[The Democrats' damage and destruction to America's black population reaches back to ante-bellum years. In recent decades they have turned their tender mercies for our African-American neighbors onto cynical avenues that have laid waste to black families and the communities in which they live. Under decades of Democrat rule we can echo the question asked by an enlightened black candidate for Congress – name any city in which life for blacks has improved over the last, say, forty years. About all this our leftwingers respond with crickets. Here is a campaign video that spells it out. (H/T to reader) gjr]

I was half watching the GV City Council meeting tonight when this caught my attention. Mind you this meeting was being held remotely with Councilmembers Hodge and Levine attending via Zoom, or whatever app they use, Councilmembers Arbukle, Aguilar and Swarthout were in council chambers and city staff in various offices. All were visible on screen in little boxes..
After prefunctory comments, Mayor Swarthout asked all to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. While everyone could be seen standing up, Hodge did not move to stand up, but did reach towards her computer and her video feed went off. After the Pledge was repeated, all sat down and Hodge’s video feed came back on, showing her sitting in front of the screen.
Did she shut off her video feed because she would not repeat the Pledge of Allegiance? You can view this online. Any ideas or comments?

Trump will run up 7 Trillion dollars in debt in his four years, am all time record, and we don’t practice anything like free trade under Trump. The Tea Party has virtually disappeared. Sad.
Here’s documentation for by debt numbers
“When Trump took office in January 2017, the debt was at $19.9 trillion. As of July 27, according to the most recently available data, that number has grown to $26.5 trillion, Treasury Direct, a division of the Treasury Department, said. ”

So Punchy, when Trump said it would be over in 15 days, did you know the WHO had just said the same thing after consulting with the Chinese Communist Party. Only what the CCP said to the experts counted as the gospel truth, lol.
Remember when Trump went plumb loco and shut down the travel to China and everybody, including Joe Biden and our European allies, said a shutdown of international travel was xenophobic of Trump. Glad a Trump took the bold step amidst much criticism the moment he found out that the WHO was in the pocket of the Commie Bastards and that indeed the WHO lied to the whole world because they had previously stated that the virus does not spread from human to human.
Ole Joe Biden called Trump wrong for that ‘xenophobic’ travel restrictions from China (with the exception of 60,000 US Citizens, Chinese-Americans and their spouses, and those with green cards that we helped to get out). Biden said he would not have done that, Pelosi said come on downto Frisco and join in the Chinese New Year celebrations and don’t listen to that racist Trump, and NYC was open to have a wonderful Chinese New Year Celbrstions and celebrations of our diversity, unlike that racist Trump.
So Punchie, your homework tonight is
1)to follow the timeline when the WHO and other experts said the virus might just be a Nothingburger and just might go away like poof and the date Trump repeated the words of the world’s experts at the time.
2) tell us all how Trump bobbled the ball and what the Demorats would have done differently. We know from their own words they would have opposed international travel restrictions, try to blame the virus on Italy and parts of Europe as well as Dem governors order the elderly coming out of the hospital to go back to the nursing homes without a C-19 test. Great ideas the Dems have come up with. Party down in China Town, people.
BTW, if a person (grandma) is already in a extended care or nursing home facility, their health and strength ain’t very good to start with. Some, like me, call it end of life care.

“The authoritarian left isn’t content just to block speech it disagrees with. It also wants to force people into making leftist utterances and gestures.
Today, at various restaurants in Washington, D.C, BLM protesters demanded that diners eating outdoors raise their fists in support. Most diners did — this is Washington — but a few did not. Those who did not were berated.
The mob chanted “white silence is violence” at them. The statement is stupid and obviously false. If the BLM mob wants, nonetheless, to chant it, that’s fine. But not in the faces of people who are simply trying to eat dinner.
I agree with Bari Weiss, who was recently “cancelled” by the New York Times because her writings didn’t track leftist orthodoxy. She described the BLM mob’s behavior as “vile and un-American.”…..
