Trump's 'America First'echoes old isolationist ral-lying cry

WASHINGTON (AP) -Presumptive Republicanpresidential nominee

Donald Trump boils downhis foreign policy agenda totwo words: "America First."

For students of U.S. histo-ry, that slogan harkens backto the tumultuous presi-dential election of 1940,when hundreds of thou-sands of Americans joinedthe anti-war America FirstCommittee. That isolation-ist group's primary goal wasto keep the United Statesfrom joining Britain in thefight against Nazi Germany,which by then had overrunnearly all of Europe. But thecommittee is also remem-bered for the unvarnishedanti-Semitism of some ofits most prominent mem-bers and praise for the eco-nomic policies of AdolfHitler.

Articles throughout TheDallas Post Tribune reflectthe views of their authors,

and not necessarily those ofthis publication.

By Denise Rolark-Barnes(Chairperson of the NNPA)

and Benjamin F. Chavis(President and CEO of the NNPA)

Hundreds of newspapershave disappeared in the last15 years and readership is onthe decline. No newspaper isimmune from the migrationof readership to online plat-forms, dwindling ad rev-enues, fragmented audi-ences and even reducedattention spans.

Even national-recognizednewspapers with celebratedhistories like "The New YorkTimes" and "The WashingtonPost" have retrenched in theface of these mounting eco-nomic pressures. Manyregional and communitynewspapers - including somemembers of the historicBlack Press - are barely hang-ing on.

The ramifications of thiscan be profound. Local publi-cations have long served asthe glue that binds commu-nities together. They haveserved as the microphone forvoices that would otherwisebe marginalized and thespotlight on the stories thatseldom make it onto thefront pages of major news-papers and magazines. ForAfrican-American communi-ties, the publications thatmake up the NationalNewspaper PublishersAssociation (NNPA) haveserved as that voice acrossthe nation.

Yet, we are being told thatthe silver lining is that jour-nalism isn't disappearing -and won't be any time soon.Rather, it has just moved toan electronic form. Not onlythat, there are also moreopportunities to tell morestories and express moreopinions than ever before.Some have said that weshould not mourn the loss ofthe local newspaper and thatwe should instead explorethe myriad possibilitiesoffered by the new media. Orso goes the mantra.

In reality, this upbeatvision obscures the threatthat new media poses tocommunity journalism. And

that threat is coming from amost unlikely place - thepopular social media plat-forms that so many of uslove. Chief among them isFacebook.

Like many other publisherswho have recently writtenon Facebook's growingpower over the media andwhat Americans read, we tooare alarmed with one com-pany having such dominancein news aggregation. Onlinehubs like Facebook are ableto engineer which storiescatch on. And they're able todecide by algorithmic fiat,which bylines, viewpointsand subject matter is pro-moted to the masses.

This is a new kind ofpower. It is unlike any powera media company has everhad before. A study last yearreported that Facebookdrove 43 percent of all thetraffic to the top 400 newssites. That's almost half com-ing from one powerfulsource!

What's more, we don'tknow how Facebook's opera-tions work. The tech compa-ny isn't transparent in itsmethods. So we don't knowwhether the viewpoints ofBlack publishers are heard orif there is a bias against ourviews. Without knowing howFacebook's "TrendingTopics" or other algorithmsare used in promoting sto-ries, the owners of Black-owned newspapers, maga-zines and other media areleft only to wonder why thestories our outlets produceare relegated to the margins- if they are acknowledged atall. Our readers are at themercy of powers unheardand unseen as never before.

With 63 percent ofAmericans and 74 percent ofmillennials going toFacebook as their source ofnews, Facebook's power isonly likely to grow in thecoming years. And there issomething ironic about that.The mainstream media wasonce derided as unimagina-tive and monolithic, largelybecause it had long beendominated by three TV net-works and a handful of news-papers in large cities. The

Internet was supposed tochange all that by bringing adiversity of viewpoints to thetable. While this has indeedhappened, the emergence ofone or even a handful ofpowerful gatekeepers likeFacebook raises profoundquestions about the natureof news in this country in theyears to come.

With so much power in thehands of one company, werisk surrendering our owndecisions about what is orisn't newsworthy to a gate-keeper who may somedaypush only stories it deemsworthy. And that's a trou-bling possibility that shouldworry us all.

It is time regulators took ahard look at Facebook and itsnews aggregation and pro-motion practices in an effortto bring some much neededtransparency to the new

media king. The democrati-zation of the media could beon a collision course withdecidedly anti-democraticand arbitrary forces. Think ofthe proverbial tree that fallssilently in the forest becauseno one is there to hear it.Will Facebook have thepower to allow entire foreststo fall without much notice?

