Black Lives Matter. This is going to ring hollow in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden will seize on every opportunity to win over Black voters.
The Long Hot Summer begins. With the COVID-19 pandemic still an ongoing crisis, Trump is trying to get the government opened up despite the lack of testing, the lack of safe practices and the growing amounts of infections in states that eased up rules. The COVID-19 pandemic has killed over 115,000 Americans and has placed over 40 million out of work. Trump is hoping to keep you distracted with noise.
Take for example, "You Ain't Black."
Joe Biden's interview with The Breakfast Club's Charlamagne Tha God was exploited not only by the host but leftists and Republicans. They are trying to keep folks riled up. Biden said, "You ain't Black" in regards to supporting Trump for reelection.
The far-right seized on the remarks and amplified it. Now that the Tara Reade hoax is behind us, the extremist agitators are now trying another distraction.
When the junk food media was covering stories about White people calling the law on Black people, they have generated a new nickname for white people. Now Black people are calling racial instigators "Kevin" and "Karen." I am guessing its a dig at Mike Pence's wife Karen.
Well a tale of two Coopers.
Christian Cooper is an avid bird watcher. He was at New York City's Central Park this Memorial Day weekend. He witnessed a woman with her dog off the leash in the park. He kindly asked her to put her dog on the leash.
ME: Ma'am, dogs in the Ramble have to be on the leash at all times. The sign is right there.
HER: The dog runs are closed. He needs his exercise.
ME: All you have to do is take him to the other side of the drive, outside the Ramble, and you can let him run off leash all you want.
HER: It's too dangerous.
ME: Look, if you're going to do what you want, I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it.
HER: What's that?
ME (to the dog): Come here, puppy!
HER: He won't come to you.
ME: We'll see about that…
I pull out the dog treats I carry for just for such intransigence. I didn't even get a chance to toss any treats to the pooch before Karen scrambled to grab the dog.
HER: DON'T YOU TOUCH MY DOG!!!!!
That's when I started video recording with my iPhone, and when her inner Karen fully emerged and took a dark turn…
All hell broke loose.
The woman now identified as Amy Cooper got upset. So Christian decided to whip out his camera and recorded the encounter.
Christian Cooper was bird watching when he saw that woman disobey a state park rule. He asked her to respect the rules and she called the law on him.
The woman now walks up to Christian demanding he turns off the camera. He refuses. So instead of moving along or recording him, she decided to call 9-1-1 to report Christian threatening her and her dog.
While he is recording, he saw the woman place the leesh on the dog and was violently jerking the animal while she was trying to report the incident.
The incident went viral and has been seen by over 30 million people. The internet is a beast here.
Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash. pic.twitter.com/3YnzuATsDm
They found out where this woman works and she's now in some serious trouble. The company Franklin Templeton, a prominent investment company confirms she's an executive vice president of the company, said that the matter is being looked at and she is being placed in the freezer pending a possibility of a cannon fire.
A twitter user found that Amy Cooper, the women who called the cops and lied that an African American man was threatening her and her dog’s life, works as the “Head of Insurance Investment Solutions” at Franklin Templeton.
The animal rescue where she volunteered also released a statement condemning the encounter and the way she handled the dog. The woman returned the dog shortly after.
After the video, she apologized. She canceled her Facebook, made her Instagram account private and temporarily removed her Linkedin profile.
Christian Cooper, 57, is a former Marvel Comics editor and writer who now works as the senior biomedical editor at Health Science Communications. Christian Cooper is a birder and says he often watches birds in Central Park, which is what he said he was doing before the Memorial Day encounter with the other Cooper. The video’s spread was helped by a tweet by his sister, Melody, a science fiction and horror writer who has worked at CW and HBO.
Charlamagne tha God tried to trip up Joe Biden. Now the table are going to turn on him. He was accused of raping a woman back in the 2000s. Now this is coming back to light.
Leftists, you better be careful of the company you keep. Trust me, you're going to get shut down.
I am not going to fall for the lies, phony outrage and swiftboat politics. Enough is enough!
Okay, last Friday, former vice president Joe Biden went to The Breakfast Club to talk to Charlamagne tha God about his agenda moving forward. The celebrity agitator was asking him questions that seemed like a setup. When Biden was ending his interview, they were joking and Biden said the choice between him and Trump is simple. If you're support Trump, "You ain't Black."
