TRUMP GOT IT RIGHT!!!

hello america!!! while it amazes me that so many people can watch the same thing at the same time & come up with so many convoluted opinions, what amazes me even more is how the media will tell us what a speaker meant & then, go on to tell us what should have been said---i.e; if i said 'the sky is blue' it somehow gets interpreted as, he said, 'the sky is not orange & cloudy'---that i meant, 'it wasn't raining'---&, some go even further to tell you how i tried to say, 'there is snow in alaska' &, some will tell you that 'i have a problem with inclusivity' because i didn't include the color green or red---&, we have those that will tie my original comment to my being against the moon (you know who you are)...

some of you are just looking for a speaker (any speaker you don't like & the opposite for those you do like) to make a mistake when speaking---you pounce on it & rehash it all day & you can't wait to be surrounded with those that think like you do---throughout all of that, the meaning of the message gets lost...

black people, what donald trump said should resonate with you more than with all other ethnic groups because (& you'll deny this) it was true---while there are some of us that have prospered for the last 7 plus years, the status for the vast majority of black people has declined & the numbers are backed up by our very own fed gov't & other sources---i posted this on the 17th---http://edagener.blogspot.com/2016/07/black-people-you-better-wake-up.html...while there are those of you laughing at trump, he's the only one that has spoken about the current plight of black people, PERIOD!!! what he said about chicago & all the shootings & killings are facts that the national media & our black president don't even mention nor do they put forth any plans to combat all that senseless violence---just look at how many black lives have been snuffed out for this year alone http://heyjackass.com/ &, there's this one  https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/2016-chicago-murders/timeline?mon=7...

you've been lied to & there's no other way i will phrase that---you're told our unemployment rate is a lowly 4.9% & that we 'add jobs' every month GOV'T REPORT FOR JUNE & everybody's happy & yet, nobody tells you the other part of that which is, we lose a million plus jobs a month---check out page 6/left side of the columns & do your own math https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf &, bear in mind, we've already lost 761,00 jobs for july &, we still have the reports for the weeks ending the 23rd & 30th still coming---we are losing jobs because::: our businesses are moving to other countries for less regulations, less taxes &, cheaper labor---technology & robotics are replacing human labor---legal & illegal immigrants are being allowed to work---welfare-like benefits are more enticing to many instead of working---&, there are millions of discouraged workers that have simply given up looking for work...

i really wanted to keep this clean without name-calling but, some of you are just plain stupid!!! which one of you idiots that now supports 'sanctuary cities' would still support them if one of yours was killed or raped by someone seeking shelter there & the police were restricted from going after them??? can you imagine turning bed-sty or harlem into a 'sanctuary city'---&, while i'm at it, all american women &, those of same-sex relationships need to read the quran & educate yourselves on exactly what 'sharia law' would mean to & for you because i honestly think ignorance is clouding your judgement---hell, all american men need to read it also...look, when we 'allow' immigrants to enter our country & they turn around & demand that we cater to their beliefs & culture while dismantling ours, i have a very big problem with that---you won't let me enter your home & dictate to you & hey, america is your home...

let's keep it real---obama & hillary (in 2006) were both telling us of the problems that illegal aliens pose to us & here is hillary in the flesh, sounding like trump from numbersUSA but, you never called her 'racist'---HMMM??? &, regardless of what you heard, our cia & fbi directors have testified under oath that we can neither vet nor track all the middle-east refugees that we've already allowed in & hillary wants to allow in 65,000 more---HMMM???

yes, america is ready for a female president---just not hillary---black people, you support her & don't even care that she she advocated for the clinton crime bill (which is still locking us up at unreasonable rates) or that she called us 'predators'---at least do your research on the party you support because, if it were up to the democrats, we'd still be in chains...

hillary clinton has already promised you (at least) 4 more years of the same which translates to no growth for people of color &, come next week at the dem convention, she'll say how she's going to elevate you but hey, she's been saying that for 25 plus years of public service---she has a public gov't record & it's far from being a good one...

