrorism. The military has embraced the same ideologies, with the Air Force hosting the CEO of an organization that encourages child sex changes as a speaker at an LGBT pride event, and the Department of Defense requesting nearly $270 million over two years for its DEI agenda. A State Department spokesman told The Daily Wire that Smith’s appointment “underscores the Department’s clear commitment to combating systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia globally.” “The State Department’s first-ever Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice was established to advance the human rights of members of marginalized racial, ethnic, and Indigenous communities,” the spokesman said, sidestepping The Daily Wire’s inquiry as to whether or not the State Department believes that the United States is a systemically racist country.  “Structural racism, discrimination, and xenophobia are global scourges that require global solutions,” Smith said in an interview with the Center For Strategic & International Studies. She also claimed that white supremacy is a “global threat” that requires solutions across “continents and national borders.” “So when we look at racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism, white supremacy is at the top of that,” Smith stated. “And so those who engage in violent White supremacy, again, they know no borders.” FBI data indicate that white people are underrepresented among hate crime offenders in the United States relative to their share of the population over the last five years. Smith began her diplomatic career in the Pickering Fellowship, a State Department program that seeks “members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the State Department, women, and those with a demonstrated financial need for graduate school.” She previously worked for leftwing billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, as a senior policy advisor for Africa, Europe, and Eurasia. Smith says that DEI is a “national security imperative,” and that white supremacy is a “global threat” that requires solutions across “continents and national borders.” Just like the State Department’s LGBTQI Special Envoy, previously spotlighted by The Daily Wire, Smith travels across the world as she engages in government-sanctioned activism. Smith detailed one story in which she received a gift from a Brazilian woman who “gave me a shirt with a phrase in Portuguese.” “Now, I don’t speak Portuguese yet, so when I got to my office I looked it up,” the State Department official went on to explain. “And the text on the shirt translated to ‘Justice is a Black woman, and she does not walk alone.’ And I thought it was so profound and so meaningful, as a Black woman.”

News Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft Netflix Renews Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft for Second Season Lara will go from being a rookie to the icon we know and love By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 25, 2024 Credit: Netflix Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Netflix Netflix’s animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft has uncovered a second season. Netflix announced today via their Tudum website that the show will get more episodes, and that after Season One’s “origin story of sorts,” Lara will move on from being “somewhat of a rookie” to the icon we know from the franchise’s video games and live-action films. Here’s the official logline for Season Two: When adventurer Lara Croft discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks, she joins forces with her best friend Sam to retrieve the precious artifacts. Lara’s thrilling new adventure takes her around the globe as she delves deeper into the hidden secrets of Orisha history, dodges the machinations of a dangerous and enigmatic billionaire who wants the masks for herself, while discovering these relics contain dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Power that may, in fact, be divine. “Season One, thematically, is about Lara embracing how her dad dealt with grief, which was isolating,” showrunner Tasha Huo told Tudum. “When we meet Lara, she’s very isolated… As we get into Season Two, we’re trying to build Lara’s team over the course of the show, so she goes from isolated hero, who only wants to do things on her own—a lone wolf—to realizing, ‘Actually, I have this really cool team behind me.’” No news yet on when Season Two will premiere on Netflix. The entire first season is now streaming on the platform.[end-mark] The post Netflix Renews <i>Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft</i> for Second Season appeared first on Reactor.

