LAUGH-OF-THE-DAY gets priority placement.  It comes from this headline of the leftist Microsoft News: “Joe Biden Gets the Coveted Jeff Flake Endorsement.”   “Coveted?” C’mon, man. Flake is a forgotten man in Arizona

TOWNHALL reminds us that with the obsession of the Democrats to impeach President Trump, you would have thought it would at least be mentioned in one of the anti-Trump speeches at the DNC convention. 

Michael Tracy Tweeted @mtracey: “Frantically portrayed as of earth-shattering, world-historical importance at the time, but apparently didn’t even warrant a mention.”

I agree with Tracey; with all of their false statements of the man they say is not up to the job of president, it’s something they now seem to want to forget.  Could it be that they were busy trying to bring the president down while he was dealing with the virus outbreak?

IT’S NOT A TIME TO GET COMPLACENT, but CNN’s latest poll revealed a 21-point shift away from Biden among non-white voters after he picked Kamala Harris as his running mate.

And, Rasmussen Reports that President Trump moved up to 51 percent from 47 percent after the Dems brought out their big guns – Michelle and Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden and Harris to speak.

THE CLINCHER – Appearing on ABC News Sunday, Joe Biden said he would lock down the country it if science told him to do so.  “I would shut it down,” he told anchor David Muir, “I would listen to the scientists.”

“Joe Biden might have paved the way for the Democrat Party to be totally screwed in 2020,” wrote Matt Vespa in Townhall. “He’s for torching the economy via lockdowns if the scientists recommend it.”

And, if it isn’t bad enough that Biden would repeal Trump’s tax cuts, he also told Muir that he would raise taxes on those earning more than $400,000.  He wants them to pay their fair share.  That’s right out of the Obama playbook. He pitched this class warfare agenda in his 2012 State of the Union Address.  And haven’t we heard that “fair share” nonsense from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders?

IN PENNSYLVANIA “People are less likely to talk about who they support on the record for a variety of reasons – it’s personal possible backlash, and the impact their voting choice may have on their family, personal, and professional lives,” writes Salena Zito, the excellent grassroots journalist, in the Washington Examiner.

“Nowhere do people get more excited for a visit from President Trump than northeast Pennsylvania,” commented Jim Bognet, a Republican candidate for the House.  “He has brought about an unparalleled boom for the region, built the best economy in memory, and will do it again.  President Trump delivered for northeast Pennsylvania, and we will deliver a win Pennsylvania in November.”

COULD SHE BE RIGHT? – When a quote surfaced of Kamala Harris saying “18 to 24 -year-olds are stupid,” it quickly circulated in the social media, but Campus Reform learned that most of the college students in that age group thought that President Trump had said it, and had to be told it was actually Harris, who said it.

WITH NO EMBARASSMENT, two college professors – Abby Rombalski of the University of Minnesota, and Anita Chikkatur of Carleton College – writing in MinnPost, say that white parents should “keep their kids in public schools to show they aren’t racist.”

“White America owes black students a large educational debt, and funding public schools is one part of paying back that debt.

“Well-resourced, culturally relevant public schools are an important facet of society that values black lives and other people of color.  Leaning into our local public school is an anti-racist move to support schools through enrollment, advocacy, and community building.”

That sounds so profound, but research shows that in Minnesota, one of the most generous states in the nation with regard to funding of districts with high populations of low-income students and students of color, the state’s public school system has failed to meet the educational needs of these student populations for decades, according to John Hinderaker in PowerLine.

Black public school children in Mississippi, despite far less spending on education, are significantly outperforming black students in Minnesota, and performance of black children in Minnesota is getting worse.

“Shamefully,” writes Hinderaker, “some union zealots and establishment figures are trying to prevent parents from responding appropriately to their abandonment of the public school system.”

President Trump, to the dismay of the teachers’ unions, continues to promote school choice for low-income students stuck in underperforming public schools.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
