Small Business Ownership Among Black Americans Jumps 400% Since Trump's Election

Now they gave immunity to his bookkeeper. This fishing expedition needs to end. I hope it makes conservatives realize how important it is to vote this year. I can't imagine the games they are going to play if they take the House.

Trump’s so-called ‘racial invective’ is purely imaginary.

National Review
Deroy Murdock

Just in time for the final campaign sprint from Labor Day to Election Day, the Washington Post recently published a veritable how-to guide to smear the GOP as the party of bigotry. Blending distortions of current events and dishonesty about U.S. history, this article recycled enough old chestnuts on alleged Republican racism to stuff a Thanksgiving turkey.

Ashley Parker, Sung Min Kim, and Robert Costa penned an article titled “‘I’m not going there’: As Trump hurls racial invective, most Republicans stay silent.” Starting with contemporary controversies, the Post claimed that President Donald J. Trump has “immersed the nation in a new wave of fraught battles over race.” But these disputes involve ethnicity only if ones shoves them through the over-deployed prism of race.

According to the Post, Trump’s denunciation of his former aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman as a “dog” was clearly a racist — well — dog whistle. The paper ignored the fact that Trump has used Twitter to chomp canine bites out of whites, both male and female:

∗ “Sloppy Steve [Bannon] has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone.”

* “@EWErickson got fired like a dog from RedState and now he is the one leading opposition against me.”

* “@DavidGregory got thrown off of TV by NBC, fired like a dog!”

* Arianna Huffington “is a dog who wrongfully comments on me.”

Several observers also have remarked that Trump’s references to Representative Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) as “low IQ” and to various knee-taking football players as “dumb” also prove Trump’s anti-black bigotry. This theory collapses the second that one remembers the Caucasians whose intellects Trump has lampooned:

* “Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot — resign!”

* “I know Mark Cuban well . . . He’s not smart enough to run for president!”

* “Great job @MariaTCardona on @ThisWeekABC. You made kooky Cokie Roberts and @BillKristol look even dumber than they are.”

* “Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!”

* “While I have never met @nytdavidbrooks of the NY Times, I consider him one of the dumbest of all pundits — he has no sense of the real world!”

Are these and similar Twitter barbs unpresidential?

Yes.

Do such comments needlessly distract from Trump’s public-policy priorities and other serious issues?

Yes.

Are Trump’s remarks racist?

No.

The Post quotes frequent Trump foe Senator Jeff Flake. Apparently tired of being a burr beneath Trump’s saddle, the Arizona Republican will retire in January. Flake slams Trump for “failure to, you know, condemn in Charlottesville” and for the “Muslim ban.” Flake should know better, and the Post did not correct him. Trump did, in fact, denounce last August’s mayhem in Charlottesville, soon after it began.

On August 12, at 10:19 a.m., Trump said via Twitter: “We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for, there is no place for this kind of violence in America. Let’s come together as one!”

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence, on many sides,” Trump told journalists later that day, as the carnage roared on, thanks to white-nationalist brutes on one fringe and Antifa thugs on the other.

“Racism is evil,” Trump said two days later. “And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

As for the so-called “Muslim ban,” the Supreme Court in June upheld Trump’s temporary restrictions on travel from, previously, eight majority-Muslim nations that failed U.S. security requirements. Iraq, Sudan, and Chad moved off of this list by obeying these regulations, which still hinder these five garden spots: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.

As Chief Justice John Roberts’s majority opinion explained, Trump’s “policy covers just 8 percent of the world’s Muslim population.” A “ban” that excludes 92 percent of Earth’s Muslims hardly reeks of prejudice.

The Post claimed that Trump rode “to electoral victory by focusing almost exclusively on disaffected white voters.” In fact, Trump did something seldom seen among GOP presidential nominees: He asked for black votes. Trump stumped in black churches in Detroit and Flint, Mich., and at a Cleveland charter school. “What the hell do you have to lose?” Trump asked black voters at numerous rallies. Trump won 8 percent of the black vote, up from 6 percent for Mitt Romney in 2012. Trump also won 28 percent of the Hispanic vote, including 32 percent of Hispanic men. Thus, Trump’s winning coalition was black, brown, and white.

“Beginning with the violent opposition among some white voters to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Republican leaders began appealing to white voters,” the Post stumbled down memory lane. It forgot that Democrats filibustered against that landmark legislation. A former Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, led the charge. Democrats J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee were among those who tried to keep Jim Crow alive. They lost when Republican leader Everett McKinley Dirksen of Illinois rallied GOP senators and anti-segregationist Democrats, stymied the Southern Democrats’ speechathon, and transmitted the bill to President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s desk for signature.

