Here are my observations and opinions on my selected news of the day.
ONCE AGAIN, President Trump took to Twitter to respond to a critic. You may still wonder why he does that, but if he didn’t the American public just might consider the critic’s remarks true. The president knows that the media will not support him.
CUMMINGS UNHINGED (mblackconservatives.com)
When Rep. Elijah Cummings sounded off about conditions on the Southern Border and insulted members of the Border Patrol, the president referred to Cummings as “a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border,” and suggested that Cumming’s “Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA.”
The president followed with a series of Tweets about Baltimore, suggesting that he spend more time there “for his very poor, and dangerous and very badly run district.”
AS EXPECTED, Cummings and the Democrat presidential candidates have played the race card, because Cummings is black and much of the dismal city of Baltimore is home to blacks.
Is painting Trump a racist the fall back for the party’s failure to pin him with collusion and obstruction of justice?
SANDERS VISITS THIRD WORLD COUNTRY (nbcnewswashington.com)
Never mind that Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders while campaigning in Baltimore in 2016 compared the city to a “third world country” while touring one of the city’s neighborhoods. He is shown surrounded by nodding blacks in the news clips. Sanders later tweeted, “Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people under a dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.”
Even left-leaning Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday, played the race card during his interview with Trump’s chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, using the Democrat talking points … “racial stereotyping” … “black congressman” … “black district” … and finally, “no human being would want to live there. Is he saying that people who live in Baltimore are not human beings?”
Mulvaney put Wallace in his place after stating, “I think the president is right to raise that. It has absolutely zero to do with race.”
No surprise, black activist Al Sharpton “swooped in to save Baltimore from Trump,” writes Jim Treacher.
It’s difficult for me to take Sharpton seriously. His racist comments about white people are well known.
Trump has the right to be critical of people’s words and actions, and is often critical of white people as well – – Clinton, Brennan, Comey, Sessions, Biden – to name a few.
THE ISSUE ISN’T RACISM – Kramerontheright has frequently cited the pathetic cities run by Democrats. For example, the top 10 most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report.
The overwhelming majority of the cities are located in states governed by Democrat governors, and the people in those cities are represented largely by Democrats. Each of the cities have a higher unemployment that the national average.
Democrats have governed Baltimore for more than four decades. Chicago hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1931, Philadelphia not since 1952, Detroit not since 1962, San Francisco not since 1964, and Washington DC has never had a Republican mayor.
Democrats have run Los Angeles in all but eight of the past 58 years, in New York all but eight in the past 74 years and in Cleveland, all but 16 of the past 78 years.
MUCH AS BEEN SAID about how Americans are depending more on social media – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram – for their news. I learned that only about 22 percent of U.S. adults are on Twitter, and 80 percent of the tweets come from just 10 percent of users. Data shows that you are being informed by wannabe journalists residing within just 2.2 percent of the population.
I understand their reluctance to believe the “news” published by the likes of The New York Times and The Washington Post and the over-the-top coverage on networks like CNN and MSNBC, but I’m concerned that they are being informed by writers with few, if any, credentials. “A millennial sitting at his laptop in his pajamas,” someone recently jokingly said.
Kramerontheright.com can be found on the Internet, which some consider part of the social media communications realm. My content comes from a variety of sources, which I always credit. I frequently add my opinion, but my subscribers or occasional readers know who I am because my credentials can be viewed by simply clicking on my name at the top of my website.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
