TO WHOM DO BLACK LIVES MATTER ... ?

Given the words and actions of most national black leaders and BLM leaders, black lives really don't matter.

If the BLM organization cared about their black brothers and sisters they would use their energy  in more positive ways than blocking highways, rioting, insulting police, and allowing the destruction of public and private property. Sadly, BLM is all about getting headlines and showing the racism they so passionately claim to hate. Where is the BLM outfit when it comes to positive programs to help distressed black communities ? Where are the BLM protesters and outrage over the hundreds of senseless black on black murders ?

America's mass media cares more about advertising revenue and covering the hours of racial mob violence than actual black lives. Protracted coverage of demonstrations and riots simply adds fuel to the senseless fire of hate and frustration that is the BLM. CNN, Fox, MSNBC and others have spent more resources on covering race riots because they care about ratings and advertising revenues. Of note The Smithsonian Institute recently opened a grand museum documenting the struggles and accomplishments of black America and the mass media gang was largely absent - why ? Is covering a sensational riot more important than publicizing a great exposition showcasing black contributions to our culture ? Maybe not so much.

If Barrack Obama gave a damn, he would be the community leader, he never was, and pressure his Chicago mayor pal, Louie F., Rev. Wright, and all the other Chicago democrats into ending the tragic nightly slaughter of young blacks. However, Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Jesses Jackson, Al Sharpton and other black leaders would rather bristle over the isolated and sketchy scenarios when a white cop shots  a black man than do the hard work in the inner cities. Ultimately, in the Ferguson, Baltimore, Trayvon Martin case and others, race was a non factor. Nonetheless, Obama and the normal gang of race pimps rush to judgement. They bellow to gain publicity, money, votes for Hillary Clinton, and the chance to build a legacy, but they rarely roar over the fatherless homes, drug culture, unlimited abortions, joblessness, lack of education, and job opportunities that plague every major urban area of our country. These factors are the real cause for violence and disfunction in many urban communities. Their consistent solution to end these problems is to appropriate more money. This allows complacent bureaucrats to waste more money in meaningless programs and handouts which ultimately perpetuate more problems than solutions.

The Black Congressional Congress evidently cares more about staging a ridiculous sit in protest against guns than the lives of young blacks killed every night. Their fury seems to fix blame on inanimate pieces of metal as the most important cause for the senseless slaughter of blacks. Where are their impassioned speeches to the largely democratic and local black leaders of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia and other cities to address the real causes of poverty and inner city crime ? John Lewis and other civil rights lions of the past have become cartoon characters shilling empty causes which fix blame everywhere but at the root causes of chaos in many black communities. The BCC finds its easier to blame the NRA, republicans, guns, Bush, Wall Street millionaires, and Trump for all the problems that trouble their congressional districts. Seeking meaningful solutions means really hard community work rather than simply speechifying and preaching. 

As noted in an earlier blog, racism is big business in America. BLM is more interested in publicity, disorder, and making a buck than doing things that really prove their title is more than a clever combination of words.

In my opinion, if black lives really mattered to black & white leaders there would be more quiet constructive work and less hustling to get headlines and cute soundbites for the nightly riot news updates.

THE TRUMPIAN THREAT TO WORLD ORDER

In a recent Financial Times article, Phillip Stearns penned an opinion piece entitled, "The Trumpian Threat to World Order". I have one question and one reply for the esteemed UK daily and Mr. Stearns:

QUESTION - What "world order" ?

REPLY - Bully. Isn't it refreshing, perhaps redeeming, that Trump is threatening the terrible state of affairs loosely called, "world order".

Given the migration chaos in the EU, BREXIT, the continuing eruption of violence from the Mid East, rouge nations such as Iran and North Korea frothing, and the Russia/China tag team steadily threatening an inept Obama, isn't it great that someone poses an upheaval to the status quo. If elected Hillary Clinton will simply walk the same walk as Obama, and maintain the funk that has become our GDP, state of race relations, foreign policy, and the alphabet soup of federal agencies that have successfully bottled up improvements in our national infrastructure, energy independence, veterans care, educational system, and armed forces. Her administration will be politics as usual, and haven't we suffered too much of that ? 

If Trump wins in November it could be a great disaster, but as he tells his black audiences, "whatta ya gotta lose" given the trail of broken promises from decades of democrats. In my opinion, for too many administrations, most especially during the Obama Abomination, the USA has been going backwards. Riots and acts of terrorism have become the new normal. A black president who got the Pulitzer Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing for peace has allowed more murders in his adopted hometown of Chicago than any other president. He has used his bully pulpit to divide races and different economic groups. His previous experience as a "community organizer" has been missing as blacks have suffered more violence, poverty, and unemployment then before he took office. With his highly touted Universal Health Care Scheme, Obama has again shown the utter failure that is socialism when mixed with government bureaucracy on steroids.

