CRONY CAPITALISM
Barack Obama created more debt for the middle class than any president in US history, and also had the only huge QE programs: $4.2 Trillion.

OBAMA: SERVANT OF THE 1%
Richest one percent controls nearly half of global wealth
The richest one percent of the world’s population now controls 48.2 percent of global wealth, up from 46 percent last year.
The report found that the growth of global inequality has accelerated sharply since the 2008 financial crisis, as the values of financial assets have soared while wages have stagnated and declined.

THE CRONY CLASS:
Income inequality grows FOUR TIMES FASTER under Obama-Biden and their bankster regime than Bush.
“By the time of Bill Clinton’s election in 1992, the Democratic Party had completely repudiated its association with the reforms of the New Deal and Great Society periods. Clinton gutted welfare programs to provide an ample supply of cheap labor for the rich (WHICH NOW MEANS OPEN BORDERS AND NO E-VERIFY!), including a growing layer of black capitalists, and passed the 1994 Federal Crime Bill, with its notorious “three strikes” provision that has helped create the largest prison population in the world.”

Double Standards: Will the Media Hold Warren and Harris Accountable for Spreading a Pernicious Racial Hoax?
In
case you missed it over
the weekend, two 'top tier' Democratic presidential hopefuls
actively spread a vile lie, perpetuating a racially-charged hoax for cheap
political gain. Considering the intense scrutiny paid to President
Trump's divisive rhetoric and loose relationship with the truth, both Elizabeth
Warren and Kamala Harris should be in
serious damage control mode this week, if journalistic standards were
consistent. Instead, both have been dinged by
a handful of conservatives (and
a few other fact-check wrist
slaps -- see update),
with relatively little attention paid to their actions. Days after these
tweets, both remain published, and neither campaign appears to be facing much
heat at all. Here are the social
media posts in question:
5
years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson,
Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists
and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront
systemic racism and police violence head on.
Michael
Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a
desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must fight for
stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system.
Both of these tweets are extremely irresponsible and dishonest, framing Michael Brown's killing by a police officer as a "murder." It was not. As David French reminds us, the Obama-Holder Justice Department reviewed all the evidence of that officer-involved shooting in great detail, and cleared the officer of wrongdoing. Here are the facts of the case:
When [Officer] Wilson
first spotted Brown and his friend, he told them to walk on the sidewalk. He
then realized that they matched the description of the theft suspects and
blocked their path with his vehicle. Wilson tried to open his door, but it either
bounced off Brown or Brown slammed it shut. Brown then reached into the vehicle
and started punching Wilson. As Wilson fended off the blows, he reached for his
gun. Brown
allegedly tried to take the gun from Wilson, and Wilson managed to get a shot
off, injuring Brown in the hand. Eyewitnesses corroborated Wilson’s claims that
Brown was reaching in the car, and these claims were further corroborated by
“bruising on Wilson’s jaw and scratches on his neck, the presence of Brown’s DNA on Wilson’s collar, shirt, and
pants, and Wilson’s DNA on Brown’s palm.” Brown then started to run away. After
a brief pause Wilson pursued, ordering Brown to stop. Brown then turned back to
Wilson and started running toward him. According to the report, “several witnesses stated
that Brown appeared to pose a physical threat to Wilson as he moved toward
Wilson.” Wilson fired again,
striking Brown several times, yet Brown kept moving toward Wilson until the
final shot hit him in the head, killing him.
And French's
summary of the Justice Departments post-investigation findings:
The report’s conclusion was crystal clear: "Given that Wilson’s account is
corroborated by physical evidence and that his perception of a threat posed by
Brown is corroborated by other eyewitnesses, to include aspects of the
testimony of [Brown’s friend], there is no credible evidence that Wilson willfully shot Brown as he was attempting to
surrender or was otherwise not
posing a threat." [Emphasis added.] The report flatly declared that Wilson
“did not act with the requisite criminal intent.”“No credible evidence” is a
powerful statement, but if you read the report, it’s a powerful statement based
not just on extensive forensic evidence but also on the courageous testimony of
witnesses who feared reprisal for speaking the truth.
Warren's
commentary is even worse than Harris' because it compounds the
"murder" libel by highlighting the race of the police officer, citing
the incident as emblematic of "systemic racism" and "police
violence." This is disgraceful. The "hands up, don't
shoot" myth has been blasted to pieces by fact-checkers;
resurrecting the lie in order to stir racial grievances is indefensible.
I am not a reflexive defender of the police in every circumstance. Real abuses do occur, and
some police shootings and other actions deserve serious
criticism. It therefore does a grave disservice to our policy and
cultural discussions around these issues to seize upon a thoroughly debunked
example to make a point, as if the real facts were never illuminated -- especially given
the racially-charged political climate in this country (to which Democrats are
almost gleefully contributing). Will either of these powerful politicians
be pressed and challenged for promulgating these damaging lies based on nakedly
political calculations?
It's also worth noting that Harris followed up on this grave
falsehood by accusing the Trump administration of inflicting a program of
"terror" upon immigrant communities. Her evidence? The
Mississippi ICE raids, which were an entirely legitimate
exercise in internal immigration enforcement. Her hyperbole is once
again harmful and misleading. As for Warren, we should not be surprised
that she's engaging in this sort of thing, given her longstanding penchant for self-serving racial
hoaxes. I'll leave you with Warren's latest "plan," which --
in addition to pressuring Walmart to stop selling
guns altogether -- seeks to increase taxes as to make the exercise of a
constitutional right more expensive for average Americans:
1)
Warren concedes here that > taxes lead to less economic activity showing how
her tax big business platform will kill the economy.
2) Increasing costs for people to exercise their rights disproportionately affects the poor and minorities. This is an attack on their rights. twitter.com/ewarren/status…

UPDATE - Here's a start. Four Pinocchios from the Washington Post. Could that be the peg for a feeding frenzy of pointed questions? I'm still not holding my breath.
