It is now most likely that Trump and his family will be indicted on corruption charges. The FBI and the DOJ have been waited for this moment. The amount of evidence is simply ridiculous at this point.

As I’m reading and highlighting my new copy of Foreign Affairs magazine, it already feels a bit outdated due to the ruckus in Ukraine. It’s still a very important issue focusing on The Middle East, and highly recommend that you read it. Also, please refer to listening and watching The Economist, BBC News, France 24, and podcasts from VICE News and The Intercept. I haven’t watched CNN in a while, so please watch a few new episodes of Anderson Cooper 360, because he was in tears at how depressing things were in the region. Thank you.

Until Next Time!

    It’s Black History Month. I really enjoy the series The Wonder Years Season 2 right now. I grew up watching many shows, including MARTIN (he had a radio talk show), therefore, I look forward to watching the entire series.

    The new Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot looks great! Looking forward to it.

Until Next Time!
