The state of Washington is attacking hate and bias crimes with a hotline. It’s probably well-intentioned‚ but the far left always goes to extremes. How are they going to define a hate or bias incident? Is it going to be someone condemning abortion or complaining about CRT? Senate Bill 5427‚ which creates a hotline to […] The post Hate &; Bias Crime Hotline in the Hands of Washington Dems appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

If you’ve been paying attention over the last couple of years‚ you’ve seen how woke ideologies are ripping through all aspects of society from the K-12 education system to colleges‚ the military‚ and our local‚ state‚ and federal governments. If you haven’t been paying attention‚ Harvard-educated House GOP Chair‚ Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) thrust this into the spotlight and is finally taking some action. Her brave questioning of several U.S. college presidents in Washington‚ D.C.‚ exposed the rot that has formed at many of America’s most respected education institutions. And now this is extending beyond the GOP. Bill Ackman‚ billionaire and longtime Democrat donor‚ recently told the New York Magazine that his daughter was indoctrinated at Harvard University saying in part “She became‚ like‚ an anti-capitalist. Like practically a Marxist.” Bill’s comments reflect the pain that many parents from around the nation are feeling who have watched their sons and daughters return home from college not smarter‚ more cultured‚ or more business savvy‚ but brainwashed on many issues that go against the values in which they were raised as children. What should terrify all parents‚ is that this is not an uncommon scenario in today’s world where a young man or woman goes off to college with a deep love for America only to come home on spring break with a new mindset: burn America to the ground. U.C. Berkeley’s School of Law allegedly created a “Zionist-free zone” where anyone who supports Israel is not allowed to enter. On another side of the same campus‚ Jewish students were recently forced to to barricade themselves inside because of a angry mobs trying to attack them.  Through a strategic plan to completely infiltrate our education systems‚ we have seen innocent children grow up to become unrecognizable anarchists on campuses across our nation. What should scare us even more — today’s protesters will become tomorrow’s prosecutors. And it doesn’t stop there. Innocent‚ moldable minds that have been hijacked by woke ideology are the future of our healthcare system‚ government‚ judicial system‚ and yes‚ those in charge of educating generations to come. President Donald J. Trump has always said‚ “They aren’t after me‚ they are after you.” But it doesn’t stop there — they are after an entire generation. As a former intelligence officer and prosecutor‚ this problem is much deeper than meets the eye. For years‚ this has been quietly driven by weak college presidents who can’t find the moral courage to unequivocally condemn Anti-Semitism and tenured professors turned political activists with a single mission — to brainwash the minds of our nation’s future. This hate-filled culture is not enriching life on college campuses. Why are the leaders of higher education allowing this to take root and more importantly‚ who is funding it? And it’s not just in higher education where the destructive woke ideologies have taken root. We now see them on full display in the U.S. military where recently‚ radical U.S. airman‚ Aaron Bushnell‚ quite literally set himself on fire outside of the Israeli Embassy in the United States to protest the American government’s support for Israel. Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion (DEI) practices have transformed into a Marxist value system and the consequences are detrimental and our recruitment is suffering immensely. Traditionally‚ the U.S. military has been revered for its focus on meritocracy and unity of purpose. Recruitment was based on the principles of honor‚ duty‚ and patriotism‚ with individuals from diverse backgrounds coming together under the shared goal of defending their country. However‚ the rise of Marxist initiatives has shifted the focus away from these core principles‚ prioritizing identity politics over the fundamental qualities necessary for military service. DEI initiatives have fostered a toxic environment within the military‚ where divisive identity politics take precedence over unity and cohesion. Rather than fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose‚ these initiatives have sown discord and resentment among service members‚ undermining morale and eroding the bonds of trust that are essential for effective teamwork in combat situations. It is imperative that we recognize the dangers posed by Marxist initiatives all throughout our society and take decisive action to reverse this damaging trend. Instead of focusing on divisive identity politics‚ we must reaffirm our commitment to meritocracy‚ unity‚ and shared purpose. From all aspects of our education systems to our military to our government leaders‚ one thing is for sure; woke ideologies are destroying the fabric of our great nation and they must come to an end once and for all. And in Congress‚ I will fight to save our children and our national security. I will use all means possible to form a task force to investigate this problem‚ find out who is funding it and make sure that our youth once again believes in one nation‚ under god‚ indivisible‚ with liberty and justice for all. * * * Abe Hamadeh is a Trump-endorsed Republican Candidate for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District and former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer.

