Georgia Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler can try to run, but they can't hide from voters this November they are coming out of office.

I see Reverend Al Sharpton has attacked President Trump saying "We Cannot Use Bibles as Props". So what church is Rev. Al Sharpton the pastor at?

Who knew that all it took was 1 bad COP to cure the Corona problem in the US.

Explained in its simplest terms. Liberals believe you are responsible for what somebody else did 50 plus years ago that happened to share your skin color.

Months before the uproar over George Floyd's death in Minnesota rocked police forces across the U.S., President Donald Trump received a reelection endorsement from the International Union of Police Associations.

Every top Democrat currently running for this office has vilified the police and made criminals out to be victims," said Sam Cabral, president of the AFL-CIO-chartered organization. "They seem to take any union's support for granted."

That was in September. In March, with similar stridency, the American Federation of Teachers endorsed Democrat Joe Biden and blasted the Republican White House. An AFT resolution accused Education Secretary Betsy DeVos of making it her mission "to defund and destroy public education." AFT president Randi Weingarten is a longtime member of the Democratic National Committee.

Labor's allegiance might matter in November. More public employees belong to unions in the U.S. than do workers in the private sector.

Different unions become targets or allies of different elected officials depending on circumstance. Such dealings are complicated because politicians are the bosses and funders of government employees.

Trump has enjoyed vocal support from, among others, a police union leader in Minneapolis, whose members included ex-Officer Derek Chauvin, now facing murder charges in Floyd's death.

And last year, it was revealed that Trump urged his top border-security official to finalize a contract with the Border Patrol union, a political ally of Trump's. This contract boosted the number of union officers who can draw public pay without having to perform patrol duties.

As a result, the federal government now finances the equivalent of 74 full-time union positions, according to the Washington Post, and union officers are free to engage in partisan activity.

This type of perk and alliance has been common in New York City and on Long Island regardless of party.

In blue-state New York, however, special arrangements sought and won by uniformed services in the past are drawing sharper scrutiny. This month, for instance, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed a repeal of the provision known as 50-a, which allowed law enforcement to shield its disciplinary records from public view.

Tension along similar lines developed between Michael Bloomberg, the city's most recent Republican mayor, and the United Federation of Teachers over discipline and instances of misconduct. At the time, political pressure on teachers over school performance was building around the nation, with critics demanding better testing and evaluation.

Now all eyes are on police practices.

Even Trump has bowed to the Floyd protests with an executive order that creates a federal database of police officers with a record of excessive force. Overall he's refused to link the issue of police abuse to race. Trump won't be relying on widespread African American support in the election; Biden will.

Rivalry between teacher unions and police unions, meanwhile, is not unheard of.

Six years ago, Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Police Benevolent Association, condemned New York City UFT president Michael Mulgrew for co-sponsoring a rally with the Rev. Al Sharpton to protest Eric Garner's death during an arrest on Staten Island.

How would he like it," Lynch asked at the time, "if police officers lined up with the activists who oppose his efforts to shield bad teachers and undermine effective charter schools?

The ESSENCE Festival Of Culture Is Going Virtual! TUNE IN NOW! - Essence

Juneteenth has been celebrated among African Americans for 155 years as the day when slavery was finally abolished in the United States.

But June 19 should be a national holiday, the Rev. Al Sharpton said, because it was the first day that made this country step up to the model it announced, that all men are created equal.

Sharpton, a nationally known civil rights activist and founder of the National Action Network, was the keynote speaker at Tulsas Juneteenth celebration, held Friday in the Greenwood District.

I dont care about threats, Sharpton said at one point in his speech.

Earlier in the day, it was revealed that Sharpton had begun receiving death threats soon after his arrival in Tulsa.

At a hastily called press event about 90 minutes before Sharpton was to take the stage for his keynote address, organizers said Sharpton was very concerned about his safety and that there had been some suggestions that Sharptons appearance, and perhaps the rest of the festival itself, be canceled.

However, Sharpton who was introduced by Tiffany Crutcher, whose friendship with Sharpton began in the wake of the killing of her brother Terence Crutcher, as a true friend and a true freedom fighter strode out onto the Juneteenth stage and immediately led the crowd in the chant No justice, no peace.

Through the rest of his 30-minute address, Sharpton exhorted and encouraged the crowd with examples of strength and resilience from African American history and several pointed jabs at President Donald Trump.

Thats why Im puzzled by people who go around saying Make America Great Again, Sharpton said. I want them to give me the date when America was great for everybody.

He listed a number of historic situations, from the discrimination under Jim Crow laws to women being denied the right to vote and immigrants being barred in spite of the Statue of Libertys offer to bring me your huddled masses, that did not portray a great America.

Sharpton then remarked on the diversity of the crowd and said, We are the ones who are going to make America great for everybody for the first time.

In reference to Trumps tweet that seemed to promise all protesters coming to Trumps campaign rally Saturday at the BOK Center would be met with violence, Sharpton said, If I had said what Trump said, I would have been charged with inciting violence.

He also mocked Trumps professed ignorance of Juneteenth and its importance to African Americans. Trumps rally was originally scheduled for Friday but was moved to Saturday in the face of local and national outrage.

Juneteenth commemorates the date slaves in Texas finally received the news about the Emancipation Proclamation.

Sharpton said Trump, a native New Yorker, grew up in a city where two-thirds of the population was African American or Latino.

His lack of knowledge about this pivotal event was either the result of an insensitive and isolated life or hes lying. In either case, Sharpton said, Trump was too culturally deficient to address this country as its head of state.

Sharpton also challenged Trumps claims of doing a great deal for the African American community, saying that many of the things Trump claimed to have accomplished, such as lowered unemployment, were the result of President Barack Obamas policies.

You just rode the wave, Sharpton said. He challenged Trump to use his rally Saturday to set out definite policies dealing with racism and police brutality.

If you come to Tulsa and you cant say something concrete (about these issues), then dont say anything at all, he said.

Sharpton said Juneteenth should be a national holiday because it was the first day this country stepped up to living up to the model it announced, that all men are created equal. That is why all humane and decent people should celebrate this day.

Sharpton was preceded by several notable members of Tulsas African American community, including the Rev. Robert Turner of Vernon AME Church and attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons, both of whom spoke about the need for reparations resulting from the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, in which the area where this years Juneteenth Festival was held was destroyed.

At a media briefing earlier in the day, Sharpton stressed that he came to Tulsa for a specific reason.

I came here to address an issue, Sharpton said, referring to the recent protests against racism and police brutality in the wake of the high-profile killings of African Americans in recent weeks, such as the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

I would say to Trump, you should deal with the issue the issue of how to deal with racial inequality, he said. He needs to tell his policy of how he is going to close the racial gap in America.

On the positive side, Sharpton said, I have seen more unity among Black and white people in the last three weeks than I have ever seen, referring to the largely peaceful protests that have swept the nation in the aftermath of Floyds death.
