Obama Claims White House Built By Slaves; Here's the Truth | The Federalist Papers:
"The infamous three-fifths clause of The Constitution, although often ignorantly condemned as dehumanizing of slaves, was a strategic measure to erode the power of the southern states in The Congress, and ultimately lead to the slaves’ emancipation.

Once again, the Obama’s never let historical facts get in the way of their race-baiting disses of America."

LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
http://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/07/july-27-2016-founded-on-freedom-by.html
The beauty of
this new system of government continued with the division of powers. The legislative branch would make the laws.
The judicial branch would interpret the laws and determine their
constitutionality, if challenged, and the executive branch would enforce the laws
created by the people through elected representation, not one individual.
http://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/07/july-27-2016-founded-on-freedom-by.html
Founded On Freedom
By Tammy Derouin
The United States was
founded on freedom; the belief that man should live free. We the people are not
subjects or the property of the state. A system of government, of the
people, by the people and for the people was created by our founding fathers.
The law would no longer be controlled by a head of state. The law
would be created by the elected representatives of the American citizens and applied
equally among all.
Each branch would
operate within its boundaries as established by the law of the land, the U.S.
Constitution. The branches of government are prohibited from encroaching
on the duties and responsibilities of the other. Too much power or
authority within one branch would end freedom and reestablish tyranny.
The war to end
dictatorial rule was hard fought but won. Future generations would live
free if they guarded their gifts wisely and vigilantly. Unfortunately,
the gifts of freedom and independence have been taken for granted. So
many, especially our younger generations, do not realized how blessed they are
to have been born an American. Far too many do not have an understanding
of the importance of our founding documents. The United States
established freedom and recognized our God given rights. In the United
States, the people control and restrain the government. This was a
revolutionary idea 240 years ago.......
The One Thing Democrats Failed to Mention a Single Time During Day 1 of DNC | Video | TheBlaze.com
The One Thing Democrats Failed to Mention a Single Time During Day 1 of DNC | Video | TheBlaze.com:
"After the claim was floated by Republicans, the fact-checking website failed to find even one reference of “ISIS,” “Islamic,” “terror,” “terrorist,” or “terrorism” after searching through DNC transcripts. More from the report:
That said, as it concerns the convention in Philadelphia, the RNC’s statement is literally correct. Based on our searches of C-SPAN closed-captioning text, Congressional Quarterly transcripts and other video archiving services, we couldn’t find any speaker who mentioned “ISIS,” “Islamic” “terror,” “terrorist,” or “terrorism” during the first day of the convention."

Seeing Food Stamp Use Changed My Mind About Democrats
Seeing Food Stamp Use Changed My Mind About Democrats:
"Mamaw encouraged me to get a job—she told me that it would be good for me and that I needed to learn the value of a dollar.
When her encouragement fell on deaf ears, she then demanded that I get a job, and so I did, as a cashier at Dillman’s, a local grocery store.
Working as a cashier turned me into an amateur sociologist.
...I also learned how people gamed the welfare system.
They’d buy two dozen packs of soda with food stamps and then sell them at a discount for cash. They’d ring up their orders separately, buying food with food stamps, and beer, wine, and cigarettes with cash.
They’d regularly go through the checkout line speaking on their cell phones.
I could never understand why our lives felt like a struggle while those living off of government largesse enjoyed trinkets that I only dreamed about.
Mamaw listened intently to my experiences at Dillman’s.
We began to view much of our fellow working class with mistrust.
Most of us were struggling to get by, but we made do, worked hard, and hoped for a better life.
But a large minority was content to live off the dole.
Every two weeks, I’d get a small paycheck and notice the line where federal and state income taxes were deducted from my wages.
At least as often, our drug-addict neighbor would buy T-bone steaks, which I was too poor to buy for myself but was forced by Uncle Sam to buy for someone else.
This was my mindset when I was seventeen, and though I’m far less angry today than I was then, it was my first indication that the policies of Mamaw’s “party of the working man”—the Democrats—weren’t all they were cracked up to be.
...A big part of the explanation lies in the fact that many in the white working class saw precisely what I did, working at Dillman’s.
As far back as the 1970s, the white working class began to turn to Richard Nixon because of a perception that, as one man put it, government was “payin’ people who are on welfare today doin’ nothin’!
They’re laughin’ at our society!
And we’re all hardworkin’ people and we’re gettin’ laughed at for workin’ every day!”"

