According to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, Biden’s Runaway Inflation is Not a Problem…Americans Can Afford It…(Let Them Eat Cake!)

Stephanie Ruhle

FoxNews.com reports that

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle argued Americans have to put the high inflation rate and rising costs of food and other every day items “in perspective” on Sunday.

The consumer price index rose 6.2% year over year in October, according to the Department of Labor, the largest annual gain since November 1990. And prices rose 0.9% month over month.

But the soaring costs, Ruhle said on NBC, were expected after the worldwide pandemic, before telling anchor Willie Geist that Americans “on average” can actually afford the higher prices.

“The dirty little secret here, Willie, while nobody likes to pay more, on average, we have the money to do so,” she said. “Household savings hit a record high over the pandemic, we didn’t really have anywhere to go out and spend.”

Ruhle added that the U.S. is expecting “record” retail sales this year, home values are up, and the stock market is experiencing record highs, to justify her argument.

Conservative pundits predicted that, if adopted by Democrats, the kind of messaging Ruhle was espousing will derail their chances in the next round of elections. Others referred to Ruhle as “Stephanie Antoinette,” in reference to Marie Antoinette, the arrogant Queen of France during the French Revolution.

Others called her “tone deaf,” “elitist” and “out of touch.”

Andrew Wagner, the director of public affairs for the Minnesota House Republicans, called Ruhle’s comment “next level out of touch stuff.”

Ruhle was accused of out-of-touch thinking after she argued that unvaccinated Americans can just work from home or homeschool their children, despite studies showing that it was harder for less well-off Americans to have the ability to work from home.

“If you do not want to get vaccinated, you can work from home,” she said in September. “You can home school your children. You can shop online.”

Inflation is credited as one of the driving factors causing Democratic senators like Joe Manchin, W.Va., from supporting President Biden’s social spending bill. The bill has reportedly dropped from $3.5 trillion price tag to under $2 trillion.

The president argued the reconciliation bill will help reduce inflation.

“It is important that Congress pass my Build Back Better plan, which is fully paid for and does not add to the debt and will get more Americans working by reducing the cost of child care and elder care, and help directly lower costs for American families by providing more affordable health coverage and prescription drugs — alongside cutting taxes for 50 million Americans, including for most families with children,” he said.

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, argued the Democrats’ spending bill will “add fuel to the fire.”

Indeed, it will.

You know what else is adding fuel to the fire?

The overwhelming arrogance of the Far Left Democrat Elitists.

From Joe Biden on down, the Democratic Party has demonstrated in the last 10 months that they do not care what Americans think…nor what we want and need.

All these oligarchs care about is their special interest groups who help them grow their political power and wealth.

The Democrat Elite view themselves not only as the “Smartest People in the Room”, they view themselves as superior in ever criteria to average Americans.

Stephanie Ruhle remains oblivious as to the condescending tone of her comments.

To her, average Americans like us deserve to be talked down to because we cannot possibly be as intelligent as she is.

Biden feels the same way.

When Biden leans forward at the podium and whispers when he is trying to make a point during a speech or when he says that Americans do not understand how the Supply Chain operates, his dementia-riddled brain is allowing his Democrat Elitism to come out from behind his “Lunchbucket Joe” façade.

That is the reason that Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of the Democrat Snobs in Washington are still trying to pass the fiasco known as the Build Back Better Bill.

They want to “radically change” America into a Marxist nation so that they can get richer than they already are and rule with impunity like the old Soviet Politburo.

Americans have had enough.

LET’S GO BRANDON!!!

Biden Does Not Believe That Americans Understand the Supply Chain Problem

Biden Supply Chain Insult

FoxNews.com reports that

President Biden appeared to mock the intelligence of the American people on Saturday when discussing the ongoing supply chain crises in America, questioning whether “they’d understand” the topic at hand.

Biden’s remarks came during a press conference as he answered a question from a reporter on criticism he has faced from Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., who said: “Nobody elected him to be F.D.R., they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos.”

“I don’t intend to be anybody but Joe Biden, that’s who I am,” Biden said. “What I’m trying to do is do the things I ran on to do, and look, people out there are ordinary, hard-working Americans [who have been] put through the ringer the last couple of years.”

“People are worried,” Biden added, suggesting that people do not understand why “the price of agricultural products” has increased.

“If we were all going out and having lunch together and I said let’s ask whoever’s in the next table, no matter what restaurant we’re in, have them explain the supply chain to us. Do you think they’d understand what we’re talking about?” Biden asked.

The president said “they’re smart people,” but concluded that current crises are a part of a “complicated world.”

“We’ve never faced anything like this,” Biden added. “You can understand why people are upset. Whether you have a PhD or you’re working in a restaurant, it’s confusing and so people are understandably worried.”

Biden then said he was going to try and “explain to the American people” what supply chain issues America faces, telling the reporters in the room who “write for a living” that he has not seen any reporter “explain supply chain very well.”

“This is a confusing time,” Biden stated.

What a bunch of crap.

The Supply Chain Flotilla off of our coasts is a direct result of #EmptyShelvesBiden and the Democrat Elites’ Economic Plan to force Americans into servitude to Federal Government from cradle to grave.

The difference between the shortages that Americans are seeing in our grocery stores now and what they saw during the COVID-19 Pandemic, is that in 2020, the shortages were brought about by a panicking population.

What we are seeing now is coming straight from Washington, D.C.

Joe Biden is NOT a leader.

He never has been.

Peter St. Onge, a Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, has summed up what is going one with America’s Supply Chain in 3 very cogent points.

