Joe Biden’s Bribe of Americans.

Regardless of the outcome of the student debt relief case at the Supreme Court, it is clear that politicians prioritize votes and power over the American people. They will use shiny ideals and bribes to manipulate the electorate and secure their votes. This is a fundamental flaw in our political system and must be addressed to ensure that the interests of the people are truly represented.

DC Politics: Qatar is the best supporting actor for U.S. in Arabian Gulf.

Qatar’s culture frowns on public displays of LGBT orientations or enthusiasms as do many nations. FIFA knew that in choosing Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup. Attendees know in advance that publicly exhibiting LGBT membership risks legal consequences. When in Rome, do as the Romans do is a time-honored courtesy expected of visitors in foreign lands.

The United States would be well advised to anchor its Middle East strategy to Qatar

DC Politics: An Executive Order for Reparations.

People who care about national reparations should reach out to their Congress members, especially the White House, to encourage President Biden to sign an executive order.   We must also thank Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for her efforts.  Callie House was not the first person to take the reparations struggle to the courts, and the struggle continues.  President Biden can move the struggle forward with a supportive executive order.

Former President Donald Trump’s Political Death Wish.

The second thing the post revealed, again, is that Trump has no problem being seen as a poor loser. That’s not an image Americans usually like. If someone loses, and especially if they are somehow screwed in the process, Americans are sympathetic, especially if the person takes the loss, doesn’t complain and goes back to work.

Joe Biden is Right, the Pandemic is Over.

This vaccine mandate is creating a crisis that is impacting the ability of our Governors to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. In their letter to congressional leaders, the Governors advocated a clear solution to the crisis, writing, “it is your duty to provide for the national defense, and therefore, we call upon you to protect the men and women in uniform—who protect us—from an unnecessary vaccine mandate.” They ended the letter by quoting from President Biden, “The pandemic is over.”

2022: Tis The Season For Food Justice.

The hunger issue is real, and so is the search for healthy, fresh food. Some call inner cities “food desserts,” but others describe them as “food swamps” because plenty of unhealthy food is available. What kind of system makes it easier to find grease and sugar than fresh produce? What makes the grease more profitable than the greens?

How Former Mayor Eric Garcetti will be Remembered.

Garcetti walked the tightrope again on this one. He publicly had soothing words for BLM about police abuse and even hinted that he would explore cuts in the LAPD’s budget. However, when the dust cleared the LAPD as usual got every penny it asked for and then some. Whether that could be chalked up as a success or failure for Garcetti was subject to interpretation. However, it was clear Garcetti would not be remembered by police reform advocates as their champion.

2022: The Time is Now for Increasing Diversity in American Media Ownership.

The multimedia publishing and communications industry is a trillion-dollar business sector in America. Yet the disparities and inequities of ownership of media industry businesses by persons of color remains glaringly inequitable.

Politics: How We Can Influence the Courts That Influence Our Lives?

Courts are going to keep showing us how much of an impact they have on our lives. We need to exercise every option we have to impact who sits on them.

What Former Football Player Herschel Walker’s Candidacy Means To Black America.

So, when we talk about what Herschel Walker’s campaign means to the political empowerment of Black folks in America, it really isn’t about Herschel at all. It’s about what he represents.
