Commentary & Humor: Electoral Cycle 2025 & 2026
Middletown - NJ EXCERPT FROM MY BOOK "WHAT WE BLACKS NEED TO DO PART 2" for parents and students planning to register and VOTE in the 3 November 2026, midterm election. This is a do-or-die election for Black, Brown, lower-middle-class, and poor White Americans. Lesson #26 of 44: The Five Little "White" Lies vs. the Five Big "RED" Pathological Lies.
The little white lies teach children that when they follow the "Golden Rule," good things will happen to them. Parents often tell their children:
1. Santa Claus is real.
2. The Easter Bunny is coming.
3. The Tooth Fairy will visit.
4. Your hot dog isn't burned; it's blackened Cajun style.
5. The ice cream truck is playing a loud song because it's out of ice cream.
No harm, no foul. Their older, know-it-all classmates will gladly tell your child the real truth. (Smile.)
Trump's five red pathological lies, repeated over and over, require a decision: fish or cut bait.
1. "I will build the wall and make Mexico pay $12 billion for it." Did you think the peso check was in the mail?
2. "The price of your mouth-watering bacon and eggs breakfast will go down when a stable genius like me becomes your President.” How low did the prices go, and how tasty was that oatmeal substitute?
3. "Gas is down to $2 per gallon in some southern states.” If that is true, then the story about Rocky Balboa becoming the world heavyweight boxing champion must be true, too.
4. Some doubt Trump's honesty when he said he never assaulted the 30 or more women after he was caught on a live mic saying, "I can do anything I want to women, like grabbing them by the $&**#." To his defense, seventy-seven million MAGA people voted for him. Were you one of those people? Please tell your children why, when asked.
5. Would Trump—a man who wrote a $59.99 Bible, pocketing an extra $7 million, leading his MAGA followers to think it's the Second Coming of Christ, and who has his own private jet—lie about never riding six times on Epstein's plane? Trump told the truth that time because it was not six, but seven. (Smile.)
Trump's lies have wasted taxpayers' money and hurt—and in some cases, killed—people. To date, he has been responsible for the deaths of over 57 boat people in Venezuela. He is tearing down the historic East Wing of the White House to build a $350 million ballroom—not for you, but for millionaires and billionaires. He is starting a war in Venezuela to turn our attention and press coverage away from his fifteen-year running buddy, Epstein, the world's most infamous pedophile. The breaking news will be: How many of your sons and daughters—male and female soldiers—were killed in the Venezuela war that day?
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Find Edwin Starr's 1969 hit "War" on YouTube.
Today's $64,000 question: Looking at all the great progress you and your family have made since 20 January 2025, MAGA people, do you still LOVE, HONOR, AND OBEY TRUMP? (Smile.)