Towards the end of the sometimes tense interview, Charlamagne asked Biden to come to do another interview in their New York City studio in the future, saying "we've got more questions for you." Mr. Biden responded "You've got more questions? Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't Black." Charlamagne said that "It don't have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact that I want something for my community."
So the pearl clutchers were screaming that Biden is a racist. The Trump Campaign releases its #YouAintBlack T-shirts and having tokens on television and radio denouncing Biden and Democrats.
All the while MSNBC and CNN interviewing Charlamagne about the spat.
On the Joy Reid's AM Joy program, the celebrity agitator made his opinion clear about Biden and his attempts at winning the Black vote. He also mentioned the possibility of Biden picking Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) as a potential running mate.
"On top of possible Russian interference and voter suppression, [Democrats] have to worry about voter depression," he said, "that's people staying home on Election Day because they just aren't enthused by the candidate."
Charlamagne said that if Biden choses her as his vice president, voter turnout would likely be further damaged. "You know, they got to make some real policy commitments to black people," he said, adding that Biden should pick a progressive black female running mate to alleviate voter depression.
The Breakfast Club is a nationally syndicated radio program on urban markets. The hosts include Angela Yee, DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God.
"They've got to make some real policy commitments to black people," Charlamagne said.
"It has to come to the point where we stop putting the burden on black voters and start putting the burden on Democrats to show up for black voters."
He also encouraged Biden to campaign more aggressively. "I think people are sitting around hoping that Trump loses instead of going out there and actually beating him," Charlamagne added.
The radio host's show has been a popular stop for Democrats to promote their policies to an audience of disengaged and millennial voters this election season. However, Charlamagne's heated line of questioning, which tends to focus heavily on race records, has caused trouble for some candidates, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Well it seems like Charlamagne better start considering the outcome his own deeds. I may have slept on this one. I didn't know about it but when I googled his name, YouTube put up video about his behavior when's not on radio and television.
Back in 2001, he was then a nobody who was interested in a teenager. The teenager was 15 an he was 22 years old. The agitator pressured her to meet him at a party. He gave drinks and took her to his house and slept with her. The teenager identified as Jessica Reid told her family about the encounter and he was arrested. Although the state couldn't prove he raped her, he did get charged with delinquency to a minor and improper engagement with an underage minor. He plead no contest and was sentenced to probation and wasn't labeled by OFFENDER U.
Jessica Reid said the radio agitator sexually abused her in South Carolina.
Thanks to that interview, some including myself are going to take him down for that.
Reid still hasn't gotten her story nationally. But I'm going to work diligently to bring this to life.
Lenard Larry McKelvey is known professionally as Charlamagne tha God, is an American radio presenter, television personality, and author. He is a co-host of the nationally syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy and Angela Yee, and stars in Guy Code, Guy Court and Girl Code. He was also a VJ for The Week in Jams with DJ Envy and Sofi Green. In 2015, Charlamagne began hosting the MTV2 show Uncommon Sense. He was previously on The Wendy Williams Experience with Wendy Williams on VH1. In the shock-jock tradition, one of Charlamagne's personal mantras is "bite my tongue for no one.
Joe Biden still has strong Black support despite the far-right and leftists trying to distract us with the "You Ain't Black" remarks.
Well he's be biting his tongue in the coming days when Twitter starts blowing up. The agitator thought he is the undisputed voice of Black America. No.
Charlamagne, Tariq Nasheed (aka K-Flex), Brihana Joy Gray, (Jeffery) Shaun King and Nina Turner do not represent the views of Black America. They are not reflective of anything other than their selfish agendas.
Biden better start punching hard or face defeat.
Charlamagne will eventually be on Looney Coons after the radio show drops him.
I mean the Tara Reade scandal is dying down. Reade ended up causing more problems for herself than for Biden. Now the far-right and leftists are trying another ridiculous tactic. The leftists and far-right have seized upon a 30 second clip of Biden making a mockingly joke about Black people and now the social media is lit over the comment.
The extremes are going to take every single word and put it out of context. They will use this as a distraction to keep people diverted from the real issues that we're facing.
Biden did apologize shortly after. At least he admits to that.
With over 115,000 dead from the coronavirus, 45 million unemployed, 2.5 million new cases, companies going bankrupt, global uncertainty and political distractions, Donald J. Trump wants to celebrate these failures as accomplishments.
