"The American Revolution Was Hardly an Anti-Colonial Movement": UCLA Historian Robin D. G. Kelley
Ahead of the July Fourth holiday and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we speak with the acclaimed scholar Robin D. G. Kelley, who examines how Black radicals have interpreted the document throughout U.S. history in a new essay for Hammer Hope. Although the declaration famously asserts that “all men are created equal,” Kelley says that clearly did not extend to Indigenous or enslaved Black people. “When the drafters developed this declaration, they assumed that human beings were basically white men,” he says. But despite the “hypocrisy” of the declaration, many Black radicals still found value in its words, including a “justification for rebellion,” says Kelley.

Keystone Kash Runs Into Trouble With Crackpot FBI Goose Chase
Kylie Cooper/ReutersSenate Democrats are pushing back hard against FBI Director Kash Patel’s wild decision to mobilize hundreds of federal agents and analysts on what one senior senator is calling a “fool’s errand.” Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to both Patel and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche demanding answers after MS NOW reported that Patel had ordered 260 FBI intelligence analysts from field offices across the entire country to work on what internal FBI documents describe as a “priority investigation” in Georgia related to the 2020 election. Warner did not mince his words. “This misuse of taxpayer dollars is negligence and abuse of power of the highest order,” he wrote, before laying out exactly what was being sacrificed to pursue it.Read more at The Daily Beast.

US political divide deepens as left’s hatred towards America grows
Heritage Senior Advisor and Research Fellow Allen Mendenhall discusses the growing political divide in the United States and the nation's changing sense of identity. “I think it’s a divided America; in fact, I think the red state blue state divide has become even more bifurcated in the last decade,” Mr Mendenhall told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “It’s not something I see easing up anytime soon, but I also see a lot more pride. “I feel as if the left has begun to sort of despise America’s traditions and despise America’s culture … a lot of them even hate America.”
