HOMEWORK 09-28-17 ~ TRUMPS KATRINA
So I wondered how America was able to supply our Viet Nam soldiers who were fighting in rice paddies, thick jungles, hillsides, and mountaintops. Turns out our military has the most amazing logistical command. Puerto Rico will be very surprised by this news. Nothing is getting to the people there. Could it be because in the Presidential Primary they voted for “Little Marco” in huge numbers? Could it be because they are brown? Trump will wish he was nicer, or at least competent because there is going to be an influx of American citizens who can vote, most likely to Florida, the “swingiest swing state” we have. Too bad for the GOP.
Trump threw a 9-page “framework” for Tax Cuts out there. It raises the bottom rate from 10% to 12%, lowers taxes for people over $400,000 and slashes the Corporate rate from 35% to 20%. It costs $20 Trillion which will be added to the Debt.
Colin Kaepernick won the first battle in the war against a rigged Justice System. Keep it up!

HOMEWORK 09-27-17 ~ THE LAST THROES OF THE INSURGENCY
White America is in the last throes of the insurgency. Soon they will be a minority in the United States. Their guilt and fear has turned them into desperate creatures. Our leaders have begun to look to White Nationalist foreign governments to preserve their system of inequality. They will, very soon, wish they had been nicer to people.
Progressives must cope and deal with this. Until we recognize what’s eating at the White Nationalist crowd we can’t move forward. No justice, no policy. Justice and equality are entry-level politics.
We are a young country that will experience many changes as long as we endure, but without a solid foundation, our house will crumble. This is what we believe:
We the People of the United States, will form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

HOMEWORK 09-26-17 ~ CRACKERED UP
There’s a crazy primary race in Alabama today. Of course, in Alabama, there’s only one race, WHITE. Call it a race to the bottom, again or what is really is, the race war. Republicans in Alabama truly deserve disgraced Judge Roy Moore. Too bad that the rest of us would be stuck with him too if he were in the Senate.
Trump’s speech in Huntsville has united the country, in protest! But while Trump is busy fighting professional athletes, people in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are fighting to survive. But then, Trump’s disaster attention span ran out weeks ago. If we could just get all the planes that had been used to ferry Tom Price and Steve Mnuchin around to take supplies to Puerto Rico, they might be OK.
Ding Dong, repeal and replace is dead. Long live PROTESTORS!

President Dotard has made sports his new battlefield. He will lose.
Donald “chickenhawk” Trump and his Trumpanzees apparently don’t understand patriotism. Patriotism isn’t a flag or a song. It’s fighting for a country on foreign soil even when here at home, in your own state or county, you wouldn’t be permitted to sit at a lunch counter. It’s putting your body on the line even when you were not permitted to vote. It’s righting your country when it’s wrong. Not accepting that is to remain ignorant about why America exists.
America is the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Being young and black in America requires bravery every day. The questions to ask are why in 21st Century America is that a requirement, and why doesn’t our President get it?
African Americans and decent people of all races, religions, and creeds know this. African Americans have fought in every American war going back to the Revolutionary War. What Trumpanzees don’t seem to understand is that the most disrespectful thing you could do is to fly a Confederate Flag, the flag of succession, next to the Stars and Stripes. The two cannot stand together. One represents attacking the United States and dismantling it from the inside, and the other stands for a more perfect union. When will Trump learn that?

HOMEWORK 9-22-17 ~ PRESIDENT DOTARD
The most searched single word last night was DOTARD. After Trumps insane U.N. speech threatening to destroy the entire country of North Korea, the WAR of words became totally nuclear. “Speak softly and carry a big stick,” was great advice, but we have a screaming unhinged bully doing all the talking. Obviously, he lacks “stick.”
Mueller’s Russia investigation is moving full-steam ahead. Trump lawyer Ty Cobb said, “It would be truly shocking if Paul Manafort tried to monetize his relationship with Trump.” For me, it would be truly shocking if he didn’t. Making money off Donald Trump is probably the least offensive reason to hook up with the DOTARD and the least offensive thing Manafort did.
Homophobe and disgraced Judge Roy Moore faces Luther Strange in the Alabama primary for Senate next week. The race has turned into competitive ass kissing and the ass, of course, is Donald Trump. Moore is in the lead. When will we split this country into North USA and South USA for real? It’s already split…just not yet on paper.
And while you were sleeping almost 3,000 soldiers from North Carolina and New York were deployed to…AFGHANISTAN. Sweet baby Jesus help us.