We got two choices this election year. I am not going to waste time dealing with the noise and distractions. I will do my best to drag Joe Biden across that finish line. Trust me, we ain't got time for another term of Trump.
Charlamagne the clock is ticking on your rotten ass!
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) takes the side of the leftists when it comes to Tara Reade.
The never ending saga of Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe.
The former staffer under then Senator Joe Biden accused him of sexual assault inside the U.S. Capitol. Reade went to a leftist agitator's podcast to tell her story and it took off from there. Many of these leftists agitators have accused Biden of inappropriate behavior despite his denials. Reade has been under scrutiny since she came forth with these allegations. She reached to leftists agitators Katie Halper and Ryan Grim who amplified this allegation into the mainstream.
Other leftists like (Jeffery) Shaun King, Nathan Richardson, Rich McHugh, Krystal Ball, Benjamin Dixon, Briahna Joy Gray, Michael Moore, Amy Goodman, Jimmy Dore, Kyle Kulinski and The Young Turks have pushed this as well.
The leftists even were begging Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to return to the race and take the nomination. Well all of this collapsed after a handful of headlines came out.
Some have questioned Reade's previous accusations, her praising of Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin, her inconsistencies to why she left Biden's office and of course former friends who accused her of stealing and misleading them with fake stories.
Reade on her part claimed that MeToo didn't help her with lawyers. They did.
Reade refused to go to outlets like CNN, MSNBC and even Fox News. She would have been grilled by the anchors on her credibility. So she decided to take her stories to Democracy Now!, The Hill's Rising,
Soon her credibility took a hit. Reade claimed that she earned a certification degree from Antioch University in Seattle and taught there. The school refuted those claims and told the junk food media that she's not being truthful. Now California state prosecutors are going to do a review of all her testimonies. If she committed perjury while on the bench, the state could face a backlash from defense attorneys and civil rights activists.
Reade billed herself as "a domestic violence expert" when testifying as a government witness in Monterey County, California. court cases, with ABC News reporting that she "touted Biden's work for women" while under oath, citing transcripts.
She served as an expert witness in various cases for years, but her newfound fame has put a spotlight on her legitimacy.
That collapsed her legal defense. Douglas Wigdor, a Trump-supporting lawyer, far-white agitator Megyn Kelly and leftist Nathan Robinson started distancing themselves from her.
Biden has denied the allegations.
Reade even toned down her comments abet a few from washed up actress/activist Rose McGowan.
The controversy has died down over the past week. That's until Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) opened her damn mouth.
— I'm Right About Everything (@KHiveQueenBee) May 25, 2020
Omar believes Tara Reade's sexual assault claim against Biden, and that if it were up to her, Biden wouldn't be the Democrats' nominee for president.
"I do believe Reade," Omar told the British Sunday Times. "Justice can be delayed but should never be denied."
The lawmaker had infuriated progressives and moderates. Once again, the Squad which consists of Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) have caused a headache for Democrats.
More controversy facing Tara Reade. Lied about record.
The Squad are still reeling from their handpicked candidates losing in the primaires. Only one candidate managed to win a primary. The party itself has rallied around Joe Biden, the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee.
Biden has face an onslaught of distractions from Donald J. Trump, the far-right, leftists and Russian trolls. Their goal is to take your mind off Trump's disastrous handling of the pandemic.
Biden repeatedly had denied the claims, and told MSNBC in an interview earlier this month he did not remember Reade. He said anyone who believed her allegations "probably shouldn't vote for me."
So far the Republican Party and leftists have tried to distract Americans with this bullshit. I mean last Friday they were screaming about "You Ain't Black."
Now the far-right and leftists are trying another ridiculous tactic. The leftists and far-right have seized upon a 30 second clip of Biden making a mockingly joke about Black people and now the social media is lit over the comment.
The extremes are going to take every single word and put it out of context. They will use this as a distraction to keep people diverted from the real issues that we're facing.
I'm very disappointed in Ilhan Omar and I wouldn't care if she or any of the Squad were defeated in their primaries or the general election.
Trump angry the state of North Carolina is blocking large gatherings due to COVID-19. The RNC Convention is being held in Charlotte and he wants the event to be packed.
With over 115,000 dead from the coronavirus, 45 million unemployed, 2.5 million new cases, companies going bankrupt, global uncertainty and political distractions, Donald J. Trump wants to celebrate his accomplishments.
