MSNBC's anti-Trump morning show star Joe Scarborough turned the tables on Tuesday and slammed the 2020 Democrats for embracing "woke" positions, insisting that will lead them to "lose another election" to President Trump.
The tweetstorm began with Scarborough reacting to the news that Nike was pulling their shoes inspired by the Betsy Ross-designed American flag after former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick expressed his opposition to the design, which he thought invokes slavery.
The Betsy Ross flag is now a symbol of White Nationalism and slavery? Not defiance against a distant monarchy? Really, Nike?" Scarborough asked. "PC madness is accelerating just in time for 2020. Trump feeds on your reflexive Wokeness. Great job, everybody.
The "Morning Joe" co-host then pivoted to the Democratic candidates and reiterated the stances at last week's debates, saying they support "universal health care for illegal immigrants," "making illegal crossing America's borders legal," and "a return to forced busing" and asking them if they "now support the banning of the Betsy Ross flag from public places."
"Let me disabuse Woke Democrats of the notion that I expect them to adjust their beliefs and strategies to suit former Republicans. I don't," Scarborough continued. "But I do want them to refrain from blowing themselves up politically and re-electing Trump... But y'all be y'all and lose another election to Trump that you should have won. And start by continuing to fight those who want him beaten just as badly."
He added, "stop setting yourself on fire. Just beat Trump."

So Joe sees quite clearly at least some specific things wrong with the Democrats. He doesn't seem to see anything specific wrong with Trump. Just that horrible orange man.
Maybe Joe should reconsider his party allegiance?..

Supreme Court justice and liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Tuesday praised newly-confirmed Justice Brett Kavanugh for appointing an entirely female staff. Ginsburg spoke about her own history in the fight for gender equality to a packed auditorium at Georgetown Law School.
Ginsburg praised Kavanaugh — whose controversial confirmation was marked by allegations of sexual assault — and remarked that the court's upcoming fall term will be the first time in history that more women will be clerking than men.
"There is a very important first on the Supreme Court this term and it's thanks to our new justice, Justice Kavanaugh," Ginsburg said.

Why does a representative from NY need to tour the southern border? Good question. Publicity to keep her name in the media? She is nothing but a liar looking for the free publicity the media is giving her because she is anti-Trump. The ultimate ridiculous claim is her repeatedly saying that the women were being forced to drink from toilets. It is the same setup used at basically every jail in the United States where the drinking fountain and the toilet are one unit. They are fed by separate water lines.

The so called media refuses to report on so many issues. How about a gay reporter being targeted before a protest right in front of city hall in Portland Oregon and no police response at the time? Why do allow people to carry weapons and masks to conceal their identity? I dont care if you are the Klan or Antifa or Proud Boys. This should not be allowed. No masks, no weapons and clearly these types of protests require a police presence and when violence erupts a strong police response. Why has the media not been all over a fellow journalists being attacked to the point of brain bleed for nothing more than his ideas? Who thinks it is ok to go to a protest looking like this?

Zero tolerance strikes again: The good news is he is a card carrying member of the DNC and thinks the policy is just fine so let him be unemployed for life.
A longtime reporter for WDIV Detroit has taken to Facebook to address his termination from the station following a racial comment he made in regards to a fellow reporter. According to Kevin Dietz, he had attempted to use humor to address the "challenges it's been for our company, and many companies, to achieve diversity goals," and that his colleague, an African-American, was not offended.
While posing for a photo with the WDIV team, Dietz had said to the group, "We are probably going to have to crop the black reporter out of the photo."
Dietz, who has spent the past 26 years with WDIV-TV, an NBC-affiliated station licensed to Detroit, Michigan, said he had made the comment during a social event during the Investigative Reporters & Editors conference earlier this year in Houston.
He wrote on Facebook on Monday that he had tried to use humor to draw attention to the lack of diversity, and that the African-American reporter even went to human resources to defend Dietz.
"He expressed that we are friends, conveyed to them all the help I have given him throughout his career, and the long list of stories I have done on television fighting against racism in Michigan," Dietz shared in his post.
"Nevertheless, the station has a zero tolerance policy on racially insensitive comments and they determined, despite the intent and context of my statement, that it violated the policy," Dietz wrote. "I understand and support the need for such policies."

