Poetic Justice
Buck Banks | May. 28, 2026
In negotiating with Iran, Trump can’t just pull a deal off the shelf,
Not after starting the war and then asking NATO allies for help.
The guy from “The Art of the Deal”
Is only good at the Art of the Steal,
And then he’s a great negotiator when he’s self-dealing with himself.
Verbatim
“They have no navy, they have no air force, they have no air defenses. Their leadership is fractured. They have hyperinflation, their currency is worthless, and they’re having trouble making payroll… I guess other than that, they’re doing well.”
— Secretary of State Marco Rubio, quoted by the New York Post, on Iran.
“If President Trump’s ambition is realized, a triumphal arch will thrust its way into this murmuring conversation like a boastful bore crashing into a huddle of friends swapping stories about a loved one at a wake …. Heavy-handed and overbearing, it would pervert the significance of this uniquely meaningful place, forcing visitors to see these two sites through a crass and generalized assertion of victory and triumph.”
— Sebastian Smee
“This is a gem sitting there. I think the Democrats … have been episodic in touching it, rather than front and center. Corruption as part of the affordability narrative is more chess, where affordability alone is more checkers.”
— Rahm Emanuel told Semafor that Democrats “should sharpen their arguments about President Donald Trump’s self-dealing while in office — by hitching them to affordability-focused messaging.”

Quinnipiac Poll: “Sixty-one percent of Americans think the United States today is not living up to the ideal stated in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, while 35 percent think the United States today is living up to that ideal.”

54%
CBS News: “Some 54% of Latino voters plan to vote for a Democratic House candidate in November, and 27% plan to vote for a Republican, with 19% undecided, according to the poll of 3,000 registered Latino voters, which was conducted nationally and across 32 competitive congressional districts …. That 54% figure lines up exactly with the Democratic share of the Latino vote in the 2024 House elections, according to exit polls that year — which is a notable drop from previous cycles. Democrats won 60% of the Latino House vote in 2022, 63% in 2020 and 69% in 2018.”

A survey of 1,000 Americans conducted by YouGov on behalf of NewsGuard found that 24 percent believe the foiled attack by a gunman on April 25 was not a real attempt to kill Trump, the Daily Beast Reports. When expanded to include those who believe the assassination attempt was staged or are “unsure,” the figure rises significantly to 56 percent. Nearly one-third of Americans (30 percent) also believe that at least one of the assassination attempts against the president—the WHCD dinner incident, the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, or the foiled attack at one of Trump’s Florida golf courses in September 2024—was staged.

