WSJ published a crazy story about Trump today. I think there’s more to come.

As someone who spent 16 years in the media, 8 years as an elected leader for my Tribe, 10 years as a tribal administrator, and 5 years as a consultant, I can say that no one should accept a half a billion-dollar gift from a foreign country and expect it not to be a quid pro quo.

Another bad sign ensuring worse things to come; my wife (who works in domestic violence and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives) just told me the DOJ is terminating all DV grants and services. I really feel for all our people who rely upon the services these programs provide to Indian country.

Now ask the question who is hiring all of these illegals in the US? If you're all about law and order, shouldn't we be rounding up a few of them too?

I was in NYC this week for business, sitting in a nice steakhouse Wednesday night, you would never know the stock market lost $6 Trillion in value the day before. Everyone seemed in a good mood. Guess the bond market overnight caused Trump to pause the tariffs, and the market rallied the next day.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

I was glad to read today that DC law firm Jenner Block refused to comply with the recent Executive Order excluding them from getting any work from the Federal government. In fact, they sued the government over this EO. They worked on the Mueller Report, and they're being punished. Indian country

Just finished my op-ed for the Tulsa World describing the impacts these cuts in federal funding and the erasing of Native American history off federal websites is doing to our communities. It was gut wrenching to write. I'll let you all know when or if they decide to publish it

Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% in support of what AOC and Bernie Sanders are doing, my concern is branding these rallies with the word, Oligarchy. The plumber in Toledo or the pipefitter in East Texas probably won't bother to look up the word to know what these rallies are about.

At a time when it was official Federal policy to erase Native languages thru its failed assimilation policies, these brave solders used their language to create a code the Germans and Japanese couldn't break. This DEI program helped us win WWII.

Here's a question we don't talk about enough; if we get rid of DEI, what are we going to replace it with? And meritocracy is not the answer because there are plenty of minorities, people of color, different religions, and other marginalized communities who excel in their work and accomplishments.

If these guys were in charge back in WWI and WWII, there probably would not have been Native Code Talkers. This woke DEI initiative was well documented, the code talkers saved thousands of lives because the enemy couldn't understand the Indigenous language and the code they spoke it in.
