THE ABORTION FIRESTORM IS ALSO A WHITE FREAK-OUT ABOUT THE BROWNING OF AMERICA

America is no longer all-white or all-under-white-control and white supremacists on the Supreme Court are bound and determined to do something about it. Should Rupert Murdoch’s & Tucker Carlson's assets be frozen for Russian propaganda? Russians had infiltrated the GOP as early as 2008 and Mark Esper outlines Trump's most 'outlandish' plans to abandon South Korea, Poland and all of Africa. Greg Palast does a take down of Dinesh D’Souza’s new film, 2,000 Mules: Belly Laughs, Belly Aches from Film’s “Proof” that Trump Won. Also should protesters be allowed to protest outside of Supreme Court justice's homes?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IS "DEMOCRACY IN THE WORKPLACE" HAVING A MOMENT?

Predatory industries making millions by helping billionaires squeeze pennies out of working class people are a tragic indicator of our having reached what I call “the cancer stage of capitalism.”  Louisiana wants to be the first state to send women to prison for murder. Senate Republicans make it plain: A federal abortion ban is in the offing. Texas GOP Governor considers challenging a 1982 ruling requiring free public education. Crazy Alert! Trump suggested 'secret' missile strike on Mexico in 2020 says the former Pentagon chief. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
