Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

β€œIf they rise, they rise”.
This is what Donald Trump had to say about gasoline prices.
I’ve got a scoop for him. There is no β€œIf”.
Just look around. If you voted for him, it’s time you apologized by voting Blue in November.

Does anyone out there know if any other President has prosecuted a war from a Country Club, instead of the Situation Room?

I wonder if Trump is gonna celebrate his War by transferring more taxpayer dollars to his Board of Peace?

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

As I have long feared, this President has no intention of ever leaving Office willingly. And, he will do anything to remain in power. This getting really scary…

Donald Trump's SOTU speech least popular this century: Poll A new snap poll has revealed that just 38 percent of viewers called President Donald Trump's speech "very positive," while 36 percent rated it negatively.

Of course, it was. He mentioned nothing that the average American cares about.

President Trump wants to impose 15% tariff, up from 10% he announced after Supreme Court decision President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was raising the global tariff he wants to impose to 15%, up from 10% he had announced a day earlier.

Does this fool not even realize that 2/3 of the American People are opposed to these tariffs? It’s as if he doesn’t even care…

I’m not surprised the SCOTUS ruled this way. What surprised me is that three Justices still think that what he’s been doing is legal.

Trump urges Republicans to 'take over' and 'nationalize' voting President Trump called on Republicans to "nationalize" voting with the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon.

Any President who even suggests something this monstrous should be impeached, immediately. Instead, the GOP-controlled Congress will stand by and watch him attempt to hijack the Midterms.
