Biden Releases Economic Plan That Would Seek To Fix Racial Inequity
In 50 years Joe seems to have learned very little. He proposes everything he learned as a Democrat and which we know mostly failed.
Joe,don't you know people didn't build it only government? Is that why you want government to fund everything?
Also, any failure can be resolved by just spending a little more. Even I am dumb enough to know this. That way government not only never ends interfering but continues to grow, hires more bureaucrats beholden to voting for Democrats who protect them and their job security. What goes around comes around.

Joe Biden Just Offended EVERY Woman in America with this One Tweet
The following story is brought to you courtesy of The Next News Network. Click the link to visit their page and see more stories.
PJ Media reports, If you’re a politician who’s trying to appeal to the left, you must always remember that they think of themselves first and foremost as victims. Victims of society, victims of male privilege, victims of whiteness, whatever the case may be.
And:
Biden's Out of the Basement Just Long Enough to Insult America
There are so many reasons why Biden has been hiding in his basement. The Democratic National Committee has no idea what he’ll say at any given time. Plus, the Covid-19 virus targets those who are older – and Biden is the oldest candidate that’s out there. So, he stays in lockdown until it’s time to do an interview or a debate.
Things got interesting when Biden managed to escape long enough to find an internet connection.
First, he decided to call Trump the “first” racist president. All of the black business owners that have personally thanked Trump for improving the economy for them would argue that. There’s also the fact that many presidents were slave owners – but Biden’s mental capacity isn’t there so we’ll give him a pass on this one.
Next, Biden decided to basically call Americans stupid because they can’t distinguish “between a South Korean and someone from Beijing.” Well, that’s pretty insulting. What would lead Biden to say such a thing? It’s all a part of his blame game, saying he thinks Trump is wrong to blame China for the coronavirus. Umm, sure, and insulting voters is always a great tactic for his endgame, too.
Biden makes a dangerous assumption that Americans see all Asians as the same. So, now we’re not only stupid, but we’re also racist.
Biden assumes that if the president talks negatively about China, us ignorant Americans might take it out on a South Korean.
He doesn’t think much of the people he’s going to depend on votes from in a few months. This could either be chalked up to his own ignorance of not knowing that Asians hail from different countries or his failing mental capacity. Either way, it’s not a good look for him.
It’s clear that Biden would handle things differently. He would rather protect the Chinese communists and lie to the country he is sworn to serve and protect. He would rather coddle Americans than tell them the truth. He doesn’t think we can handle it. He thinks he knows what’s best, so he’ll just lull us to sleep with a fairytale of lies.
It’s obvious by now that Americans want the truth. We don’t want to be spoon-fed lies from the media. We don’t want politicians telling us what they think we want to hear. We want the truth.
The truth of the matter is, China started the virus, they knew about the virus, and they hid it from us. Then, when it started to spread, they lied. Trump knows the truth and has shown it to us. Biden, however, would rather blame Trump instead of China. Biden would rather lie to us.
Biden’s declining mental health is making it easier for us all to see what we’re dealing with. We’re able to see that a vote for Biden is a vote for communist China. He wants to defend China, and that’s no surprise considering his son has been doing back-door deals worth millions with the country for years.
Perhaps it’s a good thing that Biden escaped from his basement when he did. It gave us an honest look at what he thinks of us as Americans. We’re stupid, racist, and need to be lied to for the sake of the country. We can’t handle the truth. We need to be protected by an aging politician who is having a love affair with China.
Joe Biden can lie and cheat and steal and call Americans as many names as he wants. One thing has become clear, though. He will not get the vote of enough voters in November because he’s an insulting, arrogant politician. Instead of making his way into the White House, he should go directly to a retirement home without passing go.
And whoever thought it would be a good idea for him to get access to the internet will likely be fired. He just burned the DNC’s chances of regaining power to the ground.

