After President Trump sent Pompeo on a clandestine trip to North Korea as a preface of the summit meeting between Kim Jung Un … Continue reading Pompeo Should Be Confirmed
I’m Sorry, Starbucks
It appears businesses no longer have the right to keep their businesses from being used as a loitering place, especially so if the ones loitering are black. Frankly, I doubt there would even have been a news story had those gentlemen been white, in fact, I'm sure of it. Nor would there have been an … Continue reading I’m Sorry, Starbucks