  1. Government diktats, handouts, and cronyism have catastrophically gummed up our supply chains, and it’s getting worse.
  2. What is driving the chaos? Government, along with union chokeholds, environmental and labor mandates on truckers, mandates on supply chain workers, and more.
  3. If Biden is serious about solving supply chains, he needs to get ports, truckers, railroads, and warehouses back to work.

The problem is the fact that President Joe Biden is a mentally impaired doddering old man, whose staff calls a lid on the President’s public activities early in the day, nearly every day.

Biden’s “Handlers” are running the United states Government.

Biden is merely a figurehead, a useful idiot whose best days are long behind him.

This is a man who is reported to have had a “bathroom accident” while meeting in the Vatican with the Pope, for gosh sake.

There is a reason that e campaigned from his basement with limited appearances.

The closest that Biden has come to being involved in a supply chain is lining up his toy boats in his bathtub.

And, this demented old fool has the nerve to question the intelligence of average Americans while he and his Handlers are running this country straight into the ground?

I don’t know about you, but I sure could use some $1.65 a gallon gas and some mean tweets right about now.

Sheesh.

Glenn Youngkin Elected Governor of Virginia…How Love Won the Election

yOUNGKIN

Newsmax reported last night that

Newsmax has declared GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin has defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial election, held alongside local and state races across the nation on Tuesday night.

Decision Desk HQ also made its early projection via tweet at 8:37 p.m. ET. The latest AP ballot results from Virginia will be updated live here.

A McAuliffe loss in Virginia, which Democratic President Joe Biden won by a double-digit margin over Republican then-President Donald Trump last year, would represent a demoralizing setback for national Democrats. McAuliffe saw his lead in public polls evaporate in the campaign’s closing weeks.

McAuliffe came out to speak to his supporters at his election headquarters at 10:20 p.m. ET, but refused to concede the election, saying there was 18% of the vote remaining to be reported and he wanted to be sure every vote is counted.

He thanked his campaign staff and voters.

Trump trolled McAuliffe in a statement from his Save America PAC just after 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday night:

“It is looking like Terry McAuliffe’s campaign against a certain person named ‘Trump’ has very much helped Glenn Youngkin. All McAuliffe did was talk Trump, Trump, Trump and he lost! What does that tell you, Fake News? I guess people running for office as Democrats won’t be doing that too much longer. I didn’t even have to go rally for Youngkin, because McAuliffe did it for me. Thank you to the MAGA voters for turning out big!”

Trump praised his voter base for coming out for Youngkin in another Save America PAC statement:

“I would like to thank my BASE for coming out in force and voting for Glenn Youngkin. Without you, he would not have been close to winning. The MAGA movement is bigger and stronger than ever before. Glenn will be a great governor. Thank you to the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia and most particularly, to our incredible MAGA voters!”

Donald Trump Jr. declared Youngkin’s victory a slam on President Joe Biden, tweeting:

“When Biden wakes up tomorrow afternoon, somebody’s gonna have to tell him he’s now officially presiding over the collapse of the Democrat party”

The bruising campaign centered on issues including Youngkin’s ties to Donald Trump, the future of abortion rights, and culture war battles over schools. But voters saw the economy as the top issue, followed by the coronavirus pandemic, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of statewide voters.

Some 34% of Virginia voters ranked the economy as their No. 1 priority, compared to 17% saying COVID-19 and 14% choosing education. Those issues outranked health care, climate change, racism and abortion in the survey.

So, what does Youngkin’s victory mean?

Simple.

It means that 10 months in to the Biden-Harris Administration, average Americans are fed up.

It also means that Democrats have, once again, overestimated the popularity of their failed Marxist Political Ideology and, most importantly, their own intelligence.

America has always, at least between the coasts here in the Heartland, been a nation of  Traditional faith and Values…and individual freedom.

The freedom to worship, live our daily lives, and raise our children and grandchildren as WE see fit.

As shown by the fight against the teaching of Critical Race Theory in not just Virginia but other states across the nation, the overwhelming majority of Americans do not want anti-American Marxism being taught to our children.

We also believe in control over our own bodies.

Last night’s election result was a rejection of the Democrats and their Cradle-to-Grave Government intrusion into our daily lives.

The Democrats went hog wild after they succeeded in getting an incompetent demented old fool installed as the President of the United States of America.

They believed that they had it made and they could do anything that they wanted to including teaching racism in our public schools.

They did not count on something much more powerful than they could ever hope to be: LOVE.

A mother and father’s love for their children caused the Democrats’ downfall last night.

Virginia’s parents showed up to local School Board Meetings and, most importantly, on Election Day.

Yes, gentle readers, LOVE  won the Virginia Gubernatorial Election.

LOVE ALWAYS WINS.

THANK GOD!

The Phrase “Critical Race Theory” Found on Virginia Dept of Ed Website Despite McAuliffe’s Repeated Claims That It is Not Taught There

McAuliffe CRT

Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs, and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks, and school curricula. – Christopher Rufo, “Critical Race Theory: What It Is and How to Fight It”, imprimus.hillsdale.edu

FoxNews.com reports that

The phrase “Critical Race Theory” appears on the Virginia Department of Education website despite Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s repeated claims the curriculum is not taught in Virginia.

On the Virginia Department of Education website, several examples of the department promoting Critical Race Theory can be found, including a presentation from 2015, when Terry McAullife was governor, that encourages teachers to “embrace Critical Race Theory” in “order to re-engineer attitudes and belief systems.”