Ms. Clinton is a future Obama minus his considerable charisma, spunk, and endearing smile. Her policies will simply extend the unconstitutional and immature path of non leadership played so well by Barrack Obama.

Trump has been a successful and pragmatic business man with incredible negotiating skills. He is neither a pure republican, democrat, liberal, progressive, greenie, socialist, or alien. To his credit he has no political experience except for the whooping he gave 16 or so formidable political heavyweights during the nomination sweepstakes. Despite what many perceive as arrogance, gruffness, bad hair, and profane language,  he is a super star at getting things done, and has a very good track record. Further, he has an enthusiasm and energy that dwarfs the pitiful efforts of Hillary Clinton.

Despite huge chunks of the establishment hurling their incredible weight to insure his defeat, he soldiers on like an energizer bunny. I think it is good that Mr. Trump might pose a threat to the world order because it has been a miserable state of affairs for far too long. Trump's attempt at "Making America Great Again" might just make the world a little better place too.

TRUMPSTERS - BEWARE OVERCONFIDENCE !

While it appears Mr. Biden is not doing or feeling well lately, Trump supporters should be wary of overconfidence.

The Biden campaign will eventually spend many millions on ads and a bundle of sneaky tricks until the November counting. With the nearly universal support of most media, academia, and many incumbent politicians, his election chances are good despite his declining mental acuity. He may seem to be faltering in some polls, but polls are often slanted and proved unreliable in 2016. Also, establishment politicians and millions of bureaucrats of both parties are desperate for a continuance of the deep state status and fear further undoing by a second Trump administration.

Despite TV "expert" pundits, scores of polls, and electoral college forecasts,  there is only one sure way Trump wins again. The great silent majority of "deplorables", Wall Mart shoppers, blacks, Hispanic, church going folks, legal immigrants, and constitutionalists must unite their votes to again denounce the deep state of corrupt democrats and republicans. Both political parties have used their offices and influence  to build more government infrastructure, pad their own pockets with more money and build a wall of political power.

Trump has marches along with the simple slogan "Make America Great Again" and a high level of energy and enthusiasm reminiscent of Ronald Reagan. He is not a politician, but a very successful businessman blessed with superior negotiating skills, zeal, and a keen sense of pragmatism. With his clownish hair and arrogant manner he may seem an unlikely second termer for the White House, but he has proven the perfect non establishment boss since 2016.

Isn't it about time the staid world of republicans and democrats get a strong message that the American people are frustrated with their failures ? Isn't it about time voters fire a few people, and use common sense in reducing the incompetent bungling bureaucracy of our federal government ? 

America needs further relief from bad, inept government and it's habit of broken promises. As we quickly move towards election day Trump's record and direction is positive, but over confidence should not slow the critical momentum or fervor of his campaign or his supporters.

TRUMPS ONLY PATH TO VICTORY.

Donald Trump faces an enormous task in defeating Hillary Clinton and the "establishment"  party politics of the democratic and republican parties.  In order to claim victory in November, he must overcome the following gigantic obstacles:

* The overwhelming Clinton support from practically all print, digital, and broadcast media
   and the continuance of "status quo" of American politics. This includes ABC, NBC, CBS,
   CNN, MSNBC, UNIVISION, BBC, CNBC, CBC, PBS, AP, REUTERS, THE DAILY BEAST,
   HUFFINGTON, AOL, The NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, USA Today, and hundreds
   of affiliates in the major broadcast and print corporations.

* The massive support of wealth from the "pay to play" schemes of The Clinton Foundation and
   her influence peddling while Secretary of State. Campaign funds which is and will choke the
   airways with Clinton propaganda over the next few months.

* The escape from any prosecution for her serious judgment errors in handling confidential and
   secret government information or the serious national security leaks to our international
   enemies. Obama, his entire Administration, and department chiefs have assisted Clinton in every
   inquiry.

* Turncoat republicans and conservative leaders/commentators who have failed to support the legal
   nominee of the republican party. This list of party traitors include the Bush Family, Ted Cruz,
   John Kasich, and a long list of party leaders mortally afraid in a change to the status quo of their
   political world.

* An electoral college system of selecting a president which has over ruled the popular votes of
   U.S. citizens on several occasions.

Trumps only path to the White House is a SUPER majority of Americans voting for change in 2016.
A majority of votes which will cancel the electoral college. His mandate must defeat the "establishment" and deadly combination of crooked politicians and big money. Socialism and the unnatural growth of government has been choking the Constitution, free market, and liberty of Americans for generations, and it must be stopped.

Trump is an imperfect candidate. However, he is outside the filthy hold of "establishment" politics and in his words and actions really does want "To Make America Great Again." He may fail in reaching all his lofty goals, but he has great energy and a genuine enthusiasm which Clinton lacks.

Vote for refreshing change in 2016 - vote Trump !
