Two Teens Set Mentally Ill Man On Fire; If Races Were Reversed It Would Be A National Story

Two black teens have been charged with assault and arson in connection to the brutal death of a mentally ill white man in Rochester, New York.

The two reportedly sneaked into the home of the man on Friday afternoon, sprayed him with an ignitable fluid and set him on fire until 70% of his body was covered in second and third-degree burns.

Apparently left to die, a man, identified as either a mail carrier or a gas and electric worker, burst into the apartment to try to put out the burning man. By the time the 911 call was made and police arrived, it was too late. The victim fought for his life for four days in a burn trauma unit before he passed.

The story was reported by local station WHAM 13 News, but the races of the individuals involved were not specified.

Rochester journalist and radio host Bob Lonsberry made the races public and highlighted the double-standard in news coverage that has contributed to the deterioration of Rochester, a city engulfed in an at-times violent campaign against police officers over alleged racism.

Citing law enforcement sources, Lonsberry reports that the teens instructed the victim during the incident to tell authorities that it was two white men who perpetrated the crime.

A police source confirmed Lonsberry’s reporting to The Daily Wire.

“A man has died after suffering second and third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body – days after Rochester Police say he was intentionally set on fire by two teenage boys,” WHAM 13 reported on the heinous crime. “Investigators said the man, whose name has not been released, was sitting in a chair in his apartment on Lyell Avenue near Murray Street on Friday. According to officers, the two teenagers — ages 14 and 16 — sprayed the man with an ignitable fluid, then set him on fire.”

“Both teenagers were charged with first-degree assault,” the report added. “The 16-year-old is charged second-degree attempted arson, while the 14-year-old was charged with second-degree arson.”

Lonsberry noted Monday, “If two white teens had set a mentally ill black man on fire last Friday on Lyell Avenue, how many floors at the Strathallan would be set aside for national media today? #ROC.”

As Lonsberry highlights, there has been a near blackout on any national reporting of the story — with a total blackout on the races involved.

The New York Post and USA Today (reprinting the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle story) gave the report some air, but race was not mentioned.

The races of those involved may not prove to be relevant in the end, as we do not yet have any motive for the crime. At this early stage of the investigation, there are no reported connections between the teens and the man. If police sources are correct, however, race was a factor when the teens reportedly told their victim to say he was set on fire by white men.

Due to this claim, the racial connection is stronger than in many other national stories the media framed through a racial lens. News reports of the incidents concerning Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner and George Floyd, for example, were not shown to be connected to race, other than the media’s injection of the issue into the tragic incidents.

“In a world where everything anymore seems to be about race, nobody wanted to mention the fact that the teens where black and the old man was white, and they watched him burn a bit, after they sprayed him and lit him, and they told him to say it was two white guys who did it,” Lonsberry wrote.

“Nobody will ask if it was a hate crime,” he added.

‘I Am 100% Suing Cardi’: Candace Owens Blasts Cardi B After Rapper Posts Doctored Tweet, False Claims

Candace Owens and rapper Cardi B feuded on Tuesday for hours after the “WAP” singer was irked by Owens’ criticism of her Grammys performance, which included simulated sex acts with another rapper.

The feud blew up when an agitated Cardi, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, posted screenshots of a fake tweet and false blog posts about Owens and her family. Owens, host of The Daily Wire talk show “Candace,” shot back that she would “100%” be suing the rapper for the false statements.

In response to a photoshopped tweet designed to look like it was posted by Owens, Cardi B tweeted: “Not you talking about two women thrusting their vaginas together while your husband and brother slap c***s and b***s together .WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT !wow.”

The fake tweet read, “Yes, my husband did cheat on me with my brother. Yes, he said no when I asked to join them.”

Owens responded, “I am literally laughing out loud. Cardi. My dear. That is clearly a photoshopped tweet. Only one of us has a husband that sleeps around.” Cardi has publicly discussed her husband cheating on her.