I call your attention to this. I did not write it I just posted.
AN INVESTMENT FIRM DIRECTED BY DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOE BIDEN’S SON HUNTER FUNNELED MILLIONS INTO CHINA GENERAL NUCLEAR POWER CORP, A STATE-OWNED POWER COMPANY GUILTY OF STEALING AMERICAN NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY FOR USE BY THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY FOR DECADES. By Natalie Winters
In 2017, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Taiwan pleaded guilty to “conspiracy to unlawfully engage or participate in the production or development of special nuclear material outside the U.S.” per the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ charged Allen Ho, a consultant for China General Nuclear Power Company (CGN), with “assisting CGN in procuring U.S.-based nuclear engineers to assist with designing and manufacturing certain components for nuclear reactors” for nearly two decades.
He was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay a $20,000 fine.
Ho was part of a company-wide scheme to steal and transfer American nuclear secrets – identified by the DOJ as posing “significant damage to our national security” – to the CCP-owned CGN.
These technologies likely saw use by the Chinese military, as the U.S. Defense Department has identified the company as a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) proxy.
Ho’s U.S. company Energy Technology International was also in on the ruse, headquartered in the former Veep’s place of residence: Wilmington, Delaware.

What Obama proved, once again, is that when he was president he was purposely one of the most dangerous and divisive presidents we have ever had. Talk about a racist and today he simply validated my view.
I know something about Bull Connor and for Obama to bring that name up and associate police and his successor is both despicable and meant to inflame.

This from a very dear friend, fellow memo reader and tennis player. I sent him a video which was too coarse, even for me, to post.
"Dick: I have never seen anyone tell the truth in a more concise or colorful way. I LOVE that guy. I only spent 34 years in law enforcement. What do I know? I love the morons who think more black people are arrested or jailed because of racial discrimination. I never arrested anyone for being black in public. It's a well documented fact (although largely ignored) that blacks commit a hugely disproportionate amount of crime. What all those BLM imbeciles don't want to admit is that 90% of the victims are other black people. What about them? I guess they don't matter. T----

I then inquired how he was doing and hisresponse:
"I'm doing OK. Minimal discomfort. Just waiting for the fracture to mend. Tennis is still a couple of months away.
Unfortunately, I have a huge amount of time on my hands. I sat and watched the entire Barr (so called) hearing. I can't recall seeing anything more appalling. Only people who have no shame could behave in such a disgusting manner.
I hope and Lynn are doing well. Are you playing tennis?"

