Lib Media Ignores Biggest Convention Story: Trump’s Aggressive Outreach To Black Voters

By I & I Editorial Board

If Kim Klacik were a Democrat, she would be the talk of the town. An inspiring, energetic, fresh face on the political scene who has produced one of the best political ads in memory. Instead, her talk at the Republican convention was ignored by the press, which thought the biggest story coming out of the GOP meeting was that biased “fact checkers” (who were apparently on a week-long vacation during the Democrats’ convention) were able to come up with a long list of things they could complain about.

There’s a good reason for the media to ignore Klacik. Her message. It’s simple and direct: “Joe Biden believes we can’t think for ourselves, that the color of someone’s skin dictates their political views. We’re not buying the lies anymore.”

In her campaign ad, she is seen walking through burned out, decrepit Baltimore neighborhoods while reminding viewers that Democrats have run the city for five decades.

Other minority speakers echoed this message in the first two nights of the convention — that Democrats don’t care about black people, just their votes. Several quoted Biden’s comments about blacks being monolithic and how they “ain’t black” if they support Trump. They talked about Trump’s justice reform bill and his support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities — something few Americans probably know anything about.

Democratic Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, who’s endorsed Trump, put it this way:

“The Democratic Party does not want black people to leave the mental plantation they’ve had us on for decades.”

He went on to say: “But I have news for them: We are free people with free minds. I am part of a large and growing segment of the black community who are independent thinkers. And we believe that Donald Trump is the president that America needs to lead us forward.”

Jones added that Trump “delivered historic funding to HBCUs and he guaranteed it for 10 years. Something that has never happened in the history of this country. That gave our HBCUs stability, the chance to grow and produce the next generation of black leaders. That’s right. Donald Trump did that.”

Jones was a dramatic contrast to the doddering, old and almost entirely white group of Republicans that Biden was able to seduce to his convention. Where was the fawning press coverage about how brave Jones was to suffer vicious attacks and cross the aisle for something he believes in? Tell us if you find such a story.

The New York Times, in fact, dismissed Jones as “one of several people of color the Trump campaign highlighted on Monday, as the Republican Party tried to portray itself as inclusive.”

The Daily Beast stated plainly what the Times tried to finesse: “No GOP event would be complete without token minorities to absolve the party of its race-baiting and appeals to white grievance.”

Also on the first night, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott attacked Biden over criminal justice, saying that “In 1994, Biden led the charge on a crime bill that put millions of black Americans behind bars. President Trump’s criminal justice reform law fixed many of the disparities Biden created and made our system more fair and just for all Americans.”

That bill, the First Step Act, was a huge legislative win that even former Obama administration official Van Jones said Trump deserved credit for getting enacted.

“We’ve got to give Trump credit where credit is due,” he said. “He did fight hard to pass the bill and he made it possible for other Republicans to also be in the pro-criminal justice camp.”

Football great Herschel Walker ran full speed into the Trump-is-a-racist canard:

“I take it as a personal insult that people would think I’ve had a 37-year friendship with a racist.”

Walker said that “growing up in the Deep South, I’ve seen racism up close. I know what it is and it isn’t Donald Trump.”

Nikki Haley — whom CNN contributor Leslie Marshall called a “white woman,” even though both of her parents are Indian immigrants — directly attacked the Democrats’ America-is-racist meme.

“In much of the Democratic Party, it’s now fashionable to say that America is racist,” Haley said. “That is a lie. America is not a racist country. The American people know we can do better. And of course we value and respect every black life.”

Marshall, by the way, later deleted her tweet, pathetically blaming “staff and interns” for writing it.

Then there was Daniel Cameron, the first black attorney general in Kentucky’s history, who spoke at the convention on Tuesday night.

“I think about my ancestors who struggled for freedom. And as I think of those giants and their broad shoulders, I also think about Joe Biden, who says, if you aren’t voting for me you ain’t black. Who argued that Republicans would put us ‘back in chains.’ Who says there is no ‘diversity’ of though in the black community,” Cameron said.

“Mr. Vice President, look at me, I am black. We are not all the same, sir. I am not in chains. My mind is my own. And you can’t tell me how to vote because of the color of my skin.”

Ouch. No wonder the press decided to spend its time picking nits about whether Trump deserves credit for the historically low black unemployment rate before the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Trump also used the convention to pardon Jon Ponder, a black man who had served a five-year prison sentence for bank robbery, whom Trump met at the 2018 National Day of Prayer celebration.

Does Team Trump know something that the press is also ignoring: Namely, that he has an opportunity to win black support that Biden desperately needs to win?