HILARY, WHAT SAY YOU NOW??? WHAT??? YOU FORGOT ABOUT THIS???

hello america!!! hillary brings up trump's 4 bankruptcies as well she should &, for those that have a problem, have a look at this FROM POLITIFACT &, as you can see, she was correct---she was wrong when she said taxpayers had to bail him out---what she deliberately omitted was, the bankrupt &/or failing company's that have &/or will cost us money---as a seated senator representing ny & as sec of state, she never even bothered to mention all the money they have cost us &, she's pledged to give them even more of our money...here's a list from foxnews---

i'll take my chances with trumps business judgement any day compared to the business judgement of hillary, obama & all the people they've hired to guide them...

WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR COPS!!!

hello america!!! so, you don't like cops, that's your choice---you want to shoot at cops & kill them, that's also your choice---however, the next time you need a cop, don't call them, please call obama, hillary or black lives matter & tell me how that works out for you...

WHY ARE WE SO SILENT???

hello america!!! i have a very big problem & it's this---why are people of color so silent about all the senseless killings that occur within all the 'chicagos' of our country??? i can understand (but don't accept) the national media, obama & company &, the 'so-called' civil rights groups silence because those killings don't fit their narrative or agenda but, what is the agenda of the people of color???

look, let's keep it simple---as of this writing, for 2016 alone, chicago has had 361-370 murders (depends on the source)---348 of them have been people of color (287 black/61 latino) & nobody even mentions them---let a cop kill a black person & we lose our minds; the media feeds it to us 24/7; the big guns come out of the wood-work to soak up 'camera time' & then, everything just settles down & fades away...

if those 348 lives of people of color matter, where's the uproar???

&, just so you know, of those chicago killings, the police have killed 4 while wounding 7...

MY OWN POINT OF VIEW DIFFERS WITH MANY!!!

hello america!!! just because we may have different viewpoints, do not paint me in as an idiot---facts back up facts...

there are many ways to define 'protests' & 'racism' &, while i agree that some cops are extremely brutal, it's not just a 'black/white' issue---i also agree that no life should be taken by anybody unjustly---with that said, in a world driven by technology, everything is instantly put on public media & we make our judgements based on that &, unfortunately, we also allow ourselves to be led by the national media & our 'so-called leaders'---yes, there are many more white cops than black ones, however, cops have killed more whites than blacks by (almost) a two to one ratio based on the 2015 stats---cops killed a total of 990 people & of that number, 258 of those killings were black (the vast majority of them were deemed justified) &, that holds true for this year---the majority of cops do an honorable job but, all we see are the ugly ones &, regardless of how may you feel, the bottom line is, they are just as human as the rest of us &, if we can forget ourselves in a moment & do something stupid, why is it that we expect them not to do the same (even though they are supposed to be trained not to)??? seemingly, everybody wants to talk about the abuse by cops on black lives &, if that's all we had to worry about as a people, i would be in the streets throwing bottles & rocks with you, however, our bigger problem is within our own communities that goes uncovered by the media & it's called 'black-on-black' crime---unfortunately, i have a better chance of getting shot or abused by another black person than a cop, PERIOD!!! we get all caught up in the 'headlines' & very seldom do a thorough research of them because we have the proof of what goes on in our chicagos of our country & the sad part is, nobody says crap about them---for this year alone, 366 people have been killed in chicago & the cops were involved in only 11 of them---killing 4 while wounding 7---277 blacks lost their lives & nobody (NOT EVEN YOU) even mention them &, 'black lives matter' (along with our 'so-called leaders') are nowhere to be found...nation-wide for 2016, the police have killed 524 people & the vast majority of them were 'justified' & of them, 129 were black---it's easy to pull the 'race card' out but, it's hard to put it back---case in point; in a black & latino community where they outnumber whites & others 80% to 20%, the cops give more tickets to the 80% group & we scream 'racism' without even thinking about the true numbers---in that setting, we should get more tickets...also, if a white politician disagrees with obamas policies, he's branded a 'racist'---if you honestly want to look at today's american racism, look at who's funding those protests & who's inciting blacks to violence...

when you look at today's black communities you'll find that they are over-run with gangs, drugs, guns, poor education, lack of jobs, crime & poverty &, unfortunately, that's an unforgivable constant throughout our country---try a 'ride-along' with the human police that have to service those communities & have to deal with the abuse that they receive on a daily basis & then, you'll realize that we're fortunate that many more of them didn't 'snap' sooner...

