Meet 5 Young African-Americans Who Want to Give Trump a Chance
For hundreds of young African-Americans gathered in the nation’s capital for a few days to learn about leadership, visiting the White House to be encouraged by President Donald Trump definitely was a high point.
The surging economy under Trump, participant R.C. Maxwell said, “should be the single most important issue for the black community.”
In his remarks Friday in the East Room, Trump at various points called the boisterous and enthusiastic crowd “leaders,” “special people,” and an “ambitious group.”
“One day one of you is going to be standing … right here,” the president said, maybe even several. “I have no doubt.”
Many in the audience sported one of Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” caps during this segment of Turning Point USA’s 2018 Young Black Leadership Summit.
When Trump asked who wanted to be president of the United States, a sea of cheers and raised hands with smart phones responded.
The next day, less than 2 miles away at the Liaison Hotel on Capitol Hill, The Daily Signal had the opportunity to ask some of the summit attendees about their thoughts on the president’s remarks.
Charlie Kirk, founder and executive director of Turning Point USA, said he wholeheartedly agreed with Trump that this was an ambitious bunch.
“The amount of students that wanted to come and run for office or be president was amazing,” Kirk said in a sit-down interview. “We need a nation of dreamers again. Because when you’re dreaming, then you’re not being a victim and … you’re going to be a victor.”
During his speech, Trump touted statistics from his tenure so far, particularly those showing the lowest unemployment levels for blacks, black women, and black youth since the government began keeping track.
The president speculated that many of those present had been attacked in the past for expressing conservative beliefs.
“The worst tendency in our politics is to tell people what they should believe based on their race, or religion, or color or creed,” Trump said.
‘Nature of the Beast’
James Boone, 32, of Bowie, Maryland, told The Daily Signal on Saturday that he found the president’s characterization to be accurate.
“It’s the nature of the beast,” Boone, a government contractor, said. “You’re supposed to be oppressed, you’re supposed to be victimized by things that … didn’t happen in your lifetime.”
Trump also told his audience of young black Americans that they “are demanding a better kind of politics,” where they wouldn’t be attacked for standing up for what they believe in.
More than 400 young people from age 15 to 35 attended the summit, which ran Thursday to Sunday. Turning Point USA, a conservative education organization that targets millennials, provided lodging and some meals at no expense to attendees.
Maxwell, 30, of Los Angeles, worked as a staffer at the summit. He told The Daily Signal that he agrees with the president’s characterization of the political climate for black Americans.
“I’ve been assaulted before at rallies just for speaking out against illegal immigration,” Maxwell said Saturday, adding that he was wearing a Trump hat at the time.
He was punched, pushed, and pepper-sprayed, Maxwell said.
“I think if I were a white Trump supporter, it would not have been so vitriolic,” he said...

The Left Are Terrified Of Black Republicans... #BLEXIT
Exclusive — Blexit: In My Own Words
By Candace Owens
When I uploaded my first video onto YouTube one year ago, I entitled it “Mom, Dad, I’m a Conservative.”
It was a two-minute satirical stab at the social exiling that many Americans face when they announce their conservatism to friends and family.
Soon thereafter I would discover that for black Americans, the punishment that awaits is far worse than any social exile: it is a full-court social lynching.
Search the name of any prominent black conservative and peruse the words written by liberal journalists:
Dr. Ben Carson is a “porch monkey”
Larry Elder is but an “Uncle Tom”
Kanye West is “in the sunken place”
Clarence Thomas is “a womanizer”
I have been branded a self-hating black, Nazi-sympathizer and rather astonishingly — a white supremacist.
The underlying sentiments are clear; black people are meant to think and act within the confines of what white liberals deem acceptable.
But while in the past the threat of slander has worked to lag the spreading of black conservatism, over this last year, I have observed something of the opposite effect.
In fact, what many have misdiagnosed as political tension between two ideologically disparate groups is actually something far greater, far more deep-rooted, and much more likely to alter the trajectory of this country as we know it.
Across America, black people are beginning to question political orthodoxy. We have been quietly building an ecosystem of free thinkers and at long last, the intellectual dam is breaking.
This unique moment will come to be known as BLEXIT: the black exit from...
Lack Of Attention To Chinese Interpol Chief’s Disappearance Shows The Khashoggi Furor’s Fakery
Meng Hongwe left his home in France on Sept. 25 for a trip concluding in China. He has not been seen or heard from since, save for an ominous text.
Why do certain individual victims of tyrannical regimes become cause célèbres, worthy of dramatically altering U.S. foreign policy, while others disappear into the ether?
This question comes to mind in light of the curious case of Meng Hongwei. You would be forgiven if this is the first you are reading his name, which has been all but lost amid the feverish media coverage of the disappearance and premeditated murder of Islamist Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi at the hands of Saudi government henchmen. But concurrent with the Khashoggi affair, Meng, the president of Interpol, also disappeared, and may have succumbed to a similarly grim fate at the hands of Chinese henchmen.
Let me repeat that: The president of Interpol, the world’s largest international police organization, disappeared. Meng left his home in France on Sept. 25 for a trip concluding in China. Meng has not been seen or heard from since, save for reportedly texting his wife an ominous emoji of a knife.
Only two weeks later did we receive the Chinese authority’s version of what transpired. The Chinese Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) — as draconian a bureaucracy as it sounds — released a one-line statement announcing that Meng was being detained under “suspicion of violating the law,” purportedly for taking bribes. Interpol received a statement saying Meng would be resigning as president immediately, and he was summarily replaced.
His wife claims Chinese individuals have threatened her as well. She believes Meng may be dead, although Chinese authorities claim to be holding a letter of his, addressed to her, as evidence he is alive. Meng claims unnamed parties have asked to deliver the letter to her alone, something she has understandably refused.
There are a number of parallels between Meng and Khashoggi, which makes it all the more interesting that the former’s disappearance caused an international uproar, while the latter’s disappearance has been largely disappeared. For one, Meng and Khashoggi were both prominent figures with deep ties at the highest ranks of the authoritarian regimes for which they served.
Meng is not just another one of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese held in “Re-education through Labor” camps, or behind bars for committing crimes like practicing one’s faith or dissenting from the state religion of Communism. He was a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than 40 years, working his way up through the “law enforcement” ranks.
For his loyal work for the CCP, he rose to the senior position of Chinese vice-minister of public security, where he had been serving since 2004, and head of the China Coast Guard, a position to which he was named in 2013. Meng was elected president of Interpol in 2016. The first such president from China, this role put Meng in a powerful seat to do the bidding of...

