The  letter below was written and sent to Donald J. Trump demanding he remove Stephen Miller from his position as Trump's senior advisor. While it is unlikely Trump will act to remove, the request (demand) is totally proper. There is no place for bigotry, racism, hate, white supremacists, or neo-Nazis in our government.  All Americans who find the rhetoric of Stephen Miller, and DJT for that matter, reprehensible and unacceptable should take action in anyway possible for them to make their voices heard.

If our leaders seek to conceal the truth and we as people become acc...

President Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty during a court appearance this morning to "willfully and knowingly [making] false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations" to the FBI regarding his conversations with Sergey Kislyak, Russia's then-ambassador to the United States. Flynn's plea came under Special Counsel Robert Mueller's expanding investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Why it matters: With his plea, Flynn agreed to cooperate fully with Mueller's investigation. In a development that could have far-reaching implications as Mueller's probe moves forward, Flynn admitted in his plea that senior transition officials directed his contacts with Russian officials in late December of last year. The lies that Flynn told FBI agents: Flynn claimed he did not ask Kislyak to attempt to "refrain from escalating the situation" a...
