Trump Brings Alleged Gang Members on Stage to Win Over Black Voters at Bronx Rally

Former President Donald Trump made an appearance at a rally in the Bronx where he invited two rappers, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, who are currently charged in a felony gang case, to join him on stage. Sheff G, whose real name is Michael Williams, is facing attempted murder charges, while Sleepy Hallow, also known as Tegan Chambers, is facing conspiracy charges.

Both rappers have pleaded not guilty. Trump's decision to associate with suspected gang members comes as he is facing his own legal challenges and is attempting to appeal to Black voters as he challenges the reelection of President Joe Biden.

However, his strategy has been criticized as offensive and racist by some politicians and activists. Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are due back in court next month.

Tim Scott Slams Biden's Record on Race, Claims Education Policy Reinforces Segregation

In a recent interview on CNN's State of the Union, Senator Tim Scott criticized President Joe Biden's record on race and alleged that Biden's education policy is "resegregating schools." Scott, the only black Republican in the U.

S. Senate, argued that the black community was attracted to the Trump administration because of its focus on jobs and justice issues.

He highlighted past remarks from Biden, such as his comments about "racial jungles" resulting from desegregation and his statement that "if you don't vote for me, you can't be black." Scott also claimed that Biden's lack of support for charter schools is resegregating schools in America, particularly in cities like Chicago where black children are not allowed access to public schools.

Scott emphasized the importance of a good education and criticized blue cities for denying poor black children the opportunity to attend public schools within their own cities.

Democrat Disaster: Minority Voters Bolt from Biden, Posing a Threat to Dems

The Democratic Party could be heading for disaster as minority voters are starting to abandon their support for President Biden, according to an article by Rich Lowry. Polling data indicates that Biden is losing support among Latino and African-American voters, with Trump even surpassing him in popularity among Hispanic voters in a New York Times poll.

The problem lies in the Democrats' assumption that all minority voters can be lumped together as "people of color" and appealed to with woke political messaging. However, Hispanic voters, in particular, care about the economy and the country's direction, just like any other demographic.

Furthermore, attitudes towards issues like immigration are also affecting minority voters' views and causing a divide among classes, with working-class Hispanics more likely to lean conservative. If culturally conservative non-whites turn away from the Democratic coalition, it could be a major advantage for the GOP.

Dad's Legacy Lives On: Honoring the First Black Michigander at West Point on Memorial Day

The author honors her father, Clarence Davenport Jr., on Memorial Day, as he was the first Black Michigander to be admitted to the U.

S. Military Academy at West Point.

Clarence's admission to West Point in 1939 was a significant achievement, as he was only the third African American to graduate from the academy in the entire 20th century. Growing up in Detroit, Clarence's exceptional academic abilities and determination to succeed propelled him to West Point.

The support of a white-dominated high school, Pershing High School, and the nomination from a white Congressman helped secure Clarence's admission. Despite facing racial discrimination and isolation during his time at West Point, Clarence graduated with the class of 1943 and went on to have a distinguished military career.

The author reflects on the progress made in diversifying West Point since her father's time but raises concerns about the future, particularly regarding affirmative action and voting rights. The best way to honor those who sacrificed for the United States, the author argues, is by exercising civic responsibility and voting.

Tim Scott Defends Black Voters Against Biden's Insulting Ad in Fiery Response

Senator Tim Scott has criticized an ad released by President Joe Biden's campaign that targets Black voters, calling it "insulting" and highlighting former President Donald Trump's work for the Black community. Scott argued that under Trump, Black wages were increasing, while under Biden, "fairness is going down.

" The ad from Biden's campaign attacked Trump for his treatment of the Black community and accused him of supporting white supremacists. Scott sought to discredit Biden's record with the Black community by pointing to Biden's controversial past remarks.

Recent polls have shown a decrease in support for Biden among Black voters, a key demographic for his reelection.