He wants to celebrate the accomplishments at the Republican National Convention at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Just one problem, the pandemic has affected large gatherings and the state's governor is concerned that people traveling to the city could cause a spread of COVID-19.
Trump is upset that Gov. Roy Cooper is not easing up on the large gatherings order. So now he's threatening to pull the RNC from Charlotte.
Roy Cooper stated that large crowds are not going to happen.
The Politico reports that in a series of tweets, Trump complained that the convention will have a huge financial impact on the city. He said that August 24-27 convention will be one of the largest in history.
I love the Great State of North Carolina, so much so that I insisted on having the Republican National Convention in Charlotte at the end of August. Unfortunately, Democrat Governor, @RoyCooperNC is still in Shutdown mood & unable to guarantee that by August we will be allowed...
...full attendance in the Arena. In other words, we would be spending millions of dollars building the Arena to a very high standard without even knowing if the Democrat Governor would allow the Republican Party to fully occupy the space. Plans are being....
...made by many thousands of enthusiastic Republicans, and others, to head to beautiful North Carolina in August. They must be immediately given an answer by the Governor as to whether or not the space will be allowed to be fully occupied. If not, we will be reluctantly forced...
...to find, with all of the jobs and economic development it brings, another Republican National Convention site. This is not something I want to do. Thank you, and I LOVE the people of North Carolina!
"As governor of North Carolina, we are cooperating with the health officials and the Republican National Committee. State health officials are working with the RNC and will review its plans as they make decisions about how to hold the convention in Charlotte. North Carolina is relying on data and science to protect our state's public health and safety."
If he would have taken on the coronavirus problem earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess.
The convention will pull at least $50 million in revenue for the North Carolina economy. The coronavirus has put a major dent on local communities and is hoping that trends decline.
Cooper allowed the state to enter a second phase of gradual reopening Friday with some further loosening of restrictions on hair salons, barbers and restaurants. But he said the state must continue to closely watch virus trends and has ordered entertainment venues, gyms and bars to remain closed.
At noon, Mecklenburg County and the city of Charlotte released a joint statement, saying, "We are in constant communication with our local and federal counterparts to plan and prepare for a safe Republican National Convention (RNC). The City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County and other local stakeholders will continue to plan for the RNC while respecting national and state guidance regarding the pandemic. We are working with stakeholders to develop guidelines for several large events planned for Charlotte in the coming months including the RNC and anticipate providing that guidance in June."
Mayor Vi Lyles said that the community's health and safety are important and the city of Charlotte is going with the governor on how to conduct venues.
While I've remained consistent in my statements regarding the RNC being held in Charlotte, the science and data will ultimately determine what we will collectively do for our city.
Cooper who is up for reelection this year is focusing his agenda on how he's governed throughout the pandemic.
Trump's attacks on Cooper are in regards to Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Cooper's opponent Dan Forrest, the Lt. Governor who is a Republican.
Charlotte's mayor Vi Lyles is standing with Cooper on how to handle large venues during COVID-19.
If the convention is moved, many states have to prepare for the major expenses. When Trump comes to town, expect roads to be closed. The U.S. Secret Service will be in full force protecting the president, vice president and their families. The U.S. Capitol Police will protect Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and the 51 members of the senate. Trump had banned Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) from attending. The airspace will be cut off for 30 miles. Waterways and sewers are monitored. The disruption of people working, commuting and going to school is greatly affected. Expect protesters to attend and possibly create unrest and destruction to property. Expect sex workers to make an effort to make money at the venue. If bars and restaurants are open, expect Republicans to eat and drink. Expect large groups to possibly catch COVID-19. Fox News, OANN, Newsmax and Breitbart News will have a major place at the venue. CNN, MSNBC, Bloomberg and other outlets could be barred from the event.
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina. The population of the city is 896,000 residents. It sits in Mecklenburg County. Interstate 77 and Interstate 85 are the main freeways that cover the city. Interstate 277 is a downtown connector loop and Interstate 485 is the beltway. The Charlotte metropolitan area covers 10 counties in North Carolina and South Carolina. It's provides access to Atlanta, Cleveland, Ohio, Greensboro, Charleston, West Virginia and Columbia, South Carolina.
Trump and his allies are trying to capitalize off "You Ain't Black."
