Kamala Harris’ Plan for Teachers is Good Policy and Great Politics
Executive Editor

Why treat “them” gently, with compassion, at least? Let’s not mention the word, love.

Not All of Trump’s Supporters are White Nationalist, But Most White Nationalist are Trump Lovers
Columnist
if this orange-colored fat-man walks, talks, sounds, feels and disgustingly smells like the grand pooh-bah of the Knights of the Invisible Empire, well then hell - I’d say he is. I don’t need to see his “Klan ID card and decoder kit.”
Of course not all of King Trump’s supporters are white nationalist, however I’d argue most white nationalist are Lord Trump lovers . . . . The…