A unified reminder of the Iranian threat
Ironically, the jolt back to Israel's pre-pandemic reality served as a refreshing break from the incessant coverage of the coronavirus, economic crisis, and nationwide protests.
In a rare moment of unity, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz addressed the nation together on Monday night. Hours earlier, the shaky coalition partners – whose agreement stipulates a rotation of the premiership in November 2021 – engaged in a proverbial battle over the budget. If one is not passed by Aug. 25, less than a month from now, the Knesset will dissolve automatically, and new elections will be held.
But the issue of whether to pass the one-year budget that Netanyahu is seeking or the two-year budget on which Gantz is insisting was not the subject of their joint announcement, which they delivered live on prime-time television.
No, the focus of the Netanyahu-Gantz press conference was on a fight of a more literal nature – one involving external enemies, not internecine strife. Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces had thwarted the infiltration of Hezbollah terrorists into the country via Lebanon. Had the border breach not been detected and countered, any number of Israeli soldiers and civilians could have been wounded, kidnapped, or killed.
The message that Netanyahu and Gantz conveyed, each in turn, had a double aim: to reassure the Israeli public that the government and the army are in control of the situation, and to warn Tehran and its proxies – housed by Beirut and abetted by Damascus – that Jerusalem is willing and able to deal them a crushing blow.
Ironically, this jolt back to Israel's pre-pandemic reality served as a refreshing break from the incessant coverage of the coronavirus, economic crisis, and nationwide protests.
"Israel will continue to take action against Iran's efforts to entrench militarily in our region," Netanyahu began, apparently in a veiled reference to a series of recent "unexplained" and "mysterious" explosions at power plants and industrial facilities across the Islamic Republic.
After giving credit to the IDF for preventing the Hezbollah cell from accomplishing its mission, he said "we view the effort to infiltrate into our territory with utmost gravity. Hezbollah and Lebanon bear full responsibility for this incident and for any attack against the State of Israel emanating from Lebanese territory."
He went on: "Hezbollah needs to understand that it is playing with fire. Any attack against us will be met with great strength."
He concluded by reminding the Shi'ite terror master of the "major mistake" that he made in 2006, when he sparked a war with the Jewish state and "underestimate[ed] Israel's determination to defend itself."
This caused Lebanon to "pay a heavy price," he said, suggesting that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah "not repeat" the error.
Gantz directed his words at the countries harboring Nasrallah's bands of murderers.
"Lebanon and Syria are sovereign states and will bear the painful responsibility for any terrorist act that takes place on their territory," he said. "Anyone who dares to test the power of the IDF will endanger himself and the country from which he operates. Any action against the State of Israel will lead to a powerful, sharp, and painful response."
He ended with a promise and a threat.
"The IDF is ready to respond; the IDF is prepared for a response," he declared. "The State of Israel, the defense establishment, and the IDF will continue to operate wherever it is necessary to do so, as near or far as this may be."
The significance of Netanyahu's and Gantz's remarks – exactly 14 years after the Second War in Lebanon – cannot be overstated, particularly in light of their disparate positions on everything else. During that 34-day military conflict in the summer of 2006, which began on July 12 and ended on Aug. 14, then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stressed that Israel had "no conflict with Lebanon and its people."
This proved extremely problematic, of course, because Hezbollah, like Hamas in Gaza, used civilians as human shields, and civilian infrastructure for the storage and production of weaponry. Avoiding collateral damage, then, was detrimental to defeating the enemy.
To make matters far worse, the United Nations-brokered "end" to the war – the enactment of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 – was a disaster. In the first place, it was slanted against Israel. No surprise there.
Secondly, it deployed the UN Interim Force in Lebanon to monitor Israel's withdrawal, assist the Lebanese government in deploying its army in the south and keep Hezbollah from rebuilding its arsenal of death.
Well, neither the Lebanese government nor UNIFIL adhered to any of the resolution's clauses. Hezbollah proceeded to rearm unhindered, while increasing its power in the Lebanese Parliament.
Today, it is estimated to possess as many as 120,000 missiles, rockets and mortars that it amassed under UNIFIL's "watchful" eye. Oh, and it constructed several massive, well-equipped terror tunnels extending from Lebanon into Israel, the last of which was sealed off by the IDF in June 2019.
Netanyahu has led the Israeli government since the 2009 elections, following Olmert's resignation and the failure of Tzipi Livni – his successor as the head of the now-defunct Kadima party – to forge a coalition. His lengthy tenure at the helm is due in large measure to the sense of security that he has instilled in a populace faced with mortal enemies along and within its borders.
His initial handling of the coronavirus crisis, too, seemed to be a source of comfort – so much so that even some of his worst detractors grudgingly gave him credit for it. It wasn't until after he and Gantz formed the current national-unity government that the rallies against him turned violent.
Suddenly, mobs began to take to the streets, with rioters demanding that the "crime minister" resign, that restaurants remain open, and that Judea and Samaria not be "annexed," among many other non-related complaints.
One woman, for example, climbed onto a menorah statue near the Knesset and bared her breasts "to put the social workers' strike on the agenda."
There is no doubt that Hezbollah and its puppeteers in Tehran – all of whom have been suffering from their own COVID-19 and economic crises – are observing the chaos in Israel with satisfaction. They undoubtedly interpret it as a sign that Netanyahu is both distracted and weakened, which may help to explain Monday's incident at the northern border.
What neither they nor his domestic rivals seem to take into account is that Israelis waving posters and chanting slogans feel safe – not from the physical and financial ramifications of the virus, but from Iranian aggression.

US announces new sanctions on Syrians, including Assad family
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: The Assad regime has become a symbol of brutality, repression, and corruption. Sanctions are the only credible path to the peace the Syrian people deserve
The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on 39 individuals and entities including Syrian President Bashar Assad and his wife Asma to choke off revenue for his government in a bid to push it back to United Nations-led negotiations.
In a statement announcing the designations imposed under the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, enacted by US President Donald Trump in December, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said "many more" sanctions against Assad government should be expected in the coming weeks and months.
Also on the sanctions list is the First Division of the Syrian Arab Army, as per the statement posted on the State Department website.
"The Assad regime's military has become a symbol of brutality, repression, and corruption," Pompeo said in a statement. "They have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, detained and tortured peaceful protesters, and destroyed schools, hospitals, and markets without regard to human life."
Sanctions are "the only credible path to the peace the Syrian people deserve," Pompeo asserted in a tweet.
The Caesar Act, formally known as the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, aims to punish the Syrian regime over its human rights violations.
