Did you just say you're not sure why Pam Grier is in this video??

Fair enough. It's just that I was expecting to see Hall or Oates, but you are -- as usual -- Not Wrong.

That's Pam Grier's love child with G. Gordon Liddy.

Today's Daily Dose is from the Foxy Brown soundtrack. It's "Foxy Lady"!

Well, here you go
 
Here is a piece that examines the angst of white voters and why they're switching from Democrat to Republican in some districts. And Kathy Miller embodies perfectly exactly what I think the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters believe.

Watch the full 11 minute video.

She's a fervent anti-globalist??? She has resigned, which will only reinforce in many Trump supporters' minds that, in this era of toxic political correctness, you cannot even dare to speak your opinion, even when it is the unvarnished truth.

When will the media stop with "Trump is reaching out to black people?" When he's speaks stereotypes in the presence of black people, the people present are not the intended audience. That should be obvious.

I'm still amazed the Press didn't report Donald Trump Jr.'s "Warm up the ovens" comment as outreach to Jews.

Lil help? So in Tulsa a seemingly normal man standing near a broken car with his hands in the air is shot to death. But was there any backstory to before the shooting? I cannot find any real timeline. But the dash cam I saw shows a cop car racing, really racing, to the scene of a broken down car? What was that about?

Wells Fargo's circles are much bigger.

I don't know, and for that matter why was there a police helicopter overhead. And how weird is it that the husband of the shooter was in that helicopter. I used to live in Tulsa (whoops, outable) and it is not the busiest place. Also, an inch or two of snow shuts the whole place down.

I haven't watch a whole lot of coverage of that shooting, but I did watch the video from the helicopter. For me, the most telling detail is that the officer in the helicopter, watching from hundreds of feet in the air, confidently says (before the shooting) that the soon-to-be-victim is probably on drugs, and a bad man.

The shooter did not have her dashcam on, so we haven't seen exactly what happened. I'm sure she'll give a very valid reason why she was so scared of him. But I think her attorney said she's trained in recognizing people on drugs and thought he was on PCP or something, and that he wasn't following her instructions, including putting his hand in his left pocket after being told not to.

I don't think we know at what point she pulled her gun, but I'm guess she also requested all that backup at about the same time.

She's going to tell the jury how truly terrified she was and be acquitted, though, because, America.