Well, consider the material that Biden has given Trump.

‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.’

‘Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.’

‘Poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.’

‘I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American (referring to then Sen. Barack Obama) who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.’

A Republican who said these things would be branded as racist for life.

If Trump does manage to bring more black voters to his side, the press will act shocked and dumfounded. No one else should be.

The NY Times Hits the Panic Button

By Steven Hayward | POWERLINE

  

I’m guessing the Democrats’ internal polling on the current rioting and protesting is looking really bad, because the New York Times this morning declares a five-alarm fire with this new story:

. . . [S]ome voters who were less sure of their choice said the chaos in their city and the inability of elected leaders to stop it were currently nudging them toward the Republicans.

And some Democrats, nervous about condemning the looting because they said they understood the rage behind it, worried that what was happening in their town might backfire and aid the president’s re-election prospects.

Ellen Ferwerda, who owns an antique furniture store downtown just blocks from the worst of the destruction that is now closed, said that she was desperate for Mr. Trump to lose in November but that she had “huge concern” the unrest in her town could help him win. She added that local Democratic leaders seemed hesitant to condemn the mayhem.

“I think they just don’t know what to say,” she said. “People are afraid to take a stance either way, but I do think it’s strange they’re all being so quiet. Our mayor has disappeared. It’s like, ‘Where is he?’”

Observation: If you “don’t know what to say” about rioters, you won’t know what to do about it either. More:

Mr. Geraghty said he disliked how Mr. Trump talked but said the Democratic Party’s vision for governing seemed limited to attacking him and calling him a racist, a charge being leveled so constantly that it was having the effect of alienating, instead of persuading, people. And the idea that Democrats alone were morally pure on race annoyed him. “The Democratic agenda to me right now is America is systematically racist and evil and the only people who can fix it are Democrats,” he said. “That’s the vibe I get.”

Mr. Geraghty said he understood peaceful protesting but felt frustrated with Democratic leaders who seem afraid of confronting crowds when things turn violent. He was angry at the statement by Gov. Tony Evers on Sunday, which in his view took sides against the police in a knee-jerk way that worsened the situation. . .

Don Biehn, 62, owner of a flooring company, was standing in line at a gun store on Tuesday afternoon. He said that he had never bought a pistol before, but that he had a business to protect. A former county board supervisor, Mr. Biehn said he had been calling county and state officials for days, trying to explain how grave the situation was. . .

He added: “It’s chaos — everybody is afraid.” Mr. Trump, he said, “was not my man,” but now he is grateful he is president. He said he seemed to understand in a way that other politicians did not. “There’s nobody fighting back,” he said. “Nobody is paying attention to what’s going on.” . . .

Priscella Gazda, a waitress at a pizza restaurant in Kenosha, . . . said she had voted only once in her life — for Mr. Obama in 2008.

“I’m not the one who would ever vote,” she said. But after the chaos in her town, this year is different. “I am going to vote for Trump,” she said. “He seems to be more about the American people and what we need.”

Hey, it looks like that Omar Wasow fellow the left demonized a few months back was on to something. (To refresh, Wasow is the Princeton political scientist who demonstrated with the usual quantitative analysis how urban rioting helped elect Nixon in 1968. Even though Wasow is on the left, the left mob went berserk over his wrongthink.)

I’m guessing this story has ruined a lot of breakfasts today for Times readers, and will cause a lot of canceled subscriptions. The Times isn’t supposed to bring its readers unpleasant news like this.

Trump pops to 52%: ‘Best job approval rating on record,’ up with blacks, even Democrats

By Paul Bedard  | Washington Secrets Columnist

Buoyed by blacks and independent voters, as well as urban dwellers shocked by the Black Lives Matter protest violence raging in some cities, President Trump’s approval rating has hit a new high, according to a survey heavy with minority voters.

The latest Zogby Analytics poll just shared with Secrets had Trump’s approval at 52%. “The president has recorded his best job approval rating on record,” said pollster Jonathan Zogby.

What’s more, his approval rating among minorities was solid and, in the case of African Americans, shockingly high. Zogby said 36% of blacks approve of the president, as do 37% of Hispanics and 35% of Asians.

Approval among independent voters is also up, to 44%. And “intriguingly,” said Zogby, 23% of Democrats approve of Trump.

It was the latest to show that Trump’s approval went up during the Democratic National Convention. Rasmussen Reports had it at 51% at the end of the convention.

In a shock from past election years, Joe Biden got no convention poll bounce, according to a newly released Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The Republican National Convention still has two days to go. Last night's address by first lady Melania Trump won good reviews. Tonight, Vice President Mike Pence speaks, and Thursday is Trump's night.

