When Trump Addressed NABJ and Other Stuff - 8/1/2024

ABC's Rachel Scott opened the interview by stringing every anti-Trump racial trope she could into her "question". Trump, as he is wont to do, fired back. The moral of the story is 'if you go full asshole on Trump, don't be shocked when he comes back at you just as aggressively, probably more so.'

There are several things I want to mention this morning, but first things first. I saw the entire interview Trump did yesterday with the National Association of Black Journalists. I give him credit. Considering the leftward lean of journalists in general, and the leftward lean of the Black community in our country, Trump went straight into a lion's den. Meanwhile, his opponent is using the same strategy as President Biden: teleprompters only, no Q&A from any journalists as yet, and certainly none from as hostile a group as this one was to Trump.

I'm glad that Trump didn't take any shit from her, but I do think he blew it on the "DEI hire" question. When asked if he considered Vice President Harris a DEI hire, he called her out for selling herself off as an Asian (Indian) woman, and now as a Black woman. Because she's half and half, I suppose she has the high ground on this, and I think he went all wrong in how he answered it.

President Biden seems to me to have called Vice President a DEI hire in a Memorial Day address this past May.

If I was to answer the same loaded question, I'd have said something like: "I don't know if she was a DEI hire. You'd have to ask Joe Biden that question. What I do know is that she isn't very good at her job. Her assignment to manage the border crisis has been a disaster. If we had a fair and impartial press, and she were held to the same level of scrutiny that Republicans are on the issues, especially the ones she's suddenly flip-flopping on, it would be obvious to everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear that she's not up to the job. Does that make her a DEI hire? I don't know. Only Joe Biden knows why he picked such an ineffective person as his Vice President."

Senator and Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance is in a bi-racial marriage and has bi-racial children. The trope the left is running on and on with about him is insanity. In other words, to be expected.

The second thing I want to mention is about the attacks on Trump's VP pick,  J.D. Vance. And I'm not going to waste a lot of space on it. It is simply this: The never-Trump wing of the GOP, the establishment bozos me and many others rejected which is why we have Trump in the first place were going to be dissatisfied with ANY person Trump selected is he chose someone other than one of their establishment types. Likewise, ANY GOP VP nominee is and was going to be attacked by the left.

The fact that the GOP establishment and Democrats don't like him gives me confidence he's a good pick.

A genetic male boxer, fighting in the women’s division in the Olympics, busted an Italian female boxer’s nose, leaving her crying and defeated in less than a minute.

This is far left lunacy. It can’t be defended. It can’t be explained away. And it can’t be undone. The woman who lost has had her dreams and efforts destroyed by far left lunacy. It’s asinine and stupid. I wish the victorious ‘woman’ could be put in the ring against the Olympic Italian male boxer in the same weight class and have their nose busted in the course of getting their ass handed to them.

Far left wokism. Some of you will be voting for it in November. Yeah, you will. You know you will. You’ll say you’re opposed to this stuff, but in the end you’ll vote against candidates who stand up against it and oppose it. The far left owns the whole of the left, yourselves included.
