It’s time for slavery reparations - - paid for by the African nations who sold their kin to the America’s, and the Democrat party whose ancestors bought them.

“If the pResident can start handing out tax payer money without congress, then there’s no need to even pretend this is still the USA.”

The stolen election tells you that. Unlike Republicans, Dems push ever advantage to the limit. This time, there is no stopping them.

No reparations.

I have a friend who came to America as a Vietnamese refugee with no money and not knowing any English. Ten years later he had a college degree, was married with two kids, and owned his own home and a couple of cars.

I have another friend who escaped from Pol Pot with her family by trekking through the jungle, a journey on which her mother died. My friend had no money, no English, a little bit of French. The family worked hard at whatever jobs they could find, pooled their resources and within six years they owned their own home and three or four rental units.

We have American people who have not suffered privation as these Southeast Asian immigrants have. Yet these Americans demand payment for privation which they themselves haven't suffered. Disgusting.

No reparations. Period.

I have been agreement with that for a long time. We had a great run, but it’s time to split this country and preserve what precious little Constitutional freedoms are left.

“Smart and serious and powerful people need to be thinking of a way to split this thing up as peacefully as we can. This current setup will end very badly.”

The left is in power and doesn’t think that will change in the near future. They are itching for this to end badly. They so dearly want to turn the military and police forces on conservatives. It would demonstrate their power, stop future rebellion, and if they get their way, kill more than a few conservatives.

With slave labor, poor southern whites were the real losers.

Sept 2019, BEFORE Biden and the lefty Dems’ comrades in communist China intentionally allowed the virus to get here and spread like wildfire, and BEFORE the anarcho-communist ANTIFA and (also communist) so-called “Black Lives Matter” -led rioting, fires, looting, and attacks on police...

Sept 2019: New York (CNN Business) - Black unemployment fell to a record low in August [2019], helped by a jump in the number of black women on the job. The unemployment rate for black workers fell to 5.5% from 6%, according to the Labor Department data.

The previous record low of 5.9% was set in May 2018. The unemployment rate for black women fell to a record 4.4% from 5.2% in July. The unemployment rate for black men crept up to 5.9% from 5.8%. But the previous month’s rate was a record, so the rate is still near its historic low.

Unemployment among workers who identify themselves as Hispanic or Latino also fell in August to 4.2%, which matched a record low set earlier this year. ....”

The record low unemployment rate for African-Americans is undeniably good news, said Valerie Wilson, director of the program on race, ethnicity and the economy for the Economic Policy Institute. ....”

—Chris Isidore, CNN Business, September 6, 2019
__________________________________________

CNN analyst [black, open communist] Van Jones told Democrats to “wake up” Tuesday night because President Donald Trump is “effective” in “going after enough black votes to cause us problems.” “What he was saying to African-Americans can be effective,” Jones told a CNN panel following Trump’s State of the Union address.

“You may not like it but he mentioned HBCUs [Historic Black Colleges and Universities]: black colleges have been struggling for a long time, a bunch of them have gone under, he threw a lifeline to them in real life in his budget.

He talked about this. He talked about criminal justice reform. He talked about Opportunity Zones.” ...”

“I think what you’re going to see him do, you may not like my rhetoric, but look at my results and my record for black people. If he narrow casts that, it’s going to be effective,” he said. ...”

The CNN analyst, who has praised Trump in the past for criminal justice reform, said Democrats cannot afford to underrate Trump’s ability to attract non-white voters. In Tuesday’s address, Trump cited black unemployment numbers that are the lowest ever recorded.

A recent Gallup poll also revealed that satisfaction with “race relations” has jumped 14% since Trump took office.”

First Step Act

“Americans from across the political spectrum can unite around prison reform legislation that will reduce crime while giving our fellow citizens a chance at redemption.”

—President Donald J. Trump

_______________________

ACHIEVING GROUNDBREAKING REFORM:

The landmark First Step Act enacted commonsense criminal justice reform that is helping prisoners gain a new lease on life and is making America safer.

In December 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the First Step Act, marking the first major reforms to our criminal justice system in over a decade.

The First Step Act enacted commonsense reforms to make our justice system fairer and help inmates successfully transition back into society.

President Trump remains committed to building on this success and continuing the great work achieved by this legislation. ...”

Americans’ accumulated retirement accounts are about equal in size to the total Federal Debt — I’ve speculated for years that the Dems would seize those assets to clean up the debt. Then say, “That’s mostly racist savings, anyway - so it’s OK....”

New Election, Paper Ballots only, Voter ID, only USA Citizens, Poll watchers, one day election, certified count within 24 hours, etc.

If you have a military coup then why bother with all this?

The same Dems who said President Trump could not direct approved national security funds to help build the Wall, will now have no problem when Biden diverts billions to “reparations” from programs that are in no way connected.

New York Times BEFORE Biden was their last desperate resort! ....


New York Times, June 25, 2019:

‘Lock the ____s Up’: Joe Biden and the Era of Mass Incarceration

He now plays down his role overhauling crime laws with segregationist senators in the ’80s and ’90s. That portrayal today is at odds with his actions and rhetoric back then. ....”

“In 1989, with the violent crime rate continuing to rise as it had since the 1970s, Mr. Biden lamented that the Republican president, George H. W. Bush, was not doing enough to put “violent thugs” in prison. In 1993, he warned of “predators on our streets.”

And in a 1994 Senate floor speech, he likened himself to another Republican president: “Every time Richard Nixon, when he was running in 1972, would say, ‘Law and order,’ the Democratic match or response was, ‘Law and order with justice’ — whatever that meant. And I would say, ‘Lock the ____s up.’” ...”