Additionally, superintendent memo 050-19 can be found on the site from February 2019 promoting both Critical Race Theory and the idea of “white fragility.”

Also in 2019, under Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane sent a memo to Virginia public schools endorsing “Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education,” as an important “tool” that can “further spur developments in education.”

City Journal’s Christopher Rufo detailed the revelations in a Twitter thread Saturday taking issues with McAuliffe’s claims that Critical Race Theory is a “racist dog whistle” that has “never been taught in Virginia.”

Rufo also posted screenshots from the department’s website citing Critical Race Theory in Education” as a “best practice.”

“It’s not taught in Virginia and it’s never been taught in Virginia,” McAuliffe said earlier this month about the controversial curriculum which teaches that the United States is fundamentally racist. “And as I’ve said this a lot, it’s a dog whistle. It’s racial, it’s division and it’s used by Glenn Youngkin and others, it’s the same thing with Trump and the border wall, to divide people. We should not be dividing people in school.”

The McAuliffe campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the presence of Critical Race Theory in Virginia public schools.

Additionally, the Virginia Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This week, the Virginia Department of Education drew criticism for promoting a book telling teachers they “must embrace theories such as critical race theory.”

In June, officials in Loudoun County, Virginia education officials acknowledged that Critical Race Theory influences their work and in July it was revealed that a Virginia school district spent over $30,000 on Critical Race Theory training for administrators.

Education has been a major focal point of the gubernatorial race between McAuliffe and his GOP opponent businessman Glenn Youngkin who has drastically narrowed and even erased McAuliffe’s lead in some polls and a recent Fox News poll shows that a strong majority of parents support Youngkin.

Voters will decide between McAuliffe and Youngkin on Tuesday, November 2.

Christopher Rufo, in the article from which I quoted at the beginning of today’s post, explains that

There are a series of euphemisms deployed by its supporters to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.” Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality. But the distinction is vast and important. Indeed, equality—the principle proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, defended in the Civil War, and codified into law with the 14th and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—is explicitly rejected by critical race theorists. To them, equality represents “mere nondiscrimination” and provides “camouflage” for white supremacy, patriarchy, and oppression.

In contrast to equality, equity as defined and promoted by critical race theorists is little more than reformulated Marxism.

So, Former Virginia Governor and member of the Democrat Elite lies like a rug.

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

The Democrats are attempting to create a generation of Marxist-loving, anti-American, Useful Idiot “New Bolsheviks” through the use of Racial Division and Revisionist History.

However, the United States of America remains the country that everyone wants to come to, legally or otherwise.

Why? 

Because for almost 250 years, this “Shining City Upon a Hill” has had a reputation as a land in which everyone could make their dreams a reality…if they were willing to work to achieve it.

Our economic system of capitalism has been the cause of millions of Americans achieving their dreams and providing for their families.

America is a country chiseled out of the wilderness by rugged individualists who wanted not only the freedom to prosper…but the freedom to worship as they pleased also.

America is a “Sweet Land of Liberty”.

And, Liberty is Freedom with responsibility.

The responsibility to provide for yourself and your family…and to protect our precious liberty if our country goes to war.

Far Left Democrats like McAuliffe could care less about the sacrifices made and the lives lost to secure the Sovereign Nation which is today’s America.

Why?

Because they themselves are a bunch of “useful idiots” who want desperately to “share the wealth” and insult patriotism by calling it “nationalism” and “bigoted White Supremacy” in order to “radically change” our proven economic system of capitalism into “Democratic Socialism”, a form of Marxism, a political theory which has never worked in any country in which it has been tried. 

For several generations, Democrats have told the impoverished that “Uncle Sugar” will take care of their every need as long as they keep voting them into public office.

However, these same impoverished Americans found out during the Presidency of Donald J. Trump the rewards of a good job and hard work.

Boys and girls, the reason that the Biden Administration, Terry McAuliffe, and the rest of the Far Left Democrats do not want Americans to be proud of America and our actual shared history that it reminds Americans of every good and just quality that this nation was founded upon and which has kept us strong for almost 250 years.

It fills us with pride and gratitude that we live in the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth.

Everything that the Far Left Democrats despise.

The Leader of the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin, who brought Marxism to Russia, wrote

“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.”

However, Lady Margaret Thatcher, a close friend of President Ronald Reagan, laid that falsehood to rest with the following quote…

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

And, you know what?

I would much rather live in “the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” than under a failed political system where you can not even buy a decent roll of toilet paper.

Biden Caught Violating D.C. Indoor Mask Mandate in Ritzy Restaurant…Can You Say “Hypocrite”?

 

Maskless Biden

https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1449897897571536897?s=20

FoxNews.com reports that

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden were caught violating Washington, D.C.’s indoor mask mandate by walking through a high-end Georgetown restaurant without masks on Saturday.

The maskless Bidens were recorded leaving Fiola Mare while flanked by masked Secret Service agents.

The two dined at the Michelin-starred Italian seafood restaurant on the Potomac River after attending a service at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown, according to The Daily Mail.

Washington, D.C’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser reinstated an indoor mask mandate in July amid the surge of the delta variant. The Bidens also violated Fiola Mare’s mask policy, which mirrors the city’s.

“Per CDC guidance and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s executive order, all individuals over age 2 are required to wear a mask indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Masks must be always worn while in our restaurants, except while eating and drinking. Thank you for understanding,” the restaurant’s website says.

Fiola Mare did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment in time for publication.

Establishments that fail to enforce Bowser’s executive order face potential warnings, fines and the revocation of licenses, though the order also notes: “The enforcement provisions of this Order shall not be applied to persons in the federal government or legislative branch of the District government while those persons are on duty.”

The Bidens’ behavior echoed that of Bowser, who has repeatedly been photographed flouting her own mask mandates.

Hours before her indoor mask mandate went into effect in July, Bowser was photographed without a face mask during her own birthday celebration with comedian Dave Chappelle.

Hours after her indoor mask mandate went into effect, she was photographed without a mask during an indoor wedding reception.

Bowser sparked backlash again in September when she tweeted a picture of herself with a group of women at an indoor Jack and Jill summit without a mask.

Actually, this is not at all shocking.

The Democrat Elite, including President Joe and “Dr.” Jill Biden, have believed themselves to be the next coming of the French Aristocracy for some time now.

I mean, look at the clucking hens on Daytime Time Shows like “The View” and “The Talk” telling “common” Americans how they should do everything that the Democrats in the Federal Government tell us to do.

And yet, even some of them are beginning to wake up…those whom the Far Left Fascists haven’t scared witless, yet.

Just like the Communists ruling the Soviet Union lived “high on the hog” while the Proletariat (Working Class) struggled, so do today’s Far Left Democrats enjoy their life of luxury while attempting to instill fear in the hearts of average Americans in order to maintain control over a populace who is beginning to wake up to their plan to radically change America into a Democratic Socialist (Communist) country.

The door-to-door “Vaccine Brown Shirts” and the threats of Mandates and lockdowns are, again, a means to control average Americans.

By the way, is it just me…or have you noticed that the “Delta Variant Surge” has been cranking up just in time to interfere with the Midterm Elections?

My wife and I both got COVID-19 earlier this year and were severely sick for a month.

On the advice of our doctors, two well-respected men in the field of Internal Medicine, we took the vaccine.

But…IT WAS OUR DECISION.

Not the Biden Administration’s or any of the Dancing Monkeys’ in Hollyweird.

The Bidens have exposed themselves as being hypocrites of the highest order.

If his own “Mask Mandates” do not apply to him…why should they apply to US?

The Democrats’ attempt to turn this nation into a Marxist Aristocracy is going to fall flat on its face.

Americans have had enough.

#EmptyShelvesJoe Blamed the 2020 COVID-19 Food Shortages on Trump, Now He’s Blaming Everyone But Himself

Cargo Ships

FoxNews.com reports that

President Joe Biden is being slammed on social media for clips circulating online from the 2020 campaign trail in which he blamed food shortages on failed leadership from then-President Donald Trump.

“We don’t have a food shortage problem — we have a leadership problem,” then-candidate Biden said in May of 2020 during a virtual town hall while blaming Trump for food shortages during the coronavirus lockdowns.

“We have plenty of food,” Biden added. “It’s being plowed under. You’ve got– you’re euthanizing cattle and pigs. They’re out there making sure that they’re pouring thousands of gallons of milk into the ground. It’s not a food shortage. It’s a lack of leadership– a lack of leadership.”

Biden added that if he were president at the time he would have “ordered the government to buy food from farmers and send it to food banks” and that Trump “failed to step up” by not doing that.

“I’d harness the restaurant industry to help get food to those who need it and help get millions of laid off workers back to work and the job…this is not rocket science. It’s leadership.”

Social media users have criticized Biden over the resurfaced remarks as inflation surged its highest in 13 while food prices for basic commodities soared and bare shelves have become more and more prevalent.

“Who knew Joe Biden could predict in 2020 what would happen in 2021?” one Twitter user wrote while another sarcastically posted, “This aged well.”

The Twitter hashtag #EmptyShelvesJoe was trending on Twitter Thursday as supply chain issues have forced the Biden administration to admit that it “cannot guarantee” Americans will receive their Christmas packages on time.

“Just went food shopping…again…thanks #EmptyShelvesJoe I really love having to go every day now in order to find what used to take one trip,” one Twitter user wrote along with the hashtag and a photo of near-empty shelves at a grocery store.

Supply chain disruptions have hindered efforts to bolster the U.S. economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key raw materials needed for construction and components such as semiconductors are in short supply, while a labor shortage has contributed to a shipping logjam at major ports.

Several major companies have noted higher logistics-related costs and disruptions to their normal operations. The issues have also impacted consumers in the form of empty shelves and higher prices, prompting fears that lower spending will slow the economic recovery.

Food prices jumped 0.9% last month and are now up 4.6% annually, according to the index. The price for meats, poultry, fish and eggs soared 10.5% this year, with beef prices climbing a whopping 17.6%. Fruits and vegetables rose by 3%.

For Americans earning the median annual income of about $70,000, inflation has forced them to spend an extra $175 a month on food, gas and housing, the New York Post reported last week, citing Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the supply chain “challenges” were “inevitable.”

Well, Fellow Americans, how do you like “Democratic Socialism”, so far?

Sucks, doesn’t it?

And this, unfortunately, is just the beginning.

The Biden Administration is the Carter Administration on steroids.

While President Carter was overwhelmed and in way over his head, President, Biden and his handlers are allowing America to go to Hell in a hand-basket on purpose.

Jen Psaki has already admitted that Biden wants to change America’s Economy.

Just like his Former (and possibly present) Boss, Barack Hussein Obama, Biden wants to “radically change” our Constitutional Republic.

Just as the world saw in the case of the destruction of Venezuela, when Marxist Totalitarians take over a country, the Middle Class is economically destroyed.

