U.S. HISTORY TEXTBOOK PORTRAYS TRUMP AS MENTALLY ILL, RACIST
Depicts extremist attracting bigoted white voters in 2016

A new high-school American history textbook depicts President Donald Trump as mentally ill and castigates both him and his supporters as racist.
Published by Pearson Education, By the People: A History of the United States will be used by many Advanced Placement students beginning in 2020, reports Todd Starnes.
In the final section, titled The Angry Election of 2016, the book states Trumps not very-hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary voters.
Most thought that Trump was too extreme a candidate to win the nomination, but his extremism, his anti-establishment rhetoric, and, some said, his not very hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary voters, the book says.
Trumps supporters, the author writes, are mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white.
It says supporters of Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidates gender and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nations history.
Clinton supporters also worried about the mental stability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation.
A high-school student in Minnesota, Tarra Snyder, told Fox News she was appalled by the blatantly biased textbook.
It was really, really surprising to me, she said. I really believe that learning should be objective and that students can make their own decisions based on what theyre able to learn in a classroom, and if the facts are skewed then students arent able to make well-rounded decisions on what they believe.
Starnes said a Pearson spokesman defended the textbook, arguing it underwent rigorous peer review to ensure academic integrity.
This work is designed to convey college-level information to high school students and meet specific Advanced Placement standards. It aims to promote debate and critical thinking by presenting multiple sides of historical issues and offering a broad survey of arguments from the 2016 presidential election and other recent topics, the spokesman said.
We have reviewed the passages in question independently and in the context of the rest of the book. This review has confirmed that the text offers a broad view of critical arguments from both sides of the 2016 presidential election.
Raw hatred
Powerline blogger Paul Mirengoff wrote that the textbook clearly is using the phrase Clinton supporters as a device to plant the idea that President Trump is mentally unstable, a proposition for which there is no basis other than raw hatred of the man.
Responding to Pearsons defense, he said the peers who reviewed the book clearly share the blatant partisanship and mindless anti-Trumpism of the textbooks author.
If they didnt hate Trump, they wouldnt be peers. They would be academic outcasts, Mirengoff wrote.
He said any schools that uses the book should be the target of vigorous protests.
The political blowback should be fierce, he said.
A Peoples History
In an interview with WND in December, a former Reagan administration official, Daniel Oliver, pointed to history books that have falsely portrayed his former boss as an amiable dunce.
As the president of the Education and Research Institute, he is spearheading The American History Book Project, which is critiquing, page by page, the national best-selling, high-school history textbook The American Pageant.
The textbook denigrates almost every Republican president, the Washington, D.C.-based group has found, calling Eisenhower a closet racist and Reagan no intellectual.
To say Reagan was not an intellectual is extraordinary, Oliver told WND, citing his personal knowledge of the president.
Oliver noted the most popular history book at one time was A Peoples History of the United States, by Howard Zinn.
A longtime member of communist groups in the United States, Zinn died in 2010 after influencing generations of American high school students.
While others have supplanted Zinns book, his left-wing interpretation of American history decades of exploitation and discrimination by privileged upper classes persists, noted Oliver.
The fact that you are raped, does not give you the right to murder someone. In spite of his long list of personal moral failures, Trump seems to get this basic moral principle. Many in the "pro-life" movement - who make exceptions for rape and incest - need to have this kind of moral clarity.
by Hector Garza The crisis at the southern border is no accident. It's the intentional result of deliberate efforts by liberal activists to encourage illegal immigration on a massive scale.
Take a look at the article from Nate Jackson with The Patriot Post. He goes through the argument from the fake news left that it was their reporting on Trump that actually kept him from collusion with Russia. Wait...what? Yep, and there's more...
"The Press Didn't Just Report Accurately on Trump-Russia Corruption. It Prevented the Corruption From Being Worse." So read a headline at Slate yesterday over a story in which the site's "chief news blogger," Ben Mathis-Lilley, argued that the Leftmedia basically got the collusion narrative right all along (though, notably, he used the word "corruption," not "collusion").
