AVETTE DUNN….Have you heard of her?……for the last eight years she’s worked in the cafeteria at Shelby Elementary in Alabama……she was fired by the school board….for raising money to help kids buy lunch.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ERASES BLACK HISTORY AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY…..The website for the cemetery honoring Black servicemen who served our country….has been scrubbed of any references to Black veterans….and Hispanic and veteran women…..this is the final resting place for some 400,000 soldiers…..and the website has erased prominent minority veterans…..as well as educational pages on the Civil War, African American history and women’s history…..they also removed all language about diversity and inclusion….and placed some pertinent information about extraordinary people of color…..under different categories that don’t mention…..race or gender because his administration hates history….that makes White people look bad…..you shouldn’t be so surprised about this move….they’re erasing Africa-American history…..the Civil Rights Movement….a spokesperson for the Arlington National said that they are trying to adhere to “STUPID’s” policies after confirming that the webpages….of notable graves of Black, Hispanic and female veterans were taken down…..basically because I would say…..his White gendered men hate diversity…..they hate anyone who doesn’t look like them….and they are working diligently to erase years of progress…..under the guise of “Making America Great Again””….which is more or less….just a synonym for “White….Again”….why do I have a feeling…..segregation may really return to certain places in the U.S.?…….maybe it’s time America admits to itself….there is no method to “STUPID’S” madness….he’s simply insane…..just like King George.

CANADIAN AIRLINES START CANCELING U.S. ROUTES…..Can’t blame them….beside all the crap they have to deal with…..when it comes to dealing with “STUPID”….and who wants to fly into Cleveland anyway?

HAVE YOU EVER MET…….Some people where you feel you might have to say to them….. “NO!…You can’t pet the alligator”…..or wanna ask them ….. “When you went to school, did you go to class or major in cafeteria?…..and it takes all the strength inside you to not tell them…. “You should act like the “G”…..in lasagna?”…..well let me introduce you to……

KAROLINE LEAVITT…..The new “WHITE” house spokesperson….French MEP Raphael Glucksmann was expressing his gratitude for American sacrifices during World War II….amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and the European Union….Glucksmann made a suggestion that the U.S……should return the Statue of Liberty back to France….while criticizing the U.S. for aligning with authoritarian leaders and attacking scientific freedom….saying he was petrified by “STUPID’s” betrayal…..Karoline’s response to his suggestion was….. “Absolutely not….and my advice to that unnamed, low-level French politician would be to remind him that it’s only because of the United States of America…..that the French are not speaking German right now….so they should be grateful to our great country”…..like I said…. Class or cafeteria…..in her case….definitely cafeteria…..because if she had attended a history class….she would’ve learned something different about America’s history…..Man, if I was Raphael, I would’ve stood up, hiked up my pants, cleared my throat, looked her dead in the face and said….. “Look girlfriend….who wasn’t casted for the film Legally Blonde…..first of all,…if it weren’t for us….the French…..you would be speaking the “King’s English”…..and would now be loyal subjects under the British Empire…..you would be spending pounds with King Charles face on it…..not dollars with the face of that slave owning George guy…..….we bankrolled a large part of the Revolutionary War…..including sending troops, warships and fighting England on several fronts…..we built and shipped the Statue of Liberty to “YOU”….as a symbol of freedom…..something that the current administration is shitting on……remember the Louisiana Purchase?…..yeah, we sold you that land and it doubled the size of your country….and it’s true…..you  were getting your butts handed to you by the Brits….you had very few friends and weapons…..so you…. “AMERICA” asked the French for help….the aid we gave you….which was a lot of gunpowder and ammunition….passed through the Dutch Indies…..and this contributed to George Washington’s survival against the British onslaught in 1776-77…..our ports accommodated American ships…..they provided economic aid, offered technical assistance….and also granted some of our military strategists “vacations” so they could assist American troops…..so yeah, American’s should be thanking the French….so, Merci…..Bitch!”…..as for the Statue of Liberty…..as soon as “STUPID” finds out….the model who posed for the statue was a Black woman….I’m sure he’ll revoke her visa and send her back across the pond.