The Post chided Richard Nixon and the GOP for allegedly luring white votes “with calls for ‘law and order.’” The decades-old Left-wing claim that demanding “law and order” is pro-white is, itself, racist. Blacks do not enjoy crime and chaos today, nor did we in 1968. With cities ripped by riots and campus ROTC offices ablaze, America needed, and most Americans wanted, law and order. Such pleas were no more anti-black than ringing the fire department while one’s roof is burning.

The Post also neglected to state that the allegedly racist Nixon opened the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and launched the Philadelphia Plan, which established pro-minority racial preferences in federally funded construction projects. This would seem to undermine the supposedly bigoted goals of the so-called “Southern strategy” of campaigning in Dixie.

“During the 1980 campaign,” the Post noted, “Ronald Reagan was criticized for speaking about states’ rights near Philadelphia, Miss., the town where three civil rights workers were murdered in 1964.” That August 3, Reagan addressed the Neshoba County Fair, a popular campaign stop celebrated in that June’s National Geographic. Reagan briefly mentioned “states’ rights” in the middle of a lighthearted, funny, race-neutral speech. “States’ rights,” also called federalism, has been a basic tenet of conservatism since the Tenth Amendment.

The Post ignored the fact that Reagan flew the very next day to Manhattan to address the Urban League, a major civil-rights organization. Also, as president, Reagan signed the Martin Luther King holiday into law and approved an extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — hardly the stuff of white supremacism. As for the “racist” Neshoba County Fair, that notorious white nationalist, Governor Michael Dukakis (D., Mass), campaigned there for president in 1988.

Next, the Post hammered George H. W. Bush “for airing a television ad that showed the image of a convicted black murderer, Willie Horton, in arguing that his Democratic rival was soft on crime.” Bush did not produce this 1988 spot. Conservative activist Floyd Brown did so, independently. He, in turn, may have been inspired by the man who first invoked Horton: U.S. Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (D., Tenn.). Gore unsuccessfully weaponized Horton to demolish Dukakis as pro-criminal.


The Post frets that “the ­president remains deeply popular within a party dominated by older white voters.” Overlooked is the fact that Trump’s job approval among blacks, according to Rasmussen, has climbed from 19 percent in August 2017 to 36 percent last week. The Post article may reflect Democrats’ growing panic over how this could damage their midterm prospects — especially if Trump wisely campaigns before black audiences, trumpets the near-record black employment levels his policies have catalyzed, and urges black voters to fuel further pro-market growth by voting Republican in November.

Thus, this Washington Post hit piece is a classic left-wing template for tarring the Republican party as the natural home of American bigots. Here, classic means shopworn, discredited, and untrue. Alas, thanks to relentless repetition, these virulent lies also are tougher to shake than shingles.

From pool report:

Kellyanne Conway introduced POTUS to a young girl in an Ohio classroom.

Conway told the president the girl wanted to be the first female president.

“Is that right?” Trump said.

“I told her we kept open the job for first female president,” Conway said.

Keep your eyes and ears focused and tuned in to what's happening in New York. That's where Trump's downfall will be if there's going to be one. Not only for Trump himself, but his children and the Trump Organization too. I believe that Mueller and the New York AG are working in tandem to not only bring Trump down but to destroy him financially as well. I'm sensing the same concerns in Rush, Mark Levin and Hannity. I'm beginning to wonder if this whole thing was ever about impeachment. I hope I'm wrong, I really, really do.

If so: match, meet powder keg.

Man, who wants to listen to this stuff? What's the point?

You're right, I make it a point to tune into Rush and Mark every day...maybe I'm over saturated...maybe I need to take a break from it all.

Anyone think we've seen Donald Trump really fight yet? Trump hasn't taken the gloves off yet and as President he's not without the means to fight back.

I'm still waiting for the Russian collusion.
Seems President Trump is a one man show. Where are the people of his party? Little to no support.

2 years wasted because the beast didn't win. We have 2 countries here.

Deep State DOJ Tells Court it is Unable to Give Judicial Watch Requested Fusion GPS Documents Due to a “Glitch”

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch attended a hearing in federal court this week after the Justice Department failed to respond to a December 12, 2017, FOIA request seeking records on oppo research firm Fusion GPS.

A backup copy is on Weiner's laptop.

The two tier Justice system needs to be squashed.

I was skeptical of President Trump, when I voted for him.
It was more of a vote against Hillary.

President Trump has exceeded my expectations in all areas, except for draining the swamp.
It appears the President does not have the support he needs to pull the plug.

The upcoming election is critical to our survival as a free nation.

