How Trump — not Biden — has helped make black lives better

NY Post via Ty Frazier

When it comes to the black community, Trump hasn't always said the right thing, but his policies are better
 than Biden's, as student activist and Trump supporter Kearyn Bolin (here at the White House in 2019) likely understands.

. . . "Back home in the US, African Americans were experiencing the best economy we have ever seen: Unemployment for our racial group was the lowest in recorded history, black wages were rapidly increasing for the first time in decades, and people who’d been out of work long-term were being hired and suddenly able to take their families on vacations for the first time in years.
"The Trump policies made it possible. Tax cuts and rocketing GDP growth meant companies were feeling financially stable for the first time in a decade and public confidence in our economy had never been higher. Trump’s re-election was on cruise control. Even Democrats were willing to admit that the chances of Trump losing were slim.
"No one could have predicted what would happen next.
"Since COVID-19, almost every economic benefit of the Trump presidency has evaporated. Unemployment has surged again — reaching numbers closer to the end of the Great Depression — and has impacted, as it has in every US downturn, African Americans the most. All this, coupled with the issues of race which still plague our country and the media’s incessant narratives of Trump “being racist.” In some cases, these wounds have been self-inflicted, as with Trump’s recent retweeting of a white-supremacy video that used racist language, which the president later claimed he hadn’t heard.
"The black vote will be the swing vote this year. And right now, it’s looking like it’s Joe Biden’s for the taking. " . . .

Catholic Churches Under Attack

Conservative Firing Line  "Eleven American Catholic Churches have been desecrated in the last few weeks, and one ancient Catholic Cathedral in Nantes, France was the victim of arson.

Breaking: There is a massive fire at the historic Nantes Cathedral in France. pic.twitter.com/QTkPsD0LSr

— PM Breaking News (@PMBreakingNews) July 18, 2020

"Nantes, France: Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul (Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul)
"Begun in 1434, the Roman Catholic structure was built over hundreds of years – and finished in 1891. Fortunately, it wasn’t as badly damaged as Notre Dame. But its grand organ, stained glass windows and other items were destroyed. A 39 year old Rwandan migrant was detained over the fire, but French officials have cautioned against blaming him for the arson. They are not yet certain he is the actual suspect." . . .

American Catholic churches
"In the United States, at least 11 Catholic churches have been vandalized, burned, or otherwise desecrated. This last week, St Joseph’s church in New Haven, Connecticut was vandalized with “satanic and anarchist symbols” written in pink paint.
"St Joseph’s wrote on Facebook July 17 (excerpt),

“Between the hours of 9 PM last night and 6 AM this morning, a person or group of persons had painted anarchist and satanic symbols on the doors of St. Joseph Church in New Haven. This follows an apparent trend of desecrating Catholic spaces throughout the nation, as evidenced by incidents in Chattanooga, Queens, Boston, Sacramento, and Ocala. The underlying motive of these sacrilegious attacks is clear: to intimidate and instill fear in the hearts of those who worship Christ. However, our cherished Catholic faith has survived for 2,000 years in the faces of many different oppressors, and it is not about to yield now. Therefore, we remain unafraid and resolute in our faith, and we will pray for a conversion of the hearts of those who wish to terrorize us.”

"John Nolte at Breitbart reported a timeline of previous anti-Catholic actions in the U.S.:" . . .

2014: NOW calls Little Sisters of the Poor “dirty” – Megyn Kelly has nun of it

"The National Organization of Women (NOW) has compiled a list of what they’re calling the “Dirty 100” — organizations who have filed suit against the HHS Contraception Mandate. One of the “Dirty 100” organizations that NOW claims is simply “using religion” to discriminate against women, is, in fact, a group of Catholic religious sisters called the Little Sisters of the Poor.

"The Little Sisters of the Poor take vows to tend to the needs of the elderly poor. They are opposed to providing contraception to their employees as contraception violates the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Little Sisters of the Poor are not considered to be a “religious employer” and exempt from the mandate as they employ and care for people of all faith backgrounds." . . .

Pat Sajak Takes To Twitter, responding to Hillary Clinton

Dino Porrazzo (May 2020)  "Remember this? This is awesome- Enjoy this blast from the past!
"Hillary Clinton tells her supporters that she’s just like them. She’s just a regular person who relates to the struggles of everyday Americans. And they believe it. What morons they are.
"Hillary tried to prove her point in a photo op at a New York subway station. Yes, she figured if she was seen taking a ride on the subway that that would PROVE she’s like the ordinary American, lol. What a joke she is.
"Anyways, her lame attempt was a complete failure. She didn’t even know how to use her Metro Card. It was an extremely awkward moment, to say the least. Actually, every moment with her is awkward.
"Pat Sajak, who is a CONSERVATIVE and the host of the show “Wheel Of Fortune” (which I admit I like and am actually pretty damn good at) didn’t waste any time to slam her for trying to look like an ordinary, average Joe!
"Sajak took to Twitter where he wrote- “Please, professional politicians, stop trying to prove you’re ‘regular people.’ If you have to prove it, you’re not.”

