Trump Says Lightfoot is Making a “Big Mistake” in Refusing Help…Why Have These Democrat Mayors Refused Help?

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump doubled down on his criticism of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday – berating the Democratic mayor for the spike in violent crime in her city and threatening to send in more federal agents to combat the spoke in violence.

Speaking during a briefing on the coronavirus pandemic, Trump called Chicago a “disaster” and said Lightfoot was making “a big mistake” by not asking the White House for help in combatting crime in the United States’ third most-populous city.

“Chicago is a disaster, the mayor is saying don’t come in,” Trump said. “She’s making a big mistake.”

He added: “Chicago should be calling us and so should Philadelphia and Detroit and many others.”

When questioned about a 2016 statement he made blaming former President Barack Obama for the violence in Chicago, Trump argued that his predecessor failed to quell the issue in the city during his time in office.

“He did a poor job,” Trump said.

The president’s comments come just hours after he announced he was deploying 100 federal agents to Chicago.

The “surge” of agents announced on Wednesday to Chicago and other American cities is part of Operation Legend – named after 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro, who was fatally shot while sleeping in a Kansas City apartment late last month – and comes as federal law enforcement officers have already descended on Portland, Ore. and Kansas City, Mo.

Chicago, which is currently experiencing a spat of deadly gun violence, has been a particular target of Trump’s criticism. A shooting at a funeral home earlier this week left 14 people injured, and followed a weekend that saw 10 people killed and 60 people injured due to gun violence.

While sending federal agents to aid local law enforcement is not unprecedented – Attorney General Bill Barr announced a similar surge effort in December for seven cities that had seen spiking violence – the type of federal agent being sent, and some of their tactics, have raised concerns among state and local lawmakers.

Usually, the Justice Department sends agents under its own umbrella, like agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or the Drug Enforcement Administration. But this surge effort will include Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers, who generally conduct drug trafficking and child exploitation investigations.

A number of lawmakers from New York to Portland have spoken out against the Trump administration sending the agents to their cities, especially following reports that unidentified federal agents detained protesters in Portland and took them away in unmarked vehicles. Portland has been hit with near-daily demonstrations against police brutality and systemic racism since the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.

Local authorities also have complained the surges have only exacerbated tensions, and criminal justice experts say the efforts defy explanation because of the unprecedented moment America is living through — with a pandemic, historic unemployment and a mass reckoning over racism and how people of color are treated by police.

Chicago’s Lightfoot has been particularly critical of Trump’s use of federal agents in the country’s metropolitan areas.

“We welcome partnership, not dictatorship, and will never tolerate the kind of unconstitutional deployment and state-sanctioned lawlessness we saw in Portland,” Lightfoot said in a statement on Wednesday.

So, why is Mayor Lori Lightfoot defending those who are tearing apart the city which she is supposed to be looking out for?Perhap because she is “tight” with the “puppet master” who is financing a lot of the unrest which we are witnessing in American cities from coast to coast.

On June 10th, the Chicago Tribune reported that

Chicagoans who did not get financial help from the federal government during the coronavirus pandemic can apply for $1,000 grants from the city, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Wednesday.

Officials will fund 300,000 grants with $1 million from the Open Society Foundation, which was founded by billionaire and philanthropist George Soros, and $4 million from an anonymous donor through the foundation, according to the mayor’s office.

The Chicago Resiliency Fund will be administered by The Resurrection Project, and applications will open on June 22 and be available online.

Undocumented immigrants were not eligible for the $1,200 checks for adults and $500 per child, and mixed-status families were also excluded from the relief package designed to ease the sting of the economic crash caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler does not want federal troops in his city either, even though Antifa and BLM continue to riot and attack the police ever single night.

If Mayor Wheeler, a Democrat, was going to “deal with” the hooded thugs of Antifa, he would have done it by now.

So, why hasn’t he?

And then, there is Seattle’s Mayor Jenny Durkan. She also does not want troops coming into her city, even though Antifa and BLM are also rioting there ever night.

So, you’re asking, what links George Soros to Portland and Seattle?

On Thursday, April 27th, 2017, the following information was posted in an article found on gatewaypundit.com…

Violent domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is officially linked to Antifa through his group “Refuse Fascism”.

Ayers is infamous for the Weather Underground, a domestic terror organization he co-founded with other degenerates, and for bombing the Pentagon.

“Refuse Fascism“, a fascist organization that wishes to inhibit and deny the speech of conservatives, is partly funded by George Soros. It has organizers like Bill Ayers and is targeting youth across the country with the intention of indoctrinating and brainwashing individuals who nascent politically. We know Ayers was associated with Barrack Obama and is a big supporter of various socialists and communists as well as violent terrorists.

Today, it has come out that Ayers is partnering with Antifa in the spread of militant violence against pro-America demonstrators. Leftists have historically turned Ayers into a folklore figure who they cherish and respect despite his violent past.

That article in turn referenced another article found on breitbart.com on February 3rd of that year, which related the following information…

One of the far-left “anti-fascist” groups behind last week’s riot in Berkeley, Refuse Fascism, received $50,000 from a group backed by socialist billionaire George Soros, according to the Daily Caller.

The Alliance for Global Justice, which is funded by the George Soros-backed Tides Foundation, reportedly donated $50,000 to fund Refuse Fascism, which openly brags about using violence to shut down conservative and libertarian speech.

And, on RefuseFascism.org, we find…

Chicago: Refuse Fascism Protests Federal Crackdown on Portland! TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
July 22, 2020 by Refuse Fascism
Only hours after it was announced that Homeland Security was deploying 150 federal agents to Chicago to restore fascist “law and order,” and 3 days after the CPD viciously attacked protesters with an Indigenous and Black Solidarity rally protesting at the Christopher Columbus statue, Refuse Fascism called for an emergency “Stand with Portland – No Fascist Police State” protest. The protest was co-sponsored by Revolution Club, Freedom First International, and Friends Who March and our demands included: Stop Police Violence Against Protesters in Chicago, Portland, and Everywhere! Trump Gestapo in Portland must be met with mass protest in the streets! Justice for Miracle Boyd! No Fascist Police State! NO ICE training programs for vigilantes! (this refers to a new “ICE Academy” in Chicago to train anti-immigrant vigilantes. We chanted, “No Trump-No Feds-No KKK! NO Fascist USA! Trump Pence Out NOW!”

The protest started with over 100 people rallying at the Federal Building and grew to close to 200 in the course of the march and rally. The urgent need to drive out the Trump Pence regime came out loud and clear and got significant media coverage. People coming to protest were met by a heavy and intimidating police presence. Before the rally began, DHS agents with a dog went through the plaza and later on unmarked cars with DHS agents were spotted on the street.

Do you remember the line from the classic Song from the 60s,

“There’s something happening here,

What it is ain’t exactly clear.” ?

George Soros has financed “protestors” for years now, going as far as trying to infiltrate Republican Nominee Donald J. Trump’s Campaign Rallies before he 2016 Presidential Election.

His deep involvement in the Ferguson Riots, along with his funding of Back Lives Matter and Antifa Groups like Refuse Fascism reveals a pattern of behavior which makes him the likely money behind the “spontaneous” protests which erupted in cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles and across the street from the White House and are continuing today.

