I have worked all over the world with and for people of many different races, skin colors, and languages. Let me tell you, the vast majority are just normal, kind, generous people just like you and me. So, let’s just remove ALL references to race, gender, language, sexual preference from every bit of our lives.
If we don’t discriminate between people, and we make no attempt to classify them, then there can never be any discrimination!
Trump continues to keep his finger on the Scales of Justice
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.’s ongoing struggle to assure Americans that “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges.”
CNN: President Donald Trump’s decision to commute the sentence of longtime political confidant Roger Stone late Friday night (July 10, 2020) drew the usual outrage from Democrats and silence from Republicans — yet another norm busted by a man who seems to revel in doing things that no one who has held the job in the past would even consider.
“There is one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance”
Education is the best hope for a democracy. A population which understands the traits needed in a leader knows the difference between a con artist and a legitimate leader, and knows which path forward to take is the difference between an effective democracy and Socrates’ nightmare. While in our democracy the typical voter doesn’t need to worry about being placed in a position of power by lottery, they do need to understand enough to select the right person to have in power in their stead.

Cartoonist Thomas Nast used the Democratic donkey in newspaper cartoons and made the symbol famous. Later, Nast invented another famous symbol—the Republican elephant.
Wednesday, the president said that Mr. Flynn had “been treated very, very unfairly by the media,” undercut by “documents and papers that were illegally—I’d stress that, illegally—leaked.”
Is Trump implying that it is only illegal if you get caught?

I am not a fan of the Kardashians but Kim’s post was brilliant! Trump wants to protect us from the two deaths by spending millions of dollars and creating untold conflict and anguish. And yet, he ignores the 11,767 deaths (unless they are in Chicago) because of the support he receives from the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Trump’s administration promises:
