Harris plans to legalize recreational
marijuana and create 'forgivable' loans
in bid to get black men out to vote

Original Article

Kamala Harris has launched a series of measures to shore up the votes of black men amid fears they may not turn out for her on Election Day. It comes as polls showed her level of support among black men lower than that of Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. A New York Times poll last week showed 70 per cent of black male voters backing Harris, and 20 percent Donald Trump. Harris' figure was significantly down from the 85 percent who backed Joe Biden in 2020. In a stark intervention last week Barack Obama urged black men to vote for the Democratic nominee.

A "forgivable loan" is not a loan, its a grant. She wants to create a grant program for black and male entrepreneurs. These already exist under the following organizations: Business Grants for Minorities NAACP Wish Local Empowerment Grant program Small Business Administration Bank of America -Loans and Grants- for minorities Keep It Local Business Fund PowerShift Entrepreneur Grants Wish Local Empowerment Program The NBMBAA Scale-Up Pitch Challenge with Collegiate Edition Backing the BAR Galaxy Microgrants Kinetic Business Black Business Support Fund Comcast RISE Innovation Oakland Black Business Fund Black Ambition Prize Vanguard Accelerator Collation to Back Black Businesses Grant Fast Break for Small Business Grant Restaurant Business Development Grant Community Self-Determination Grant Grants.gov USDA Rural Business Development Grant Program ( My US Senator is catching hell for this one because it ---------specifically excludes white farmers and he voted for it. Jon Tester of Montana. Hopefully, we get him out.) etc etc..... A simple google search turns up a copious number of grants for minorities. So again...Coco Nutjob is trying to have a fresh idea and can't come up with one that hasn't already been beated to death.

Granting "forgivable" loans and legalizing marijuana is racist; it assumes that black business owners either cannot or don't know how to repay loans and that black men everywhere dedicate huge chunks of their days to getting high. It's been awhile but I remember reading a list of things that will help identify people who are racist. One of the things mentioned was "if you have a pet and you love and take care of it". That identification was racist itself since it assumes that nonwhite pet owners breed dogs to fight, and don't love or take care of their pets. So......to ensure that you're not a racist, I suppose you must abuse your pet. Comma-LA's proposal smacks of the same thing to me.

If it is forgivable, it is not a loan. It is gift. In this case, a bribe.

WASHINGTON — Radio host Charlamagne tha God called out Vice President Kamala Harris for her “filibuster” of a listener’s question on reparations — and pressed her on doing “a lot of things wrong at the border” in a highly anticipated town hall focused on her appeal to black voters. The popular radio host, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, tried repeatedly and with little success to knock the 59-year-old Democratic presidential candidate off her talking points during her hourlong interview, which was carried on iHeartRadio’s website and streamed live on CNN. “I try to be on time.

Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden have not spoken since she forced him to drop out of the presidential election, the still-powerful former House speaker has admitted. Pelosi was central to the effort by Democrats to get Biden to bow out of the race in July after a disastrous and concerning performance in his first and only presidential debate against Donald Trump of the 2024 election cycle. On a Guardian podcast Tuesday, the California Democrat confirmed the once-close allies had not spoken since Biden was forced to make the stunning move. She said: 'Not since then, no. But I'm prayerful about it.'

Hunter Biden reignited legal action Tuesday against Fox News, accusing the media giant of illicitly showcasing explicit images of him in a streaming series. Hunter filed the suit in Manhattan state court, mirroring allegations presented in a now-dropped July filing that the unauthorized spread of intimate images breaches New York’s revenge porn law, according to The Associated Press (AP). The allegations stem from “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” a Fox Nation series that dramatized a court proceeding against Hunter on fictitious charges, distinct from the real-life felony firearms convictions he faced.

Atlanta— A judge has blocked a new rule that requires Georgia Election Day ballots to be counted by hand after the close of voting. The ruling came a day after the same judge ruled that county election officials must certify election results by the deadline set in law. The State Election Board last month passed the rule requiring that three poll workers each count the paper ballots — not votes — by hand after the polls close. The county election board in Cobb County, in Atlanta’s suburbs, had filed a lawsuit seeking to have a judge declare that rule and five others recently passed by the state board invalid,

Micklethwait repeatedly asked Trump at The Economic Club of Chicago how he would enact high tariffs on foreign companies without getting an economic blowback on the American consumer in exchange — as the current US economy is intertwined with China and the EU. “The overall effect could be massive,” the editor said, adding that Trump is set to launch the US into a “trade war.” (Photo) Trump replied of his proposed policy:
