A homophobe and grifter proves Mike Pence's concerns about racial injustice to be a joke

Harry Jackson (top pic) Candace Owens (bottom pic) prove that VP Mike Pence isn't interested in having an actual discussion on race relations.

After the firestorm following the murder of George Floyd two weeks ago, one would think that that White House would be taking serious steps to talk about racial injustice.

No chance. A true president would lead the country in a serious look at racial inequality. But we were cursed with Donald Trump. His VP, Mike Pence isn't any better. What he did by comparison nearly makes Trump's lack of leadership look inspiring. On Thursday, Pence hosted a roundtable about race relations with black conservatives - ie black Trump supporters -  and one person invited justifiably raised eyebrows.

According to the Daily Mail UK  - by way of Right Wing Watch:

Black conservative activist Candace Owens was included in Vice President Mike Pence's roundtable on race relations Thursday, despite being criticized for calling George Floyd a 'horrible human being.' Pence tweeted out that he had met with some black Americans, explaining that the group had disussed ' how we can move our Nation forward in the wake of the tragic death of George Floyd and the protests and rioting that have ensued.'
 Pence did not tag Owens in the picture, but did tag three black conservatives: Heritage Foundation President Kay Cole James, Center for Urban Renewal and Education founder Star Parker and Elroy Sailor, who previously served on the Trump transition team. A DailyMail.com request for comment and more details about the meeting went unreturned.

'The Bunker Boy' - Randy Rainbow's newest song parody pokes fun at Trump's bad week

Last week was probably the roughest time in Donald Trump's presidency. He deserved every bit of turmoil and disdain which crashed on his head. And who better could put it into easy-to-understand terms than song satirist Randy Rainbow in a simply brutal denunciation. Randy has been doing this to Trump during his entire presidency, but I really think that this one will make Trump respond.

Coronavirus Camp Classic 5 - 'Death Becomes Her'

We need to keep our sanity during this madness with the coronavirus and other vestiges of the Trump Administration. Even in the midst of one of the biggest fights of our lives, there is nothing wrong with taking a little time out to replenish  your spirit. And laughter is a great way of doing it, which brings me to the latest Coronavirus Camp Classic - Death Becomes Her (1992)

Two hateful rivals (Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep - who is incredibly good at screwball comedy) competing over a plastic surgeon (Bruce Willis who plays totally against character and is excellent at it). Throw in the late Ingrid Bergman's daughter, Isabella Rossellini as a mysterious socialite pushing a potion of eternal youth and beauty and you have the makings of an instant gay comedy classic.

Even if you don't see the entire movie, the scenes above are more than enough to get you screaming.

Franklin Graham deliberately ignores attack on protesters while praising Trump's Bible photo op

People have said no matter how low Trump goes, he never hits bottom. There is always level he is willing to stoop. That characteristic obviously goes for the evangelicals who defend him.

Rev. Franklin Graham has come out with a statement about Monday's event in which unarmed protesters and priests were tear-gassed so that Trump could have his picture taken holding up a Bible in front of a church. And it leaves me confused as to whether or not Graham is getting senile or he decided to outright lie.

I was asked if I was offended by the President walking out of the White House, which is his back yard, and walking over to St. John’s Church. Offended? Not at all. This made an important statement that what took place the night before in the burning, looting, and vandalism of the nation’s capital — including this historic house of worship — mattered, and that the lawlessness had to end. 

And I’m not offended that he held up the Bible — as a matter of fact, I was encouraged! I appreciate it. I believe that God’s Word is the only hope for each individual and for our nation. The problem we are facing in this country is a spiritual and moral problem. New laws and more government give-away programs are not the answer. It’s a heart problem, and only God can change the human heart. 

I’m disappointed that some of the President’s harshest critics about going to the church were clergy. They have publicly (to the media) criticized the President for walking to the church and for holding up the Bible. That’s unbelievable. They should be thanking him rather than criticizing him! They are nitpicking his gesture, also saying he should have prayed while he was there. So critical. Well, maybe they should invite him back and pray for him as he leads this country through a very difficult time in our history.

Oh my God? What the hell was that? Graham doesn't simply defend Trump. He totally gaslights his readers about the incident. The entire article is a master class in deception even down to the picture accompanying it, which does not show Trump holding up the Bible (probably because he held it upside down)