So the police are now formally admitting that the mayor will not allow them to protect the public from violence:
Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner echoed the condemnation of violence on city streets, but further called on the mayor to stop allowing the clashes between anti-fascist protesters (also called Antifa) and the alt-right group Proud Boys, and to “remove the handcuffs from our officers and let them stop the violence through strong and swift enforcement action.”

Statement from PPA President Daryl Turner: It doesn't matter if our citizens are democrats or republicans; no one should be attacked in the streets of our city. Good leadership means taking the reins and stepping forward to let people know when there is wrongdoing. The law is applicable no matter which side you’re on.
Where are the voices condemning the lawlessness and violence? If this violence had been directed at Antifa, there would have been an immediate call for an independent, outside investigation. This is a perfect example of Portland politics at work and why our great City is now under fire in the national news.
The Mayor, our Police Commissioner, is not allowed to use the rank and file officers of the Portland Police Bureau as a shield to deflect Portland’s negative press nationwide. As we have said before and will continue to say: Police officers work to uphold the Constitution, including the right to free speech. It’s our job to ensure that our community can peacefully protest without fear of violence but right now our hands are tied.
It’s time for our Mayor to do two things: tell both ANTIFA and Proud Boys that our City will not accept violence in our City and remove the handcuffs from our officers and let them stop the violence through strong and swift enforcement action. Enough is enough.
Daryl Turner, President Portland Police Association

The so called community:
A Tennessee woman is accused of assaulting a McDonald’s drive-thru cashier and using a stun gun on him after she became frustrated while waiting for her order.
Marquenta Glidwell allegedly attacked Jacob Jordan, 19, on Sunday at a McDonald’s in Brownsville, Tenn. In a cellphone video provided to WREG, the woman is seen reaching into the window and swiping at the man several times.
An arrest warrant issued by Brownsville Police Department obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle said that Jordan had “several burn marks and two small lacerations that caused bleeding to his throat and swelling to his eyes.”
WREG reported that the alleged attack happened because Glidwell and another customer were upset about waiting for their order and refused to stop blowing their car horn in the drive-thru.
"I said, 'Hey, I'm the manager, and you're disrespecting me and the customers behind you by laying on the horn,” Jordan told the Tenn. news station. “We can refuse to serve you because you're being disruptive.’”
Glidwell then got out of the car and allegedly assaulted him through the window. Reports suggest that the attack may have been influenced by the cashier’s race and sexuality.
The arrest warrant states that Glidwell called the cashier a “white supremacist” and “f*****” as she hit him.
According to WREG, Jordan said he’s gay and told the station “Honestly, I believe she was just trying to hurt me emotionally and physically.”
He added that Glidwell said the 19-year-old “deserved this” because he “voted for Trump,” which the teen disputed, saying he “wasn’t even old enough to vote when he ran.”
The woman is facing charges for “knowingly and willingly” committing aggravated assault. According to WBBJ-TV, she was taken into custody but has since released on a $10,000 bond. She will appear in court on July 30.
However, Jordan’s mother, Jessica Garland thinks that Glidwell should face more serious consequences.
"She needs to be charged with a hate crime because she hated my son for the color of his skin and his sexuality," she told WREG. "That's hate, and that's a hate crime to me."
Both Jacob Jordan and McDonald’s did not immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment.

I thought the left loves political comedy.
The 8-year-old child actor who went viral for impersonating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, is no longer going to make videos due to death threats and harassment she and her family have received.
Earlier this year, Ava Martinez, known as "Mini AOC," brought joy to her fans with several videos poking fun at the socialist darling, collecting millions of views on social media.
The Left's Harassment and death threats have gone too far for our family. We have been getting calls on our personal phone numbers," Martinez's stepfather Salvatore Schachter tweeted. "For our safety and for our child's safety, we deleted all Mini AOC accounts."

Sheriffs are elected by the people and are not under the direction of a mayor, city council, etc. They do the peoples will, or can be recalled...by the people, not some politician.

