In a piece for the paper by Professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, criticizes one of the film’s iconic moments, when Mary Poppins joins Dick Van Dyke’s Bert to dance on a rooftop for the classic song "Step in Time.â€
He writes: "When the magical nanny (played by Julie Andrews) accompanies her young charges, Michael and Jane Banks, up their chimney, her face gets covered in soot, but instead of wiping it off, she gamely powders her nose and cheeks even blacker.â€

CNN called the black-faced/KKK Democrat Governor of Virginia a Republican on Anderson Cooper 360.
From the article:
Mistake? Yeah; right! The Left has a narrative and in it all Republicans are racist Confederate slave masters and that's that. If reality doesn't fit the narrative then reality will have to suffer.
In fact, the Democrats were the party of the Confederacy and the GOP was founded with one purpose in mind; the abolition of slavery. Republicans owned the black vote until FDR bought them with taxpayer money. Now many black people think it was the Democrats who wanted to abolish slavery, or that the Democrats supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (in fact most Democrats opposed it bitterly; it was the Republican Congress that passed the legislation.)
I once had an e-mail exchange with a black kid (I think he was younger but you can never tell on the internet) who said Republicans tried to steal Kansas for slavery in the Bleeding Kansas period prior to the Civil War. Huh? I pointed out that the Republican Party did not even exist until 1854, just a couple of years before the outbreak of hostilities in Kansas and the very same year Stephen Douglas got the Kansas-Nebraska Act to pass. That act promoted the idea of "Popular Sovereignty' which said a potential state could choose whether to be slave or free - abrogating the Missouri Compromise. It was this act that directly led to the Civil War. And Douglas was a Democrat.
But none of this mattered; the kid had been told all his life that Republicans are racists who did what the Democrats actually did, and that was that.
So the media tries at every turn to reinforce the false stereotype they have created and promoted over the years. They excused, even hid, Robert Byrd's membership, nay, leadership in the Ku Klux Klan on the grounds that he was doing "so much good" now. And they'll obfuscate in this matter too.
We don't have a news media, we have a ministry of propaganda.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is thinking of running for President as an independent, and the Democrats are in full panic, fearing he will split the party vote and hand Trump re-election.
At Fox News the pundit John Fund had this to say:
The anti-Trump talking heads and liberal consultants are terrified at the mere thought that an "independent centrist†presidential candidate like Schultz would draw some votes from a liberal Democratic nominee running against President Trump in 2020.
Democrats claim that third party candidates such as Ross Perot and Ralph Nader have swung elections in the past.
Schultz is getting into the race because he is worried about the leftward, lunatic drift of the Democratic Party. Schultz would be called a flaming liberal in any other era, but in this day and age he is a centrist, and he wants to offer a more moderate vision for disaffected democrats.
Which brings me to my point; everyone is assuming Schultz' candidacy will hurt Democrats, but I suspect it will hurt Donald Trump more. How did Trump win in 2016? He won by enticing DEMOCRAT voters to cross the aisle and vote for him. HE was the outsider listening to the old blue collar Democrats when their former party dismissed them as "old white guys" and the GOP equally ignored their wants (like a border wall.) It was Trump's victories in states like Wisconsin - solidly Democratic - that pushed him over the top.
So what happens if Schultz wins this group? Even a small defection could well mean Trump loses in key states, states he has to win.
Marc A.Thiessen makes the obvious point:
Schultz is right. In fact, a recent Pew Research poll found that 53 percent of Democrats want the party to move in a more moderate direction, not embrace the radical policies of Ocasio-Cortez. That is precisely what the party needs to do if it wants to beat President Trump. Democrats should be trying to win back the millions of once-reliable Democratic voters who twice cast their ballots for Barack Obama but switched to Trump in 2016.
Granted, Thiessen, a RINO Republican who used to write speeches for Bush and now writes for the Washington Post, accuses "both sides" of "throwing red meat to their radical bases". Huh? Not sure how much "red meat" we've gotten from the GOP (outside of Trump) and certainly we are hardly a "radical Base" unless enforcing laws, limiting government spending, and other prudent actions that were universally supported through our whole history is somehow "radical". But Thiessen has a point, a good one, in that the middle is now called the Right, and the liberals are now called the center. The end results is the old white union worker, the minor civil servant, the working blacks and others who once formed the backbone of the Democratic Party are now marginalized, and they seek a sympathetic ear. Conditioned all their lives to hate Republicans, and having no good reason to change that attitude now (Republicans can rightly be characterized as a nest-feathering enterprise outside of a few) they embraced Trump in the last election. Will they stick with Trump? A Schultz candidacy could capture a lot of these people, who have not changed in their beliefs but rather have stayed true to themselves while the party they had supported all those years has turned into a marxist entity.
These votes now have only one place to go, but if Schultz gives them an option...
Schultz's candidacy could be disastrous for Trump inn the next election.

Paul Ryan, the Pee Wee Herman of American politics, welched on a deal with Trump whereby the now former House Squeeker, er, Speaker promised to get funding for the border wall in exchange for Trumpelstiltskin signing the $1.3 trillion Omnibus of 2018.
According to the Daily Caller article:
"Well, I was going to veto the omnibus bill and Paul told me in the strongest of language, ‘Please don’t do that, we’ll get you the wall.’ And I said, ‘I hope you mean that, because I don’t like this bill,’†the president recounted in an exclusive Wednesday interview with The Daily Caller.
"Paul told me in the strongest of terms that, ‘please sign this and if you sign this we will get you that wall.’ Which is desperately needed by our country. Humanitarian crisis, trafficking, drugs, you know, everything — people, criminals, gangs, so, you know, we need the wall.â€
"And then he went lame duck,†Trump said.
Now, it is possible Trump is lying but I don't think so; he signed that bill with no enthusiasm whatsoever, and said it was "the last time". Clearly there was a reason for Trump to sign it. Ryan, on the other hand, has always been in favor of open borders and cheap labor courtesy of his paymasters at the Estados Unidos Cámara de Comercio, er, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Ryan has proven a duplicitous weasel and I am glad he never ascended to the Vice Presidency. He is the worst of swamp creatures.
Frankly, I would like to see men like Ryan punished when they get out of office. Now they go on to lucrative lobbying jobs, or jobs in the media or academia, and they make out far better than the average American. It's time for these people to learn they can't knife America in the back and get away with it. Were I The Donald I would send friendly little notes to anyone trying to hire, say, Ryan and warn them that they would get no favors from me while I was in office. But that's just me.
Frankly, we should get all the caballeros who show up at the border with these caravans and plant them in Ryan's front yard. Start a tent city there. Maybe then he'll have a different attitude.
