CHINA realizes and believes .. Blinken is CORRUPT and a DIRTBAG !!
What a joke for Pence to talk smack about Obama.
The RACE CARD.
Pence is a total misanthrope and false leader. He saw DJT’s misanthropy in Office and did nothing to offset it. He is a religious aficionado, attending a job description that demands separation of Church and State ! Go figure . . . . .
He has no chance! Too wierd 😮
just more Nonsense from a Trumpy non-THINKER
We should blow-up the Chinese spy base in Cuba. Send them a message!
Man, Pence just lies. Obama wasn’t perfect like none of us are, but his leadership pulled us from the brink of financial catastrophe in 2008. Obama inherited unemployment at 12% and handed it off to Trump at just under 5%. Come on, Mike. 🤦🏿♂️
Juneteenth is a very Special Time in United States History.
As a retired history teacher, I took great pride in constructing and offering my version of US History during February’s Black History Month.
I set aside the text and conducted daily lectures from the History books and journals authored by black historians. Factual. I was willing to face termination by circumventing school district curriculum in order to tell the true story of black history articulated by black historians. Such as comparing the Black Panthers of yesteryear to today’s movie line and not only the blood line of blacks but the great yet hidden amazing accomplishments of blacks.
I brought all my books into my classroom for the students to check out as each was given an assignment to read and write a summary of the book they read due before March 1.
The exam was constructed from my lectures. All students were offered note-taking lessons as well and were permitted to use their notes during the exam.
The surprise by most of the students were accompanied by their joy of finally learning Factual historical events actors by black historians and ancestors of the race.
@Gloria TR Thank you for reading my testimony
Humbledriver – I hope that your version did not omit some uncomfortable events that took place in our history. What we forget we are destined to repeat, that is the primary reason to not omit events in history. In my very humble opinion.
I hope you explained to them we live in a system of THEFT 🤬SHOW THEM THE WEALTH INCOME GAP 😄did you explain to them how the system of BRIBERY works with our corrupt corporate owned politicians are 100% OWNED🙊🙉🙈or that mommy and daddy let the overlords max out the credit card 😃😆😀don’t forget to pay your student collar 😄ow I mean loan🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for teaching your students the Value of Black History in America.
A couple observations on this:
1) the fact that you were “willing to face termination” indicates some objection by your employer. Please explain & share your status as to membership or lack of in a union.
2) i graduated in 1973. In High School numerous electives were offered. Two I took and remembered were Afro American Studies focusing mostly on great civilizations in Africa but then jumping to Black Panthers, etc.
Frankly I got more out of standard history course briefly highlighting great US Blacks (just knowing powerful people existed opens door to research if you desire)
I also took womens studies which highlighted biologic superuority of women (less color blindness, etc, etc). As this was FIFTY YEARS AGO I CAN’T IMAGINE what you did that was so important or controversial it would cause concerns you would be fired . Did it take time away from other subjects ?
2) There is only so much TIME children have to spend in school. Did you cover historic figures from any other race ? Again in the 1970s I took a class on world religions. Do you think religious beliefs have any importance? Or lack there of ?
Do you teach in a predominantly Black school and feel this in depth history should somehow benefit your students more than sharing experience of Irish and Italian immigrants? Peurto Rican vs Mexican immigrants? Chinese or Indian (like both indigenous and Indians from India ? I worked in a hospital lab where the pathologist was an Indian woman – from India . A woman who “escaped” and brought her mother with her. They lived quietly in a modest home and tended their garden. But she would tell of women literally thrown into the funeral fires to accompany their husbands in death. I also have a 100% Indian friend of the indigenous kind who’s mother became a staunch Catholic after being kidnapped as a child and raised in Catholic boarding shool . My friend is NOT a Catholic and deeply resents the forced conversion her mother does not. Do you REALLY think focusing on the experience of any one group to the exclusion of others is HELPFUL?
My POINT is that there is great danger in becoming myopic and focusing only on the struggles of one “group”. It fosters false feelings of an isolated “victimhood”
3). In the “after school” life of your students do you feel the information you gave them will help them succeed in the “real workd”? Or would they be better equipped if they knew more math or science ? Personally I hated Algebra so classes I took as electives were interesting but mostly just an “easy A”. When I went to college for a science degree decades later my own preferences in high school nearly caused me to have a nervous breakdown. You can’t do basic legit science without MATH.
3). How old are you? I find it frankly astonishing that you feel you are somehow a trail blazer !
