The Great American State Fair Is Not Looking So Great

Young MC, Morris Day, The Commodores, and Martina McBride Pull Out of Trump’s Great American State Fair *Update: Bret Michaels has backed out as well. If you have to trick people into standing next to you, the statement has already been made. The announcement came Wednesday. Freedom 250 — the Trump administration’s branding arm for America’s 250th birthday celebration — dropped the “first wave” of performers for what they called the Great American State Fair: a 16-day extravaganza on the National Mall, running June 25 through July 10. The lineup included Young MC, C+C Music Factory, Morris Day & The...

WHCD 2026 incident 2

Commentary

They Really Think We’re Stupid

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner — that annual exercise in polite fiction where journalists who spent the year softballing power pretend to roast it — became the site of what we’re now supposed to accept as an attempted assassination. Cole Tomas Allen, a Black man, allegedly armed, allegedly ran into a room containing the President, Vice President, and the entire cabinet of an administration that has made cruelty toward Black Americans a governing philosophy, and he was taken into custody. Alive. Let me say that again: taken into custody alive. In a country where Philando Castile was shot seven times...

The Supreme Court Just Made Racism Legal Again

On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court decided that protecting minority voting rights is unconstitutional if you do it too well. Let that sentence sit with you for a moment. The highest court in the land ruled, 6-3, that Louisiana cannot draw congressional districts that actually reflect the racial makeup of its population because doing so relies too much on race. The case is Louisiana v. Callais, and it represents the most significant demolition of the Voting Rights Act since the law was passed in 1965. Here is what happened in plain terms. Louisiana has six congressional districts. Roughly one-third...

Pam Bondi Is Out. Good. But Will We See Accountability?

Trump fired his Attorney General on April 2, 2026. The stated reason was frustration. The real story is what she did with the most powerful law enforcement office in the country for 14 months before he got tired of her. Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General of the United States. Donald Trump announced her firing on Truth Social on April 2, 2026, replacing her with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal criminal defense lawyer; which is an issue itself. Trump called her “a Great American Patriot” and said she was “transitioning to a much needed and important...

Why Did Trump Attend the Supreme Court Hearing?

The Quiet Threat Speaks for Itself The question deserves repeating, Why Did Why Trump Attend the Supreme Court Hearing? When a sitting president walks into the Supreme Court chamber during an active case, that’s not a show of confidence. That’s a visit from the landlord. On April 1, 2026, Donald Trump became the first sitting White House occupant in American history to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. Read that again slowly. The White House sent its principal — the man whose executive order is literally on trial — to sit in the gallery and watch his lawyers argue...
