America Concentration Camps & Voter Suppression - What Will it Take for Trump Supporters To See the Light?
 El Salvador and Honduras right now have the highest civilian homicide rates in the world. In the entire world. Even higher than countries like South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which are experiencing civil wars. There has also been a five-year climate-change-caused drought in the region, which has wiped out millions of family farms and devastated the largely agriculture-based economy of Central American countries, and Guatemala now has the highest malnutrition rate in the world, according to the CIA. This is why we have gone from 1% of refugees reaching the southern US border bringing children with them in 2014, to 50% today. People are literally trying to save their children from being murdered or dying of malnutrition-related diseases. On top of this, the Trump administration is trying to do everything they can to rig the US census to undercount Latinos in the United States so that they can, essentially, gerrymander the entire country to the political and financial benefit of white Republicans. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and the GOP are delighting in the cruelty of all of it, because they know that without the white racist vote they don't have a chance in 2020. They are not horrified by the pictures and stories coming out of our concentration camps: they want more and more people to see them to fire up white racist voters. In a year and a half we will have a chance to remove these Republicans from office across the nation. If we fail to, America may well never recover as the nation we thought we knew. -Thom |

America Concentration Camps & Voter Suppression - What Will it Take for Trump Supporter To See the Light?
Quote: " you also had people that were very fine people on both sides" - Donald Trump.
Why is the IRS Commissioner in Charge of Releasing Trump's Tax Returns Making a Profit from Trump Property
Quote: " No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of they friends's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." - John Donne.
Hour Two: Issues of the Day- Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA, 17th District) 
Article: " 2nd Amendment". A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.Article: " Constitution of the United States" Article 1 section 8 (Powers of Congress). " ...To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years..." Quote: " Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison. Article: " 5G" by Wikipedia. Quote: " We abolished titles of nobility in the long ago and if these men refuse to come down here, I shall instruct the sergeant-at-arms in the Senate to go to the White House and fetch 'em. They are as subject to questioning as any other citizens. The president calls it executive privilege. I call it executive poppycock.'" - Senator Sam Ervin.
Hour Three: The Floating Chernobyl Exposed- Paul Gunter, director of the Reactor Oversight Project Beyond Nuclear
Quote: " The Presidency is not merely an administrative office. That's the least of it. It is more than an engineering job, efficient or inefficient. It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership. All our great Presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Article: " Brian Kemp" (Georgia Secretary of State) by Wikipedia.
