By Franklin Akil Fudail Recently a group of Black Pastors received backlash after meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss some issues important to the inner-city. My question is why the backlash? For those who think the political system has some value for the black community why not meet with the highest office in the […]
By F.Akil Fudail The idea that a sitting U.S. President cannot invite a sitting Foreign President to the White House is absurd! I have heard both Democrats and Republicans describe Vladimir Putin as a “thug”, a potential meeting as “shameful”.

PATRICK J. BUCHANAN Beginning his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin, President Trump declared that U.S. relations with Russia have “never been worse.” He then added pointedly, that just changed “about four hours ago.” It certainly did.

“Remember, it’s a rigged system. It’s a rigged election,” said Donald Trump in New Hampshire on Saturday. The stunned recoil in this city suggests this bunker buster went right down the chimney. As the French put it, “Il n’y a que la verite qui blesse.” It is only the truth that hurts. In what sense […]

It is they who must and do uphold and defend its integrity, recognize and reaffirm its beauty and constantly seek to understand and share its expansive […]
THE BOB FRANKEN COLUMN By Bob Franken — There’s an interesting debate going on among some liberals, some “Never Trump” holdouts and even some other conservatives.

The charge against Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas is another example of how social media has reared it’s ugly head. The alleged offense is that she disrespected the Flag and National Anthem by not placing her hand over her heart. This is utter non-sense! Here is a 20 year old young lady that has represented […]
