Ilhan Omar, Puppet Pelosi 12 Dem lawmakers plan taxpayer-paid out-of-country junket to mark first African slaves landing in America

74

Will the party of slavery leadership conducting this sham trip also revisit that the fact that Democrats were the party of slavery who fought to the last man that it not be abolished?

President Trump should expose this outrage on Twitter. Many of the lawmakers who will be on this junket represent districts that are dysfunctional, impoverished, and dangerous. These lawmakers should be working in their districts, focusing on improving the lives of their constituents. Instead, they decide to take a totally unnecessary luxury trip to Italy and Ghana, at the expense of the American taxpayer. Absolutely disgusting. The current congress is perhaps the most blatantly corrupt and incompetent of our lifetime.

Imagine how much safer and secure this nation would be if they just stayed there? This nothing but theater with guaranteed PR promotion by the extremedia.

Pelosi, Omar, 12 Dem lawmakers plan taxpayer-paid out-of-country junket to mark first African slaves landing in America

The office of the Speaker of the House released a statement on Friday announcing Speaker Nancy Pelosi would lead a delegation of Democrat members of Congress to Ghana next week, as well as to U.S. Army Africa Headquarters in Italy. The trip coincides with the 400th anniversary of the first slaves from Africa arriving on American shores.

Business and Politics, Victor Rantala, July 27, 2019:

High-level discussions are planned with Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo and other senior government officials. Pelosi is expected to address the Ghanaian Parliament.

The group will visit “The Door of No Return,” an infamous portal that slaves stepped through to board ships en route to North and South America. By the 18th century, 30,000 slaves stepped through the portal annually, according to historians.

The delegation includes 12 members of the Black Congressional Caucus, to include Majority Whip James Clyburn and Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Karen Bass.

“400 years ago this year, our ancestors were first brought to this continent in chains,” said Bass. “On this delegation, 12 Members of the Congressional Black Caucus will return to the African continent as Members of the United States Congress. We have come so far but we still have so far to go. Among the history being made this trip, I am very much also looking forward to witnessing the first woman Speaker of the United States House of Representatives address the Ghanaian parliament. I thank Speaker Pelosi for leading this important trip and for joining us in sending a signal of mutual respect and partnership to Ghana and the continent of Africa as a whole.”

According to the announcement, Dems on the junket will include …

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

House Majority Whip James Clyburn

Congressman John Lewis, Ways & Means Committee

Congressman Bobby Rush, Energy & Commerce Committee

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Budget Committee, Homeland Security Committee and Judiciary Committee

Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Appropriations Committee and Budget Committee

Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Energy & Commerce Committee and Homeland Security Committee

Congressman Hank Johnson, Judiciary Committee and Transportation & Infrastructure Committee

Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, Agriculture Committee, Education & Labor Committee and House Administration Committee

Congresswoman Karen Bass, Foreign Affairs Committee and Judiciary Committee

Congresswoman Terri Sewell, Intelligence Committee and Ways & Means Committee

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Education & Labor Committee and Transportation & Infrastructure Committee

Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, Financial Services Committee and Joint Economic Committee

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Budget Committee, Education & Labor Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee

Haiti, for sure. All that Democrat corruption, millions in American aid, spoilling and rotting on the decks and tarmac, but its “Trump’s fault that they have no infrastructure” and completely corrupt government, unions, truck drivers on strike. They worked miracles in getting aid to Haiti and thousands of National Guard sent in assistance, Army Corp of Engineers trying to build infrastructure neglected by Liberal corruption. Pathetic.

Burgess Owens said the same thing before Congress. The Democratic Party is the party of slavery and they should pay.. While we’re at it lets call out the families of slave owners like Justus Angel,

Marie Therese Metoyer, Antoine Dubuclet, Andrew Durnford and William Ellison to name just a few. In the 1830 census Angel was listed a a free colored and had 84 slaves. NO PC in 1830.

OH H#LL YES!!! Let’s put them on the auction block and when they don’t bring the price of live pork, they’ll understand their real value in this world. One of my high school teachers said, ” Always remember you’re worth what you can be sold in the slave auction market for, so you better acquire some skills so you have some value, lest you have to suffer the indignity of being worth nothing. We can give them the whole experience of being a slave.

