The Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico's campaign to make Trump look bad
Geraldo Rivera calls BS on San Juan mayor’s false Trump blame: ‘I’m here. Who is dying?’ "The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, may have bitten off more than she can chew in politicizing the Trump administration’s relief efforts following Hurricane Maria now that Geraldo Rivera is on the case.
#SanJuanMayor says residents are "dying," & somehow @realDonaldTrump is to blame. I'm here. Who is dying? Why? Where? Let me help save them.
"When not busy cranking out nifty custom T-shirts and hats by candlelight, Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz has made a name for herself complaining about the people who have come to her island to help with recovery efforts."
Puerto Rico Mayor SLAMS Anti-Trump Mayor for ‘NOT PARTICIPATING’ in Relief . . . "Cruz has repeatedly accused Trump and the federal government of abandoning Puerto Rico. She demanded in a press conference on Friday that Trump do more to help the island, adding that “we are going to see is something close to a genocide” if more is not done.
EVEN Liberal PBS Debunks the Anti-Trump Media’s Puerto Rico LIES!
"President Trump has bent over backward for Puerto Rico, and the governor appeared on PBS, where he praised Trump for his swift response."
Mayor Perez told TheDC that the story Cruz is telling the media doesn’t mesh with what he has seen from the federal government.\
“ 'My experience is different. I have been participating in different meetings at the headquarters of FEMA and our government and the help is coming in and right now my experience is different from hers. I’m receiving help from the government, we are receiving assistance from FEMA, I got people over here helping us with applications for the people that have damage in their houses. And we have here in Guaynabo, we have thousands of people that lost partially or totally their houses,” said Perez, who is a member of Puerto Rico’s New Progressive Party.
People notice something ODD about San Juan mayor’s T-shirt during CNN interview… . . . "With Cruz prioritizing printing political T-shirts over storm relief, is it any wonder Trump took notice? In fact, Trump’s not the only one to notice the lack of action from Cruz. Asked about the situation, a neighboring mayor blasted Cruz while praising Trump’s response:Guaynabo’s Mayor Angel Perez said he has no idea what the hell Cruz is talking about since his city has been receiving aid. The reason why they are getting help is because Perez has kept on top of relief efforts by attending meetings with officials from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and other federal agencies.“I don’t know why she is saying that,” Perez told the Daily Caller. “She is not participating in any meetings. We had a couple already with the governors and with representation of FEMA and of HUD, these whole federal agencies that have given us help. We are receiving assistance from FEMA. I got people over here helping us with applications for the people that have damage in their houses.”
"Meanwhile, real people are suffering in Puerto Rico. Sadly, liberals are more interested in turning their suffering into a political narrative, rather than actually doing what’s required to help themselves." . . .
"President Trump has bent over backward for Puerto Rico, and the governor appeared on PBS, where he praised Trump for his swift response."
On the NFL protests
Football with a side of sanctimony . . . "Starbucks tried something similar. In 2015, the coffee company encouraged its baristas to engage customers in conversations about race. This effort was terminated within a week, amid a firestorm of criticism, indignation, and jokes. Their customers didn't want coffee served with self-righteousness back then, and football fans don't want to watch sanctimonious football players now.
"The NFL could stop this anytime it wants. In July 2016, for example, the league prohibited Dallas players from wearing decals in support of five Dallas policemen who had been killed in an ambush. " . . .
"This prompted the Ravens and the Jaguars to take their lack of respect for our flag overseas. On September 24 in London, players for those teams kneeled for The Star-Spangled Banner, then stood up for God Save the Queen." . . .
Rick Moran: NFL desperately looking for compromise on anthem protests
. . . "It also leaves the racial protesters out in the cold, preventing them from fulfilling Colin Kaepernick's promise: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.' " . . .
ESPN is indeed becoming more leftist:
Sharpton missed the boat this time:
Thomas Lifson: Al Sharpton, desperate for a popular cause, chases bandwagon that has already departed . . . "There are lots of laws that impact “people of color” more than colorless people (as if Caucasians are transparent). Shall we throw out murder laws because blacks commit that crime more often?"
. . . Sharpton "sparked an actual pogrom, an antisemitic riot in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in 1991, and following his denunciation of “white interlopers” (A Jewish-owned store) in Harlem, Freddie’s Fashion Mart was firebombed with 7 deaths."
Kaepernick, the Smithsonian, and the Lessons of History . . . " Fifty years later, the left has a death grip on the NFL. There is a complete lack of leadership by the NFL owners and the commissioner to hold players accountable for their on-field political actions." . . .
Wall Street vets are threatening to pull the plug on the NFL . . . "On Thursday, Allan Jones, founder of Check Into Cash, said that he is pulling all commercials for his lending companies during NFL games for the rest of the season.
"In other fallout, DirecTV said it will refund subscribers of its NFL Sunday Ticket package if they are opposed to the protests". . .
How Trump beat the NFL "The biggest story of the weekend is from Canton, Ohio, where suddenly -- spontaneously -- for no apparent reason but plain patriotism, the Pro Football Hall of Fame sprouted 800 American flags." . . .
Blame the NFL, Not Trump . . . Trump is not adept at governing, but he is a master culture warrior. He is president because he knows his Middle American, working-class supporters, what angers and energizes them. He also seems to get, in a way his Beltway betters do not, the chasms between elite opinion and grassroots sensibility. His antennae detect when the former is woefully out of touch." . . .
The regret I have is not being able to undo the wrong done to black athletes of the past, such as Satchel Paige and so many others who could not participate in mainstream sports. They were not even allowed to eat in the same restaurants nor stay in the same hotels as whites. They are the ones I wish to have gone back in time and make everything right for, not these wealthy, left-wing anti-American malcontents. TD

Everything (That's Not Sexism) Is Racism
"With such a cynical, divisive and mendacious strategy, is it any surprise that the DNC coffers are running low?"Clarice Feldman "For some time now, Democrats have played the identity politics game, revving up grievances -- real or imagined -- of different ethnic groups with the only commonality a dismissive prejudice against middle-class white men. This divisive disunity strategy served them well for a while, but no longer. With nothing else to replace it, it’s between Scylla and Charybdis -- risk losing the base and seek broader appeal or crash into obscurity. They continue to choose poorly.
"I don’t know the name of the person who created this, but it shows rather well the arguments of the everything-is-racism in their deck of cards:
. . .
"So many of the reported crimes purportedly motivated by Islamophobia have proven to be faked (like the crimes of racism and sexism) that rationally we’ve grown to view all with a jaundiced eye. Still, it took chutzpah for Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (former DNC chair) to suggest that the still barely covered Awan brothers scandal was a product of Islamophobia.
"With such a cynical, divisive and mendacious strategy, is it any surprise that the DNC coffers are running low? Donors and supporters are abandoning the party in droves."
List of NFL Sponsors
Dear NFL: I’m not “boycotting” you. I just don’t care anymore, about you.
"The NFL players’ sideline protests over the National Anthem and flag have angered a lot of people. On the surface, that anger is about patriotism versus a sense of entitlement, with the players having too little of the former and too much of the latter.
"But there’s another feeling of disgust I’m hearing a lot, how the NFL was one of the few remaining places to which we could escape from politics and just be left alone and allowed to enjoy something. The NFL was an escape.
"That’s a sentiment I expressed in my post, NFL picked sides in the culture war, now it has to live with the consequences: . . ."
