Written by Anthony L. Hall

Minority business programs must benefit Whites Yesterday, a federal judge ordered the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to serve (majority) White businesses too. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell had such orders in mind when he conspired with former President Donald Trump to pack the federal judiciary. They recruited young White men. The primary qualification?

Trump is unapologetically racist The more Donald Trump humiliates White men like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, the more loyalty they show him.

Take Iran, for instance.  Yesterday, Iran held parliamentary elections, exuding the enthusiasm of a tranquilized sloth.