In another vulgar post, Cardi insisted the photoshopped tweet was not fake.

“This wasn’t photoshopped you was trending the whole day when you tweeted this and it was published on a lot of blog outlets,” the celebrity claimed. “Your right mine sleeps around yours sleeps at yours sleep at your home with your brother C*** BOXING while you tweet me.”

“What the actual hell are you talking about?” Owens replied. “Are you dead serious right now trying to substantiate a photoshopped tweet? Asking one more time before I get the lawyers to make you publicly admit you’re lying and embarrass yourself.”

“FYI I DO have a brother, a private citizen, who you are slandering right now with this photoshopped image that you are now publicly claiming you saw tweeted in real life,” Owens said. “You want to admit you lied now, or get sued so I can expose you as a liar? I win either way.”

The rapper continued to post false stories about Owens, claiming they were real because they are found on the Internet.

“Not you being mad at me for WHAT YOU TWEETED AND is published on public blogs,” Cardi wrote. “I ain’t made it up honey Google it yourself.”

“This looks like a random blog that seems to have been dumb enough to have fallen for a photoshopped tweet,” Owens responded. “You tweeted that the photoshopped tweet was real and you saw it on a day that I was trending—which is a lie. You made that part up to help circulate a slanderous lie.”

That was enough for Owens.

“Yes. Just spoke with my family. I am 100% suing Cardi for that nonsense,” she announced. “You can’t just start throwing out wild lies against private members of my family because you’re upset someone called [you] out on your degenerate performance. I‘ll keep you all posted.”

The feud was sparked earlier on Tuesday when Cardi spotted a clip of Owens’ criticism.

“Just @ me next time, directly,” Owens said to Cardi. “You are a cancer cell to culture. Young black girls are having their minds poisoned by what you are trying to package and sell to them as ’empowerment’. I’m one of the few that has courage to tell you the truth. You should thank me.”

In the midst of the feud, Owens told Cardi, “You are insecure and I irk you because I see right through the facade. You are a part of a larger cancer that is manifesting in black culture. There’s no person in America who can look you in the face and honestly say they wish [their] daughters turned out like you.”

“We hear so many women complaining about how men treat women. Cardi B begs the question — how do women treat themselves?” Owens continued. “We can fix black culture, we can’t do it if we keep pretending it’s not broken. That performance was disgusting. Let’s start by calling a spade a spade.”

Seemingly uncomfortable with the discussion at hand, Cardi pulled up a video clip of Owens in the kitchen speaking to followers while she was nine months pregnant. In the video, Owens, tongue in cheek, says she was making a sandwich for her husband “as a woman should do.”

While invoking Owens’ husband’s race, Cardi then accused Owens — a successful author, commentator and activist — of setting a bad example for black women by making her sandwich quip.

“And black women should be more like you? After all the fighting for equality and freedom they should be submissive to a white a man after years of abuse & rape making them a sandwich while pregnant cause in your words ‘that’s what a woman should do’? Interesting,” she wrote.

“Making my husband a sandwich is not submissive. Cooking for your family is not submissive. Yes, a good woman should take care of her family. And yes, a good man does the same. My relationship is healthy. You can’t say the same so maybe take some notes,” Owens responded.

“If you think making your husband a sandwich is a sin, but popping your vagina into another woman’s vagina in front of the world is power — you are a lost soul,” the BLEXIT founder added.

The conservative also noted Cardi’s mentions of her husband being white.

“You always love to mention my husband’s skin tone — so let me ask — what color are the people that are encouraging you to strip in front of the world? Who owns your record labels? Who owns CBS and the GRAMMY’s? Who made the most money off of your WAP? You sold it to who?” Owens questioned.

“I will literally make my husband a sandwich every single day of the week,” she wrote. “You’re struggling right now to change the topic because you are ashamed of your performance, and you should be. You look foolish trying to make your on-stage lesbian simulation about a sandwich.”