In my Jr High School Girls took Home Economics. We learned to make peanut brittle & pigs in a blanket and the most awful gingham dress … Boys took shop. There was no choice and the only elective was typing – almost all girls. The CHANGES in the 1970s were historic. Those in the 50 years since ?? Not so much.
4) I applaud you for helping your students learn to take notes. A nevessary ability no matter what path they choose.
Publicity, because we told you to, 😅
Blinken makes USA look weak. The whole Biden era is weak and China is in the position to walk all over us. China has the complete upper hand and we can thank out weak President that recklessly has harmed Americans so much. It will take generations to undo this hot mess.

Propaganda as always from NBC. Sad so many think they’re informed from watching this drivel.
End China’s most Favored Nations status, Prices will rise, but we wont be funding an Adversary.
The Republican Party has become a Cult of Personality to Donald Trump.
There are so many options to buy from that do not include buying Chinese goods….

Ohio ole
Pence going back 3 POTUS’ to find complaint, = RACE CARD.
When it is said that the sins of the father will be passed onto the children means DNA that is passed onto children has been influenced by the experiences of the father and mother at conception, when a people is enslaved or discriminated against, there are DNA expressions that get passed on to the children, it’s a generational theme that lasts for many generations and must be recognized as their heritage, both black and white, as there is entrenched generational discrimination (systemic racism) that continues as long as generations continue to suffer through so many further generations.
So your assertion is that DNA practices systemic racism ?
Excellent, as always. Thank you. : )
Bibi needs the world distracted. Israel knows they can do what they want……
“Juneteenth is the first holiday to focus on freedom” — Historian Lonnie Bunch. Um, What about the 4th of July? Didn’t we as a country strive to be free of the British Empire? Didn’t that struggle birth the Bill of Rights?
Regrettably, talking heads will not move the needle on this discussion about affirmative action, racism, reparations and many ‘entitlements’ desired by African Americans. Freedom is a job – something to be revered and used wisely. In 2023, Americans cannot discuss the racial issues without reactively confronting the constituent parts of it. Respect is earned, not bestowed.

Kirstin Walker is really settling into the Chuck Todd role. Very recently she was still basically interrogating every interviewee. Here’s she’s leading a discussion.
Reparations 🤣 eternal victim mentality’s mentalidad de perdedores
World Peace 💙
He’s not going to get off that easy no man is above the law.
Well, if the US refuses to normalise relations with Cuba, can you blame the Cubans for pivoting towards a more sympathetic global power? “The enemy of your enemy is your friend”
This is exactly what happened when the US rejected Cuban outreach under Fidel Castro. And who did Castro turn to?
President Obama tried to normalize relations with Cuba. The republican party under Trump along with Miami Republicans who still can’t get over the Bay of Pigs do not want normal relations with Cuba.
and the usa empire has two hundred military bases off the coast of China and usa military on Taiwan?????????and where is war machine NATO
Congress rips off americans assets
POOR HOUSES 1834
JUNE 19 1865 JUNETEENTH EQUALITY
Get out of here Pence! I can’t stand a day as you as President and you think your the next President suuurrreee.
I hope we are not sending the wrong message and showing weakness.I hope China doesn’t surprise attacks us like the Japanese did in 1941.
Chinese professors in American universities always give U.S. taxpayer-funded scholarships to Chinese students who came straight from China, whose parents and grandparents have never paid taxes to the IRS. These Chinese students get to attend American universities and graduate for free, while American students have a apply for loans that cripples their personal finances for life.
U.S. taxpayer-funded scholarships should be given only to students who were born and raised in America.
Which US tax funded scholarships are granted by professors? Most scholarships that I’ve seen are privately funded and the people that set those up can choose whatever rules they want to. I thought that US scholarships are in the form of grants which I’d think would be a function of admissions or the bursar.
@Michael Moy University professors obtain funding from the *United States government* for doing research, and that is American taxpayer money. Chinese professors used part of those funds to bring Chinese students to America to do their master and doctoral studies while doing research for the Chinese professors.
Well, I don’t know about that. I DO KNOW that affirmative action has resulted in DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CHINESE STUDENTS cause Sorry about your luck – and mine – Chinese students are SMARTER according to standardized tests .
The Chinese government is devious and scheming. They’re just trying to placate the USA while they continue to position themselves to dominate Asia. The only reason they would want to “stabilize the relationship” is to help themselves economically. They’re still planning to invade Taiwan either way.
