Have you seen the almost all-white photo of the current White House interns? Of 206 interns, there are three black men and zero black women.
Update: The photo only has 91 interns according to this article. Apparently, the 206 total represents the summer and spring total.
This is just another example of the lack of diversity in the Trump administration.
The man is a bigot and only cares about his voters. I don’t see how anyone can deny that. Sad!
This article has polling information on how Democrats and Republicans view Russia.
Only 38% of Republicans see Russia as a threat. What part of meddling in elections, poisoning people and hacking the power grid don’t they understand? 58% of Republicans saw Russia as a threat as recently as 2015 but they have been brainwashed by their Russian stooge leader Trump. Since 2015, the percentage of Republicans who view Putin favorably has more than doubled. Sad!

If I recall correctly, this March 31, 2016 photo was from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia where visitors could leave post-its with ideas for the next president.
Trump rarely gives a speech that is not at least partially a campaign speech. Taxpayers should not have to pay the costs for the speech if he is incapable of sticking to presidential business.
This is a summary of his “infrastructure” speech on March 29th. He told lies, bashed “fake news”, Hillary Clinton and former President Obama, and even talked about the ratings for “Roseanne”. I don’t want to pay for this! He should do this with his own money.
The top cable networks eventually cut away from the speech and they should have.
Trump took advantage of the networks in 2016 and he is still doing it. Trump is already running for reelection and Democrats should get equal time when he gives a political speech. Sad!
This has background on the landmark 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision which has enabled companies to give lots of money to political groups.
The Koch brothers (extreme conservatives) plan to spend $400 million on the 2018 midterm election. We need to get big money out of the elections (on both sides)! Sad!
Voter fraud is extremely rare but here’s an article about a woman who tried to vote for Trump twice. She thought her first ballot would be changed to a vote for Clinton. This is what she gets for believing Trump’s rigged election nonsense. Sad!
The Colts left Baltimore at night on March 29, 1984. Here’s the Baltimore Sun front page from the next day.
Like many others, I wish they had changed the name of the team and the uniforms and left the Colts legacy here. When the Patriots play the Colts, I call it “Cheaters vs. Deserters”.
I recommend ESPN’s 30 for 30 program on the Baltimore Colts marching band which stayed together after the team left town. Here’s the trailer. The Blu-ray also includes Bob Irsay’s outrageous drunken news conference.
I hate Trump for a lot of reasons but one of the biggest is how he lies about Obama. Today he said that Obama left a lot of judicial vacancies because of complacency. The real reason was Republican obstruction that prevented Obama from filling the vacancies.
Here are more details on what the Republicans did.
This article points out how the Trump administration intends to… “roll back the Obama administration’s attempts to reverse decades of racial, ethnic and income segregation in federally subsidized housing and development projects.”
Sad!
I strongly recommend this column from the Washington Post.
As it says: “…Trump, and his staff, repeatedly show that they do not understand the major issues impacting black Americans.”
