## Resource

In this segment, I begin with a personal story, a recent experience that left my thoughts about the urban Black culture validated beyond any doubt. We then address the current US and Israeli military action in Iran, which is increasingly seeing Iran pitted against not only the US and Israel, but their brethren Islamic nations in the Middle East; China and Russia, for the most part, silent. And lastly, I address the complete misrepresentation of Kristi Noem’s move to Special Presidential Envoy to Shield of the America’s. A more perfect example of how the Republicans suck at crafting the narrative has seldom been seen. We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar . In closing, I wanted to touch on a news item that validates my concern about Republican voter turnout in the midterms. In the primaries in Texas and North Carolina , Democrats–or those voting for Democrats–turned out to vote in greater numbers than did Republicans. In Texas, this happened even with a heated primary for John Cornyn’s seat. In North Carolina, a Democrat whose campaign literature had her dressed in a burqa , won a Republican primary seat because she went unopposed in that race. This type of apathy on the political Right is not going to win the midterms. And what is really shocking is that both these turnout defeats came in traditionally Red states. I can’t express how unacceptable this is. Additionally, I can’t express more urgently how we need to turn out, not just for the midterms and the general elections, but for every single election from dog catcher to President. It’s about momentum. It’s about sending the undeniable signal that we are here, haven’t gone anywhere, and are committed to the cause. As it stands, we are not committed to the cause, which means a bolstered Democrat opposition.…
