Take a minute to appreciate how deep the bench of talent was in the cast of the INDIAN SUMMER (1993).

Best definition of Trump’s racism
"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

Yesterday, I was wet-eyed (obvi) on the Metro, wearing my Post beanie (obvi), and a woman, a stranger, leaned over and hugged me.

Which is to say: The entire city understands the scope of this devastating tragedy… www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
