Trump falsely claims there is an AIDS vaccine, lies about Obama's record on ploice reform

FACT CHECK: Pres. Trump made two false claims in his presser before signing an executive order on police reform at the White House on Tuesday and they are "huge." 1. In addressing progress on the development of a vaccine for the Coronavirus, he said there is a vaccine for AIDS. FALSE- there is not a vaccine or cure for AIDS. "These are the people, the best, the smartest, the most brilliant anywhere, and they’ve come up with the AIDS vaccine. They've come up with — or the AIDS, and, as you know, there's various things and now various companies involved. But the therapeutic for AIDS." He seemed to be trying to correct himself by saying "therapeutic" at the end of the remark. There are treatments, but NO VACCINE. In 2018 approximately 38,000 people were diagnosed with HIV infection in the U.S. and about 1.7 million globally. The millions of people managing their HIV/AIDS with medicine, should not mistake this wrong information as a...

Trump signs EO protecting Jews

Effort co-signed from Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffries (The Slice): This week, Pres. Donald Trump has taken his pro-Israel/Jew stance to another level. Last Wednesday the White Houses hosted a Hannukah reception in the East Room, where he simultaneously signed an executive order to protect Jewish students from anti-Semitic bigotry on colleg campuses. The EO will penalize schools that tolerate hate against Jews. The protection appears preferential as it has not been given to other classes or people who suffer attacks based on racism (Blacks) or religion (Muslim). Vowing that colleges who tolerate bigotry on campus risk losing millions of dollars in federal funding, he singled out “institutions that traffic in anti-Semitic hate.” Further, Pres. Trump cautioned: “If you want to accept the tremendous amount of federal dollars you get every year you must reject anti-Semitism, “ he said to rousing applause. No such effort have been made to...

First Lady Obama Faces of With a Heckler

Image
buzzz worthy. . . Usually First Lady Michelle Obama works well under pressure. Poised and focused, she has answered tough questions head on from supporters and non-supporters alike. Tuesday night at a DNC fund-raising event in Northwest Washington, DC, someone crossed the line and the First Lady lost her composure. In an unprecedented and uncharacteristic move, First Lady  Obama directly confronted a heckler. A pro-LGBT rights woman standing at the front began shouting complaints about the Obama administration's inaction on a gay rights executive order. "Wait, wait, wait.  One of the things I don't do well is this.  Do you understand?," replied FLOTUS to loud applause. She left the lectern and moved over to the protester and assertively said, "Listen to me or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice." Crowd started shouting that they wanted FLOTUS to stay. "You need to go!" said one wo...
