Racists please apply here for a job at the White House

Here is a shocker, Stephen Miller - a senior advisor to the President - is a racist. I guess it is not that surprising given the fact that the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is a raging bigot himself. Why wouldn't he surround himself with an openly White Nationalists like Stephen Miller.

Open-minded people have always known Miller was a racist white nationalist, but additional proof has surfaced recently according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In 2015, while working for Senator Jeff Sessions from Alabama, and in 2016, while working on the Trump Campaign, Miller exchanged over 900 emails with Breitbart "News" - an Alt-right website that traffics in conspiracies and hate. In these exchanges with Breitbart editor at the time, Katie McHugh, Miller encouraged Breitbart to use White Supremacist websites to draw from for their "news" coverage. Miller referenced popular White Nationalist websites, and books as his evidence as to why the OTHERS must be kept from coming to the United States.

Katie McHugh, who worked for Breitbart from 2014 to 2017, was fired by Breitbart and decided to renounce the alt right movement and released the emails to the Southern Poverty Law Center. 

SPLC article about Miller

Miller is the architect of the Trump policies at the border like the separation of children from their parents at the border as a deterrent to prevent future LEGAL asylum seekers from coming to the U.S. This racist has spent countless millions of dollars caging children at the border and their parents separately instead of allowing them to work here and contribute into the system until their asylum hearings. Beyond being wildly racist, this policy is fiscally stupid. Another example of a party that claims to be fiscally conservative, spending ungodly amounts of tax payer money recklessly.

Miller is not only trying to curb what he calls illegal immigration, but being a racist, he is also trying to curb legal immigration from countries he thinks undesirables come from. He wants to prevent all non-whites from coming to the United States, which by definition makes him a racist. He wants to prevent their admittance into the United States strictly based on the color of their skin and religious affiliation, which violates the U.S. Constitution in countless ways.

Miller further wants to violate all current existing immigration laws. For example he wants and has currently put an end to temporary protected status which was passed by George W. Bush. The Bush-era policy made it ok to give protective temporary status to people fleeing disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes. Miller and his puppet Dumb Donald most recently prevented Bahama refugees from coming to the United States after a hurricane devastated the islands - you know - because they are black. They also ended protective status for Haitian refugees who were here following the Haiti earthquake, you know because they are black, and on and on and on.  

The White House as usual has lied about this fiasco, and called the SPLC a smear organization when in fact they just provide statistics often provided by the FBI and other government organizations. The SPLC also fights hate, teaches tolerance, exposes hate groups and seeks justice for all people. Again, another example of the most dishonest White House in the history of America like no one has ever seen before - to steal a term from the current resident of 1600 resident at Pennsylvania Ave.

If you are a Trump voter and feeling like I am attacking you personally, don't. I do not believe all Trump voters are racists or bigots - although clearly some are - but you need to come to the realization that you voted for one, and that he brought all his bigoted friends with him to the White House. Make America Racist Again. Maybe we can put MARA on a hat and everyone can wear that for 2020 while we all goosestep through Washington D.C.

GOP hypocrits

For the better part of my 43 years on this planet, the GOP has been the party of hardcore foreign policy hawks who were anti-Russia and anti-Iraq and -Iran and anti-communist China and North Korea. That has been the case dating back to Ronald Reagan, whose tough stances on communism helped bring down the former Soviet Union, and who played a critical role in freeing American hostages from Iran.

I have heard for years the likes of John McCain, whom until his dying day I harbored a great deal of respect for, push back against the former and current communist states. McCain's "friend" Lindsey Graham also appeared to be one of those hawks, as were most of the Republicans.

My how times have changed.

Lindsey Graham has become a puppet for Vladimir Putin, allowing the illiterate moron in the White House to make maneuver after maneuver that has helped the likes of Putin, Assad in Syria, Erdogan in Turkey and the North Korean dictator among others. Despite these horrific moves by 45, Graham has done little more than occasionally admonish Dumb Donald. Very ineffectual Lindsey!!!

If it was just Graham, than I could offer the party a slight pass, but he is not alone. In fact, Moscow Mitch McConnell has allowed a communist company to invest money $200 million in his home state of Kentucky. Low-information Congressmen like Jim Jordan (Ohio) and Devin Nunes (California) - both soulless men - have both carried the water for Trump, and by extension Putin and sold out our Kurdish allies. The next terrorist attack is on you fellas.


Lets review, these men are offering the criminal in the White House a pass for holding back defense money for the Ukraine. That money was being used to fight off the Russians, who are currently warring with Ukraine. That sentence, because it is true, makes both Ronald Reagan and Charlie Wilson rollover in their graves.


Remember Charlie Wilson was a GOP Congressmen who helped appropriate ungodly sums of money for Afghani rebels in the 1980s to help fight the soviets, who at the time were invading Afghanistan.

These same soulless men have allowed Erdogan to invade Syria and commence a genocide of our Kurdish allies. Trump, did I mention he is a criminal, has tons of business interests in Turkey, said nothing as Erdogan decided to "clean out" the Kurds from northern Syria. And of course the GOP, after some minimal grumbling, has allowed Turkey to go unpunished. And for those of you who think sanctions on Turkey are enough, you would be wrong, because it has not slow Erdogan in the slightest.

What has happened to the GOP is SICK and TWISTED. I have never seen 250 white men cower to one man like this since Nuremburg. The Republicans, in fear of losing their House and Senate seats, will back a buffoon who has no idea what he is doing, and will sell out American foreign policy. No seat in Congress is worth selling out your principals and soul for.

So the next time you hear some Republican somewhere making the case that they will maintain the legacy of the great Ronald Reagan or George HW Bush or John McCain, remember, it's just a corny line they are feeding you to steal your vote.

End of DACA?

The Supreme Court heard arguments this week that could put an end to DACA (Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals) and some believe that the Trump and the GOP, who spent the last three years packing the courts and very little else, might even win this case. How Tragic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, this would be a huge betrayal of these young people. When Barack Obama instituted this program through executive order in 2012, he and the United States government issued a call for these young people, who came here as children through no fault of their own, to come out of the shadows and in good faith register with the U.S. government and in return they could go to school and work and contribute to the system. The promise was that if they kept their nose clean, they would not be deported.

It must have been hard for these 790,000 youngsters to do that, but they did so assuming that the US government would honor its word. However, they could not have anticipated was that a lying sociopathy like Donald Trump would ever be elected by America's low-information voters - FOX viewers and Rush Limbaugh-listeners, and thus upend the program.

Let's face it, these young people did go to school and work and created businesses, and now some are employers themselves. Dreamers contribute $42 billion each year to GDP, contribute $1.7 billion in state taxes and $1.4 billion in federal taxes. If they were deported, you can eliminate that revenue and it would also cost remaining taxpayers $10 billion to remove them.

The Supreme Court, despite being tainted by Moscow Mitch McConnell, must do the right thing here, and if they fail to do so, Congress must pass legislation to protect these Dreamers, which 86 percent of Americans agree with. They are good for the country, as are most immigrants, and it would be a monumental betrayal to deport them. The Democrats in the House of Representatives have passed H.R. 6 which would protect the dreamers permanently, but McConnell failed to put it to a vote in the Senate.

I know I say this a lot these days, but I have never felt more ashamed of my country than I do right now. I ask the Supreme Court to please restore order to this Trump-infected and diseased land.