BLACK PEOPLE, YOU BETTER WAKE UP!!!

hello america!!! i wish they had taught more of you history like it was taught to me---today, so much of it is purposely omitted, deliberately ignored or, conveniently altered because of 'political correctness' & other convoluted reasons---perhaps that helps explain why so many black americans are members of the democrat party---they've been blinded by ignorance & steeped in denial which equates to, if you don't know much, you can't say or do much...

over the last seven a half years (actually you could go back to before the civil war), exactly what have black people gained from the democrat party??? exactly what has the democrat party done to improve the lives of black people??? &, fear not, i have until the rest of my life to wait for you come up with some valid answers---& no, an increase in food stamps, a free safe link phone, etc, don't count although, for some, those might seem like blessings...

the dems had total control of our federal gov't for obamas first two years & they did nothing (then, before then or since then) that improved the lives of black people one iota---if anything, the truth is, they've pushed us further down the ladder of life &, for whatever reason, you refuse to acknowledge that & steadfastly support them---why??? is it because they make all of those campaign promises they never intend to keep??? or, because they tell you what you want to hear??? or, because they convince you that the republican party is the worst evil on the planet & would actually throw granny off the cliff??? whatever the reason, you just might want to redo your history lessons on them...

look, when i have to argue with a black man about which party was for slavery & which party fought against it, something is very wrong so, knowing your time is valuable, check out this PBS ARTICLE because far too many of you don't have the information you need &, here's another factual & interesting read from REDSTATE.COM...

now, i know some of you idiots will be yelling that slavery was a long time ago & yet, you're still a slave to & for the democrat party gov't & hey, NEWSFLASH!!! you'll remain a slave to them until you can gain your own independence & folks, the dems aren't about to allow that---they'll just continue to import foreigner's (illegals & legals) that take those jobs you depend on away (it's already happening & it's more wide-spread than the national media acknowledges) & then, you'll be forced to accept their meager offerings of welfare related assistance---which means gov't control which means slavery...

you support the very party that would still have you in shackles (hell, democrat vp joe biden even joked about 'yall going back in chains') &, if not for those much hated republicans, the civil rights bill would never have passed but, you can read it for yourselves from the GATEWAYPUNDIT.COM...

let's keep it real---the dems have sued every state that has tried to make gov't issued id cards mandatory &, they've won saying it would cause a 'hardship' on blacks & others that would have to go get one---however, that 'hardship' doesn't apply come voting time---look, it's simple, no valid id card equals no valid job & he who has no valid job is dependent on somebody &/or the gov't...what can a black person do legally in this country without valid id??? hell, we can go one even better---try visiting one of those elected politicians in washington, dc without valid id & see how far you get...

simply put, the dems are all about controlling your lives; telling you that they know what you need better than you do; telling you they must intervene in all facets of your life to better serve you; telling you that bigger gov't, more regulations & taxes are the only way for us to go---hey, take a good look around you & tell me where we have grown (as a country) in the last 7 1/2 years---yeah, i know, you'll need more time...&, before you blame bush for all of our current problems, let me educate you it because it was the dems that thwarted all of his warnings & efforts to avoid the housing market collapse &, knowing you won't readily accept that, please educate yourselves by reading this FACTUAL GOV'T REPORT...

just look at how divided we have become & hillary clinton wants to continue obamas reign of ruining us for another 4 years---can black people really afford that knowing they will not prosper, however, we'll be told how well off we are & you'll eat it up...WAKE THE HELL ON UP!!!
1.....the national unemployment rate for black adults 20 & older is hovering around 20%/for our black youth 16-19 it's hovering around 40%---http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t02.htm
2.....black home ownership is a lowly 41.5% (the lowest in america)---table 7/page 9  http://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf
3.....the black poverty level is hovering between 25%-40% (depends on the source) http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/poverty-rate-by-raceethnicity/ 
& this one---http://federalsafetynet.com/us-poverty-statistics.html
4.....black high school graduation rates are "catastrophically low & appear to be getting worse" & that come from http://www.realizethedream.org/reports/national.html
5.....black crime---http://americanfreepress.net/crime-stats-alarm-black-leaders/
6.....blacks fill low paying jobs & you read about it from THEATLANTIC.COM

