Trump in Detroit Calls for a New ‘Civil Rights Agenda’

Helping Trump Isn’t Easy (Guest Voice)
Helping Trump Isn't Easy by Michael Reagan Donald Trump actually looked like a statesman in Mexico City Wednesday afternoon. It didn't matter what he and the president of Mexico talked about. It didn't even matter if they made a secret handshake deal to split the cost of building the great Wall of Trump. For the first time in his long campaign, Trump actually … [Read more...] about Helping Trump Isn’t Easy (Guest Voice)

Thursday night one of the Latino organizers supporting Donald Trump appeared on MSNBC and warned the United States that his culture was dominant and if Trump is not elected there will be “taco trucks on every corner.” While he stereotyped his race and culture with his self loathing, most Americans rejoiced and celebrated the idea of a taco truck on every corner. Wouldn’t … [Read more...] about Cartoon: Tacos on every corner
Star Spangled Nonsense
Lately, Americans have been treated to nonsense pertaining to The Star Spangled Banner. In a commentary published by The Intercept, former Michael Moore associate Jon Schwarz writes, "Almost no one seems to be aware that even if the U.S. were a perfect country today, it would be bizarre to expect African-American players to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Why? … [Read more...] about Star Spangled Nonsense

This Is Our Story and We’re Sticking to It
Paul Glastris asks why the media isn't responding to what its own investigations of the Clinton Foundation have turned up in Washington Monthly. Over the last two weeks, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has taken a hit in the polls, much of it pretty clearly due to aggressive press investigations involving her relationship with the Clinton Foundation when she was Secretary of State. … [Read more...] about This Is Our Story and We’re Sticking to It
President’s reply to my post “As an American Muslim.”
Thank you for writing. There is no denying that even with the significant progress we have made as a country over the past several decades, painful aspects of our Nation’s history continue to cast a long shadow with regard to race relations and our communities. Important work still lies ahead, and we all have roles to play. Too many communities continue to battle chronic … [Read more...] about President’s reply to my post “As an American Muslim.”
The Spoils System – Like Apple Pie
An interesting piece ran in today’s New York Times. Richard Painter, the former chief Ethics Lawyer for George W. Bush and a former University of Minnesota law professor, wrote that Hillary Clinton has not violated any law in her dealings with the State Department and the Clinton Foundation. Let’s have that again: Hillary Clinton has not violated any federal ethics law. None. … [Read more...] about The Spoils System – Like Apple Pie

NFL player Kaepernick who sat down during national anthem is a loser
It’s been a few days since Colin Kaepernick, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, refused to stand up during the pre-game rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner.” During those few moments of his ill-advised and publicity-driven stunt, he nonetheless netted more salary than most Americans manage to earn in a year of labor and hard work at real jobs. He should sit down … [Read more...] about NFL player Kaepernick who sat down during national anthem is a loser
Great Wall of Trump
The Great Wall that Donald Trump wants built across the USA's southern border is idealistic. It would be reasonable to ask if such a Great Wall would be feasible. Let's start with the length that Trump's Great Wall would have to be. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the USA has 1,989 miles of border with Mexico. Then there is the climate that the … [Read more...] about Great Wall of Trump

Trump can’t ‘soften’ bigotry
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump's diatribe on immigration Wednesday night dispelled any conceivable doubt: He is a dangerous demagogue who rejects the values of openness and inclusion that made this country great. Rarely has an American politician given such an un-American speech. Foreigners who come here seeking a better life are the scapegoats he blames for problems real … [Read more...] about Trump can’t ‘soften’ bigotry

Making America Gated Again: Trump on Deportation
Donald Trump announced his plan for deportation of undocumented immigrants and greater restrictions on immigration. By these means, Trump plans to turn America into one enormous gated community. Unless I miss my guess, tonight Donald Trump was off-script and off his meds. He took time from campaigning in states he has no chance to carry, such as Maine and Washington, to make an … [Read more...] about Making America Gated Again: Trump on Deportation
Analysis: In immigration speech, Donald Trump spurns softened tone and threatens Republican future
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's aggressively tough speech on immigration buried the notion that he planned to pivot away from the posture that got him the Republican nomination to a gentler position tailored for more moderate general election voters, Republicans included. It also may have buried his party's strategy for long-term survival — the effort to appeal… … [Read more...] about Analysis: In immigration speech, Donald Trump spurns softened tone and threatens Republican future
Cartoon: SITTING WITH KAEPERNICK
A few days ago the Green Bay Packers played the San Francisco 49ers in a preseason game. Do you remember the score? Do you even know who won? I bet you know about Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for the national anthem. I was never a fan of Kaepernick. I thought he was overrated and time would eventually expose that he couldn’t play in the NFL. I was … [Read more...] about Cartoon: SITTING WITH KAEPERNICK
