[Going viral] Crowd STUNS everyone at Trump rally
President Donald Trump held his final rally of the 2018 midterm election campaign on Monday night in Missouri — his third rally of the day and 11th in his final sprint before Election Day.
At the rally, a crowd of Trump supporters broke into song after an elderly woman collapsed and needed immediate medical attention.
Trump paused the rally for roughly 10 minutes and told the crowd of supporters to “say a little prayer” for the woman as she was receiving treatment from emergency responders.
“Is there a doctor in the house, please? Doctor? Please. Thank you,” Trump said, according to The Hill.
As medical staff made their way to the woman, Trump said: “Take your time. Take your time. Relax.” After several minutes the audience broke into the hymn “Amazing Grace.”
The president resumed his speech after getting a signal from a man in a suit that the woman was OK. Trump said of the singing, “That was beautiful.”
He added that, “Hopefully she’ll be OK.”
A video from the stunning performance has gone viral on Twitter with over 4,000 shares, and nearly 10,000 likes.
Watch the beautiful rendition of “Amazing Grace” below —

TRUMP SAYS HE’S NOT DITCHING POCAHONTAS NICKNAME FOR ELIZABETH WARREN
Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent
President Donald Trump pledged Monday not to give up his derisive nickname for Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren after she produced DNA test results showing a far distant relative of Native American descent.
“That name is too good to give up,” Trump declared. The president made a similar remark at a Sunday campaign rally saying, “I can’t call her Pocahontas anymore because she has no Indian blood … I have more Indian blood than she does and I have none.”

Trump’s comments came during a campaign stop in Ohio while railing against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray, a close associate of Warren.
Warren has long claimed to have Native American ancestry based upon familial lore, even going so far as to submit recipes to a cookbook dedicated to Native American cuisine. Harvard Law School featured her as a “minority” professor in the 1990s based on herself-listing in a directory as a Native American.
Warren’s test results released in October showed she is somewhere between 1/64 to 1/1024 Native American.
While Americans Pretend To Be Oppressed, The Chinese Run Concentration Camps
Progressives who think America is an oppressive regime need only look to China to see what real oppression looks like and how lucky they really are.
By David Marcus
It is commonplace in America today to hear that our president is a dangerous authoritarian, that our government is veering towards fascism, and that we are losing our place as a champion for freedom around the world. For many the desire to feign that they are seriously oppressed is powerful and deep. But a glance around the globe shows how misguided this belief is, and how it minimizes truly serious oppression.
Deeply troubling reports from the BBC show that China is rounding up and imprisoning up to 1 million Muslim Uighur people in the Xinjiang province. These are people who have committed no crime but are nonetheless locked up, and according to some reports beaten and tortured. China’s defense for these actions is that these people are merely being reeducated.
The Uighurs in western China, which borders Muslim countries, are seen as a troubling minority by the Chinese government. While Americans pretend that efforts to secure our borders portend some kind of massive racist malfeasance, something very close to an atrocity goes on in China and our progressive left is silent.
It is true that some Uighurs have committed terrorist acts in China, but the detainment policy is not meant to punish those who have committed acts of terror, but to prevent innocent people from ever doing so. The “reeducation camps,” as the Chinese euphemize them, are supposedly meant to make the Uighurs less susceptible to extremism. But the truth is far darker.
According to the BBC, “Mainstream religious activity, the mildest dissent and any link with Uighurs living in foreign countries appear to be enough to sweep people into their system.” Satellite images show the rapid growth of these camps over the past three years, growth that shows no sign of slowing. There is no way to look at the situation as anything other than a massive humanitarian crisis.
There is likely very little that the U.S. government can do to stop these camps and the internment of these innocent people in China. But at the very least, our elected officials and media could spend more time focused on it and talking about it. A million people being rounded up and thrown in camps because of their religion used to be something that got Americans’ attention. Today, not so much.
It is worth considering that part of the reason for this silence from and in the United States is that many Americans see our own current government as so flawed and oppressive that we have no moral high ground from which to criticize China. This is a dangerous development. Much of the influence that America has used to make the world more democratic historically stemmed from our deep belief that our system of government, our freedom and liberty, are worthy of replication around the globe.
But do Americans still believe in our system? That isn’t clear. Consider, for example, a recent viral article in Marie Claire titled, “Why Trump’s America Makes Me Regret Adopting My Daughters.” The author is worried that she made a “tragic mistake” adopting her girls from China.
This section particularly stood out: “I pulled those two beautiful babies away from a rising power and into a damaged democracy. I brought two girls of color into a society where it’s clear that their word and their bodies are worth less than a man’s—and where open, overt racism has become even more likely now than it was a decade ago. And unfortunately, my worries aren’t exactly tinfoil-hat-wearing paranoia.”
First of all, as is the case with my little sister from China, these girls would have faced an incredibly difficult life there, one that in all likelihood would have been mired in poverty. But let’s set that aside and focus on the fact that the “rising power” where these children would supposedly be better off is literally running concentration camps. This comparison is amazing. But this idea that the United Sates is no better than any other country is unfortunately becoming far too commonplace.
While it is completely appropriate for Americans to criticize and protest their government when it does things they think are wrong, this kind of relativism is a slap in the face to the billions of people who face actual, life-threatening oppression. It is not so much Donald Trump’s “scary” rhetoric that hampers our moral leadership in the world, it is the increasing belief that we are not moral.
Progressives need to look around the world and understand that they still live in a nation in which they have extraordinary rights, a nation in which, as the midterms showed, any type of person can rise to political leadership. To put it bluntly, they should realize just how incredibly lucky they are to be here while Uighurs await uncertain fates in Chinese concentration camps.
America is not an authoritarian dictatorship, and it is not heading in that direction. Pretending that it is isn’t only doing harm to our own nation and its sense of value, it is also depriving the rest of the world of a much-needed model of a rights-based society. So the next time someone tells you how oppressed she is here in America, show her this article and remind her that real oppression exists, not as a possibility, or a fear, but as a reality for a million innocent people locked away.

