Trump's racism was on full view at his rally of July 17

Trump's racism was on full view at his rally of July 17. Nothing new in this, except for two factors: The 
intensity and the inheritance from the President's father -- a convicted KKK adherent. One of the great 
missteps of democracy is its tendency to be manipulated by its enemies. Trump an enemy of 
democracy. Plain and simple. 
Here is why: 
Donald and his dad have excluded applications by people of color from renting Trump's apartments in 
Queens, New York; 
Donald has called African countries: "Shithole countries;" 
Donald has labelled congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her colleagues of color as "anti-American;" 
Donald has been video recorded as repeatedly using the epithet "nigger;" 
Donald has openly called for welcoming immigration from Norway (he called it Normay); 
Donald has abandoned the 2015 Iran deal reached by 5 other countries. Including Britain, China, France, 
Russia, and Germany;
Donald's Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, is a die-hard evangelist, looking upon all other faiths as cults; 
Donald's National Security Advisor, John Bolt, sees war as the only effective weapon against Iran. A war 
lord on the prowl; going about in search of plunder; 
Donald has not read the US Constitution. He is proven to be a non-reader. Thus he is not aware of the 
opening words of that basic law; 
Those words are: "We The People." All the people who happen to be is the US; excluding visitors and 
diplomats;
If "Send Her Back" is applied across the board, Trump's third spouse should be shipped back to 
Slovenia;

The idiot is "An Existential Threat" to America. The quoted words are those of a former US President.

Egypt's Field of Dreams

Egypt, the state of 7000 years, should never know despair. It is home to more than one third of the Arab world. Its deserts, both east and west, are full of natural resources are akin to a credit card with no expiration date. From Halfa south of the Nile valley to Port Said and Alexandria in the north, overlooking the shiny Mediterranean. West of the Nile Valley, there is now the New Valley. Its oases (plural of oasis -a word of Egyptian and Greek origin) are fertile areas amidst a parched desert. Signaling hope of life eternal. The deserts await water to burst forth with greenery and life. The sea nutrients are there left by a receding Mediterranean Sea which separates Africa from Europe. The oases seem to beckon the Egyptians to leave their congested cities for the spacious expanse. And with drip irrigation, the new settlers can grow their crops, feed their animals and themselves. Government subsidies are enticing the bold of heart to move. Go West; Go West!! And suddenly, huge f...

Street Lawyer For The Poor

The title of this commentary describes who I am. From $1,000 per hour for a vast US news organization, to $0 for the poor. This huge drop is in fact an elevation. Or an elevator to the power of morals. This possesses an intrinsic value that is germane to the core of human empathy for the down-trodden. Connecting reflexively with those who have a cause, but do not know how to define it, much less how to resolve it. It all began for me by sheer accident. At the age of 63, I was coaxed by a friend, Dana Belcher, Esq. to go to law school. At that time, I had a Ph.D. in international law and organization from New York University. My Ph.D. thesis which had to do with anti-colonialism had already been published in the Hague, the home of the International Court of Justice. But without a J.D. and passing the Bar, I could not practice as an attorney. So I applied to Cardozo Law in New York City, and was promptly admitted as a "returning student." Forty years separated between my ag...

Human Rights

In the modern era, especially after the Second World War, the rights of individuals to all aspects of human dignity were recognized in the UN Charter of 1945. From the preamble through to Article 68. Three years later, and thanks to Eleanor Roosevelt, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Though a declaration, it gained gradually the status of customary law, through citations in documents and references in testimonies. Customary law indicates that each State observes it in accordance with its ways of governance and its basic laws (or constitutions). Between 1945 and 1948, the Nazi military trials in Nuremberg (1945) and the Tokyo military trials (1946) both established one general principle: A combatant in any armed conflict should not abide by orders which violate the human rights of individuals. This led to the formulation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949. These conventions dealt largely with the strict observance of the protectio...
