So the DNC headed by Debbie Wasserman Schultz who worked on Hillary’s 2007 campaign did something that pushes me to cement my Bernie or bust commitment. Let me explain The DNC holds data for all campaigns and took down—well the vendor did—a firewall that separates the different campaigns from accessing each other’s data. So a staffer (4, I’ve heard) had accessed the data, 3 were fired. Also let me mention that the DNC has been told of this issue. Why didn’t the vendor do anything about it? That’s quite interesting. What’s even more suspicious in this matter is who the vendor is. Aaron Wasserman, Debbie’s nephew. Now moving on, the DNC after the staffer was fired had suspended access to his voter files. They are not the DNC’s they are HIS. This persisted for 2 days and it really hit--went viral the night before the 3 rd debate—I could be wrong about the timeline. Saturday morning the DNC had restored access. Bernie has defended Hillary from unfair attacks—as have I—lik...

I’m here to talk about the fact that the Wiz was called racist for having an all black cast These people are very funny because they never said anything about the teen movies like The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, St Elmo’s Fire, Home Alone…let’s go back into the 60’s Pillow Talk, Viva Los Vegas,   most of Elvis’s movies were predominantly white but I hear no one complaining about that. Gone With The Wind had a black cast member who was nominated for her role (Hattie McDaniel) and I’m sure when she won at the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress we had a lot of racists out there saying then that she doesn’t deserve the award because she’s a nigger. I don’t care what anybody says about this but if you are more offended that I used the word than someone constantly calling me that in the comments, and talking about I live in public housing, I have food stamps, I only want people to support me because that’s why I support Bernie Sander...

The Supreme Court is a wild card all its own. One thing is guaranteed, whether you’re liberal or conservative…the Supreme Court has let you down. There are a lot of decisions they make and they have the final say for better or worse. With that, here is my list of Top 10 Controversial Supreme Court rulings, and let me tell you it wasn’t easy to decide 10 Brown v. Board of Education, 1954 Kicking off our list is something that started with Plessy v Ferguson where Homer Plessy in a test case to repeal the Separate Car Act enacted in 1890 by the Louisiana State Legislature, he went all the way to the Supreme Court where separate but equal got its start. However, as time passed by segregation was anything but equal as black schools were underfunded, dilapidated and overcrowded. After Brown v. Boa...
