Earlier this week, a 13-year-old kid named Coreco JaQuan Pearson sat down in front of a camera in the kitchen of his home in Grovetown, Ga. CJ had a lot on his mind: the 14-year-old Muslim student invited to the White House after he was wrongly arrested for building a clock thought to be a bomb; the young woman allegedly shot by an undocumented immigrant in San Francisco; the four Marines gunned down in Chattanooga over the summer; the Black Lives Matter movement.
President Obama, CJ feared, didnt have his White House in order. It was a lot to distill into a short message one that would catch fire among CJs 35,000 Twitter followers and large YouTube audience. But CJ was determined to make this quick and needed little more than two minutes to make his point.
Mr. President, he began, speaking with a Southern twang. When Kate Steinle was gunned down by an illegal immigrant, you didnt do anything. You didnt even call the family. You didnt invite them to the White House. Is that okay? I dont think so, Mr. President.
Twenty seconds had gone by but CJ was just getting warmed up.
When cops are being gunned down, you dont invite their family to the White House, he said. You never did.
This was just the set-up. Then came the punch.
When a Muslim kid builds a clock? CJ said. Well, come on by. What is this world that you are living in?
As smoothly as a seasoned commentator three or four times his age, CJ then pivoted. He pointed out that it took Obama longer to lower the White House flags to half-staff than it did to light 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. with rainbow colors after the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage.

Props to CJ.
I’d like to put $50 in his college fund.
Ping.
I saw this kid speak at the GA GOP State Convention. I just thought he was going to be a nice kid to say a couple of words to introduce the minority outreach before Ted Cruz (a surprise drop in guest) showed up.
I was wrong. This kid was dynamic. It was like watching a polished adult speaker in a kid’s body. I opined allowed that his parents must be really proud of him. It turned out that his parents were at my table.
(Meanwhile, outside a parade of middle-aged bleached UGA protesters were parading in front of our window on behalf of expanding state Medicaid. The juxtaposition was hilarious.)
Obviously he is “acting white”.
He must not be “Down for the Struggle!”
He must be endeavoring to become a man, an American man.
Oh, the audacity of his hope!
If
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, dont deal in lies,
Or being hated, dont give way to hating,
And yet dont look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dreamand not make dreams your master;
If you can thinkand not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth youve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: Hold on!
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kingsnor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it,
Andwhich is moreyoull be a Man, my son!
GO FOR IT!
Semper Fi!
Basically,
Obama is saying “Muslims should be able to bring bomb-looking objects into public places”.
yes, very impressive......
CJ for president. Better than what we have. (That could be his or anyone’s campaign slogan)
I also viewed the video this young man posted, a fine example of an American teen who is concerned and is also intelligent enough to not succumb to the bias in media. Very refreshing !
Over at the WaPo comments the liberals are crucifying the young man. He needs to get reeducated or that is one black life that doesn’t matter; acting too white.
A Black Alex P. Keaton, love it.
535 members of congress and not one with nearly as much sense or moral compass as this kid. Perhaps this isn’t a nation under God any more.
A white kid would have gone to jail for making a timing component for a bomb. A Muslim kid gets a free trip to the White House for proving he can make a timer. This is the world we live in. What does that say about the current White House occupant or our government for that matter?
Obama sticks up for Muslims... This should come as no surprise.
Typical libtard responses at the Washington Compost...
CJ in ‘36 (hope I’m still alive then)
Go CJ! Did the parents have any comment after you said that?
I’ve seen this kid on Fox and Friends a time or two. He has a tremendously bright future ahead of him, whatever he ends up doing.
Amen CJ...you rock kid. Tell ‘em like it is!
