- Allow me to reiterate: There is NO WAY Obama could have 1) had an affair with a porn star 2) while Michelle was pregnant! 3) paid her $130k to keep it on the low 4) and STILL have religious folks defending him! There would have been a mob at the WH demanding for his removal!!!
- America, where black ppl can commit a traffic offense and lose their life, but the first fam can commit treason and not even lose their job.
- Anti-racism is so hip right now. Yay! But, don’t let it be a fad; make it forever.
- For me this remains the most profound picture ever taken of Obama. The little boy needed to know if Obama's hair was actually like his own.
- It is estimated that the Boston Tea Party, the riot that gave birth to this country, resulted in $1.7 million dollars (in today’s dollars) in property damage (tea). I’m just going to leave this right here for whoever needs to read it.
- Also, I’m sick of explaining racism. You invented it. You should know it better than me.
- Here in Georgia EVERYBODY is voting. It’s the only thing people talk about. Have you voted? Where are you voting? Want to go with me to vote? It’s such a thrilling feeling to be in a state that can actually flip.
- My oldest son is a first year medical student at Cornell. Yesterday on his flight to Dallas a passenger had a medical emergency, diabetic shock. That asked if there was a doctor on the plane. He said he was a student. They still took his advice. He made them land the plane. PROUD
- Say what you want about Obama, but I never once worried about a damned nuclear war...
- My brother’s funeral is today at noon. Lord, give me strength…
- Melania felt it was too traumatic to move her son to DC in the middle of the school year so she spent millions of taxpayer dollars to stay in NY w him for MONTHS! Now she’s sipping tea w the queen of Spain discussing helping kids while her husband locks them in cages Girl bye!
- “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" - African proverb