Twitter, Facebook andother social media are now usedfor instantaneous news, commen-tary, and the sharing of perspec-tives by hundreds of millions ofpeople throughout the world.

Yet, Black-owned newspapers inthe United States remain in highdemand even amidst the growingdigital age of communications andmultimedia news services. Socialmedia compliments and extendsthe reach of the Black Press.

Thanks to Chevrolet, the DiscoverThe Unexpected (DTU) NNPA

As more youngreaders are now consuming theirnews, sports coverage, and cultur-al aspiration via the Black Press,then the future sustainability ofBlack-owned newspapers is fur-ther assured.

The point here is that the printBlack Press in America is contentrich and therefore is invaluable intoday's context of national andinternational content distribution.There is a substantive differencebetween sensationalism to getmedia attention and good journal-ism that renders objective facts orthat delineates informed opinions.

For more than 189 years theBlack Press in America has repre-sented the best in presenting thefacts, news, struggles and tri-umphs of African American lifeand empowerment. The baton isnow being pass to a generation ofjournalists and publishers who areequally fearless, courageous, andarticulate.

We are proud of the opportunityand the engagement that the DTUis offering to the NNPA family andcommunity of publishers andmedia owners throughout thenation. Already some of our NNPAFellows' news entries have madethe front pages of our newspa-pers. In addition the publishedstories by the NNPA Fellows havesignificantly increased the NNPA'smedia impressions via socialmedia.

It should be noted here thatPresident Barack Obama on theoccasion of the White Houseobservance of the 2016Juneteenth Celebration comment-ed on the importance of continu-ing the struggle against all the lin-gering vestiges of slavery, racism,injustice, and inequality. The BlackPress is today the most capableand responsible vehicle to contin-ue to strive toward fulfilling thegoal of racial, social and economicequality.

President Obama stated,"Juneteenth is a time to recommitourselves to the work that remainsundone. We remember that evenin the darkest hours, there is causeto hope for tomorrow's light.Today, no matter our race, reli-gion, gender, or sexual orientation,we recommit ourselves to workingto free modern-day slaves aroundthe world and to honoring in ourown time the efforts of those whofought so hard to steer our coun-try truer to our highest ideals."

North American leadersconfront rising tide of pro-tectionism

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) -The leaders of NorthAmerica confront a risingtide of economic protec-tionism and nationalism asthey hold a summitWednesday in theCanadian capital.

Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau for the firsttime is hosting U.S.President Barack Obamaand Mexican PresidentEnrique Pena Nieto inOttawa for the NorthAmerican leaders' summit.Obama will also addressthe Canadian Parliament.

The meeting comes oneday after presumptiveRepublican presidentialnominee Donald Trump inthe United States blamedglobalization for the loss ofmillions of manufacturingjobs, and he threatened toextricate the U.S. from the2-decade-old NorthAmerican Free TradeAgreement. Trump alsovowed to withdraw fromthe Trans-PacificPartnership, an agreementamong 12 Pacific Rimnations that has yet to takeeffect, if he were electedpresident. And it comesless than a week afterBritain voted to exit the

European Union.Canadian International

Trade Minister ChrystiaFreeland, chair of theCanada-U.S. cabinet com-mittee, noted that themeeting of the three pro -trade leaders comes at animportant moment.

"This is a time when a lotof leaders in the world aretalking about buildingwalls," Freeland said in aninterview with TheAssociated Press. "Whatyou are going to hear fromthe leaders of Canada, theUnited States and Mexicois that we are a continentand we believe in buildingbridges. We really believein the open society. Thoseare core Canadian values,open to immigration, opento visitors and open totrade." Trump has alsoadvocated building a wallalong the U.S.-Mexico bor-der.

Records: City lawyersweak link in policeaccountability

CHICAGO (AP) - When afederal judge concludedthat a lawyer employed bythe city of Chicago con-cealed audio evidence in acivil trial, the court issued asharp rebuke, saying therecordings showed policelied about the events thatled officers to shoot andkill a black motorist.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel

portrayed it as an isolatedinstance of unscrupulouslawyering, but City Halllawyers have, in fact, facedsimilar criticism in nearlyhalf a dozen police-miscon-duct cases in recent years.

