A LIE ON THE LEFT THAT NEEDS TO BE KILLED, once and for all. With Barack Hussein Obama out there campaigning for ole Joe Biden, he’s still trying to salvage his legacy, even if it’s with a pack of lies.
With Obama now peddling the same myth (lie) that Biden has been trying to feed us, that the Obama-Biden team left the economy in good shape and that President Trump “has squandered it,” I believe it’s time to drive a spike through the lie.
First, let’s recall that on the eve of the 2016 election, New York Times economist Paul Krugman predicted that if Trump won, the economy would never recover. However, the stock market soared by 700 points the morning after Trump’s victory, and it has been generally climbing ever since, even through the pandemic. Optimism among small business owners surged.
Family incomes rose to record high levels in Trump’s first three years. The deregulation and tax cuts he promised fueled the economy. In those three years middle income individuals gained more than during the eight years of Obama-Biden. Median earnings for men rose 11 percent more from 2017 to 2019 under Trump’s policies than during the previous eight years.
Attention: Women Voters
“Incredibly, earnings for women rose 42 percent more in 2019 alone than in seven years during the entire Obama-Biden recovery.” – Wall Street Journal, November 2, 2020
Biden is taking credit as Obama’s point man during their recovery. He would have the auto workers in Detroit believe that he saved the U.S. auto industry single-handed. I keep wondering why he would want to take credit for the slowest post-recession recovery in history?
Their $800 billion stimulus left our unemployment numbers higher every year. The green energy jobs promised then never materialized, but Biden is now promising them again with $2 trillion in clean energy subsidies. Fool me once …
Biden predicted a growth of four percent then, but we barely averaged two percent. In the last year of Obama-Biden, our growth slipped to 1.6 percent.
In case you missed it. We just experienced a record 33.1 percent growth in GDP.
And President Trump is promising us that “the best is yet to come.”
ANOTHER MYTH THAT NEEDS to be debunked is the accusation that “systemic racism” exists in the United States.
The terms, “systemic racism” and “white privilege” are used repeatedly by Democrats. It’s their tactic to persuade minorities to feel oppressed and victimized.
During a recent appearance of economist Thomas Sowell, he expressed the belief that “systemic racism” has “no meaning,” and added that he didn’t think the people who use it “have a clear idea what they’re saying.”
Sowell was born to a poor family in North Carolina before moving to Harlem, New York, and ultimately earning degrees from Harvard, Columbia and the University of Chicago.
Who better to comment on this topic that Sowell, who has written about race and perceived racial disparity in several of the books he has authored?
Leave it to leftist Center for American Progress, to use the term within hours of George Floyd’s killing at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, stating that it “laid bare once again with stark clarity the entrenched systemic racism that pervades American life.”
White House national security advisor Robert O’Brien denied that there was any systemic racism in America’s police departments.
“What is transpiring is not systemic racism,” wrote Sylvia Thompson in American Thinker, “but rather a skillful manipulation of poorly educated (including some who have college degrees), resentful American blacks, who are oblivious to being used.”
“For quite some time now, Democrats have force-fed a false narrative to Americans,” wrote Gabrielle Seunagal in USAHerald.com. “That false narrative asserts that the United States is just overflowing with supposed “systemic racism,” citing it as “the longest running con in United States history. In America, there is no such thing as “systemic racism.”
In his recent Arizona Republic column, left-leaning E. J. Montini, who never passes up a chance to criticize President Trump, accused him of using his endorsements by police unions, “flashing images of the Thin Blue Line flag, meant to support law enforcement, at his rallies.”
“It’s his way of spreading division, his way of demonizing social justice movements like Black Lives Matter,” Montini wrote. “His way of inflaming people against law enforcement.” It’s obvious that Montini chooses to ignore the goals of the BLM movement.
If you are interested in reading facts about policing, I recommend you read, “7 Statistics that show that ‘systemic racism‘ doesn’t exist in policing,” a piece by Aaron Bandler in the DailyWire.com. In addition, Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute’s, “The Myth of Systemic Police Racism,” a June 2020 op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
IT’S ONLY SUPPRESSION WHEN DEMOCRATS SAY SO – Perhaps you saw Biden apologist James Clyburn (D-SC) asserting voter suppression Sunday. The only way Biden could lose the election would be “for voter suppression to be successful,” he said.
Clyburn stated “some voters here in South Carolina are not going to be allowed to vote simply because the postal service has been cut by the postmaster general.”
When Fox News Channel’s Martha MacCallum pushed back and reminded Clyburn that “you’ve had absentee ballots available for months.” And when she suggested that voters can “just walk right up (to a voter drop box) and put it in the box,” he claimed his state didn’t have them. S.C. counties have set up stations for people to drop off ballots.
REMEMBER WHEN Republicans charged voter intimidation in 2008, when New Black Panther members stood in front of a Philadelphia voting location, dressed in black and carrying clubs?

Barack Hussein Obama’s attorney general Eric Holder ordered the DOJ to drop the case. On July 6, 2010, former DOJ official J. Christian Adams, testifying before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, stated that attorney’s in the civil rights division were instructed to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.
When questioned about this during a House oversight committee hearing, Holder visibly took personal offense, citing cases of right to vote struggles for blacks in the 1960s.
PONDER THIS – Those who vote for Biden-Harris, because they hate Donald Trump, may end up wondering if it was worth it. But then it will be too late, won’t it?
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
