Asked whether he would endorse President Trump, Black Entertainment Television founder Robert Johnson said Wednesday he will stick with the current president rather than take a chance on how Biden might govern. "Where I come out as a businessman, I will take the devil I know over the devil I don't know anytime of the week," he said in an interview Wednesday with CNBC. "I absolutely do not know what a President Biden would do," he continued. "I haven't heard anything coherent about what he said he'd do." Johnson noted that blacks have consistently voted about 90% for Democrats. "But...

The current conventional wisdom is that 2020 will shatter previous election turnout numbers. This narrative is largely being claimed by progressive academics and journalists who have (correctly) observed that absentee, vote by mail ballot ("VBM") requests and returns have been off the charts this year, with Democrats "out-requesting" VBM by a 2 to 1 margin. Au contraire, a look at the numbers and a little logical thinking suggest that 2020 will have the LOWEST turnout in a generation. Consider the following: 1) There is ZERO evidence that black voters will turn out in AVERAGE numbers, let alone RECORD numbers. I...

The White House said Friday that President Donald Trump was suffering “mild symptoms” of COVID-19, adding that he was in good spirits and working in the family quarters though the announcement of his illness threw the country deeper into uncertainty just a month before the presidential election. The revelation came in a Trump tweet about 1 a.m. after he had returned from an afternoon political fundraiser without telling the crowd he had been exposed to an aide with the disease that has killed more than 205,000 Americans and more than a million people worldwide. First lady Melania Trump also tested...

Trump Got Covid Because He Never Stopped Working For the American People. Anyone can avoid Covid by staying inside, not going to work, not meeting with people, never taking any chances. But a President, like a doctor, nurse, fireman, policeman, EMT, or anyone who wants to contribute to society and can't do it online, has to take the risk of getting Covid. Trump took the risk because the President can't stay in a basement, he has to lead the country. That's what Trump did by having a press conference every day in April and May. For 50 consecutive days he...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said President Donald Trump’s frequent flouting and dismissal of COVID-19 health guidelines “was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen,” after the president announced early Friday that he tested positive for the virus. “This is tragic. It’s very sad. But it also is something that, again, going into crowds unmasked and all the rest was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen,” she said on MSNBC Friday. Pelosi said she prayed for Trump and his family, and hoped that, for those who continue to doubt the gravity...

Well, that didn’t take long! Less than 12 hours after President Trump’s public announcement of his China coronavirus diagnosis, The New York Times is suggesting President Trump should immediately withdraw from the 2020 race. They want him gone.

No kidding. In an op-ed headlined “The Truth About Today’s Anarchists,” New York Timed editorial board member Farah Stockman unveils her epiphany about the nature and aims of the people burning down America’s cities over the last four months. She links to the reporting done by photographer Jeremy Lee Quinn, who began to suspect from the first moments of unrest that the riots and looting were not, as many assumed, simply spontaneous outbursts of anger over oppression catalyzed by the death of George Floyd. Instead, Quinn found that the violence and looting were planned, strategically deployed, and had little...

“I’ve condemned them in the past,” Donald Trump told Sean Hannity last night, calling the issue from the debate “fake news.” It’s not so fake that Trump’s debate response didn’t require a clean-up, however, and Trump went to his biggest ally in the cable-news firmament to conduct it.“Let me be clear again,” Trump declared: President Trump explicitly denounced white supremacists in a Thursday night interview, after facing a number of questions in recent days for his controversial comments on the far-right “Proud Boys” group during the first presidential debate.“I’ve said it many times, and let me be clear again:...

But probably not for long. CNN and the Washington Post settled with Nicholas Sandmann over his libel claim rather than attempt to defend their reporting on the March for Life confrontation with activist Nathan Phillips, and especially their subsequent defamatory commentary even after the full context of that confrontation became clear. Other news outlets have played out the string, hoping to find a way to shortcut the need to start writing checks to the teenager and his high-powered attorney, Lin Wood.That strategy looks like it has expired, as Wood announced yesterday afternoon: Motions to Dismiss @N1ckSandmann defamation lawsuits filed...
