Harris Proposes Forgivable Loans to Black Male Entrepreneurs

This lady is a real piece of work! 

"Is this Harris doing damage control after Obama scolded black men for not supporting her?"


"Uh oh! 21 day panic! Time to promise voters everything in the world!

"VP Kamala Harris unveiled the “Opportunity Agenda,” which proposes one million forgivable loans up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs.

"The agenda includes the following (emphasis mine):

(1) Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
(2) Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.
(3) Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected.
(4) Launching a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black Men that addresses sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other health challenges that disproportionately impact them.
(5) Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.

"Man, Harris has come a long way:

As San Francisco district attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris oversaw over 1,900 convictions for cannabis violations, the San Jose Mercury News reported in 2019. Still, only a small number of those people ended up in prison.

"Mother Jones destroyed Harris in 2019 in the article “Kamala Was a Cop. Black People Knew It First.”

"Camille Squires pointed out why black people don’t trust Harris. It all stems from her time as San Francisco district attorney. It also goes beyond marijuana:"  . . .

This will work on those not understanding economics. TD

Vernon Jones : BREAKING NEWS: sent out by White liberals to “Blackman-splain” to get Black men to vote for . Wait, his mother and Kamala’s mother are both “WHITE.” Obama doesn’t even have Black neighbors, and 99% of his handlers are White. I don’t have anything in common with Kamala. No Thanks BO, Blacks had enough of you and .

Sequel! Pandemonium at CBS News After Journalist Pushes Back on Anti-Israel Author Ta-Nehisi Coates

 Legal Insurrection  

“ 'I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards, the acclaim, took the cover off the book, publishing house goes away, the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist,” Dokoupil said."


. . ."But back to the Monday call, one brave member of the news team, Jan Crawford, spoke up in defense of Dokoupil, correctly pointing out that asking tough questions and challenging the premises of people in positions of influence and/or power is what reporters are supposed to do:

“I don’t even understand how Tony’s interview failed to meet our editorial standards… I thought our commitment was to truth. When someone comes on our air with a one-sided account of very complex situation—which Coates himself acknowledges that he has—it’s my understanding that as a journalist we are obligated to challenge that worldview, so that our viewers can have access to the truth and can have a more balanced account…”

“… And that is what Tony did. He challenged Coates’ one-sided worldview, Coates got to respond. It was civil… I don’t see how we can say that it failed to meet our editorial standards…. Tony prevented a one-sided account from being broadcast on our network about a deeply complex situation that completely was devoid of history or fact. As journalists, that’s what we have an obligation to do.”

"But the powers that be at CBS News would not be swayed. In response to the uproar, they invited a DEI expert, Dr. Donald Grant, to come in and soothe ruffled feathers. But that idea soon got nixed after social media sleuths discovered some rather eye-opening posts from Grant:

Originally, CBS News had invited a self-described “mental health expert, DEI strategist, and trauma trainer” named Dr. Donald Grant to moderate a conversation on the issue in an all-staff meeting on Tuesday. That plan was scrapped after old social media posts from Dr. Grant surfaced—including one where he referred to South Carolina senator Tim Scott as “Uncle Tim” (a reference to “Uncle Tom”) and another of him describing a possible second Trump term as “MAGAcide” and the “death of a nation.” Seems like just the guy you should call when you want to smooth things over. (A source close to the drama told The Free Press that the network was “humiliated by his Instagram.”) . . .

DEI Trainer Gets Oregon Employee Placed On Leave For Hiring 'Candidates Most Qualified' - Not Minority Status

Justine Brooke Murray  

 . . ."Who would’ve thought in 2024 you'd be punished for discrimination for refusing to discriminate against applicants?" . ..

"The cult of intersectionality is claiming more of its victims in the workplace.

"Oregon recently placed their deputy state forester, Mike Shaw on leave after their purple-haired DEI trainer filed a complaint that he sought “candidates most qualified for the job,” rather than race and gender, reports the Daily Mail.

"Who would’ve thought in 2024 you'd be punished for discrimination for refusing to discriminate against applicants?

"But Megan Donecker, the forestry department’s former Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chief says hiring should be done through an “intersectional lens,” which means their process should be a victimhood contest determining whose ancestors were more oppressed.

"Donecker also whined that six queer staffers didn't “feel safe or comfortable” at work because they could not have a “conversation around pronouns.” 

"In other words, discrimination also means refusing to comply with a re- write of truth.

"The department didn’t seem to have time for her ideology, which is apparently why they’re in hot water. 

"The DEI radical, a white woman who describes herself as an “accomplice to marginalized communities,” wrote in her complaint that she was “cut” from leadership meetings for her efforts to re-educate them. 

"She lambasted Shaw for comparing identity-based hiring to a “speeding car on an icy road.”

“ 'We don't go 60 (mph) out of the gate, or we're gonna crash the car,” Shaw allegedly told Donecker during a one-on-one meeting.

"Feeling defeated, Donecker has since quit her job. She is now working with Oregon's children, as the "Equity Trainer" and "Education Coordinator" for the state's department of Early Learning and Care." . . .


