Video of the Week – July 18, 2020

A school principal shared some thoughts with Betsy Devos, U.S. Secretary of Education, in a video shared by Bored Teachers.  The 2-minute video synopsizes the heroic efforts that teachers took on when the pandemic hit and how Devos needs to “sit down somewhere” and just listen.  In fact, that’s the best advice we can give to any political figure – especially those like Devos and others in the Trump Administration who sit in their gilded cages in the ivory towers of wealth and privilege; far removed from the chaos and drama of REAL lives.

Teachers like this gentleman stand at the front lines in the brutal world of education and are now faced with the very real threat of illness and death, as the Trump gang threatens to pull education funding from states that don’t open their schools next month for the start of the new academic year.

Second Worst Quote of the Week – July 18, 2020

“I mean, why would Soros pay for DAs, other than to undermine our government?”

Rudy Giuliani, personal attorney for President Donald Trump, blaming the billionaire Democratic donor for the ongoing Congressional investigation of Trump’s tax returns.

Giuliani had essentially admitted Trump was no longer under audit, as the president had claimed for years.  “There should be some finality in tax returns,” Giuliani added. “In other words, we get audited, we make a deal, we pay the government, you don’t come after me forever for that.”

Worst Quote of the Week – July 18, 2020

“What a terrible question to ask.  So are White people.  More White people, by the way.”

President Donald Trump, in response to a question by Catherine Herridge of CBS News of why African-Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in the U.S.

Statistics show that while more white Americans are killed by the police overall, people of color are killed at higher rates.  A federal study that examined lethal force used by police in 17 states from 2009 to 2012 found that a majority of victims were white, but the victims were disproportionately Black.  African-Americans had a fatality rate at the hands of police officers that was 2.8 times as high as that of white people.

Best Quote of the Week – July 18, 2020

“In the midst of a global pandemic, states were forced to play some sort of sick ‘Hunger Games’ game show to save the lives of our people.  Let me be clear: This is not a reality TV show. These are real things that are happening in the United States of America in 2020.”

– Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), condemning how states have been forced to compete for vital resources amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Worst Quote of the Week – July 11, 2020

“Some folks are still trying to pretend that all of this mayhem will stop if we just let the Democrats have the White House. Well, we have the Democrats in power in Atlanta, in Chicago, in New York, in Baltimore and beyond and beyond. What’s happened?

“So, this thinking is foolish and naive. The Democrats have shown they’re utterly unwilling to restrain the hard left from seizing property and committing violence. And as for the culture wars, why would the radicals stop when they think they are winning?

“So, ignore the folks who say that it just gets better when we let the Democrats have more power.

“The only way this situation gets better is for Democrats to lose, and lose so often that they are forced to apologize for their relentless slandering of our nation’s history, and by extension, the majority of our citizens who still unapologetically love this country and still believe that it’s worth celebrating.”

Laura Ingraham, FOX News commentator, demanding that Democrats apologize for slandering American history.

Best Quote of the Week – July 11, 2020

“We reaffirm that principle today and hold that the president is neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas seeking his private papers nor entitled to a heightened standard of need.”

John Roberts, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling against President Donald Trump in his ongoing effort to keep private his pre-presidential financial records.

Chief Justice John Roberts went on to state, “In our system, the public has a right to every man’s evidence,” and “since the founding of the Republic, every man has included the President of the United States.”

The 7-2 ruling is a staunch rebuke of Trump’s pathological arrogance in refusing to release all of his financial data; claiming an audit prevents it.  Although it’s not law for presidential candidates to release financial documents, such as tax statements, it has been tradition for decades.  Trump was the first presidential candidate in modern memory not only unwilling to release such records, but to flat out refuse to do so.