Pollsters have been somewhat at a loss to explain the rise of Trump’s approval ratings, considering that there has been little positive news to help his standings other than the peace deal he helped negotiate between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Zogby, in his analysis, took a stab at the reasoning.

First, he said, his and other polls are confirming that the nation is nearly evenly divided politically and that despite some showing a big Biden lead, the race is extremely close. He suggested that the battle is for the “10%-20%” who haven’t made their minds up on who to vote for and who likely won’t make up their mind until Election Day, just like in 2016.

“We are as polarized a nation, on a level not seen since the Civil War,” said Zogby.

He also said that the violence playing out in cities such as Kenosha, Wisconsin, and Portland, Oregon, are pushing urban voters to Trump.

“Another factor continuing to help the president’s high approval rating is a rise in crime in our nation’s biggest cities. Unlike a year ago, the president is performing well with voters in large cities. It’s highly likely he is benefiting from the uptick in violence. His law-and-order message is resonating with urban voters at the moment,” said the analysis.

And he also suggested that Trump’s focus on issues important to blacks, including the economy, jobs, and criminal justice reform, has boosted his support among the voting group that traditionally goes all-in for Democratic presidential candidates.

“The president is also improving his job approval numbers with African Americans and millennial African Americans, which is a trend we witnessed last year. Trump has been making the case that he has done more for African American voters, by way of prison reform and previously low black unemployment, than Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, both of whom have been accused by the president for increasing incarceration among African Americans for generations on nonviolent drug charges,” said Zogby.

Lifelong Ohio Democrat: After Night One of the Convention, I'm Voting Republican

By Matt Vespa | Townhall.com

Source: Official White House Photo by Tia Dufour

I mean, it’s one vote, yes—but a critical one in a state that Democrats hope to retake in 2020. Ohio has long been the state that usually sewed up a GOP win. George Will, a longtime columnist for The Washington Post, aptly noted that the old playbook for the GOP was to win the South, the Midwest, the West, and then spend the GDP equivalent of Brazil and win Ohio. Barack Obama changed all that, but I digress. In 2016, Trump won Ohio handily, with the help of some of those Obama voters.

Last week, it was whinefest with Democrats, who held their convention with the overarching theme that they’re pissed and it’s Trump’s fault. America is a racist nation. Voting Democratic will erase all of that. They truly think we’re that stupid. 

On night one of the GOP convention, you heard remarks from ordinary people discussing the trials and tribulations associated with gun violence, health care, and owning small businesses. These weren’t the celebrity elite. They were ordinary Americans. Night one kicked off by honoring America, highlighting the possibilities that come through hard work and determination. It should have made you proud to be an American. It wasn’t a bash fest. 

For one lifelong Democrat in Ohio, Rick from Lorain, it was enough to switch parties. He declared on C-SPAN that after Monday night, he’s voting Republican. One of the main reasons was the GOP’s references to God.

“I was really touched by the number of times they used the word ‘God.’ They put God into everything and the people on the Democratic side…acted like they were pushing God right out of it,” he said. 

When asked if he was a union worker, Rick said he wasn’t. He was just a resident of Lorain which is a Democratic stronghold. It went heavily for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Yet, back in January, it seemed that even union workers were lining up behind Trump:

Letter to an Anti-Trump Christian Friend

 Source: AP Photo/Evan Vucci

[Below are excerpts from a letter written by Wayne Grudem, Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary in Arizona.]

Dear Zachary,

Thank you for your thoughtful, honest email explaining why you felt frustration and anger about my public support of Donald Trump. I'm glad that you wrote as you did rather than leaving the matter unspoken. 

…

My own assessment is, I think, a middle-ground perspective. Trump has flaws, but (by God’s grace) he has, overall, done many good things as president. The mainstream media often refuses to say anything positive about him, but a balanced evaluation would also point out that he has a remarkable ability to get things done that no one else had been able to achieve:

-  massive tax cuts,

- ending thousands of government regulations,

- moving our embassy to Jerusalem,

- building hundreds of miles of 18-foot to 30-foot high border wall, and

- persuading NATO allies to increase their share of the funding.

He has admirable courage, faithfulness to his promises, remarkable energy and diligence in the performance of his presidential duties, deep patriotism, and what seems to be a dominant motive of seeking what is best for the country (captured in the slogan, “Make America Great Again”.

