MLK’s Niece Admits "I Voted For Trump"
By Tyler Durden
Submitted by Matt C. Abbott via AmericanThinker.com,
The latest media-manufactured controversy surrounding President-elect Trump involves Congressman John Lewis, who won’t be attending the inauguration because he believes Mr. Trump will be an illegitimate president. (He reportedly believed the same about George W. Bush.)
American Thinker editor Thomas Lifson has written a very good piece about how the congressman shouldn’t be considered immune from criticism simply because of his background as a civil rights leader.
Lifson writes:
The American left created a claque around [Congressman Lewis], requiring any serious discussion of the man to include a disclaimer as to his heroic status and infallibility…. This made him the perfect voice to go where no elected representative should go following the operation of the constitutional machinery for picking a president.
As a Catholic commentator and pro-life advocate, I asked Evangelist Alveda C. King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a pro-life leader (she serves as director of Civil Rights for the Unborn, the African-American outreach for Priests for Life and Gospel of Life Ministries), if she hopes Mr. Trump will be a pro-life president.
Evangelist King graciously responded as follows:
‘I pray that all polar opposites learn to Agape Love, live and work together as brothers and sisters—or perish as fools. While I voted for Mr. Trump, my confidence remains in God, for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Prayers for President-elect Trump, Congressman Lewis, and everyone including leaders.’
Obviously Evangelist King believes Mr. Trump will be a legitimate president.
God bless her for the work she does and for not being afraid of the viciousness of the radical leftists who have co-opted the civil rights movement to further their anti-life, anti-family, libertine agenda.

Pound Slides After Theresa May’s Speech Leaks: UK PM Lays Out "Clean EU Break" In 12-Point Plan
By Tyler Durden
While hardly coming as much of a a surprise following the weekend’s news that Theresa May would call for a “clean and hard Brexit”, confirmation received moments ago from both the Telegraph, FT and Bloomberg that on Tuesday May will indeed declare that Britain is making a “clean break” from the EU and will not seek a deal that leaves the country “half in and half out”, has send the sterling lower by some 25 pips, because even though the news is not incremental, as Bloomberg notes quoting a trader, “Algos Trade Off Keyword Flagged in Speech.”
According to The Telegraph, which has likely seen an advance copy of her speech tomorrow, the UK Prime Minister will set out a 12-point plan for Brexit as she vows that the UK will not have “partial” membership of the EU “that leaves us half-in, half-out”. Mrs May will make her most significant speech since becoming Prime Minister in July last year and confirm that Britain will leave the single market and customs union after Brexit.
Some more details of her upcoming speech, courtesy of the Telegraph:
- In remarks that will delight Conservative Eurosceptics, May will pledge that Britain outside the European Union will be a “great, global trading nation” that is “respected around the world and strong, confident and united at home”.
- The Prime Minister will make regaining control of Britain’s borders one of the central themes of her Brexit strategy and will also make clear that the rights of UK expats will be protected.
- She will make clear for the first time that Britain will not seek a watered down version of Brexit, something that Remain campaigners are still pushing for.
- The Prime Minister will say that Britain is quitting the single market and although she will be less explicit on the issue of the customs union, her remarks will make clear that after Brexit the UK will no longer be a member.
- She will say that the Government has “12 objectives that amount to one big goal: a new, positive and constructive partnership between Britain and the European Union”.
The 12 objectives are understood to include gaining control of Britain’s borders, taking the UK out of the jurisdiction of the European courts, preserving the Union, maintaining workers’ rights and signing major free trade deals.
“And as we negotiate that partnership, we will be driven by some simple principles: we will provide as much certainty and clarity as we can at every stage,” Mrs May will add. “And we will take this opportunity to make Britain stronger, to make Britain fairer, and to build a more Global Britain too.”
Her remarks will be seen as a direct rebuke to European leaders who have repeatedly claimed that Britain will have to compromise on freedom of movement if it wants membership of the single market or customs union. “We seek a new and equal partnership – between an independent, self-governing, Global Britain and our friends and allies in the EU,” the Prime Minister will say in …read more

‘Bikers For Trump’ Vow To Form A "Wall Of Meat" To Protect Inauguration From Protesters
By Tyler Durden
In 2001, disaffected, Gore-supporting snowflakes shut down various parts of the Bush inauguration after increasingly violent crowds pelted his motorcade with eggs during his procession down Pennsylvania Avenue. And while many have predicted a similar fate for the Trump administration this Friday with protesters already descending upon D.C. amid vows to “paralyze the city“, Trump has one advantage that Bush did not, namely 5,000 “Bikers for Trump” who have said they will form a “wall of meat” to guard against any protesters looking to disrupt the festivities.
Chris Cox, the founder of the pro-Trump group, has said that roughly 5,000 of the club’s 200,000 members will ride to Washington, D.C., and attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday. Appearing on Fox Friends, Cox said that attendees will be prepared to “form a wall of meat” and go “toe-to-toe with anyone that is going to break through any police barriers.”
“The bikers are certainly used to being outnumbered and we are prepared to form a wall of meat. We’re anticipating a celebration here. We don’t anticipate any problems. We have a strict code of conduct where we don’t condone violence. But again in the event that we’re needed, you can certainly count on the Bikers for Trump.”
“We’ll be shoulder-to-shoulder with our brothers and we’ll be toe-to-toe with anyone that is going to break through any police barriers, that’s going to be assaulting women, spitting on them, throwing things at them. We are anticipating a peaceful transition of power.”
“The backbone of the biker community is the veteran. So these are guys that aren’t really used to backing down. You certainly won’t see bikers out there screaming, calling for destruction of private property or the death of police officers.”
As we pointed out last week, Trump’s inauguration is expected to attract up to 750,000 protesters, some of whom have vowed to “paralyze the city”, from anti-Trump groups including DisruptJ20 and RefuseFacism.org.
Several protest groups planning large-scale demonstrations have permits in place and have already held organizational meetings, among them the collaborative DisruptJ20.
“We’re planning a series of massive, direct actions that will shut down the inauguration ceremonies and any related celebrations,” the group says. “We’re also planning to paralyze the city.”
Organizers say they are targeting everything from the parade to the balls and plan to use blockades and protesters to stop traffic, public transit and parties.
The group RefuseFacism.org is planning a small-scale protest Saturday in the city’s McPherson Square, just blocks from the White House, that organizers hope will grow into larger inauguration-weekend protests.
The group burned U.S. flags this summer at the Democratic and Republican national conventions and this week tried to disrupt the Senate confirmation hearing for Alabama GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions to become Trump’s attorney general.
“I wouldn’t want to meet with [Trump], but I would say to him, ‘You’re a fascist. Your regime is illegitimate.’ And it must not be allowed to take power,” the group’s Carl Dix told Fox …read more