Lets set the record straight. Jesus was a Galilean Jew, not a Palestinian Muslim. He celebrated Passover, not Ramadan,
and he was called Rabbi not Imam. His followers were named Yaakov and Yochanan and Yehudah, not Muhammad and
Abdullah and Khalid. And he himself had one of the most common Jewish names of the day: Yeshua.
As for the name Palestine, it was not used in any widespread way to describe the land of Israel until 135 AD in other words,
more than 100 years after Yeshuas death and resurrection. And it was renamed Palestine by the Romans to mock the Jewish people, thereby calling their ancient (and sacred) homeland the land of the Philistines.
But is not only anachronistic to label Jesus a Palestinian. It is also misleading.
Thats because the word Palestinian today speaks of non-Israelites, of non-Jews. It speaks of a people who claim that the land of Israel belongs to them, not to the Jewish people. And it speaks primarily of Muslims.
Thats what comes to mind when someone says, Jesus was a Palestinian. And thats why Palestinian activists have tried to recast Jesus in their own image.
Leading up to Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem last year, Fatah officials called Jesus the first Palestinian.
Five years earlier, in 2013, the PLO declared, Every Christmas, Palestine celebrates the birth of one of its own, Jesus Christ.
Back in 2005, the PA stated that, We must not forget that Messiah [Jesus] is a Palestinian, the son of Mary the Palestinian.
And Fatah even declared Jesus to be the first Palestinian martyr (shahid) in 2015.
Anything but declaring that Jesus, who is revered in Islam as a prophet (but not as the crucified Son of God), was a first-century Jewish rabbi.
Instead, Jesus is recast as a Palestinian freedom fighter, born of a Palestinian mother, at war with the evil Jews, and (through Islamic eyes) a prophet of Islam. God forbid that he is recognized as Rabbi Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel.
But its one thing when Palestinian activists and Muslim propagandists recreate Jesus in their own image, calling him a Palestinian.
Its another thing when a member of the House of Representatives does this same thing. Yet it was none other than Rep. Ilhan Omar
who retweeted a tweet from Omar Suleiman which included the statement that Jesus was a Palestinian. In fact, the tweet highlighted
the suffering of Palestinian Christians at the hands of evil Israel, further separating Jesus from his Jewish ancestry.
It was for good reason that Rabbi Abraham Cooper took umbrage to Omars retweet, noting that Palestine was a name made up by
Romans after they crucified thousands, destroyed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and exiled the People of Israel from their homeland.
But Omar is not the only one to perpetuate this fraud.
In an op-ed in the New York Times, published one day before the misleading tweet, Eric V. Copage claimed that Jesus,
born in Bethlehem, was most likely a Palestinian man with dark skin.
Jesus the Palestinian!
And note carefully that, in an op-ed of roughly 700 words, the word Jew does not occur a single time. The same with the word Israel.
Not one single mention.
Ironically, Copage was explaining why he, as a black Christian, was mystified as a child at the fair-skinned, blue-eyed depiction of Jesus.
And for good reason. Jesus was not a European Caucasian.
But he was also not an African Black. Or a Palestinian.
He was a first-century, Middle Eastern Jew. And he would have been recognized for his Jewish religious garb,
including the fringes at the corners of his garments (see Numbers 15:37-41; and compare Matthew 9:20; 14:36 in the RSV;
NRSV; ESV; NASB; NLT; TLV).
That doesnt mean that Jesus is indifferent to the challenges faced by the Palestinians. Or that he doesnt identify with
Palestinian Christians. Or that American Christians who support Israel should be anti-Palestinian.
Not at all.
True friends of Israel especially true Christian friends of Israel should want justice and fairness for both the Israelis and the Palestinians.
As for Jesus, he is both the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world, giving his life for Jew and Gentile alike.
But lets call out this hijacking of Jesus identity by Palestinian activists, Muslim leaders, a US congresswoman,
and the New York Times.
Lets stop the lie in its tracks.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian election meddling, had a few things to say about the way it started. Starting with the Obama administration. "The previous Administration chose not to publicize the full story about Russian computer hackers and social media trolls, and how they relate to a broader strategy to undermine America," he said.
