Jesse Jackson Jr. took a not-so-subtle swipe at three former Democratic presidents who spoke at his father’s memorial service — Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden — saying they did not know the real Jesse Jackson.[snip] Jackson Jr. — who served as a Democratic representative from Illinois between 1995 and 2012 — made his remarks a day after the ex-presidents honored his father. Obama’s speech was the most political of the three former presidents, with Obama clearly dissing President Donald Trump at one point, without mentioning him by name.

He should have known those three political hacks would use his father’s funeral to air their political opinions. They should not have been invited.

"the ex-presidents honored his father" The ex-presidents dishonored his father by making the occasion a political rally. I don't know why anyone expected anything else or why they were even invited to speak. It is time for Biden to be moved to a facility where he can be taken care of 24/7 by someone not named Jill.

Jesse Jackson, for all his promise early in his work, excluded conservatives from racial dialogue when ho became co-opted by the democrat party. He could have made a difference in the way we were dealing with questions of rights and prejudice and opportunity in the 70s and 80s. He added to the momentum of division and, inevitably toward the type of division espoused by Obama and Obama’s democrat party. Al Sharrpton contributed his share, as he, too, became rich by pointing to the problem and offering blame instead of a path toward reconciliation. In the fifty years since the two began their work, are blacks better off today?

Well Jesse Jackson Jr. the head of the Jackson family, told the speakers at the funeral beforehand to leave politics out of their comments during the funeral for Jesse Jackson, and low and behold those leftist Democrats went right ahead with their very partisan political comments. So you have to figure that it is the right of Jesse Jackson Jr. to slam them good and proper, as they asked for it!

Jesse Jackson, like Revrum Al Sharpton, was a master extortionist, demagogue, and guilt-tripping race baiter who apparently was idolized by legions of leftwing wannabes like Barack Obama.

Jesse Jr. should have taken control when the disrespect was happening, not complain about it the day after it happened. The pattern quickly established itself; once one person veered off track, it would have been easy for Jr to remind everyone else of his request. That he did nothing while it was happening speaks volumes. A grieving family gets a lot of passes during their bereavement time, so what was Jr afraid of? Big head skinny shakedown Al, who was also disrespectful, was on the stage with Jr and family the day after. Was Jr allowed to rant to move the masses a little bit? The main people upset about the politicization of the memorial seem to be from the conservative side. The lemmings never have much to say unless they're saying it on their way out the door. Conservative talking heads are using this to advance their own agendas and are coming across as if they are saying Jesse Jackson was worthy of something better. Just because PDT liked him, doesn't mean Jesse was a good man and worked for the good of anyone but himself. I hope people don't forget his true legacy.

But here in a hotel ballroom, the party’s beleaguered moderates have another message — not so fast.

Mojtaba Khamenei, born on September 8, 1969, in Mashhad, is the second son of Ali Khamenei, Iran's former supreme leader, who was killed in an Israeli strike on February 28. An 88-member Assembly of Experts named him the Islamic Republic's new supreme leader on March 8, just over a week into a fierce war with the US and Israel. Mojtaba is often described as enigmatic and, at the same time, one of the most influential figures in Iran's power corridors. He is known to have kept close links with the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which many believe calls the shots in the country.

The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson's death that made Michelle's absence on Friday all the more glaring. "Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons' kitchen table when she was a teenager," the statement read.
