Things Baby Boomers Think Are Cool<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

“Dear baby boomers, we are sorry to tell you that these things were never cool, it\u2019s time to accept that. In the 1950\u2019s and 60\u2019s there was a big rise in births in America, so much so, that it was dubbed a \u201cbaby boom\u201d.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The children born between 1946 and 1964 are now known as the baby boomer generation and they grew up to be very influential in government and business. That is how they managed to make a lot of uncool things hugely popular.<\/span> Here\u2019s our list of things baby boomers believe are cool but\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0aren\u2019t.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Diamonds<\/span><\/em>:\u00a0A girls\u2019 best friend or not, it turns out that diamonds aren\u2019t all they\u2019re cracked up to be. These precious gems are released slowly into the market to drive up their prices, keeping their costs scandalously high.<\/span> How many people could enjoy free higher education with all the money spent on diamonds<\/span><\/em>?<\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

The list goes on to include anything from golf to enclosed malls.\u00a0 So, how many people could<\/span><\/em> enjoy “free” higher education with all the money spent on diamonds?\u00a0 Not a one: Zero, zip, nada.\u00a0 Not a single person could enjoy “free” higher education, or, for that matter, anything else<\/span><\/em> “free”, because things paid for with funds forcibly appropriated from others are hardly “free”, particularly to those footing the bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Young people: they’re not stupid; they just know so much that simply isn’t true.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dangers for Democrats<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

\u2018The violence will continue unless you vote for Biden\u2019 sounds like a threat<\/span><\/a>. Voters don\u2019t always respond well to threats<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

“C<\/strong><\/span><\/span>all\u00a0<\/span>me crazy, but I don\u2019t think Joe Biden\u2019s best<\/span><\/em> response to the news of a leftist protestor shooting a peaceful Donald Trump supporter in the head execution-style is to run in front of the cameras and say, \u201cThis is Donald Trump\u2019s America<\/span><\/em>.\u201d Or repeating<\/span><\/em> the close of his news release the other day, \u201cHow safe do you feel in Donald Trump\u2019s America?\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you put it that<\/span><\/em> way, it sounds<\/span><\/em> like a threat<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe that\u2019s why<\/span><\/em> he\u2019s calling off his planned visit to Kenosha.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The theory<\/span><\/em> behind Democrats saying over and over again \u201cThis is Donald Trump\u2019s America\u201d is that, unlike in 1968<\/span><\/em>, the Republican candidate talking about law and order in 2020 is an incumbent<\/span><\/em>. So it\u2019s all on him<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think it works that way. Maybe in 1968 people not only noticed who the incumbent was<\/span><\/em>, but what side the unrest was on<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> Our<\/span><\/em> \u201cuprisings\u201d are led by people who hate Trump<\/span><\/em>. They are happening under Democratic governors<\/span><\/em>, and in cities with Democratic mayors and city counsels<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> Those elected officials have turned down multiple offers of help<\/span><\/em>. It was a Democrat mayor<\/span><\/em> who called the Seattle Autonomous Zone a \u201csummer of love\u201d as its residents violently extorted local business.<\/span> She closed it down only after<\/span><\/em> the second child was murdered<\/span><\/em> in it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Donald Trump\u2019s America.\u201d<\/span> I just don\u2019t know. When I was a dumb teenager, I once used an aerosol spray can and a lighter in the kitchen to make a minor flame thrower. I burned a curtain.<\/span><\/span> I wasn\u2019t clever enough to turn to my mother and excuse myself<\/span><\/em> by protesting, \u201cAt the end of the day, this is your<\/span><\/em> house!\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

BTW,\u00a0according to court documents reviewed by the Daily Caller<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a>, a<\/span><\/em><\/strong>ll three<\/span><\/em> of Kyle’s Kenosha “victims” were criminals<\/span><\/em>, with convictions ranging from sexual conduct with a minor to felony strangulation.\u00a0 So, expressing matters accurately<\/span><\/em>, all three individuals<\/span><\/em> young Master Rittenhouse shot in self-defense<\/span><\/em> when they viciously assaulted him<\/span><\/em> were convicted criminals<\/span><\/em> intent on…<\/strong><\/p>\n

