Deplorables who choose to fight against their own country should never be allowed to call themselves patriots or national heroes.

The anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol brought no sense of healing to a country that remains deeply divided over the deadly riot, with the nation’s leaders failing to demonstrate a shared commitment to American democracy.

Sir Sidney L. Poitier KBE was a Bahamian-American actor, film director, activist, and the first black actor to win an Oscar.

Of all the great scenes in all the great films he starred in, this scene from the 1967 classic, “In The Heat of the Night,” is the greatest- and the BLACKEST- in Hollywood history. https://twitter.com/MichaelCoard/status/1479491337166667788?s=20

Nobody Cares?

There once was a guy who would constantly lie and spread hate but had nothing significant to state in speeches, and sealed his fate.

He could have focused his energy on serving the people and his nation but instead filled his own pockets and the space he referred to as the swamp. This empty suit wasted his entire life with gaudy excess and nonsense. Most intelligent people saw right through his fake tan, hair, and meaningless stare.
