   I’m amazed by their ignorance. They don’t get that most black people are moderate to conservative. And surprisingly patriotic. Especially about successful military folk. Unlike most whites most black people have family/friends who’ve served.

   THEY have silenced and canceled people for even bringing up positive stereotypes about THEIR people. But black folks being called "planet of the apes" need to just get over it and get on board with Bernie cuz coalition building.

   Another exoneration highlights the need for criminal justice reform. Theophalis Wilson was released after a Philadelphia court vacated his wrongful conviction and dismissed all charges. He was exonerated by @DA_LarryKrasner's Conviction Integrity Unit. https://t.co/60vcM6LG3Y

   Is God punishing us for what we did to Vietnam?

   More than anything else, the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, like AOC, Omar, Cryin’ Chuck, Nervous Nancy & Shifty Schiff, are angry & “deranged” over the fact that Republicans are up to 191 Federal Judges & Two Great New Supreme Court Justices. Don’t blame me, blame Obama!

   I don't want to go to bed tonight without saying that Adam Schiff is one of the great attorneys of his generation, and his arguments this week were some of the most stirring, inspiring, ethical, admirable orations America has seen in over a quarter-century.
