In the beginning, there was nothing... from nothing came ink and blank paper... The ink went to the blank paper and formed letters on that blank paper, and the paper was no longer blank... The letters formed words, and the words formed sentences, and the sentences formed sonnets, poems, and plays... So, all the Shakespearean sonnets, poems, and plays came about all by themselves with no help at all from a doer and a mover... And this is the lunatic left's explanation of how Shakespeare's great works came about... he didn't write any of it, it just happened on its own, we don't need a writer for things to be written... just put the ink and the blank paper on a table and the great works will be written all by itself... The absence of the most fundamental logic in their phony and bankrupt argument is absolutely astounding... Even a fool can teach a wise man, but even a wise man cannot teach a fool... I never waste my time trying to explain anything to a fool... GZ

tell us how good black folks have it under the GOP This is what black voters lose with the election of Donald Trump Leonard Greene LEONARD GREENE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Sunday, January 15, 2017, 6:38 PM President-elect Donald Trump at a news conference. President-elect Donald Trump at a news conference. (SETH WENIG/AP) Question for the disillusioned black people who managed to ignore reality and vote for Donald Trump: How's that working out for you? Because in the weeks since Trump's stunning election win, the president-elect has managed to middle-finger African Americans every chance he got. It started with his appointment of suspected white nationalist Steve Bannon, who will serve as Trump's chief strategist and senior counselor.

Jeff Session to be his attorney general, a pick so egregious that Coretta Scott King returned from the grave to denounce it.

John Lewis, who survived a cracked skull during a protest march to preserve the right for black people to vote. And, as if all that weren't enough, Trump abruptly canceled a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday visit to Washington D.C.'s Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture citing a scheduling conflict. All this from the man who famously asked black voters, "What the **** do you have to lose?"

(CHIP SOMODEVILLA/GETTY IMAGES) The truth is that Trump actually got the ball rolling when he began attacking everyone from a Hispanic judge to the Muslim parents of an American soldier who died in combat. It is hard to witness all this vitriol and not reminisce about that glorious cold day eight years ago when President Obama stood tall on the Capitol steps and took the history-making oath of office for the first time. The nation’s first black president was getting attacked from all corners, a trend that continued for two terms. Who could forget Obama’s 2009 health care speech when, while assuring Americans that his signature plan would not cover undocumented immigrants, a Republican congressman breached any semblance of decorum and shouted, “You lie.” NARCH/NARCH30 Rep.

Before a joint session of Congress. Obama didn’t jump on social media and call the congressman out. He didn’t throw a tantrum and point out everything wrong with the congressman’s district. He stayed above the fray. He maintained the dignity of his office. Like a president should.
