Donald Trump and his unpatriotic obsession with despots like the Saudi ghoul Mohammed bin Salman

Trump is crazy! He defends Saudi Crown Prince at White House Over Jamal Khashoggi Killing Read more (Legit World): 

Echo opinion letters: The NYTimes editorial board correctly called out Donald Trump’s disgraceful defense of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman 👿💢of Saudi Arabia after being asked by an ABC News reporter about the murder of the Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But in reacting as he did, Trump, undoubtedly unintentionally, called out the prince.

In Trump's disgusting castigation to the reporter, Mary Bruce, the he said to her, “You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that.”

In more than 40 years as a psychiatrist, I have observed something that will be obvious to most: Innocent people, wrongly accused, are generally indignant and angry.

Guilty people, rightly accused, are embarrassed or even ashamed (if they have the moral fiber for it).

When Donald Trump least intended it, the truth slipped out.

"Trump thinks Ms. Bruce’s job is to report to the president rather than to report about what the president does," from Bernard Joshua Kabak in New York.

Martin Luther King echo - "Beyond the Dream"

Reminder about Dr. Martin Luther King's dream for social equality in "Beyond the Dream" ~ an echo letter to the editor, published in the Hartford Courant, in Connecticut.

Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday is Jan. 15. 

Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream beyond "I Had a Dream"

We will hear much about his famous speech, "I Have a Dream." 

Martin Luther King, indeed, did have a dream, but he also had much more. He had a dream for justice, equality and peace. 

Dr. King articulated that program in his final book, before he was assassinated. The title of the text is "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community*."

In the book, Dr. King described a national policy of guaranteed income for all that eliminated poverty. This dream formed one of the central messages of Dr. King's book.

"I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective -- the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income," he wrote. "The program would benefit all the poor, including the two-thirds of them who are white."

He also addressed the issues of racism, speaks eloquently against war and violence, discusses political power and challenges all people of goodwill to become involved to bring his dream in to reality. This book is well worth a read. 

It is as if Dr. King is speaking to us today.

*(Wikipedia) ~ One of the central themes of the book's messages is that of hope. King reflects upon the Civil Rights Movement. 

Dr. King discusses the question of what African-Americans should do with their new freedoms found in laws such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He concludes that all Americans must unite in order to fight poverty and create an equality of opportunity. 

King emphasized that he advocates for a united social movement that would act within both the Republican and Democratic parties.
