He was fortunate in that he was on leave 8 miles away but still damage done to bldg. he was in and he received a few lacerations. He said when he joined Navy, that he and others were hoping to be on ocean-going ship, however he and the rest were treated more like stevedores.

Bernie Sanders Teaches Fox News How to be Decent Human Beings.

Michael WhoDat Malik shared Bernie Sanders's photo.
They said she was ahead by 25 points...oops my bad. Hopefully other Black Americans will start to vote in their own economic interests and support someone for the working class American vs. status quo which has us out of schools, jobs, and in prisons...

Ron Alexander Is it just me or is Bernie looking more and more presidential as the truth marches on?Kim Roberts: If you mean that he's keeping his hair combed and his leisure suits fit better then I agree smile emoticon

Ron Alexander: No, I am speaking of his strong truthful character shining more and more in his face! FEEL THE BERN

STUNNING VICTORY FOR SANDERS:
Still, Clinton retains a healthy lead in the delegate count, and while the results in Michigan raise doubts about her ability to rapidly seal the deal, the odds remain overwhelmingly in her favor. But the smart money also said she would decisively beat Sanders in Michigan.

How many more Immokalees are there? How many fields or factories are there? We have to ask ourselves ‘who benefits from this exploitation?’ And to understand that it is not only the Immokalee workers who suffer but every worker in America because that pushes us in a race to the bottom.

Young Black girl assaulted by Bigot Bullies at Trump Rally (video)

Shaun King added a new video: Let's find the names of EVERY man who did this to her.

March 2 at 9:28am

I want to know the names of every single grown ass man who assaulted this young woman. They were proud and bold enough to do it, which they had no right to do, ...so now they can pay the price for it.

I have already encouraged the young woman to press charges, but I will also be writing full stories on each man who did this.
Please leave their names in my comments section or email me directly @ sking@nydailynews.com.
Also, I will be reporting death threats to the FBI.

Dr. Edelman - powerful, articulate and inspirational

Dr. Edelman is so articulately powerfully inspirational. I am so glad that I got to hear her lecture tonight! I wrote alot already yet lost it somehow here on cyberspace. Oh, well tomorrow! Afterwards, I did get to speak with her about the hospital in the little town of Bennettsville where she was born, and two of my brothers were born. How, last year, it was closed by the HMO which "owned" it because it was not making a profit. Like many HMO hospitals, it was built by taxpayer money and only one in poor county. We agreed that it is "not right"! And she went on about the drug companies being so greedy...et. al.

She came out strongly against the "cradle to prison pipeline" - "slavery" again for young Black males.

Nancy: Ron, I’m glad you got to talk with her. How ratty to lose your insightful comments about her to cyberspace; I empathize. Can you imagine a more powerful speaker? Every one of her points needed to be made. I could have clapped for an hour. Change is happening here, and the speech she gave tonight has promoted it big time. That cradle to prison pipeline has got to stop.
