Top Corporations Fund Former Obama Official Calling To 'Wage War on Whiteness'
David Johns's National Black Justice Coalition is also an HHS grantee


Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a "racial justice" group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called "white mediocrity" and urged a "woke" army of black youth "to wage war with whiteness."

David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs.



Johns is the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a black LGBT group that aims to fight "anti-Blackness." The nonprofit lists companies like Airbnb, Sephora, Sony, and Procter & Gamble as sponsors. Procter & Gamble, which sells household brands like Gillette and Charmin, contributed $515,000 to the National Black Justice Coalition in 2023, around one-fourth of the nonprofit’s budget, according to tax records. The Department of Health and Human Services under President Biden awarded the National Black Justice Coalition a $1.2 million contract through 2026 as part of the government’s "Let’s Stop HIV Together" campaign. It is unclear if HHS is still funding the coalition, but Johns said last month his organization was "proud to be a grantee" of the HIV program.

Speaking at the anti-Target event, Johns endorsed the boycott and railed against President Donald Trump as a "fascist trying to rob us of our wealth." He also urged black consumers to shop at black-owned businesses as part of a movement to "reclaim … African ways of being."

"We don’t need nothing from white people. We don’t need nothing from white people," said Johns. "They can’t even make potato salad."

"We have everything we need to ensure that our babies are woke, that they are critical thinkers, that they are equipped to do the kind of work to wage war with whiteness," said Johns, adding that "we don't need to be lulled by the trappings of white mediocrity."

Self-proclaimed Hamas operative in US Air Force indicted over pipe bomb plot: ‘Been a terrorist since I was a kid’

A self-described Hamas operative who infiltrated the US Air Force and once boasted that he’s “been a terrorist since he’s been a kid” was hit with additional charges this week alongside two Pittsburgh women after the feds foiled an apparent terror plot involving a pair of pipe bombs.

Mohamad Hamad, 23, who has dual citizenship in the US and Lebanon, was already charged for defacing a synagogue was hit Tuesday with a nine-count superseding indictment along with Talya Lubit, 24, and Micaiah Collins, 22.

“Mohamad Hamad lied about his loyalty to the United States, among other false statements, in an attempt to obtain a Top-Secret security clearance,” Acting US Attorney Troy Rivetti said.

The Remarkable Rags-to-Riches Story of Stacey Abrams

By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector.


Financial records show that when she first entered statewide politics in 2018, she reported a net worth of less than $109,000. By 2022, the last year she had to publicly file a financial report, it had grown to more than $3.2 million. Abrams is probably even better off than that, thanks to her latest venture: Rewiring America, which uses federal funds to provide low-income people with free electric appliances.

The green-energy startup hired Abrams as senior counsel in 2023 after she helped secure federal funding for the nonprofit by putting together an umbrella group that applied for and won grants totaling $1.9 billion from the Biden Environmental Protection Agency, according to a podcast interview she gave last year. Those funds were frozen last month by the Trump administration while it investigates the grant application and award process along with Congress.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
But in the seven years since then, Abrams has seen a miraculous turnaround in her finances – going from someone with “precious little” to a multimillionaire. And it all happened after she ran unsuccessfully for governor of Georgia, first in 2018 and then again in 2022, during which she raised a combined $81 million. It’s unusual. Most politicians build wealth after reaching high office, but Abrams did so after losses vaulted her to celebrity status, achieved in part by blaming racially discriminatory voter suppression for her loss.

NJ Gov. Orders Local Police to Stop Working with Immigration Officials


The Democrat governor of New Jersey has ordered the state’s police departments to stop cooperating with immigration officials.

The orders came from New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin, according to New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust Directive, Shore News Network reported.


Murphy’s directive came on the heels of the Trump administration’s addition of 27,000 “Outstanding Administrative Warrants for Removal from the United States” to the FBI’s National Crime Information center (NCIC) as the administration works to fulfill the president’s immigration orders.

“These Administrative Warrant messages appear in NCIC in a method that ALL members are to note they are NOT to be broadcast as ‘NCIC Hits,'” Colonel Patrick Callahan of the New Jersey State Police wrote in an internal memo. “NJDSP members are NOT permitted to contact ICE via the phone numbers provided.”


U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba pushed back on the directives, though, warning New Jersey officials in a post on X, saying, “Let me be clear: Executive Orders will be followed and enforced in the State of New Jersey.”


Callahan’s memo is in keeping with New Jersey’s 2018 Immigrant Trust Directive prohibiting state law enforcement agencies from working with federal law enforcement agencies.


Callahan also noted that law enforcement must not alert ICE, even when they come across someone on the alert list or come across them in the normal course of their duties and pointed out that helping ICE with NCIC warrants is not allowed under state law.

Callahan’s memo states:

A sample of how these Administrative Warrant messages appear in NCIC is attached. ALL members must be aware they are NOT to be broadcast as ‘NCIC Hits,’ which would lead our members to believe they are required to arrest the subject. As the Attorney General’s Immigrant Trust Directive outlines, we are NOT to arrest subjects on the ‘Outstanding Administrative Warrant’ entries, even if no other entries are provided. Also, upon receiving notification of an ‘Outstanding Administrative Warrant,’ NJSP members are NOT permitted to contact ICE via the phone numbers provided.
