Puerto Rico is 5,328 square miles with a population of 3.2 million (Americans). Greenland is melting but the area is 836,300 square miles with around 56,000 people, less than the 70,000 who live in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico's 7th largest city. Greenland's biggest town, Nuuk, has 18,000 people. There are 140 Americans station in Greenland at the Thule Air Base.Former Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor is getting really famous. The video above is an interview he did with Hallie Jackson on MSNBC yesterday.

The chart above is from a new Civiqs poll of Trump's favorable/unfavorable ratings by race. Its disappointing that 54% of white people have a positive opinion and surprising that 6% of African Americans do.

Yesterday, in his Washington Post column, Greg Sargent wrote that ever since Señor Trumpanzee "launched his candidacy by declaring Mexicans to be 'rapists,' Trump's public racism has often included two additional important elements: an adamant refusal to apologize for it in the face of outrage, and an equally adamant denial that the offending language was racist in any way. Central to Trump’s racism-- and more broadly to Trumpism writ large-- is not just the content of the racism itself.

I have to admit... it's fun to beat up on a puffed up bully like Michael Cohen-- Trump's bargain basement Roy Cohn wannabe. Since childhood, Cohen has been a Mob-connected asshole and his Mob connection helped acquire a once valuable collection of New York and Chicago taxi medallions-- once but no longer.

Ignoramus that she is, she doesn't think politics and music go together. Now, what could have possibly set her off?

Vanilla ISISThe Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin predicted Trumapnzee's excuses for the new realization among some who missed the first decades of Trump as racist that Trump is a racist:

Judging by all the hubbub over Nordstrom this week, it certainly looks like Trump is incapable of separating himself from his family business. And the congressional Republicans don't appear to have any problem with it at all.

-by Helen KleinA recent article by Kathy Kiely about a new book, The Making of Donald Trump by David Cay Johnston, sheds further light on The Donald, the most emotionally unstable and dangerous man ever to run for President of the United States. Recently much has been said about Trump’s mental health, or lack thereof. This book depicts more of Donald, the person. It reveals who has influenced him and what he has been like over the years... and, predictably, it is not a pretty picture.

The Woody Guthrie song above, "Old Man Trump" was written in the early 1950s when Woody Guthrie was renting an apartment from Trump's notoriously racist father Fred in the Beach Haven neighborhood of Brooklyn, not far from where I grew up and where my first girlfriend, Doreen, lived. It paints an accurate picture of the bigoted milieu Little Donald-- who has started unambiguously that "my legacy has its roots in my father’s legacy"-- grew up in.

I hoped you listened to the Ryan Harvey-Tom Morello-Ani DiFranco rendition of the previously unpublished Woody Guthrie song about racism, "Old Man Trump" on Sunday when we embedded it. If not, please do by clicking here.