In my opinion, it is time to freeze the assets of George Soros and to deport him from our Sovereign Nation which he seeks to “radically change”…

…while we still have a Constitutional Republic left.

Democrat Deja Vu: Biden Promises “Shovel Ready Jobs”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump’s re-election campaign is taking aim at Democratic challenger Joe Biden over his touting of “shovel ready jobs” by resurfacing conservative criticism of the Obama administration’s famous stimulus plan.

The former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on Tuesday unveiled a 10-year,  $775 billion plan to create universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-old children, build new child care facilities, and expand access to a wider array of long-term care options for seniors.

Biden said the plan would put 3 million Americans to work in new care and education jobs – and predicts that if enacted, it would increase overall employment by about 5 million after taking into account the economic impact of increased labor force participation when unpaid caregivers are freed up to pursue paid careers.

During a speech in New Castle, Delaware, as he unveiled the proposal, Biden spotlighted his job as vice president helping to steer the 2009 stimulus implemented by President Obama.

“I’m the guy you may remember who managed the Recovery Act of $800-plus billion dollars. I always focused on shovel ready jobs, what we can do immediately to get the money out communities,” Biden said.

Emphasizing his new plan, Biden stressed that “that’s what care jobs are. They’re shovel ready. The workers are ready now. These jobs can be filled now. Allowing millions of people, primarily women, to get back to work, increasing the growth in the GDP and family income. That’s the right thing to do for our families and our most essential workers and it’s the smart thing to do for our economy.”

The Trump campaign took aim at Biden.

“Joe Biden just promised ‘shovel-ready’ jobs. Where have we heard this before?” tweeted Trump campaign rapid response director Andrew Clark. “Biden promised ‘shovel-ready’ jobs the last time he was in charge. Instead, he created (in his own words!) a ‘depression for millions and millions of Americans.'”

Clark’s tweet included a video of snippets of Biden from speeches and interviews during the 2012 presidential campaign – as he and Obama successfully won re-election – discussing an economy that was sluggishly recovering from the Great Recession.

Most economists have said the stimulus – officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – helped the economy rebound. And the more than 13,000 projects initiated by the stimulus and carried out through the Federal Highway Administration ended up improving thousands of miles of highways, roads and bridges.

But the stimulus also received plenty of criticism over efficiency – with Republicans pointing out that many of the infrastructure projects weren’t “shovel ready” as promised.

Biden campaign rapid response director Andrew Bates, responding to a second Clark tweet taking aim at Biden over the “shovel ready” comments, targeted the president’s handling of the economy.

“Trump’s record: driving American manufacturing into a recession and killing tens of millions of jobs. We took office during what was, before Trump’s recent handiwork, the worst downturn since the Great Depression – & replaced it with the longest streak of U.S. job growth ever,” Bates charged.

If I remember correctly, Obama’s job streak was padded with government and part-time jobs.

Here are some Economic Facts from FoxBusiness.com from an article posted on January 23rd of this year.

  • The stock market grew 31 percent in the 807 trading days before Trump’s election, but it grew by 56 percent in the 807 trading days after it, up through the third anniversary of Trump’s inauguration.
  • Manufacturing rose 3.6 percent during Trump’s three years, which was more than double the rise of 1.7 percent in the three years under Obama before that, according to government data.
  • Manufacturing employment also rose under Trump, with 487,000 manufacturing jobs created.
  • In contrast, in the three years prior to Trump’s term, manufacturing employment rose by 287,000 jobs.
  • Back on January 23rd, the unemployment rate was the lowest that it had bee in 30 years.
  • Wages were at their highest point ever.
  • Lowest-income workers saw their biggest raises in 2019.
  • In 2019 the past year, nominal wages for the lowest 10 percent of American workers jumped 7 percent. The growth rate for those without a high-school diploma was 9 percent.

Joe Biden has had almost 40 years in Washington to provide “shovel-ready jobs” for American Workers.

President Trump, before the Chinese Virus hit, had turned America’s Economy around in 3 years.

Also, on a related subject, Biden had an interview with Joy Reid on her new MSNBC show st night during which the Democrat Propagandist lobbed up softball question for the dementia-riddled presumptive Democratic Presidential Candidate to answer

In contrast, President Trump, during his interview on Fox New Sunday with Chris Wallace took every hard question and biting comment that Wallace threw his way and hit it out of the park.

If Sleepy Joe cannot handle hard questions during a television interview, how can he make the hard decisions that a president is often called upon to make?

He can’t.

And, judging from the lack of Biden for President signs throughout the country…

I believe that Americans have already smelled what he’s shoveling.

Two Former Fox News Employees File Lawsuits Alleging Sexual Harassment Against Hannity and Carlson and Rape Against Ed Henry

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Henry Carlson Hannity

https://twitter.com/aubrey_huff/status/1285382727613571073?s=20

WashingtonTimes.com reports that

Fox News Channel stars Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz were accused of sexual harassment by a frequent on-air guest in a lawsuit filed Monday that the network called frivolous and untrue.

In the same case, a former Fox employee said she was harassed and raped by news anchor Ed Henry, who was fired July 1 shortly after the network became aware of the accusations.

Henry’s lawyer, Catherine Foti, said Monday that her client’s accuser, Jennifer Eckhart, initiated and encouraged a sexual relationship.

Hannity and Carlson represent two-thirds of Fox’s lucrative prime-time lineup, while Kurtz hosts the weekend “Media Buzz” show. None of the men have been mentioned before in any misconduct allegations at Fox until the charges were made by Cathy Areu.

The lawsuit filed in New York describes Areu’s discomfort with a March 2018 incident on the set of Hannity’s show where the host allegedly put $100 on a desk and challenged the men on his staff to take her out on a date.

She said she was a guest on Carlson’s show in December 2018 and that after it was over, he told her he was staying in a hotel room in New York that night without his wife and children. In 2019, she said Kurtz invited her to his hotel room to discuss her hope of getting a full-time job at Fox. When she instead invited him to dinner with her and a friend, he declined, she said.

In the cases of Carlson and Kurtz, Areu believed the men were making sexual advances, the lawsuit said. Areu said she was also propositioned by Gianno Caldwell, a Fox contributor.

This sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Well, there’s always two sides to every story…

Fox News spokesperson Jessica Ketner issued a statement to Heavy.com. It said:

Based on the findings of a comprehensive independent investigation conducted by an outside law firm, including interviews with numerous eyewitnesses, we have determined that all of Cathy Areu’s claims against FOX News, including its management as well as its hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity & Howard Kurtz and its contributor Gianno Caldwell, are false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit.

We take all claims of harassment, misconduct and retaliation seriously, promptly investigating them and taking immediate action as needed — in this case, the appropriate action based on our investigation is to defend vigorously against these baseless allegations. Ms. Areu and Jennifer Eckhart can pursue their claims against Ed Henry directly with him, as FOX News already took swift action as soon as it learned of Ms. Eckhart’s claims on June 25 and Mr. Henry is no longer employed by the network.

Henry tweeted, “I will fight with every fiber of my being.” He also released a statement from his attorney, Cathy Foti, denying the accusations and saying he was in a consensual relationship with Eckhart:

The MeToo movement has helped to bring to light a number of injustices in our society, and everyone that has suffered deserves to be heard. This is not one of those cases. The evidence in this case will demonstrate that Ms. Eckhart initiated and completely encouraged a consensual relationship. Ed Henry looks forward to presenting actual facts and evidence, which will contradict the fictional accounts contained in the complaint. That evidence includes graphic photos and other aggressively suggestive communications that Ms. Eckhart sent to Mr. Henry.