“Millions of young girls follow you,” the “Blackout” author said. “At your best, you are self-deprecating and humorous. At your worst, you are naked, shoving your vagina into another woman’s vagina while thrusting atop her. You were at your worst on the Grammy stage. Do better [Cardi B].”

MI Court: Michigan Secretary of State’s Absentee Ballot Order Broke Law, Vindicating Trump Claim


A Michigan judge ruled last week Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) broke state law when she unilaterally issued rules related to absentee balloting, legitimizing a key claim made by the Trump campaign in its legal challenges to the 2020 election.

Benson issued several unilateral orders during the 2020 election including sending absentee ballot applications to all registered voters. She also issued “guidance” on how to evaluate absentee ballots, a move Michigan Court of Claims Chief Judge Christopher Murray held violated the state’s Administrative Procedures Act.

Genetski v. Benson, No. 20-216-MM in the Court of Claims for the State of Michigan by Breitbart News on Scribd

In the guidance, Benson said “slight similarities” in signatures on absentee ballots should lead a counter to decide “in favor of finding that the voter’s signature was valid.”

Murray ruled Benson violated the law “because the guidance issued by the Secretary of State on October 6, 2020, with respect to signature matching standards was issued in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).”

“I’m glad the court sees Secretary of State Benson’s attempts at lawmaking for what they are — clear violations of her authority,” Michigan state Rep. Matt Hall (R) said in a statement.

“If she wants to make changes like these, she needs to work with the Legislature or properly promulgate them through the laws we have on the books — in this case the Administrative Procedures Act,” he continued.

Murray’s ruling came after Allegan County Clerk Bob Genetski sued Benson and state Director of Elections Jonathan Brater over Benson’s order which Hall described as a “mandatory directive requiring local election officials to apply a presumption of validity to all signatures on absent voter ballots.”

According to the suit, Genetski argued “the presumption contained in the guidance issued by defendant Benson will allow invalid votes to be counted,” but Genetski did not allege “that this guidance caused him to accept a signature that he believed was invalid.”

The court’s opinion concluded:

…nowhere in this state’s election law has the Legislature indicated that signatures are to be presumed valid, nor did the Legislature require that signatures are to be accepted so long as there are any redeeming qualities in the application or return envelope as compared with the signature on file. Policy determinations like the one at issue — which places the thumb on the scale in favor of a signature’s validity — should be made pursuant to properly promulgated rules under the APA or by the Legislature.

Like other progressive secretaries of state, Benson put an aggressive emphasis on voting by absentee ballot in the name of safety amid the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Over 3.1 million Michigan voters cast an absentee ballot out of a possible 7.7 million voters, WWMT News reported.

In May 2020, Benson used $4.5 million in funds from the CARES Act — the original coronavirus stimulus — to send absentee ballot applications to all voters, according to Breitbart News.

“By mailing applications, we have ensured that no Michigander has to choose between their health and their right to vote,” Benson said according to NBC 25.

“Voting by mail is easy, convenient, safe, and secure, and every voter in Michigan has the right to do it,” she continued.

Hall noted, “The Legislature is an equal branch of government charged with crafting laws. This is not the role of the Secretary of State, and there is a clear process that must be respected.”

Signature validation rules created without the approval of a legislature was one of the issues the Trump campaign and Republicans claimed was done illegally in the 2020 election.

Trump’s campaign and Republicans argued in cases nationwide that Article II of the Constitution requires state legislatures to make the rules governing presidential elections, and state election officials and courts lack the authority to change those rules.

Murray’s ruling undercuts the Democrat narrative that Republican legal challenges to 2020 election procedures were without merit and had therefore all been rejected by the courts. The original suit was filed October 6, 2020 — prior to the presidential election — but was not decided until March 9, 2021.

The case is Genetski v. Benson, No. 20-216-MM in the Court of Claims for the State of Michigan.