"Ordinary Americans don’t own $2000 purses or $20,000 pantsuits for that matter lol.

"Average Americans don’t get their hair done at the luxury department store, Bergdorf Goodman, where a cut and blow dry goes for $600.
"Anyways*, Twitter exploded in agreement with what Sajak said:" . . .  More...

CNN Pushes Joe Biden As A ‘Man Of Faith’ Who Can Win Over Evangelical Voters

And the riots and burning in the streets are really peaceful demonstrators

The Gateway Pundit  "This is just so typical.

"The liberal media mocks and disrespects people of faith in America all the time. But now that we have an election coming up, CNN rushes in to prop up Joe Biden as some sort of deeply religious man, suggesting he can appeal to evangelicals.
"From CNN:
"Joe Biden is a man of faith. That could help him win over some White evangelicals.

Joe Biden sat with his wife, Jill, in the first pew of an AME church here the Sunday after Valentine’s Day, ahead of the state’s primary. The former vice president clapped on beat, rose on cue and laughed when the moment called for laughter. The message that Sunday: “Don’t stop singing.”When Biden took the podium to speak, following a particularly charismatic preacher, he joked that it’d be a hard act to follow. “As we say in my church,” he said, showing the sign of the cross, “Bless me father, I need some help.'”It’s a natural turn of phrase for the practicing Roman Catholic who has been waging a “battle for the soul of the nation” since he launched his 2020 presidential campaign.While the campaign’s faith outreach during the primaries was narrowly focused on minority communities, Biden’s team believes the former vice president could make inroads with the White Christian community, including Catholics and White evangelicals, a critical voting bloc that helped propel President Donald Trump to the White House.

"Would this be the same Joe Biden who has said he would force nuns to pay for birth control?" The above then links us to the following:

Biden plans to end contraception exemption for Little Sisters  "Former vice president Joe Biden pledged on Wednesday to reinstate Obama-era policies that would require the Little Sisters of the Poor to ensure access to birth control and abortifacients for employees in violation of their religious beliefs. 

"Biden, who is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, made the promise July 8, following the Supreme Court decision in favor of the Little Sisters of the Poor in the case Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, which upheld an exemption for the sisters from the “contraception mandate” which obliges employers to provide for contraceptive coverage for employees through their health care plans.

“ 'If I am elected I will restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the [Supreme Court’s 2014] Hobby Lobby ruling: providing an exemption for houses of worship and an accommodation for nonprofit organizations with religious missions,” said Biden in a statement released by his campaign. " . . .   Via Catholic News Agency

Comment on the above posted in American Lookout:

If Christ Himself walked into the CNN building they'd try to have Him arrested--that's what CNN knows about "faith." CNN: completely worthless anti-American propaganda and lie machine, paid for by the (D) party. The company is faithless with its audiences.

The left is laying the groundwork to challenge Trump’s election

Krugman is monomaniacal, but he’s not stupid. He’s probably aware that each of his tweets is ridiculous. That doesn’t matter. All that matters is that, in concert with Hillary and others in the Democrat echo chamber, he is working to build the foundation of a narrative holding that any Trump victory is illegitimate.

Andrea Widburg  "The polls currently show Biden in the lead, but there are reasons to suspect their accuracy. For example, in 2016, at the same time during the election cycle the polls also showed Hillary in the lead. Another problem is that many of the polls are national, which is irrelevant. We don’t have a national vote; we have fifty state votes, plus D.C. Whether Biden wins by one vote or three million votes in California, he still gets the same number of electoral college votes.

"But the single most significant indicator that the polls are untrustworthy is the fact that the Democrats are starting to lay the groundwork for rejecting Trump’s possible (or probable?) victory. If you thought the last three and a half years of “resistance” were terrible, as Al Jolson would say, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

"The most prominent person to start getting ducks in a row for an attack against Trump’s victory is Hillary Clinton. Hillary, who has spent the last three-and-a-half years being the mother of all sore losers, has announced that she thinks Trump, when he inevitably loses, will refuse to leave the White House: . . .

. . . "Like a dog responding to his master’s whistle, Paul Krugman, who once was a respected economist before he became a rabid Democrat partisan, went on an extended and feverish Twitter rant about Trump’s inevitable coming loss. The corollary for Krugman is that the only way Trump can win is “to steal the election.” It’s worth examining each tweet in his manic thread. First, there’s the premise:" . . .

