Donald Trump began his early morning tweeting on Wednesday by attacking Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling him “DISGRACEFUL” all caps. Trump tweeted: Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL! Apparently, Sessions’ latest Trump problem was doing what Trump requested but not doing it in the manner that Trump deemed appropriate. Trump asked for an investigation into any potential FISA and surveillance abuse. Sessions called on the Inspector General to investigate as the independent body that investigates those who enforce the law to make sure they are following the law. Apparently, according to Trump, calling on the appropriate agency to investigate was … [Read more...] about Donald Trump is the Real “DISGRACEFUL” One

Celebrating Presidents Day with a Fake President in Office
With everything going on with the Russian interference with our November, 2016 presidential election, some question the legitimacy of the current person holding the title and office of president. On Friday, indictments were handed down against Russian individuals and entities for engaging in unlawful activities to undermine the 2016 election and to favor Donald Trump. It begs the question that if a person holding the office of president won the office through the influence by the Russians, is President’s day still a legitimate holiday in 2018. Monday, February 19, 2018 is President’s day. Most local, state and federal offices are closed. President’s day is celebrated on the third Monday of February. When I was in school, it was celebrated as Washington’s birthday in honor of our first president. It was changed throughout time to celebrate Presidents Washington and Lincoln and then all presidents including the present president in office. If Robert Mueller’s investigation … [Read more...] about Celebrating Presidents Day with a Fake President in Office
Sean Spicer Rewarded for Lies; Jemele Hill Almost Fired for Truth
On Sunday, September 17, the 2017 Emmys aired with an appearance and skit by former White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer. It appears the Emmy’s wanted to make light of the lies that Spicer told as press secretary about the crowd size of Donald Trump’s inauguration with a skit about the Emmy crowd size. I am still fuming at Spicer’s appearance. Sean Spicer should have been booed and hissed off the stage. Instead Spicer appeared afterwards to be having the time of his life with meeting, greeting, partying and taking selfies with celebrities. During his brief stint as press secretary, Spicer told lie after lie each day, in an apparent attempt to appease his boss. His biggest and first of many lies was that the Trump inauguration crowd size was the largest that there had ever been in history. After his Emmys appearance, he now asserts he regrets telling this lie—as if it was no harm, no foul. A lie is still a lie. And the Emmys giving Spicer any media platform sends a wrong … [Read more...] about Sean Spicer Rewarded for Lies; Jemele Hill Almost Fired for Truth
Lawyers Sue Heartless Trump on DACA
The law can be used for good or bad. And when it’s used for good, I have no greater feeling as a lawyer. Today was one of those good days. The District of Columbia joined 15 states to sue the federal government, Donald Trump as President, Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Trump’s decision on ending DACA. Litigation is my life and one that I’m proud of. And I am so proud today that lawyers in New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia took a stand for DACA in fighting for the lives of those young undocumented “Americans” who came here as children before the age of 16 and know no other country except the U.S. The lawsuit filed in federal court in New York alleges that Donald Trump’s decision to end DACA is motivated by ill will; will cause a loss of revenue for these states, lower employment, split up families and … [Read more...] about Lawyers Sue Heartless Trump on DACA
DACA and The Devil Living Inside the White House
Donald Trump proclaimed Sunday, September 3, 2017 as National Day of Prayer. And on that same day, he announced that he intends to end DACA with a 6-month delay period of time. DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It is the executive order that President Obama signed in June, 2012 which protected and allowed undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children to be granted work permits. It does not cover all young undocumented immigrants brought here, as it has a cut-off age and other requirements. 800,000 undocumented young persons are believed to be covered under DACA. Trump had earlier stated that he had a “great heart” in terms of DACA and those young persons covered under it. On Sunday’s National Day of Prayer, he showed where his real great heart lay. He announced ending DACA on the same day he asked people to pray. Over 91% of individuals under DACA are employed or attending school. They are mostly law-abiding individuals. They are our … [Read more...] about DACA and The Devil Living Inside the White House
Donald Trump’s Dog Days of Summer
The dog days of summer are usually referred to as the hottest days of the summer, particularly from mid- July to almost the end of August. And Labor Day has come to mean the unofficial end of summer with vacations ending and students returning back to school. The dog days of the Trump Administration have been particularly hot. With summer closing to an end, I thought that now is a good time to evaluate the Trump Administration’s summer days. Trump’s Administration has been hounded with its failure of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, the ever- ongoing Trump-Russia investigation by Special Prosecutor Mueller, Trump’s comments on the Charlottesville Nazi/white supremacist rally, the Twitter roll out of elimination of transgenders in the military, pardon of Sheriff Arpaio and now the expected ending of "DACA", Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. For the past 8 years of the Obama Administration, the Republican Party vowed to repeal and … [Read more...] about Donald Trump’s Dog Days of Summer