Okay, we are all very familiar with the accused.

What do we know about the accusers?

Per her LinkedIn.com Profile Page,

Jennifer Eckhart is a female powerhouse in the media industry who bridges the gap between producing and being an on-air personality. Jennifer joined the Fox News team in January 2013, and is frequently featured on Fox programming, including Fox News Radio & Fox Nation. She also produces one of the top rated business shows in America, “Countdown to the Closing Bell.”

..Jennifer’s proudest achievement, however, is giving some of the youngest and brightest entrepreneurs aiming to disrupt entire industries a chance at the national spotlight.

Before joining Fox News, Jennifer was as a correspondent for ESPN Radio where she hosted the 2011 ESPN College Football Awards live from the red carpet in Orlando, FL. Jennifer also served as an Entertainment Anchor for WUFT-TV, a PBS affiliate in Gainesville, Florida.

In her personal life, she is dating a corporate lawyer and has an Instragram Page under a very interesting non de plume: “aho 187″.

Don’t ask me to spell that out for you. I am too much of a gentleman for that.

According to Cathy Areu’s Instragram Profile, she listed as a Journalist, a Former Washington Post Contributing Editor, CATALINA Founder, host of “Liberal Sherpa” & “Catalina” podcasts, and she did Op-Ed’s on Fox News.

CATALINA is a magazine for Latina Women.

Areu is known as a Liberal Political Activist.

Now, I am no lawyer but my almost 40 years of experience working in corporations tells me a couple of things:

Concerning Ms. Eckhart’s claims, Fox did not want take the chance that it might be true, so they got rid of Ed Henry for safety’s sake.

Second, their sticking behind Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity tells me that they believe what their spoekesperson wrote: that her stories are a bunch of garbage.

Not to be insensitive, but…

If you are going to file rape and sexual coercion charges against someone, you probably should have changed your Instragram handle proclaiming yourself to be “aho”.

Otherwise, the public will think you and you associate are going after these men for the sake of fame, money, and politics.

I’m just sayin”.

“New Bolsheviks” of Antifa and BLM Riot in Seattle, Break Into Amazon Go…Why This is Happening Now

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Seattle Riot 71920

FoxNews.com reports that

At least two people were arrested in Seattle and a police officer is in the hospital Sunday after a march through downtown devolved into property damage and looting, police say.

Police said Sunday evening the demonstrators had broken out several windows of the East Precinct, then threw a device into the lobby that ignited a small fire.

The fire was later extinguished and no injuries were reported, police said.

The demonstration started between 2 and 3 p.m. near the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Pine Street. A photo posted on Seattle’s DOT traffic channel showed crowds blocking an intersection.

Around 2:30 p.m., Seattle journalist Katie Daviscourt tweeted a video of a crowd of people outside an Amazon Go building. Several people were seen spray-painting the building while others tried to smash the windows.

“Antifa Militants and Black Lives Matter rioters are breaking into Amazon Go Downtown Seattle,” Daviscourt tweeted. “This protest has turned into a riot.”

Seattle police tweeted shortly before 5 p.m. that the crowd had continued to march on Pike Street from downtown and two people had been arrested outside of the West Precinct.

Police said demonstrators had thrown rocks, bottles, and other items at officers and at least one officer had been transported to the hospital.

A video clip posted on Twitter by Elizabeth Turnball shows the smashed doors to a Walgreens on Pine before Broadway.

Seattle police were working to block off the entrance to Interstate 5 so protesters could not enter, Seattle’s KING-TV reported.

Police said demonstrators had gone from Westlake Park to the Municipal Courthouse and then headed back north to the West precinct “leaving behind a trail of property destruction.”

“These are criminal acts, not peaceful protests,” police said.

The demonstration came amid ongoing police protests nationwide sparked by the police custody of George Floyd, a Black Minneapolis man, in late May.

Seattle drew national attention after activists set up an “occupied” zone dubbed “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest,” or CHOP, that occupied several blocks around a park for about two weeks after police abandoned a precinct station following standoffs and clashes. They later changed its name to the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ. Seattle’s mayor ordered the zone cleared after two deadly shootings.

And, apparently, a fat lot of good that did.

So, anyway, here we are…with a bunch of paid and unpaid “useful idiots”, tearing up America’s major cities, as Far Left Democrat mayors and Governors cheer them on, all the while isolating average Americans in their homes as a “weapon” against a coronavirus which is being over-reported by America’s health providers.

And, while we are being isolated and bossed around, race-baiting  Marxist Political Activists continue to riot while telling all of us normal Americans, living out here in the Heartland, how stupid and intolerant we are, for actually holding on to Traditional American Values and wanting to “Make America Great Again” through the reelection of Donald J. Trump to the office of the President of the United States of America.

I have heard this kind of garbage before.

Back in 2011, I got into a discussion on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website with some Cheetos-munching, Mom’s basement-dwelling Lib with no home training, who proceeded to tell me that he would be proud to defecate on the American Flag.

If I could have reached through my computer monitor and throttled that useless, ungrateful spoiled brat, I would have.

That “dude” was yet another example of the useful idiots of this present generation, such as the members of Antifa and BLM, who are garnering a lot of national attention for their outrageous, disrespectful, violent, and yes, intolerant, behavior.

Just as we have bore witness to the glorification of thugs and the vilifying of our local police departments which actually started during he Obama Administration and the local “communities” which they lay their lives on the line for, every day they put on their uniforms, the effects of LBJ’s “Great Society” on American Culture and the Black Family Unit and a generation which never took the time to actually be parents to their children, leaving that up to the schools, which indoctrinated them to hate America and what we stand for.

That’s right. This is what happens when children are left to “their own devices”, instead of being raised “in the way in which they should go”.

These “spoiled brats” who continue to riot in out streets, do not care about the “Will of the People”, but, rather, they are intent on implementing and enforcing their Far Left Political Ideology, resulting in a “Tyranny of the Minority”, which we saw play out preciously, both during the Obama Administration and also when paid and unpaid protesters attempted to stop the Nomination and Installation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.

These New Bolsheviks are also attempting to somehow halt the fulfilling of President Trump’s Campaign Promises in order to stop another Trump-engineered comeback of America in order to hold on to their “FREE STUFF” bestowed upon them by the “benevolent masters” of the Democrat Party.

If you have ever attempted to debate one of these “New Bolsheviks” on a Facebook Political Page or a Political Website, they always attempt to present their opinions as facts, with nothing by Political Rhetoric to back them up.

The use of Karl Marx/Saul Alinsky-inspired “Class War Politics” by the Democratic Leadership, while promising to somehow restore Barack Hussein Obama’s “share the wealth” failed Domestic Policy, has also inspired these self-absorbed brats to act like the Bolsheviks of the Russian Revolution, in an attempt to create a divided nation, the likes of which has not been seen since “The War of Northern Aggression” for the sole purpose, as Senator Lindsey Graham pointed out in the Kavanaugh Hearings, to gain back their political power.