Republican Senators Under Pressure as Gun Controllers Seek Anti-Second Amendment Votes


Republican senators are facing pressure from Democrats, establishment media, and other gun controllers now that numerous gun control bills have been introduced, all in hopes of securing the necessary anti-Second Amendment votes.

Breitbart News reported that eight Republicans voted for Democrat gun control in the House last week:

  • Vern Buchanan of Florida
  • Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
  • Maria Salazar of Florida
  • Andrew Garbarino of New York
  • Chris Smith of New Jersey
  • Fred Upton of Michigan
  • Carlos Gimenez of Florida
  • Adam Kinzinger of Illinois

The Hill reported that Brady PAC Director Brian Lemek reacted to the House vote by claiming, “We have a slim gun violence prevention majority, but we have the majority, which we know includes eight Republicans.”

The New York Times also referenced Lemek, noting his intimation that the Brady PAC is ready to spend “upwards of $10 million” in the next election cycle in support of those who vote for gun control.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal stated he is already talking to Republican senators, trying to find the ten who will be needed to pass the gun control measures.

Blumenthal is trying to up the ante on Republicans by urging them to talk to families of victims of gun crime. He said, “The most powerful advocates for change are the people who have personal stories to share about how a background check could have saved someone they love — that’s who my Republican colleagues have to answer to.”

Minnesota Pipeline Battle: Ojibwe Tribe Cites Prophesy of Deadly Energy Decisions


A bitter winter delayed work on replacing part of Enbridge Line 3 pipeline that has brought oil from Canada through Minnesota since the 1960s. But protesters, including Native Americans, are seeking to shut down the project citing Joe Biden’s war on fossil fuels and an ancient prophecy.

CNN reported on what the media outlet said is a growing protest: 

Though they failed to stop the oil now flowing through the Dakota Access Pipeline, maybe this was a sign Biden would take their side in the David versus Goliath fight to stop Line 3. And maybe people would finally heed an ancient warning known as The Seven Fires Prophecy.

In Ojibwe tribal lore, an environmental moment of reckoning was predicted in the time of the Seventh Fire, when “the light skinned race will be given a choice between two roads,” one green and lush, the other black and charred. A wrong choice, it was warned, would “cause much suffering and death to all the Earth’s people.” The Ojibwe are of the largest groups of Native Americans north of Mexico with tribal members stretching from present-day Ontario in eastern Canada all the way into Montana.

As a half-dozen female tribal elders sing and pray alongside the frozen Mississippi, it’s obvious that for some bands, the fight is sacred and eternal. The question is how many will join them in the face of tougher legal challenges, increased pressure from police and the limits of the pandemic.

Activist and tribal attorney Tara Houska said 130 people have been arrested for protesting the pipeline, herself included. CNN said she had to post a $6,000 bail to remain free ahead of her hearing.

“They seem to think that it’s going to deter us from protecting the land,” Houska said. “They are fundamentally missing the point of what water protectors are doing, which is willing to put ourselves our freedom, our bodies, our personal comfort on the line for something greater than ourselves.”

But an official with Enbridge, the company that operates the pipeline, said every federal, state, and tribal test for environmental safety has been met. And he said 40 percent of the pipeline is already complete.

Enbridge Chief Communications Officer Mike Fernandez said this pipeline is different because of its longevity.

“It already exists,” Fernandez said. “And it already is an energy lifeline for literally millions of people in the U.S. and in Canada. And the reality is, even as we see great growth in renewables, we’re still going to need some fossil fuels 40 years to come.”

But while critics say they are protecting the water, workers say they are protecting their livelihoods. While some of the 5,200 people building Line 3 are from Texas and Louisiana about 400 are Native Americans.

CNN also talked to Jim Jones, a member of the Leech Kaje Band of the Ojibwe and a former cultural anthropology for the state of Minnesota. Enbridge hired him to walk the pipeline and ensure the operation wasn’t harming indigenous spaces.