So while the United States has over 100,000 Americans dead from COVID-19, over 2.6 million cases and growing, 45 million people out of jobs, folks ignoring the social distancing rules and major companies dropping like flies, the agitators are generating a controversy between the presumptive Democratic nominee and a hip-hop agitator's interview.
Let me be clear, this is a distraction and an op from the Donald J. Trump campaign. They know that this COVID-19 pandemic is an absolute chaotic disaster. In order to take our eyes off the real issues, Trump and his allies are distracting us with a bunch of meaningless words.
This is what the Republican Party, Fox News, talk radio, leftist agitators and the far-white are going to be spending a portions of the election year doing. They are going to play on the culture wars once again to muddy up the Democratic nominee to paint him as a remotely weak contender.
So instead of working to earn Black votes, the Republicans and leftists are going to dictate what's racist and what's not. It's often white people who were most offended by the remarks.
Trump managed to pull in 10% of the Black vote. His campaign is trying to use a "culture war" tactic to distract Americans from his disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are a few tokens in the coin box of hypocrisy running at the mouth.
Yes, Charlamagne Tha God, Terrence K. Williams, Darrell Scott, Charles Payne, Harris Faulkner, (Jeffery) Shaun King, Tariq Nasheed, Diamond & Silk and Benjamin Dixon are injecting that disinfectant into their skins. They seething the toxic brew of bullshit.
I was not offended by "You Ain't Black Enough!"
I would be offended if the current president was caught on audiotape calling a former Black contestant Omarosa Manigault-Newman a NIGGER and he paid his producers to bury it before the election in 2016.
Wondering why ain't no one leaking that shit out?
I mean Trump calling Blacks, NIGGERS ain't really going to make me mad. It would make me mad that he's deliberately hiding his past remarks to stifle his mere 10% of the Black vote.
Trump is just gonna make me more likely to oppose Republicans.
Far-right agitators Diamond & Silk and Terrence K. Williams touch an uncomfortable Donald Trump.
No one is dictating me on who to vote for. I see the mess we're in.
Do you actually believe that Republicans deserve to regain control of Washington, given the messes we're in?
The Republicans and Trump campaign waste no time trying to generate fundraising and opportunistic finger wagging.
These Black Americans have a strong message for you, @JoeBiden!
They will NOT be voting for you this November and you are NOT entitled to their vote! 👏pic.twitter.com/YDPWO7xejM
— Students For Trump (@TrumpStudents) May 23, 2020
The remarks instantly ignited a backlash from critics, the Trump campaign calling them "racist and dehumanizing."
I love how the racists are seizing on remark that's not even remotely racist. But like the "Lipstick on a Pig" remark by Barack Obama during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign, his former running mate must deal with a whole lot of distractions.
Are you offended by the "You Ain't Black" remarks from Joe Biden? (Note: there will be trolls on this poll picking the dumbest answers. Some of the trolls are not people of color responding to the answers).
Joe Biden, the former vice president of the United States was not the favorite among leftists and identity political agitators. I mean I was fan of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rourke and Joe Biden.
I was not a fan of populists like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Bill De Blasio, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Andrew Yang.
Charlamagne Tha God is a celebrity agitator that is hated by some in the hip-hop community. They believe he's a fucking troll and bullshit starter.
I didn't see Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Julian Castro, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), Steve Bulluck, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and the rest as presidential. No offense, they were not ready for prime time.
When Biden was slipping through the cracks, I feared that Warren or Sanders would emerge as the nominee and turn off the moderates, the conservative-leaning Democrats and Black voters.
Black voters didn't like the populism of Sanders and Warren. We don't give a fuck about billionaires!
Yeah, we want billionaires to pay more in taxes. But we don't give a fuck about billionaires funding campaigns of candidates or self-funding like Bloomberg and Tom Steyer. As long as they were willing to take on Donald J. Trump, I was fine with it.
Biden emerged as the winner of the largest crowd of candidates. He was not your first, second or third choice. Matter of fact, he was an underdog. He still is.
He's not hitting back against the smears and the bullshit that Hillary Clinton relentlessly fought against.
Terrence K. Williams is an openly gay Black conservative agitator who grew up in foster homes. He was then a progressive podcaster. When Trump ran for president he made celebrity fame by bashing Black activists while eating a chicken drumstick.