And it's not just Chicago.An Associated Press reviewof hundreds of courtrecords nationwiderevealed similar patterns ofbehavior involving munici-pal attorneys in othercities, including New York,Baltimore, Denver andSpokane, Washington.Lawyers deliberately hidimportant facts, delayedtheir disclosure or other-wise sought to subvert evi-dence in civil cases, thereview found.

Municipal lawyers repre-sent city employees in non-criminal matters and rarelyattract public attentionbecause they operate farbehind elected leaders.Court records indicate theyare often a weak link in sys-tems designed to exposepolice misdeeds and holdofficers accountable.

Attorney Jared Kosoglad,who has been involved inmultiple lawsuits allegingabuses by police, expressesa stark view held widely byfellow Chicago lawyers:"The city has a clear, wide-spread practice of destroy-ing and lying about unfa-vorable evidence."

CITY OF DALLAS CLOSINGS ANDSCHEDULES FOR THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY

Vacations offer time to de-stressand recharge, but if you happen toforget some important medicalitems while you're on your road tripor at the beach, things could take anunfortunate turn.

"Vacations are great for gettingaway from it all to enjoy some qual-ity time with family and friends. Butit's important to plan ahead toavoid taking unnecessary risks withyour family's health and safety,"said Suzette Baez, MD, a pediatri-cian with Parkland Health &Hospital System's Vickery HealthCenter. "There are some basic itemsthat should be on your vacationchecklist, especially if you are trav-eling with children. Make sure youare prepared for whatever maycome up during your time awayfrom home."

One of the first things on your listis to evaluate your health and thehealth of those traveling with you.Consider visiting a doctor if you oranyone in your family recently hadstomach problems such as nausea,vomiting or diarrhea, fever, or aneye or head injury. You should alsoconsult your doctor before leavinghome if you have a runny nose,cough, earache or any other signs ofillness.

To make sure the family vacationis both safe and fun, it's importantto plan ahead for any potentialmedical problems. For example,bring enough prescription medica-tion to last the entire trip, plus a lit-tle extra in case there are delays.Keep the prescriptions in the origi-nal containers in case you are ques-tioned by airport security. Bringcopies of the prescriptions, not onlyfor security personnel, but also in

case your medicines are lost. And,keep you medications in your carry-on luggage.

You should also bring alonghealth insurance cards in case ofemergencies.

"One of the most importantthings to do on vacation, especiallyin summer, is to stay hydrated," Dr.Baez said. "Bring plenty of waterbottles along with you if you can.Otherwise make sure to stock up onbottled water when you get to yourdestination. Parents should watchtheir children for any signs of possi-ble dehydration such as dry, stickymouth, fatigue, thirst, headache ordizziness."

Other items to pack in your sum-mer vacation survival kit include:

•Cell phone and charger•Antibiotic cream•Band-Aids and bandages•Crushable ice pack for bruises•Benadryl•Sun block•Sunglasses•Insect repellent•Ibuprofen or acetaminophenIf anyone in the family has a

severe allergy and epinephrine hasbeen prescribed, make sure youbring their epinephrine auto-injec-tor.

And you should also be aware ofthe difference between urgent andemergency care. Urgent conditionsinclude severe sprains, brokenbones, high fever and nausea.Emergency conditions includeshortness of breath, excessivebleeding, severe organ or bodypain, and early or active labor.

Once you get to your destina-tion, take some steps to keep yourfamily safe, advised Shelli Stephens-

Stidham, director of the InjuryPrevention Center of GreaterDallas, located at Parkland.

"Even though vacations are sup-posed to be fun and relaxing, it'sstill important to practice safetymeasures at all times," Stephens-Stidham said. "For example, ifyou're on a road trip, get your carchecked out ahead of time. Makesure that everyone is buckled upand always use appropriate carseats for children less than 8 yearsof age."

Safety belts apply even whenyou're riding in a taxi, she noted.

If swimming will be a part of thevacation, avoid swimming aloneand always use life jackets whileboating. When you get to yourhotel, try to stay below the sixthfloor, making it easier to be rescuedin case of fire.

"Remember that summer, espe-cially in Texas, means sun. Practicesun safety by using sunscreens andprotective clothing," Stephens-Stidham said. "And to avoid injuries,don't drink alcohol before or duringoutdoor activities."

If your vacation takes you out-side the country be sure you havethe proper vaccinations and docu-ments. If any vaccinations arerequired or advised, get them inplenty of time prior to your depar-ture. The CDC's TravWell app canhelp you with plan a safe andhealthy international vacation,Stephen-Stidham said. The app canhelp you customize a health vaca-tion list and can also help store doc-uments and prescription records.