Watch as Fox Caravan Reporter Stumbles Onto Attempted Murderer on Camera
The caravan of migrants intent on crossing through Mexico and entering the United States is moving ever closer to its goal … but there are increasing signs that not everything is as presented by the establishment media.
Ever since the mass of people — nearly 10,000 according to some estimates — began traveling out of Honduras, liberals have insisted that it’s America’s duty to accept them with almost no questions asked.
Considering that a high number of the migrants do not have passports or verifiable identification, questions have been raised about this plan, including by the president himself.
Of course, anybody who has dared ask how smart it is to bring a horde of unvetted people over the border has been labelled a racist or a heartless bigot.
An eye-opening video from Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins may silence those critics. On Sunday, Jenkins shared a man-on-the-street interview he did with one of the thousands of migrants who are currently in Tapanatepec, Mexico.
“Are you willing to break the law to get back to the United States?” Jenkins asked a man named Jose, with the help of a Spanish interpreter.
To the reporter’s surprise, the man admitted that he had a major felony.
Should this caravan be stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border?Yes No

“I want to enter and ask for a pardon,” the migrant answered in Spanish. The translator confirmed the statement. “He says he wants to apply for a pardon for the felony he committed.”
“What is your felony, exactly?” the translator asked.
“Number three,” Jose answered in English. “A third degree felony,” the translator confirmed.
“Intento de matar,” the migrant continued. Translation: “Attempt of murder.”
It’s worth pointing out that this was just one of thousands of people, many with unknown backgrounds, in the massive...

Outrage in France after migrant youth stages mock execution of teacher
PARIS-The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before a youth judge in France this weekend following the disturbing incident filmed and circulated on social media.
The mock execution happened at Branly High School in Creteil, a migrant-populated suburb south east of Paris.
He insisted that the pistol was a fake, and his mock execution of his teacher was a “joke”. But the teacher did not find his antics very funny. She said the intent was to harm her, and she has made a complaint of “violent threats with a weapon”, which is punishable by up to five years in prison.
Even if his weapon was a fake, a legal source close to the case explained, the teenager’s actions were unlawful.
After public outrage, President Emmanuel Macron urged taking “all measures to ensure that what happened is punished, and that this type of behaviour is permanently banned from schools,” the Daily Mail reported. Macron made sure not to mention “racism” in his remarks.
This week, the European Union Parliament passed a motion to demand member-states ban “neo-fascist” parties and called on intelligence agencies to fully co-operate with “anti-racism” NGOs.
The motion also calls for “the protection of community groups and civil society organisations that fight against fascism, racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance”.
The motion was passed by a vote of 355 MEPs, but many MEPs were not present in the 751-seat chamber for the vote. The resolution cited the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox in 2016, as well as the rampage of Norwegian extremist Anders Brevik as reasons for the ban.
The authors also included the French branch of the Identitarian movement Generation Identitaire, because some of its members had been taken to court and convicted of “hate speech”.
It also recommended that anti-hate crime units be set up in police forces across the EU, Breitbart reported.
British independent MEP Janice Atkinson, vice-president of the Europe for Nations and Freedom (ENF) parliamentary group, called it “a very disturbing example of the growing tendency of shutting down free speech under the guise of claiming that the European Parliament is concerned about the growing acceptance of fascism, racism, and...
