MLK Day, Jared Kushner, Trump Lies, Queen, Prince Harry, Celine Dion, Hail Storm, Male Models: HOT LINKS

January 20, 2020 by Andy Towle Leave a Comment

Martin Luther King Jr. at the 1963 Civil Rights March / CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. On MLK Day, we look back at this Guardian profile on Coretta Scott King, including her positions (and MLK’s) on gay rights: “She also became a vocal advocate of gay rights and a supporter of same-sex marriage. In the late 1990s, despite criticisms from civil rights leaders and her own children, she reminded the nation that ‘Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’ I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream to make room at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.’ Scott King saw the struggle for gay rights as intimately connected to the one for racial justice and stood firm against those who would cast the battle for gay rights as dishonoring the spirit of the civil rights movement. In 2001, she highlighted the threat of AIDS as ‘one of the most deadly killers of African-Americans. And I think anyone who sincerely cares about the future of black America had better be speaking out.'”

PARIS HILTON. I’ve been playing a character for almost 40 years…

IT’S ALL HE DOES. Trump made an astonishing number of false claims in 2019. “In 2017, Trump made 1,999 false or misleading claims. In 2018, he added 5,689 more, for a total of 7,688. And in 2019, he made 8,155 suspect claims. In other words, in a single year, the president doubled the total number of false or misleading claims he had made in the previous two years combined. Put another way: He averaged six such claims a day in 2017, nearly 16 a day in 2018 and more than 22 a day in 2019.”

AND ANOTHER. Trump claims Democrats didn’t want John Bolton to testify.

No, Mr. President, we did ask John Bolton to testify. You ordered him not to, and blocked others, like Mick Mulvaney.

All Americans know what a fair trial includes documents and witnesses.

JARED KUSHNER. Justice Department defies court order to release Mueller interview notes related to Jared Kushner.

SUSSEXIT. Prince Harry speaks about split from Royal Family.

DIRTY WATER. Trump to roll back Obama-era rules: “The change to the Waters of the U.S. rule was proposed in 2018 and would eliminate Obama-era environmental regulations for half the country’s wetlands and streams, according to the EPA. The rule set nationwide standards for creeks and streams that don’t flow year-round – known as intermittent streams – and sometimes only when it rains – known as ephemeral streams.”