Republican Tim Scott's False Claim: Biden Policy Resegregates Public Schools, Raises Eyebrows

Republican Senator Tim Scott has falsely claimed that President Joe Biden's education policies are resegregating public schools in the US. Scott made the remarks during an interview on CNN's State of the Union show.

He argued that the elimination of charter schools under Biden is leading to school resegregation. However, research conducted by sociologists at Stanford University and the University of Southern California shows that charter schools have been one of the main drivers of school resegregation in the past 30 years.

Contrary to Scott's claim, charter schools are actually receiving federal funding through the Charter Schools Program. Scott's remarks come as former President Donald Trump's inner circle is intensifying efforts to attract Black and minority voters.

Trump recently held a rally in the South Bronx, attempting to sway voters with claims about immigration and crime rates impacting minority communities. Recent polls suggest that Trump's support among these demographics is increasing.

Rep. Byron Donalds Claps Back at Joy Reid: 'MSNBC Is Using' Her in Fiery Exchange

Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds has criticized MSNBC host Joy Reid after she dismissed him as a Black MAGA (Make America Great Again) prop during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday.

" Reid made the accusation after Donalds attended former President Donald Trump's rally in the Bronx, arguing that he is being used by the GOP to prove that Black people support the party. Donalds responded during an interview, stating that he finds Reid's comments to be nothing more than negativity and that he believes MSNBC is using her.

He emphasized that he has a different viewpoint and politics, but he is not being used. Donalds also discussed the importance of expanding the political map rather than narrowing it based on race, in response to President Joe Biden's loss of support among Black voters.

Detroit Faces Potential Lack of Black Representation in Congress Again as Top Candidate Disqualified

Detroit could potentially be without Black representation in Congress again after election officials ruled that a leading Democratic candidate, former state Sen. Adam Hollier, did not submit enough valid signatures to appear on the ballot.

Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett determined that nearly half of the signatures submitted by Hollier were invalid, leaving Detroit without Black representation in Congress for another term. The ruling is seen as a boost for the reelection bid of incumbent U.

S. Rep.

Shri Thanedar, who won the Democratic primary in 2022. The decision could be appealed, but with Hollier off the ballot, support is expected to shift to Mary Waters, a former state House member.

Thanedar, a wealthy businessman, has a significant cash advantage and is expected to win the primary, given Detroit's heavily Democratic population.

The Real Motivation Behind Republican Voter Suppression Revealed - It's Not Just About Politics

The article discusses the issue of Republican voter suppression in the United States and argues that it is driven by more than just partisanship. The author highlights the Supreme Court's 2013 decision to gut the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which removed the requirement for states and counties with histories of racial discrimination to obtain approval from the Justice Department for changes to voting laws.

Since then, at least 29 states have passed 94 restrictive voting laws, making it more difficult for Black, brown, Indigenous, and college student voters, who tend to lean Democratic, to cast their ballots. The article also mentions the documentary "Suppressed and Sabotaged" by Brave New Films, which explores the voter suppression tactics employed during the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election.

The Brennan Center for Justice's analysis suggests that racial animus, rather than just partisan politics, is a driving force behind these voter suppression efforts. Despite these challenges, the author expresses hope that democracy will prevail and voters will continue to fight for access to voting.

The Mistake That Cost the Democrats the Working Class: How the 'Obama Coalition' Backfired

This article discusses how the Democratic Party's focus on the "Obama coalition" – young voters, black, Latino, and Asian-American voters, and university-educated women – has cost them the support of the working class. After Barack Obama's victory in 2008, Democratic strategists believed that they could secure future dominance by appealing to these groups, as their percentage of the overall electorate was growing.

However, in their efforts to cultivate and keep this coalition together, they neglected outreach to white working-class voters, leaving them open to their Republican opponents. The article argues that the Democrats fell into a trap set by Republicans, who exploited the economic fears and resentment of white voters using racist and xenophobic messages.

As a result, the Democrats lost significant support and control of Congress. The article concludes by suggesting that the party needs to pay attention to the needs and values of both their old coalition and other diverse voter groups in order to secure future elections.
