On Clifton Chenier’s birthday
The zydeco song was written and originally recorded by Clifton Chenier. I am not sure when but I am guessing it was in the 1950s. The cover version I know best was by Buckwheat Zydeco from 1987. There are numerous other versions including Marcia Ball (1986) and the Red Stick Ramblers (2007)

Great observation. People on both sides are really angry!
Trump started the civility problem
Lots of people disagree with Waters but only Trump threatened her. He is such a scumbag. He also slammed her IQ but I bet she can spell better than he can.
I can see both sides of comments on Waters. On the one hand, you don’t want to stoop to Trump’s level and it will turn some people off.
On the other hand, Trump’s team lives in a Fox News bubble and they need to know their policies are wrong and not popular. I would not want to eat in a restaurant that served a Trump cabinet member.
There is certainly room for civil disobedience. Don’t forget American history.
The facts don’t support Trump’s policy so they will suppress them
The article states: “Trump administration officials, under pressure from the White House to provide a rationale for reducing the number of refugees allowed into the United States next year, rejected a study by the Department of Health and Human Services that found that refugees brought in $63 billion more in government revenues over the past decade than they cost.”
Sad!
