#1  Carter did not have billions (with a B, that's how much the IT, banking/finance, education, entertainment, and public employee industries + the Saudis have given to Clinton) backing him up.

#3  Carter was the first President in how long to not get a second term? Everyone knew he was tool and even the left couldn't/wouldn't defend him. He was so horribly bad even his VP got crushed 4 years later.

Lamont Hill: Just Because Poor Cities Are Run by Democrats, Doesn't Mean Democrats Are to Blame
[News Busters] On Wednesday's CNN New Day, Chris Cuomo brought on CNN commentator, author and host of BET News Marc Lamont Hill and former Secret Service agent and current candidate for congress in Florida Dan Bongino, to discuss Trump polling poorly with African-Americans. While Bongino argued that democrat run cities have failed black communities, Lamont Hill claimed that poverty and Democrat machines are connected, but that "doesn't mean" being a Democrat makes you poor.

After Cuomo brought up a new ABC News/WSJ poll that predicted only one percent of blacks would vote for Trump, he asked Bongino why Trump was unable to make the case to blacks that their Democrat-run communities would only keep them in poverty. Bongino responded:

DAN BONGINO: Yeah, you know, Chris, this is one of the great mysteries of my life. If I was granted omnipotence by the Lord tomorrow to change one thing, it would be to be able to walk into the black community and largely in inner cities and say, please, look at what's happening here. I mean, these communities have been ruled monopolistically by far left big government liberals for decades. In some cases since the '20s and '30s. These communities have been driven into the ground. I mean, you don't have to be a scientist to look at the evidence, the correlational evidence right in front of you. Liberalism correlates with poverty and high crime every single place it's been tried. Yet, you have some members of the black community which support the democratic party, which continues to bankrupt them. I wish I could change it. I wish the Trump campaign could as well.

Marc Lamont Hill took offense to that, wincing then claiming there was "[N]othing far left about Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia," at which Bongino, flabbergasted, asked, "What?"

Trump Beginning To Meet Viguerie's Foolproof Test
However, since he began to the think about running for President, and once he announced, he has walked mostly with people from the right-of-center, from Senator Jeff Sessions, to Jerry Falwell, Jr., to conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly, to his National Co-Chairman Sam Clovis and economic advisors Steve Moore and Larry Kudlow, Trump's major supporters and many of his inner circle have been from the conservative movement.

Now, the hiring of Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager and Steve Bannon as chief executive of the campaign brought two more movement conservatives into the leadership of Trump’s campaign.

Donald Trump’s recent economic speech, his national security speech and his law and order speech in Wisconsin were full of sound conservative policy prescriptions and were reflective of a strong conservative governing philosophy.

Most importantly, through the ups and downs of his campaign, contrary to the conventional wisdom espoused by the DC political class and the establishment media, Trump has not "moved to the center," but marched steadily to the right.

With Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon at the top of the campaign, Mike Pence as Vice President and Senator Jeff Sessions at Donald Trump's side, the Trump campaign is shaping up to be the most ideological campaign since Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign against Jimmy Carter.
But perhaps not the most successful ideological campaign...

Home Front: Culture Wars
Cal Thomas: Hard truths about inner-city dysfunction
BLUF: [Wash Times] In an appearance Monday on Fox, Sheriff Clarke, who is African-American, offered his explanation for the major cause of riots in Milwaukee and other cities: "You know what encourages this? The growth of the welfare state. These are underclass behaviors. Seventy percent of the kids born in Milwaukee are born without an engaged father in their life. So I look at the progressive policies that have marginalized black dads. They push them to the side and say ’you’re not needed.’ Uncle Sam is going to be the dad, he’s going to provide for the kids, he’s going to feed the kids . Uncle Sam has been a horrible father. Uncle Sam does not love these kids. He might keep a little food in their mouths and that is about it. But we all know the importance of an intact family, what it can do to shape the behavior of kids."

Sheriff Clarke called progressive policies "a total disaster," not only in Milwaukee, but in Chicago, Baltimore, New York and elsewhere. "These progressive policies have hit the black community like a nuclear blast and until we reverse this government dependency, that’s what creates all of this and it encourages it by the way, along with some questionable lifestyle choices."

#4  "Underclass"? Clearly the good sheriff has studied his Sowell and Dalrymple. Thomas Sowell in 2001:

A recently published book titled Life at the Bottom paints a brilliantly insightful, but very painful, picture of the underclass -- its emptiness, agonies, violence and moral squalor. This book is about a British underclass neighborhood where its author, Theodore Dalrymple, works as a doctor. That may in fact make its message easier for many Americans to understand and accept.

Most of the people that Dalrymple writes about are white, so it may be possible at last to take an honest look at the causes and consequences of an underclass lifestyle, without fear of being called "racist." The people who are doing the same socially destructive and self-destructive things that are being done in underclass neighborhoods in the United States cannot claim that it is because their ancestors were enslaved or because they face racial discrimination.


Life At The Bottom is currently on sale in kindle form at Amazon for $3.99. Highly recommended.

Nashville Sheriff To Force All New Hires Thru “Islam 101” Course, Taught by Muslims
[CreepingSharia] Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall says he wants jail guards to better understand the practices and beliefs of Muslim inmates. So he has accepted a request from local Muslim leaders to teach "Islam 101" classes for jail staff, and he plans to hire a part-time advocate as a go-between with inmates.

Does Hall want his staff to understand stonings, amputations, beheadings and other "practices and beliefs" of Muslims? Or the whitewashed version of sharia that Islamic supremacists will sell him for a nice price?

Hall’s moves follow a recent sit-down meeting with highly influential Islamic leaders. And they come at a time when the Muslim community is growing, along with their presence inside county jails.

"Let me be very blunt about it: We need a much better understanding in law enforcement, in this country, in this city, anywhere, to understand the various cultural issues," Hall said in opening the July 12 meeting. "We need help understanding what the sensitivities about various religious and other aspects are so we’re not stomping all over what is a very precious feeling."

#1  Why have such a course if Muslims are some of the most peace-loving people who follow the religion of peace and tolerance? Total PC B.S. Go catch a terrorist or criminal. Nashville has a large Kurdish, Hispanic, and African-American population. You going to follow up with Kurd 101, Hispanic 101 and African-Americsn 101? If things get slow you can follow up with Aleutian Island Indian 101.

#2  and he plans to hire a part-time advocate as a go-between with inmates.

Lovely! A bargaining unit is formed.

#4  Will he also set up classes in Catholicism 101 for the Hispanics?

I didn't think so.

#5  Middle Tennessee, Nashville/Murfreesboro have a Iraqi and Somali problem. Prison Imams and NoI have been radicalizing inmates in jails down there for awhile. The Somalis and Iraqis live in Tennessee, but hate Tennesseeans...funny how that happens. Hall is a fool.

#12  Subject: Sharia Law 101.

#13  Just ship them in small batches to certain remote towns in Tennessee. The locals will contact you when ready for the next batch.