HOMEWORK 9-21-17 ~ PISSY PEOPLE PISS ME OFF
Another lame attempt to Repeal and Replace Obamacare is about to go down in flames. As you know by now, the bill is co-authored by Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Lyndsey Graham of South Carolina, the two states at the vanguard of healthcare excellence. Seriously, they couldn’t find someone from Mississippi to get involved? As Jimmy Kimmel keeps showing you, this proposal would destroy all the progress that has been made in the 31 states that expanded Medicaid and the states that opened up Health Exchanges, but then Louisiana and South Carolina have nothing to lose. Do they?
Robert Mueller’s investigation of Manafort reaches back over a decade. This crosses Trump’s “red-line” but at least we have the comfort of knowing Trump hires only the best criminals who demonstrate a long and dedicated passion for crime.
And we still can’t get over Trump’s UN debut. After threatening to “totally destroy North Korea” in the morning, Trump spent the evening attacking the Emmy’s. This man is not afraid to conduct a two-front war. Trump threatens to annihilate 26 million people before lunch, and still has enough bile to be pissy about never winning an Emmy. What a man, what a man, what a mighty mighty good man.

HOMEWORK 9-20-17 ~ LORD OF WAR
Trump became the Lord of War at the UN yesterday saying things like, “If the righteous many don’t confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph.” We’re not worried about “evil,” you dimwit. We’re worried about unstable lunatics—and you’re one of them. Trump declared, “We will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” That’s not how you show strength in international relations, but this is a guy who is more used to picking fights with Rosie O’Donnell. Trump went on to call Iran a “rogue nation” and to threaten Venezuela. How does any of this interventionism appeal to his lunatic base?
And…Obamacare care repeal is BAAAACK, like a bad movie. IF a bad movie could kill people. The bill divides states into two groups. RED states that don’t want to give their residents healthcare and BLUE states who won’t be able to afford to give their people healthcare. You know there’s a reason why “Pay more! Get less” never took off as a product slogan.

HOMEWORK 9-19-17 ~ REPEAL AND REPLACE THE WORLD
Trump, the Isolationist, went to the United Nations to complain. I’m shocked I tell you.
Say goodbye to the P.R. and the entire Caribbean. Another Category 4 storm slammed into Dominica last night and is on the way to take out Puerto Rico, but there is no such thing as Climate Change. Got that?
St. Louis police are militarized and intimidating protestors. How can it be possible that ALL police are “good” and all protestors are “bad?” Shouldn’t we weed out the bad apples in both groups? Just a question.
The Senate is busy today. Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen will deny Trump was trying to build Trump Tower Moscow during the election because there was no deal (but it wasn’t for lack of trying…Trump is just a loser.) In their spare time, they will try to Repeal and Replace Obamacare with something called the Graham-Cassidy Bill which allows your State to decide what kind of health care you can buy. Add the Ted Cruz Amendment to that, and you’ve got higher premiums for almost no coverage. Sounds great. Rock on.

HOMEWORK 09-18-17 ~ OVER AND OVER AGAIN
The murder of Anthony Lamar Smith sparks mostly peaceful protests in St. Louis, that of course, and in pepper spray, arrests and more police brutality. Police march through the streets in riot gear chanting “Whose streets? Our streets.”
Facebook turns over the ads Russia bought and disseminated in support of Donald Trump. Trump’s lawyers are overheard in a steakhouse discussing what to do. They decided White House Counsel Don McGhan is probably wearing a wire and is a spy. This is what you conclude when you don’t have the law or the facts on your side.
Hurricane Jose heads up the East Coast, Hurricane Maria, now a Cat 3 takes the same path as Irma and Trump’s crew spread out over the Sunday shows to give mixed messages about staying in or pulling out of the Paris accord.