Parkland experts offer tips for keeping vacation healthy, safe

By Freddie Allen (NNPA National News Editor)

In an effort to level the play-ing field for Black-owned smallbusinesses, the OpportunityFinance Network (OFN),recently launched a servicethat makes it easier to compar-ison shop for the best loans.

Miti Sathe, the senior vicepresident of Small BusinessInitiatives at OFN, said thatsmall business owners can goto Venturize.org, answer a fewquestions like loan amount,age of business and personalcredit score and, in less than 15seconds, the calculator willgenerate a range of loanoptions.

Sathe said that OFN, anational network of communi-ty development financial insti-tutions, wanted to create a toolsimilar to the travel websiteExpedia.com, but for smallbusiness lending.

Venturize.org features tutori-als on borrowing, a loan appli-cation checklist and establish-ing credit for your business, butthe service does not lendmoney or recommend loans.

Minorities own about 8 mil-lion small businesses in theUnited States. The Wall StreetJournal reported that, Black-owned businesses havereceived less than 2 percent ofloan money furnished throughthe Small BusinessAdministration, down nearly 6percent (5.7 percent) since the

recession.As small business owners

increasingly turn to onlinelenders to keep their business-es afloat, a recent TreasuryDepartment report found that,some of those products were"developed in a period of verylow interest rates [and] declin-ing unemployment," economicconditions that may contributeto lower default rates in theindustry, but ultimately don'tshed light on how the compa-nies would respond during afinancial decline.

"Some online marketplacelenders are accepting applica-tions without FICO scores orwith short credit histories andmaking credit decisions basedon the applicant's college,school, and current income,"the report said.

In a press statement aboutVenturize, Sathe said that inthe unregulated online lendingmarketplace, the odds arestacked against women entre-preneurs and small businessowners of color.

"These small business own-ers have historically faced bar-riers to securing lending capitaland are disproportionatelyimpacted by predatory onlineloans that can have devastatingeffects," said Sathe. "Venturizewas created to ensure smallbusiness owners across thecountry can find fair andaffordable loans from responsi-ble lenders that will help themkeep their doors open, the

lights on, and their customershappy."

The Sam's Club GivingProgram's Small BusinessEconomic Mobility initiativeprovided $3.6 million to fundVenturize.

In a press release aboutVenturize.org, Julie Gehrki, thesenior director of the WalmartFoundation, which overseesthe Sam's Club Giving Program,said that the new loan compar-ison tool will be an importantresource for small businessowners as they navigate theborrowing process.

"Sam's Club Giving's SmallBusiness Economic Mobilityinitiative, a five-year invest-ment in small business growththrough increased access tocapital and borrower educa-tion, is committed to investingin user-friendly tools andresources that meet the needsof our nation's small businessowners," said Gehrki.

Sathe said that OFN plans topromote the Venturize.orgsocial media platforms likeFacebook and Twitter and tra-ditional ad campaigns, andadded that she is looking for-ward to working withVenturize.org to reach smallbusiness owners, especially theAfrican American small busi-ness community.

"Oftentimes, there haven'tbeen enough tools targeted tothat community," said Sathe."I'm just really excited for peo-ple to start using the tool."

SOCCEREAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) --

Lionel Messiput his penalty kickover the crossbar, grabbed his shirt,clenched his teeth and covered hisface with both hands.

A few minutes later he walkedoff the field, a dazed, pained lookon his bearded face. The greatestplayer of his generation, perhapssoccer's best ever, he was still with-out a title on Argentina's nationalteam - one he says may nevercome.

''The national team is over forme,'' he told the Argentine networkTyC Sports after Chile beat theAlbiceleste on Sunday night for theCopa America title.

Chile beat Argentina in the finalfor the second straight year, 4-2 inthe shootout following a 0-0 tiethat ended an expanded 16-nationCopa in the United States to markthe championship's 100th anniver-sary.

SWIMMINGOMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Ryan Lochte

powered out to a big lead in theevent he won four years ago at theLondon Olympics, his powerfularms churning through the water,looking very much like a lock foranother trip to the games.

Actually, he was trying to hidethe pain. By the end, it was appar-ent to everyone.

In a stunner on the very firstnight of the U.S. swimming trials,an ailing Lochte was denied achance to defend his Olympic titlein the 400-meter individual medley,finishing third Sunday behind a pairof college teammates who raced

right by him on the closing laps.Lochte appeared to be swim-

ming in molasses on the breast-stroke and freestyle legs, allowingChase Kalisz and Jay Litherland toclaim the two spots on the U.S.team for Rio. Actually, the 11-timeOlympic medalist was hindered bya groin injury sustained in themorning preliminaries.

