I witnessed the House Oversight Committee’s Hearing, where former attorney and now convicted felon, Michael Cohen testified, on February 27, 2019. Chaired by Rep. Elijah Cummings. (D) Maryland, it was well- conducted, in my opinion. I thought it astounding in content and execution. As important was Mr. Cohen’s mea culpa moment that revealed the man’s […]
General John Kelly misses no opportunity to prove that whatever skill-sets he must have had as a military commander, were not for him, transferable. Many others similarly qualified, have been able to adapt to new political positions and excelled there too. What could be the impediment to Gen. Kelly bringing fundamental principles of leadership to […]
I am stunned, not angry, just absolutely appalled. (See link below) Judging Kanye West to be fool, is no news to many of us, so why idle there? Further, I already know that racism didn’t start with slavery and that slavery didn’t start with the Atlantic triangular trade in humans. But the recency, the scale, […]
Congratulations Colin Kaepernick, on your achievement and international recognition. You are an inspiration and will long be remembered for your sacrifice and tremendous courage. Thank you. Someday a smart child somewhere in the world might be puzzled to find the reason why African Americans, who do so much for America’s prestige and advancement, are appreciated […]
July 22, 2017 By Leyland A. King “A fine day, it is. I just love my life”. Say that randomly to colleagues, casual friends -amicable smiles accompanying- that’s your private space-protection, right there. No need for canned sardines and onions. Sometimes it seems that maudlin bests maturity and pragmatism. Even expectations. One might suppose that […]
First posted as “Is Feminism Mindful of Anything, Other Than the Glass Ceiling?” This article, I thought, should be reposted.I want to keep it fresh in memory because of this fact: in pre-industrial transport of materiel, we suffered horses, camels, elephants as our beasts of burden. And oh,yes as terrors of war. In the case […]
Over the last twenty four hours I received a few shocks from mainstream media and my much admired President Barack Obama. They concern the revelation of the Department of Justice’s report on occurrences in Ferguson, Missouri. They investigated complaints surrounding the death of Michael Brown and the overall conduct of the city’s Police. Sometime ago, […]

First, let me say good- Saturday- morning to you. I love your blog and particularly this post. I am sure that you are aware of the sensitivity related to the subject of race; that it is avoided unless one is assured the of sympathic reception by the other. If not we just yell just at […]
ToddlertheTerrible When Gov Nixon took 4 days to crawl from the hole called his office, I thought he was lazy and did not understand what he was dealing with. Then he reluctantly held a jocose press conference which confirmed for me that he intends business as usual. When Mayor Knowles was finally found and handed […]
When you are armed and powerful; when vendetta drives policy; when concern for the never-satisfied-lobbyists becomes a part of inviolable cluster of priorities, we end up doing very unconscionable things. Problem is, times change. The U.S is not going to be #1 in global-death-delivery technology forever. This is the time to be most supportive of […]
Ferguson Shooting Is Only The Sympthom When T.J Deonne appeared of TV and said he was “tired” of reporting on killings by police of unarmed black men I felt guilty, frustrated and ferociously angry as he. The pattern is too familiar-the marches, the chants, the worn press conferences by Police Chiefs with a mute gaggle […]
@Today, the news media reported extensively on the indictment of Scott Batterson, for bribery and soliciting unlawful compensation. Mr Batterson is on suspension from his position as a board member of Orange County Expressway Authority. It is believed that there are more indictments to follow. Without prejudging this issue, a small episode in the history […]
Pssst….., GOP. Yes, you. Just want to talk with you a little bit. Won’t keep you long. It’s for your own good. Remember when you said it’s morning in America and you scapegoatthe welfare queen. Well, the rest of the days were overcast and cold. I know, I know. You couldn’t have foreseen that. These […]