. . . "Likewise, in Red states, the Democrats’ graveyard vote will turn out in big numbers. Conservatives cannot afford to be complacent but must, instead, have an overwhelming turnout.

"You need to vote as if your life depends on it -- because it probably does."

The Fragility of the Woke; History’s ingredients of riot and revolution

The televised stereotype of the Antifa activist is a physically unimpressive but violent-talking revolutionary. He seems to strut in laid-back, blue-city Minneapolis but wisely avoids the suburbs and small towns of the nation’s red states. He spits at police when standing beside fellow agitators but would never do that when alone confronting an autoworker or welder. VDH

Victor Davis Hanson

"A TikTok video that recently went viral on social media showed a recent Harvard graduate threatening to stab anyone who said “all lives matter.” In her melodrama, she tried to sound intimidating with her histrionics.

"She won a huge audience, as she intended. But her video also came to the attention of the company that was going to give her an internship later this summer, Deloitte, which decided it didn’t want to add an intern who threatened to kill strangers who said something she didn’t like." . . .

"This wouldn’t have been much of a story. But then the narcissistic Harvard alum posted a very different video — one that showed her weeping in a near-fetal position.

"She fought back tears while complaining about how unfair the world had been to her. Her initial TikTok post had earned cruel pushback from the social-media jungle she had courted. Deloitte, she sobbed, was mean and hurtful. And she wanted the world to share her pain.

"The Harvard grad instantly became an unwitting poster girl for the current protest movement and the violence that has accompanied it. What turns off millions of Americans about the statue toppling, the looting, the threats, and the screaming in the face of police is the schizophrenic behavior of so many of the would-be revolutionaries.

"When police march against the Antifa crowd and their appendages in order to clear the streets, they often scream like preteens, objecting to mean officers who dare to cross them.

"When arrested, the trash talkers are usually terrified of being jailed or of having an arrest on their records.

"Federal authorities are currently searching thousands of videos to ferret out looters, arsonists, and assailants. Perpetrators who are caught are shocked that the evidence that they once posted online in triumphant braggadocio is now being used to charge them with felonies.

The woke but godless, the arrogant but ignorant, the violent but physically unimpressive, the degreed but poorly educated, the broke but acquisitive, the ambitious but stalled — these are history’s ingredients of riot and revolution.

A Nightmare Campaign of Outright Idiocy

No society can tolerate this for long. The arsonists will not burn down society; the society will awaken and banish the arsonists.

Conrad Black  "As we get into high summer, there must be a very large number of Americans now actively considering whether the country is going mad.
"The leading newspaper in the nation’s capital has accused the president of plumbing “new depths of depravity” in a perfectly unexceptionable and soaringly eloquent speech at Mount Rushmore last Friday. Praising the American revolutionary ideal that “all men are created equal” and its reaffirmation by Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War that brought about the abolition of slavery somehow made Donald Trump “dark” and “divisive.” The president deplored academic and national media self-hate and espoused the highest objectives identified and pursued by every admired American leader from Washington and Franklin to Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan.
"As the violent crime rate skyrocketed in New York City 10 days ago, the City Council voted to reduce the police budget by $1 billion. Meanwhile, Chicago celebrated the July 4 weekend with 87 people injured and 17 killed by gunfire, including two children, but the city’s mayor rebuked the police chief when he suggested there is room for improvement in city governance.
"NeverTrumpers like Mitt Romney, who walked in the Black Lives Matter parade last month, express solidarity with the group even when it affirms that it does not accept that all lives matter and its New York leader, Hawk Newsome, announced on national television, “if this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right?”
"The Democratic presidential nominee is a waxwork dummy hiding in his basement. Joe Biden can scarcely utter a correct English sentence and has the haggard countenance of a fatigued nonagenarian. In his few television and internet appearances, the former vice president is ambiguous about defunding the police and continues to regard BLM as a valuable political ally fighting racial inequality, even though in the last month it has revealed itself proudly as a white-hating Marxist urban terrorist organization." . . .

Kicking out the Witch Doctors!

"Tanzania President John Magufuli, who holds a doctorate in chemistry, kicks the World Health Organization out of his country."

Faulty test kits?  

"In just a month, Tanzania went from having only 20 coronavirus cases recorded to 480 cases, an alarming increase which puts the country with the highest number of cases in East Africa. However, the country’s president John Magufuli is convinced the number may be exaggerated due to technical hiccups with the imported testing kits.
"Magufuli, who holds a doctorate in chemistry, said the testers had randomly obtained several non-human samples on animals and fruits which included a sheep, a goat and a pawpaw and the results came out positive. The samples were given human names and ages and were submitted to the country’s National Referral Laboratory to test for coronavirus without the lab technicians knowing the true identity of the samples." . . .