black people,
1.....we have a black president
2.....we have the naacp
3.....we have the congressional black caucus
4.....we have the black panther party
5.....we have the black lives matter organization
6.....we have all those black fraternities & black colleges
7.....we have all those black clergymen & black churches spread across our country
8.....we have all those black civil rights organizations serving our black communities
9.....we have all those black judges & lawyers
10...we have all those black business owners
11...we have all those black celebrities
12...we have all those black athletes
13...we have all those black media outlets & black media pundits
14...we have all those black doctors & nurses
15...we have all those black police, black firemen, & black ems personnel
16...we have the aclu (at least we're supposed to have them protecting our rights)
17...we have all those black politicians
18...we have all those black military personnel
19...we have approximately 50 million plus black people in this country

so, ask yourself this:::why are we still suffering as a people??? with all of the 'clout' we possess, one would assume we would be better positioned on the rungs of the ladder of life!!!

HILLARY, WHO'S REALLY THE RACIST???

hello america!!! first & foremost, i must say that the democrat party excels at 'name-calling' & utilizing 'fear tactics' far better than the republicans---why this is i don't know but, it's true...

republican donald trump has been called 'racist' because he wants to build a wall between us & mexico &, he wants to ban travelers from the middle east until we can figure out what is going on with who we're allowing in & where they're coming from &, he didn't denounce former kkk grand wizard david duke fast enough---what is wrong with you people??? are you that daft that you allow yourselves to be persuaded by the national media & others so quickly without even examining the facts??? well, if you are so willing to brand trump a 'racist' you must also include hillary clinton as one & here's some video proof from NUMBERSUSA...my, my, my---look at how things suddenly change...but, let's not stop there---obama knew the problems illegal immigration caused & expressed his thoughts &, i can only hope you read the whole article here THENEWAMERICAN.COM...

there's the kkk & david duke incident that trump finally denounced, however, we have the counter to that with hillary & her high praise for former kkk 'exalted cyclops' member & a senator, robert byrd & you can read it from the ANONEWS.COM...

you must be a 'special kind of stupid' not to recognize all the potential problems that may face us from accepting middle east refugees &, per judicial watch, you can read it HERE...we're allowing people into our country that we know nothing about & that's stupidity in action...

hillary talked about carrying hot sauce with her wherever she goes while talking to black people; she embarrassingly tried using a subway transit card to prove she's one of us; she tried imitating our voice; she advocated for the clinton crime bill while calling black people 'super predators' &, she still has the audacity to call trump a 'racist'---good people, learn your facts...

hey, just for emphasis, CHECK THIS OUT...

WE NEED OUR POLICE & WITH THEM COME THE GOOD, THE BAD &, THE UGLY!!!

hello america!!! after seven & a half years under a black president living in our white house, our once beautiful nation is once again embroiled in 'racism' &, unfortunately, we are as divided as ever before---now, don't get it twisted because i'm not blaming obama for all of our racial problems (they existed long before he was even born & they'll continue long after he's gone) however, i am blaming him for purposely pumping gasoline on the flames...

obama set the tone regarding how we perceive police actions within our communities when he said 'the police acted stupidly' HERE'S THE VIDEO OF IT &, this occurred in july 2009---i'm sure you've heard all the negative comments he's uttered ever since about 'police actions'---so yes, he set the tone &, equally yes, some police have acted stupidly...when, since 2009 to the present, did he ever set up a dialogue between the police & the communities they serve to quell our nations racial division??? hell, he's even gone as far as to say that the police have too much tactical weaponry...

good people, nobody is denying that we have a racial problem &, we always will but, instead of inciting everyday people with foolish rhetoric, shouldn't we all just calm down & deal with the problem as rationalized adults??? shooting at cops & unarmed citizens only escalates the violence, distrust, fears & racial feelings & accomplishes just the opposite of what is needed---perhaps the most important thing lost here is, the citizens cannot win a 'war with bullets' against the cops...

something else lost here is, the left-leaning 'so-called leaders' (obama included) seem to go out of their way to inflame us to violence &, if you know your history (something they don't teach like they used to), community violence against the police & establishment leads to tighter gov't control over you---the dems are excellent at subterfuge & you'll be so steeped in hatred towards the cops that you won't know what happened even after it happened...