President Trump Beats the Green Wave and the Liberal Media
President Trump Beats the Green Wave and the Liberal Media
The big story of the 2018 election is how totally the news media missed the issue of what waves were building.
There was no red wave. If there had been, Republicans would have kept the House and had even more pickups in the Senate.
There was no blue wave. If there had been, Democrats would have gained control of the Senate.
There was an underreported green wave, which attempted to drown Republicans in left-wing money.
There was the usual anti-Republican liberal media wave, which tried to prop up Democrats.
This was a fascinatingly complex election in which unique Republican personalities won re-election as governors in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maryland — three clearly blue and one purple state in the Northeast.
The biggest change in this election was the sheer volume of money generated by left-wing billionaires and activist groups who hated Trump.
In congressional race after congressional race, Republicans suddenly found millions poured in against them on a scale that resembled Senate races in the past.
House Republicans had hurt themselves by allowing the number of House incumbent retirees to become larger than any time since 1930, when the Brookings Institution started tracking it. Breaking an 88-year record for retirees is a tough way to start an off-year election for the incumbent president’s party.
Despite this institutional disadvantage, President Trump’s House losses were far less than either the 54 seats President Clinton lost in 1994 or the 63 seats President Obama lost in 2010.
Measured against the Clinton-Obama standard, you would have to give President Trump an A+ for keeping Republican House losses to a minimum – and setting the stage for a Republican majority comeback in the 2020 presidential election.
In the Senate, the President, working with Leader Mitch McConnell, put together a great, focused campaign that has reversed historic norms and gained seats. In fact, as I am writing this, it appears that enough Republicans will have won senate seats that it will be far more difficult for Democrats to have a shot at winning a Senate majority in 2020 than anyone might have expected.
The best example of the green wave’s failure is Congressman Beto O’Rourke. He became the darling of the media – the Left’s political rock star to battle Senator Ted Cruz (who the media despises). O’Rourke raised more than $70 million, a record for U.S. Senate races – and an amount we used to associate with presidential campaigns. After all the liberal media hype, and the sheer volume of money from the green wave, O’Rourke lost. Once again, the voters of Texas disappointed the liberal media by refusing to elect their darling.
Republicans gained Senate seats to an unprecedented degree, because President Trump personally crisscrossed the county holding massive rallies (which dwarfed the size of Obama’s rallies).
This was President Trump’s victory, and he and Senate Leader McConnell will use it well to continue getting judges and other nominees confirmed, to block left-wing actions by the Pelosi Democrats, and to set the stage for key legislative achievements the American people want (probably starting with infrastructure investments and reforms).
I will write in more detail in a few days on the green wave and the scale of the Left’s commitment to defeat President Trump.
For the moment, suffice it to say that the President defeated both the money wave and the liberal media – and had a very successful midterm election for a first-term president.