adam and eve were white. so how did black,hispanic,eurpen,french,and asian.so there’s 1 white person.i bet you a 100,000,000 that there are more white people that give birth to black babies but some of them don’t regret it!!!!!!
I’m not surprised by any of the comments made by the the obvious “white” forum. To attack blacks for supposedly doing the same things that white people have been doing for centuries. This country is foundeded on the white raping, pillaging and killing. First the murder of the majority of the Native American population not to mention the enslavement of the Africans, but I’m sorry the white man hadn’t made those things illegal yet so I guess those things don’t count. Get off your pedastal white man and realize that your hands are just as bloody if not more than the “black” criminals in this country, the only difference is that they haven’t figured out a way to assure that their crimes go unpunished like yours.
How do you know adam and eve were white? Is it because of the movies produced by white people? Just wondering? Oh, as far as those crime statistics it seems to be that blacks and whites are even because whites overall population is more than the blacks so of course its gonna seem like the blacks have more criminals amongst there race.
Jesus, if he existed at all, would have been a short man of Middle Eastern looks and decent. We all as humans began our journey in Africa and migrated further afield. People who don’t understand dispersion and evolution get under my skin.
The real evil in America is not the White man, the real evil in America is the Black man, the real evil in America is not the millions of immigrants that come here ever year.
The real evil in America is the idea that underlines the make up of the entire Western Hemisphere. That idea is called White Supremacy. It is an idea builded upon a premise that White must rule over all the races of the world.
This premise is not based upon a conclusion by White men that they are more intelligent. Indeed they are not. The premise is not based upon a conclusion by White men that they are are the chosen ones by God. For God and Christiany was created by White men to help them deal with the reality of death.
The doctrine of White Surpemacy is based upon an idea that White men must rule over all the color people of the world simply because of the color of their skin.
In order for United States to be a great nation, the doctrine of White Surpemacy must die an evil death. America will not last the thousands of years other great nations have lasted until this doctrine is defeated.
People should judged individually by the content of their character, not simply by the color of their skins. Racism, Bigotry, & Prejudice has no place in a great Nation of many, many people and culture.
I pray for the day that all prejudice will no longer exist.
This is spiraling to a feces-throwing match that you’d see at the zoo. Again folks, look at what Bill Bennett’s implying:
Bennett’s implying that skin color is the only trait that matters in predicting a child’s crime rate.
**Granted, in this world today, if a child is born black, he may have more of a chance committing a crime than a white.**
As a black, I have NO problem saying so. Why is that? As a student of criminology, I know that in this world today, blacks are often born poorer than whites. Born poor, raised poor, one has lesser chances at a higher education than if one was born in a middle-class society. Thus, one is more often going to turn to crime than a child reared in a middle-class environment.
You want the right way to reduce crime?
Focus on education.
Put more cops on the street.
Increase the number of social workers.
Run the social work system by MBA’s who’d run it like a business focused on positive results.
Shore up the borders.
Teach the poor, care for the mentally disabled.
And here’s a dash of crazy – institute a government-sponsored type of religion based on chivalry, civic-duty and honor. Nutty? Maybe. But it could work. And it’s a helluva better idea than those who’re proud of themselves merely because of their skin color.
Black and white pridists… you’re all human. More importantly, you’re all American.
Wow! I’m originally from Canada, and moved to the U.S 2 years ago. I am in awe of the racial tension that still exist in America. And I am overwhelmed by how ignorant caucsians remain. The comment by Bennett, has the rationale of Hitler, or Sadam…genoicide in the 21st century, in America. And we wonder why the American flag is burning in so many countries. No amount of crime in Modern U.S.A by African Americans will ever top the sadistic and morally apprehensible crimes of Slavery, and the Trans-atlantic slave trade, the rapes, the murders, the genocide to blacks and Native Americans. This country is drenched in blood. If you all knew your history you would know that the Africans began civiliation – medicine-astronomy-mathematics-philosophy that we still teach today and put a white face on it. Life, history did not start for the AFrican when you kidnapped them off the Western coast of Africa. We had a civilizaion, culture before we were your slaves Oh! and those social programs, check your facts- Equal oppotunity Programs and Affirmative action- has helped the caucasian woman, extensively more than the African American. I’m so angry that so many African woman and men have died in your wars of greed,hate,and false pride, defending this country, to have people like you turn around and spit in their face. I remember white people use to say( and probably still do) “Go Back To Africa”. And maybe it’s time.
I don’t live in America and I have never been there, but it seems to me that it has a corrupt system. I am only 14 but I am old enough to realise that America isn’t as great to livein as people always say. This polititions words upset me as an african and showed me how twisted the people that lead great countries are. Someone has to put a stop to this, and like someone earlier said, stop pointing the finger and try to deal with the issue.
Now let me just say 1 thing all u whites r just a sad bunch of pussies u r only brave behind ur computer screenz why dnt u try n buss a cap in a niggarz face. Oh thats wat i thought bcoz b4 u even get 2 pull out ur gat u would have got robbed beaten and stripped yh i muthafuckin said it. Hell yeah we on top of the crime league coz we aint a bunch of pussies. Put a black man and white man in a cage with no weaponz n will still kill you little white skinny asses. U say its the blacks that increase crime rate but then your white sorry ass girlz b chasin our black dicks n wantin their babies 2 b blacker than the midnight itself hahahahaha and you call us the coloured ppl you rainbow muthafuckers say sumfing drop ur address and i will take a trip 2 your crib n cut ur throat u PINK BITCHES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