This two tier Justice system will be the downfall of our nation if we fail to give him the support he needs by getting out in full force to vote Republican.
This includes voting for those we may consider RHINO.'s

Either all the negative crap is so insidious that it has even infected them, or they feed off it just as much as CNN and MSNBC. My bet is on the latter. After all, this is the side their bread is buttered on.

Name two people in the media who have defended him more than Rush or Hannity. Do you realize how much the rest of the media is talking about this right now? Think what you want, but I don't want them silent on this. They are doing the right thing by trying to counter it as much as possible.

John Brennan agrees with Bill Maher that Trump presidency is 'third great crisis in American history'

Former CIA Director John Brennan on Friday escalated his war of words with President Trump -- agreeing with HBO host Bill Maher than Trump’s presidency “is the third great crisis in American history” behind the Revolutionary War and Civil War.

“I think we are in a crisis that is the third great crisis in American history,” Maher said on "Real Time," saying that he felt it was more of a crisis than the Depression but behind the Revolutionary War and Civil War. “Would you rank the crisis we’re in now that way?”

“I would,” Brennan said. “And I think it’s going to get worse before it gets better, because don’t forget: Donald Trump has the authority of the president of the United States in his hands, in terms of what he can do domestically here and as well as what he can do internationally to try to distract attention, whether or not he’s going to try to pursue some type of foreign adventure, military or otherwise.”

Trump yanked Brennan’s security clearance last week, with the White House claiming that Brennan had been “leveraging” the clearance” to make “wild outbursts” about the Trump administration.

Brennan, who joined NBC News and MSNBC in February as a contributor and senior national security and intelligence adviser, has not held back in his criticism of Trump. On his Twitter account, he had called Trump’s behavior at a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July “nothing short of treasonous.”

Why Won’t Jeff Sessions Resign? Answer: Because The Deep State Won’t Let Him

Posted on August 24, 2018 by DCWhispers

A stronger/less compromised Attorney General would have shut down the anti-Trump investigations months ago. The fake Russia collusion charge was found to be a hoax last year and yet Robert Mueller was allowed to then greatly expand his investigation and now seeks to try and destroy everything Donald Trump has built – including the president’s family, friends, and longtime business associates. All of them are being punished for one thing – winning the White House and putting America first. Jeff Sessions has been critical in allowing Mueller’s powers to expand and despite President Trump’s increasing (and understandable) frustration over that fact, Sessions refuses to step down. The reason why is simple – the Deep State won’t let him.

Were Sessions to resign, President Trump would be allowed to quickly choose a replacement who would not be required to obtain approval from Congress. As such, this replacement would be a direct threat to the Deep State’s actions against the current administration. An Attorney General would have the power to turn over the corruption tables in D.C. and expose everything and everyone should they choose to do so.

Sessions hides in his office while Obama-appointed DOJ officials are allowed free reign over the anti-Trump investigative machine.

If Trump were to fire his attorney general then replacements would have to come from individuals who have already been confirmed by the Senate. The first in line would be the DOJ’s #2 – Rod Rosenstein, a Deep State holdover himself who has been instrumental in helping create the current Mueller investigation that seeks to destroy all things Trump.

If Sessions resigns, though, Trump is allowed a far cleaner path to replace him with anyone he chooses – on a temporary/emergency basis and that is something the Deep State does not want. Imagine Rudy Guiliani suddenly being made Attorney General. Should Sessions resign President Trump could do just that. And imagine then Guiliani with the power to rip through the corrupt DOJ and FBI and uncover just how deep that corruption goes – and who it truly implicates. (most certainly former presidents)

Consider that in 2017, Devin Nunes, a Republican congressman investigating the Russian collusion hoax, was sounding the alarm against Attorney General Sessions. Nunes said the following:
“…Give us the information in a timely manner. I mean, just give us all the information. Just give it to us so that the investigators that have the oversight role can properly go through everything. But when they — the more that they spread this out bit by bit by bit, the more ridiculous they look and the more dishonest they look and the more corrupt –“

Sessions has sat back and allowed the DOJ’s anti-Trump corruption to not only continue but to thrive while he hides behind his self-imposed recusal exile.

He should resign but he won’t. If he steps aside President Trump has an opening to put somebody to head the DOJ unincumbered by whatever power the Deep State now holds over Jeff Sessions.

In the meantime, the Mueller witch hunt continues and all of the success America has enjoyed since the 2016 Election faces greater and greater peril.

Don't know why in the name of Hades President Trump didn't put Rudy in that spot to begin with. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten Congressional approval?? I'm SURE there had to be much better choices than Sessions, but who woulda known he would become a bump on a log...not to disparage bumps on logs.
