Post-debate: stats and facts

hillary-clinton-talking-points-from-obamaA few points.

Roughly 84 million people watched the presidential debate on CNN, Monday night.

Lester Holt, NBC moderator, interrupted Donald Trump 41 times.

He interrupted Hillary Clinton 7 times.

Holt challenged Trump with follow-up questions 6 times.

Holt had not one challenge question for Hillary Clinton.

Listen to Howard Kurtz speak about the debate and the interruptions here.

Lester Holt was incorrect when he braced — sorry, “fact-checked” — Donald Trump on “stop and frisk,” insisting that the concept is unconstitutional. In fact, Lester Holt is wrong and Trump is correct. “Stop and frisk” is not unconstitutional, as correctly delineated by Rudy Giuliani. He is correct: “Terry v. Ohio.” A court case even all Baby Cops know.

Finally, arguments can be made on both sides that either candidate “won” the first debate. But what is incontrovertible is this: given the “target-rich environment” that Hillary Rodham Clinton’s history provides, in my opinion Donald Trump took little advantage of it.

On Sunday I theorized that the election was Hillary Clinton’s to lose.

After the Monday debate, I theorize this: it is Trump’s election to lose if he continues to not listen to his advisers.

Anyone besides me think that Hillary Clinton appeared to be drugged in some fashion?

Obama golfs; Chicago bleeds

Obama Playing Golf

Mr Obama’s heart skips a beat on the beautiful links.

Don’t bother Mr Obama, he’s busy playing golf.  He can’t be bothered by those 13 people killed and tens of thousands displaced following the floods in Louisiana, or those blacks shot and killed on the mean streets of Chicago — even after it was those black votes he desired because of a certain melanin match or a certain Republican president Mr Obama accused of being “uncaring” during Katrina in NOLA.

You see, Mr Obama detests “fakery.”  He detests the “theater” of politics.

Obama Detesting Fakery 1Mr Obama detesting political fakery during Sandy.

Obama Detesting Fakery 2Mr Obama detesting political theater during campaign.

And then — what? — more shootings and death in Chicago?  Meh.  Not worthy of even a mention.  Those deaths and that carnage doesn’t serve to advance Mr Obama at all.  One must serve before one acquires a mention.

From Breitbart.com this past weekend:

Dozens Shot, Four Killed over Weekend in Gun-controlled Chicago

by AWR Hawkins

Dozens were shot–four fatally–over the weekend in heavily gun controlled Chicago.

This death and violence follows the 52 who were shot–nine fatally–during the previous weekend in Chicago.

According to ABC News, a 7-year-old girl was among the wounded. She was shot while attending “a vigil for another shooting victim.” A 36-year-old woman was also shot while attending that vigil.

At one point during the weekend — “an intense 14-hour stretch of violence that ran from Saturday into Sunday” — someone was shot in Chicago “every 33 minutes.” The Chicago Tribune reported the same portion of the weekend — “from Saturday afternoon to early Sunday” — was especially violent last weekend too. During that time alone, “five people were killed and at least 19 others were wounded.”

Forty-nine people were shot, nine fatally, two weekends ago, and “52 people were shot, seven of them fatally” the weekend before.

You know, in Chicago.  That Demorat/Leftist city controlled historically by Demorat/Leftist mayors (and Mayor Rahm Emanuel now), a pristine and shining example of Demorat/Leftist values where blacks are lifted from poverty, have jobs and are able to acquire their dreams in a Utopian atmosphere of understanding and funding, and guns are proscribed for a violence-free, clean environment.

I mean, there are gun laws in Chicago.  Real gun laws.  And gun laws stop criminals!  Right?

Of course they do.  Just ask a Demorat or a Leftist.

Obama Looking Out Window AF1The closest Mr Obama may get to Louisiana or Chicago this week.

That, of course, goes hand-in-hand or, perhaps, blood puddle-in-blood puddle with my prior post only a few days ago where 100 people were shot in Chicago on a single weekend as well.

If you want to stop gun violence, you’d best start with inserting the black father into the family equation and stop paying people for more children absent a father, embrace religion and churches, clean up schools and bring the trades back into them, lean on “stop and frisk,” demand the “broken windows” mindset from police, emphasize education with a focus on the basics and halt generational welfare.  Blacks in urban neighborhoods have just as much a right to be safe on their streets and in their homes as anyone else.

Let’s face it, Obama is “calling it in” and “checking out” as a lame-duck president.  I submit: he didn’t much care about the job in the first place.  He liked the perks.  Hated the bother of it all.

P.S.

The former FEMA director, Michael Brown, who accused Mr Obama today of fiddling while Louisiana flooded — boy, is he gonna get his ass audited.

Poor bastard.

Louisiana Floods

More black lives not mattering: 100 people shot in Chicago

Blood PoolBecause, in truth, black lives don’t matter to Leftists, they don’t matter to Demorats and they sure as hell don’t matter to other urban black males.

Ripped from today’s yawning headlines at the ChicagoTribune.com:

Nearly 100 people shot in Chicago in less than a week

by Alexandra Chachkevitch

Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 — about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.

Between last Friday afternoon and early Thursday, at least 99 people were shot in the city, 24 of them fatally.  At least nine people were killed on Monday alone, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years, according to Tribune data. Among the wounded that day was a 10-year-old boy shot in the back as he played on his front porch in Lawndale.

The number of shooting victims in Chicago stood at 2,514 Thursday morning. At this time last year, 1,725 people had been shot.  The city has not seen this level of gun violence since the 1990s, a trend the Police Department has blamed on lax gun laws and feuding gang factions.

“Lax gun laws.”  What a load of horse-crap.  Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, on par with Los Angeles and New York.  Assault weapons?  Banned.  Go here.

If you want to stop gun violence, you’d best start with inserting the black father into the family equation and stop paying people for more children absent a father, embrace religion and churches, clean up schools and bring the trades back into them, lean on “stop and frisk,” demand the “broken windows” mindset from police, emphasize education with a focus on the basics and halt generational welfare.  Blacks in urban neighborhoods have just as much a right to be safe on their streets and in their homes as anyone else.

Yawn.  More young urban black males killed.  Meh.

Let us not forget it is Lyndon Baines Johnson, Democrat, Hero of the Left, the consummate personal opportunist and 36th president, who said — regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (as Senate Majority Leader) to Hubert Humphrey, “Hubert, it don’t take any genius to be for civil rights from Minnesota.  How many black people you got in Minnesota?  Humphrey said, about 12,000.  Johnson said to Humphrey, “you make me sick.”

Let us also not forget that it was LBJ who said “I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next two-hundred years.”

And so he has.  It’s nothing more complicated than this: I’ll respect black lives when Democrats respect them, and when they respect themselves.

I’m going to have a very long wait.

Hey, hand me a beer, would you?