If The Riots Are Trump’s Fault, Whose Fault Were the Ferguson Riots<\/a><\/span>?<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Backed into a corner, Biden and his media allies have desperately tried to shift the blame for violence carried out by their own supporters<\/span><\/em> to President Trump. Their meme is that this is happening in Trump’s America<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Except that it actually began<\/span> under Obama<\/span><\/em>. (Like the “dog kennels” on the border!<\/em>)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>“For the last four years, we weren’t having riots, racial riots.<\/span> And when they occurred, we didn\u2019t have to go call in the National,” Biden confusingly\u00a0claimed<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There were<\/span> no<\/span><\/em> riots.<\/span> Except<\/span><\/em> when there were<\/span><\/em> riots.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Black Lives Matter movement and the massive wave of nationwide race riots actually began under Obama and Biden<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> And the Obama administration nurtured and stirred up the riots<\/span><\/em> through the DOJ as has been widely documented.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If the current riots are President Trump’s fault, no matter who’s rioting and where they’re rioting<\/span><\/em>, then whose fault were\u00a0the Ferguson riots<\/span><\/em>?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Democrats and their media want to have it<\/span><\/em> both ways, but it can’t<\/span><\/em> be both ways. These riots began<\/span><\/em> under Obama and continued<\/span><\/em> on under Trump.<\/span> What’s happening<\/span> now<\/span><\/em> is an extension of what began in 2014<\/span><\/em>. The Obama administration actively used the violence to divide Americans<\/span><\/em>, as Democrats are doing now<\/span><\/em>, even while trying to blame Republicans for the violence<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, makes about as much sense as the claim Trump’s intent is to…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michelle Obama says \u2018white America\u2019 acts like black women don\u2019t exist<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

“Former first lady Michelle Obama\u00a0said on her podcast<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0Thursday that \u201cwhite America\u201d acts like black women<\/span><\/em> \u2014 including<\/span><\/em> herself \u2014 don\u2019t exist<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019ve been completely incognito<\/span><\/em>, during the eight years in the White House<\/span><\/em>, walking the dogs on the canal<\/span><\/em>, people will come up and pet my dogs, but will not look me in the eye.<\/span> They don\u2019t know it\u2019s me<\/span><\/em>,\u201d the former first lady said in \u201cThe Michelle Obama Podcast.\u201d (Uh,…we<\/span><\/em> didn’t go to Princeton<\/span><\/em> (having turned down Harvard in favor of the Naval Academy), but isn’t that the desired effec<\/span>t<\/span><\/em> of traveling “incognito”?!?)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat white folks don\u2019t understand<\/span><\/em>, it\u2019s like that is so telling of how white America views people who are not like them<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> You know, we don\u2019t exist<\/span><\/em>. And when we do<\/span><\/em> exist, we exist as a threat<\/span><\/em>. And that<\/em>, that\u2019s exhausting<\/span><\/em>,\u201d Obama continued. (Panting as she caught her breath in the confines of her $13 million dollar mansion on Martha’s Vineyard!<\/em>)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the white community<\/span><\/em> doesn\u2019t understand about being a person of color in this nation is that there are daily slights<\/span><\/em>, in our workplaces where people talk over you, or people don\u2019t even see you<\/span><\/em>,\u201d she said<\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

WOW!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s as if Moochie’s been magically transported to the past, back to a time before<\/span><\/em> she enjoyed a privileged upbringing…before<\/span><\/em> she attended Princeton…before<\/span><\/em> she wrote a Marxist thesis critical of her country…before<\/em><\/span> she was offered a six-figure salary at a Chicago hospital with no commensurate qualifications nor discernible duties…before<\/span><\/em> she was the first Black First Lady…before<\/span><\/em>\u00a0$540 food bank sneakers…before<\/span><\/em> she owned three homes worth a collective $35 million!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

One would think she’d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0personally experienced beatings, bullwhips, fire hoses and police dogs; that it was she<\/span><\/em>, rather than Sheriff Bart<\/span><\/em>, who endured the scorn of the old White woman’s response…<\/strong><\/p>\n
