Ted Cruz Demolishes Mayor Pete's Malicious Lie About the Founders and Slavery

Buttigieg should know these things — he majored in history and literature at Harvard. Yet the identity politics narrative simplifies the complex history of the Founders, painting them as evil rich old white oppressors. Perhaps Mayor Pete has allowed himself to get infected by a little too much "woke"ness.
Buttigieg tells kids the writers of the Constitution didn’t realize slavery was bad 
"Has anyone had enough of condescending moralist St. Pete Buttigieg, one of our more imperious Democrat candidates for president? Recently, he said Jesus would have likely been fine with abortion, late-term, whatever. He continuously claims he is the great Christian and appears to want to show the rest of us how to live as Christians. What he is preaching is not anything I learned in catechism classes.
"St. Pete told school kids in a video today that “the people who wrote the Constitution did not understand that slavery was a bad thing.” Aside from his condescending attitude towards the great men who wrote our Constitution and fought for freedom at great cost, Buttigieg didn’t even bother to learn a little about how the Founding Fathers felt about slavery." . . .

Ted Cruz Demolishes Mayor Pete's Malicious Lie About the Founders and Slavery 
. . . "Ted Cruz rebuked Buttigieg by posting a string of direct quotes from the Founders.
"Slavery is an evil of Colossal magnitude & I am utterly averse to the admission of slavery into the Missouri Territories. It being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law," Cruz quoted from John Adams, a Founding Father and the second president.
" Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature," he quoted from Benjamin Franklin, who was a member of an abolitionist society. "Neither my tongue, nor my pen, nor purse shall be wanting to promote the abolition of what to me appears so inconsistent with humanity and Christianity."
. . . 
" 'Who talks most about freedom and equality? Is it not those who hold a bill of Rights in one hand and a whip for affrighted slaves in the other?" Cruz quoted from Alexander Hamilton, an abolitionist and the first secretary of the Treasury.
" 'It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished," John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote. "The honor of the States as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. ... To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused. ' "

New York’s Bail Reform Policies Are Setting Anti-Semitic Attackers Free to Attack Again

Legal Insurrection  "In the aftermath of the horrific machete attacks at a Monsey, New York synagogue that left five Jewish people injured Saturday night, Democrats are predictably pointing fingers at President Trump, who they blame for the stabbings.
"Prominent New York Democrats in particular have done much of the finger pointing, as NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio demonstrated during an interview with Fox News’ Ed Henry on Sunday.
An atmosphere of hate has been developing in this country over the last few years. A lot of it is emanating from Washington and it’s having an effect on all of us,” he said.
When asked if he was blaming Trump, he said, “not just the president,” but said “we need a different tone, starting in Washington … that encourage this country to actually find some unity and some common ground” that he does not think the country has had in recent years.
"Governor Andrew Cuomo also didn’t waste any time blaming the president for the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish people in New York state, first in a quick situational update given Sunday morning to reporters – without directly mentioning Trump by name:" . . .

Impeachment Backfiring, California To Lose Congressional Seat For First Time In History

Tony Branco
 Analyzing America   "The latest U.S. Census reveals that the 2020 decennial count may cause California to lose a seat in Congress, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"This would be the first time in California’s history.
"Other “Sun Belt” states may gain congressional representation.
"Political power is shifting away from the Northeast and Midwest toward the Southeast and Southwest.
"Residents seem to be moving to states with warm weather, strong job growth, cheaper housing and, in some cases, lower taxes." . . .

Gabbard Shares What She Believes Impeachment Will Mean for the 2020 Election (And It's Not Good for Dems)

New Census Data Suggests Previous Report Wrong, Republican States Gaining Seats In Congress 
. . . “Based on Monday’s figures, Texas is poised to gain two congressional seats, while Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon are each expected to gain one,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “Eight states are likely to lose one seat: Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, West Virginia and California. It would be California’s first such loss since it became a state in 1850.” . . .
 .  .  . "Perhaps the biggest takeaway from The Wall Street Journal’s report is the revelation 
that California will lose a congressional seat for the first time since 1850. 
 "The Los Angeles Times reported earlier this month that California’s population was set to decrease for the first time in over 100 years:" . . .

Obama Was the Most Anti-Semitic President in History, So Let’s Stop Pointing Fingers at Trump

Does this shed some light on America's relationship with Israel during Obama's presidency?

PJ Media  "I’ve previously written about how the Democratic Party has embraced anti-Semitism and defended rabid anti-Semites in their party. But as anti-Semitism becomes increasingly mainstream in the Democratic Party, rather than addressing the problem, Democrats are deflecting, trying to paint anti-Semitism as a Trump problem. Rep. Eric Swalwell recently alleged in an op-ed in the Jewish magazine Forward that Donald Trump is “embracing anti-Semitism.” Because Trump, who has a daughter who’s a converted Jew and Jewish grandchildren, is obviously an anti-Semite, or something.
"In the wake of the Hanukkah celebration stabbing in Monsey, New York, rather than blame the attacker, Democrats chose to blame Trump — who has done more for Israel and the Jewish people in three years than his predecessor did in two terms.
"The left is deliberately trying to whitewash Obama’s record of anti-Semitism, and the welcoming of anti-Semites into their party. When Barack Obama entered the national stage and rose to become the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2008, defending him at all costs mattered more than exposing his hateful roots and record." . . .

Most poisonous Obama relationship: Jeremiah Wright or Al Sharpton?  2014:
"Al Sharpton is now an advisor to and go-to guy on race relations for Obama, including on Ferguson.
"And you didn’t think it could get any worse than Obama having Jeremiah Wright as a spiritual advisor for much of his adult life, until the political heat got too hot." . . . 


Longtime Democrat Regrets Campaigning For Obama As Farrakhan Pic Surfaces  "A 13 year-old photo of Barrack Hussein Obama smiling with Louis Farrakhan has surfaced. Farrakhan is a known anti-semite, black supremacist and anti-gay enthusiast.

"The photo was taken in 2005. It was soon realized that the photo would reduce Barrack’s chances of getting the nomination. And now a life-long Democrat is is openly regretting campaigning for Obama after learning about the picture." . . .
[Alan] "Dershowitz said if he had known about the Obama/Farrakhan photo, he would not have campaigned for Obama. In an interview with FOX News, Dershowitz slams Farrakhan as a “virtulent anti-Semite and anti-American.” He claims Farrakhan is a “horrible, horrible human being” and is quoted as saying in regards to Obama:
“If I had known that the President had posed willingly with Louis Farrakhan when he was a Senator, I would not habe campaigned for Barack Obama.”“We should have nobody in public office associating with a bigot like Farrakhan.”
