Senate Referee Shoots Down Minimum Wage Increase, Now Some Democrats Want Her Fired
Let’s play a game, shall we? Can anyone tell me what the minimum wage was in 2009? How about 2011? What about 2015? If you guessed slave wages, you are right. For the past 12 years the minimum wage has been $7.25. That’s it. For perspective I’d like to add that in 2009, “Boom Boom…

It’s Finally Happened: Manhattan District Attorney Has Trump’s Tax Returns
There are only a few things harder than getting your hands on Trump’s tax returns. The first is getting Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder not to objectify his cheerleaders. The second is having fewer commercials for Coming to America 2. The third and probably most difficult is getting Jared Kushner not to look like…

One of Biden’s Cabinet Picks Is Looking Doomed, but Her Replacement Could Be a Black Woman and That’s Fine by Me
I know that I was in full cape mode for all of President Joe Biden’s picks when I learned that Republicans were being extra hard on those of color. Then I learned about Shalanda Young, and sadly it has made Neera Tanden’s bid as the director of the Office of Management and Budget expendable for…

Biden’s Nominees of Color Facing More Intense Republican Scrutiny Than His White Picks. If Only We Knew Why
It would be nice to live in a world where everything made sense. For example, I’d love to know why Taylor Swift is so popular in America, yet I don’t know one Black person who can sing three of her songs. I’d love to know why Colin Kaepernick doesn’t have a job yet a Trump-loving…

Black Rapper Cut From White Freaknik, aka CPAC, for Anti-Semitic Tweets
What happens when a hotep goes so far off the deep end that his third eye opens so wide that he blinds himself? Well, that person can no longer speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). A man who calls himself “Young Pharaoh” and who surely owns a vast array of “made in…

Merrick Garland Gets Emotional During Senate Confirmation When Talking About Race, and I Owe Him an Apology
I owe Merrick Garland an apology. When it was announced that Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court (See Mitch McConnell as to why that didn’t happen) would now be President Biden’s pick for attorney general, I said some pretty harsh things about Garland. I called him as special as a pair of all-white socks from…

The Supreme Court Just Told Trump He Must Hand Over His Tax Returns
What is the difference between OnlyFans and Donald Trump’s tax returns for the last eight years? A New York grand jury would have to pay to see nudes on OnlyFans but they are about to see Trump’s butt-ass naked taxes for free. That’s because The Supreme Court, aka the Court of all courts, aka the…

Trump to Speak at White Freaknik, aka the Conservative Political Action Conference
The problem with Donald Trump is that white people, (I know, not all white people, but a lot of y’all) love him. They really believe that he is a messiah or a magician or a madman but they aren’t just enthralled by his antics, they are literally in lockstep with his bullshit. So because the…

Indiana Republicans Boo Black Lawmakers Speaking About Discrimination
Nothing says discrimination like booing a Black person trying to talk about discrimination. Such is life during a floor debate inside the Indiana Statehouse on Thursday in which Black lawmakers claimed that a bill would allow students in the largely white St. Joseph County township to leave the racially diverse South Bend Community Schools to…