Trump's biggest asset is his first term

 Don Surber; Substack

 . . ."I am not slut-shaming the Atlantic for being open and honest about who it carries water for. I am mocking its clumsy dunderheadedness in trying to make its partisanship sound historic. Every one of these three endorsements was a battlecry against Trump which could have been penned by the staff at National Review." . . . 

. . ."In none of these endorsements were any facts or evidence of abuse of power by Mister Trump. Indeed, the magazine failed to decry Obama using the FBI to spy on The Donald in 2016. Morality on a sliding scale is simply evil.

"While the words are different in each one, the editorials are the same as they argue that Trump is this big Bogey Man who will destroy the country.

"Such fearmongering worked the first time because Trump had no track record. Fortunately, Hillary had a track record and people chose him hoping that he was less of a threat to the country.

"Such fearmongering worked the second time under an overblown pandemic panic, as it enabled Democrats to flood the ballot boxes with mailed in ballots — and even then it was too close to call for 10 days.

"But now, Americans know what Trump can do because of what he has done. Americans also know that a Harris presidency will be a pale continuation of the rat-infested presidency of Biden.

"Other publications are hopping aboard the Endorse Harris For Virtue Signals game. Axios reported, “Scientific American makes second-ever endorsement, backs Kamala Harris.”

"What was the first? You guessed it: Biden four years ago.

"While Kamala, the generic Democrat nominee, racks up all these endorsements from the Keyborne Warriors, men with real talent and accomplishment are lining up behind one of their own: Donald Trump. At the moment, the leader of the pack is Elon Musk." . . .

Conservative economics gives policymakers the tools to understand capitalism and harness its power for the benefit of American workers, their families and communities, and the national interest.

 

Rich Terrell


. . ."Thus, in conservative economics, free markets are a means to an end, not an end unto themselves. They are necessary but not sufficient to the economy’s proper ends—not only rising consumption, but also expanding the nation’s productive capacity, preserving its institutions, and supporting its families. Capitalism has an unparalleled ability to generate widespread prosperity. But it succeeds only when competing firms pursue profit by investing in the productive use and fair compensation of labor, and when people are well-equipped to engage in the market as entrepreneurs and workers and in their communities as citizens. Public policy plays an indispensable role in maintaining those conditions.

"At American Compass, we work to restore this conservative economic tradition, atop which our nation rose from colonial backwater to continent-spanning industrial colossus. We believe that conservative economics demands a focus on:

Productive Markets: Policymakers must constrain destructive and speculative profit-seeking and channel both talent and investment toward productive pursuits that advance the nation’s liberty and prosperity. Read More

Supportive Communities: Policymakers must foster the institutions that allow the market to deliver on its promise for workers, their families, and the nation. Read More

Responsive Politics: Policymakers must focus on the outcomes that people define as most important through democratic politics, rather than merely accepting those deemed most efficient by market logic. Read More

“It’d be a GIFT by Jewish State to Humanity if Israelis Destroyed Iran’s Nuclear Facilities”

We all know the West would breathe easier and rejoice silently while condemning Israel as our ignorant scarf people would riot in the streets. TD

Anna Magdalena W.      “The idea of allowing a genocidal theocratic unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people, to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow.

And if Israel were to stop that genocidal theocratic unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity”

Iranian activist DESTROYS Ta-Nehisi Coates and Trevor Noah over their support for violent jihad

BareNakedIslam  


"The other day, we told you how Ta-Nehisi Coates lost his mind because a journalist at CBS asked him some tough questions. It was deserved, because Coates went on the Trevor Noah podcast and said he'd likely participate in the rape and mass murder of women and children because of 'oppression.'

"It's despicable, and now here's an Iranian activist who absolutely WRECKED Coates and Noah over their support of jihad.

Remember when CBS News ran an interview with a pro-Hamas propagandist on the anniversary of October 7 and then apologized for not being pro-Hamas enough?

ALERT! Goal Line Powder; The truth revealed!

Snopes.com

Mysterious white powdery substance on a football field is revealed to be the goal line.


"The above-quoted joke reappears every fall, each time aimed at football teams regarded as underperforming (e.g., it was told of the Dallas Cowboys on the 1 November 2001 edition of Rush Limbaugh's radio show).

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2005]

Green Bay, WI Monday, October 31, 2005 - Anthrax Scare At Lambeau Field

Green Bay Packer football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.

Coach Mike Sherman immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate.

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line.

Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.

"Professional and college teams are made the jape's subject, as team names are swapped in and out. We marvel not at the parade of teams this groaner has been attributed to, but at the "Is this true?" queries it has caused to land in our inbox over the years.

"The joke does provoke an entertaining mental image of muscle-bound football players suspiciously eyeing a line of unfamiliar white powder and concluding it must be anthrax. While captivating, this image doesn't work quite so well in the real world, where teams switch ends of the gridiron twice during a game — even if a squad were so unskilled that they never scored a touchdown, they'd still routinely see both goal lines as their opposition took the ball across them." . . .

