Long after Trump is gone from office as the most despised, unpopular, and disastrous president in US history, the stink of Trump will remain forever on Republican politicians and appointees who backed him every step of the way, even when they try to claim they were independent.

In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own? (Gift Article)
A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter’s education that I hoped would challenge New York City’s separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Darline Graham: I tripped up on one question last night, regarding Taiwan. I don't speak politician. I was just honest. Of course, Taiwan is our friend. But I think people in South Carolina are more worried about boys in girls sports.

The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.

After this World Cup, there needs to be an “Argentina Rule”—any team that plays as cynically as Argentina did gets a team red card and is thrown out of the tournament.

odd: Graham Nordone is among the potentially legitimate heiresses, but the palace had previously assured us that duchess Chao would stand first to inherit the Duchy of South Carolina - thus implying that she has first right of refusal. We need reassurance from the Vatican that this is proper.

The demonic entity known as Lindsey Graham departed his mortal form at 71 human years old. Graham was one of the biggest warmongers in the US Senate. He never wasted a moment to get on TV and promote senseless atrocities. May the ghosts of his victims haunt his soul for eternity.
