Price Tower

…The Tulsa Indian Coalition Against Racism said the [Bartlesville] Indian Summer Festival and Powwow is funded with dirty money.

"This powwow group ... solicited the Redskins and asked for money," Whitecloud said.…

Gasp! The horror! I had just been wondering how this annual festival of AmerIndian culture and art had not drawn the ire of some racist thug group, and voila! At least they didn't attack the festival directly, just the "dirty" Redskin financing. It would be funnier if it weren't so sad.

Trump, smiling

The Fraternal Order of Police – the largest police union in the nation – has given their full endorsement Republican nominee Donald Trump.… Every election year, the union sends out a detailed questionnaire to each candidate, then the members review the answers and vote on who they wish to endorse at their September meeting. Hillary Clinton refused to even return the questionnaire, which the union took as a powerful snub.

Trump, on the other hand, not only returned the questionnaire, but invited union leaders to meet with him in Trump Tower, and has honored law enforcement everywhere he goes.…

…Seizing on Donald Trump’s suggestion that Hillary Clinton’s bodyguards should disarm and “let’s see what happens to her,” CNN went into full Clinton-campaign mode this morning.

Leading the charge was Christi Paul, whom CNN curiously bills as an “anchor” rather than the Clinton surrogate she appears to be. Said Paul to Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord: "Let’s say Joe Schmoe out in the audience said something like that. That would be seen, most likely, as a threat of some sort, and he would be hauled away. How is it that Donald Trump gets away with it?"…

But Hillary's insecure emails? Average justice.

Pepe the Frog

…It has recently been revealed that a cartoon frog named Pepe, designed some decade ago for an obscure internet cartoon series, is in fact a symbol of the evil White Supremacy Movement. Although the evil White Supremacy Movement was not aware of this fact, it is so because the major networks have proclaimed it to be true.

…What we need is a stable of items that can be associated with evil Trump that can be proclaimed symbols of racism and hatred. …I will start the ball rolling…

…In Hillary Clinton’s America, there are two sets of rules. One for the Little People and another for people like her.

Hillary Clinton really does believe that she is our better.

Donald Trump made that point abundantly clear last night.

So naturally the Enslaved Press has to work themselves into a lather and feign horror at what he said.

”Trump once again threatens Hillary with assassination!!!”

Yeah. Right.…