The more you hear Pence the more he comes across as a two faced hypocrite. Someone should remind Pence that Christian values are suppose to include telling the truth and not avoiding exposing the lies of others
Pence is pathetic. For him to point to Trump era “accomplishments” with any kind of pride is suppressive reasonableness at its worse.
China wants to put a military base in Cuba? WHY NOT? It’s nothing more than us having military bases in Korea and Japan. Are you saying that being the world bully we don’t like people doing what we do?
Thank you for SHARING. ❤
the USA has military on Taiwan 😃 and we send them weapons 🙈🙉🙊Taiwan that we agreed back with Nixon that it belonged to China????
biden goes to Hiroshima pushing ww3😃😄😛guess the old guy wants to go out in a bang😛
Pardon Trump? Uh-uh. No. Never.
What a racist
I am so sick and tired of these right wing religious freaks saying how they have to take back their country. FROM WHAT???
KEEP CHURCH AND STATE SEPERATE FROM THESE RELIGIOUS MORONS.
Religion= BRAINWASHING
We need a G-String Summit
“‘ REST IN PEACE MR.FLOYD 🇺🇲🕊️

Meet the Press NOW – June 19
DONALD TRUMP IS ELECTABLE!!!!!🇺🇸
The ties with European allies became at lowest during Trump presidency. Now, with semiconductor export control on China, specially control over AI chips, and strengthening semiconductor alliance with allies, is the correct step for American safety.
😅😆😃😀Germany must love biden after he blew Nordstream 😆 you do know Germany is going into depression🤔why would England want to take down the EU?????😛
Yea. US allies appreciate the tried + true approach of the Biden Crime Family. Organized Crime always keeps a tight hold on their underlings and demands a high price for dubious “protection”.
Just ask the families of Dead Ukrainians.
God Bless Opal Lee. We need good voices.
We need greater independence and stop depending on China. We can produce our own products and food. Cut them off.
Reparations are not about education it’s about cash payouts!💰 These talking heads don’t speak for the majority of descendants of slaves. He’s speaking for whoever is sponsoring them💵🤔?
cash payouts will not fix the large scale problem of economic disparity. education itself is not enough but cash payments are not a solution. free education , free health care(including mental health and drug rehab), free career counseling, access to affordable nutritious food and subsidized housing would be a good start. and lets not forget the end of systemic racism. that is the biggest barrier. we gotta stop making children into criminals.
CUT SERF TAXES(property tax) Common People should be able to own a small amount of land out right ⚡NO PROPERTY TAX🔥
and these wealthy church’s should pay taxes
and 🛑stop taxing Social Security under $50,000🖕🏾PATHETIC
Reparations for migrant workers and lifetimes of Hispanics producing and picking, farm workers.
reparations are owed. free education through college, free health care(including mental health and drug rehab), free career counseling, access to affordable nutritious food and subsidized housing should already be available for all ancestors of American slaves.
Cash payments. We don’t need any more programs from the government. Smh. And the media needs to stop with the black an brown. Who is brown? The Hispanics Latinos are not our allies. An the bootlicking black caucus does not represent us. They are for everybody. Disgraceful. The grass roots doesn’t respect any of the treasonous black politicians who do not represent us or the bootlicking urban league an NAACP biscuit eaters looking for a job or donation to sell us out or fight for everybody except us.
shouldn’t these basics be for everyone–and give back in different ways☯️
💥💥💥SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM💥💥💥SUPPORT THE COMMONS💥💥💥
I can support all this for the ancestors of American slaves, since they’re all dead already.
The only problem w/Juneteenth is that only black men were free. Ulysses Grant upheld their right to vote but women were denied such right. Therefore the women were not actually free because she had no voice. Distorted Holiday not buying all the hype!
Also in California freed black men were purchasing their wives and children from slaveholding States. So only 1/2 the population was actually free. Not buying mans hupe
AMERICAN’S BEST SLAVES EVER😀😆😃😅
Yea, well no women could vote regardless of color so what’s your point ? Women should get reparations? Dont hold your breath. We can’t even get private safe bathrooms or sports competitions acknowledging basic biology. Women’s “rights” now center around the right to slice and dice your children either before or after birth and the right to sell your body. Next right is right (and duty) to become a combatant in next US proxy war. Both my Grandma’s had it better. And Im 67. They were highly respected and valued by the men in their life & their families.
Both lived through a depression and WW2.
What about native Americans, yes you had it rough but so did we.