When our Founding Fathers sat down to provide form and substance to the laws and procedures for governing this new country, which they had fought and won a bloody war over, by pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, they were very aware of the price of tyranny and the danger of mob rule.

They determined that this new nation would be a Constitutional Republic, having had their fill of monarchies.

And, that Sacred Document, our United States Constitution, gives each of us the right, including Trump, to speak our minds and be heard.

It gives the protesters of the Presidency of Donald  J. Trump that right, too…but, not at the expense of others, by attempting to destroy a good man through lies and innuendos or by strong-arming and harassing those who refuse to believe the way they do through the means of riots and violence, for the expressed purpose of denying others their First Amendment Rights.

Our Constitution, in fact, allowed then-Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton to call all of us who believe in Traditional American Values and the preservation of American as the Greatest Country on God’s Green Earth “Deplorables”.

However, that same Constitution, which Americans have fought and died for to preserve, also gives me the right to label these brats whom the Democrat Elite refer to as “peaceful protesters” as what they really are

NEW BOLSHEVIKS ATTEMPTING AN AMERICAN MARXIST REVOLUTION.

While Antifa and BLM “Protest” in US, Chinese Christians are Being Forced to Worship the State… Is That Our Future, Too?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

chinachristians_hdv

“The Chinese Communist Party is an evil regime. … They are running concentration camps in Northwestern China, and they are persecuting Christians throughout their region, and they have long forced abortions on women or sterilization on women,” – Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

ChristianPost.com reports that

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, poor Christian villagers in China have been ordered to renounce their faith and replace displays of Jesus with portraits of Chairman Mao and President Xi Jinping or risk losing their welfare benefits.

Religious liberty magazine Bitter Winter reports that in April, officials with China’s Communist Party visited believers’ homes in Linfen, a prefecture-level city in the northern province of Shanxi. While there, they ordered residents who receive social welfare payments from the government to replace crosses, religious symbols, and images in their homes with portraits of China’s communist leaders.

If Christians resisted the order, officials annulled their subsidies.

“All impoverished households in the town were told to display Mao Zedong images,” a local pastor told Bitter Winter. “The government is trying to eliminate our belief and wants to become God instead of Jesus.”

A member of a state-sponsored Three-Self church in one of the villages recounted how local officials tore down all religious images and a calendar with an image of Jesus in his home and posted a portrait of Mao Zedong instead. 

“Impoverished religious households can’t receive money from the state for nothing — they must obey the Communist Party for the money they receive,” the believer quoted an official as stating. 

In May, an official in the eastern province of Shandong stormed into the home of a local Christian. While inside the Christian’s home, the official posted portraits of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping and reportedly said, “These are the greatest gods. If you want to worship somebody, they are the ones.”

In April, the government of Xinyu city in the southeastern province of Jiangxi canceled a disabled Christian’s minimum living subsidy and a monthly disability allowance of 100 RMB (about $14) because the believer continued to attend worship services despite government orders. 

Similarly, in Jiangxi’s Poyang county, a Christian woman in her 80s was removed from the government’s aid list because she said “Thank God” after receiving her monthly 200 RMB (about $28) subsidy in mid-January. 

Another elderly Christian woman from Henan’s Shangqiu city had her minimum living allowance canceled after government officials found a cross image posted on the door of her home.

“They tore it down immediately,” she said. “Afterward, both my minimum living allowance and poverty alleviation subsidy were canceled. I am being driven to a dead end. I have diabetes and need injections regularly.”

The Communist Party previously targeted images and photos of Jesus as part of its campaign to “transform believers in religion into believers in the party.”

In 2017, The South China Morning Post reported that CCP officials removed more than 600 Christian symbols from the living rooms of believers in Yugan county of Jiangxi province, and 453 hung portraits of the communist dictator.

SCMP, a newspaper that kowtows to the communist regime, claimed the move was part of a state-sponsored campaign to alleviate poverty in the region since some CCP members believe families’ faith is to blame for poverty.

“Many poor households have plunged into poverty because of illness in the family. Some resorted to believing in Jesus to cure their illnesses,” the head of the government campaign told SCMP. “But we tried to tell them that getting ill is a physical thing, and that the people who can really help them are the Communist Party and General Secretary Xi.”

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, rights groups, and the U.S. State Department have condemned China’s continued crackdown on religion and religious minorities.

In its 2020 Annual Report, USCIRF called upon the Trump administration to impose targeted sanctions on Chinese officials responsible for severe religious freedom violations. It noted that Chinese authorities not only removed crosses from churches across the nation but also banned youth age 18 and younger from participating in religious services.

In June, a Christian man was arrested and at least two women were injured in China’s Henan province after 200 communist officials stormed into Sunzhuang Church and demolished the structure using cranes and heavy-duty machinery.

On Open Doors USA’s World Watch List, China is ranked No. 23 on its list of countries known for persecuting Christians. The organization notes that all churches are perceived as a threat if they become too large, too political, or invite foreign guests.

Sound familiar?

It should.

As Antifa and Black Lives Matter continue to protest, riot, destroy property, and disrupt American life in major U.S. cities, Democrats and those on the Far Left of the political spectrum are still trying to equate the actions of these ungrateful little barbarians with the noble actions of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.

That is a shining example of promoting a false equivalency.

Several leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., were devout and serious Christians.

Dr. King studied the Bible and took God’s Holy Word very seriously. He saw the huge contradiction between God’s moral code and state-sponsored discrimination.

He believed that Americans would listen to him about civil rights because they shared a mutual faith in the God of Abraham, and His Son, Jesus Christ.

America in the 1960s was still a nation of believers who shared the same belief in morality and ethics.

Today, we are watching our popular culture being inundated by the tenets of radical secular humanism. Relative morality and situational ethics are both practiced and lauded by “the smartest people in the room”.

We are watching a generation which has been indoctrinated in our public schools to believe that they are their own god, and whatever they do, right or wrong, is just “me being me”.

So, if they deface or burn down a church, or, if “protesters” harass Christians going to or leaving church services, it is excused because Christians are “narrow-minded” and “not doing what is best for society”.

If America puts the far Left Democratic Party in charge of the Oval Office and House and both Houses of Congress this November, we will no longer be the Constitutional Republic that our Founders meant for us to be, where we can worship God “in spirit and in truth”.

Instead, just like Communist China, the State will be our god, whether we want it to be or not.

And, all the richness and fullness of our lives under the American Freedom which God bequeathed us would be transformed into a life spent in working and living for the good of a Marxist Government, just like those poor Chinese Christians in the above article.

The present actions of Antifa and BLM are just a portent of things to come, unless Christian Americans “put on the full armor of God” and reclaim America from the New Bolsheviks who seek to “radically change” it.

So, love God, pray, and stand up for what is right.

“Onward, Christian Soldiers,

Marching as to war.

With the cross of Jesus,

going on before.”

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Wants Trump to Remove DHS Agents While Antifa Continues to Protest…Why?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

DHS-chief-denounces-‘lawless-anarchists’-in-Portland-amid-ongoing-protests

FoxNews.com reports that

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is demanding that President Trump remove federal agents deployed to the city amid criticisms of a heavy-handed response against protesters and journalists and reports that militarized law enforcement personnel have refused to identify themselves.

“Keep your troops in your own buildings, or have them leave our city,” Wheeler said at a news conference Friday. “This is part of the core media strategy out of Trump’s White House: to use federal troops to bolster his sagging polling data. And it is an absolute abuse of federal law enforcement officials.”

