Jared Kushner “Respects” Ice Cube & Condemns BLM For “Virtue Signaling”
President Donald Trump’s senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner has been a trending topic on multiple social media platforms after he made an appearance on Fox News. The White House staffer spoke about his father-in-law’s policies and intentions for the Black Americans, but his comments caused many to accuse him of suggesting that Black people are lazy and don’t wantsuccess.

“One thing we’ve seen in a lot of the Black community, which is mostly Democrat, is that President Trump’s policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they’re complaining about,” said Kushner in regards to Trump’s Platinum Plan to invest in Black communities. “But he can’t want them to be successful more than they want to be successful.”
Kushner praised Ice Cube, saying that he respected the rapper for taking action to “solve the problems everyone’s complaining about.” During his Fox & Friends appearance, Ivanka Trump’s husband also targeted supporters of Black Lives Matter movement who Kushner claims were being divisive.
“You saw a lot of people who were just virtue signaling,” he stated. “They go on Instagram and cry or they would put a slogan on their jersey or write something on a basketball court and quite frankly that was doing more to polarize the country.” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany attempted to explain away Kushner’s remarks as being taken out of context, according to CNN.
“From criminal justice reform and record HBCU funding to record low black unemployment and record high income increases, there is simply no disputing that President Trump accomplished what Democrats merely talked about,” she said in a statement.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