Peak Irony: Mexico Wants To Build The Wall To Stop Illegal Immigration
Peak Irony: Mexico Wants To Build The Wall To Stop Illegal Immigration | Zero Hedge:
"It turns out that Donald Trump’s proposed border wall is not such a bad idea after all.
Though Mexico’s current and former Presidents have both lambasted Trump for implying that a wall would curb immigration, it turns out that Mexicans like the idea.
There is one small caveat, however.
Mexicans don’t want to build the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, but rather, they want to stem the tide of immigration into their own country by building the wall on their southern border with central America:
One of the largest newspapers along Mexico’s border with Texas is calling for a border wall with Central America, similar to the one being promoted by Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump.
The editorial board of El Mañana, one of the largest newspapers in the border state of Tamaulipas, penned a piece called “Yes to the Border Wall … but in Mexico’s South.”
The piece praises the idea of border wall, not on the border with Mexico, but on the border with Central America.
“Along the Mexican border peace and quiet came to an end, Central Americans played a large influence,” El Mañana’s piece claimed..."

Trump's Speech Wasn't 'Dark' Enough
Trump's Speech Wasn't 'Dark' Enough - Dennis Prager:
"One of the many remarkable traits of the progressives is their lack of self-awareness.
This trait was on display last week in the media and Democratic Party's characterization of Donald Trump's acceptance speech -- and the entire Republican National Convention -- as "dark."
For the left to dismiss other Americans as having a dark view of America is preposterous.
Because no one -- not Trump, not the Republican Party, not any conservative -- has nearly as dark a view of America as does the left.
Across the board -- from the universities to the media to the Democratic Party -- the left, around the world and in America, has an unremittingly dark view of the United States.
Here's a brief glimpse.
Is there anything in Trump's speech that can match any of those left-wing views of the United States for "darkness"?
Moreover, every one of those leftist critiques of America is false.
Nevertheless, we are in a dark time in America.
In fact, Trump didn't make the case for America's darkness nearly effectively enough.
Is that dark enough?
And the list is only a partial one.

- --Racism "is part of our (American) DNA," President Barack Obama said in 2015. Is there anything Trump said in his acceptance speech that is as dark about America as that?
- --On July Fourth weekend, Vox published a long column arguing "3 reasons the American Revolution was a mistake."
- --The most widely read historian in American high schools and colleges, the late left-wing professor Howard Zinn, was asked (by me) whether he thought the United States had done more good or more bad in the world. "Probably more bad than good," he answered.
- --The left regularly characterizes the United States as a sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist and bigoted country.
- --Our wars are wars for imperialist expansion, driven by material greed.
- --The top 1 percent relentlessly exploits the other 99 percent.
- --America is rigged against blacks, Hispanics and the 99 percent.
- --Cops kill unarmed blacks proportionately more than they kill unarmed whites because so many cops are racist.
- --About 1 in 5 female college students are sexually assaulted on campus.

- --Our universities -- outside of the natural sciences -- are being destroyed as learning institutions. They close minds, censor speech and indoctrinate rather than educate.
- --Blacks have more anger toward whites and America than at any time since the civil rights era.
- --American students are learning less while being indoctrinated more. They graduate high school barely able to write a coherent essay with proper sentence structure, grammar and spelling. But they know all about the existential threat allegedly posed by fossil fuels.
- --According to a recent Gallup Poll, fewer young Americans than at any time since polling began are proud to be Americans.
- --A greater percentage of Americans are dependent upon government for their income and even for food than at any time in American history.
- --The American national debt is the highest it has ever been. And it is increasing at a rate that can only lead to an economic implosion.
- --A smaller percentage of Americans are married than at any time in American history.
- --Americans are having fewer children than ever.
- --Fewer businesses in proportion to the general population are being started than ever before.
- --Sectors of major American cities are essentially killing zones.
- --Fewer Americans than ever before believe in God, go to church or affirm Judeo-Christian values, the basic moral code of America's founding and of Western civilization.
- --Only 2 in 10 black children are born to a married mother.

