According to a report at Campus Reform, “Howard University has appointed a leading ’antiracist’ (very racist) scholar and activist to one of the school’s most prestigious academic positions.”

“Ibram X. Kendi will serve as the inaugural holder of the Carter G. Woodson Endowed Chair in History, a position supported by $3 million in donor funding that honors its namesake historian, known as the “father of Black history,” according to a university press release.”

Ibram Kendi has a history of making racist comments and rewriting history.

Howard University is a famous historically Black college in America.

Previously, Kendi founded and led Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research (CAR), established in the aftermath of the George Floyd riots.

This program at Boston was shuttered last June due to financial and other concerns.

Kendi responded to concerns by saying “that media coverage unfairly targeted him, claiming that journalists often repeat allegations against black leaders without sufficient evidence and suggested that such scrutiny reflects broader societal bias”, according to a previous Campus Reform report.

In addition to being chair now, Kendi will direct Howard’s Institute for Advanced Study.

This institute “is dedicated to interdisciplinary study advancing research of importance to the global African Diaspora, including inquiry into race, technology, racism, climate change, and disparities.”

Yet again, someone who profits from fomenting racial division is being rewarded by an institute of higher education.

Kendi has infamously written How to Be an Antiracist, where he argues that not being a racist is not enough.

Interim President of the University, Wayne A.I. Frederick, said the chair “affirms Howard University’s enduring responsibility to steward Black history with rigor, integrity, and purpose.”

Kendi has developed quite a catalog of outrageous public remarks. He has compared efforts to ban certain guns to the fight to end slavery.

Last year, Kendi suggested that ‘Whiteness’ prevents White people from ‘connecting to humanity.’

European Globalists hate Russia more than they love themselves.

Even before the military confrontation in Iran began, Europe was already mired in a deep energy crisis, coming from the fact that it shut cheap Russian gas out, while at the same time indulging in its ‘Net-zero’ fantasies, shunning oil for ‘renewables’.

So now, with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed and rising oil prices, the situation is about to cripple the old continent’s economies.

But for the outspoken Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, the solution is straightforward: the European Union must end sanctions on Russian oil and gas imports, take steps to restore the Druzhba oil pipeline flow ​, and end the war in Ukraine.

Reuters reported:

“Fico said in a statement after a call with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that the EU should renew dialogue with ​Russia and ensure conditions so member states can get missing gas and oil ​supplies from all sources, including Russia.

Hungary and Slovakia’s leaders are outliers in ⁠the EU for maintaining relations with Moscow.

Oil prices have surged since U.S. and ​Israeli strikes on Iran started on February 28, holding up shipments from the Gulf and ​creating, what the International Energy Agency called the biggest oil supply disruption in history.”

I AM NOT CALLING FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE RETURN OF COMMON SENSE. THE ENTIRE EU, AND ESPECIALLY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, ARE BEGINNING TO RESEMBLE A SHIP OF SUICIDES WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY SECURITY.

Today’s phone call with Hungarian Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban also…

“I AM NOT CALLING FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE RETURN OF COMMON SENSE. THE ENTIRE EU, AND ESPECIALLY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, ARE BEGINNING TO RESEMBLE A SHIP OF SUICIDES WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY SECURITY.

Today’s phone call with Hungarian Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban also confirmed that we cannot fight the massive energy crisis at the national level alone.

Nevertheless, the governments of Slovakia and Hungary are doing everything they can to protect their national economies and citizens from the ideological blindness and incompetence of the European Commission, the ill will of the Ukrainian president, and the consequences of the war against Iran.

The EU, and especially the European Commission, should immediately resume dialogue with Russia and ensure such a political and legal environment that individual member states and the EU as a whole can replenish missing gas and oil reserves and enable supplies of these strategic resources from all possible sources and directions, including Russia.

Therefore, the senseless sanctions prohibiting the import of gas and oil from Russia should be lifted, a separate EU initiative to rapidly end the war in Ukraine should be launched, and decisive steps should be taken to restore the operation of the Druzhba oil pipeline.”

Barrick is one of the largest mining companies in the world, with a value of nearly $100 billion.

Since its IPO several decades ago, Barrick shares have risen by as much as 54X – enough to turn a $2,500 investment into $135,000.

Yet as great as that is, Barrick’s results might be dwarfed over time by this much smaller $2 gold stock.

While Barrick has reserves of 86 million ounces of gold, this tiny gold play is sitting on the equivalent of 161 million ounces.

That makes it almost 2X bigger than Barrick!

But despite that, this virtually unknown stock is just 1/100th the size of Barrick.

