(Zero Hedge) - If you’re looking for proof positive that Larry Elder is making progress toward winning California’s recall election, look no further than the LA Times.
The paper published a column on Friday claiming that longtime conservative, Fox News contributor and syndicated talk radio host Elder “is the Black face of white supremacy”.
Columnist Erika D. Smith wrote: “Few things infuriate me more than watching a Black person use willful blindness and cherry-picked facts to make overly simplistic arguments that whitewash the complex problems that come along with being Black in America.”
Melina Abdullah, cofounder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, even chimed in: “He is a danger, a clear and present danger.”
Abdullah continued: “Anytime you put a Black face on white supremacy, which is what Larry Elder is, there are people who will utilize that as an opportunity to deny white supremacy. They say, ‘How could this be white supremacy? This is a Black man.’ But everything that he’s pushing, everything that he stands for, he is advancing white supremacy.”
The corrupt media will spin it that an African American is now President. Far from it. She is Indian-American of a family who owned Blacks as slaves. But the Sheeple will suck down any lie the talking heads vomit out.
(WND) Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon believes America should prepare for a transition to a President Harris.
Bannon was speaking with the author of the book "Biden Unauthorized," Mike McCormick, on his "War Room" video podcast, reported Conservative Brief.
Bannon pointed to a photo of Biden on the cover of McCormick's book that was taken some years ago, showing a glint in the eyes of the longtime senator and former vice president.
His "eyes are now dead," Bannon said of Biden, noting Harris has a much greater role than previous vice presidents, including meeting with foreign leaders.
"Kamala Harris is printed up in playbooks, always there for these meetings," Bannon said. "Pence was never that. That's not the role of the vice president."
Former Secret Service member Dan Bongino, in a recent interview with Sean Hannity, said he was "hearing from people close to the situation that Biden’s cognitive decline is rapidly worsening and is becoming increasingly difficult to mask."
"The Democrats are going to have to make a decision soon," he said.
Democrats already have moved in Congress to restrict Biden's authority to launch a nuclear strike as well as presidential war powers.
Black Republican Rep. Mia Love trashes as "anti-minority" the very GOP that got her elected to Congress in the first place.
She also ripped into The Donald. Sorry Mia but any other Republican would have lost the White House in a landslide. Trump cares about Blue Collar and Rust Belt Americans.
The standard open borders GOP platform is to ship as many factories as possible to China and Mexico to fatten Wall Street profits at the expense of American workers.
Republican Rep. Mia Love sharply criticized President Donald Trump during a concession speech on Monday, saying Trump's vision of the world is "no real relationships, just convenient transactions."
In her concession speech Monday, Love hit back at the president for his comments about her immediately following Election Day. In a press conference, Trump blasted a number of Republican lawmakers, including Love, for not embracing him closely enough and losing their races.
"Mia Love. I saw Mia Love, and she would call me all the time to help her with a hostage situation, being held hostage in Venezuela," Trump said on Nov. 7, in reference to Josh Holt, a Utahn who was imprisoned in Venezuela without trial for nearly two years. "But Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia." Love then tore into Republicans for their treatment of minority voters before vigorously defending conservative policies as more beneficial to all Americans. "Because Republicans never take minority communities into their home and citizens into their home and into their hearts, they stay with Democrats and bureaucrats in Washington because they do take them home or at least make them feel like they have a home," Love said. "I've seen the cost of conservatives for not truly taking people into their hearts."
(The Gateway Pundit) - CNN invited Tom Arnold, Roseanne Barr’s ex-husband and former writer on the sitcom “Roseanne,” on to discuss the obscene tweets hurled at Valerie Jarret this week.
Apparently CNN thought Arnold was an expert on “tweeting obcenities” to women.
Tom Arnold told CNN he could see it coming.
CNN was right.
Arnold is an expert on hurling insults at black women.
In fact he recently told Candace Owens to “suck racist d**k.”
Candace Owens tweeted out this reminder to CNN today. Genius.
(Washington Examiner) - Several members of the Congressional Black Caucus are speaking with Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., a founding member of the group, about resigning in an effort to salvage his legacy after sexual misconduct allegations, according to a report Tuesday.
“There is a feeling among some of our members that we need to protect his legacy," one Democratic staffer told CNN.
The members of the caucus who are pushing for Conyers' resignation were not named in the report.
Conyers, who has been in the House of Representatives for over 50 years, was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and a leader in the civil rights movement. Conyers is now the longest-serving active member of the House and has so far resisted pressure to resign and denies any wrongdoing, though he stepped down as the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee over the weekend.
