"...Leaning especially hard into well-worn racial stereotypes, Fox News pundit Raymond Arroyo this week insisted Black Americans will support Donald Trump in this presidential election because “they love sneakers.”

Over the weekend, the twice-impeached ex-president made a surprise appearance at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia, unveiling his new self-branded merchandise including the gold “Never Surrender High Top Sneaker” selling for $399.


After the limited-edition MAGA shoes quickly sold out, Arroyo suggested Sunday on Fox’s Big Weekend Show that Black voters will now abandon the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden because the former president is selling athletic footwear. (The segment went largely unnoticed until later this week when a clip from it went viral on social media.)..."

Actually, they don't.  But I doubt it would matter much as the problem is that they face no accountability for violations and they know that.

"...It Sure Looks Like Trump Can’t Pay the Bond in His Fraud Trial
Donald Trump has made a desperate, last minute gamble to delay paying the massive fraud judgment


Donald Trump’s lawyers have asked to postpone enforcement of his multimillion-dollar civil fraud fine, even as delay tactics cost the former president $87,500 a day.

Trump was fined $354 million on Friday for real estate-related financial fraud in New York state and temporarily banned from doing business in the state. Presiding Judge Arthur Engoron gave Trump 30 days to pay the fine. But Engoron also ordered Trump to pay pre-judgment interest dating back to March 2019, when New York Attorney General Letitia James first began investigating the Trump Organization.


James’s office calculated last week that, including interest, Trump owes more than $450 million. Trump can appeal the decision, but he has to pay the penalty in full first. And unfortunately for him, he accrues more interest every day..."

"...Republican Representative Ken Buck went on the attack against his colleagues on Wednesday night, revealing to CNN that House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and House Oversight Chair James Comer had both been warned ahead of time that the story sold by their primary witness, Alexander Smirnov, was full of holes.

“Obviously, this witness—and we were warned at the time that we received the document outlining this witness’s testimony—we were warned that the credibility of this statement was not known,” Buck told Kaitlin Collins on CNN’s The Source.


“And yet people, my colleagues went out and talked to the public about how this was credible and how it was damning and how it proved President Biden’s—at the time Vice President Biden’s—complicity in receiving bribes,” Buck continued. “It appears to absolutely be false and to really undercut the nature of the charges. We’ve always been looking for a link between what Hunter Biden received in terms of money and Joe Biden’s activities or Joe Biden receiving money. This clearly is not a credible link at this point.”..."

There is a bill in the house that would force the government to stop taxing Social Security SSI and SSDI benefits twice. Which means most beneficiaries would get $200 more per month. It's time this bill was acted on.

Speaking of Social Security and it's solvency returning the tax rate to what it was in 1950 on wealthy individuals would take care of any solvency problems regarding Social Security in the present and in the future.

Things are slowly changing however, for the time being there really is no personal accountability.

I have been having fun on facebook with my local sheriff candidates, asking them uncomfortable questions about similar. So far, one has blocked me and another has ghosted me. I am hoping to be able to attend a few public events and re-ask my questions there.

Hmm, this guy does make a good point.


"..Being religious should be automatic disqualification from holding public office in a secular society, I don't care if you're in Alabama or New York, it's against the public interest to elect people that have non-negotiable beliefs that could influence them. .."
