Midknight Review -- new and revised: Trump plans to pardon Jack Johnson, convicted of taking a white woman (on a date) across state lines.

Trump plans to pardon Jack Johnson, convicted of taking a white woman (on a date) across state lines.

Brent D. Griffiths / Politico:

Trump says he's ‘considering’ a pardon for boxer Jack Johnson — President Donald Trump said Saturday he is considering a posthumous pardon for boxing champion Jack Johnson, who was convicted over a century ago under racially motivated charges for his relationship with a white woman.

Editor: One of the most comprehensive articles in Wikipedia is the one dealing with Jack Johnson. Very interesting.

Johnson was Heavy Weight Champion of the World for 8 years (1907-1915) and Black Champion for a number of years before that.

His first fight was in 1898 and his last fight, his 102nd, was in November of 1945. The man was a bad ass.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
