WASHINGTON, DC - The outcome of the US Presidential elections will reverberate globally, impacting many nations. Every government, including those in the Caribbean, has begun to weigh which candidate’s victory might better serve their interests.

What if there was a blueprint for a future presidential administration to unilaterally lay waste to our constitutional order and turn America from a democracy into an autocracy in one fell swoop?

Trump is “America’s Hitler.”

It was one of Murphy’s Laws that said, ‘If something can go wrong, it will.’ Well, it’s the women’s law that says, if something goes wrong, it’s the man’s fault. Oh yes, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Loosely translated from Latin, ‘It’s my fault, it’s totally my fault.”

Renters account for approximately 34% of the U.S. population, with 44 million housing units in the U.S. currently being rented. Talking directly to this constituency is a winning formula.

On Saturday 7-13-24 at former president Trump’s rally, he was shot in his right ear, and was missed by inches of dying. It is easy for many Americans to not agree with Trump’s platform, but violence is never the way to resolve an issue.

WASHINGTON, DC – Everyone’s heart should cry out for the people of Union Island, Carriacou, St. Vincent, Grenada, parts of Jamaica, St. Lucia, and the fisherfolk of Barbados, all of whom suffered greatly under Hurricane Beryl’s severe blow.