Topsy Turvy in the Middle East: The Case for Total Victory

 "Such were the mutilations that not a single corpse of a girl or a woman was in a state fit to be shown to her family before burial." 

The murder of 1,200 Israeli men, women and children, rape, torture and mutilation -- both before murder and post-mortem -- these crimes were committed by approximately 3,000 Arabs from Gaza, most of whom – but not all -- were Hamas terrorists, on October 7, 2023. Such were the mutilations that not a single corpse of a girl or a woman was in a state fit to be shown to her family before burial.

"One year ago, in the form of armed Hamas terrorists, death arrived on the wings of the morning at the Supernova music festival in southern Israel. Three hundred and sixty-four revellers were murdered there, out of the 1,200 murdered altogether that terrible October 7.

"At the London memorial gathering on October 6, 2024, all those faces, overwhelmingly of young people, were projected onto a big screen. Standing in a cold English drizzle, it took more than an hour to view them all, in the knowledge that the fate of those smiling faces was one of utter depravity. Rape, torture and mutilation -- both before murder and post-mortem -- these crimes were committed by approximately 3,000 Arabs from Gaza, most of whom – but not all -- were Hamas terrorists.

"More than 240 people in Israel – including children and a baby – were abducted to tunnels in Gaza, where those who are not dead remain. Many of the atrocities were recorded on smartphones, car dash-cams and terrorists' body cameras. Such were the mutilations that not a single corpse of a girl or a woman was in a state fit to be shown to her family before burial.

Iranians teach "Death to Israel" to Americans

"There is a memorable message texted back to mom and dad in Gaza from one young man using a murdered Israeli woman's smartphone, boasting of the number of Jews that he had just murdered. October 7 was a pogrom --- an act of bloodlust impelled by genocidal intent -- and the worst killing of Jews on any day since the Holocaust. With a grim resonance to when Jews were last lambs to the slaughter, October 7 was also the eightieth anniversary of the Auschwitz Sonderkommando revolt. Jewish slaves tasked with pulling corpses from the gas chambers and burning them in the crematoria in Auschwitz-Birkenau attempted, with explosives smuggled to them by women prisoners, to blow them up.

"The legendary professionalism of Israel's intelligence services suffered its worst failure since the misreading of Egypt in 1973 at the start of the Yom Kippur War." . . .

Agitator behind ‘Death to America’ chants in Chicago contributes to Iran state TV, Hezbollah-linked channel 

 "[Iranian] The Free Press first broke the story about Rizvi’s chants that occurred during a breakout session of an event in which 300 activists countrywide gathered to plan protests to disrupt the Democratic National Convention in August. The crowd reportedly burst into applause hours later when another activist shared the news that the Islamic Republic of Iran had attacked Israel, launching more than 300 bomb-bearing Shahed drones and ballistic missiles into its airspace."

Gays in that room should be aware that Rizvi could have been one of those who threw gays off a tall roof in Iran. TD 

Harris Agrees to Interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier

 You have a low bar to clear, Bret. TD

https://www.americanthinker.com/cartoons/

National Review "Fox News announced on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to be interviewed by the network’s chief political anchor, Bret Baier.
"The interview will air Wednesday evening in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The announcement comes as Harris visits Erie on Monday, a hotly contested county that could decide the all-important battleground state’s fate come November.
"The event marks the first time the current Democratic frontrunner has ever participated in a sit-down interview with the network.
" 'Special Report with Bret Baier…is home to the largest and most politically diverse audience in cable news, averaging 2.3 million viewers…with more Democrats and Independents tuning in to Baier than any show in its timeslot,” the network announced in a statement.
"Harris has come under fire for not engaging with adversarial media outlets throughout her campaign, opting instead for a softer lineup, including recent appearances on the Call Her Daddy podcast and The View, in addition to sitting down with Oprah Winfrey, Howard Stern, and Stephen Colbert. This month alone, Harris’ vice-presidential pick Tim Walz has appeared on Fox News Sunday twice.
"The interview will follow a Fox News town hall with Donald Trump featuring an all-female audience as the former president looks to boost his appeal with his weakest demographic. Harris, meanwhile, hopes to boost her standing with black men down the stretch, highlighted by former president Barack Obama’s trip to Pennsylvania last week.
"The vice president went on the offensive Sunday after Trump refused a 60 Minutes interview asking, “Why does his staff want him to hide away?… Are they afraid that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America? Is that what’s going on?” . . .

. . ."In August Kamala Harris refused to debate President Trump on FOX News. But now, with her numbers sagging, Kamala is willing to sit with Trump-hating RINO Bret Baier for an interview that is assuredly going to be a free ride for the Democratic nominee.

Bret Baier has quite the record trashing President Trump.

'"In 2023, Baier attacked President Trump for his classified documents scandal but defended dirty Mike Pence after he lied about not holding classified documents at his home.

'In January 2022, Bret Baier defended serial liar and hoaxer Cassidy Hutchinson who lied about Trump attacking a Secret Service agent on January 6.

'So on Monday when Bret Baier announced his interview with Kamala Harris, President Trump was the first to chime in!