The legend of slaves building Capitol is correct | PolitiFact
"Every now and then, a fact goes viral.
Current case in point: that slaves helped construct the U.S. Capitol, where the son of an African man is set to be sworn in as the nation's 44th president.
Pundits and politicians have mentioned this dozens of times in the past few days, wielding it as potent shorthand for all the historical import of the moment.
..."The Capitol was built by slaves," Pelosi said. "
...It turns out there's far less in the historical record on the subject than one might expect.
Early historians of the Capitol's construction were largely indifferent to the work of common laborers, both paid and slave.
Records from the time are spotty.
Only in the past 15 years or so has attention been trained on the role slaves played in constructing perhaps the nation's most important building — and the work has been led not by professional historians, but by individuals who developed a personal interest in the subject, such as retired Washington television reporter Ed Hotaling and freelance writer Bob Arnebeck.
In 2005, Congress appointed a task force to research the subject, which issued a report in conjunction with the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, finally bringing a measure of scholarly rigor to bear on the topic.
The task force acknowledged it was not able to tell the full story. "No one will ever know how many slaves helped to build the United States Capitol Building — or the White House," says the 2005 task force report, entitled History of Slave Laborers in the Construction of the United States Capitol.
...The commissioners' use of slave labor was unremarkable for the time.
When the Capitol was constructed, from 1793 to 1826, the building trades in almost every colony augmented the work force with slave labor.
...Pelosi might have specified that slaves were only part of the work force, but they were involved with almost every aspect of construction for at least the first several years.
We find her statement True."

JULIAN ASSANGE Slams "Corrupt" Hillary Clinton in First Interview Following Wikileaks DNC Email Release (VIDEO)
JULIAN ASSANGE Slams "Corrupt" Hillary Clinton in First Interview Following Wikileaks DNC Email Release (VIDEO):
"Assange told Democracy Now that it’s quite remarkable what happened in the last few days.
He slammed ‘corrupt’ Hillary Clinton:
JULIAN ASSANGE:
"Well, I mean, that’s interesting. We have seen that with a lot of other publications. I guess there’s a question: What does that mean for the U.S. Democratic Party?
It is important for there to be examples of accountability.
The resignation was an example of that. Now, of course, Hillary Clinton has tried to immediately produce a counter-example by putting out a statement, within hours, saying that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a great friend, and she’s incorporating her into her campaign, she’s going to be pushing for her re-election to the Congress.
So that’s a very interesting signaling by Hillary Clinton that if you act in a corrupt way that benefits Hillary Clinton, you will be taken care of.
Why does she need to put that out? Certainly, it’s not a signal that helps with the public at all. It’s not a signal that helps with unity at the DNC, at the convention.
It’s a signal to Hillary Clinton partisans to keep on going on, you’ll be taken care of.

It doesn’t really matter what you do, how you behave; as long as that is going to benefit Hillary Clinton, you’ll be protected."
"Assange told Democracy Now that it’s quite remarkable what happened in the last few days.
He slammed ‘corrupt’ Hillary Clinton:
JULIAN ASSANGE:
"Well, I mean, that’s interesting. We have seen that with a lot of other publications. I guess there’s a question: What does that mean for the U.S. Democratic Party?
It is important for there to be examples of accountability.

DNC Planned To Reward Big Donors With Federal Appointments | The Daily Caller
"Democratic National Committee documents recently released by WikiLeaks include spreadsheets and emails that appear to show party officials planning which donors and prominent fundraisers to provide with appointments to federal boards and commissions.
...“That is unethical, if not illegal.”
The proposed appointments also provide more evidence that the DNC favored Clinton over her former primary challenger, Bernie Sanders.
Most of the donors listed on the spreadsheet have given to Clinton’s campaign.
None gave to Sanders.
...But one tip-off that the document is detailing a quid pro quo is an entry next to the name of David Shapira, the executive chairman of grocery store chain Giant Eagle, Inc.
“USPS” — a likely reference to the U.S. Postal Service — is entered on the spreadsheet.