His remarks came on the same day the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Marshals Service for allegedly violating the rights of journalists and legal observers. The suit adds the federal agencies to an existing complaint to halt crowd control measures and the use of tear gas, rubber bullets against the media and legal observers during protests.

Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said that officers are in contact with federal agents, but that neither controls what the other does.

“We do communicate with federal officers for the purpose of situational awareness and deconfliction,” Lovell said. “We’re operating in a very, very close proximity to one another … so it’s important for us to know if they’re going to take some type of action and it’s important for them to know if we’re going to take some type of action.”

Federal officers have detained 13 people for crimes related to the ongoing protests, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported Thursday. One video showed two people in helmets and green camouflage with “police” patches grabbing a person on the sidewalk, handcuffing them and taking them into an unmarked vehicle.

“Who are you?” someone asks the pair, who do not respond. At least some of the federal officers belong to the Department of Homeland Security.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that its agents had information indicating the person in the video was suspected of assaulting federal agents or destroying federal property.

“Once CBP agents approached the suspect, a large and violent mob moved towards their location. For everyone’s safety, CBP agents quickly moved the suspect to a safer location,” the agency said. However, the video shows no mob.

Another protester said men in green military fatigues and generic “police” patches jumped out of an unmarked minivan early Wednesday and arrested him as he walked home from what he characterized as a peaceful protest. He told The Washington Post he was scared because he did not know who detained him.

“Authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., on Twitter, along with a video of a protester being arrested and placed into an unmarked van. “These Trump/Barr tactics designed to eliminate any accountability are absolutely unacceptable in America, and must end.”

Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, accused Trump of using the power of the federal government to distract the public from the resurgence of the coronavirus in the United States.

There is always two sides to every story.

From DHS.gov, dated 7/16/2020…

“The city of Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuse to restore order to protect their city. Each night, lawless anarchists destroy and desecrate property, including the federal courthouse, and attack the brave law enforcement officers protecting it.  

“A federal courthouse is a symbol of justice – to attack it is to attack America. Instead of addressing violent criminals in their communities, local and state leaders are instead focusing on placing blame on law enforcement and requesting fewer officers in their community. This failed response has only emboldened the violent mob as it escalates violence day after day. 

“This siege can end if state and local officials decide to take appropriate action instead of refusing to enforce the law. DHS will not abdicate its solemn duty to protect federal facilities and those within them. Again, I reiterate the Department’s offer to assist local and state leaders to bring an end to the violence perpetuated by anarchists,” said Acting Secretary Chad Wolf 

Below is a snapshot of the lawless destruction and violence of the past several weeks that Department of Homeland Security and its subcomponents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and Federal Protective Service have faced:

So, why is Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler fighting so hard against the presence of Federal Agents?

It would seem to me that any mayor worth his salt would want to get the protesters out of the way, so that his municipality would have a chance at a revenue stream from summer tourism, even with the return of COVID-19.

The thing is, Antifa has been operating in Wheeler’s city for quite some time now.

If Mayor Wheeler, a Democrat, was going to “deal with” the hooded thugs of Antifa, he would have done it by now.

Gentle readers, you have no doubt noticed all of this railing against “Authority” and the perceived “fascism” of a sitting President of the United States.

Why, it’s reminiscent of the old days of the Weather Underground and “Bomber” Bill Ayers.

Speaking of which…

On Thursday, April 27th, 2017, the following information was posted in an article found on gatewaypundit.com…

Violent domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is officially linked to Antifa through his group “Refuse Fascism”.

Ayers is infamous for the Weather Underground, a domestic terror organization he co-founded with other degenerates, and for bombing the Pentagon.

“Refuse Fascism“, a fascist organization that wishes to inhibit and deny the speech of conservatives, is partly funded by George Soros. It has organizers like Bill Ayers and is targeting youth across the country with the intention of indoctrinating and brainwashing individuals who nascent politically. We know Ayers was associated with Barrack Obama and is a big supporter of various socialists and communists as well as violent terrorists.

Today, it has come out that Ayers is partnering with Antifa in the spread of militant violence against pro-America demonstrators. Leftists have historically turned Ayers into a folklore figure who they cherish and respect despite his violent past.

That article in turn referenced another article found on breitbart.com on February 3rd of that year, which related the following information…

One of the far-left “anti-fascist” groups behind last week’s riot in Berkeley, Refuse Fascism, received $50,000 from a group backed by socialist billionaire George Soros, according to the Daily Caller.

The Alliance for Global Justice, which is funded by the George Soros-backed Tides Foundation, reportedly donated $50,000 to fund Refuse Fascism, which openly brags about using violence to shut down conservative and libertarian speech.

“While it is unclear whether those who carried out the violence were paid to do so, the benefactors of the Alliance for Global Justice — and Refuse Fascism — are listed online,” reported the Daily Caller. “According to its most recent 990 tax form, Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ) received $2.2 million in funding for the fiscal year ending in March 2016. One of the group’s biggest donors is the Tides Foundation, a non-profit funded by billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros. Tides gave AfGJ $50,000.”

These Antifa Idiots have been following a well-written out plan all along.

Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, a favorite of the 60s counter-culture, was on the reading list of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, and his First Secretary of State and Failed 2016 Democratic Party Presidential Candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let’s look at rule #8 – rule #13:

8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.

9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.

10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.

11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.

12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

It’s very apparent from what is happening during Trump’s Presidency that somebody’s read Alinsky’s book.

When our Founding Fathers sat down to provide form and substance to the laws and procedures for governing this new country, which they had fought and won a bloody war over, by pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, they were very aware of the price of tyranny.

They determined that this new nation would be a Constitutional Republic, having had their fill of monarchies.

In order to ensure that no leader of this new nation would go mad with power, and become a tyrannical despot, our Founders set up a System of Checks and Balances, overseen by Three Branches of Government: the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial, with each branch having a distinct and LIMITED role.

The situation, which we as a nation, find ourselves in today, is one which our Founding Fathers sought valiantly to avoid.

During 8 years of a Previous Imperious Presidency, we suffered under a “Tyranny of the Minority”.

This minority was not based on color, rather, it was one based on political ideology and self-interest.

As the past several years showed before the election of Donald J. Trump as President, this minority, buoyed by money from this “sponsors”, including the Halls of Power in Washington, DC, were willing to shut down anyone who threatened “what they had” by ANY MEANS NECESSARY, including political devices and beliefs, which we, as a country, had gone to war against in the past.

What the spoiled brats of both the Antifa and BLM Movements do not seem to grasp is that America is, as I stated earlier, a Constitutional Republic.

Our Presidents do not ascend into office by mob rule.

On a different website, you will find these words…

Where is this art of ruling, to say nothing of the art of leadership? It is only the unscrupulousness for robbery. And when this same man then says: “We have a fine instinct for idealism and material values.” Yes indeed they have. They have destroyed idealism everywhere, and they have grabbed and taken possession of material worth and always grabbed and taken possession of it, too, by brutal force only. For in 300 years that nation has oppressed and yoked and subjected nation after nation, people after people, race after race.

No, boys and girls, the following quote did not come from the Antifa Group Refuse Fascism’s website, although it certainly reads like something they would write.

