As Democrats see the likelihood of the House and the Senate shifting to Republican control, they have rolled out their biggest gun to try to minimize the damage.
Former President Barack Obama, the most popular Democrat in the country, has hit the campaign trail to try to salvage victories in close and critical races.
Obama’s headline message has been about the importance of voting. Meaning, turnout is critical for Democrats, and, in particular, high turnout among Black voters.
Certainly, in Georgia, where the Senate race between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker rides on a razor’s edge, the Black vote is critical.
Unfortunately, despite the charisma and charm of the former president, the message he is delivering is destructive for his party and for the country.
He is pitting Americans against Americans. Blacks against whites. The wealthy against the poor.
“In your gut, you should have a sense: Who cares about you?” asks Obama.
Obama emerged onto the national scene as a young Illinois state assemblyman when he addressed the Democratic National Convention in 2004. In that speech, he captured hearts and minds by reminding the nation that we are “E Pluribus Unum. Out of Many, One … There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America … a Black America and a White America … There’s the United States of America.”
The message of that young idealist, looking to pave a path for his own political ambition, has totally disappeared now that those ambitions have been achieved.
We would like to believe the battle between the two parties is about which carries the best message for all Americans.
But this is not what the Democratic Party is marketing to voters.
Their message is that the two parties represent different groups of Americans. The question is which interest group will prevail at the expense of the other.
Democrats pitch that they represent the interests of low-income, working-class, non-white Americans and Republicans represent rich, white Americans.
Let’s hope it does not resonate because it is for sure not true.
The Republican message is that limited government, respect for sanctity of life and Christian values that preserve the traditional family are beneficial for every single American of every economic and ethnic background.
But voters are hearing from our former president that these values, which capture the essence of freedom, undermine freedom.
“Who will fight for your freedom?” he asks. “Is it a bunch of Republican politicians and judges who think they should … decide when you start a family or how many children you have, who you marry or who you love.”
In 2019, 38% of all abortions were Black babies. In Georgia, it was 65%.
How much longer will Black Americans buy these horrible lies that are destroying their own lives and legacies?
Freedom is about parents controlling where their children go to school and what they learn. This Democrats oppose.
Freedom is about limiting government so the economy grows at a healthy pace, inflation-free. This Democrats oppose.
And freedom is about citizens getting accurate information from their leaders.
Obama attacked Wisconsin Senate incumbent Republican Ron Johnson for telling the truth that Social Security, which affects practically every working American, is broken.
This year, the trustees of Social Security reported that by 2034, just 12 years from now, there will only be sufficient funds to pay 77% of benefits. This is called bankruptcy.
The Congressional Budget Office now forecasts that by 2052, national debt will equal 185% of our GDP.
Debt, bankruptcy and lies do not hold a promising future for any American.
Let’s hope that Black Americans do turn out in record numbers and support Republicans in their efforts to deliver the united, free country that we all desperately need.
In the words of our first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, we pray for a “new birth of freedom.”

The lies, cons, hate, hypocrisy and treachery of this treasonous, socialist Democrat Party know no bounds.
The International Anti-Woke Backlash – Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening? There is a single answer to all these questions. Because it defines us. Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be perfect obedient consumer slaves. And so they (Democrats) attack national identity, they attack religious identity, they attack gender identity, they attack family identity….. We will not be assimilated. We will defend God, country and family.
Rolling out Obama as their biggest political Gun, is like handing a border agent another Obama issued beanbag gun to stop n Eric Holder fully automatic rifle armed fast and furious Drug dealing terrorist. The cracking over-the-shoulder Holder Boulders they would try to throw at the adversary will just rebound back and crush their own heads. It will be the offended, deprived, now politically enlarged and electorally enhanced Conservative Goliaths, not the secular God abandoning verbal slings and arrow pea shooter Democrat David’s who wins this battle. Yea though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, they fear no evil,,,because they ARE the evil, which most of it began with the Kamala Harris imaged Obama male version of a foreign minded socialist disguised as a true American Democrat getting elevated to office due to the color of the skin, not the content of their patriotism or knowledge of what an American Republic is or what made it rise above the mediocrity and failure of other failed socialist nations. When all else fails, they just default to finger pointing their opponents in false accusations of the very crimes they themselves are guilty of. “Who cares about You” asks Obama,,,the one who lets me spend my own earned money and leaves me alone to rise or fall without Government safety nets that treat us like captured schools of dumb fish.
Jul 8, 2014, Obama request for $3.7 billion to address the border crisis “is so much smoke and mirrors,” legislators, law enforcement and other federal officials said. The bulk of the money is earmarked for resettlement rather than for removal and border enforcement. Out of the White House’s $3.7 billion request, $1.8 billion, or about 49% of the entire supplemental request, would go to HHS for resettlement of illegal minors and entire family units, including adult men and women. Funds would be provided “for acquisition, construction, improvement, repair, operation and maintenance of real property and facilities” According to internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement documents, 47% of the adults subject to expedited removal would be relocated and resettled in the U.S.
The administration’s supplemental request also includes a “general provision” by which it would be allowed to move around as much as 30% of the funding as they choose. The Department of Justice (DOJ) would be given $15 million to hire attorneys to defend unaccompanied alien children against deportation in removal proceedings before an immigration judge and $1.1 million would be given to DOJ for “immigration litigation attorneys.”
Does this sound like Obama wants to secure the border or to send these illegal immigrants home?
nope. ITS USING Tax payer money, to HELP INVADERS SETTLE IN our nation, against OUR WILL.
Identity politics, are too INBRED INTO The dem’s DNA to ever stop trying to divide us…
It started when they began pigeonholing everyone: first it was race: black and white then all sorts subdividions, income: rich and poor, politics: Republican/conservative then MAGA, Democrat/liberal then woke and greenie, sex, women/men then whatever a person designates. The problem is most persons fit into a combination of these so eventually even pleasing one person is going to be difficult!
The Democrats have divided us into so many divided collectives of calamitous calumny that nobody can speak their minds without offending some opposite formed social squad of fools designed to keep us at each other’s throats. Obama himself,,,Divided half-white Democrat American, and half-black Kenyan Socialist, is a torn cloth of many colors himself, constantly at war with himself, never knowing at any moment which side of his mouth he will be speaking, usually having to default to the one which most pleases the audience before him, resulting in never reaching a real solution to the social problems that arise in the very division they themselves create. Color, Race, Class, Income, Party affiliation, Sexual persuasions, or offers of immediate gratifications make poor substitutes for arriving at real solutions to complex social problems, made more complex with the Democrat weapons of choice “Emotion and Fear” added to their socialist non-problem solving equations.
it aint gonna happen star parker its all they got is divide divide and divide.
It doesn’t help when the president of the United States calls republicans white racist Supremacist. He calls parents Terrorist. He calls criminals ,victims. He calls illegals ,citizens.He calls blm rioters mostly peaceful.
AND IT won’t happen when dozens of LEFITTS MEDIA HACKS< call on republicans to get jailed, for daring to speak out about fraud. Calling for parents to be treated as Terrorists for merely questioning teacher unions etc…
