It’s Wednesday, May 27th, 2020…but before we begin, here’s a headline which caught our attention over the weekend:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump visits Arlington cemetery, Fort McHenry for Memorial Day as Baltimore mayor criticizes trip<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With 9 killed and 5 injured in Black-on-Black violence over the Memorial Day holiday<\/em><\/span><\/a>, something tells us Trump using the backdrop of Fort McHenry to honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion is the LEAST of Baltimore’s problems.\u00a0 Yet that didn’t stop Jack Young from complaining, or one of those seeking his office, whiter-than-rice Mary Miller<\/em><\/span><\/a>, from quickly claiming violence in Baltimore is exacerbated by, among other factors,\u00a0structural racism<\/em><\/span>\u00a0and corruption.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soooo, though we whole-heartedly concur on the corruption, Ms. Miller would seriously have us believe<\/em><\/span> out-of-control Black-on-Black violence in a city controlled by Dimocrats since 1968<\/em><\/span>, which has had<\/em> a Black mayor for the last 13 years<\/em><\/span> and only one White police commissioner since 2002<\/em><\/span> is somehow the result of “structural racism”.\u00a0 Only if Miller’s party<\/em><\/span> poured the forms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking of highly-concocted claims of racism, courtesy of The Guardian<\/em> via the WSJ<\/em>‘s Notable & Quotable<\/em> segment, one Derecka Purnell offers her politically-correct characterization of what constitutes contemporary discrimination:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Democratic party holds black people in an abusive relationship but says you cannot leave because the other option is more abusive<\/span><\/em>. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t believe that a vote against Biden solely means a vote for Trump.<\/span> Perhaps it is a vote against being captured by the party that makes empty promises every four years when it is election time, and delivers nothing…Perhaps it is a vote against covert<\/em><\/span> and overt<\/em><\/span> racism.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Biden and others will rightfully argue that Trump is worse, and I agree. But what can Biden actually deliver<\/span><\/em>?<\/span> Will there be fewer drones<\/em><\/span> if he\u2019s president? Maybe not.<\/span> Fewer deportations<\/em><\/span>? Maybe not.<\/span> Less money to police departments<\/em><\/span>? No.<\/span> Will fewer black people die from police<\/em><\/span>? Unlikely.<\/span> Will black people have healthcare<\/em><\/span>? Unlikely.<\/span> Will black wealth increase<\/em><\/span>? Unlikely.<\/span> Will Palestinian lives be safer<\/em><\/span>?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