This quote comes from the Jewish Virtual Library. It is taken from a speech, delivered in 1942, given on the 19th Anniversary of the “Beer Hall Putsch”, by German Chancellor Adolph Hitler.

The Beer Hall Putsch was an incident that took place on November 8, 1923, when Nazi troops under the direction of Hermann Goering surrounded the a beer hall in Munich, Germany. At 8:30 p.m., Hitler and his storm troopers burst into the beer hall causing instant panic. Hitler announced to the crowd that the Revolution had begun, and went to the back room of the hall to try to persuade the local officials to capitulate to him. They wouldn’t. Hitler’s attempt to seize power that night failed. But, thanks to word of mouth, and Hitler’s use of propaganda, a seed was planted, that would eventually lead to World War II.

By now, you are probably asking:

Okay. So what does one thing have to do the other?

Hitler eventually rose to power by preying upon the economic despair, hopelessness, and avarice of the German people, whose country was savaged by the Great Depression of 1929.

Hitler chose his nations Jewish Population as his scapegoat, blaming them for Germany’s plight. He soon attracted legions of young men, swayed by his propaganda, who began to march the streets of Germany, intimidating anyone who dared to disagree with them.

Hitler formed a political party, naming it The National Socialist Party, which led to he and his thugs being called “Nazis”.

The era became known as the “Rise of Fascism”.

As I have related before, according to various sources, during the Nazi Occupation of Hungary in the 1940s, the Funder of moveon.org and the never-ending protests against President Donald J. Trump by groups such as Refuse Fascism and BLM, George Soros , reported his own countrymen to the Nazis, facilitating their removal via “the long train ride from which very few ever returned”.

These Modern Day Bolsheviks are unknowingly doing the bidding of evil fascists themselves, just as the original Bolsheviks did.

And, remember, boys and girls, Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats, like Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, are supporting them

The Antifa, BLM, and all of the other radicalized “Social Organizations” are carrying out the Machiavellian Plans of a very evil man, who almost bankrupted England, and, in his long life, has stood for the very things which these “Social Justice Warriors” claim to be fighting against.

Irony is embarrassed.

“Woke” Hypocrisy: 15 Female Former Redskins Employees Report Sexual Harassment While They Worked There

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Screen-Shot-2013-11-17-at-2.51.59-PM1

The same bunch of “morally superior” East and West Coast Liberals, who have been insulting and talking down to average Americans, from their positions of notoriety and power, simply because we believe in Traditional American Faith and Values and we would not swallow the Kool-aid they we offering during the 2016 Presidential Campaign and elected Donald J Trump as President, instead of the Queen of Mean, knew all along about the debauchery going on both behind closed doors and out in their open in their places of business.

It takes a special sort of hypocrite to sit in judgment as their have with all of their sexual harassment baggage neatly hidden away…or so they thought.

And now, the Former Washington “Redskins” of the NFL have given the term “forward pass” a whole new meaning.

FoxNews.com reports that

Fifteen female former employees who worked for the Redskins told The Washington Post that they were sexually harassed while working for the organization, the newspaper published in a bombshell report Thursday.

According to The Post, the team declined a request to release 15 of the former female employees from non-disclosure agreements so they could speak on the record.

Emily Applegate, who worked as a marketing coordinator before leaving in 2015, was the only woman who spoke to the newspaper on the record about her experience working for the Redskins. The allegations, which reportedly ran from 2006 to 2019, would fall under unwelcome overtures or comments of a sexual nature, and exhortations to wear revealing clothing and flirt with clients to close sales deals, the paper reported.

“It was the most miserable experience of my life,” Applegate told The Post. “And we all tolerated it, because we knew if we complained — and they reminded us of this — there were 1,000 people out there who would take our job in a heartbeat.”

Washington owner Daniel Snyder also declined several interview requests, according to the newspaper.

Last weekend, The Washington Post detailed these accusations to the team, and they found out that three employees were involved in these inappropriate behaviors, the newspaper reported. Washington’s longtime radio voice Larry Michael, who retired abruptly on Wednesday, and team director of pro personnel Alex Santos — who was recently fired — were two names mentioned in the allegations Thursday.

Michael would reportedly make comments about the appearance of female colleagues in a sexual manner. And in 2018, he was caught on a “hot mic” talking about a college-aged intern’s physical features. Santos, on the other hand, was reportedly accused by six former employees and two reporters who cover the team of making inappropriate remarks about their bodies and asking them if they were romantically interested in him, according to the newspaper.

Richard Mann II, who was a former assistant director of pro personnel, said in a text message, which was acquired by The Post, that he and his colleagues debated whether or not a female employee’s breasts had been improved by a surgical procedure. Mann was also fired last week by the team.

None of the 15 women accused Snyder or former team president Bruce Allen of inappropriate behavior, according to the newspaper. However, the women believed that they must have known that these behaviors were happening.

“I would assume Bruce [Allen] knew, because he sat 30 feet away from me… and saw me sobbing at my desk several times every week,” Applegate told the newspaper.

The team announced in a statement that it hired Washington D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson “to conduct a thorough independent review of this entire manner and help the team set new employee standards for the future.”

“The Washington Redskins football team takes issues of employee conduct seriously,” the team said in a statement. “While we do not speak to specific employee situations publicly, when new allegations of conduct are brought forward that are contrary to these policies, we address them promptly.”

Is it just me, boys and girls, or do you, too, see a pattern of hypocrisy concerning the public and private actions of America’s “Woke” Liberals and the reality of what has become known as the “Me, Too” Movement?

The very individuals who have told us “that wasn’t who we were” if we were to vote for Donald J. Trump on November 8, 2016 and who have doubled-down on their sanctimonious behavior as we draw near to Election Day 2020, have proven themselves to be “not who we are” to begin with.

For all of their self-proclaimed piety and scripted sanctimony, the Liberal Elite who parade themselves across our movie and television screens, whether in entertainment or in professional sports, are turning out to be no more sophisticated and above reproach than the “dancers” and “patrons” at your local “Boom-Boom Room”.

For all of their hues and cries over Trump’s recorded private conversation about “party girls”, these members of Hollywood’s and Professional Sports’ Liberal Elite have felt the cold hard slap of their own hypocrisy slap them squarely in their surgically enhanced faces.

The funny thing is, if you had asked all of these Liberals before their “indiscretions” came out, how they felt about women, they would have told you that they were “Feminists”.

Y’know, I’m may be just an old cracka’, but somehow I don’t believe that being a “Feminist” means that you grope women and show off your shortcomings to them without their consent.

Considering the way that Liberal Democrats have talked down to the American Public, both as politicians and member of the Main Stream Media for the past few decades, this exercise in political cannibalism by them is both well-deserved and highly entertaining.

And, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of hypocrites.

Given this breaking news, since the Washington NFL Franchise has foolishly dropped this historic name “Redskins”…perhaps the team name should be the Washington Foreskins.

I’m just sayin’.

“Forgive me, Lord…and be with all of the starving pygmies in New Guinea. Amen.”

Trump Gains Endorsement of The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO)…They Endorsed Obama/Biden Twice

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

04-crime-growth-dt-600

The Great American Broadcaster, the late Paul Harvey, was the son of a policeman who died in the line of duty. He wrote the following tribute for one of his daily updates…

“What is a policeman?

