‘Its The Economy, Stupid!’ Black And Hispanic Voters Embrace Trump On Economics And Well-Being

Our Take: “Black and brown voters aren’t ’moving towards Trump’ so much as moving away from the uniparty left and its rainbow communism. 

It’s the economy, sure, but it’s also the overt bigotry, the mutilation of children, the disarmament, the three theaters of war, the open border, the attack on energy, the demented so-called ruler of the US, and so much more. 

Black and brown voters share the same concerns as Asian voters and Pacific Islander voters and white voters. They are American concerns and Americans are largely unified in them. From that realization, the logical electoral choice is President Trump. 

That is, voters aren’t ‘moving towards Trump;’ they’re realizing they were with Trump — his policies and platform and vision for America — all along.” — Ashe in America

Epoch Times reporter Tom Ozimek recently wrote in these pages of former President Donald Trump’s encounter with Kayla Montgomery, a young Republican political consultant whose business is to “engage young, black professionals, students, and community members” in the Atlanta area. The ex-president and Ms. Montgomery met at a Chick-fil-A restaurant during an impromptu campaign stop in Atlanta. Ms. Montgomery was effusive in her praise of President Trump, saying, “I don’t care what the media tells you, President Trump—we support you!” A video of Ms. Montgomery and the former president hugging soon went viral, even as the media and Democrats quickly dismissed the interaction as “staged.”

Then, last week, President Trump left his trial in Manhattan to visit a bodega in Washington Heights, a mostly black and immigrant community on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and received a hero’s welcome from the working people there.

Whether the Chick-fil-A event was staged or not is open to debate. What is undeniable, though, is that polling shows Donald Trump has upended much of the black and Hispanic voting support Democrats have enjoyed since at least Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” and, at least in some instances, back to FDR’s New Deal.

A Wall Street Journal poll showed that President Trump’s support among black men in swing states had moved to 30 percent earlier this month compared to just 11 percent of black men nationally in 2020. Among black women, those same percentages went from 6 percent in 2020 to 11 percent in April. — The Epoch Times

Pro-Palestinian protests sweep US college campuses following mass arrests at Columbia

Our Take: “‘When the chips are down. These people. They’ll eat each other.’

One of the most interesting Macros spinning out of the Crisis Cascade is the Ouroboros pattern consuming college campuses, threatening the culture-setting paradigm of what we’re told is the ideology currently in control of our nation.

From pro-Palestinian protests that have quickly changed in a subtle, meaningful way to anti-Israel demonstrations, the narrative-setters out of the establishment are having difficulty corralling the sociopolitical beast they cultivated, pampered and unleashed during the first Trump Administration, when their army of commie zombies would march at their every hash-tagging beck and call.

Now, with Trump not only seen as publicly outside of the halls of power, but still actively hunted by those within them, said zombies have no target on which to focus the very tension the powers that (seemingly) be programmed into them in the first place, so they’re turning on the stories of their masters.” — Burning Bright

Columbia canceled in-person classes, dozens of protesters were arrested at New York University and Yale, and the gates to Harvard Yard were closed to the public Monday as some of the most prestigious U.S. universities sought to defuse campus tensions over Israel’s war with Hamas.

More than 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had camped out on Columbia’s green were arrested last week, and similar encampments have sprouted up at universities around the country as schools struggle with where to draw the line between allowing free expression while maintaining safe and inclusive campuses.

At New York University, an encampment set up by students swelled to hundreds of protesters throughout the day Monday. The school said it warned the crowd to leave, then called in the police after the scene became disorderly and the university said it learned of reports of “intimidating chants and several antisemitic incidents.” Shortly after 8:30 p.m., officers began making arrests.

“It’s a really outrageous crackdown by the university to allow the police to arrest students on our own campus,” said New York University law student Byul Yoon. — AP News

Israel steps up strikes across Gaza, orders new evacuations in north

Our Take: “I can’t help but wonder if the true purpose of this Gaza offensive is not to eradicate Hamas, but to grow it. 

Looking at some of the other headlines out of Israel, one of them is, ‘Marking 200 days of war, Hamas calls for escalation across all fronts.’