After April 15, however, everything could change practically overnight for this tiny $2 gold play.

And investors could see a tiny stake grow by 10X or more over the next few months alone.

While little is currently known about the incredibly brave second F-15 pilot/WSO who survived after being grounded, we now know what he said after being ejected from the aircraft.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the second pilot/WSO from the downed F-15 fighter jet on Friday was saved in an on-ground US rescue mission Saturday night, which involved an epic and grueling battle with Iranian forces.

The pilot was successfully rescued and exfiltrated following an intense firefight. He was injured after ejecting himself from the F-15 but is now safe.

Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin revealed that no Americans were killed during the operation.

The Fox News journalist additionally noted that different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.

“It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well-placed source told Griffin.

Several videos emerged on X showing the mission’s difficulty and violence.

During an interview with Axios, President Trump went into more detail about the mission.

This included the fact that the U.S. at first worried that a message from the stranded pilot of the F-15 shot down by Iran was a trap set by the Iranians to lure U.S. forces into a bloodbath.

Trump also revealed the pilot gave a short message on the radio that seemed ‘unusual.’

“He said, ‘Power be to God,’ ” Trump told Axios.

“What he said on the radio sounded like something a Muslim would say,” the president added.

A U.S. defense official later confirmed Trump’s account but said the phrase was actually slightly different: “God is good.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also posted “God is good” on X this morning.

God was indeed good not only to the courageous pilot but also to all of the soldiers who took part in this daring rescue mission.

Just another example of how faith can and does empower us.

Kristen Welker, the Harvard-educated host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” made an elementary error on Sunday that any regular follower of politics would easily avoid.

Welker was holding court with a panel discussing the ongoing DHS shutdown orchestrated by the Democrats when she seemingly forgot that someone was running the department.

“There’s the fact that there is no head of DHS right now at a time when DHS is shut down,” Welker says.

That would certainly come as alarming news to millions of Americans if it were true.

Thankfully, Welker’s statement is completely false. Had she bothered to do her homework, she would have known that Mullin was sworn in as DHS Secretary back on March 24.

Former Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson then responded without bothering to correct Welker’s error. Instead, he discussed pieces of legislation that could potentially reopen the federal government.

Internet users mocked Welker following her mistake.

While it may be fun to mock Welker, it’s important to remember that millions of Americans watch her show and consider her a reliable source of information.

An incident like this should also encourage conservatives to go on left-leaning shows like “Meet the Press” if only to fact-check the hosts.

This past week, Saudi Prince Mohammad bin Salman revealed that President Obama gave Iran $150 billion when Obama was in office, and the regime did not even build a single street with that money.

Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones and to fortify their proxy armies in the region like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers a safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons, who was indoctrinated into jihadism.

This was Barack Obama’s way of destabilizing the Middle East. And Obama did this all in public view. Well, most of it.

This was a direct threat against Israel and American allies in the region. Obama always brought chaos with him and left a trail of destruction. He took actions to spread this chaos and evil across the Middle East.

The Gateway Pundit readers know that we have reported on Barack Obama’s pallets of cash sent to Iran in the dead of night.

Obama paid the terrorist regime billions.

It was such a dangerous move that the Saudi leader is now openly condemning Obama’s dangerous actions in the region.

Middle East 24 reported:

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman delivered one of his most direct public assessments of the Iranian regime, describing it as a purely ideological project with no interest in serving its own people and every interest in funding terrorism and destabilizing the region.

His evidence was concrete. Iran received $150 billion in sanctions relief yet did not build a single street, residential complex, or industrial facility for its citizens. Every dollar went toward launching missiles at Saudi Arabia and financing terrorist organizations across the world.

MBS went further than most Western leaders have been willing to go publicly, stating directly that Iran’s support for terrorism extends well beyond Hezbollah and the Houthis. He noted that senior Al-Qaeda leaders are residing inside Iran today, including Osama bin Laden’s son, who was raised in Iran and is now positioning himself as the next leader of Al-Qaeda.

The Crown Prince said Saudi Arabia has no ambiguity about these dangers and is actively coordinating with partners on how to address them to keep the Middle East, Europe, and the broader world safe from what he called these destructive ideologies.

The statement represents one of the clearest and most comprehensive public indictments of the Iranian regime from a sitting Arab head of government, delivered at a moment when Iran is simultaneously firing missiles at Saudi territory and running proxy networks from Beirut to Khartoum to Sanaa.

Senator Dave McCormick was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about the amazing rescue of a downed F-15 airman in Iran.

“Senator, welcome back. Your reaction to this rescue mission?” Bream asked.

