You must remember this... a kiss is still a kiss...












What a joy to have had this President and First Lady grace our White House and serve all the people of this nation with honor and respect.

Thank you.



You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

Breaking News: First words about Epstein's arrest.

Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton.


-26 trips with Epstein.

-He attended Chelsea's wedding.

-He donated to the Clinton Foundation.

-Co-founder of the Clinton Foundation.

-They were friends.

Nary a word about Epstein or Trump. Hair on fire ready to do a remake of Pizzagate. This will be the sequel. Pizzagate2. The hatred of the Clinton's never ends.




This place is unfugging believable.

How times have changed

It has been 243 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Britain. Britain is now seeking independence from the European Union and the United States is cuddling up to dictators and caging children.

The United States of America has become what we broke away from in 1776, a cruel "Christian" nation.




I suggest we all take a break this holiday weekend to celebrate the good that is still America -- our natural wonders, our families, and the Declaration of Independence which is still in effect.

In other words, be as Trump-free as possible. You deserve it.

We now know, beyond a shadow of doubt...

That God is indeed a woman. Vengeance is mine. Let it rain on his charade.

America the Beautiful, America the Cruel

The Fourth of July, or the Fourth of You Lie as we black folks like to call it, is here again. And we’ll be inundated with bold-faced lies about American exceptionalism. You’ll hear it from television commentators. From politicians. From dudes wearing a red, white and blue t-shirt…made in China.

They’ll talk about how we’re a country that believes in democracy, just as the United States Supreme Court decided last week to allow partisan gerrymandering to disempower minorities. Commentators will spout platitudes about the wisdom of the so-called Founding Fathers, even as they all benefited from creating a white supremacist society built on the backs of black men and women.

But the most egregious thing you’ll hear while scarfing down ribs and non-Becky prepared potato salad? That we’re better than what’s happening under the Trump administration. That Trump doesn’t represent the true America. That this current time is an aberration and abnormal. And to that, I say one word…

Bullshit.

This is not to say that America doesn’t do good things. We do. There’s a long list of good things we do, and I’m not gonna waste good column space recounting them. But it’s also important to note that America’s side hustle has always been cruelty, and when it comes to cruelty on this July 4, business is good in the hood.

As we celebrate our founding, never forget that desperate Honduran, Guatemalan and El Salvadorian undocumented immigrants who yearn to be free from the violence and economic depravity in their own lands, are being held in cages. By America. The same America that once held enslaved Africans in cages.

Well worth the read. Our past and our present.

" I love what this country called American can be, just not what it is right now. And right now, it’s more America the Cruel than America the Beautiful. And that’s nothing to celebrate."

Trumps use of this military parade reminds me of Ferguson.

This charade of a parade is about fear, intimidation, threats to anyone different. He is a dictator wanna be and is trying to show us all how big he wishes his d**k was.

Remember Ferguson? I do. If you don't watch the video at the link.

Why Ferguson, Mo., looked like a war zone this week

For several nights this week, tanks, combat gear and assault rifles were seen in Ferguson, Missouri.

It looked like a military operation ion one of the most dangerous war ziones.. That's because police departments in the St. Louis area -- like those across the country -- are arming their officers with equipment once on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Much of it is free of charge or bought with federal grant money authorized by Congress, CBS News' Jan Crawford reports.

In the past year, the Department of Defense has given local law enforcement over 600 MRAPs, the armored vehicles designed to withstand roadside bombs. Texas alone has received 68, Florida 45.

snip

The Pentagon program has given departments over $5 billion worth of surplus equipment since the program launched in 1991: helicopters, firearms, protective gear, night vision, even computers and camouflage clothing.

The local police also get federal grant money to buy the military-style equipment.

Many police departments already own this military gear. tRump is giving them the nod to use it against all enemies. Those enemies are not foreign terrorists, they will be black and brown people. They will be gay, Native American, Jewish, and Asian. They will come for the women as well.

Fact is none of this might and fright will be use against any white man. Not the Bundys. Not the neo nazis that murdered a woman in Charlottesville because of course they are really fine people.

No 4th celebration for me again this year. Nothing to celebrate here. Nothing.

A message to tRump and Mellie from Abraham.



...and your three children too.
