Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he’s sick and tired of Joe Biden using “the race card” to push his agenda. In an interview on Sunday, the Republican pointed toward the Democrat narrative that the filibuster is racist because of its association with Jim Crow. He noted as a senator, Biden had used the filibuster himself and even advocated for it at one point. Graham also took aim at Democrats’ approach to the elections bill recently passed by the House, which gets rid of anti-fraud policies Democrats have deemed as “racist.” This includes voter ID laws and laws against ballot harvesting. These sentiments of Jim Crow-era comparisons also come after Georgia Go

(Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Former President Donald Trump crashed a wedding at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, on Saturday, where he gave a speech ripping his successor, President Joe Biden, over China, Iran, and the Southwest border. Trump made an unexpected appearance at the wedding of John and Megan Arrigo on Saturday, according to a video obtained by  TMZ  that shows him wearing a tuxedo and standing in front of the wedding band while making his speech. "You know, I just got, I turned off the news, I get all these flash reports, and they’re telling me about the border, they’re telling me about China, they’re telling me about Iran – how’re we doing with Iran, how do you like that? He added, "Boy, they were ready to make a deal, they would have done anything, they would have done anything, and this guy goes and dr

The statement of Bukola Sariki, the Senate President of Nigeria on the reasons why Nigerians should vote Atiku Abubaka made those of us in the other parts of Africa to suspect certain element of truism in the claims made by the Biafra activist on the continuous unhealthy political situation in Nigeria. The Biafra leader may be said to be barking from oversea; following the one-time governor of one of the states in Nigeria, Ayodele Fayose, on twitter exposes one to more information about hidden issues in Nigeria. And sometimes I think Nigerians do not see or read people’s posts online, especially those things that Nigerians in diaspora see and write in the different search sites. Or perhaps they have been taught to live their lives in recluse like they never existed. That is why I had to plead with the ajuede admin to publish this paper; maybe someone may find it useful.        According to Bukola Sariki, “We will vote Atiku Abubaka, at least he is a Nigerian”.

(Andy Wong/AP Photo) A divided Biden White House has been struggling to stay firm in the face of   increased   Chinese aggression. Last week, China blacklisted the wife of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) as well as a group of Canadian lawmakers and British officials. The move resulted in  Secretary of State Antony  Blinken stating that the Chinese  sanctions  are baseless and seek to intimidate as well as silence those who speak about Beijing’s grave abuses of human rights. “An increasingly assertive China, and they know that the U.S. is better off tackling them with partners rather than trying to do it alone,” he stated. “And all our allies can say the same.” Meanwhile, officials within the Biden  administration  said the State Department’s opposition may be all talk. Trade  representative   Katherine  Tai has vowed not to lift U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods imposed by President Trump. In an interview Sunday, she admitted she’s facing pressure to lift the tariffs, but she said doing so woul

A Vote Safe Iowa sticker is seen on the  floor  during early voting for the general election, Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020, in Adel, Iowa. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall) Democrats who are challenging the  election results  of close  congressional  races won by  Republican candidates  are facing fierce backlash. This comes as Democrat candidate for Iowa’s Second District, Rita Hart, asked the Democrat controlled House to step in and call the election. Hart lost to GOP Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks by six votes, which sparked months of lobbying for representatives to overturn the election. A  local  paper who initially supported Hart in her failed bid for the seat is now distancing itself from her. The  Quad-City Times editorial board expressed concerns over her efforts to overturn the election results in D.C. while bypassing Iowa courts. They said her  challenges  are muddled by partisan politics on the national scale and are hijacking the interests of residents in the Second District. The pape