“A policeman is a composite of what all men are, I guess, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and deity. What that really means is that they are exceptional, they are unusual. They are not commonplace. Buried under the froth is the fact, the fact is that less than one half of one percent of policeman misfit that uniform, and that is a better average than you’d find among clergymen.

“He of all men is at once the most needed, and the most wanted, a strangely nameless creature who is sir to his face and pig or worse behind his back. He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals so that each will think he won, but, if a policeman is neat, he’s conceited, if he’s careless he’s a bum, if he’s pleasant, he’s a flirt, if he’s not, he’s a grouch.

“He must make instant decisions that would require months for a lawyer but if he hurries he’s careless, if he’s deliberate, he’s lazy. He must be first to an accident, infallible with diagnoses. He must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints and above all, be sure the victim goes home without a limp.

“The police officer must know every gun, draw on the run and hit where it doesn’t hurt.

“He must be able to whip two men twice his size and half his age without damaging his uniform, and without being brutal. If you hit him he’s a coward, if he hits you, he’s a bully. The policeman from a single human hair must be able to describe the crime, the weapon the criminal, and tell you where the criminal is hiding but, if he catches the criminal he’s lucky, if he doesn’t he’s a dunce.

“He runs files and writes reports until his eyes ache to build a case against some felon who will get dealt out by some shameless shamus. The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy, and a gentle man. And of course, he’ll have to be a genius, because he’ll have to feed a family on a policeman’s salary.”

FoxNews.com reports that

The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) endorsed President Trump’s reelection Wednesday, praising his “steadfast and very public support” for law enforcement.

NAPO did not endorse a candidate in the 2016 election but endorsed former President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden in both the 2008 and 2012 elections.

NAPO President Michael McHale said Trump’s support is needed “during this time of unfair and inaccurate opprobrium being directed at our members by so many.”

“We particularly value your directing the Attorney General to aggressively prosecute those who attack our officers,” McHale wrote in a letter.

The police association, which represents more than 1,000 police associations and  241,000 officers, met with Trump on Monday.

Officers have faced routine disparaging in wake of nationwide racial injustice protests, and some have called out presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden for not condemning anti-police rhetoric.

While Biden’s campaign has staunchly opposed the idea of abolishing police departments, the candidate said that some funding should “absolutely” be redirected from the police.

In a Now This interview with activist Ady Barkan, the presumptive Democratic nominee said police forces don’t need surplus military equipment, saying this is what leads them to “become the enemy” in a community.

Biden campaign Rapid Response Director Andrew Bates said last month that the former vice president supports “the urgent need for reform,” which he said includes “funding for public schools, summer programs, and mental health and substance abuse treatment separate from funding for policing — so that officers can focus on the job of policing.”

The Biden campaign has pointed to the former vice president’s criminal justice plan, which proposes an additional $300 million for community policing. Bates said that the funding would “improve relationships between officers and residents” and would “provide the training that is needed to avert tragic, unjustifiable deaths.”

Trump, for his part, has billed himself as the president of “law and order.” During the NAPO meeting Trump on Monday planned to make his pitch to the National Association of Police Organizations as to why the group should endorse him.

“Our officers have been under vicious assault,” Trump said Monday during a roundtable with people whose lives have been positively impacted by law enforcement. “Reckless politicians have defamed our heroes as the enemy…These radical politicians want to defund and abolish the police.”

Trump added: “My administration is pro-safety, pro-police and anti-crime.”

Despite Biden’s efforts to align with both the protestors and the police, it appears that some police unions are rethinking their backing of him amid concerns that he’s embraced “anti-police rhetoric.”

“Joe Biden was a very strong supporter of them years ago, and he’s been kidnapped now by the anti-police rhetoric,” Paul Digiacomo, the president of the Detective Endowment Association, told Fox Business. “There’s a big question amongst our members if Joe Biden is going to stand up and support the police.”

Joe Biden has not been “kidnapped” by the Far Left.

His true colors are shining through.

He is following the political strategy of the Democratic Party, which is anti-police, Anti-Christian, anti-family, and just plain Anti-American.

Poor ol’ Joe, is very visibly losing his battle with dementia. There is a reason that his public appearances have been very limited.

Joe is being “handled”.

However, his handlers have made a huge mistake by not “Backing the Blue”.

The overwhelming majority of American citizens support the police and sheriff’s departments within their municipalities and counties.

The same Americans, living between the coasts, are the ones Hillary Clinton referred to as “Deplorables”.

And, these are the Americans who elected Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America.

Average Americans are very aware as to what the Democrats are doing by championing the “Defund the Police” movement….they are pandering to special interest groups while clearing another obstacle in their path to radically changing America into a Marxist nation.

There is nothing at all altruistic in the Democrats attempting to defund the police.

If you will notice, Democrat politicians, both local and national, either live in a gated community or hire private security for themselves.

They are not shy about protecting themselves.

They don’t care about average Americans, though.

Their bowing down to the Radical Left has now cost Joe Biden and the Democrat Party the support of a huge union and a very important one.

It was definitely a shot across their bow and a portent of  good things to come for President Trump, despite what the political push polls say.

After all, I haven’t seen him “in this much trouble” since the 2016 Presidential Election.

Back the Blue.

Trump Uses Rose Garden Presser to Attack Biden on Policy Proposals and History With China…Biden Campaign and Twitter Trolls Retaliate

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

files_08e7c2a337

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump veered off-script Tuesday after announcing new legislation against China to attack presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for his recent policy proposals – accusing Biden of aligning his campaign with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive leaders.

In comments similar to those made at campaign rallies, Trump laid into his Democratic rival for his policy proposal on immigration, criminal justice reform and climate change among other issues.

“Biden has gone radical left,” Trump said in the Rose Garden as he maligned the proposals laid out by the Biden campaign over the last week. “There’s never been a time when two candidates were so different.”

The Biden campaign later fired back at Trump’s comments, saying: “Today’s statement that was ostensibly supposed to be about China, but there was one topic that President Trump couldn’t seem to get off his mind: Joe Biden, whose name the President invoked nearly 30 times. The whole sad affair says more about Donald Trump than he said about any particular topic.”

“What we heard in the Rose Garden today wasn’t a president at all. It was a politician who sees his reelection slipping away from him and who is furious that his own botched response to the coronavirus pandemic has denied him the campaign events he so craves.”

“The American taxpayer should be reimbursed for the abuse of funds this spectacle represented,” the campaign said, adding that “a real leader” — referring to Biden — spoke earlier in Wilmington. “He offered the American people a positive, inspiring vision for our future where we don’t have to choose between confronting our existential climate crisis and creating millions of good-paying, union jobs at the same time.”

Trump’s comments come hours after Biden released a $2 trillion plan on Tuesday to boost investment in clean energy and stop all climate-damaging emissions from U.S. power plants by 2035.

“When Donald Trump thinks about climate change, the only word he can muster is ‘hoax,'” Biden told reporters. “When I think about climate change, what I think of is jobs.”

The climate package added to a series of detailed policy proposals Biden has released, including a $700 billion plan unveiled last week that would increase government purchasing of U.S.-based goods and invest in new research and development to frame a contrast with Trump, who has struggled to articulate a vision for a second term in the White House.

Biden’s proposal on Tuesday didn’t go as far as some measures in the Green New Deal, the sweeping proposal from progressives in Congress that calls for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the economy by 2030.