Lochte is entered in five moreevents in Omaha, giving the 31-year-old plenty of chances to makehis fourth Olympic team.

GYMNASTICSST. LOUIS (AP) - The national

titles are starting to run togetherfor Simone Biles, a three-year blurof near flawlessly executed rou-tines and carry-on cases full ofmedals.

If Biles is being honest, thefourth straight all-around champi-onship she cruised to on Sundaynight wasn't so much a competitionas an exhibition and one morething for Biles to scratch off herchecklist before the next real test,the one that in some ways will helpdefine her legacy: Rio de Janeiroand the Summer Olympics.

It's a destination Biles is finallyallowing herself to think after put-ting up a two-day total of 125.00 -the highest during her historic runat the top - to beat three-timeOlympic medalist Aly Raisman bynearly four points. Only nextweek's Olympic Trials, a mere for-mality, stand between the 19-year-old Texan and the global stage.

DIVINGINDIANAPOLIS (AP) - David

Boudia and Kassidy Cook couldn't

wait to share their Olympicmoments Sunday.

So Boudia walked calmly to thestands and grabbed his toddlerdaughter from his wife, holding herup so she could celebrate with him.

Cook hugged everyone in sight.Now the defending Olympic

champion in men's 10-meter andAmerica's comeback kid inwomen's 3-meter will head to Rioas teammates after winning thefinal events at this year's U.S.Olympic diving trials.

PAT SUMMITTKNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Pat

Summitt's family said Sunday thatthe last few days have been difficultfor the former Tennessee women'sbasketball coach as her Alzheimer'sdisease progresses.

Amid reports of Summitt's failinghealth, her family issued a state-ment asking for prayers and sayingthat the 64-year-old Summitt is sur-rounded by the people who meanthe most to her. It also asked forprivacy.

The statement was posted onthe Pat Summitt Foundation's web-site and was issued by ErinFreeman, a spokeswoman for theSummitt family.

GOLFBETHESDA, Md. (AP) - Billy

Hurley III held the club in his lefthand and fist pumped with hisright. Not far from his Annapolishome and the Naval Academy hegraduated from, he became achampion.

Hurley shot a 2-under 69 onSunday to win his hometownQuicken Loans National atCongressional for his first PGA Tourvictory. He finished at 17 under inTiger Woods' annual tournament,three strokes ahead of three-timemajor champion Vijay Singh.

The 19-year-old New Zealanderhas 13 career LPGA Tour victories,also winning the Kia Classic andmajor ANA Inspiration in consecu-tive weeks in Southern California.She broke the previous tourna-ment record by two strokes.

Ko has finished sixth or better ineach of her four appearances atPinnacle Country Club, and she hasshot under par in all 12 rounds.

Morgan Pressel, tied for the leadwith Ko at 14 under entering theday, had a 71 to tie for second withCandie Kung (69).

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - KirkTriplett rallied to win the inauguralAmerican Family InsuranceChampionship for his fifth PGATour Champions title, making fourstraight birdies in front of anotherlarge crowd at University Ridge.

The 54-year-old Triplett shot a7-under 65 to finish at 17-under199, two strokes ahead of BartBryant and Mike Goodes on thecourse softened by 2 inches ofovernight rain. Because of the wetconditions, players were allowedto use preferred lies in the fair-ways.

AUTO RACINGSONOMA, Calif. (AP) - Tony

Stewart returned to victory lanefor the first time in three years invintage fashion - refusing to letDenny Hamlin steal a win atSonoma Raceway away from himon the final lap Sunday.

Now he's probably got a shot torun for a fourth NASCAR champi-onship in his final season beforeretirement.

Stewart, mired in an 84-race los-ing streak dating to 2013, finallywon to stop a slide of poor per-formances, injuries and personalturmoil that has tarnished the endof his career.

Hamlin made it interesting bypouncing on a Stewart mistake tosnatch the lead away from Stewartin the seventh turn of the final lap.Stewart grabbed it back in trickyTurn 11, where he dove to theinside of Hamlin and as the tworaced side-by-side, Stewart pushedHamlin toward the wall.

Stewart got past Hamlin andcharged to the checkered flag withthe entire side of his car crumpledand his tires slightly smoking fromthe contact with Hamlin.
