    Watching President Obama and Vice President go on a food run is a thing of beauty and pure joy. Who isn’t smiling right now just at the sight of them? I thought it was interesting that they had “a ton of secret service officials” with them. I believe that’s the case because they are still the only legitimate president and vice president we have.

      I envision that many wealthy AA celebrities will do this in the future. Education is the key. Now that government is practically funding public schools more AA should open charter schools if the local public school is not performing.

          As a retired public school elementary teacher I saw that Charter Schools run through public school districts that were part of the public schools instead of privately run outside the public ones can succeed. They compliment the district programs enhancing the concept of creating student motivation instead of robbing the funding from the public schools. There are models that incorporate extra motivational classes that enhance instruction without being totally separated also.

      Another thing about the press… I am watching record breaking temperatures around the world, fire storms and drought. Our earth is crying out as it heats up. Where are the head lines with graphic pictures that are on the from page stating “This is What Climate Change Looks Like”!

      Also..everyday with Trump and his co-treasonous groupies, the press should have on the front page:
      “This is Not Normal.” But they don’t and climate change, the destruction of Democracy becomes normalized.

      Heard today that Manafort actually has about four trials coming up, which I’d forgotten, and - when found guilty - would obviously spend the rest of his life in prison, due to his current age. Hope he cuts a deal big time and flips on trump, but we can’t count on it.

      When I was at the VA Med Center here in Baltimore yesterday- Trump came on giving a speech, there were a few groans including from me- because I literally can’t listen to him. So I asked the room of people if anyone wanted to hear him- no one said yes. I went up to the reception desk & asked if they’d please change the channel to anything but him when I told them who “him” was they were more than happy to switch channels :). The guy most angry at him (besides moi) said he was active duty with one day left to serve and was so damn glad to be out after this “commander in chief” was busy effing things up.

    A Gem from the Liberal Librairian

    What we’re seeing in the reaction to Trump is a nation reawakening to those ideals. Reawakening to the idea—no, the certainty—that those ideals are worth living for, fighting for, and, if necessary, dying for. (Rest in peace, Heather Heyer.) We will not go gentle into that good night. We will rage, rage, against the dying of the light. And we will triumph. Not because we are superior as individuals. But because that for which we fight is superior to what our enemies fight for. We fight for love, they for hate. We fight for freedom, they for tyranny. We fight for a world in which all are created equal, they for one in which they are privileged. Those who fight to save life will always win over those who seek to destroy it, for we have the more motivation.

    The American Empire is at an end. It will be hard going to convince the world, after we rid ourselves of Trump and his millions of enablers, that we can ever be trusted again. That will be the work of my generation and the one after mine. The empire may be at an end, but the Republic will live on. It will be one which is more humble, more cognizant of its limitations. For a few years it devolved into a dark place. But it is resilient, and, no longer being the hegemon, it can exert an influence beyond that of empire. It can exert an influence as an example, of a people who sank and then redeemed themselves.

    https://www.gregpalast.com/georgias-brian-kemp-responsible-for-massive-purge-of-states-voter-rolls/

    Yesterday, the GOP’s Brian Kemp won the Georgia gubernatorial primary. It is not coincidental that this same Kemp, as Secretary of State, removed 591,548 names from the state’s voter rolls in 2017. We expect another big purge in the next few weeks.

    The Palast Investigative Fund has given Kemp, currently Secretary of State, 40 days to provide every name of those removed — or Kemp will face a federal lawsuit. Our initial investigation indicates the list is overloaded with voters of color and young voters, i.e. Democrats.

    Kemp will face Stacey Abrams in November for the governor’s seat. Abrams told me she fears this ethnic cleansing of voter rolls especially because it is partly directed by Kris Kobach of Kansas.

    I was sure that Manafort was going to flip after he was presented with everything that Mueller had on him. I’m sure Mueller offered him an out, and still Manafort didn’t take it. Manafort is taking this as far as it can go, he’s in for the long haul. And spending the rest of his life in prison does not bother him. If Manafort is found guilty, he will probably go out on his own terms.