Right now, Americans are looking at ever-increasing gas prices, rampant inflation, and people leaving the Workforce because they believe that Uncle Sugar will take care of them.

The Supply Chain Flotilla off of our coasts is a direct result of #EmptyShelvesBiden and the Democrat Elites’ Economic Plan to force Americans into servitude to Federal Government from cradle to grave.

The difference between the shortages that Americans are seeing in our grocery stores now and what they saw during the COVID-19 Pandemic, is that in 2020, the shortages were brought about by a panicking population.

What we are seeing now is coming straight from Washington, D.C.

Civil Rights Activist Bob Woodson on CRT: “King…Would Be Called Out and Targeted For Anti-Bias Reeducation”…Whatever Happened to “The Golden Rule”?

Critical Race Theory Brainwashing

“In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you.” – Matthew 7:12.

Here is an Op Ed which Black Civil Rights Activist Bob Woodson wrote last March for FoxNews.com.

I realize that it is lengthy but I promise that it is worth reading.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a just and equitable America, in which citizens treated each other as persons rather than as carriers of an indelible racial imprint.

Today, the progressive left has bet against King’s vision: we are not persons, we are our racial identities, and anyone who rejects that view is guilty of racism.

King himself would be called out and targeted for “anti-bias” reeducation if he were alive today.

The Civil Rights Movement of which I was proudly a part has been betrayed by a twisted progressive ideology that hyper-racializes our country.

It divides our country into two groups: on the one side, blacks and other minorities who are permanent and powerless victims; and on the other irredeemable white supremacists, bent on their destruction. Instead of helping to create a society in which all have an equal opportunity to thrive, it insists that systemic racism prevents anyone except “privileged” whites from succeeding.

This sea of helpless victims must depend on whites cleansing themselves of racism, on more government programs, or on both. The left has today weaponized race not for the purpose of healing wounds but for gaining power.

We see this same pattern of weaponizing race emerging throughout our elite institutions. From Hollywood to major corporations and government agencies, unfounded and often life-altering allegations of racism from the relatively privileged get more attention than the myriad of challenges facing low-income and working-class Americans of every race. But nowhere is this widespread perversion of the Civil Rights Movement more obvious than on college campuses—most recently at Smith College in Massachusetts.

In 2018, a young Black student at the elite all-women’s college was approached by a white janitor and a white campus security officer who asked why she was eating by herself in a dormitory that had been closed to students for the summer.

The student, in her own words, had a “meltdown”—which she chose to share on social media—convinced that she had been targeted for removal because she was Black and that her life was in danger.

Smith College acted swiftly, apologizing to the student, initiating legal mediation with her, putting the janitor on administrative leave, and instituting sweeping “anti-racist” training for all staff.

It turned out, however, that the student had completely misinterpreted the interaction. No students of any race were permitted in that area, which was reserved for a children’s camp and thus closely monitored for unauthorized personnel.

An independent outside investigation found that neither the custodian nor the security officer acted out of racial bias or treated her unfairly. Both employees had followed college policy to the letter, and the security officer had not been armed.

Unfortunately, by the time the facts came out, the damage was done. Several service workers—many of whom had worked at the college for decades—had been publicly branded as racists and the entire staff had been forced to participate in “anti-bias” training that demanded the workers answer psychologically invasive questions about their childhoods and other personal experiences.

Ultimately, the college’s “anti-racist” programs became so emotionally distressing that one of them resigned in frustration.

In many towns across America, getting a service job at a local college can be an answer to prayer. Where factories and other employers have left, universities remain a place where someone without an elite education can get a reliable job with full-time hours and benefits.

When I sent my own children to college, I admonished them to greet the people who prepared their meals and cleaned their buildings, to learn their names and get to know them.

I taught them that attending college placed them in an extremely privileged position and that they must always remember to treat all those who served them with respect and appreciation. And like nearly all parents in my generation, I tried to teach my children to give others the benefit of the doubt.

1619 Project Writer Nikole Hanna-Jones Praises Cuba as “The Most Equal Country in the Western Hemisphere”…Yeah, Everybody’s Poor

 

"Cuba actually has the least inequality. And that's largely due to socialism—which I'm sure no one wants to hear," 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones told Ezra Klein.

https://twitter.com/SebGorka/status/1414903298977681408?s=20

FoxNews.com reports that

1619 Project writer Nikole Hannah-Jones said in a podcast that she believes Cuba is the most equal country in the Western hemisphere and could serve as a model for its integration agenda.

In a 2019 podcast with Ezra Klein of Vox and The New York Times, Hannah-Jones was asked whether there were candidates or places that she thought had a “viable and sufficiently ambitious integration agenda.”

Hannah-Jones responded that while she is not an expert on race relations internationally, she believed the most “equal” and “multiracial” country in the Western hemisphere is Cuba, which she attributed to socialism.

“The most equal multi-racial country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba,” Hannah-Jones said, as reported by the publication. “Cuba has the least inequality between Black and white people anyplace really in the hemisphere. I mean, the Caribbean, most of the Caribbean it’s hard to count because the White population in a lot of those countries is very, very small. A lot of those countries are run by Black folks. But in places that are truly at least biracial countries, Cuba actually has the least inequality. And that’s largely due to socialism—which I’m sure no one wants to hear.”

As reported by The National Pulse, Hannah-Jones also wrote an op-ed published by The Oregonian that was posted in 2008, in which she noted that there are many overlooked accomplishments in the country, including a very high literacy rate, a low HIV infection rate and a “model” universal health care system.

In the article, she also wrote that the Cuban revolution led to the “end of codified racism” and brought about universal education and access to jobs for Black Cubans.

