monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Trump could run out of campaign songs: after stars like Rihanna or Ozzy Osbourne, the family of the late Tom Petty has issued a statement objecting to Donald Trump's use of the song "I Won’t Back Down" in his campaign.

So neither Congress nor the federal courts can tell the President what to do or how to do it?

The "free zone" in Seattle is an insurrection. It is the duty of the government to crush it.

He didn't even fill the auditorium let alone have an overflow outside. big fizzle.

Democrats and Republican Never Trumpers are celebrating Chinese interference in the U.S. presidential election.

China has siphoned away American jobs and production for three decades, a trend that President Donald Trump is the first Western leader to challenge. It flooded the U.S. with opioids, killing tens of thousands of people annually and creating millions of addicts. It allowed the coronavirus to spread internally, then internationally.

Now China is meddling in U.S. elections. It has been interfering for decades, ever since the Chinese government funneled money to President Bill Clinton’s re-election campaign in 1996.

In 2018, China targeted vulnerable U.S. congressional districts with tariffs and with propaganda against U.S. trade policy, which may have helped Democrats win several Republican-held districts.

people say a lot of things. I bet even you are guilty of an exaggeration or two.

It's not.

'Favors' to Blacks

One of these "favors" was the welfare state. A vastly expanded welfare state in the 1960s destroyed the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and generations of racial oppression.

In 1960, before this expansion of the welfare state, 22 percent of black children were raised with only one parent. By 1985, 67 percent of black children were raised with either one parent or no parent.

A big "favor" the Obama administration is offering blacks today is exemption from school behavior rules that have led to a rate of disciplining of black male students that is greater than the rate of disciplining of other categories of students.

Is it impossible that black males misbehave in school more often than Asian females? Or Jewish students? Or others?

Is the only possible reason for the disparities in disciplining rates that the teachers and principals are discriminating against black males? Even when many of these teachers and principals in black neighborhoods are themselves black?

But Washington politicians are on the case. It strengthens the political vision that blacks are besieged by racist enemies, from which Democrats are their only protection. They give black youngsters exemptions from behavioral standards, just as the Ivy League chemistry professor gave them exemption from academic standards.

In both cases, the consequence — unspoken today — is "to hell with them." Kids from homes where they were not given behavioral standards, who are then not held to behavioral standards in schools, are on a path that can lead them as adults straight into prison, or to fatal confrontations with the police.

That's interesting, considering the fact that the DNC thinks decrepit old creepy Joe is a viable candidate, and I haven't heard anyone here (or anywhere) saying what a poor choice he really is.