“What an Easter miracle,” McCormick said.

“There are just so many heroes in this story. The fact that the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman, and the military leadership would do anything necessary to get this airman back on our side, back home,” McCormick said.

“As a soldier, when you are going into enemy territory, to know that the American people and America is going to do everything it can to get you home is critical,” McCormick said.

“We have the heroes in the intel community who use misdirection to take the Iranians in a different direction and who also identified where this man was, which made the operation possible,” McCormick continued.

“We had hundreds of special operators and aircraft in the region, and then this guy, this airman, was an absolute hero. He climbed 7,000 feet. When the planners were trying to identify where he was, they couldn’t imagine that he was both injured and was able to get to that point where he could be eventually rescued,” McCormick explained.

“A remarkable operation that only America, only the American military, and the American intel community could pull off,” McCormick said.

“I think just a continuation of the demonstration that we have seen over the last six weeks of America’s unique military capability,” McCormick continued.

“What does it tell you about where we are with the capabilities of Iran’s missile launching, their air defenses. The fact that they do still have some tools in their belts?” Bream asked.

“I think you really have to step back. Five Presidents have essentially said that we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, and that Iran building up its capabilities in the region has to be checked,” McCormick said.

Senator McCormick said that it was President Trump who took action against the Iranian regime in order to keep America safe.

“This President has taken leadership to systematically eliminate this threat to America’s allies, to the American people,” McCormick said.

It is now being reported that the legendary Navy SEAL Team 6 was the unit behind successfully rescuing a downed U.S. Airman from deep behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran.

According to reporting from The New York Times, the high-risk operation unfolded over a tense 48-hour window after an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down during ongoing military operations against the Iranian regime.

While the pilot was quickly recovered, the aircraft’s weapons systems officer, a U.S. Air Force colonel, was left stranded in hostile territory, hunted by Iranian forces and facing near-certain capture or death.

But America, under President Trump, doesn’t leave its warriors behind.

President Donald Trump confirmed the successful rescue early Sunday morning:

Full statement from President Trump:

WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND!

This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue.

At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine.

This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory.

WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies.

This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

According to the New York Times report, the rescue involved hundreds of special operations troops, dozens of warplanes and helicopters, and the full might of U.S. cyber, space, and intelligence assets.

SEAL Team 6 went in hot, deep into the Zagros Mountains of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, more than 200 miles inside Iran.

The airman had evaded capture for over 24 hours, hiking a 7,000-foot ridgeline with nothing but a pistol, his SERE training, an encrypted beacon, and sheer American grit.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps thugs and even local Bakhtiari tribesmen were scouring the area, with the mullahs’ regime broadcasting bounties and begging civilians for help finding him.

But the CIA ran a brilliant deception operation to throw the Iranians off the scent, convincing them the airman was already in a convoy heading out of the country.

U.S. attack aircraft pounded Iranian convoys to keep the enemy at bay while the SEALs moved in.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier:

An official confirmed to the New York Times that not a single American hero was wounded during the complex and violent operation.

What makes this even more remarkable is that the operation involved hundreds of special operations forces, several warplanes and helicopters, and advanced intelligence capabilities involving cyber and space.

Not to mention Iranian terrorists unleashing hellfire on them as the rescue mission unfolded.

Per the Daily Mail, the mission’s success was aided when Iranian forces were deceived after the CIA spread the word that US forces had already found the colonel.

In a final twist, two US transport planes were sent to extract the team became stranded at a remote base inside Iran, but our military had a solution.

Commanders ordered them destroyed rather than risk sensitive equipment falling into enemy hands, flying in replacement aircraft to complete the escape, the Times reported.

The airman himself performed feats of ingenuity to save himself from Iranian forces, despite being injured.

He moved away from the plane wreckage and hid on higher ground while signaling for assistance.

Several INCREDIBLE New Details Emerge on the Legendary Rescue of 2nd F-15 Pilot in Iran, Including a Clever Trick the CIA Pulled on the Iranians and a Final Twist

The New York Times reported:

A senior U.S. military official described the mission to rescue the airman as one of the most challenging and complex in the history of U.S. special operations given the mountainous terrain, the airman’s injuries and Iranian forces rushing to the location.

In a final twist after the weapons officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airman, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into Iranian hands.

This is the same unit that shot and killed Osama bin Laden at his “Waziristan Haveli” in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2, 2011.

Two helicopters flown by U.S. Army aviators carried 23 Navy SEALs, along with an interpreter and a combat dog, into Abbottabad, Pakistan, to execute the raid.