The 1619 Project is a project spearheaded by The New York Times that delves into the effects of slavery on U.S. history. It was led by Hannah-Jones, who is a Pulitzer Prize winning writer and a professor at Howard University.

As previously reported by Fox News, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has come under fire for recent comments she has made about Cuba.

Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter that the U.S. has contributed to suffering in Cuba via its embargo, which she characterized as “absurdly cruel.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., who is the daughter of a Cuban immigrant, called Ocasio-Cortez a “communist sympathizer who wants to bring socialism” to the U.S. during an interview with “Fox News Sunday.”

The Far Left Democratic Party, which is full of “Useful Idiots” like Nikole Hanna-Jones and AOC,  is determined to not only rewrite American History but also to indoctrinate our children and grandchildren to hate America and our Traditional System of Faith, Values, and Patriotism.

Why is it wrong to be a Proud American?

Nationalism, placing the well-being of Americans Citizens first, is a good thing and is what being a President should be all about.

The Far Left-controlled Biden-Harris Administration, the Democratic Party and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, look down their noses at us average Americans living here in “Flyover Country” who believe that America is the greatest country on the face of God’s Green Earth and believing in American Exceptionalism.

Since the 8 years of the reign of King Barack The First, children and young adults, attending American Institutes of Learning from kindergarten to college campuses have been taught by Liberal teachers and professors that America was “just another country” and to be a patriot or to believe in “Nationalism” was to somehow be close-minded, ignorant, and bigoted, not necessarily in that order.

And now, these same clowns want to continue teaching Revisionist History to our children and grandchildren while asserting that “educated people” believe that those of us who agree with Former President Trump’s optimism and “Nationalism” and those who disagree with their anti-American beliefs are  “racist” and “uneducated”.

They really need to visit America’s heartland, where all of us average and EDUCATED Americans live.

Believe of not, y’all, there are actually colleges and universities in “Flyover Country”.

In fact, where the exceptionalism of America actually lies is not in the Halls of Power nor in the Halls of Academia. But, rather in the courage and spirit of the average American. A courage and spirit, which our history proves, has driven American Citizens to build a nation, which is indeed exceptional among all others.

The secret of this country’s exceptionalism is the “Average Joe”, the 9 to 5′er, working himself into the grave to try to provide for his family.

It was this same “Average Joe”, who fired the shot heard around the world and began the War for American Independence, who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day in World War II, who waded through rice paddies in Vietnam, and who swallowed sand in Desert Storm and Desert Shield. The same “Average Joe” who, as a New York City Policeman or Fireman, ran up the stairs of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, instead of running down them. The same “Average Joe”, who simply wants things to be easier in this life for his children and grandchildren, than he had it.

It is this same “Average Joe”, who takes family and friends in, when they are in the midst of a life-altering tragedy. The same “Average Joe”, who volunteers on a soup line or at a Senior Citizens Home, or, who begins a successful business in his basement.

And, it is this same “Average Joe” who, being fed up with the Democratic Party’s Far Left Crusade against anything and everything traditionally American, went to the voting booth and elected Donald J. Trump, a Citizen Statesman, as our 45th President.

And, we are the same ones who believe that there is no way in H-E-L-L that dementia-riddled doddering fool Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential Election with out a massive case of Election Fraud.

And that, boys and girls, is why the Far Left Democratic Party and Joe Biden’s Handlers built a fence around OUR Capitol and are governing like a bunch of fascist dictators..

Their ego-driven political ideology does not permit them to consider the reality that theirs is still the minority political ideology in this nation.

While the East and “Left” Coast are indeed heavily populated in their metropolitan areas with Liberals (some of them even Legal Citizens), the reality is that the overwhelming majority of Americans are still Patriots who believe in God and Country.

It was an overestimation of their own intellect and an underestimation of the intelligence and unbridled love of average Americans for OUR COUNTRY, that cost the Democrats the Presidency in 2016.

And, stupid moves like attempting to teach our children and grandchildren that America is a “Racist Country” and the Totalitarian Communist Regime in Cuba is a brilliant example of government is going to blow up in their weasel-looking faces and cost them the next two national elections in 2022 and 2024.

As George Orwell said,

Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.

Patriotism is still cool…and “Useful Idiots” like Nikole Hanna-Jones and the  rest of the Far Left Marxism-Loving Democrats are clueless.

Trump on Cuba Protests: “Joe Biden Must Stand Up to the Communist Regime or…History Will Remember”

A anti-government protesters march in the streets in Havana, Cuba

Newsmax.com reports that

Backing the protesters calling for liberation from communism in Cuba, former President Donald Trump issued a reminder of the Biden administration’s reversing his Cuban policies and calling on President Joe Biden to stand up against communism.

“I stand with the Cuban people 100% in their fight for freedom,” Trump wrote in a statement from his Save America PAC on Monday afternoon. “The government must let them speak and be free!

“Joe Biden MUST stand up to the communist regime or — history will remember. The Cuban people deserve freedom and human rights! THEY ARE NOT AFRAID!”

Trump noted the protests abruptly stopped in Cuba, remarking on the oppressive regime’s silencing of freedoms and speech – much like he has denounced from Big Tech and the liberal mainstream media in America.

“Big demonstrations are breaking out in Cuba and Miami in protest of the Communist Cuban Government (although, today there are zero protesters in Cuba — you know what that means!),” Trump’s statement began.

