Was Thomas Jefferson On The Duke Lacrosse Team?


Ann Coulter  "While tearing down everything that's great about our country, the left has always permitted us to celebrate patriotic holidays.
"But this year, on the week that we commemorate the unveiling of the Declaration of Independence, Nike yanked a Betsy Ross tribute sneaker off the market because the American flag didn't sit well with Colin Kaepernick.
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is telling wild, provable lies about America's border agents.
"The charge was first leveled in 1802 by a muckraking, racist, alcoholic journalist, James Callender, who had served prison time for his particular brand of journalism. He had tried to blackmail Jefferson into appointing him postmaster at Richmond. When that failed, Callender retaliated by publicly accusing Jefferson of fathering the first-born son of Sally Hemings -- or, as the charming Callender described her, "a slut as common as the pavement." 
"No serious historian ever believed Callender's defamation -- not Dumas Malone, Merrill Peterson, Douglass Adair or John Chester Miller. Not one. Their reasoning was that there was absolutely no evidence to support the theory and plenty to contradict it.
"The Jefferson-Hemings myth was revived by feminists trying to elevate the role of women in history. Modern pedagogy requires that no period of our past be taught without turning it into a lecture on racism, sexism or homophobia."

. . . "What the DNA tests showed was that Hemings’ firstborn son, Tom -- the Tom whose alleged paternity was the basis for Callender’s accusation -- was not related to any Jefferson male. " . . . Emphasis mine, TD

Small wonder Democrats hate this man.

Democrats’ Leftward Turn Was a Reaction to Hillary Clinton

Donkey Hotey
Jonah Goldberg  "The consensus view on the right is that Hillary Clinton was a primary reason for Donald Trump’s success in 2016. But not all conservatives agree about why that was. 

"For devotees of the Trump-as-savior narrative, Clinton — and all the allegedly nefarious forces at her beck and call — was a uniquely formidable opponent. Defeating her required a different kind of Republican, one who’d be willing to fight as dirty and as tough as the Democrats. This was a “Flight 93 election,” and Trump was the hero we needed to storm the cockpit.

"Others on the right see it differently. It wasn’t so much that Trump was the one person who could beat Clinton, but that she was the one candidate he could beat. In other words, it was only thanks to the fact that she was so unpopular that Trump had a chance. Trump-reluctant Republicans and independents could be persuaded that he was better than Clinton — when presented with a binary choice.

"The latter seems vastly more plausible for the simple reason that Trump didn’t have to convince those voters that Clinton was unlikable and a little scary; he simply had to exploit their pre-existing opinion of her. Indeed, Trump’s continued obsession with bashing Clinton points to how central she is to his identity.

"This has consequences for 2020 because the White House’s entire strategy boils down to making Trump’s opponent more unlikable than he is. If Trump wasn’t responsible for Hillary’s unfavorable numbers in the first place, it remains to be seen whether he can Hillaryize another Democrat." . . .

The way things are in America










Frederica Wilson: People ‘Should Be Prosecuted’ For ‘Making Fun Of Members Of Congress’ Online

Daily Wire




. . . " 'They went inside around 1 p.m. with the purpose of investigating the conditions that migrant children are living in," CBS Miami reported. "Joining Wilson was fellow South Florida Rep. Donna Shalala (FL-27), Rep. Bennie Thompson (MA-02), Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Rep Yvette Clarke (NY-09), Rep. Katherine Clark (MA-05), Rep. John Lewis (GA-05) and Rep. Madeleine Dean (PA-04)."
" 'Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable," Wilson said during a press conference. "We are going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted.' " . . .

Tyranny and fear in American society

President Trump did not create all this, he only revealed it. No matter who is the next Republican president, this will continue. TD

I Was With Andy Ngo When The Antifa Attack Happened. Here Are The Horrifying Pictures  
"Warning: At the bottom of this article, beneath a subheading noting what follows, are grisly photographs of injuries." 
Here they are marching, a sea of black. They are covered head to toe, so it’s nearly impossible to identify anyone who commits a crime. They took over the street, only receiving pushback from the police when they neared the waterfront, a popular tourist and weekend destination.They were chanting “ACAB, all cops are bastards.” There were also chants about Proud Boys and about Ngo. The organized groups in attendance that I noticed included: Black Bloc, Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA), and Skinheads, both RASH and SHARPs.

Police Post Photos Of Andy Ngo’s Attackers, Special Antifa ‘Milkshake Recipe’

. . . "As noted by Portland Police, Antifa is currently permitted to cover their faces during such “protesting,” making it harder for police to identify criminals.