However, members of the caucus are working to ease his exit and protect his legacy before things get worse for the lawmaker after allegations of sexual misconduct from his former staff members surfaced recently.
Sources told CNN that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tacitly supports their effort.
(Daily Caller) - Democratic Rep. John Lewis said he does not see Donald Trump as a legitimate president on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” saying a Russian “conspiracy” to help him win invalidated the result. “I believe in forgiveness, I believe in trying to work with people,” he told Chuck Todd in an interview clip published Friday, when asked whether he would “forge” a relationship with Trump. “It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be very difficult. I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president.” “I think the Russians participated in helping get this man elected,” he added. “And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. I don’t plan to attend inauguration. It will be the first one that I miss since I’ve been in the Congress. You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong.” “I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians and others to help him get elected,” Lewis added. “That’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open democratic process.”
(The Gateway Pundit) - Top Missouri Democrat State Senator Jamilah Nasheed sat during the Pledge of Allegiance Wednesday as a symbol of solidarity with cop-hater Colin Kaepernick. FOX 2 Now reported:
Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed went through with her plans to stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick – by taking a seat.
Nasheed (D-St. Louis) said she will sit down during the Pledge of Allegiance ahead of Wednesday’s veto session at the Missouri state capitol. Every legislative session usually starts with a prayer and the pledge. She sat for the pledge but stood up for the prayer.
Kaepernick, the backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, initially sat down on the bench during the Star-Spangled Banner to protest police brutality and unfair treatment of minorities by law enforcement. Kaepernick sat for the first three weeks of the preseason before opting to take a knee instead.
In 2014 during the Ferguson riots Jamilah Nasheed was cuffed and arrested in a street protest. Nasheed sat in the street and wouldn’t move.
(Washington Examiner) - Democrats are "screwing around" in an effort to keep black voters "on the plantation," Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said in a Thursday interview, after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made a direct appeal to them in a speech in the Wisconsin city earlier this month.
Clarke, a black conservative Democrat, made the comments on the same day Hillary Clinton delivered a speech accusing Trump of racism and on which the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign released a video attempting to associate Donald Trump with members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Clarke said Democrats have been reacting to the remarks Trump directed at black voters. "It was a brilliant political strategic move," Clarke said of Trump's speech. "Nobody saw that coming."
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke
"He caught the Democrats off guard," Clarke added. "They thought he was going to ignore the black vote. They just assumed that. Trust me, they're not showing it and they're not saying it, but that caused them great consternation. Now they have to go to back to some of their strongholds where the black vote is and reassure people, keep them on the plantation."
"Don't let them off the plantation," Clarke said Democrats were telling themselves. "Don't let them wander off like I did. Now they've got to spend resources in areas where they didn't think they would have to. Which is why I say it was a brilliant political move."
Clarke, who has worked in law enforcement for nearly four decades and who spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, said he advised Trump that Democratic policies had encouraged the rise of an "urban pathology" that resulted in more murders in the black community, especially among young people.
"Many good, law-abiding black people get caught in gang fights, the crossfire, and those black lives don't seem to matter," Clarke said. "I've asked myself why it is that our young black men, not all of them, but too many of them gravitate towards questionable lifestyle choices, gang involvement, drug dealing. Why is it? It's a cultural thing. That's why I call it cultural dysfunction."
(Daily Caller) - Minnesota Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison’s office is hiring interns for the fall and strongly encourages anyone who isn’t a straight, white able-bodied male to send in an application.
“The Office of Congressman Keith Ellison is looking for enthusiastic interns for our Washington and Minneapolis offices. We seek interns who are curious, hardworking, and passionate about serving Minnesota’s 5th district,” Ellis’ Congressional website states.
“While Congressman Ellison encourages all individuals to apply, applicants with strong ties to the Fifth District or Minnesota are preferred,” the page states before adding one final note: “People of color, LGBTQ individuals, women, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.”
The only people not possessing any of the “strongly encouraged” characteristics are white, straight, men without disabilities.
The note specifically requesting interns that aren’t straight, white able-bodied men appears to have been added somewhat recently.
GOP Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and The Donald
A ticket to drive Democrats insane
EDITOR - Here is a reprint of my article from September, 2015. This information is more important than ever. To win The Donald has to roll some very unconventional dice and strike deep into Democrat territory. Some 95% of African Americans vote Democrat. Pure and simple the GOP has ignored Blacks. The Donald has been reaching out to Blacks. Putting Senator Tim Scott on the ticket attacks the very core of Democrat power. Pull in even 20% of the Black vote could potentially put multiple blue states into play.