Trump on Tuesday also continued to harangue Biden as “weak” on his stance toward China.

“So Joe Biden and President Obama freely allowed China to pillage our factories, plunder our communities and steal our most precious secrets,” Trump said, adding, “I’ve stopped it largely.”

Trump added that Biden’s entire career in politics had been a “gift to the Chinese Communist Party.”

And there, in a nutshell, boys and girls, is the difference between Trump and Biden.

Trump brought back America’s economy before the Chinese Coronavirus hit by emphasizing America’s existing energy resources and in the process created new jobs and brought gas prices way down, where they have stayed.

Biden wants to renew Obama’s failed Energy strategies, which led to failed companies like GreenTech Automotive, which was run by Clinton Crony Terry McAuliffe.

As far as what was said during the president’s address in the Rose Garden, I know of no law governing what the President may or many not say in public and the location where he can say it.

I am writing this post after I got home from work last night, so I did not get to hear what the President said.

I did get to see the Liberal reactions on Twitter from Jim Acosta and the other whiney babies, and that told me that Trump shot his political arrows square in the center of the bullseye during his Rose Garden Speech yesterday.

One of the arguments that the Twitter Trolls used yesterday was that if Obama had used the Rose Garden like that, Conservatives would have been complaining about it.

The thing about Obama was, he didn’t just call his political enemies stupid, he called average Americans stupid for “bitterly clinging to our guns and bibles”.

At least President Trump actually likes being around us.

Joe Biden has had 47 years on Capitol Hill to make a difference in the lives of average Americans and he hasn’t done squat.

President Trump has accomplished more of behalf of the American people in three and one-half years that Joe Biden has in a lifetime.

No wonder Jim Acosta and the rest of the Twitter Trolls are so upset.

House to Vote Next Week on Removing 12 Confederate Statues From National Statuary Hall…Why Now?

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

la-ol-le-confederate-statues-us-capitol-20170927

12 Confederate Statues were placed in the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. 30 years after the Civil War and Congressional Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, who have been there for decades, are just now calling for their removal?

TheHill.com reports that

The House will vote next week on legislation to remove statues in the Capitol of people who served in the Confederacy or who otherwise worked to uphold slavery, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced Monday.

Lawmakers will vote next Wednesday on a bill that Hoyer unveiled on Monday with five senior members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). 

“It is reprehensible that individuals who did so much to divide our country and dehumanize African Americans are honored in the halls of Congress,” Hoyer said in the statement. “I hope all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join us in supporting this bill to right historical wrongs and ensure that the only people honored with busts and statues in the Capitol are those whose actions furthered the causes of liberty, unity, and equal rights.” 

The legislation specifically calls for removing the 11 Confederate statues displayed throughout the Capitol complex as well as statues and busts of Roger Taney, the former Supreme Court chief justice who authored the 1857 Dred Scott ruling that Black people shouldn’t hold the rights of citizens; Charles Aycock, who served as North Carolina governor; John Calhoun, the former vice president and member of Congress known for defending slavery; and James Paul Clarke, a former senator and governor of Arkansas who advocated for white supremacy.

It incorporates a bill Hoyer introduced in March that would replace the bust of Taney, which is currently located in the old Supreme Court chamber on the Senate side of the Capitol, with one of Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court justice.

The CBC has long advocated for removing Confederate statues from the Capitol. The effort won new momentum following the nationwide protests sparked by George Floyd’s death in police custody, which has also led to a broader examination of institutional racism in the United States.

Next Wednesday’s vote is part of an effort by House Democrats to draw a contrast on issues of racial justice with President Trump, who in recent weeks has embraced preserving Confederate monuments and threatened to veto a defense policy bill if it orders changing the names of military bases honoring Confederate officers.

The vote will come a month after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ordered the removal  of four portraits depicting former Speakers who served the Confederacy that had been on display near the House chamber.

The 11 statues in the Capitol complex of people who served in the Confederacy, such as army commander Robert E. Lee and president Jefferson Davis, are part of the National Statuary Hall collection. Each state contributes two statues to the collection and retains the sole authority to decide whether to replace its statues, although congressional leaders can decide where in the Capitol the statues can be on public display.

In every single presidential election, since I first voted for Future President Ronald Reagan in November of 1980, the voters of the South have proven to be the linchpin upon which all presidential candidates’ victory depended upon.

If you were able, as a Democrat or a Republican, to get the voters of the South to cast their ballots for you, you became the President of the United States of America.

The South, to this day, remains essential to winning the White House.

The Liberals in the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, alike, or the Vichy Republicans, as I call them, are all too aware of this political fact.

However, those who believe that the South, in the Year of Our Lord 2020, is still backwards, or somehow inferior to their point of view, or political ideology, have jumped at the effort to negate a period of our history in which American blood on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line was shed in combat.

Why have these Far Left Democrat Politicians, along with Antifa and BLM, shifted the focus of the nation away from the incompetency and mental deterioration of the presumed Democrat Party Presidential Candidate and created a cancel culture reminiscent of the Russian Revolution and the history-destroying Middle Eastern Rampage of ISIS?

Simple: Political Expediency.

By marginalizing the South as a part of this effort, the Far Left Democrats, from Nancy Pelosi on down the line, are hoping to diminish and possibly negate the leverage that Southern States have in molding the Political Landscape of America.

Even after the last 4 years of the Democrats’ continuous attacks on President Trump and the American way of life, America is still a Center-Right Nation.

Through their efforts in the National Education System to indoctrinate American Children into despising what America has always stood for, these politicians and their minions hoped to swing the Political Pendulum toward their side of the Political Aisle and to create a “Democratic Socialist (i.e., Marxist) country.

They know that, if somehow, they can place the Southern States in a “bad light” and at a Political Disadvantage, that perhaps our voice in the political affairs of this nation, will not carry as much weight.

Plus, between you and me and the water cooler, Liberals in the Northern and Western States remain ticked off that both American and International Businesses are still relocating to the South, where the climate is friendlier, the Unions have not made the cost of doing business unprofitable, and, where Old-Fashioned American Work Ethic still exists.

Just sayin’.

These Southern Americans, whom Pelosi and the rest of the virtue-signaling Far Left and Vichy Republicans seek to dishonor and hide away, like Bill Clinton’s little black book, were flawed men, as well.

However, the Federal Government recognizes them as United States of America Veterans.

 ” Every soldier’s grave made during our unfortunate civil war [sic] is a tribute to American valor… And the time has now come… when in the spirit of fraternity we should share in the care of the graves of the Confederate soldiers… and if it needed further justification it is found in the gallant loyalty to the Union and the flag so conspicuously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grandsons of those heroic dead.” …President William McKinley, 14 December 1898.

These statues MUST be left alone, to serve as a reminder of mistakes made, by NORTH and South, and as a reminder that, like a family often does, we fight among ourselves, but our true strength lies in forgiveness, compassion. courage, and integrity.

Four character traits that both the Far Left Democratic Party and Modern American Liberals in general seemingly have forsaken in their quest to restore power to their minority political ideology.

Character traits which they had better suck up and find soon, because the young fascists of Antifa and BLM could very well turn on them after they are through treating them as “useful idiots”

And their “feelings” won’t matter at all.

Until He Comes,
