Black Republican delegates held their first-ever formal meeting at the Republican National Convention, headlined by a long list of black elected Republicans whose number has grown in the Trump era. The event, which drew about 200 attendees, was sponsored by the Black Republican Mayors’ Association, and headlined by Richard Irving, the black Republican mayor of Aurora, Illinois — that state’s second-largest city after Chicago. It was black voices, Irving said, that would “lead us to the Promised Land” of political victory. Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) described the meeting as the fulfillment of a vision that he had ever since leaving the NFL in 1983

I misspelled the author's name....dropped one "L"....and the genius Lucianne 'bad word filter' kicked in. What if that was actually how the author spelled his name? Gee whiz, that's a bit much.

Keep in mind that those on the Left who are willing to resort to violence are a dime a dozen. THE LEFT has an nearly infinite number of dimes … and votes.

Sure wish there was some way we could have meetings like this without basing them on race/skin color! Guess we're not there yet. How about a meeting of ALL Republican mayors (likely from larger cities) who are dealing with similar issues peculiar to black citizens?

Let's hope we get there soon, poster #5, but the Republican Party has this white image that needs to change. What they're doing with this meeting is something that needs to be done now for various reasons, but I hope and pray we don't morph into dems and lose our conservative values. The hope is that the RNC gets back to its roots with black people and doesn't become a sub for the plantation party.

It is frustrating that Republicans get such a bad name especially when a person realizes that Abraham Lincoln was (more than likely) a Republican. When you look at who belonged to the Democrat party like Robert Byrd, it is baffling that black Americans align themselves with that political party. I don't mind this happening as we need more truth out there. Not just the media-created truth. . .

Democrat propaganda is deceitful and strong and it's all that has kept the party afloat for a long time. Blacks, public school teachers and union members have been held captive for a long time. It took an extreme case like the Biden Clown Show to blow up the myth. Let's take the progress as it comes.

The Republican Party is the party for hard-working, independent-thinking people of all types who simply want to be "Americans". No hyphens, no alphabet add-ons needed or wanted. Welcome.

Need a little convincing about the worthiness of J.D. Vance as President Trump's running mate? Look no further than Sen. Mitt Romney's boiling hate of the guy. From X: “I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance,” Mitt Romney told me when he was running for Senate. So much for civility. So much for Senate congeniality.

Events may have overtaken Biden's now widely known cognitive issues. What you can readily take away from past assassination attempts is the empathy factor. None of the major networks (except Fox) regularly carry Trump rallies. This is likely to change after the near assassination of President Trump. Merely the optics of Trump, wounded but defiant, standing beneath an American flag and railing against a lone gunman, already dead but who thought he would rid the planet of Trump, is a harbinger of a November win. By that act, Thomas Matthew Crooks will be recorded by history in one of several ways: misguided, crazy, a true believer

Former President Trump hit the golf course on Sunday, the day after surviving an assassination attempt, according to a video clip posted on social media that drew the attention of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. He is reportedly staying at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. "The man has the energy of a dynamo," Lee posted on X in response to the clip. "There’s a specific scientific term for this kind of (very unusual) man—you know, the kind of man that gets shot, gets up the next morning, and goes golfing," he added.

Appalling but expected: that’s all that needs to be said about the Left’s response to the attempted assassination of President Trump. It’s no longer a process of conscious thought, or consideration, or reflection. It’s degenerated to the level of a tropism, a reaction you’d see in an insect or a nematode.

The right-leaning media and pundits are excited: Marine Le Pen’s party gained twice as many seats in recent French elections. The left-leaning media and commentariat are thrilled, too: Le Pen’s right-wing party won the popular vote but landed only third place in the French National Assembly. If both sides of the political spectrum are so enthusiastic, it could mean only one thing: something is missing here. The answer lies most likely in conflating two different political spectra: absolute and relative. Since Stalin proposed the modern relative political spectrum, it garnered popularity, and members of the Frankfurt School of socialism brought it to American soil.

A now-deleted Facebook post by a staffer of Mississippi's lone Democrat congressman appeared to support the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday. The deleted post by Jacqueline Marsaw, a field director for U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, said "I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn't me talking." The Mississippi Republican Party's X account said Thompson should "FIRE his field director for condoning the attempted assassination of President @realDonaldTrump !!!" The post also said state Democrats "must repudiate these despicable statements."

Police in Charlotte, South Carolina, arrested an 18-year-old Honduran migrant for his alleged role in a random shooting spree that left one person dead.

The Ninth Circuit shoots down COVID vaccine 23 replies

The COVID shot was put on trial in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and coming from California the result might surprise you. Three of four judges agree it was never a “traditional vaccine” and therefore could not legally be mandated. The case was against the Los Angeles Unified School District (“LAUSD”) that “required employees to get the COVID-19 vaccination or lose their jobs.” While this case was making its way thru the courts, LAUSD was playing Hokey-Pokey with their policy on “vaccination” which didn’t play well in their litigation strategy, as it allowed the case to be kept alive rather than becoming moot.

The behavior of the current U.S. administration toward Iran, in continuation of the policies of the Obama administration, has been appeasement on a monumental scale. That's evident in the financial tribute facilitated and released to Iran; the lack of effective action to circumscribe Iran’s expansion of its influence in the Middle East; the failure to counter effectively Iran’s terrorism against America and its friends in the region; the failure to curb Iran’s development of a nuclear arsenal; and the failure to arrest Iran’s development of short and long range missiles to deliver those weapons, not only against targets in the Middle East, but also against targets in Europe and America.

Suffice to say, all is not well for the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry these days. Despite ample subsidies from the federal government, EV sales are slumping. Some of the largest automakers, such as Mercedes Benz, admit they won’t come close to hitting their EV sales estimates over the next few years. And Tesla, the king of EVs, just announced its lowest quarterly profit over the past two years. After the Tesla news broke, the company’s shares cratered, leading to a $138 billion decline in value. Even worse, Hyundai Motor North America is facing a lawsuit that contends the auto manufacturer “has emphasized sales-volume growth

Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday. Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.

Scarborough, who has staunchly defended the 81-year-old president in recent weeks despite the mounting calls for him to step aside, called on those closest to Biden to help him “do the right thing.” “It’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help

Behind the scenes: The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can't win, can't change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can't deliver congressional majorities.

Members of the far-left joined with their entertainment elite compatriots on social media to mock former President Trump’s ear bandage just days after he survived an assassination attempt which also took the life of one man. Sneering far-left Star Wars actor Mark Hamill happily showed the way.

Just when I think the media can’t get any dumber, folks like MSNBC’s Joy Reid prove me dead wrong. In Reid’s latest tap-dancing routine for President Joe Biden, she responded to the news that he has COVID-19 – again. During the segment, she lauded Biden’s latest COVID diagnosis as an opportunity to attack former President Donald Trump, who is riding high after Saturday’s attempt on his life. And not spread COVID around, but also to remind people of what hell we went through with COVID because of Donald Trump. Here is a great messaging opportunity for President Biden to bring out the tape and remind people of how many people died.
