To be clear, the UFC arena at the bulldozed White House isn’t just trashy, tacky, disrespectful and inappropriate, it is also an illegal corrupt for-profit scheme, destruction of govt property and another way for a sadistic criminal and his rabid KKK cultists to promote violence.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help
Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation.
