Remember the family victimized when the local KKK burned a cross on their lawn, but they won a lawsuit? President Reagan dropped by to visit them. Funny thing, they never did collect on the settlement. The leader of the local KKK disappeared. Many years later, he turned up as a Catholic priest, and NO ONE wants to talk about him. Not his diocese, not his former diocese, not current and former parishioners, no one. The Washington Post did find a few people willing to talk about him, like old schoolmates who were shocked by his transformation from racist skinhead to…

If this had gone through last summer, would it have been a deal breaker for the Trumpist base? Probably not. Make Moscow Great Again! Nevertheless, the details of the deal, which have not previously been disclosed, provide evidence that Trump’s business was actively pursuing significant commercial interests in Russia at the same time he was campaigning to be president — and in a position to determine U.S.-Russia relations. The new details from the emails, which are scheduled to be turned over to congressional investigators soon, also point to the likelihood of additional contacts between Russia-connected individuals and Trump associates during…

Resident Drumpf may see this item in the Washington Post, but it’s unlikely as his news reading is “curated” for him so that he sees stories that are positive (and mostly about him). A disturbing image was found on a golf course in Minnesota: https://t.co/m7dnYQ2sMZ pic.twitter.com/xMXHVh0gki — GOLF.com (@GOLF_com) August 23, 2017 However, since it’s on a golf course, he may feel moved, but it’s not as if it happened at one of his own golf properties, is it?

This may be instructive (though it probably won’t be) to a certain cheddar-hued gesticulator. The Day President Reagan comforted a black family In 1982, President Reagan read about a black family in College Park, MD that had just won a civil suit against a local KKK member who had burned a cross on the lawn of their home. He was moved, and insisted on meeting the Butler family. He asked staff to arrange it, and they were contacted at their work to give advance notice (both husband and wife worked for the government printing office). After completing some work and…

They’re so lucky it wasn’t much, much worse in Charlottesville. It had the potential to be a bloodbath. The lines of communication were poor between the various protest groups and the Charlottesville authorities tasked with keeping people safe. But it nearly came unstuck. At the moment this man aimed his gun at a counter-protester using an improvised flamethrower, the C’vill police were up the street to the left and behind barricades. They were out of position for keeping the two groups of protestors separate. This man has been identified and arrested. Fortunately, his safety was on the first time he…