…

What will Trump do in a second term? The best basis for predicting his conduct in a second term is his conduct for the past four years. If in a second term Donald Trump acts in the way he has acted in his first term, this will bring:

-  a continued strong economy,

- a strengthened military,

- better trade terms with other nations,

- a secure border,

- more originalist judges,

- stronger protections for unborn children,

- strong employment and wage growth,

- greater energy independence,

- greater school choice,

- more safety in inner cities,

- protection of religious freedoms, and

- greater liberty for Americans in general.

…

It has seemed to me recently that the strategy of the political left has been to deemphasize policy arguments (where their progressive policies cannot prevail in elections) and to focus their efforts on attacks against the person they are running against. To put it in simple terms, many prominent Democrats have shifted from arguing, “The Republican candidate has bad policies” to arguing, “The Republican candidate is a bad person.” (And even, “If you support Trump you are a bad person” – which stifles healthy political discussion.)

…

This approach has been helped by a shamefully biased mainstream media including the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC. I receive a newsfeed each morning from the New York Times and the Washington Post, and their blatantly biased reporting reveals a hostility toward President Trump unlike anything I’ve seen regarding any other political leader in my lifetime.

Signs of a Coming Trump Victory

By Wayne Allyn Root | Townhall.com

Source: AP Photo/Alex Brandon

Don't kid yourself. Don't be fooled by the bravado. Democrats behind the scenes are scared and getting more desperate by the day because there are so many signs of a coming Donald Trump victory.

The signs are everywhere.

Polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans don't want to defund police. They want law and order. They support police. Even 80 percent of black voters overwhelmingly disagree with defunding police.

Does anyone with a brain or common sense think this is a good sign for Joe Biden or Democrats? Do you think all these Americans who support the police, want more law and order, and want more police funding are leaning to "law and order Trump" or "defund the police Joe Biden"?

Polls show 83 percent of Americans support President Trump and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson's ending of former President Obama's program designed to fill the suburbs with high-density low-income housing, bringing crime and drugs to the neighborhoods of suburban moms and dads.

Does anyone with a brain or common sense think this is a good sign for Biden or Democrats? Do you think these millions of suburban American homeowners who don't want to see their home value destroyed or their neighborhood turned into war zones like Chicago, Detroit or Baltimore are going to vote enthusiastically for Joe Biden?

Remember, Biden's presidential platform actually puts in writing his goal to supercharge Obama's "destroy the suburbs" program. Biden wants to bring Frankenstein back to life, except twice as big. Goodbye to your safe, peaceful suburban life. Trump wants to protect your neighborhood. I wonder who suburban moms and dads will vote for.

But there are more signs.

The race to escape the big-city crime wave, rioting, and looting is accelerating at warp speed. Ask any suburban realtor. Ask any moving company. Everyone with any kind of ability to move is "getting out of Dodge." The escape from Democratic-controlled big cities is so huge it is the trend of 2020.

Even liberal New Yorkers are running for their lives. Shootings in New York City were up 76 percent from Jan. 1 to Aug. 2, compared with the same period in 2019. Murders are skyrocketing. The purchase of body armor such as bulletproof vests is reportedly up by over 80 percent in NYC. You think these people are voting for Biden?

But it's not just New York. Everyone is selling their homes and moving away from every Democratic big city -- Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis. Defund police? The only group getting defunded is Democratic politicians and government bureaucrats. Bye-bye to tax revenues.

Does anyone with a brain or common sense think this is a good sign for Biden or Democrats? Do you really believe most of these people are running for their lives from deep-blue Democratic cities for the safety of red Republican suburbs just so they can vote for Biden and the Democrats?

According to Rasmussen, 72 percent of likely voters are concerned about the growing violent protests nationwide. Sixty-two percent say it will affect their vote. Do you think this is a good sign for Democrats who support the Black Lives Matter and antifa movements and claim there is no violence?

And then there's the guns. America is selling out of guns. And bullets, too. Since COVID-19 and the rioting struck, practically every gun and bullet in this country has been bought up. All-time gun sale records have been broken month after month. Everyone is locked and loaded.

Does anyone with a brain or common sense think this is a good sign for Biden or Democrats? Do you think any of these record-setting gun buyers is voting for Basement Biden, Kamala Harris, and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, Biden's gun czar who would be in charge of forcefully taking away our guns?

Then there's Harris. CNN's latest poll shows a 21-point shift away from Biden among non-white voters after he picked Harris as vice president. Yes, I said non-white voters.

Finally, there's the Democratic National Convention. After hearing from all the big guns -- Michelle and Barack Obama; Bill and Hillary Clinton; Jill Biden; and Harris -- Thursday's Rasmussen poll shows Trump moving from 47% to 51% approval. Clearly, the more Democrats speak, the more voters are repelled.

