Trump

Although imperfect, history can be a powerful guide as we strive to improve, whether individually or collectively. Our nation’s history of lynching is one example of the many lessons that should galvanize us to make the lofty promise of “liberty and justice for all” more attainable.

After returning home from school, flabbergasted as to how the country could elect a man like Trump president for a second time, my son asked me, “Do you think Donald Trump will try to make us slaves again?”

This year’s presidential race, like many before it, is tightly contested. Votes are counted city by city, county by county, and state by state. Electoral college votes, nearly all determined by the statewide result, determine the outcome.

The Defender Network’s Community Channel recently conducted a Zoom call discussion on voting, the November 2024 election, and politics in general. The goal: to find out what issues are most important to Blacks, what solutions Blacks want to see, thoughts on voting, insights on the current state of political/civil education and more.

Last week in Chicago, the National Association of Black Journalists held its annual convention. More than 4,000 journalists and aspiring journalists, a record number, gathered for workshops, panel discussions, job interviews and informal evenings of networking and mutual support.

The National Association of Black Journalists leadership is under fire for inviting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to their convention this year in Chicago, but reportedly bungling a similar invitation for Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s Democratic rival for the White House — and the first Black woman with a realistic shot at the presidency.

President Joe Biden shocked the political world when he stepped aside from his reelection campaign and handed the mantle to Vice President Kamala Harris.

I sincerely believe Joe Biden is a decent, caring human being who has been an outstanding president. However, I am also convinced that it is time to express our gratitude to Biden for his exemplary service and respectfully ask him to step aside

Following the fallout from his one-night debate debacle, some big media have led the call for President Joseph Biden to abort his run for president. Ironically, most of the press did not lead a similar crusade against Trump.

Project 2025 will create a dystopian country of haves and never-haves, leading to chaos that will enable those in power to steal and to create an authoritarian regime that may never yield to the power of the people. It must be stopped now.

During the recent debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, CNN host Dana Bash asked Trump if he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election. It’s a question frequently asked of Trump and Trump surrogates by hosts of network television news programs.

Trump and others of his ilk are constantly railing against diversity, equity, and inclusion. In my opinion, it’s the new N-word.