Clinton fought to the bitter end. In her documentary Hillary, she said that Trump and Sanders were insufferable human beings who lack any accomplishments other than screaming and throwing shit to the wall.
Biden better start punching hard or face defeat.
Anyway, Biden went to The Breakfast Club, a hip-hop/celebrity program. He talked to that celebrity agitator Charlemagne Tha God to discuss his political policies. Of course, he went into these leftist talking points about Biden's role in the 1994 Crime Bill, marijuana legalization and why he needs to prove to Blacks he's worthy of the vote.
Partial transcript.
In the Democratic primaries, Joe Biden made a huge comeback by winning South Carolina. He ended up winning 85% of the Black vote in the primaries. Biden has to face off against the far-right, leftists and Blacks who voted for Donald Trump or sat out the previous election.
"Listen, you've got to come see us when you come to New York, V.P. Biden," Charlamagne said. "It's a long way until November. We've got more questions."
"You've got more questions?" Biden replied. "Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
Charlamagne responded by saying “it has nothing to do with Trump,” but that rather “I want something for my community.”
"Take a look at my record man," Biden responded. "I extended the Voting Rights Act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none. The NAACP has endorsed me every time I’ve run. Come on, take a look at my record."
Charlamagne opened by telling Biden, "I've been critical of you."
"I know you have," Biden shot back. "You don't know me."
A reminder who Joe Biden's boss was. The first African American president nominated twice by the Democratic Party and elected twice by the American people. His name is Barack Hussein Obama II, the 44th President of the United States.
That's right. Charlamagne doesn't know him. He's getting his talking points from those who support Sanders and his vicious allies.
Another thing, where does Fox News get these tokens?
Some retired football player named Jack Brewer goes to Fox & Friends to complain about Biden's remarks.
Not once any of those far-white agitators mentioned Trump's remarks about Baltimore.
Not one comment about how he said that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) go back to where they came from.
Not one mention of his outscript remarks about the African Union, Haiti and Honduras being shithole countries. Not one mention of Trump saying Mexicans are rapists bring crime and drugs into the country. Not one mention of Trump saying that NFL players like Colin Kaepernick being "sons of bitches" for kneeling to the American flag and national anthem.
Not one mention about how Trump promised to control the gun issue in Chicago. Obviously now that Lori Lightfoot's in charge, he places the problems on her doorstep. After all she's not his type of woman.
Not one mention about how Trump reacted to five innocent men who were wrongly convicted of rape in Central Park. That was in Trump former hometown of New York City. No mentions at all from Fox News.
Trump had time to retweet this white extremist's remarks.
After Joe’s racist comments yesterday, do you think that helps or hurts Shamu’s chances of getting the VP slot? They have to shore up the base and I don’t think Pocahontas can do it. Is Willie’s Ho back in contention? #maga#tcot#kagpic.twitter.com/WS6rYfz1Rn
When I see 1 of those polls that has Malarkey the Racist up 6-8 points everywhere, I’m thinking they must have called the same 1,000 people from 2016 that said HRC the Skank was up 6-8 %. #maga#tcot#kagpic.twitter.com/NHoUAsCTud
I guess that Brewer guy didn't get the message about how Trump embraced a white extremists.
I guess in his mind, Biden is "the mask off."
"America can see the real Joe Biden, hopefully all of my African-American brothers and sisters," Brewer told Fox & Friends Weekend.
At least white folks want to be down with the struggle.
Brewer made the statements two days after Biden expressed regret during a call with black business leaders for his comment about African-American voters in an earlier interview.
"I shouldn't have been so cavalier," Biden said in a Friday afternoon phone call with the U.S. Black Chambers, addressing the controversy within seconds of the session starting.
Just in case you're wondering, Charlamagne Tha God was talking about raping a woman. Look at the video below the interview. Also the Jack Brewer interview.
Make sure you get your ticket on the coon train, Mr. Brewer.
Anyway, let's not waste too much time on this. I mean the Tara Reade scandal is dying down. She ended up causing more problems for herself than for Biden. Now the far-right and leftists are trying another ridiculous tactic. The leftists and far-right have seized upon a 30 second clip of Biden making a mockingly joke about Black people and now the social media is lit over the comment.
The extremes are going to take every single word and put it out of context. They will use this as a distraction to keep people diverted from the real issues that we're facing.