Remember when then-President Jimmy Carter led Republican nominee Ronald Reagan by 10 points during the summer of 1980? Reagan won in a historic landslide.

Remember when Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis was up by 17 points over Republican nominee George H.W. Bush after the Democratic convention? Bush won the electoral vote 426 to 111.

Don't look now ... but it's about to happen again. The signs are everywhere. Trump is about to win in an electoral landslide.

America’s Choice: Darkness vs. Greatness

By Kevin McCullough | Townhall,com 

Source: AP Photo/Patrick Semansky

“Where Joe Biden see’s American darkness, I see American greatness.”

I didn’t hear him say the words. I was working in my studio on Friday and had just glanced at the television long enough to catch the lower chyron. And there it was: "President Trump: Where Biden sees American darkness, I see American greatness."

I eventually would go back and re-listen to President Trump’s extremely low key but upbeat and hope-filled speech to the Council for National Policy.

It was low on emotion, low on volume, very relaxed, and at times very funny.

But that line jumped off the screen when I saw it, and jumped out of the air when I heard it. And my suspicion is—you will hear it a lot in the week and days to come.

Why shouldn’t we?

The Democrats made an enormous mistake in having the most negative, “America is the problem,” convention in history. They largely spoke about things that are untrue, irrelevant, or both. And the final visual they offered the world was their nominee on a stage at essentially a half full drive-in theater with tail lights blinking and horns honking. 

No promises made about how to deal with the greatest challenges of our time. No promises of a new vision.

In fact they doubled down. Their nominee pledged to force mask mandates upon the American people. The day following he pledged to shut the economy back down if “scientists” tell him to. 

So the use of force to mandate masks, and another artificial crash? That’s the vision?

As Trump continued to speak to the CNP, he laid out the challenges he faced the first three years in office. His undoing of 2,000 plus regulations on businesses, the tax reform in which the average family saw more than $2,000 of their own money returned to them, the appointment of 300 judges/justices, his ending of terrorist threats without starting additional wars, and the willingness to hold China and Russia accountable with some of the toughest dealings in history.

As he reeled off the list (considerably longer than this space allows for) you were reminded of something significant: why people “dislike” Trump.

Most Americans grow in their disdain for the president because over time they generally do what they promised they wouldn’t (“read my lips, no new taxes") or they promise a litany of things they will do, but end up only getting one or two completed (Obamacare, No Child Left Behind).

The left in America hate Trump for the exact opposite reason: he’s kept his word. They didn’t like what he campaigned for. They didn’t like that he won. They didn’t like that through all of their abuses of power and ruses that they were unable to dislodge him. But they hate the fact that he now has a long list of promises that he made in sacred oath to the nation—that he fulfilled.

The Democrats foolishly tried to hit him on the handling of the economy. Very foolish indeed because now he gets to go remind people that “he grew the fastest, hottest growing economy in history once, and now he will do it again.” (By the way, three months of all time historic job creation and 10 million jobs created certainly underscore the point).

Before the artificial economic crash and the COVID lockdowns, the economy had more jobs available than unemployed people to find them. He can and will remind them of these facts.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a darkness in some parts of America that desperately need addressing. 

The uncontrolled riots have become a major source of concern for the suburban female voter. The abject refusal to open schools are angering moms across cities and suburbia alike. Mayors and governors who treated their bosses (the voters) as their subjects with gestapo-like check-points, unexplained restrictions on small businesses, and gross abuse of executive powers all add to the feeling of helplessness for voters in those areas. But these areas are all run by Democrats.

For President Trump that just means those cities and states will have more voters seriously considering supporting his vision of growth, freedom, success and life.

Democrats know this too. On Friday I was scheduled for a TV hit to discuss the voter’s reactions to the DNC. My left-of-center opponent doing the hit was so incapable of just hearing my rationale he continually spoke over me until I called him out by saying “this is how the left operates: bully the conversation and silence the opposition.”

That same evening we had dinner with a group where a feisty Bernie Sanders supporter quietly confessed, “Trump’s going to win, and that’s why I’ve begun to focus exclusively on taking the Senate.”

This election is boiling down to some very simple elements.

Trust the guy who, in 47 years, hasn’t fixed even one of the problems he blames America’s darkness for?

Or the candidate who in three years kept 127 historic promises, and is confidently, quietly, but enthusiastically asking for the privilege to “do it again” when it comes to making America great?

My hunch is the American people will prefer greatness.

History says they always have!
