On Saturday, I participated in honoring the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial at Sewickley Cemetery. Did you know that Western Pennsylvania accounted for the most members of the Tuskegee Airman in the country?
Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’
It’s our duty to know.
He was burning alive, yet he kept re-entering the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle until all six soldiers and the Iraqi interpreter were safe. Burns covered 72% of his body. His first words were, ‘How are my boys?’ He died three weeks later. It took 16 years for him to receive the Medal of Honor. HIS NAME IS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ALWYN C. CASHE, NEVER FORGET!!!
Hillary Clinton on Trump: "He has become more and more unhinged and obsessed with what makes him feel strong and powerful. I never thought he cared much about the people including the people who vote for him. He wants to stay in power not to provide housing, healthcare or improve financial wellbeing of Americans. He wants to stay in power for the purse."
Justin J. Pearson: “If the Republican Party is gonna be the party licking the boot of the billionaires who are taking our land, polluting our water, and taking our jobs, then let us be the party of the working class in rural, suburban, and urban America alike. If the Republican Party is gonna be the party of AI taking away our jobs, the party of corporate handouts and blank checks for foreign wars, let us be the party to deliver an increase to the minimum wage. Let us be the party to deliver universal healthcare”
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, President Barack Obama just slammed Donald Trump for being a weakling behind a computer unwilling to stand on business when they meet in person. This is amazing.
Fascinating how any serious talk about the improvement of the lives of working people (outside of the frame of the culture wars) is labeled as communist or socialist.
He Wants An Investigation On The Gas Prices B/c He Feels They Should Be Lower!!! 🤣 (Pussy Nigga They High Cause Of U) He Wants An Investigation On Anything That Doesn’t Go His Way!!! Bruh A True Fuck N*gga!!!!!! 🤡
Former President Barack Obama finally acknowledged Trump's bizarre, creepy obsession with him during an appearance on ALL THE SMOKE with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson today.
One of the hosts pointed out that the "leader of this current administration is still very fascinated" with President Obama and his family, despite the fact he's been "out of office [for] nearly 10 years now."
"Look, you gotta ask him what it is — the obsession ... I obviously, you know, have a room in his head —," Obama began.
"Rent free," one of the hosts cut in.
"A suite in his head," Obama agreed. "But the thing about it is that was always clear to me. Look, first of all, when I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said, somebody said, or what my predecessor did, they're gone."
"I got work to do," Obama continued. "It's hard to describe how, if you're doing the job right every day, you got five, ten things that feel hard, and you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about came before somebody who came before, and me trying to measure, you know, like what's he done today.
"Look, constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who's not focused on the American people and the job they're supposed to do," he added.
This is what real leadership looks like — calm, unruffled, and unconcerned with petty grudges.
Meet James Harold Jones, the proud owner and pitmaster of Jones Bar-B-Q Diner in Marianna, Arkansas — America’s oldest Black-owned restaurant, in continuous operation for over 100 years! 🙌🏾🔥
This legendary spot has been serving up authentic Arkansas barbecue since the 1910s, passed down through generations of the Jones family. From a small operation to a nationally recognized institution, James continues the family legacy with the same love and dedication.
This is Black business excellence and generational resilience at its finest.
#BREAKING: @jdvance: “If you go back to WWII, if you go back to WWI, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.”
Lawrence: “NO, they didn’t. WWII ended with ZERO negotiations. WWII ended the way Donald Trump claimed his war in #Iran was going to end—unconditional surrender. Japan and Germany each signed unconditional surrender documents. Adolf Hitler killed himself rather than submit Germany to the unconditional surrender that he knew was coming. Every vice president, everyone, prior to JD Vance has KNOWN that President FDR demanded the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan during WWII and when FDR died…his vice president, then elevated to the presidency, Harry Truman, accepted those unconditional surrenders without a word of negotiation with anyone about those surrenders. That kind of statement by JD Vance demonstrating a complete IGNORANCE of how WWII ended is the kind of thing that used to get you drummed out of American politics before Donald Trump’s DUMBING DOWN of the Republican Party and it tells you something about the quality of thinking that the vice president of the United States brings to his job.” 😳
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

Today is a great day and it's a celebration"