Biden did apologize shortly after. At least he admits to that.
Barack Obama said it best in the 2008 campaign.
He said that four years we go through this. And you know who loses this, it's you!
"Enough, I don't care what you say about me, but I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and swift boat politics. Enough is enough!"
Car rental company Hertz filed for bankruptcy. The company is one of the largest car rental agencies in the United States and Canada.
The company has massive debt and it's citing the COVID-19 pandemic as a factor. Also the mismanagement from top executives kind of messed it up as well.
CNN reports that the company is in deep trouble. The auto industry has seen steep decline since the pandemic. With fewer people traveling on the roads this Memorial Day weekend, it's expected to be a nightmare for the hospitality and service industry. Trust me, I work at a local racino and they're closed to do the governor's executive order on large gatherings at establishments like that.
The airline industry also took a huge hit which Hertz usually banks off of. The company is notable near airports. With air travel down 94%, many Americans and international travelers are not renting vehicles for those long trips across the country.
Non-airport rentals also are down. The insurance agencies seen a decrease in traffic accidents. During this time, accidents are at its highest. Hertz would be offering vehicles to those who had accidents.
On Friday, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The debt is too great for the creditors to write off.
Rivals Enterprise, Budget and Avis are also taking hits as well. Now the rental car companies are planning on selling vehicles at dirt cheap prices to at least make a profit.
Hertz been around for over 100 years. It survived the Great Depression, World War II and 9/11.
Hertz kept you going.
The company hopes to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. They said that they're going to restructure and intend on staying operational for the time being.
"The impact of COVID-19 on travel demand was sudden and dramatic, causing an abrupt decline in the company's revenue and future bookings. There is uncertainty and it remains as to when revenue will return and when the used car market will fully re-open for sales, which necessitated today's action," said Hertz in a statement.

Donald J. Trump's failure to take control of the COVID-19 pandemic has over 100,000 Americans dead. Over 40 million out of work. A global market in chaos.
All we getting from Trump and his allies is the distractions that keep people off the real issues that we're facing together. Trump wants to make sure you're worried about words said by his rivals instead of his callous and incompetent handling of a global pandemic and economic recession.
The dominos are going to fall and Trump will be blamed for the disaster the country is foreshadowing.
Annie Glenn, the wife of astronaut and senator John Glenn passed away from COVID-19.
The wife of American astronaut, USMC Col. and former Ohio Democratic senator John Glenn passed away at the age of 100 due to the symptoms of the coronavirus.
Annie Glenn, the widow of the legendary astronaut and lawmaker passed away. NASA and Glenn's family confirmed the news on social media. She died on Wednesday.
Born Annie Castor, she was born in 1920 in Columbus, Ohio. The daughter of Homer and Margaret (Alley) Castor.
Her father was a dentist. In 1923, the Castor family moved to New Concord, Ohio.
Castor met John Glenn at a very young age when her parents became involved in the same community organizations as Glenn's parents. The families developed a friendship which allowed Castor and Glenn to remain close as they grew up.
The pair became high school sweethearts and continued dating through college. Castor attended Muskingum College where she majored in music with a minor in secretarial skills and physical education. Castor was an active member of the swim team, volleyball team, and tennis team. She graduated in 1942. Even though she received an offer for a pipe organ scholarship from the Juilliard School, Castor declined the offer, choosing instead to stay in Ohio with Glenn. Castor and Glenn were married on April 6, 1943.
John and Annie loved each other. He passed away in 2016.
They had two children, David, born in 1945, and Lyn, born in 1947.
During the early years of her marriage to John Glenn, Annie Glenn worked as an organist in various churches and taught trombone lessons
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Annie Glenn. A stalwart member of the space and military communities, her courageous support of her legendary husband John was unmatched," said Jim Bridenstine, NASA chief.
Annie passed away on May 19 at a nursing home in St. Paul, Minnesota after suffering from complications relating to COVID-19, the disease by the novel coronavirus according to the Associated Press.
Annie was a strong advocate for people with disabilities and communication disorders. She was a person who struggled with a speech impairment much of her life. She married John Glenn in 1943 and had been his love for 73 years. John died in 2016 at the age of 95.
Annie watched her husband launch into space on the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. He became the first American to orbit the Earth. He circled the planet three times. It was setting off the Space Race between the U.S. and Soviet Union.