Rep. Swalwell Threatens to Sue DA Pamela Price for Ruining His Reputation

As the election approaches, look for the Regime Media to embed propaganda in subtler pieces than what you normally see at the top of their newscasts, such as their unhinged campaign trail recaps. Case in point: this “Eye on America” item from CBS, touting “nuance” at the border that is anything but nuanced. Watch as Norah O’Donnell and Omar Villafranca introduce their border dispatch: NORAH O’DONNELL: A CBS news poll shows 58% of likely voters consider the U.S.-Mexico border a major factor in their choice for president. Well, there are no shortage of opinions in the immigration debate, we wanted to see what those closest to the issue are thinking. So for tonight’s Eye on America, CBS's Omar Villafranca hits the road for a 1,000 mile-plus reality check. OMAR VILLAFRANCA: The southern border as described on the campaign trail... DONALD TRUMP: It's an invasion of our country. KAMALA HARRIS: I saw the violence and chaos. VILLAFRANCA: …or seen on the news… CAMILO MONTOYA: In just the past 24 hours, more than 10,000 migrants have been processed… VILLAFRANCA: …can easily create a picture of all border towns as lawless and chaotic. But the reality is more nuanced, as we learned during our 1600-mile trip from McAllen, Texas, to the California coast.  Villafranca goes on to assure viewers that the southern border is not 2,000 miles of badlands, and that is certainly a legitimate take. In order to accomplish this, he interviews various local business owners and public officials. Villafranca also points to the various industrial concerns.  But none of this mitigates the fact that tens of millions of illegal migrants poured into the United States over the last three and a half years. In fact, you hear no allusion to a migrant crisis anywhere in the report except for the Trump soundbite where he says “invasion.” That is, until it is time to put forth a solution for the border crisis, at which point Villafranca champions the failed Senate deal that would’ve put millions of illegal migrants on a fast track to citizenship. VILLAFRANCA: Arizona borders Mexico for more than 350 miles, and it is a drug smuggling hotspot. In FY 2024, 66% of the fentanyl seized on the U.S.-Mexico border happened in the Tucson sector, which includes all the ports of entry in Arizona, including the one behind me. Douglas, Arizona, mayor Donald Huish liked the bipartisan border bill that’s been front and center in the campaign. The one that died after Donald Trump's criticism. KAMALA HARRIS: I will bring it back up and probably sign it into law. DONALD HUISH: It would help us because we would've had more Border Patrol agents. I can understand why people didn't like the entire bill, but why stop talking about it? VILLAFRANCA: Did that frustrate you? HUISH: It frustrated the heck out of us. In the end, this supposedly nuanced report is little more than Regime propaganda, 11 days from a presidential election. Exit question: Did you know that there are 150,000 migrants jammed up in southern Mexico until after the election, after which they will march north? Because the Regime Media are making sure that you don't know. Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on the CBS Evening News on Thursday, October 24th, 2024: CBS EVENING NEWS 10/24/24 6:50 PM NORAH O’DONNELL: A CBS news poll shows 58% of likely voters consider the U.S.-Mexico border a major factor in their choice for president. Well, there are no shortage of opinions in the immigration debate, we wanted to see what those closest to the issue are thinking. So for tonight’s Eye on America, CBS's Omar Villafranca hits the road for a 1,000 mile-plus reality check. OMAR VILLAFRANCA: The southern border as described on the campaign trail... DONALD TRUMP: It's an invasion of our country. KAMALA HARRIS: I saw the violence and chaos. VILLAFRANCA: …or seen on the news… CAMILO MONTOYA: In just the past 24 hours, more than 10,000 migrants have been processed… VILLAFRANCA: …can easily create a picture of all border towns as lawless and chaotic. But the reality is more nuanced, as we learned during our 6000-mile trip from McAllen, Texas, to the California coast. In Laredo, Texas, ranked as one of the safest cities in the state, mayor Victor Trevino told us his city is not the Wild West he often sees depicted. VICTOR TREVINO: There’s cartels, there's crime, and this and that -- which is not true. VILLAFRANCA: He points to a different surge. $320 billion worth of GM and Tesla car parts, microchips, and produce that cross America's busiest port of entry by train and truck. About 500 miles west, in Presidio, Texas, restaurant owner Hector Armendariz sees people leaving for better paying jobs, including his own family. HECTOR ARMENDARIZ: This is my teenager. Daughter. She’s graduating this May. We have three. They left. And they don't come back. All our kids leave, and they don't come back. VILLAFRANCA: Mayor John Ferguson says the local economy relies on hundreds of Mexican citizens who illegally cross every day to work in restaurants or oilfields. What would happen if it was harder for Mexican residents to come over to work in Presidio? JOHN FERGUSON: I think we’d be in serious trouble like, you know, the pandemic, where you didn't have enough workers and things would slow down, and certain sectors might kind of dry up. VILLAFRANCA: Columbus, New Mexico mayor Phil Skinner says without border trade towns shrink, with consequences you may not think about. How many dentists are in town here? PHIL SKINNER: In Columbus? VILLAFRANCA: Yeah. SKINNER: None. VILLAFRANCA: How many dentists are in Puerto palomas? SKINNER: Ten. VILLAFRANCA: So if you need dental work, you're going to Mexico. SKINNER: Yes. VILLAFRANCA: Arizona borders Mexico for more than 350 miles, and it is a drug smuggling hotspot. In FY 2024, 66% of the fentanyl seized on the U.S.-Mexico border happened in the Tucson sector, which includes all the ports of entry in Arizona, including the one behind me. Douglas, Arizona, mayor Donald Huish liked the bipartisan border bill that’s been front and center in the campaign. The one that died after Donald Trump's criticism. KAMALA HARRIS: I will bring it back up and probably sign it into law. DONALD HUISH: It would help us because we would've had more Border Patrol agents. I can understand why people didn't like the entire bill, but why stop talking about it? VILLAFRANCA: Did that frustrate you? HUISH: It frustrated the heck out of us. VILLAFRANCA: Frustration is everywhere along the border. Just ask Sheriff Mark Dannels in Arizona's Cochise County, which struggles with the influx of drug mules and human smugglers.  Are you optimistic or pessimistic about what’s going to happen here in the future? MARK DANNELS: It’s more of an unknown because politics in the country is so divided right now. VILLAFRANCA: Which is why the one thing you won't find on the border is hope for a solution. For Eye on America, I'm Omar Villafranca, along the U.S.-Mexico border.
