If you have the audio talents, make yourself a you tube channel. Go for it!!!

I would say that Marcellus is no sellout.

A black guy, speaking on black issues, and has zero standing among black people. Hmmm.... 

why on earth should I listen to him.  The track record of blacks who purport to speak on issues and have no standing is very poor. People may not know this because of revisionist history, but there were many conservative black clergy who spoke out against MLK Jr. Malcolm X's issue with King was about his methods not his intent. 

For those of you who have your gasmaks on, look at a documentary called "Spies of Mississippi'. It may still be on Netflix if they haven't already taken it down. Sad and tragic tale of southern blacks working with law enforcement, FBI and locals to spy on the Civil Rights movement. 

Another, historical fact. Every failed slave revolt in antebellum south was in large part due to a slave who told the owner everything. I give you Candace Owens, Marcellus, Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, and the etc. None of these people, have boots on the ground, trying to actually change anything. They make money off conservatives. Diamond and Silk were so desperate for notoriety they took their 30 pieces of Silver to support admitted white supremacist Congressman Steve King of Iowa who lost all his committee duties by his own party for admitting he felt what was wrong with white nationalism. 

Are there black conservatives with integrity? Sure. But they are not like, respected or have any say in the party. They are marginalized. Colin Powell is a lifelong Republican. See how he is treated.

"We've done a good job. I think we are going to be in two, three, four weeks ... I think we're going to be in very good shape," Trump told Gray Television's Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday... "

 

He probably means that from today´s 60.000 new infections he could increase to maybe 160.000. Which would be the highest number EVER of all Presidents. There should be somebody in his administration to stand up and say they cannot follow this junk any more. Even Dr Fauci tries to stay polite although he seems to be the only one left with an idea what is going on.

😏  No way Trump could avoid any deaths but he exasperated it. The numbers would have been much lower.

The Primary Model Shows a 91% Trump Victory Chance

Tulsa County in the US state of Oklahoma, reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, a one-day record high, and another 206 cases on Tuesday.

By comparison, during the week before the June 20 Trump rally, there were 76 cases on Monday and 96 on Tuesday.

Although the health department's policy is to not publicly identify individual settings where people may have contracted the virus,

Dart said those large gatherings “more than likely“ contributed to the spike.

“In the past few days, we've seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots,“ Dart said.

Why would readers of Trump's niece Mary's family tell-all be blown away by what she has to share about POTUS before he became the president? What could be shocking about Donald Trump that is not already known?

Okay, so here’s what we know

Let’s start with Donald’s father Fred Trump, who, although maybe not a billionaire, was very wealthy and as far as we can tell, was a competent businessman if a bit of an a-hole.

Fred had five children - Donald, Fred Jr., Maryanne, Elizabeth and Robert.

Donald and Robert both went into real estate and Robert still runs the family trust, which manages Fred’s properties. Maryanne went into law, Elizabeth went into banking.

And here’s where our story starts, with Fred Jr. Fred didn’t fit into the real estate business so he trained to be a pilot, and he was a good one, flying for Pan-Am. However, he died of alcoholism in 1981 at the age of 42. Mary is his daughter.

During the 18 years between Fred Jr.’s death in 1981 and his own death in 1999, it becomes clear that Fred is worried about Donald’s business acumen. During this time, Fred often has to bail out his son when he gets into financial trouble. In one case, he broke the law to do so - he bought chips at a Trump casino (which, under New Jersey law, have priority status in an insolvency) with no intention of using them. It appears Fred didn’t want Donald running any part of his real estate holdings for fear that Donald would use them to secure Donald’s debts. That’s why Robert runs those holdings now. By 1993, Fred was suffering from Alzheimers and was unable to run any portion of his business.

At some point in those 18 years, Fred also cuts Fred Jr.’s family out of the will and the family trust set up for the benefit of his descendants. That set up the legal dispute which was settled and led to the non-disclosure agreement. Mary was in her early 30s at the time, and needed help for her brother, Fred III, whose son, William, had cerebral palsy. So, being the lead plaintiff, Mary would have had access to all the necessary financial disclosure.

The most likely embarrasing disclosure is that Trump actually has very few assets, and what assets he has are saddled by more debt than what the properties are actually worth. Far from being a “billionaire”, he’s actually under water.

Second, Donald survives from squeezing his assets for cash to finance his lifestyle. In other words, there is only enough money coming out of the properties to cover debt payments and nothing to actually pay down the debts. It’s possible that his loans are “interest only” and that he’s expected to pay the entire amount upon maturity, most of which we know will happen over the next five years. It could be that the sale of Donald’s interest in the properties won’t even come close to paying the debt (Trump has a habit of borrowing more than the buildings are actually worth).

Trump could also be involved in an elaborate Ponzi scheme - he uses financing from a large project to keep making payments on loans on smaller projects. As long as he can convince investors to give him new and bigger loans, he can keep up the facade.

Or it could be that Donald doesn’t actually own anything. Donald’s sole source of income could be from management contracts on buildings that have his name on them. That was the case for the Trump International Tower in Toronto which he managed, but had no financial interest in. It’s since been sold for the value of its debts, wiping out all equity in the project, and Trump’s name has been removed.

So, this book could do to Donald Trump what “The Big Short” did to collateralized debt obligations - show that they’re always on the brink of collapse - a giant jenga tower built on top of other jenga towers
