Trump and taxes: America rewards (wannabe) rich White guys for failing up, but there’s more going on here

We now know what’s behind Trump’s crazy re-election campaign stunts … I need this job / Oh God, I need this / Show. “I Hope I Get It” from Broadway musical, A Chorus Line. President Donald Trump’s tax drama pulls the entire story together for us now: he really, really, really needs his job. I […]

Scientific American — a magazine that endorses no one — endorsed Joe Biden for President

I hope every media outlet is paying attention to this … Earth is traveling through 2020 with smaller mountain ice caps, warmer oceans, a torrid letter run on hurricane names, an American coastline’s slow and inevitable submersion into the Atlantic Ocean, forest infernos that can’t be subdued by dwindling rains, and President Donald Trump picks […]

Attention: the Trump-Biden election will be tight

who thought conquering White supremacy would be easy? National election polls show Vice President Joe Biden holds a 10-point lead over President Donald Trump and CNN calls Biden’s position the steadiest on record — but I don’t yet see a landslide. I quickly crunched polling data in nine battleground states where I compared the 2016 […]

Military Times survey: US soldiers want a new President

Waiting for Trump’s reaction … Four years, three months, and 26 days ago, three pieces of interesting news arrived with a Military Times survey of active American military personnel. First, the soldiers preferred — by a 2-to-1 margin — Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton to be the next US President. Second, 20 percent of the […]

‘You ain’t Black’ Part 3: how Biden can fix the mess he’s made

It’s time for the Presidential hopeful to share and discuss his platform on race — and understand his place in the eyes of the Black electorate. Plus, a rare endorsement from this blog. About four years ago, but without a public endorsement, I categorized the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Presidential race as a question […]

‘You ain’t Black’ Part 2: Biden has been enabled to have enough nerve to say that.

Presumptive Presidential candidate Joe Biden clearly had a problem with coherently discussing a vision for racial equity with Charlamagne tha God. But why? The Vice President’s remarks during yesterday’s appearance on The Breakfast Club can be entered as evidence of a problem he has with holding a serious discussion about race in America. I’ll go […]

‘You ain’t Black’ Part 1: what will you do for Black people — er, what the hell did you just say, Vice President Biden?

Lawd. The Democratic Presidential candidate’s appearance with Charlamagne tha God yesterday has left plenty to unpack — and the “You ain’t Black” comment is the least of them. But I’ll cover that too. Here’s the first of three parts. Joe Biden’s words — spoken and not — speak volumes about the lens he places on […]

The Biden nomination shows that White supremacy has won. Again.

Even if the reigning White Supremacist in Chief has to drone “I’m the greatest President ever” from his political grave to a hypothetical President-elect Joe Biden in January 2021, White supremacy still wins. I’ll start with the premise my axiom that President Donald Trump is either the iconic leader of the modern White supremacy movement, […]

THE ONE QUESTION BIDEN SHOULD HAVE ASKED UAE (WHEN HE APOLOGIZED)

You’ve heard by now that US Vice President Joe Biden publicly stated that members of the Gulf Cooperation Council plus Turkey have been supporting terrorists in these nations’ collective bid to overthrow Syria President Bashar Al-Assad—something many of us have been saying for a while—only to backpedal and offer an apology to Turkey and United Arab Emirates.