Glenn went back into space at the age of 77. He said that he thrilled to take another round of space flight.
Glenn served as a U.S. Senator for the state of Ohio from 1974 until 1999.
Annie wrote the book The Astronaut Wives Club.
Annie Glenn with then president Barack Obama.
The Astronaut Wives Club (which later became a television miniseries), Lily Koppel relates that Glenn and the other six wives formed a tight-knit support group informally called the "Astronaut Wives Club," which she cites as influential in shaping American identity, as Americans found their values of family, patriotism, and consumerism embodied in Glenn. Koppel states that American women turned to Glenn, who had been elevated in the media because of her all-American family, as a role model on how to maintain a happy home, and also an indirect propagator of the American value of consumption. The appearance of the Astronaut Wives in the media was marketed to average American housewives. For example, when the wives wore a shade of "responsible pink" lipstick to a Life photoshoot, the published photographs were retouched to show the wives wearing "patriotic red" lipstick instead. The lip color was changed to represent a new, vibrant period in American history. After the magazine was published, red lipstick became a fad. Similarly, while Mercury 7 astronauts were given sporty Corvettes to drive, the wives were strongly encouraged to keep their family-friendly station wagons, which meant that the average American housewives who were following the Astronaut Wives' example also bought station wagons. As a result of Glenn and the other members of the Astronaut Wives Club, women across the U.S. were inspired to be brave and of course, to buy the same consumer goods Glenn and the other wives had in their homes
Annie isn't the only person who suffered from speech impairment. Former vice president and Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden has that as well. You know the far-white and leftists are spreading misinformation about the health of Biden. Some are saying he has dementia and cognitive disorder.
Biden talks fast and has a stuttering problem. He often makes gaffes when he talks fast.
I will address the "You Ain't Black" remarks shortly.
Annie Glenn is a pioneer for human rights, space and air travel and dedication to her husband, an iconic astronaut, senator and good man.
John and Annie will never be forgotten.
Glenn has his name on a couple of roads in the Dayton area. There is John Glenn Road in east Dayton and Col. Glenn Highway in Fairborn, Beavercreek and Bath Township.
Here's a map.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.
1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this.

Another blowout for Biden. He won the Hawai'i Democratic Primary.
Being on of the strictest states when it comes to the coronavirus lockdown and gradual easing, Hawai'i held their primary and guess what...... former vice president Joe Biden wins big.
The state that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) won handedly in 2016 went to Biden by double digits. He carried the Hawai'ian Islands with 67% of the vote.
Sanders won 32% of the vote and the remaining was 1%.
The state had mail-in ballots issued after delaying its Democratic and Republican Primaries. Nearly 80,000 ballots were casted and returned through the mail. The turnout was slightly higher.
The distraction of Friday was Charlamagne Tha God. The far-right and leftists seized on a 30 second clip of the former vice president taunting the celebrity agitator about Blacks voting for Trump.
He said and I quote, "You ain't Black" which seems to be the new shiny coin for the agitators to flip.
Now that Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe's allegations are now behind us, the extremists are trying to distract us with a non-story. Mind you that Charlamagne Tha God wasn't a fan of Biden.
Biden went to The Breakfast Club to at least confront this asshole about how he's been treated. He also mentioned that his wife, Dr. Jill Biden had a scheduled online rally and he had to move past the long interview.
Honolulu, Hawai'i, the state's largest city and capital.
Nonetheless, the far-white and tokens of the Republican Party are trying to distract you from the disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by Donald J. Trump.
Trump has a history of speaking inappropriately about Black athletes, Muslims, women and sexual abuse victims.
You don't hear any rambling from them tokens.
Anyway, Hawai'i is located in the Pacific Ocean. It's the 50th State in the Union. The capital of the state is Honolulu and it's located on the island of O'ahu.
It seems like the Biden comments didn't distract people of color from voting for him.
Many Blacks were not offended by the remarks. Only a few tokens and leftists Blacks who were never going to vote for Biden anyway.
Biden has 86% of the Black vote and it hasn't cracked yet. Of course some want identity politics to come into play when he makes a decision to pick his running mate. He vows to put a woman as a vice president and he's hoping to make a smart decision.
Joe Biden so far has 1608 delegates and Bernie Sanders has 1012.
Trump already has enough delegates to the be designated nominee for the Republican Party.
