The Haitian Refugee Crisis. The Trump Administration, Racism and the Law. PART 2
This is part 2 of The Haitian Refugee Crisis. The Trump Administration, Racism and the Law. We'll be covering one of Trump's actions in 1989 concerning the Central Park 5 and how 1989's racism is still prevalent in 2026. We'll also explore how the government is trying to force hundreds of thousands of Haitians and others, under TPS protection, to leave the United States. Both Noem and Trump claim it's OK to return. Yet, our own Stated Department has issued extreme Travel Advisories for Haiti and Venezuela. We'll conclude with two key sections of Judge Reyes' stay, followed by...

The Haitian Refugee Crisis. The Trump Administration, Racism and the Law. PART 1
Ana C. Reyes, a United States District Judge, ordered atemporary stay of a Trump Administration order to strip Temporary Protection Status, also known as TPS, from thousands of Haitian refugees in the United States. The TPS program was created by Congress to provide a safe and legal haven for nationals from other countries living in the United States who can't return home because of natural and-or human-made disasters, including military conflicts. And as implied by the name, it's a temporary safe harbor with an expiration date. But the Trump Administration wants to shred this legal status, to...

A Ship by Any Other Name. Trump’s Proposed Battleships. Analysis and Issues
President Trump announced a new class of battleship, the“Trump” class. It’s interesting, given this is the president who avoided the draft through a questionable medical situation, bone spurs. But this new identification with a battleship is a quintessential chickenhawk maneuver. According to Trump, each ship will be the largest battleshipin the history of our country, the largest battleship in the history of the world, ever built. Not exactly, and Trump’s claim is unfounded. The new ships are impressive, but so too arethe old Iowa class battleships. The building of the new ships a...

The Plundering of the American Ethos
The Trump Administration has managed to pillage and plunder the American ethos in less than a year. The goal? The President wants to redefine it in his own image. And the damage created by Trump's assault may take years to repair. In some cases, it may be beyond saving. For example, can you remove the river of gold paint in the White House without damaging the underlying structures? While a paint issue obviously doesn't equal the other decisions that may directly affect someone's life, it makes a point. The White House is supposed to be our house…th...

J'ACCUSE the Trump Administration of Domestic Terrorist Actions Against the American People
J'Accuse is Émile Zola's famous 1898 open letter to the President of the French Republic in defense of Alfred Dreyfus, a French army officer who was accused of spying for Germany. The incident blew up in to a political scandal, and the military's general staff used Dreyfus as a scapegoat. Dreyfus was also Jewish, and this contributed to his being targeted for the accusation. We briefly explored the Dreyfus situation in a July 04, 2025 podcast, and it seems appropriate to recall Zola's words, today, as we continue to face challenges from the Trump Administration. This is also t...

The 2026 Davos Meeting. A Look Back. Greenland and Venezuela and a Whole Lot of Noise. An Analysis and Commentary.
President Trump met with European leaders in Davos,Switzerland, this week. It was an economic meeting with a broad-based agenda, including climate change and other global issues. Politics run deep, and thisis particularly true this year in light of Trump's potential actions, ranging from the taking of Greenland to attacking and then complimenting NATO. And let's add a diatribe against Switzerland, and in a subsequent meeting with SwissPresident Guy Parmelin, praising the Swiss for making high-quality watches. It sounded like the ultimate non-compliment compliment. THE FULL TEXT/NOTES CAN BE FOUND AT: https://erm76.substack...

Who Do You Think You Are
The Trump Administration and a number of politicians have forgotten a simple idea: they're citizens just like us. And as such, we all have certain rights. The Trump Administration, in particular, thinks it can do whatever it wants to do. It can't.