“You think that people that are scrambling at home, running out of gas with no heat, are thinking about climate change?” Jones said. “They’re thinking about how they’re going to heat their home and put food on the table.”

“I’m at peace that I’ve done the best I can to protect what’s important to us,” he said. “And I can honestly tell you, as of today, nothing of historic context has been unearthed or disturbed.”

Feds to Use Dallas Convention Center as Housing for 3,000 Male Migrants Amid Border Crisis

The federal government is going to use the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas to house 3,000 illegal migrant male teens as the border crisis continues to escalate.

As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Monday, people are illegally hopping the border in droves because they believe that Joe Biden “is going to be a good president for migrants.”

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center will be used to house the illegal aliens for up to 90 days, beginning as soon as this week, according to a memo sent to members of the Dallas City Council on Monday. The memo was obtained by the Associated Press. It will be used as a “decompression center” for male teens aged 15 to 17.

The Associated Press reports that “American authorities encountered people crossing the border without legal status more than 100,000 times in February — a level higher than all but four months of Donald Trump’s presidency. The spike in traffic poses a challenge to President Joe Biden at a fraught moment with Congress, which is about to take up immigration legislation.”

Biden has suspended Donald Trump’s policy of having migrants wait in Mexico until they can receive an asylum hearing in the United States. He has also backed a bill proposing a path to citizenship for all the illegal aliens currently residing in our nation.

Naturally, the pro-illegal immigration policies have lead to a massive surge in people hopping over the border and overloading all the current systems in place to process them.

“This crisis is created by the presidential policies of this new administration,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday while leading a large congressional delegation to El Paso, Texas. “There’s no other way to claim it than a Biden border crisis.”

Get Woke, Go Broke: 2021 Grammy Ratings Tank, Could be Event’s Lowest in History

Get woke, go broke.

The 2021 Grammys was a total bust according to early ratings.

Variety reported:

Per Nielsen Live+Same Day fast-affiliate numbers, Music’s Biggest Night garnered an average of 7.88 million viewers for the network during the ceremony’s broadcast on Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET with a 1.9 rating in adults 18-49. Final numbers that take into account live West Coast viewing should be made available later today or early tomorrow morning. Stats will likely rise by 15-20% in the official national ratings after time-zone adjustment.

In comparison, the time-zone adjusted fast national charts for 2020’s Grammy Awards drew a 5.4 rating in the key demo and 18.7 million viewers. The 2019 Grammy Awards drew a 5.6 rating and 19.9 million viewers. The least-watched Grammys was the host-less awards ceremony in 2006, which snagged 17 million viewers. Nevertheless, this year’s telecast was still the highest-rated broadcast of the night.

The Grammy Awards show on Sunday was a white-hating, police-bashing wokefest laced with vulgar, pornographic performances by scantily clad female rappers.

Beyonce accepted an award for best R&B performance for her Juneteenth single “Black Parade.”

“I wanted to uplift, encourage and celebrate all the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world,” Beyoncé said after accepting her Grammy.

H.E.R. won a Grammy for her George Floyd-inspired song, “I Can’t Breathe” which was also released on Juneteenth.

“You know that fight we had in Summer 2020?” H.E.R. said Sunday night while on stage. “Keep that.”

Rapper “Lil Baby” brought his song “The Bigger Picture” to life in a video that portrayed two cops killing a Black man after a traffic stop.

Marxist BLM activist Tamika Mallory urged Biden to implement Communist policies.

“President Biden, we demand justice, equity, policy and everything else that freedom encompasses,” Tamika Mallory said. “And to accomplish this, we don’t need allies. We need accomplices. It’s bigger than black and white. This is not a trend, this is our plight.”

As if this wokefest wasn’t bad enough, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion served up a filthy and pornographic performance.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion twerked on stripper poles and rolled around on a giant bed in an X-rated production.

Thankfully a lot of Americans rejected this degenerate filth.
