Our Deadbeat President Has Still Not Paid Federal Workers Stiffed in the "Shakedown" Shutdown

This is unbelievable and I'm surprised it hasn't received more media attention. Americans can't support their families on promises.

At Yesterday's Hearing, Whitaker Showed Himself to be the Poster Boy for the Dunning Kruger Effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. Whitaker's performance was pathetic. He has always been supremely unqualified for his Attorney General position and would be more suited to this position in a third-rate dictatorship. No wonder the U. S. has become the laughingstock of the world!

What is Missing from the Northam Controversy is the Abortion Reason Republicans Came After His Scalp

Without a doubt, Northam's yearbook photos are truly awful. However, we would all be remiss if Northam's position, as a physician, on late-term abortion, was not included in this conversation. Northam's yearbook has been collecting dust on the shelf for over 30 years. Yet, it was only subsequent to Northam's comments supporting his medical opinion of late-term abortion that the Republican scalp hunters came crawling out from under their rock to publish these photos. I am not excusing the awful photos, nor the long ugly and continuing history they represent. I am stating there is a context in this situation. It is not completely cut and dried and the abortion piece should be taken into consideration with the racism piece.