By Gary;
By any standard political timeline it is way, way too early to talk about a GOP ticket. But I have a gut feeling that the entire Republican field of candidates has imploded. The Donald has come.
The fat lady is singing, but the GOP candidates are refusing to listen.
The exciting news to me is the new SurveyUSA poll showing The Donald pulling an unheard of 25% of the African American vote in the general election.
The Trump appeal crosses a lot of supposedly solid political lines. Many Black voters see Trump as looking out for them on immigration and exporting jobs while traditional Republicans are for open borders and poverty for all American citizens. By comparison establishment Republican Mitt Romney pulled a "massive" 6% of the Black vote and McCain got 4%.
If this trend to Trump continues there is an opportunity to re-establish the old Civil War era Republican-Black alliance that died out in the 1930s.
To this end I humbly propose a 2016 ticket of Donald Trump and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.
A Trump-Scott ticket could up end the election:
The phony Democrat weapon of the Race Card is removed.
If a 25% or more Black GOP vote happens a number of states with large Black populations could go Republican: Florida (17% Black), Virginia (20% Black), Ohio (12% Black) and Pennsylvania (11% Black).
Opportunity may come knocking for the GOP. But the question of the day remains: Will Republicans embrace the American people or continue to lick the boots of the open borders Billionaire Cartels on Wall Street?
Tim Scott Speaks in Support of Full Repeal
A A Pro-Civil Rights Republican And Black Americans responded by voting for the GOP . GOP President U.S. Grant made many advances in civil and human rights. In 1869 and 1871, he signed bills promoting black voting rights and prosecuting Klan leaders. He won passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave freedmen the vote, and the Civil Rights Act of 1871, which empowered the President "to arrest and break up disguised night marauders." . In response to the renewed violent outbreaks against African Americans, Grant was the first President to sign a congressional civil rights act: the Civil Rights Act of 1875.This legislation mandated equal treatment in public accommodations and jury selection. . Former President Grant acidly remarked that the anti-labor wing of the Republicans were the same people who had resisted using federal troops “to protect the lives of negroes. Now, however, there is no hesitation about exhausting the whole power of the government to suppress a strike on the slightest intimation that danger threatens.”
A Black Republican leaders in 1875 Back in the day Republicans actually cared about African Americans and were rewarded with massive GOP majorities and Black Republican Congressmen.
Follow The Money - The Elites are frightened that The Donald might actually get control of immigration and cut off the supply of cheap labor.
(Washington Examiner) - Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Sunday that Republican party leaders prefer Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump for president.
"The establishment Republicans would prefer to see someone like Hillary Clinton than they would Donald Trump," Carson said Sunday on "The Cats Roundtable," a radio show hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York on Sunday.
After dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination Carson, a former neurosurgeon and promotional speaker, endorsed Trump, calling him a fellow outsider.
"The establishment in the Republican Party is scared out of their wits about the possibility of someone like Donald Trump," Carson said, "who they don't have control over."
INSANE!!! Now they are trying to fix the Presidential elections by offering to pay Ben Carson to drop out.
(The Dallas Morning News) - Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson told supporters Saturday in Irving that he has heard plenty of calls to drop out of the Republican presidential primary.
Some “special interests” have even made personal appeals to him, he said.
“I’ve got unanswered calls on my phone right now, ‘Oh, if you did this or did this, and did this, or if you drop out and support this guy, we’ll give you all this money and we’ll make sure you’re a senator here,’” Carson said. “What a bunch of crap. This is about saving our nation. This is not about horse-trading and making deals.”
Carson told a reporter afterward that he wasn’t going to say who called him, but said his reaction is those people can “go jump in a lake.”
The one-time Iowa frontrunner vowed to fight on days before the Texas primary, where polls show him in a battle with Ohio Gov. John Kasich for a distant fourth place in a field of five contenders. And in his speech at the Northeast Tarrant County Tea Party event, Carson continued to zig as his Republican rivals zag.
While Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and business mogul Donald Trump have traded insults, Carson said he didn’t think it was a good idea to criticize of his fellow Republicans and invoked his faith at every turn.
