Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

     Students at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., have never been led by a Black woman in the school’s 175-year history, but that will change after the holiday break when Midshipman First Class Sydney Barber takes charge as brigade commander for the spring semester.

       Donald Trump is a spoiled brat. His election to the highest office in the land will forever be a stain, a blotch, an embarrassment. He proves it fresh every day. He’s a child.

       Donald Trump taught America a great lesson.  He showed that this nation has a huge number of racist, sexist, jingoist, gay-hating, Muslim-hating, Hispanic-hating bigots – those Hillary Clinton called a “basket of deplorables.”  Trump attracted them by millions through his endless attacks on Blacks and other minorities. Deplorables clung to him to the bitter end. Now that Trump is heading for eventual oblivion, where will they go?

        As elections results started coming in on Nov. 3rd, I felt some grief as how many people could so vote for Donald Trump. But by Friday the tear of joy spilling on my cheeks knowing it is the end of Donald Trump’s presidency. This was a great gift on our holiest day Friday and the week of celebration of the birth anniversary of our noble prophet Muhammad (pbh). The American Muslim have survived four years of Islamophobia, fascism, racism and authoritarianism of Donald Trump’s presidency.

       What is Trump’s game?  In defying the vote numbers and urging rejection of a Biden victory, does he seriously believe his own narrative about voter fraud? 

     After the King of Pop’s death, a chaotic years-long struggle with family turmoil and multiple suicide attempts began for Paris Jackson. But, like her father, who once described how he bounced back from adversity because of having “rhinoceros’ skin,” Paris has proven just as resilient.

Three of the Trump’s appointees, Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch are viewed as more likely than their colleagues to support the now lame-duck President’s long-stated desire to kill Obamacare.
     “Severability is designed to say, well, would Congress still want the statute to stand even with the provision gone?” Coney Barrett said during her confirmation hearings.
     “It’s kind of like a Jenga game, it’s kind of like if you pull one out, can you pull it out while it all stands? If you pull two out, will it all stand?”
