Georgia Republican Legislators Want to Ban American Library Association

S.B. 390 is written to target libraries and librarians. Some Georgia Republican Senators believe the American Library Association (ALA) spreads Marxist ideology. Therefore, they want to ban the Association from the state and require all public libraries to disassociate from the ALA.

I don’t believe these senators. I don’t think they are telling the truth about their remarks about libraries in Georgia.

GA Senate Bill 390 is disingenuous. They are claiming the ALA is a Marxist organization without any evidence. In this post I provide evidence to refute their bill and suggest an action plan to overtake the bill.

The Godfather’s Sycophants Turn Out in New Hampshire

Donald Trump is the godfather of American politics in 2024. I would align him with authoritarians such as Viktor Orbán of Hungary, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an of Turkey, and Vladimir Putin of Russia.

Scott professed his love for Trump in an unbelievable remark he made in front of the cameras: “I just love you.”

How to Run Against Donald Trump

Two articles were written in the last two days leading to today’s New Hampshire primary election. I was impressed with each article and will share parts of each article below. They take on the issue of how Haley should have run against Trump in the New Hampshire primary.

Trump is an authoritarian who is following the same path as other autocratic leaders, from Mussolini to Putin. Haley must be willing to attest to the fact that Trump is an autocrat and racist, who has been charged in 4 indictments with 91 felonies, found guilty of business fraud in New York state, and found guilty of rape and sexual assault in a New York courtroom.

Exit, Maine, Mr. Trump

Maine’s Secretary of State wrote: I am mindful that no secretary of state has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.”

Trump is Disqualified Not Because of Age, or Birth, But because he meets the 14th Amendment Disqualification Clause

Donald Trump’s disqualification from running for president is front and center of American politics. The U.S. Constitution makes it very clear what qualifies and disqualifies a person who seeks the presidency.

Is Donald Trump Above the Law?

Special Counsel Jack Smith has petitioned the Supreme Court to decide if former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution related to charges from his term in office, as detailed in indictments from January 6. Trump’s lawyers argue he was fulfilling official duties and is thus immune. Smith has requested an expedited review, which if approved, could allow a trial to proceed in March 2024. It’s the first instance of a president being charged with crimes during his term.