Carson said he doesn’t think the other candidates talk enough about the $19 trillion national debt. He said that he was “very disappointed in the so-called debate” Thursday night in Houston. “We’re just trying to entertain people,” Carson said. “It reminds me so much of ancient Rome — everyone wants to go to the Coliseum and somebody stabs someone with a sword and they go, ‘Yeah, this is great.’ And a tiger tears somebody’s head off, and they go, ‘Ah, this is wonderful.’ And nobody is paying attention to the crumbling society around them.”
The GOP proves yet again that they stand for nothing
as Republican Senators jump ship.
(The Daily Signal) - Minnesota jurist Wilhelmina Marie Wright’s written accusation that President Reagan tolerated racism did not hinder her ascent to the federal bench. The Senate voted 58-36on Tuesday evening to confirm President Barack Obama’s nominee to U.S. District Court in Minnesota.
While a student at Harvard Law School in 1989, Wright wrote an article published in the prestigious UCLA Law Review that accused Reagan and his administration of “bigotry” and implied that property rights undergird American racism.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in July, Wright, an associate justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court, renounced the style but not the substance of her remarks 26 years ago.
Stressing her inexperience at the time, the judge—known as “Mimi”—said her words were “inartful” but did not deny their underlying sentiment.
Wright’s confirmation by the full Senate comes amid other ongoing political battles. Some conservatives have pushed Republicans to block Obama’s judicial nominees to protest what they see as executive overreach. Liberals complain that Republicans already are delaying the nominations for political purposes.
Republicrats - One of the open borders Establishment donors saying he would support Hillary over Trump tells you everything you need to know about the Elite GOP Ruling Class.
None of them give a crap about the American people. It is all an insiders club where they line each other's pockets with our tax dollars.
(Business Insider) - Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson released a fiery statement on Friday denouncing a reported meeting attended by his party’s top leaders earlier in the week.
“If the leaders of the Republican Party want to destroy the party, they should continue to hold meetings like the one described in the Washington Post this morning,” Carson said.
The retired neurosurgeon even threatened to leave the GOP, referencing front-runner Donald Trump’s own threats to run as an independent.
“If this was the beginning of a plan to subvert the will of the voters and replace it with the will of the political elite, I assure you Donald Trump will not be the only one leaving the party,” Carson said.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that a number of Republican officials, including Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), had a dinner on Monday where they discussed how the party would handle a so-called brokered convention.
Carson was clearly unhappy that the Monday meeting even took place.
“I pray that the report in the Post this morning was incorrect,” he said in the Friday statement. “If it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they are being betrayed. I won’t stand for it.”
He continued:
This process is the one played out by our party. If the powerful try to manipulate it, the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next summer may be the last convention. I am prepared to lose fair and square, as I am sure is Donald. But I will not sit by and watch a theft. I intend on being the nominee. If I am not, the winner will have my support. If the winner isn’t our nominee then we have a massive problem. My campaign is about “We the People” not “They the Powerful.”
Kentucky's new Lt. Governor is Republican Jenean Hampton. She will become the first African American to hold the office of Lieutenant Governor. She earned her Industrial Engineering degree from Wayne State University in 1985, and soon afterwards, she joined the Air Force as a computer systems officer, retiring as a Captain. Hampton has been active in her local party and in the Tea Party Movement.
(Politico) - GOP businessman Matt Bevin easily won Kentucky’s governorship on Tuesday night and will become just the second Republican to inhabit the governor’s mansion in Frankfort in more than four decades.
The Associated Press called the contest with Bevin leading Conway, 52 percent to 44 percent, with 80 percent of precincts reporting. Polls prior to the vote showed a close race, with most surveys giving Conway, the state's sitting attorney general, a slight advantage.
Bevin, a multimillionaire investment manager who has spent $7 million trying to win elected office between this run and his failed 2014 Senate primary against now-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has completed a stunning political turnaround. In 2014, he lost the primary to McConnell by 25 percentage points, was mocked by fellow Republicans as an "East Coast Con Man" and a supporter of cockfighting.
He entered the governor's race just hours before the filing deadline and won a May primary against two more establishment-oriented Republicans by a mere 83 votes.
A late $2.5-million spending blitz from the Republican Governors Association helped Bevin close the gap in television advertising in the final weeks. Even with the late help from the RGA, Democrats outspent Republicans in the contest, $9 million to $5 million.
Bevin's win continues two distressing Obama-era trends for Democrats. The party will know hold just 17 governorships, down from 29 in 2008. Only a single one of those — Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe — hails from the South.
By any standard political timeline it is way, way too early to talk about a GOP ticket. But I have a gut feeling that the entire Republican field of candidates has imploded. The Donald has come.