& yes, while people of color have been killed by cops, more white people have lost their lives by cops but, our biggest problem is the violence within our own communities committed by our own against our own &, from obama on down, this subject is taboo---they go out of their way not to talk about it & the media refuses to give it the daily, all-day coverage it so rightly deserves...

let's keep it real---when others talk shit about us or to us, we're either ready to go off on them &/or we actually do go off on them &, we chalk it up to our being human & provoked which is something we don't afford our police---they're expected to be better trained & to exhibit stronger restraint while ignoring all of their humanness---far too many of us know that many people from our own communities have been killed simply because of running their mouths---while i don't condone police brutality in any form, i do realize that our police are human & can fall victim to that at any given time---if they do, let them have their day in court & don't condemn the entire police force because of the negative actions of a few...

BETWEEN THE POLICE & THE STREETS, I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE POLICE!!!

hello america!!! most of you need to stop what you're doing & wake up to reality because one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over & expecting different results---people of color, you should know this better than most & if you continue to deny that, you'll continue to suffer...

yes, we have some cops that have 'quick trigger fingers' & yes, they should have their day in court---the flip side of that is, we also have the vast majority of cops that do their jobs honorably---in short, if we treat the cops like shit, they'll treat us like shit &, when you let idiots incite you to the point of violently confronting the cops, we're all going to have a very bad day...

i don't care where you live, the good done in our communities far outweighs the bad done by our police forces---if we continue to violently confront &/or defy the cops, they'll be more cautious in doing their jobs & that could prove to be the difference on you (your children or others) getting to a hospital in time to save your life---

obama & company have you believing that the cops have declared war on people of color---specifically, black people, however, the stats don't back up their rhetoric---approximately 1,000 people were killed by the police in 2015 &, of that number, approximately 260 were black (approximately 170 were latino)---bear in mind, the vast majority of them were justified homicides---while i wish that nobody would lose their life in the street, that's just wishful & wasteful thinking because the reality in our country is, a person of color has killed another person of color a lot more than all the cop-killings combined...

for 2016 there have been approximately 500 plus cop-killings (&, again, the vast majority of them were justified) &, of that number, approximately 120 of them were black (&, approximately 80 were latino)---hell, let's keep it real---our gravest concerns should be all the senseless homicides committed  within our communities that don't draw the interest of the national media or obama & company until it's voting time---they'll talk about it then & tell you of their bold plans to combat it...

good people, while any life taken by violence is a tragedy, let's look at the big picture confronting us---let's look at chicago---for this year alone, there have been approximately 350 homicides & of that number, approximately 265 of them were black (&, approximately 60 were latino) however, nobody is talking about those killings so, their lives must not matter---just so you can get the proper prospective, of those 350 homicides, the chicago police were involved in just 10 of them (killing 4/wounding 6)---yep, we need police to police the police; we need body cameras; we need 'cops better not shoot' laws; we need to burn down our communities; we need never to trust white people; we need stronger gun laws; etc, etc, etc---& yes, i'm being sarcastic but, how much stronger can our guns laws be than the ones that govern chicago??? they just happen to have some of our nations strictest gun laws on the books & they're not working...

hell, just look across our country---baltimore has had approximately 150 homicides this year &, approximately 110 of them were black---nyc has had approximately 165---for the whole country, we've had approximately 8,850 homicides/approximately 6,050 of them by gunshot & we still have 5 months left in this year...

as you can see by the numbers, our biggest problem isn't with the police, our biggest problem is with each other & the careless way we are so willing to take a life---groups like 'black lives matter' & their financial backers, politicians like obama & company, our clergymen, our national media, & ourselves, could make a very big difference if we all focused on the real problems within our communities & not just the political ones...

