A young journalist is in Miami to cover the only president who’s been impeached and indicted more times than he’s been elected.

As she becomes familiar with the South Florida scene, she ends up near the opportunist defendant who is making a detour following his harrowing federal court appearance where Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts.

This Memorial Day post is dedicated to The Cuban Bullet, my late brother. Military veteran. Antonio Julio Soto III served in the US Army.

He got the nickname Cuban Bullet from his coach who was delighted by Tony's force and speed while running and tackling on the football field.

He graduated from Seton Hall University. He was a very open, warm, and caring person. We lost everything when we had to flee Castro's Cuba. Our family has always been hard-working and determined to succeed in America - and we did!

American politicians are petrified about the Democrats and GOP and are having second thoughts about their candidates. 

Democrats are not enthused either about the possibility of turning The White House once again into an assisted-living facility.

As POTUS continues workin for all Americans, he says #MAGA Republicans in Congress would default on our national debt and destroy our economy unless they get their way. It’s more than irresponsible – and it’d hurt working families, the middle class, and our veterans the most.

We’ll need humanity to find unity for our international community of Arabs, Asians, Africans, Caucasians, Hispanics, Hindus…etc.

Our increasing geopolitical tension, along with the destruction of global unity if in fact it ever existed and the deepening of pre-existing inequities along racial, economic and religious lines should give us time to pause and learn from history.

THE WEB MASTER?

We begin with where it all started, with the Russia investigation, the Jan 6 Probe, fraud, financial crimes, foreign lobbying, contempt of Congress, and hush money with surely more indictments to come. The Web Master’s real master appears to be Putin.