Our fighting for equally helps you and your people. Examples, Brown vs Board of Education, Civil Rights Act, Voters rights Act, Equal Pay Act, Ledbetter Act. All of the rights that have been fought for by my ancestors help all people of color living in America.
As a parent? If I start any response to my son with the word “LOOK? I am dead …..
I don’t need young journalist telling me to LOOK at anything. I just want to hear your point of view. Lots of people saying LOOK…LOOK…just talk and do not worry if I am looking….
🚫 Don’t ever trust Communists.
Oh please Trump is going to be reelected and everyone knows it
If black America receives reparations, indigenous America should receive their lands back.
Trump 2024
Which end to slavery did we celebrate? Racial? Economic?
we sorta have political freedom but the Bernay’s Sauce (mind control) for 100 years has really taken hold😃social freedom????economic freedom?????
💥💥💥SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM💥💥💥SUPPORT THE COMMONS💥💥💥
The US military has been violating China repeatedly and treacherously with chemical weapon releeases evacuating Mongolia and Tibet into Bejing China 2011 2019 2020 and recently the trainwreck in Ohio exposed Mongolia plateau to outer space temperatures again and again for the fourth time since 2011 without apologies or correction for terrorizing Mongolia and Tibet. This global devastation with chemical weapons manufacturing is without notice by the people of the USA as ignored as the repeated unwarranted use of nuclear weapons in the Arctic Ocean twice washing the shores of Russia and Canada twice without notice of the people of the USA. Nuclear weapons use is an existential threat to all people and nothing has been said..
Weather balloons for the USA were never treated this way..
$$400,000 FOR ONE MISSILE TO SHOOT DOWN WEATHER BALLOONS 🙊🙈🙉most bought at hardware stores🤬THESE PEOPLE ARE 100% INSANE🤬😅😃😆😀
They built our internet and SDI system. They launched and built over 900 satellites for the CIA in China.

China soon after my person to person took of that president of china..!!!
I know who is violating to that issue of America and china but need peaceful resolution to all leaders and protect our people..!!!
Any party list that’s the same our mission to protection of life of people can do..
How refreshing to see that Pence the Dumb will never get it that….if your values are bigotry, racism, fake theocracy, pro-any route to power, indifference to cult of trumpism threat etc….there will always, and always should be……push back and erosion of these disgusting “values”
The blind leading the blind is the country I am living in. What our political factions need to do in this country is putting more thought than the lame ticket being force feed to the American public in the next election cycle in this country
Where chuck? Can’t stand this lightweight walker. All she cares about is her career and access to politicians. I never heard her ask a tough question!!!
😂😂😂 slow recovery under Obama? The only thing that happened to slow Obama down was Mitch McConnell why don’t you talk to him. This country is doing better than it was underneath you and your hero. And our future with green energy is much better. The unions are much better. I don’t care about Wall Street and big business. I care about my children’s future and Main Street in America.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 vote blue
If Pence can’t talk about the flaws of Donnie Two Scoops to his white supremist aka Evangelicals, his face card is attacking Obama and Clinton who aren’t running. So what is he really saying.
what about the Asian people,there work detail and the manufacturing of computerchip,or cellphones,the price,the debut, and the global economy?
great success for the US after the disastrous 45 mishandling of foreign affairs.
I have a question in China military communications, if China feels that others Asian nations are being cheated in international trade,are they a people,much like the si fi program stare track the next generation alien character the borg,is there military practice or history then to take over these other Asian nations by killing off the population and then an assimilation of Chinese thinking?
I think a 3rd party candidate can draw the republican vote towards the issues, then they can clearly see how,manageable these next 12 years has to be.
ant every economic growth since the Great depression, this guy shouldn’t be president and as to the mother eve looking out for the virgins, we’ll I’m still a Christian and have been forgiven for my sins, but not my vote,Democrat.
a national debt the size of our nation’s economy…come on.
Wow, China, Arab Emirates and Russia have found a great opportunity to overcome our country since Trump and his Russian Wife have created so much Chaos. Had we known he was a Russian puppet we would have ran him under.
Trump trail scheduled to start in August, during the primaries. This will make him or break him and I think the intelligent and smart Americans can both agree, both parts, which way would surprise us and which way wouldn’t. If you live without hate blocking your judgement you should sleep easy and enjoy the show. What is already written is… obvious.
Trump tariffs RAISED prices and slowed the supply chains. The American people are paying for those high tariffs that Trump imposed driving inflation HIGHER.
Glad Chris Todd is gone.
Meat depressed now
