This was said back in 1988. Must Listen!

On the morning of February 27th, 2025, Dorian Pace was doing what he'd done for eleven years — driving students to school in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Around his second or third stop, something felt wrong. The accelerator was sluggish. He kept driving toward Monticello Middle School anyway, fifteen kids chattering behind him.
Then came the first boom.
Pace radioed the mechanic. They said they'd send another bus. He pulled over to wait.
Then came the second boom.
When he looked in his right-side mirror, he saw smoke rising from the rear tire. Then flames.
"I actually felt like the bus was about to blow up," he said later.
Pace didn't panic. Eleven years of driving and annual evacuation drills took over. He went into what he called "bus evacuation mode."
"Everybody off the bus!"
The students didn't fully understand how serious it was. Some thought it was a drill. But they followed his voice. One by one, they filed through the front door — away from the fire now spreading up the side of the vehicle.
Within moments of the last child stepping off, the bus was engulfed in flames.
Not a single student was injured.
"What was going through my mind was, 'I can't lose any kids,'" Pace recalled. "I pray on the bus every day. I try to pray before I pick up the kids. And God just answered my prayers."
On Monday night, Pace was honored by the City of Cleveland Heights, Cuyahoga County, and Governor Mike DeWine. The Ohio Department of Public Safety presented him with a special coin for heroism.
Andy Wilson, the department's director, said what every parent was thinking: "I would feel such a level of comfort putting my kids on one of your school buses, knowing that there are men and women of this character."
Pace, ever humble, pushed back on the word "hero."
"I would say I'm not really a hero," he said. "I'm a good worker. I just thank God for my life and theirs."
By Friday — just two days after the fire — Dorian Pace was back behind the wheel.
Because that's what good workers do. They show up.

2024: Trump, "Biden has an ability to fall asleep while on camera. You'll never see me sleeping in front of cameras"

2026: Trump sleeping in front of cameras

12 years and they still aren’t done with the pipes, cancer rates are through the roof, the kids haven’t seen a dime of the settlement money, and not a single person has been held accountable. Flint ain’t fixed!!!!

Flags at half mast speak loudly about who a nation chooses to honor.

When Charlie Kirk, a racist agitator who trafficked in division and grievance, died, Trump moved swiftly to lower the American flag, a symbolic gesture of national mourning.

But when Reverend Jesse Jackson, a global civil rights icon, freedom fighter, and lifelong advocate for justice, dignity, and unity passed away, there was no such urgency. No national gesture. No unifying call to honor a man whose life’s work helped expand democracy and human rights for millions.

Instead, the president took to social media to center himself rather than the legacy of a giant who marched with Dr. King, negotiated for the oppressed, and spent decades bringing people together across race, class, and nation.

Let that contrast sink in.

A figure known for stoking division is memorialized with the full weight of presidential symbolism, while a civil rights statesman whose mission was reconciliation, equality, and global justice is met with indifference.

That is not just an oversight.
That is a statement of values.

History will remember who was honored, how they were honored, and who was quietly minimized.

And it raises a sobering question:
What does it say about the soul of a nation when a divider is mourned with national symbols, but a unifier is not?

It’s shocking how quickly this story was dropped from the headline’s‼️

[Salty Buccaneer🧂🏴‍☠️🟥🟧⬜️ @SaltyBuc91]

When the DOJ (under President Nixon) sued him in 1973, saying he violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to lease to black tenants— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he had his black employees removed from his casino floors while he was present in the 80s— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he took out a full page ad in the NYT/NYDN/NYP/NYND newspapers in 1989, to call for the death penalty against the 4 black & 1 latino kids known as the ‘Central Park Five’ (who were exonerated)— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he was quoted in John O’Donnell’s 1991 book saying “Black guys counting my money! I hate it… I think that the [black] guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control”— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he had to pay a $200K fine in 1992 for kicking black dealers off tables at the Trump Plaza & Hotel Casino to accommodate high rollers— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he confirmed, in 1997, “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true”— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he publicly pitched (2005) that his show ‘The Apprentice’ should do a season of blacks vs whites— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he started to slander and libel President Obama’s U.S. citizenship status in 2011, repeatedly, because his middle name is “Hussein”— you said “he’s not racist”…

When David Duke (infamous leader of the KKK) endorsed him for President in 2015, and he failed to decry the infamously vile white supremacist’s support— you said “he’s not racist”…

When he has repeatedly harassed, disparaged, and publicly admonished the likes of the Obama’s & their children, Kamala Harris, the late John Lewis, and many other black political leaders— you said “he’s not racist”…
————

He has 5+ decades of being racist PUBLICLY and you still refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump is and always has been a racist.

Him posting an Ai generated video depicting Michelle & Barack Obama as apes (a repugnant racial trope, that is as old as this country itself, used to disparage black Americans) on HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, is yet another example of why he is the embodiment of “when someone shows you who they are, believe them”

This isn’t debatable. He is despicable. He has zero class as a human being. And you’re just as disgusting as him if you try to gaslight us into believing his abhorrent post was anything other than what he meant it to be: a racist depiction of a former POTUS/First Lady.

I know they’re so happy and proud of their son. He’s speaks fluent Spanish, plays the sax and he’s a young pilot! I was smiling so hard watching this. What a beautiful Black family and congratulations to them!

@RepBeatty The Kennedy Center can only be renamed by an act of congress

[Rep. Joyce Beatty @RepBeatty]

For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this  move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.

It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.

Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.

Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
