‘Reverend’ Al Sharpton silent as TV show guest calls VP Pence a ’Jesus whisperer’

Thomas Lifson  "Outright anti-Christian bigotry evidently is now acceptable on both CNN and MSNBC, as Trump Derangement Syndrome drives the haters insane, lashing out at everyone and anyone who supports Trump, or who might place something higher in importance than getting rid of the duly elected POTUS.

"Al Sharpton, who used to present himself as a man of the cloth in the Christian faith yesterday found acceptable the deriding of a man who prays and follows the scriptural dictates of his (and Shapton’s?) religion.

"Watch as Tiffany Cross, “the Co-Founder, Managing Editor and Curator of The Beat DC, a political platform highlighting the diversity that leads the nation’s capital,” mocks a Christian believer as a “Jesus whisperer.' ”

 

"Ms. Cross bills herself on her own website as “your expert for all things media, politics, and diversity.” That diversity does not extend to believing Christians.

 

"As Taylor Swift warbled, “haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate.' ”

 

Pundits attack Pences; suggest ‘Jesus Whisperer’s’ wife should lose secret service protection because of religion  . . . "Many people, including beloved left-wing celebrity Oprah Winfrey, have said that God speaks to them metaphorically, but none of them were ever mocked over their beliefs like Pence.
"Because of the vice president’s involvement with the Trump administration, the left feels as if it’s perfectly OK to demean, disparage and mock his religious beliefs.
"And part of the reason the left feels this way is because of the media’s previously tacit — but now clearly manifest — endorsement of anti-Christian bigotry and hatred. . . ."

Along with all this, the Christian faith is certainly not helped by many comedic TV evangelists and their lavish lifestyles. American culture seems to be much as the early Corinthians, yet Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against His body of Believers.

Here's The DEAL to End Partial SHUTDOWN; Dems Cool to Offer

Tony Branco

Socio-Political-Journal... . . . "Trump’s move marks a rare outreach in a week where both sides appear to have hardened in their positions, with Trump canceling a Democratic delegation’s military flight to Afghanistan after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on him to delay his State of the Union address earlier in the week. On Saturday, Trump described Pelosi as being “controlled by the radical left.”

"Trump’s proposal was quickly swatted down by Democrats with Pelosi coming out ahead of the announcement and saying that reports of the proposal indicated a "compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives."

" 'It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter," she said in a statement. "For one thing, this proposal does not include the permanent solution for the Dreamers and TPS recipients that our country needs and supports." 

"Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., also rejected it ahead of the announcement." . . .

Trump’s Reelection Chances May Be Better Than You Think

In counting the financial war chests of candidates, has anyone calculated the dollar value of slanted news and entertainment that is thoroughly in the tank for liberals?

Victor Davis Hanson

Whether or not they like Trump, millions of voters still think the president is all that stands between them and socialism, radical cultural transformation, and social chaos.

 

 

"What are Donald Trump’s chances for reelection in 2020?

"If history is any guide, pretty good.
. . .
"Republicans once again figured Obama would be a one-term president. Yet they nominated a Dole-like candidate in the 2012 election. Republican nominee Mitt Romney had little appeal to Republicans’ conservative base and was easily caricatured by the left as an out of touch elite.

"By late 2012, Obama’s approval rating was consistently at or above 50 percent, and he wound up easily beating Romney.

"What is the significance of these rebound stories for Trump, who had a better first midterm result than either Clinton or Obama and similarly low approval ratings?

"People, not polls, elect presidents.

"Presidents run for reelection against real opponents, not public perceptions. For all the media hype, voters often pick the lesser of two evils, not their ideals of a perfect candidate.
We have no idea what the economy or the world abroad will be like in 2020. And no one knows what the country will think of the newly Democrat-controlled Congress in two years.

 

"The public has been hearing a lot from radical new House representatives such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). Their pledges to deliver “Medicare for All,” to phase out fossil fuels, and to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service are occasionally delivered with snark. Tlaib recently used profanity to punctuate her desire to see Trump impeached.

 

"But much of the public supports Trump’s agenda of deregulation, increased oil and gas production, getting tough with China on trade, and stopping illegal immigration.

"A new generation of younger, more conservative Republicans led by firebrand Newt Gingrich and his “Contract with America” gave Republicans a majority in the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Republicans also picked up eight Senate seats in 1994 to take majority control of both houses of Congress.

"It was no wonder that Republicans thought the 1996 presidential election would be a Republican shoo-in. But Republicans nominated 73-year-old Senate leader Bob Dole, a sober but otherwise uninspired Washington fixture.

"By September of 1996, “comeback kid” Clinton had a Gallup approval rating of 60 percent. Dole was crushed in an Electoral College landslide.

"Barack Obama was given a similarly dismal prognosis after the 2010 midterms, when Democrats lost 63 House seats and six Senate seats. Republicans regained majority control of the House, though Democrats clung to a narrow majority in the Senate. At the time, Obama had an approval rating in the mid-40s." . . .