“ 'There is no current law or ordinance prohibiting covering of the face in a protest and commission of a crime, which makes it more difficult for investigators to identify perpetrators of violence. This is exploited by criminals who engage in acts of violence,” a press release from the Portland Police Bureau said." . . .
There is a dispute as to whether the "milkshake" had harmful material in it. But the beating and the blood on Mr. Ngo were all real enough as was the bike lock used by a "Professor" another time to strike a Trump supporter.

Joe Biden Starts Presidential Campaign By Praising Antifa  "Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Antifa in a video announcing his presidential bid Thursday, characterizing the group as “courageous” and saying it’s wrong to draw a moral equivalence between white nationalist groups and those opposing them." . . .



Left Amps Up Justifications For Violence Against Their Political Opponents
. . . "The Boston Globe published an article in April that suggested food service workers should tamper with the food of conservatives, including of Bill Kristol, who has never supported the Trump administration in any way. The Boston Globe later removed their article after severe backlash. Throwing any object at a person is considered assault.
"If You’re Not a Leftist, You’re Fair Game for Assault" . . .

Kaepernick metastasized

Deroy Murdock: Nike steps on its own shoelaces in latest Kaepernick fiasco 
. . . "As for Nike, shame on this corporate giant for caving into this loudmouth. Nike should have ignored Kaepernick and sold these shoes to the millions of Americans who love this country, rather than knuckle under to the rants of this solitary anti-American, tattoo-encrusted loser.
"The only person to escape favorably from this needless mess is Gov. Doug Ducey, R-Ariz.
“ 'Words cannot express my disappointment at this terrible decision,” Ducey said today via Twitter. ”I am embarrassed for Nike. Nike is an iconic American brand and American company. This country, our system of government and free enterprise have allowed them to prosper and flourish.” . . .

California praises the Nike decision to cancel the shoe. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Outrage for Profit – NIKE Pulls “Betsy Ross” Sneaker…
. . . "Having followed politics, economic and multinational corporate interests related to politics and U.S. policy, something about these NIKE moves just doesn’t pass the proverbial sniff test.  
"The purpose of hiring Colin Kaepernick as the multi-million face of the brand was not accidental.  The entire executive suite would be involved in the original decision and launch of the “face of Nike”.  The social justice executives made a purposeful decision to leverage political controversy as part of their brand image and business model." . . .

"LIARS! Video Confirms AOC and Liberal Media Were Complicit in STAGED CRYING HOAX IN EMPTY PARKING LOT"

Rep. Dan Crenshaw calls out Ocasio-Cortez as a liar on detainees drinking from toilets  "Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) continues to delight me with his common sense and honesty.  Yesterday, he did not mince words, calling out Democrats for their game of deliberately denying resources to detention centers for illegals and then criticizing President Trump for the resulting conditions.  And he outright called Rep. Ocasio-Cortex a liar for her claim that detainees were forced to drink from toilets."  Watch the whole thing:

How can any news source ever take what this valley girl says seriously from now on?



The Gateway Pundit  "Photos were released on Tuesday of Democrat Socialist leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sobbing at a border entrance gate.
"The horror of the experience moved her to tears.
"It was suggested that AOC was sobbing presumably at the sight of migrant children being inhumanely detained."

"The sobbing Ocasio-Cortez was holding her hands over her face to hide her pain.
"AOC posted the sad photos to her Twitter page.
"NOW THERE IS VIDEO…
"This was the media being complicit with radical Democrats to create a hoax!" . . .
Watch this contrived spectacle

Hispanic pastors tour border facility lambasted by AOC and say they are ‘shocked by misinformation’  . . . “ 'I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system," Rodriguez, who has advised President Trump and both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform, noted. “To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border.' " . . .

Are these the "toilets" AOC says those people are drinking out of? But if there is no water in the camps, how did the "toilets" get water in them?



People aren't thrilled about Kamala Harris selling 'That Little Girl Was Me' T-shirts: 'Hollow and calculated';

Yahoo  . . . But Harris told Biden at the debate, “Vice President Biden, I do not believe you are a racist. I also believe—and it's personal...it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.”
She said, “And you know, there was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me. So I will tell you that, on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats. We have to take it seriously.' ”

Biden Hits the Skids . . . "In recent years, the Democratic Party has moved far to the left, leaving centrists like Biden not only without support but stunned to be on the receiving end of those same false charges of racism he so freely leveled against Republicans, Biden learned in real time that in a Democratic Party debate a white man cannot win an argument about race with a black woman holding a giant race card. Biden will soon renounce his past opposition to busing and racial quotas. He’ll do this in the vain attempt to hang on to his lead among black Democratic primary voters. All that will do is speed up the day of his ultimate political demise."