A week after over 100‚000 Democratic voters declined to cast a ballot for President Joe Biden in the Michigan primary‚ more than 45‚000 Minnesota Democrats — nearly 20% of those who participated in the party’s Minnesota primary election on Super Tuesday — voted “uncommitted.” With an estimated 80% of the vote counted as of Wednesday afternoon‚ Biden won the Minnesota Democratic primary with just over 70% of the vote‚ but his margin of victory was inhibited by 19% of Democrats who participated in the election voting “uncommitted‚” according to Decision Desk HQ. Rep. Dean Phillips‚ a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 3rd District‚ came in third behind Biden and “uncommitted” with 7.8%. “Congratulations to Joe Biden‚ Uncommitted‚ Marianne Williamson‚ and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me‚” Phillips posted on X on Tuesday night before suspending his campaign and endorsing Biden on Wednesday. Like the results in Michigan a week ago‚ Biden’s hampered victory in Minnesota indicates a potential issue for Democrats heading into the general election as Muslim voters‚ a demographic that votes predominantly blue‚ have voiced frustration with the Biden administration’s support for Israel. Both Michigan and Minnesota have large Muslim populations‚ and far-Left activists have encouraged voters to protest Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war by voting “uncommitted.” Both Minnesota and Michigan could be crucial for the president to hold onto in the 2024 election after his victories in both states helped propel him to a win in 2020 over former President Donald Trump. Biden won Minnesota by a safe margin in 2020‚ taking 52.4% of the vote to Trump’s 45.3%‚ while his win in Michigan was much closer‚ topping Trump by less than three percentage points. A significant number of Democratic voters in other states also refused to support the president on Tuesday‚ with 88‚000 Democrats—12.7% of those who went to the polls—voting “no preference” in North Carolina and 9.3% voting “no preference” in Massachusetts. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Besides Biden’s issues with Muslim voters‚ the 81-year-old president is also trying to assure voters he has the stamina for another general election campaign and four more years in office. Last month‚ Trump called on Biden to take a cognitive test‚ just hours after the commander-in-chief’s doctor said he was “fit to serve” following his annual physical exam.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a hilarious excuse for not holding the car door open for his actress girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld after a video surfaced from their recent trip to France. Allen hit back at the online criticism of failing to be a gentleman while the two were out to dinner in Paris‚ the Daily Mail reported. “My pants ripped at dinner…Didn’t want cheeks out… I love Paris‚” Allen wrote on X in the post that has since gone viral. While there’s no video or pictures of the wardrobe malfunction‚ paparazzi did capture the NFL star rushing out of a car appearing to hold up his pants with some kind of shirt or jacket around his waist. He was then followed by the “Pitch Perfect 2” star‚ who was helped out of the car by another person. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen in Paris pic.twitter.com/xWqJcaxQK6 — Hailee Steinfeld Source (@SteinfeldSource) March 5‚ 2024 Once the footage surfaced‚ social media shared their thoughts and basically blasted Allen. “Not even hold her hand‚ or helping her out of the car‚” one fan wrote in the video’s comments section‚ adding that Allen could “take some man lessons from Travis Kelce on how to treat your lady.” Kelce is currently dating pop star Taylor Swift. Another added‚ “Bro didn’t even help her out or open the door for her.” While a third wrote‚ “Why didn’t he wait for her?” Allen and Steinfeld were first linked together in May 2023. At the time‚ a source said the relationship was new‚ “but they are having fun.” In October‚ the couple finally went public with their romance after being photographed while attending a professional hockey game. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP As of February‚ a source confirmed to the outlet that their relationship was “serious.” “They always planned to spend more time together after his season ended‚” the source said. “Things have been going really well. They’re both very family-oriented and driven‚ and they want to protect their relationship and keep it private. They’ve been on the same page with all of that.” Before Allen started dating the “Hawkeye” star he was in a long-term romance with social media influencer and Pilates instructor Brittany Williams‚ the New York Post noted.

