Trump is not America gone wrong. He is America gone honest. A nation built on stolen land, slave labor, permanent war, and industrial myth was never going to age into wisdom. It was always going to rot into narcissism. It was always going to confuse bullying with leadership. It was always going to mistake wealth for virtue and violence for destiny. Trump is that rot speaking in capital letters.

For centuries, powerful countries have arrogated to themselves the right to rule and decide the destiny of other nations. They even owned other countries as colonies. What Trump and Rubio are doing is not new, it is merely a throwback to an earlier Era. They should be stopped.

There is something deeply grotesque about a society that calls itself "the land of the free" while operating the largest prison system on Earth. That calls itself "defender of democracy" while sabotaging elections abroad. That cries about "terror" while dropping bombs on schools and weddings. You try to point this out, and somehow you become the extremist.

After much reflection, and after it became clear to me that some UN seniors are serving a powerful lobby and not the UN, I have decided to suspend all my duties as PVA Main Representative at the UN and from all UN committees/groups of which I am a member. I cannot in good conscience be part of or witness to what is happening at a time when the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use. It has been an honor cooperating with the UN for nearly 12 years under different Secretaries-General and Human Rights Council Presidents, leading PVA delegation. May God bless this world.

They never forgave Vietnam for winning. They never forgave Cuba for surviving. They never forgave Iran for revolting. They never forgave anyone who looked them in the eye and said: No. That "No" is the most dangerous word on Earth. Use it.

I'm not sure who needs to hear this: Criticizing Israel for using chemicals weapons on children is not anti-Semitic.

Russia, Palestine, Cuba and Iran voted to acknowledge the global crime of Black slavery. The United States and Israel voted not to. Tell me again who the world's "bad guys" are?

@Coinvo Despite the killing, destruction and displacement caused by the Israeli occupation forces, the children of Gaza are still clinging to life.

I believe 6 members of SCOTUS are enablers of the worst elements of Trump and are a danger to both Americans and the world. Sadly, they may never be held accountable

I used to ask myself, how on earth was Slavery allowed to go on for as long as it did? But, seeing public and institutional reaction to the war in Gaza, Lebanon, and our country's complicity. It’s not hard to see why.

@NationwideRadio 4. NNN does not typically invite people it thinks it can muscle over or who has been critical of it 5. NNN uses certain interviewees to create divisions in organizations it has an interest in weakening 6. NNN is, in the view of many, an operative and ally of the governing JLP

I am willing to bet that many politicians who are the subjects of investigations for illicit enrichment have sold services they ought not to sell and received payments in cash or kind or both that are unlawful. I wish for the day when all public officials disclose their wealth

Then there are those who charge to grant approvals, including overturning decisions of technical experts. The practice of selling public services for which payments are already made via fees (aka grease palms) is well developed in Jamaica and other countries

Con men take others for idiots. One of the most blatant corrupt practices in the pricing of public projects is to jack up the cost and then pass the excess to corrupt politicians and their combolos as kickback, some of which goes into the party's coffers. Who doubts this is so?
