Gregory Cheadle: I'm Trump's 'African-American'



Gregory Cheadle took no offense when on Friday during a rally, Donald Trump singled him out and asked, “Look at my African-American over here!”

At the Friday rally, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was in the middle of describing a past campaign event, at which he said a black supporter “slugged” protesters who were dressed in a “Ku Klux Klan outfit.”

“I want to find out what’s going on with him,” Trump said of the supporter at the previous rally. He then appeared to spot a black person in the audience of Friday’s event at Redding Municipal Airport.

“Oh, look at my African-American over here,” an excited Trump said, while pointing into the crowd. “Look at him. Are you the greatest? You know what I’m talking about? OK!”

Cheadle, a Republican from Happy Valley in the running for the 1st Congressional District, said he was beaming.

Cheadle4CongressImmigration.html

Illegal immigration has become a curse to this country. Our jails and prisons are filled with illegal aliens, many of whom are gang members, at a cost of billions of dollars per year. Ironically, an illegal alien in prison has health and dental care that many American citizens do not have. Illegal aliens are involved in everything from property damage resulting from traffic accidents to the murder of U.S. citizens…and THEY GET AWAY WITH IT! This MUST BE STOPPED, NOW!

The government makes a big deal about private employers hiring illegal aliens. Private employers are faced with fines if they hire an illegal alien, all in the name of discouraging illegal aliens from coming here. This is nothing more than a blatant double standard. How can the government encourage illegal aliens to come here by offering any number of welfare benefits, education, and medical care, and yet punish someone for hiring them? It makes no sense!!!


And this gem
Religious Liberty...without it there will be Religious Persecution

When a nation seeks to rid itself of Christians - its most peaceful, generous, law abiding citizens, via religious persecution, it will be left with a citizenry so baseless that its bloody and violent demise will be swift and certain. –


Soooo, freedom of religion so long as it is the one we tell you to be? And illegal aliens are bad and need to be stopped, except we should be able to hire them without any regulations?