Trump also rebuked Biden’s reversing his administration’s “very tough stance on Cuba,” while reminding Americans former President Barack Obama – who Biden served as a vice president – was not only soft on Cuba, but welcoming.

“Don’t forget that Biden and the Democrats campaigned on reversing my very tough stance on Cuba,” Trump’s statement continued. “Remember when Obama attended baseball games with Castros while they imprisoned, beat, and killed the Cuban people.”

Trump’s strict embargo against Cuba was imposed after he took the White House from Obama in 2017, and Diaz-Canel pointed to those for causing an energy shortage in Cuba, which triggered the uprising that saw the first mass anti-government protests in decades on the island.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel denounced the “economic asphyxiation” causing the discontent over energy shortages forcing the government to slow economic output and causing blackouts in the tropical island.

Diaz-Canel also railed against “Miami’s conservative Cuban-American mafia” for fueling the unrest as Cubans were already exhausted and living uneasy with surging COVID-19 infections on the island, according to The Associated Press.

Protesters looted and flipped a police car, according to the president, scenes similar to the anti-China protests in Hong Kong more than a year ago and the social injustice unrest in America led by Black Lives Matter and Antifa activists after the death of George Floyd.

Do you remember how Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) eulogized Cuba’s Communist Dictator, Fidel Castro?

At this time of Fidel Castro’s passing, we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people. We know that this moment fills Cubans – in Cuba and in the United States – with powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation. History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him. For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political disagreements. During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends – bonds of family, culture, commerce, and common humanity. This engagement includes the contributions of Cuban Americans, who have done so much for our country and who care deeply about their loved ones in Cuba.

Today, we offer condolences to Fidel Castro’s family, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Cuban people.

I am certain that the “most refined” among us, “the smartest people in the room” as they refer to themselves, the Modern American Liberals, including the Former Chief Marxist/Alinsky-ite himself, Barack Hussein Obama, and the Administration of his Former Vice-President, #DementiaJoe, are aghast at the protesters calling for the end of the Cuba’s “perfect form of government”(Marxism) which they are trying to install in our Sovereign Nation.

Why do Modern American Liberals admire those leaders and societies, like the government of Communist Cuba, the leaders of whom would take away their individual freedom, at best, and gut them like a Thanksgiving Turkey, at worst?

How could they be so naïve as to view he poverty-stricken Communist country as being a “Socialist Utopia”, which they have dreamt of and which they are trying their best to turn America into, you ask?

Didn’t you know? Being a Marxist is cool.

Just ask the Liberal American Millennials walking around with their Che Guevara t-shirts on.

They remember Che differently than the Cuban Exiles in Miami, who came here seeking freedom from tyranny do.

If these members of the “Young and Dumb” had actually read a book, they would burn those stupid t-shirts.

Cuban children are taught in state-run schools that Che was a doctor, even though he had no medical degree.

They are taught that he was a kind soul who cared for the poor and the oppressed, and a brave guerrilla leader who helped to liberate the downtrodden Cuban People from the oppressive tyrant Batista.

And, Jack the Ripper was a surgeon who made House Calls.

Humberto Fontova’s “Exposing the Real Che Guevara” paints a vivid picture of the real Che Guevara:

In his biography of Che, Fontova quotes a Cuban exile who is identified by the pseudonym of “Charlie Bravo”

I’d loved to have seen those Sorbonne and Berkeley and Berlin student protesters with their ‘groovy’ Che posters try their ‘anti-authority’ grandstanding in Cuba at the time. I’d love to have seen Che and his goons get their hands on them. They’d have gotten a quick lesson about the ‘fascism’ they were constantly complaining about—and firsthand. They would have quickly found themselves sweating and gasping from forced labor in Castro’s and Che’s concentration camps, or jabbed in the butt by ‘groovy’ bayonets when they dared slow down and perhaps getting their teeth shattered by a ‘groovy’ machine-gun butt if they adopted the same attitude in front of Che’s militia as they adopted in front of those campus cops.

In the instruction to that book, Fontova writes that,

If Cuban Americans strike you as too passionate, over the top, even a little crazy, there is a reason. Practically every day, we turn on our televisions or go out to the street only to see the image of the very man who trained the secret police to murder our relatives—thousands of men, women, and boys. This man committed many of these murders with his own hands. And yet we see him celebrated everywhere as the quintessence of humanity, progress, and compassion.

So, while President Obama and his family were jetting to Cuba, on Air Force One, on the American Taxpayer’s dime, celebrating the “Progressive Freedom” that only Marxism can bring (that’s sarcasm, boys and girls), America’s Che Worshippers were back home, wearing their Che T-shirts, brandishing posters proclaiming American Businessman, Entrepreneur, and then-Leading Republican Primary Candidate Donald J. Trump a “fascist”, and a modern “Hitler”, while blocking roads, jumping on people’s cars, and marching lockstep on the streets of New York City, in scenes reminiscent of the Cuban Revolution.

And, that same Astroturf  “Resistance” Movement continues today.

Only now, it is the “Woke” Movement.

United States President Ronald Reagan once said,

How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

What we are witnessing among the Far Left Power Brokers, and their “Young and Dumb Foot Soldiers”, is a purposeful obtuseness, as to our Constitutional Rights to arm ourselves and vote for whom we please and the harsh reality of Marxism or “spreading the wealth”.

History repeats itself.

Irony is embarrassed.

As Democrats Continue to Try to Defund The Police, Biden Insists That “Crime Prevention” Equals Gun Control…Totalitarianism, Anyone?

FoxNews.com reports that

President Biden in remarks Wednesday said his crime prevention strategy would focus on strengthening background checks, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and boosting community policing.