’The spokesperson for Hamas’s armed wing the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, called on Tuesday for an escalation across all fronts in a televised speech marking 200 days since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October.’

The timing of this aligns with the IDF’s decision to Jen Psaki back to northern Gaza for another round of bombing, highlighting the fact that even carpet-bombing a city into dust is not enough to eliminate an ideology from existence. 

Back in January, the former head of the Shin Bet (Israeli domestic security force), Ami Ayalon, said in an interview that he has come to realize that the only way that Israel will ever have peace and security is if the Palestinians have hope for the future—advocating for a two-state solution. 

Ayalon pointed out that people who are desperate and without hope will always turn to violence and zealotry, as they face their own existential demise. And he is absolutely right. 

The more that the IDF bombs Palestine into oblivion, the more radicalized vigilantes it creates. That sentiment will spread beyond Palestine and into the region—just look at what is happening right now on American campuses. 

Now consider how President Donald Trump so quickly wiped out ISIS without carpet bombing civilian settlements. Without knowing the specifics, we can speculate that they were surgical and precise, likely targeting key leaders as well as sources of funding. We certainly didn’t get any Tik Tok videos of cratered city blocks and bloodied civilians. If those existed, you know they would have played 24/7 on CNN, ad nauseam. 

The strategy Trump employed was designed to contain the ideology, so the parties backing ISIS couldn’t use it as recruiting material. The strategy we are witnessing now in Gaza is the opposite approach, with the opposite net effect. Surely, the military strategists behind it are well aware of this. I suspect that is the point.” — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

Israeli strikes intensified across Gaza on Tuesday in some of the heaviest shelling in weeks, residents said, and the army ordered fresh evacuations in the north of the enclave, warning civilians they were in a “dangerous combat zone”.

Strikes by air and shelling from tanks on the ground were also reported in central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip in what residents said late on Tuesday were almost 24 hours of non-stop bombardments.

In a post on social media platform X, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee urged residents of four zones in Beit Lahiya on Gaza’s northern edge to move to two designated areas.

He said the military “will work with extreme force against terrorist infrastructure and subversive elements” in the region.

In a statement issued later on Tuesday, the military said it “follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm.”

The renewed shelling and bombing of northern Gaza comes almost four months after the Israeli army announced it was drawing down troops there, saying Hamas no longer controlled those areas. — Reuters

Lancet: Migration Is ‘Inextricably Linked to Climate Change’

Our Take: “This is a long game, and we’re not at the beginning but in the middle. 

The globalist ‘thought leaders’ have been pushing the ‘great migration’ for decades. Diversifying to destabilize is a highly effective tactic — just ask Sweden. In case you don’t click that link, the title of the article is ‘Swedish PM says integration of immigrants has failed, fueled gang crime.’ That was, of course, the point. Denver should take note; they won’t, because they’re on board with the goal.

The goal is an open society where national sovereignty ceases to exist and nation state authority is directed by the globalists. Nation states won’t yield their sovereignty willingly, so they need to be destabilized and overrun with crime and chaos. 

Problem. Reaction. Solution. On a three-plus decade timeline.

Climate provides the perfect narrative cover causation. These people aren’t moving because they want to destabilize your community. They’re moving to your neighborhood because the planet is dying. And the planet is dying because you’re killing it, western nations, so suck it up, welcome the newcomers, and don’t bitch about it. 

None of that is true, of course. At best, the migrants are moving because the globalists first targeted their homelands — destabilized and destroyed. At worst, they’re troops. And in no realistic scenario is any of it about climate.” — Ashe in America

The once prestigious Lancet medical journal is galloping onward in its woke agenda, insisting on an “inextricable” link between climate change and immigration.

In its most recent issue, the Lancet laments a lack of widespread appreciation for the “climate–migration–health nexus,” while urging greater efforts to awaken the public to the problem.

“Climate change is increasingly driving population movement, acting as a driver of and a barrier to migration and as a hazard experienced during journeys or on arrival at new destinations,” the journal contends.

The article fails to explain how climate — something measured in 30-year swaths as opposed to daily occurring weather — can act as a barrier or a hazard to anything. — Breitbert
