Donald Trump Thinks Voters Change Clothes To Cast Ballots Twice
Hate Crimes Increase
Donald Trump thinks some voters change their clothes and then walk back into polling centers in order to vote twice. The president made the comment Wednesday (Nov. 14) during an interview with the Daily Caller as Florida is knee-deep in its elec- tion recount.
“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of poten- tially illegal votes,” Trump said. “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in cir- cles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody

“They try to shame every- body by calling them racist, or calling them something, any- thing they can think of, when you say you want voter ID,” he said. “But voter ID is a very im- portant thing,” Trump said.
As the votes continue to pour in from Broward County, the president has called for the termination of Brenda Snipes, Broward County Elections Supervisor. “Oh, she should have been removed — I think she should have been re- moved in the middle of this mix-up,” he said in the inter- view.

Weeks after Robert Bow- ers barged into a Pittsburgh synagogue killing 11 men and women, the FBI released it 2017 hate crime report detail- ing a 17 percent increase since 2016.
In 2016, there were 7,509 victims and 5,727 known of- fenders compared to last year’s 8,493 victims and 6,307 known offenders. Act- ing Attorney General Matthew Whitaker re- leased a statement about the results and said the notice- able increase would be ad- dressed by law enforcement.
“This report is a call to ac- tion — and we will heed that call,” Whitaker said. “The De- partment of Justice’s top pri- ority is to reduce violent crime in America, and hate crimes are violent crimes.”
According to the report, close to 60 percent of the hate crimes committed in 2017 “were motivated by a race/ethnicity/ancestry bias.” While nearly 22.0 per- cent were prompted by reli- gious bias, 15.9 percent resulted from sexual-orienta- tion bias and 1.7 percent were motivated by gender-identity

Whitaker said the anti-
Semitic uptick perplexed him the most.
“I am particularly trou- bled by the increase in anti- Semitic hate crimes — which were already the most com- mon religious hate crimes in the United States — that is well documented in this re- port,” Whitaker said.

Donald Trump’s attacks on Black women have become commonplace as of late. Last week his target was the women of the White House press corps. This week he’s set his sights on Brenda Snipes, the election official in charge of Broward County.
In an interview last week with the Daily Caller, Trump said of Snipes, “She’s a disas- ter,” and called on her to be fired from her position. His an- imosity for the election head appointed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in 2003, stems from the ongoing vote debacle plaguing both the sen- ate and gubernatorial races in the Sunshine State. To date, neither races have been called, but Republican candidates lead in both.

to reporters, it was clear that the registered Democrat was aware of the controversy sur- rounding her. According to CNN Snipes told them, “It is time to move on, to let some- one else (do the job).” Speak- ing to Chris Cuomo on Wednesday, Snipes further elaborated saying, “I’m think- ing about many things. I have not made any decisions. What- ever I do, I will contemplate it very carefully and make what I think is the correct decision for me.”
In a tweet earlier last week, Trump accused Snipes and election officials in Palm Beach of delaying tallies to “find votes,” further alluding to an attempt to throw the elec- tion by adding votes in favor of Democratic candidates. It’s a sentiment he held on to during his interview.

Ben Carson’s Hometown Wants To Remove His Name From Detroit High School As HUD Secretary’s Legacy Continues To Disintegrate For Trump Ties
Hits The Right Note
Ice Cube’s New Track
Ben Carson’s hometown wants to distance itself from the HUD secretary because he’s a disgrace for his ties to President Donald Trump and school board offi- cials have voted to remove his name from a Detroit high school.
Carson’s work as a ground- breaking neurosurgeon earned him the distinction of having The Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medi- cine named after him. But the Detroit Board of Education doesn’t think he’s much of a role model for his decision to join Trump’s cabinet and for running as a Republican in the 2016 election. Instead they are electing to rename the school and on Tuesday voted 6-1 to start the public process to so-

“When you align yourself with Trump, that is a direct affront to the city of Detroit and the students of Detroit,” said board member LeMar Lemmons earlier this year.
The voters in that area, Lemmons said, “don’t sup- port the [Trump] administra- tion.”
“We don’t want to be pre-
mature. The community will have input and influence the process,” Lemmons said.
Carson was once a promi- nent and well-respected Black surgeon who was held in high regard as a role model for kids of color. But his decision to join Trump’s administration and work against the better- ment of those in poorer com- munities as head of HUD have left many severing ties with a man who doesn’t have the best interest of the Black commu- nity at heart.
At the Archbishop Borders School in Baltimore, the city where Carson spent most of his career, his portrait was re- portedly taken down from the hallway in August because “He was starting to become offen- sive,” officials said.
Hip hop legend Ice Cube is the latest rapper to take aim at Donald Trump in his music after two years of what many see as unprece- dented corruption in his ad- ministration.
Earlier this month, the for- mer N.W.A. star released a teaser for the song “Arrest the President“ on social media and urged followers to get out and vote during midterms. Now the full video for the mid-tempo track produced by Shawn Ski Beats and We Got Hits Produc- tions has dropped.
Even though Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jack- son, never mentions Donald Trump, it’s clear who he is re- ferring to.
Most notably, the video also includes dashcam footage of police slamming a man’s head into a police car with enough

Smith, who was treated at a hospital for the injury, filed a lawsuit against the Lorain and its police department, Cleve- land.com reported.
