Fox & Friends, spent Sunday morning praising the president for not "picking a side"

Because the current president of the United States is an unstable and tantrum-prone child, it is important to consider what messages he is getting from the only television outlets he considers acceptable measures of his self-worth.

He needn't worry. His only still-valued program, Fox & Friends, spent Sunday morning praising the president for not "picking a side" between white supremacists marching in Charlottesville and those opposing them.

Michael Che rips TWEETY on Seth Meyers..hilarious..

Watching a rerun of Seth Meyers with Colin Jost and Michael Che....you know how TWEETY uses a clip of them to promote his show...to show how cool he is....they just mocked him bigtime. Che said Tweety said to him "I see you interviewed Trump." Che said HUH a couple times...then it dawned on him that he meant the skit where he played Lester Holt. Che said "He didn't know the difference"???

My Letter to Editor..submitted before Nazi rally...but, funnily, also about hate in the USA 2017

PLEASE TO ENJOY....
AMERICA 2017

Christmas 2015 Hal Howard left a party at his pastor's house, slowing his truck and honking as a five year old girl was in the street. The girl's Dad, Yousef Muslet was outside playing with his kids and he walked up to the truck and introduced himself. The conversation between Howard and Muslet was less than five minutes and towards the end they shook hands.

Nine days later Muslet opened his door to find six deputies from Palm Beach County Sheriff's Dept, a canine unit, and Howard himself. Muslet was handcuffed and arrested for his Christmas handshake with Howard. Muslet was charged with two felonies:battery and burglary - his hand was inside Howard's truck- with a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Howard, 75, is retired and has sworn off liquor, cigs, and women. His chief indulgences are washing his truck and watching..wait for it...FOX TV.

Muslet, 51, has lived in Florida since he was 12. He sometimes wears a keffiyeh, sometimes jeans. He owns three boutiques with his brothers. He started a program called Walking One Step, going door to door helping folks sign up for unemployment and other public benefits, saving them the hassle of bureaucracy. He says by doing good deeds it softens the hearts of people towards Muslims. Nothing about Muslet suggests a propensity for violence. He is hopelessly American and an asset to his community. He embodies everything America asks of its immigrants.

At trial, Howard testified "The little girl had evil in her eyes. And hate. The hairs on the back of my neck raised up." A five year old girl. The prosecution tried to avoid any mention of religion. But the topic kept winding is way into the trial. At one point Howard was asked why the conversation with Muslet had scared him.

"Well, I'm a Christian, number one. I believe Jesus Christ died for my sins. And I have a father in Heaven. And none of them has a nickname called Allah. I felt like he was trying to force his God on me. I reported him because Fox TV said to report anything suspicious". Palm Beach County is the center for anti- Islamic hate groups in Florida. Perhaps that may have had something to do with the arrest.

The far right has reshaped Americans' views of Islam, bankrolling experts to argue that Muslims are waging a "stealth jihad" on democratic institutions. It is in fact the far right and the current resident of the White House who are destroying democracy, one institution at a time.

When Judge Peter Evans rendered his verdict, declaring Muslet innocent, Muslet, overcome, stood up. "Can I...can I..shake your hand, Judge?" There was an awkward silence, then laughter erupted in the courtroom. The judge looked uncertain. Finally he motioned to his judicial robes, "Well we're both wearing dresses", he replied.

"We all have the same God, we just serve him differently." Muhammad Ali. "I feel like a stranger in the land where I was born".....a song I heard in the park, San Francisco 1970.

Former President Obama will reemerge on the national scene this fall, though Democrats expect him to

Former President Obama will reemerge on the national scene this fall, though Democrats expect him to do so with caution.

One aide describes the beginning of a “delicate dance” that aims to put Obama in the Democratic fray, but prevent him from remaining the face of the party.

Aides will huddle with Obama in the coming weeks to plot out what shape the former president's fall schedule will take. Advisers close
to him say that while he will play an active role in helping his party rebuild, much of his work will be behind the scenes.

Thank you Lord.