It’s a bit rich that a Muslim is part of this group considering that Arab/Muslims used to capture Africans from their villages and drive them to the ports to sell them as slaves. Not only that, they even used to raid European coastal cities to capture people to ransom them or sell them into the Arab slavery markets dotting the Mediterranean coasts. Even more egregious is the fact that their prophet Mo himself kept slaves and was not averse to looking down on them by calling them raisin-heads.

I know these clowns and racists are trying to look majestic with their scowls/glares/ looking off in the distance (though let’s face it, cummings looks like a muppet no matter what he does)

But these were probably the same type of African Americans that SOLD their own people to slavery back in the day…pretty much what they’re doing now. Their people in their communities live like crap, and these mofos get richer and pretend they’re looking out for everyone, when in reality, they are making money off the back of their constituents, some of them being black.

Cumming for instance and his wife stole millions from the community instead of helping them….

Is that latest junket at other peoples expense supposed to be taken seriously ?

In a meritocracy a black who copies what he sees works for the other people around him usually makes his life better, if he makes his living sweeping the neighborhood and does it better than others before him , he becomes the toast of his friends and respected, he will never again refer to his ethnicity because he won’t need to. The lesson is that honest toil and application can work.

If he has an important dream he wishes to develop, he can become an inventor or medical scientist famous for his research and again he will have generated by his application both wealth and respect, his ethnicity will not be a factor and will never be held against him.

Those posturing bigoted clowns have made no real impact for the betterment of mankind since they left teats behind, they’re one “stock in trade” is grievance mongering over a three hundred year episode that brought their ancestors to America.

Twenty years ago a black British TV journalist Robert Beckford returned to west Africa and was surprised to learn from his tribe elders that they envied their forebears two hundred years before because they had the chance to leave slavery and insecurity in Africa, learn English and a practice a useful trade in America where their prospects were better according to the standards of the time.

All European countries facing the Atlantic knew the impact of being raided for slaves, over more than three hundred years over three million white people were taken and shipped off for a life far worse than blacks knew under European tutelage. Since when has that trade been exploited by those white slaves descendants as a stick to beat others with ?

It never has because in time those left behind dried their tears, got on with their lives and made their continent the most advanced organised and enlightened the world had seen to that point. Their many achievements in all fields of human endeavour marked them out as determined and distinguished people.

That delegation is trying to distract attention from failure, because all on it are playing that most worn out token, the “race card”.

My advice, take off the fancy dress and put on the garments of real achievement application and study as others have before you, then the last thing to matter to all will be your race.

What a farce. The lie that never dies is the lie of slavery in the USA. Blacks never had it so good as in the US. They were rescued from certain death, taught how to farm and work, educated, converted, set free, and today enjoy a standard of living 100X or more than the descendants of Africans who were not so fortunate.

What pointless whine bag mentality. Slavery in the US was abolished 154 years ago. That means everyone directly connected to slavery, slave or slave owner, their children and their grandchildren, are all dead.

It is just as probable today that you might meet someone with an ancestor who was a combat veteran in the Civil War, either color, either side, as you will someone with four balck or white grandparents.

Better still, how about the congressional Black Caucus visit Abolitionist churches all over the north. Also Hillsdale College, which started as an abolitionist center, in the 1840s. Next, they could stop by Tennessee where Nathan Bedford Forrest started the KKK, otherwise known as the terrorist arm of the Southern Democrat Party. I bet church groups would be happy to put them up to save us taxpayers money.

There is something VERY fundamentally wrong with politicians, ESPECIALLY DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, who spend taxpayer money so freely and without good reason. THIS TRIP DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD REASON IF IT DOES NOT BENEFIT ALL AMERICANS! Problem with the Democrats, they are defiant in believing:
1. They deserve it.
2. They are entitled to it.
3. They must have it.

Looks like they are in fact celebrating slavery. Maybe they want to re-establish it. Have two classes in America. The elites, 5% of the population, and the workers (actually slaves), the other 95% of the population. Wouldn’t surprise me. This is the eventual result of socialism right before total collapse. All the Democrats need is to regain power one more time and then they will hold it, and the Republican party would never win another election at any level.
