Speak Out 6/26/20
Senator Kamala Harris couldn't cut it as a presidential candidate, but now Democrats are falling all over themselves to make her Joe Biden's VP. Trump's "silent majority" didn't show up to his Tulsa rally because of one small thing -- it doesn't exist! That is a figment of his sick mind. He can talk about it all he wants but the majority isn't silent and it's not on his side. It's extremely vocal and it's speaking out against him...
VP candidate
Senator Kamala Harris couldn't cut it as a presidential candidate, but now Democrats are falling all over themselves to make her Joe Biden's VP.
Trump's rally
Trump's "silent majority" didn't show up to his Tulsa rally because of one small thing -- it doesn't exist! That is a figment of his sick mind. He can talk about it all he wants but the majority isn't silent and it's not on his side. It's extremely vocal and it's speaking out against him.
Racial problems
Are there racists in the United States? Sure. Are there bad cops in the U.S.? Sure. Do we need police reforms to better deal with the bad cops? Sure. Are most people in the U.S. racist? Absolutely not. Not even close. Are most cops racist? Absolutely not. Not even close. A cop is 12.5 times more likely to be killed by a black suspect than a black suspect is to be killed by a cop. That's the truth. All of this protesting, rioting and pillaging is basically an exercise of ignorance. The truth is that 69% of black babies are born out of wedlock in this country. That compares to 28% of white babies. There is a terrible breakdown in the family structure in the black community. Unfortunately a huge percentage of black males grow up with no adult male figures in their lives. Liberal do-gooders want to blame everyone except those who are really to blame. Education and better choices are the only things that can cure the plight of young black males.

Floyd coverage
I was wondering why George Floyd got so much media coverage and they didn't say much about the black cop in St. Louis that was a policeman for 38 years before he retired. He got shot by a 23-year-old black guy while protecting a friend's pawn shop. I think protesters thought Floyd was someone famous or something. I am getting tired of hearing about George Floyd. Let him rest in peace. They need some new news to talk about.
Lincoln freed slaves
Has everyone forgotten that the Republicans were the ones that freed the slaves with President Lincoln. The Democrats want to keep the blacks and the people of color dependent on the government so they can get their votes by passing all the bills to keep them from having to work. To show how racist the Democratic Party is, Obama even gave the eulogy at the funeral of a congressman who was a KKK leader and not one person said anything about it. This is why Biden said if you are black and you don't vote Democrat then you aren't black. The Democrats want to do away with the police so they can bring in communism. It is time for America to wake up and get rid of the lying Democrats.
Be leaders
I want to commend the protesters in Cape Girardeau Sunday for keeping it peaceful, but the fact is that 50% of the people killed by police last year were white and 25% were black. Police don't leave their homes every day looking to kill someone. The ones protesting should be leaders and educate their communities to not break the laws, and if they are arrested respect the police and go peacefully. We all should work together to improve the racial tension in our country. In Cape Girardeau there are shootings almost every week and most are Blacks shooting Blacks. In the larger cities it's worse. All lives matter, so we have to find a way to work together to find a solution. Someone in the Black community needs to lead the way. Perhaps one of the protesters will step up and be that leader.
