What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa: Trump Is Right

What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa: Trump Is Right
"Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town.  
Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. 
That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment."
In plain English: s--- is everywhere. 
People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust – onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. 
He warned us the first day of training: do not even touch water. 
Human feces carries parasites that bore through your skin and cause organ failure.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a few decades later, liberals would be pushing the lie that Western civilization is no better than a third-world country.  
Or would teach two generations of our kids that loving your own culture and wanting to preserve it are racism.
Last time I was in Paris, I saw a beautiful African woman in a grand boubou have her child defecate on the sidewalk next to Notre Dame Cathedral.  
The French police officer, ten steps from her, turned his head not to see.
I have seen.  
I am not turning my head and pretending unpleasant things are not true.
Senegal was not a hellhole.  
Very poor people can lead happy, meaningful lives in their own cultures' terms.  
But they are not our terms.  
The excrement is the least of it.  
Our basic ideas of human relations, right and wrong, are incompatible.
...We are lectured by Democrats that we must privilege third-world immigration by the hundred million with chain migration.  
They tell us we must end America as a white, Western, Judeo-Christian, capitalist nation – to prove we are not racist.  
I don't need to prove a thing.  
Leftists want open borders because they resent whites, resent Western achievements, and hate America.  
They want to destroy America as we know it..."

Sen. Dick Durbin: I'm Working 'Full Time' for DACA Illegal Aliens

Sen. Dick Durbin: I'm Working 'Full Time' for DACA Illegal Aliens:

"Under Durbin’s DREAM Act, working and middle-class Americans would be put in further competition for U.S. jobs against up to 3.5 million newly legalized foreign nationals. A recent report found that 1 in 5 illegal aliens given amnesty under the DREAM Act would end up on food stamps and nearly 1 in 7 would end up on Medicaid, further straining the social safety net for America’s poor."

Why Leftists Hate Masculinity

Why Leftists Hate Masculinity
"An ongoing mantra of the left is that everyone is a victim, with a singular carve-out for white men.  A large group of the female population has embraced this chant.
While there may be a number of grievances put forth by this movement, there also comes a theme that is particularly dangerous: the feminist attack on masculinity.  
This is derived not only from feminists; it comes from the left in general.
There has emerged a war on masculinity.  
Why?  
Because masculine men are harder to control under tyrannical socialism. 
The modern beta male, on the other hand, craves socialism.  
This is why the left has branded masculinity as toxic: it stands as a roadblock to their endgame..."

Donald Trump's Support Among Blacks Has Doubled Since 2016, Amid Racism Claims - Breitbart

Donald Trump's Support Among Blacks Has Doubled Since 2016, Amid Racism Claims - Breitbart:

"Two new polls show President Donald Trump’s rising support among black voters, highlighting his political gains from pushing employers to hire Americans instead of lower-wage migrants.
The growing support from blacks — despite furious Democratic claims of racism — could become a shocking political validation in November when Trump will face millions of upper-income Democratic voters who are angry at his “Buy American, Hire American” policies."

"GOOD POINT: Hey President Trump, MLK Day would be a good time to criticize the FBI.

If President Trump wants to take a well-deserved swipe at the FBI, today is the day to do it. The FBI has a well-documented history of spying and harassing King during his prominence as a civil rights leader all the way up until his death. They wire-tapped his phone, read his mail, and did everything the could to delegitimize and “neutralize” him. The FBI, led by J. Edgar Hoover, even sent a suicide letter to King encouraging him to kill himself.

President Trump, in many ways, is right about the FBI abusing their power, and they’ve been harassing black and brown people long before he became president.
