Take from the whites, give to the blacks specifically, and to people of color generally.
He’s the rebel slave from Amistad. No more, no less.
There’s an editorial in today’s WSJ about the new Labor Sec. and his idea of what racial discrimination is. Chilling, inexorable stuff.
The GOP can’t call the race card because the press won’t let them. Even Bill Maher is bellyaching about his tax bill (he doesn’t see it either, that he was a useful idiot in his scheme to punish whites).

My Squadron’s mess hall at Clark Air Base in the Philippines in 1962 was an abomination, but there were snack bars scattered around that sprawling base. In Angeles, the town outside the base, boasted very few eating establishments. I understand that’s all changed now. My daughter reported that things were pretty much the same at Bagram but there were a lot of US chains just a few years ago.
