On this week’s edition of Did She Say That, Sonnie Johnson doesn’t want to hear about parents being separated from their children on the border, when progressive policies and institutions like Child Protective Services took her out of the only home she knew as a child.

The left-wing Indivisible website is using the deadly protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday to generate donations and promote “progressivism” through scheduling vigils and other gatherings across the country.

Thursday on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak for Yourself,” co-host Jason Whitlock blamed “hyper-progressive” sports media for the decline in NFL ratings this year. Whitlock explained that while sports culture is conservative, progressivism in the media is “leading the conversation” in sports,

Talk-radio icon Dr. Michael Savage, author of the new book “Scorched Earth: Restoring the Country After Obama,” was a guest on Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM with Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.

On Wednesday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily, podcaster Sonnie Johnson said she was “yelling and screaming” during Donald Trump’s speech in Wisconsin on Tuesday night, because “it felt like a speech that I could have written, that I would have given, that I’ve given so many times, in front of so many audiences.”

David Horowitz’s new book “Progressive Racism” explores the left’s politicized betrayal of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision – a subject which, in Horowitz’s words, “goes to the heart of the most problematic assault on the American social contract.”

If you’re yelling “they must be stopped,” who is your “they”? BLM must be stopped? How are you any different then President Obama? President Obama doesn’t mind saying ISIS must be stopped. He refuses to call ISIS a form of Radical Islam. Under the same principle, conservatives don’t mind saying BLM must be stopped. Yet, they refuse to call out the Progressive ideology that creates groups like Black Lives Matter.

“I think we’re seeing the continuing unfolding of a new intolerance toward traditional religion in the public square, in the United States and in Great Britain,” said Mary Eberstadt, author of It’s Dangerous to Believe: Religious Freedom and Its Enemies, on Tuesday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K.

The libertarian Cato Institute gets right down to it, in a New York Post op-ed titled, “Woodrow Wilson’s racism isn’t the only reason for Princeton to shun his name.” Yes, Cato went there. The libertarian outfit, which mostly seeks to identify with Republicans and conservatives on tax and spending issues, actually threw in with left-wing radical #BlackLivesMatter-type protesters on another important matter—defending the traditional understanding of US history. But as we shall see, the traditional understanding of US history means nothing to Cato.

The American Left has finally caught on that one of the leading lights of the early Progressive movement was a racist, segregationist, and generally unseemly fellow. Princeton’s Black Justice League protestors have urged that early-twentieth century President Woodrow Wilson’s “racist legacy” be acknowledged, and any mention of his existence purged from campus.

In the vast effort to purge American history of anything out of step with the milieu of modern progressivism, college leftists have turned their wrath on one of the fathers of their movement: Woodrow Wilson.

New York City’s Chinatown is bursting with populists, and they’re busting out their support for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Vanity Fair reports.
