Joy Reid’s substitute host on her show, Tiffany D Cross, says the blacks who spoke at last week’s Republican National Convention were just minstrels.
I watched the Republican convention, and seeing the slew of black speakers that they had, it really did look like a modern-day minstrel show to me.
Blacks doing black-face.
It’s not just Progressive-Democratic Party Presidential candidate Joe Biden. In the eyes of the Left generally, any black American who doesn’t support Joe Biden ain’t black.
The Trump campaign has as one of its focuses, law and order, and it points to the rioting and looting so rampant in so many cities.
if Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the White House, “No one will be safe.” Vice President Mike Pence used almost the same words in his speech a day earlier, and one of the campaign’s most-aired recent ads employs similar language.
…his team is banking that the chaotic images from places such as Kenosha, WI, and Portland, OR, won’t just rally their base, but sway undecided voters and suburban voters who had been moving away from Mr Trump.
The Biden campaign demurs from that,
noting that the unrest is taking place under Mr Trump’s watch. “This happens to be Donald Trump’s America,” Mr Biden said on Thursday.
This is a cynical and disingenuous distortion of the facts.
All of that rioting and looting is taking place in Progressive-Democrat-run cities, on Progressive-Democrat mayors’ watches. In the particular case of Portland, the mayor has overtly refused Federal help in controlling and then ending the rioting and looting.
With law enforcement being entirely local, the Feds cannot move in, cannot provide assistance, unless
The Progressive-Democratic Party has them.
Violent clashes erupted in Washington, DC, between protesters and police after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Thursday night.
And
Protesters yelled and threw water bottles at police at the historic St John’s Church….
US Senator Rand Paul (R, KY) said he was attacked by a “crazed mob” of more than 100 people after leaving the White House following President Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
And
An elderly couple was confronted as they crossed the street by at least one protester who screamed at them while making an obscene gesture, according to a video.
And the ongoing rioting and looting in Progressive-Democrat-run cities, like Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City, ….
These are the Progressive-Democratic Party’s grass roots.
This is why no one in Party talked about those rioters and looters Party’s poll numbers started to fall, why Progressive-Democrats were deafeningly silent all through their convention and in the weeks before that.
It’s why, even now, they’re commenting only in empty platitudes, with no concrete intention, much less an actual plan, to act against the violence.
Holman Jenkins, using the current state of energy deliverance in California as his backdrop, is concerned about the governance of the State.
Which introduces our larger theme. The only hope for the many, many things ailing the Golden State is better governance.
Which introduces the encompassing theme. The citizens of the Golden State keep electing the politicians that deliver the present quality of governance.
It’s not the politicians who are failing the citizens; they’re only doing what they’ve been hired to do.
It’s the California citizens who are failing California’s citizens.
First Lady Melania Trump speaks with an accent. Which isn’t surprising to most of us, she’s an immigrant from Slovenia, only come to the US as an adult. Never mind, either, that her English is much better than any of our Slovenian.
Bette Midler, though, objected to her accent and her citizenship (gained in 2006) while FLOTUS Trump was making her Republican convention speech on Tuesday evening.
Oh, God. She still can’t speak English.
And
Get that illegal alien off the stage!
Midler has since pretended to apologize for the first—pretended because in the heat of the moment, she tweeted from her heart, but her…apology…came only later after much hoo-raw—although she seems to have done nothing about the second.
More importantly, though, it’s three days later, and the Republican convention is over. It’s three days later, and while lots of folks have decried Midler’s slurs, not a single Progressive-Democrat has objected to, much less repudiated, either of them.
This is a silent bigotry we do not need in the White House or anywhere in Congress.