The so called community: Notice how you never hear black leadership discuss this all to common incident. How many young black males are killed by other young black males vs clearly bad shootings by police? Of course the so called media wont tell the truth either and of course the pattern of death will continue.
A two-year-old Texas boy was fatally shot and his father and another male were wounded in what appears to be a home invasion robbery gone bad.
According to police, Ivory West Jr. (also known as TJ), his father, and his father’s friend were sitting in the garage of their townhouse near Houston when two men approached them and began shooting.
TJ’s father was shot multiple times and taken by Life Flight medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center, where he is in critical condition.
The father’s friend was shot in the leg and is in stable condition.
Paramedics pronounced TJ dead at the scene.
“This is unacceptable,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said at a Wednesday press conference. “This is our community and when you are shooting kids … this is senseless and unacceptable. I know our community joins us in saying that this has to stop and we’ve got to get these people off the street and hold them accountable.”
“They really are crossing the line when they are out there committing these crimes,” he added. “And again we are seeing way too much gun violence, especially focused on our children. There was no reason that a 2-year-old had to be dead this morning.”
So far, the motive appears to be robbery.
“The garage door was up and maybe they were just victims of opportunity,” he said. “We will determine as we go on if there were any other motive or connection to it. The main goal is to first find out who did it.”
Gonzalez said the boy’s mother was upstairs with a 2-month-old baby and heard fireworks before the shooting.
“[Fireworks] is indeed a consistent thing we heard,” he said. “Several people heard some fireworks going on prior to the shooting. We don’t know if it was a random act or maybe some type of ploy to distract people. But there were some fireworks that went off.”
Gonzalez said after the boy’s mother heard the fireworks, she went downstairs, where she was accosted by one of the suspects who placed a gun to her head and demanded money.
“It was a very brazen attack,” said Gonzalez. “They came in guns a blazing.”

Democrats running for president have officially lost it. Beto & Castro strongly imply that the Betsy Ross flag is a symbol of hatred. Do the rest of the Dems agree? Pictured here, of course, is the notorious flag prominently featured at President Obama's 2nd inauguration,” tweeted Tim Murtaugh, director of communications for Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.

There is a very odd part of their argument that they don’t wish to discuss. It goes like this. Because of the legacy of slavery and racism of the past, the current generation of black people are somehow damaged and unable to function in society as well as others. Now there is no doubt the Is had real issues a generation ago in many parts of the country but that has been rooted out. In fact I think there is a good argument to be made that the plight of most black people was in fact better a generation ago than it is now. Until people acknowledge the devastating impact of out of wedlock childbirth and widespread absence of fathers in the so called community nothing will change. I do agree with Colin and Nike that black society is greatly damaged but I think it is self inflicted.

The so called community
Virginia authorities are not sure what prompted a 20-year-old man to allegedly stab three people at random at a plasma donation center during a Fourth of July cookout.
Jairique Shannon entered the Octapharma Plasma in Petersburg, asked to used the restroom, and then began stabbing people with a long knife, Commonwealth's Attorney Cheryl Wilson told The Associated Press.
"There's no information that he had any grudge against anyone, and at this point we don't have a motive," Wilson said.
Shannon is charged with three counts of malicious wounding and is being held at the Riverside Regional Jail.

The so called community Wisconsin police are searching for 10 young men who they say were part of a 'flash mob' group accused of stealing $30,000 in merchandise this week from a North Face outlet, all in under 30 seconds — and captured on surveillance footage.
The camera footage shows a group of men entering the store around 7:45 p.m. Monday and then abruptly scurrying through several racks of outerwear and clothing, in footage released by the Pleasant Prairie Police Department

Thanks Obama.
A group of police officers were reportedly asked to move or leave a Starbucks coffee shop on the Fourth of July because a customer felt uncomfortable.
According to a tweet from the Tempe Officers Association, six Tempe Police Department officers were drinking coffee before their shift at the Starbucks near Scottsdale and McKellips roads when a barista told them a customer "did not feel safe" by their presence.
The barista allegedly asked the officers to move out of the customer's line of sight or to leave, the tweet states.
"This treatment of public safety workers could not be more disheartening. While the barista was polite, making such a request at all was offensive. Unfortunately, such treatment has become all too common in 2019," the organization wrote. "We know this is not a national policy at Starbucks Corporate and we look forward to working collaboratively with them on this important dialogue."