The 'Racist' Redskins Logo That Leftists Got Removed Actually Was Created by a Native American

The Washington football team shed its identity to please a loud few, and a tribe in Montana has lost a  contribution to modern culture.

The Federalist Papers  "The NFL team in Washington, D.C., previously known as the Redskins, will change its mascot to a more appropriate one, in step with the politically correct movement to banish apparent racism.
"The team also is banishing Native Americans, and their achievements, from public consciousness.
"So says Lance Wetzel, the son of the man who designed the team’s iconic Indian head logo. Lance recently said he is saddened to see the team retire his father’s accomplishment.

Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a member of the Blackfeet tribe of Montana, designed the logo in 1971.
"Lance told WUSA-TV that the logo has always given his family and his people a sense of pride.
“ 'Everyone was pretty upset [about the change],” Lance told the outlet.
“ 'Everyone understood the name change; we were all on board with that,” he said. “Once they weren’t going to use the logo, it was hard. It takes away from the Native Americans. When I see that logo, I take pride in it. You look at the depiction of the Redskins’ logo and it’s of a true Native American.”
“ 'I always felt it was representing my people. That’s not gone.”
"Lance, like most Native Americans, said he was never offended by the logo, which is a depiction of former Blackfeet Chief John “Two Guns” White Calf, the same man whose likeness appears on the Buffalo Nickel.
"Now that White Calf has been canceled, Lance told WUSA it will make Native Americans less visible." . . .

'It takes away from the Native Americans': Son of Redskins logo designer denounces rebranding

Blackie Wetzel, a member of the National Congress of American Indians, was raised on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, according to WUSA9. The Redskins logo is a depiction of John "Two Guns" White Calf, a Blackfeet chief.

The media fails the American people again and again

The media are openly rooting for a surge in coronavirus cases, cheering for violence and racial division in our streets, praying for a slow economic recovery, and demanding that children stay home from school, because they are hoping it will hurt Trump at the polls. The veils have come off for the mainstream media. On November 3, the veils will also come off for the American voters. David Keltz

Recognize anybody in this 'toon?

The Veil Has Dropped from the Mainstream Media  "The last few months have represented a microcosm of just how destructive the mainstream media and their accomplices in the Democratic Party are. Their masks may cover their faces when they are seen in public, but their veils have been fully ripped off.  Make no mistake, the media are just as conniving, cynical, and nefarious as ever, but now they do not even pretend to care about journalistic standards of objectivity, integrity, professionalism, or the well-being of this country.  They have been playing the American people for suckers and underestimating our intelligence for years.  Now they truly believe we are blithering idiots, and just as naive as they always thought we were." . . .

Media bias and bullying go well beyond [Bari] Weiss  . . . "A supposed reporter asked Trump why white police were still killing blacks. Why didn’t she ever ask Obama that question?

"Trump should ask all the reporters why most journalists and other Democrats continually support Planned Parenthood, which was founded by a racist, which slaughters hundreds of thousands of black and brown babies each year at a much higher percentage than their percent of the population.
"Basically, almost all supposed journalists are essentially campaign workers for whichever Democrat is running. The facts haven't mattered to most supposed fact checkers for a long time. They are above all, campaign workers."

Kayleigh McEnany is so effective that the MSM is now lying by deceptively editing her comments  Watch the video It was not Kayleigh who called the rioters "a merry caravan".

Woke WOLVES and the COWARDLY Leaders of Liberal America    . . ."As [Bari] Weiss detailed in a widely read public resignation letter on Tuesday, she left her job after constant bullying by more left-wing colleagues (the vast majority) that included underhanded gossip, anti-Semitic innuendo and public attacks against her that would never have been tolerated had she been the one meting them out.
"She also described an atmosphere of pervasive ideological intimidation and conformity that finally made commissioning diverse viewpoints and writing and thinking freely — essential to opinion journalism — all but impossible.
"So Weiss left. But again, it wasn’t ultimately about her. The mob’s real targets are twofold.

First, the mob yearns to scare into submission everyone in a position of authority at the Times and any other liberal institution in America who might think it wise to hire someone like Bari Weiss — someone who draws outside the ideological lines and brings a fresh perspective.
"You can see how this works in the cowardice manifested by Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger. As Weiss noted in her letter, Sulzberger praised her in private, even as he simultaneously failed to defend her in public from the threats and slanders of her own colleagues, both in internal communications and on Twitter. Such conduct marks the journalistic scion forevermore as less a man than a mouse." .  .  . Full article here.