Biden met with state and local leaders and law enforcement officials ahead of his remarks to talk crime prevention strategy, amid a surge in violence in cities across the U.S.

Both Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, who spoke before him, pointed to a historic rise in crime in the summertime, and said that rise “may be more pronounced” as the nation comes out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The White House has insisted curbing gun violence is key to tamping down a “staggering” surge of crime across the U.S.

“Talk to most responsible gun owners they’ll tell you there’s no possible justification for having 100 rounds in a magazine,” Biden said.

Biden also took aim at an argument used by Second Amendment advocates, that the right to self-defense needed to protect against potential government tyranny.

“Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government,” Biden said. “If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”

“We’re not changing the Constitution. We’re enforcing it,” the president continued.
Biden touted “zero tolerance” for gun dealers who willfully violate the law, and claimed that 90% of illegal guns found at crime scenes were traced back to 5% of gun dealers.

The “zero-tolerance” policy targets federally licensed firearms dealers who “willfully” transfer a weapon to someone prohibited from owning one or ignore a tracing request from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF would seek to revoke the dealer’s license after the first offense, a senior White House official said.

“If you willfully sell a gun to someone who’s prohibited from possessing it, if you willfully fail to run a background check, if you willfully falsify a record … my message to you is this: We’ll find you and we will seek your license to sell guns,” Biden said.

The National Rifle Association said the Biden initiative was an attempt to distract from the true causes of a rise in crime.

“This is a political red herring aimed at hiding the real and abysmal failures of the Biden administration,” NRS spokeswoman Amy Hunter told Fox News. “Crime rates are high because of the efforts to defund the police and a failure to prosecute career criminals. The simple fact is strict enforcement of existing laws – including gun laws – coupled with support of law enforcement and prosecutors to do their jobs would result in a dramatic decrease in crime. But, the president would rather play politics than make Americans safer.”

Biden also boasted of “historic funding for crime prevention” in the $350 billion for state and local governments, from the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, that can be used by cities to hire law enforcement officers, pay overtime, prosecute gun traffickers and invest in technology to make law enforcement more efficient. Officials said the Biden administration hoped cities would choose to use the money for alternatives to policing, too, and to invest in community policing models.

The administration has also taken aim at “ghost guns” and modified firearms, which are homemade firearms without serial numbers that can be used to trace them, making it difficult for law enforcement to determine where, by whom, or when they were manufactured and to whom they were sold.

The Justice Department’s ATF last month sought to update the legal definition of “firearm” in an effort to crack down on ghost guns.

Biden also pushed hiring programs to keep young people busy and off the streets during the summer months, as they’re often both the target and perpetrators of such violence. Biden said such programs encouraged youth to “pick up a paycheck instead of a pistol.”

The president said the DOJ has created five new “strike forces” to crack down on illegal gun trafficking cartels and called on the Senate to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, thereby closing the “boyfriend loophole” to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.

During the Democratic Primary Candidates Debates last year, Candidate Joe Biden said,

“150 million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie (Sanders) voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability, more than all the wars, including Vietnam from that point on.”

The heavily inflated figure misrepresented gun deaths in America since 2007. From 2007 to 2017, the number of firearm deaths in the U.S. was 373,663. This number includes both violent firearm deaths and unintentional or accidental deaths, according to the Center for American Progress, an organization that promotes progressive values.

More in line with Biden’s figures, an analysis of FBI statistics by the Center found that from 2008 through 2017, more than 1.5 million aggravated assaults involved a firearm, with rates varying significantly across the states.

“If I’m elected, NRA [the National Rifle Association], I’m coming for you and gun manufacturers, I’m gonna take you on and I’m gonna beat you,” Biden said.

For years, Democrat politicians like the Dummy From Delaware have been on a crusade to pass stricter and stricter gun control laws, literally foaming at the mouth to take the right to own guns, guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, away from average law-abiding Americans.

I have always wondered why they have never attempted to get tough with those who break our laws by committing gun violence, instead of trying to take away our Constitutional Right to be able to defend ourselves.

Was it just naiveté on the part of Democrats …or something else?

And then…the Democrats built a wall around our nation’s Capitol.

And, I wondered no more.

Today’s Democrat Elite have allowed their own arrogance to blossom into totalitarianism.

Their zeal to radically change our Constitutional Republic into just another Democratic Socialist failure of a country, like those in Europe and South America, has led them to no longer wish to hear any other political opinions except their own.

The Democrats, led by the Biden-Harris Administration, through their push for continued lockdowns, expanded “Unemployment” payments, flooding our Southern Border with illegal aliens, and now, attempting to abridge our Second Amendment Rights, are employing a political strategy designed to turn America into a country whose people have restricted liberty given to them by an all-powerful Central Government, instead of by “Our Creator”.

Sound familiar?

Sure, Sleepy Joe told us yesterday that he and his fellow totalitarians are “not changing the Constitution”…”they’re enforcing it”, meaning that their going after our guns is not an abridgement of our Second Amendment Rights.

And, Germany’s National Socialist Party told the European Jews that they were simply going to be “relocated”.

The name of the game, boys and girls, is ‘CONTROL”.

Give the Democrats an inch and they will take a mile.

Those who have come before us did not give up their lives on the field of battle while preserving our liberty for us to willingly give it away to a demented doddering old fool who cannot even read a teleprompter correctly.

 Those whom we have elected to represent us in Washington MUST fight for our American Freedoms.

Or, we need to boot them out and replace them with those who will.