Pennsylvania‘s senators‚ both Democrats‚ have withdrawn a request for $1 million in taxpayer money to support a renovation and expansion project for an LGBT center in Philadelphia after federal funds for the organization were blocked in the House last year. Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Bob Casey (D-PA) wrote to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday to declare they no longer want an earmark for the William Way LGBT Community Center in spending legislation for the current fiscal year. “After further review‚ I am writing to withdraw my support and request the removal of the below Fiscal Year 2024 Congressionally Directed Spending project included in the Senate Transportation‚ Housing and Urban Development‚ and Related Agencies appropriations bill‚” the two letters said. The senators had earlier requested the $1 million for “The William Way Renovation and Expansion Project” which Casey’s letter said would “renovate and expand the existing LGBT Community Center into an inclusive‚ fully accessible‚ and welcoming space for all individuals to gather‚ learn‚ and find life-giving support.” Word of the $1 million earmark request getting pulled spread on social media on Tuesday evening. The popular Libs of TikTok account on X‚ run by Chaya Raichik‚ posted a screenshot of the letter signed by Fetterman. She noted that it followed the account’s “Exposé” featuring screenshots of advertisements for adults-only events at the center that featured sexually explicit content. Fetterman released a statement on Wednesday praising the William Way LGBT Community Center but acknowledged his funding request would not make it through the appropriations process. He blamed Republicans. “The William Way LGBT Community Center has been doing critical work in Philadelphia for decades. I do not believe that we should penalize this center based on events that are entirely legal among consenting adults. I have no problem with what consenting adults do in their private time‚” Fetterman said. “Unfortunately‚ at the 11th hour my staff was made aware that funding for William Way‚ which was in the bill because I championed it‚ would not pass in the FY24 appropriations process. The choice was either to pull it or watch it get stripped out‚ attacked by Republicans‚ and ultimately killed. This is not the end of this fight and I am going to fight for William Way to secure their funding in the FY25 appropriations process‚” he added. “I’m new here‚ but I wasn’t aware that Democratic values and priorities are dictated by Libs of TikTok.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Congressional leaders announced last week they had reached a deal on several appropriations bills‚ including the one for Transportation‚ Housing and Urban Development‚ with the goal of passing them by March 8. Other spending bills to fund other facets of the federal government have a deadline of March 22 thanks to another stop-gap measure. Rep. Brandon Boyle (D-PA)‚ who represents a district in the Philadelphia area‚ had also requested the $1 million earmark for the William Way LGBT Community Center. While the request appears in a “Final Table” of community funding projects on the House Appropriations Committee website‚ an “Updated Table” does not include the item. The same deletion is reflected on the Senate Appropriations Committee website. As recently as Sunday‚ Boyle had been celebrating funds for the center that have since disappeared. “House Republicans tried to strip funding I secured for the William Way LGBT Community Center here in Philadelphia‚” he posted on X‚ alluding to a previous $1.8 million earmark that got blocked in committee last year. “I’m happy to announce that their bigotry lost — and that this much-needed funding for the William Way Center was included in the 2024 funding bills released today.” The Daily Wire reached out to Casey’s office‚ Boyle’s office‚ and the William Way LGBT Community Center seeking comment on the withdrawal request.

Kirsten Dunst said she’s open to appearing in another superhero movie for a very practical reason. The “Spider-Man” actress made the revelation during a new interview with Marie Claire and discussed some of her thoughts about how the industry has changed.  “It was a joke‚ but on Spider-Man‚ they would call me ‘girly-girl’ sometimes on the walkie-talkie. ‘We need girly-girl’” she mimicked. “But I never said anything … like‚ don’t call me that.”  “You didn’t say anything. You just took it‚” Dunst said of being on set in the pre-MeToo era. Marvel’s “Spider-Man” starring Tobey Maguire and featuring Dunst as Mary Jane premiered in 2002. Despite her negative experience‚ the 41-year-old actress said she’d be open to another superhero movie “because you get paid a lot of money‚ and I have two children‚ and I support my mother.” The actress is currently promoting her new project‚ the action drama “Civil War” produced by A24. “There’s definitely less good roles for women my age‚” the actress said‚ mentioning how “every role I was being offered was the sad mom” after being nominated for her first Oscar for “The Power of the Dog” in 2022. “That’s why I did ‘Civil War.’ When I read the script‚ I thought‚ ‘I’ve never done anything like this‚’” Dunst added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP At another point in the interview‚ the actress said in her 20s she was “kind of over-acting‚ to be honest‚ because I felt like it was for other people‚ not for myself.” She said engaging with an acting coach changed her outlook. Dunst’s comments about being willing to consider superhero movies come as the genre suffered several recent high-profile box office flops‚ including “Madame Web” starring Dakota Johnson‚ “The Marvels‚” “Aquaman 2‚” and “The Flash.”  In response‚ some studios‚ including Disney‚ have rescheduled some of their upcoming projects. While some of the bad numbers are being blamed on residual effects of the pandemic and the Hollywood strikes last year‚ many industry insiders have dubbed the phenomenon “superhero fatigue” as audiences become sick of seeing the same type of content over and over. Several “Spider-Man” spin-offs are currently in development‚ with the next releases being “Kraven the Hunter” in August and “Venom 3” in November.
