Only certain black lives matter to BLM

John Phillip Sousa IV:
If all black lives mattered to Black Lives Matter, why weren’t they in Chicago last month when Mekhi James, a three-year-old black toddler, was shot and killed? Young Mekhi was just one of 100 people shot in Chicago over a single weekend. Another was a 13-year-old girl who was killed inside her own home while showing her mom the latest dance move.
In addition to campaigning for the abolition of the police, a policy that would surely increase the number of such killings, BLM was busy in Tulsa protesting a president who has done more in his first three years as president to boost the prosperity of black people than Joe Biden did in eight years as vice president.
The leadership of BLM has made clear that only one thing will cause them to stop the looting and rioting — Trump's defeat. But why? Have Trump’s policies created more jobs for black people, Hispanics, and women than ever before? They did, at least until the global pandemic hit. Trump rarely passed up a chance to say how proud he was of that accomplishment.
Have Trump’s policies moved more black people from welfare to work than during Barack Obama’s eight years? Yes.
Did Trump sign landmark legislation to put more money, more regularly, into historic black colleges? Well, yes. Yes, he did.

Did Trump push through criminal justice reform so fewer black people go to prison for minor offenses? He did.

Is Trump bucking the powerful teachers unions to give black families more choices in deciding where to send their children to school? He absolutely is.

Yet Trump is somehow the problem. BLM wants Trump out of the White House in favor of Biden, who did none of these things during his six terms in the Senate and two terms as vice president. In fact, in many cases, Joe was part of the problem.

As a senator, Biden led the charge for mandatory sentencing, which put more black people in prison for minor offenses. The Obama-Biden administration’s answer to people trapped in poverty was free cellphones and more food stamps. Obama-Biden’s economic policies led to a stagnating economy, fewer jobs, a low rate of black small-business startups, and a widening wealth gap between black people and just about everyone else.

It was Biden who talked about his opposition to court-ordered school busing using this kind of obvious dog-whistle language: "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle." (Imagine if Trump were to say something like that!)

Even now, Biden continues to deny black families access to quality schools by siding with teachers unions against new charter schools and voucher programs. And 10 years ago this week, Biden heaped praise upon his mentor, the late Ku Klux Klan leader and senator, Robert Byrd, as a "mentor," "friend," and "guide."
...
There is more.

The black lives that seem to matter most to BLM are criminals killed while resisting arrest.  The organization can into being using the hands up don't shoot lie and the Travon Martin trial of an innocent man.  These Marxist are using these lies to stir up emotions and mislead people.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
