Extend Trump’s Facebook ban indefinitely, or risk more people’s lives
On Friday Facebook extended it’s ban on Donald Trump, saying they’ll reevaluate in two years. Why does it matter? Because social media is just as powerful as traditional media. That’s why YouTube star Logan Paul was able to get a multimillion-dollar exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. It’s why Kim Kardashian and her sisters still matter.…
Read More Give Trump a taste of his own medicine, lock him up.
So, the Senate voted not to convict Donald Trump for starting the riot at the Capitol that killed five people and could’ve killed many more, including Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress. Not that I care about a Senate conviction, because that doesn’t send you to jail anyway. It’s like a political timeout.…
Read More Have you seen the FBI Director? Yeah, neither have I
Mike Pence won’t be helping to get Trump out of office, so now it’s about locking up the Capitol rioters. But I wonder how serious they are about doing that when we haven’t seen the FBI Director, or the Attorney General, or anyone who seems to be in charge. We watched angry mobs chasing cops…
Read More What if the rioters who breached the US Capitol were Black?

Read More Trump shows us what NOT to do when you get COVID
Last week ended with the news that President Trump and the first lady tested positive for COVID-19. And this week, things got even crazier. We learned that Trump’s oxygen levels dropped more than once. We learned that he was transported to Walter Reed military hospital. We learned that he was being treated with an experimental…
Read More Watch Solomon’s exclusive interview with Kamala Harris
Hours before a presidential debate that erased the boundaries of decency, I spoke to Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris. I asked her about the concerns of Black Philadelphians—a community that could very well decide the election. The need for Black votes makes Harris, a woman of Black and South Asian heritage, more…
Read More Trump paid no taxes in 10 of the last 15 years? Not surprised.
“That makes me smart.” That’s what then-candidate Donald Trump said during a presidential debate in which Hillary Clinton accused him of not paying taxes. Back then it was almost funny. It was Trump being Trump, because nobody, including Trump, believed he would actually win. But now he’s the president, he’s responsible for running the government…
