Trump’s plan does not consider that those who need assistance have limited access to transportation.
Republicans in Maryland have already killed the Red Line in Baltimore that would have increased access to jobs through public transportation.
Here is an opinion column pointing out the racism in that decision.
Sad!
The Washington Post provides background on Robert Jeffress.
Mitt Romney summed it up well:
Trump is a bigot and associates with bigots. This was a terrible choice.

The article states: “A Dallas evangelical pastor who once said that Jewish people are going to hell and a megachurch televangelist who claimed that Hitler was part of God’s plan to return Jews to Israel both played prominent roles on Monday in the opening ceremony of the new American Embassy in Jerusalem.”
Sad!
It states: “Members of a special team at the Education Department that had been investigating widespread abuses by for-profit colleges have been marginalized, reassigned or instructed to focus on other matters, according to current and former employees.

Sad!
According to this poll, 61% of Republicans think the FBI and Department of Justice are framing Trump. Only 7% of Democrats think that.

This is one of the best columns I have read this year. It points out the media obsession with Trump. It states:
“Yet I worry that our national nonstop focus on Trump is helping to usher America into a hole: a Trump obsession. The danger is that Trump sucks up all the oxygen, so that other issues don’t get adequate attention.”
Kristof is 100% right. The media does not focus enough on other issues. The panel discussions are all in Washington and New York and don’t discuss the rest of the country enough.
It’s great that the three prisoners were released and I’ll give Trump some credit for it but as usual Trump used it to boost himself.
Sad!
This is in a Baltimore suburb.
