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.

Good Bye Truth


Today, Shep Smith, a 23-year veteran of FOX "News" abruptly resigned his position as one of the last real news anchors and journalists reporting the truth on that channel.

Smith, reportedly left, because he had seen enough. Smith tried every day to report the truth based on the facts, and the FOX "news" audience hated him for it. They would rather listen to the likes of Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Mr. Judge Jeanine Pirro and Laura Ingraham (The real fake news No. 45).

The group I mentioned above might as well be working for North Korean state television, better known as Trump TV. They make up the news, leave key points out and when in doubt say things like "what about Clinton or Obama."

There is no liberal media conspiracy against you! You are the conspiracy. I am SOOOO tired of so-called conservatives playing the victim, or calling liberals godless, while at the same time voting for a man to lead the nation who has done enough to earn three seats in hell.

Lou Dobbs had the audacity to say that Donald Trump will gone down as one of the greatest Presidents ever. Are you kidding me old man? Does he earn that distinction for the Wall he has built, or the children he separated from their families at the border, or is it for the GENOCIDE he greenlighted in Syria. You don't need to take my word for it victims. Lindsey Graham is sponsoring a bill in Congress that will receive 98 votes in the Senate. 98!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Condemning this moron's actions.


I know how you feel Shep! You make the argument based on facts, and the low-information voter screams back at you, "fake news". It is like shoveling s*** against the tide. I, for one, Shep am glad you left. FOX "news" is a joke and you are better than that.

Smith was trying to stay on so some of the Fox audience could get a counter to the Dobbs and Pirro's of the world, and I sure he was hanging on because he loved FOX. After all he was one of the originals dating back to 1996. However, different ideas can not survive in the echo chamber of Fox "News" and thus leaving was the right call.

Here is wishing Shep Smith the best. He is a class act and great news man and JOURNALIST. I graduated from Journalism school, and know a good journalist when I see one.

When Shep is ready, I am sure he will have a job within minutes at any of the real news organizations. Shame on you FOX and Rupert Murdoch for allowing this channel to be commandeered by the Alt-Right.


Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

After 2 days of the Turkish assault on the Syrian Kurds, more than 300 Kurdish fighters are dead and God knows how many civilians have perished.

The clown who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., besides doing nothing for us domestically besides pointing out people's differences and make his base angry, has found a way to take a successful situation in Syria and turn it in to an outright defeat. STUPID!!!!!

The U.S. had found a way to keep a small number of U.S. troops on the ground and the Kurds were fighting the terrorists for us. All we had to do was keep Turkey, led by a thug, at bay while the Kurds did their work. Now, not only will terrorists go free because of the Ignorant Mr. Trump, but we will NEVER be able to get any people in the middle east, or around the world, to trust us or work with us.

This "moron" as Rex Tillerson called Trump has done this before. The U.S. agrees to the Paris Climate accords and he pulls us out. NO better answer by the way. The U.S. negotiates TPP free market agreement in Asia. Dummy Donald pulls us out and instead creates a trade war that is killing American farmers and American consumers, raising the cost on all of us. The U.S. had a nuclear agreement with Iran, scumbag Donald pulls us out and now Iran is increasing their nuclear production.

What is Congress waiting for? Are they waiting for this lose cannon (Trump) to destroy the world?

IMPEACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SYRIAN BETRAYAL

Donald Trump has committed the ultimate act of betrayal of the United States and needs to be removed yesterday. This non-sensical buffoon, who has NEVER read an intelligence briefing or report, decided unilaterally and abruptly to remove the small number of U.S. troops from Syria, and in the process completely destabilized the region.

REMEMBER, this is why General James Mattis resigned his post as Secretary of State in protest. The distinguished veteran resigned after Trump threatened to do this the first time.

Yesterday, Turkey decided, predictably, to move into northern Syria and began what will amount to a genocide of the Kurds (our allies) who helped us fight ISIS successfully. That's correct. The President of the United States is looking the other way as the Turks, led by another dictator, begin an ethnic cleansing of the Kurds. GROSS!!!!!!

Secondly, with the Kurds being slaughtered, and having to defend themselves against this threat, the ISIS terrorists they were holding, are now free to resume their horrific activities. The President who once claimed that President Obama was the "founder of ISIS", is now letting more 10,000 terrorists free. DESPICABLE!!!!!!

EVEN Lindsay Graham, who has been the ultimate sycophant for this uninformed dolt in the White House, among other Republicans came out to thrash the Trump administration for this move. Hey Lindsay, where have you been? You created this monster by allowing him to getting away with murder time and time again, and now you have blood on your hands. The fact of the matter is the blood of our allied Kurds are now on the hands of the Trump collaborators.

If the Republican Party had called out this monster early on when he was ripping babies from their mother's hands at the border, or when he was attacking gold-star families, or when he was forming a love affair with Putin or Kim Jong-Un, maybe we could have stopped this monster.  

TRUMP IS A JOKE and always has been. It was funny, I guess, to some people when he was claiming that anyone who didn't support his criminal activity was committing treason, or funny when he said he had fallen in love with Kim Jong-Un. None of which is actually funny. However, this for me is the final straw. This man needs to be removed immediately because he is a dangerous and reckless individual.

The most disturbing part of this is that he is willing to sacrifice human lives in order to distract the public from his criminal activity, the activity for which he will be impeached. This move in Syria might well be a tactic to get the public to look over there and don't look here where all the criminal activity is.

I do not recognize this America. SHAME on us as a nation if we don't act to defend our allies and our constitution which is losing more and more meaning with each passing hour.

SHAME ON YOU Climate Deniers

It took a 16-year-old from Sweden and other youngsters like her to push the governments of the world and this week's UN Summit to finally start paying some sort of attention to the global crisis that faces humanity. I fear these so called leaders will continue to do nothing as the climate spirals out of control. 

The current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, despite Greta's emotional plea for change on the environment, couldn't be bothered to stay more than 15 minutes. What a sorry excuse for a leader he is. President Obama met with Greta and started taking steps to reduce America's climate footprint, and Trump has since backed out or reversed all those positive steps. He pulled the United States out of the Paris Accords and overturned all the regulations that Obama put in place to protect the environment. 

As recently as last week, No. 45 (the Dumpster fire that is Donald J. Trump), decided that California could no longer have high standards for CO2 emissions. Republicans use to be in favor of states' rights. In fact, they still would perpetuate the myth and have us believe that they are in favor of states' rights, except when it comes to things that they don't like. 

For example, they will tell you it is each individual states' right to decide on abortion, not the Federal government, or that it's each states' right to decide on gun regulation, not the Federal government, or they would tell you that it's each states' right to choose their own health care laws, not the Federal government, but in this case, when their greed is so pronounced, they would have you believe that each state does not have the right to choose on climate regulations for their respective state. 

It is you, Mitch McConnell, and you, Kevin McCarthy, and you, Dumpster fire, that Greta and those of her generation will never forgive for their blatent inaction. SHAME on all of you!