lost in all this 'down with the police' crap is the fact that people of color are being forced to even deeper depths on the scale of life---we are losing our jobs to legal & illegal immigrants; we have no structured activities for our youth that gain their attention; our communities are literally falling apart; banks aren't as quick to make us loans as they are others; our educational standards have fallen; our home ownership ability has fallen; our raising our children in a technology-driven world is hurting both us & them; our willingness to hurt one another, to tear one another apart, to not support our own community businesses is hurting us; groups that supposedly have our backs are hurting us because they have turned their efforts to chasing that dollar bill; we allow the drugs into our communities & we silently sit back & watch all the destruction they cause among & to us---but, voting's right around the corner & the dems will tell you (once again) how they can solve all your problems & you end up voting for them only to have to endure even more suffering...

let's just assume that 'no justice-no peace' actually spurred the cops to never shoot another person of color again, how does that stop all the senseless violence within our communities??? i've said this before but, it bears constant repeating, it's easier & faster for a 12 year old to get a street gun than for you to buy one legally---FACTS!!!

keep voting democrat & you'll always have these problems...

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR POLICE PERSONNEL!!!

hello america!!! here are the june chicago numbers---of the 70 or 71 june 2016 chicago homicides, 47 of them were 31 years old or younger; the youngest was 2 months old/the oldest 67 years old; all but 7 of the victims were people of color; all but 4 of the homicides were from gunshot---

before i forget, the 2016 chicago police involved shootings tally up like this---they killed 4/wounded 5 &, before you jump on that 'bash the police' bandwagon, just know that 1,996 people were shot & 301 of them died---some of you are a 'special kind of stupid' because of those 1996 people shot, 1,695 owe the police a lot of gratitude because the police have to secure the scene before our ems & fireman personnel can do their job & then, render aid in any way they can---1,996 shootings & the police are only involved in 9 of them in america's most dangerous city???

just so you know, there have been 3 chicago shooting homicides since 1 july... 

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE???

hello america!!! please, don't think i'm suddenly writing about the following because i've been posting about the chicago violence for several years on here...

70 or 71---that's the number & you haven't heard crap about it---not from the media; not from the politicians; not from the civil rights groups; &, not much from the communities...

for the month of june, there were 70/71 homicides in the city of chicago alone & all you heard about was the orlando, fla shootings on june 12th---WHY IS THAT??? how can we, as an american people of one, continually allow this to occur in our neighborhoods??? have we become so desensitized to violence that we silently accept it as a 'part of life'??? &, when we do get to air our thoughts about it, we make asinine statements like 'the cops need to do a better job' or 'the cops aren't doing their job'---FIRST & FOREMOST, I DON'T BLAME THE COPS ONE IOTA!!! (i'll get back to this because it bothers me a lot)...

chicago has had 325-333 homicides this year &, for the most part, they've gone unpublicized by the media & those that can't wait to grab camera-time & incite---you know, those 'so-called leaders' that are extremely quick to respond to a cop killing a person of color---they're all over tv & the media loses it's mind covering them...where's obamas voice??? why isn't representative elijah cummings marching locked arm-in-arm during the protests of all of those homicides??? where's al sharpton??? where are all the 'so-called' civil rights groups??? where's the 'collective voice' of the victims family & friends??? where's the community's voice??? where's america's voice??? oh, i'm sorry, i forgot that the chicago homicides don't fit the biased media's 'sensationalizing standards' & aren't deemed worthy enough to 'earn coverage'---my bad!!!

senseless violence isn't just limited to chicago, it's all over the country &, although i agree that semi & automatic weapons shouldn't be on our streets, the solution isn't more 'gun-control' rhetoric (that political narrative is played out)---approximately 8,401 homicides have been committed within our borders for 2016 &, approximately 5,748 of them were by gunshot---however, you should know that most of the guns used were 'street guns' & the only way to stop that is to ban all guns from being made in our country &/or brought in---hell, don't forget, obama & company lost 2,000 guns on their own...

now, back to the cop issue---yes, we have some that are over-zealous in their duties but, that's a small number compared to the rest of them that perform their duties with honor---we denigrate them; we place all of their actions under a microscope; &, we vow to punish them even before all the facts are out---so yes, we risk them not doing their job as diligently as they could/should---who among us would??? when you have split seconds to react to 'your going home or being put in a body-bag', your choice is evident...we need our cops & their lives are just as important as any other lives...
