Donald Trump's Racism is nothing new. What is surprising is the people who are Applauding his openly-Racist Speeches. The latest twist in this story is the Trump Campaign's Big Lie about Anti-White Racism.  Trump is now promising to undo all Civil Rights Laws that were designed to help historically underserved communities.  This is a quote from Axios:  "Should former President Donald Trump be reel...

THE STATESMAN - THE SHOWMAN AND THE BORDER CRISIS - WHERE IS CONGRESS? Watching the current President and former President at the U.S.-Mexico Border, in different locations and with different people, but on the same day, highlighted how different Biden and Trump are.

What should have been a celebration for President Biden turned into a "Media Feeding Frenzy" about his Age and Memory following a personal, poorly written report by a Republican Special Counsel.

The Supreme Court is in the spotlight for two Trump Criminal Cases...

In a sweeping, legal rebuke, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied Donald Trump's appeal for Immunity from Criminal Prosecution.

Three of the four Trials former President Donald Trump faces this year made news last week.  The Federal Election Interference Case in Washington, D.C. was delayed.

Because this was delayed, the "Pay-offs to a Porn Star" Case in New York could be...

AN "ANONYMOUS" JURY FOR E. JEAN CARROLL v. TRUMP and WHY I LOVE IOWA. The judge in the E. Jean Carroll Case is taking extra security precautions to protect jurors from possible harassment from Trump "Trolls."  We still don't have a Budget, and we will miss another deadline.  And I explain why I love Iowa. 

Ironically, the Iowa Caucuses are falling on the Day we all need to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., A man who fought and died for racial equality and voting rights for all.   All the media attention on Iowa is focused on Republicans. White Republicans. Donald Trump fans.  President Biden changed how the Democratic Party holds its Primary and the Iowa Caucus.  Why? He thought it would be bett...

COLORADO, THE CONSTITUTION, AND TRUMP ON THE BALLOT OR NOT?  The answer to the question is unknown at this moment in time. We know that a Colorado Judge ruled that Trump engaged in an Insurrection. That same judge ruled that he can remain on the ballot. But the case is now going to the Colorado Supreme Court on Appeal.  That hearing will take place on December 6. Whatever is decided there, the fin...
