Young black conservatives unite around President Trump
Published 1 hour ago By Emily DeCiccio, Christopher Howard | Fox News
Chants of ‘We love Trump, U-S-A!’ echoed across the East Room of the White House before, during, and after President Donald Trump’s address to hundreds of young black conservatives.
The President’s address was part of the Young Black Leaders Summit (YBLS), a four-day conference focused on millennial-aged, conservative black Americans. The student-activist group, Turning Point USA, is hosting the event.
Brandon Tatum is Director of Urban Engagement at Turning Point USA, and he told Fox News that the YBLS is symbolic for black voters. “YBLS is important because it gives an example to this country that black voters are not monoliths and think for ourselves,” said Tatum.
Turning Point’s Communications Director Candace Owens told Fox News that the YBLS is working to change the narrative when it comes to President Trump and the Democratic Party for black Americans.
“Despite all of the lies and propaganda, black Americans are waking up,” said Owens. “Black Americans are realizing that this person you’ve painted as a monster seems to be bringing results that you’ve promised for decades and never delivered.”
President Trump touted historic gains for black Americans during his tenure in office which included a 5.9 percent unemployment rate for in May 2018. It’s the lowest black unemployment rate in recorded American history and also contributes to a closing gap between black and white unemployment.
“For decades policies advanced by Democrats have and eliminated opportunity and wiped out good paying jobs and even great paying jobs for the black community,” declared President Trump. “The results really speak for themselves, it was just announced last quarter that the economy beat all expectations, growing at 3%, 3.5%, and now they think it could be well into the fours.”
Attendees of the summit gathered outside of the White House following the President’s address, inspired to tell their own journey into conservatism.
“I don’t have a lot of people in my community who are like-minded as me, and I’m used to getting racial slurs thrown at me like a coon or Uncle Tom,” YBLS attendee Shawn Gamble told Fox News. “I wanted to come here to connect with other black conservatives.”
There's a sea change happening with black and Hispanic voters, thanks to Donald Trump.

I just drove across the Midwest from Florida on a pheasant hunt in South Dakota. Lots of MAGA hats along the way and folks are pretty vocal in support of Republicans. I am thinking the pollsters are asking questions in the wrong places.

So it is possibly 55-57% in the real world. Can you imagine what it would be if the President only received fair and balanced coverage in the MSM? 65%? More?

I feel certain that the 50% approval figure is disappointing to some. However, it does bode well for us for this mid term election.

INTERVIEW - JOE DIGENOVA - Legal Analyst & Fmr. U.S. Attorney to the District of Columbia
"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
Trump Is Planning to End Birthright Citizenship Through Executive Order
President Trump is planning to end birthright citizenship, calling the right for babies of noncitizens and illegal immigrants born in the U.S. to have citizenship “ridiculous.”
"How ridiculous, we're the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits,” Trump told “Axios on HBO.” “It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous and it has to end.
Previously Trump said he was initially told it could only happen through a constitutional amendment, but now an executive order may be sufficient.
"It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment," he told Axios’s Jonathan Swan. "Guess what? You don't."
"You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress. But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order," said Trump.
The president confirmed to Axios that he’s had the conversation with counsel and that “it’s in the process.”

Absolutely. But it would be even better to have it changed through Congress as well. Make it permanent.

Remember when the court dismissed one of Stormy Daniels claims against President Trump ? And the court allowed team Trump to submit claims for legal costs ?
They did. $ 341,559.
from CTH (Conservative TreeHouse)
Attorneys representing the interests of President Trump in the case of Gifford v. Trump previously won a dismissal of all claims against Mr. Trump. As a consequence the court ordered the plaintiff “Stormy Daniels” and her creepy porn lawyer, Michael Avenatti, to reimburse Donald Trump’s legal team for all expenses incurred during their defense of the frivolous lawsuit.
The lawyers representing Mr. Trump filed a motion with the court and now submit a claim for $341,559.50 for legal costs incurred
Court date for this motion: 26 Nov 2018
Ms. Gifford raised more than $580k from left-wing political supporters via her “Crowd Justice” campaign as established by her Creepy Porn Lawyer.

Of course they are! It is all part of the commie plot/plan to continue the US's slide into that "democrat hell hole" they are so proud of.

There is another thread on this issue. I personally believe a new Amendment would be necessary. And I think it would be ratified.

Oh jeez, Babs is making all kinds of dangerous threats now
"Barbra Streisand is once again thinking about leaving the United States for political reasons.
In a Tuesday interview with The New York Times, the 76-year-old star admitted that she's considering moving to Canada if the Democrats don't win a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections next week.
"I want to sleep nights, if we take the House I’ll be able to sleep a little bit better," Streisand told the outlet, adding that if they don't take control she's been "thinking about" a potential move.
"I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know. I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country."
"It’s making me fat," she continued. "I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening. We make them with healthy flour, though — almond flour, coconut flour."
Babs, you're just a stupid bitch. You made the same exact threat in 2016, what happened...and why Canada, is Mexico just a bit too "diverse" for you?
Just go, just go, get the fuck out of my country.

It’s OK when a woman falsely accuses Kavanaugh, but Mueller doesn’t like it when he’s the target.
“Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office has asked the FBI to probe an alleged attempt to smear Mueller with fabricated claims of sexual harassment…”
Nobody I know is tired of winning yet. 6 more years of it and I can't believe I'll be tired of it then. If the dems get to control the congress in the midterms coming right up they'll be able to shit on the party cake though.
I already voted. Did something I've never done before. Straight republican. Usually vote the best person. This go round I voted for some guy I've never heard of as he was an R, and if enough of us to it, we can keep the country on track.

Yeah, the problem is we are in a battle of us vs them, good vs evil, conservative vs liberal, and ultimately that means Republican vs Democrat. I used to think that way too - "vote for the best guy" and I asked my wife "name one good democrat that is worth voting for over ANY Republican and she couldn't answer. So I rest my case and she gives me grief no more for straight Ticket Voting. Since voting is all done in a block it is the only way now days.
