Why Are We Separating Children from their Families?

Separating children from families is not a new atrocity. Other countries have done it, Russia, Cambodia, Germany under Hitler, and yes, even here. The United States Government allowed slave owners to tear families apart. And the US ripped Native American children from their parents and placed them in boarding schools. There they were abused, and many were killed, according to a Department of Interior report. 

Recently, then-President Donald Trump ordered the separation of thousands of immigrant children at the U.S.-Mexican border. And during his phony Town Hall on CNN, he said he would do it again. 

When minor immigrant children are found in the United States unaccompanied by a legal parent, the U.S. government places them in temporary housing before they are placed with American sponsors. 

The New York Times published an investigative story documenting that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has lost track of 85,000 Migrant Children. 

That story documents the abuse some Migrant Children are enduring. 

This is the first of many stories I will write as we head into the Presidential Election. 

Separating Children from their Families is one reason I will vote for President Joe Biden. We need immigration reform. And we must work together to stop Human Rights violations. 

  

Trump Lies - And the Death of a Cable Network

Trump Lies - And the Death of a Cable Network

Trump Lies - And the Death of a Cable Network is a sad story about a Dethroned King who has become a Court Jester.

The once powerful man is now a joke, but he is also dangerous because, beneath his costume, there lurks a heart as dark as the devil's soul. 

His power to entice and destroy puts the entire kingdom in peril. Instead of banishing the evil entity, those in power let him continue entertaining. 

He takes center stage each night, to the delight of a few of with the most control. 

In the end, all perished. But the ones who suffer the most are those that worked to return the evil king to power. 

I'm trying to have a little fun here. Because listening to Trump and watching his Republican followers laugh and clap when he makes a joke of "sexual assault" is difficult and depressing.

What are we going to tell our children about that?

As for CNN, it's ratings plunge will continue. Here's why. Young digital consumers do NOT watch Cable News. Not that CNN is a news network anymore. 

 

E. Jean Carroll Wins Her Name Back - Trump Found Liable

E.Jean Carroll Wins Her Name Back - Trump Found Liable for Sexual Assault and Defamation.

After only four hours of deliberation, a Manhattan jury in New York found former President Donald J. Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.

The jury of six men and three women awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.

The jury dismissed the rape charge. I explain. 

Warning: there are some sexually explicit descriptions in this episode of Political Woman. 

 

Ignore Opinion and Political Polls - Just VOTE!

A new Washington Post - ABC News Political Survey or Opinion Poll includes bad News for President Joe Biden. BUT!!! And it's a big BUT! The poll is worthless. 

First, it is too earlier in the presidential election cycle to matter. The election is more than 18 months away. 

And more importantly, less than one thousand registered votes were questioned. And of those who are registered, there were more people who Lean Republican than Lean Democrat. Not a good sampling. 

It is good for only one thing. It allows me to remind all of you to "IGNORE POLLS!" And Vote.

The deposition is classic Donald Trump - he boasts, he insults and yes, he is caught in lies.

I will post the outcome on TikTok and my other social media sites. Please follow and subscribe.

E. Jean Carroll Testifies: Donald Trump’s Rape and Defamation Trial

Writer E. Jean Carroll spent two days on the witness stand in a Federal Court House in New York this past week. The civil case does not mandate that the accused, Donald Trump, be present during the trial. But he did post comments on social media.

Carroll has accused the former president of rape and defamation. Trump has denied all charges. 

This follow-up episode focuses on the trial and Carroll's two days on the witness stand.

Don Lemon - Tucker Carlson Fired! Why We Should Care

On Monday, April 24, Two Cable TV Personalities were Fired. Don Lemon worked for CNN. Tucker Carlson worked for Fox Corp. It appears it was just a coincidence that the two high-profile television talents were axed on the same day, just about an hour apart. 

As different as they are, a similar thread runs through their careers. And how they acted is a lesson for everybody who communicates. That's all of us.
