I'm Just Saying.

Donald Trump is a lying liar who wakes up lying and lies all day. Donald Trump is a racist racist who rants about racism at every rally, rostrum, and retweet. On February 6–7, 2026, Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. The post drew immediate backlash. White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt initially defended it, saying: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King.” In the same response, she added: “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.” As an aside, it amazes me how Donald Trump surrounds himself with so many self-described born-again Christians who will not hesitate to defend their forked-tongued mentor unapologetically at every turn … but I digress. Tim Scott posted on X: “Praying it was fake because it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House....

In late January 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice, acting through the Federal Bureau of Investigation, seized 2020 election ballots and records from Fulton County under a court-approved warrant—more than five years after the election was certified, recounted, audited, and exhaustively litigated. No new allegation of fraud was announced, no criminal charge disclosed, and no evidence surfaced that could alter the settled result. The most plausible purpose of the seizure, therefore, is not discovery but reexamination: an effort to enable a retrospective recount in service of a claim that has already failed in every legal forum. Even if such a recount were conducted, it could not change history or law; it could only provide an official-looking pretext to keep insisting that a concluded election somehow remains unresolved. So, let me get this straight. You LOST in 2020 to Joe Biden.  You went to court more than 60 times, arguing in front of many of the judges you yourself appointed, ...

 I have been a proud progressive for all of my adult life, although I admit that in the earliest part of that period, I’m not sure I fully understood everything that entailed. In those days, there were liberal and conservative Democrats, liberal and conservative Republicans, and liberal and conservative Independents, a reminder that ideology once described tendencies rather than tribal identities. At the very least, early in life, most of us get our politics from our parents. My father did not indoctrinate me with his politics, but he took us to marches and protests when circumstances permitted. I vaguely remember playing around the reflecting pool as Dr. King revealed his dream, unaware at the time that I was witnessing history rather than simply inhabiting it. I also remember my mother explaining to us one Christmas that we might not get all the things we wanted because some little girls had died in an explosion in the basement of a church. I remember not quite understanding exac...

 Our founding fathers, in their infinite wisdom, not only created three coequal branches of government as a system of checks and balances, but made the Constitution a living, breathing document that could be amended to ensure not only that things they did not conceive of at the time could be properly addressed, but also so that law and order, peace and harmony may coexist at once. This deliberate adaptability ensured that the system could survive both unforeseeable challenges and foreseeable abuses of power. This flexibility was not an accident; it was a safeguard against both ignorance and ambition. When needed, the legislative branch could enact checks and balances within each of the three coequal branches to ensure that each branch works properly. In other words, no branch was ever meant to operate on trust alone, but on enforced restraint.  The Constitution assumes human fallibility, and it is precisely that assumption that gives the system its strength.  Other countr...

In 1942, during World War II, the East Wing was added to the White House to provide office space for the First Lady and her staff. Eleanor Roosevelt needed real working offices. Unlike her predecessors, she wasn’t simply hosting teas and entertaining the wives of foreign dignitaries; she was running press conferences, traveling constantly, and operating like a cabinet-level official. The interior of the White House was already overburdened, so the powers that be decided to erect a temporary wartime structure. As they dug the foundation, they used the construction as cover to secretly build a hardened underground bunker beneath it. That bunker later became the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), the place presidents go to plan all things wartime and, just as importantly, the place they go when everything else goes to shit. Until very recently, the East Wing housed offices for the First Lady, the Social Secretary, and the White House Corres...
