SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – On Friday night, the Jonas Brothers took the stage at the BB&T Center in Sunrise. In less than two weeks, President Donald Trump will be the headliner at the arena. President Trump will hold a campaign rally in South Florida on Tuesday, November 26, just two days before Thanksgiving. Charles Zelden, professor of history and political science at Nova Southeastern University, said he believes the president’s visit boils down to politics and convenience. Zelden said Trump usually spends Thanksgiving at Mar-A-Lago, so it makes sense to hold a rally in his backyard. Zelden also said there’s a political necessity for Trump as he runs for re-election. “He has to win Florida,” Zelden said. “Without Florida, Trump cannot win re-election. There is no path for him to win a majority in the Electoral College without the 29 electoral votes from Florida.” Zelden said there’s a calculated reason to hold a rally in heavily … [Read more...] about President Trump Bringing ‘Keep America Great’ Homecoming Rally To South Florida

“You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people—these are animals.”That was President Trump earlier this week, when, according to The New York Times, he “lashed out at undocumented immigrants” during a meeting on so-called sanctuary cities. Democratic politicians seized the opportunity to criticize the president, accusing him of attacking many or most immigrants. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted: “When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren’t ‘animals,’ and these people aren’t either.”Except, according to the White House, that wasn’t the entire story. “I’m referring, and you know I’m referring, to the MS-13 gangs that are coming in,” Trump said on Thursday.According to a transcript of the meeting, Trump’s comments came in response to a remark from Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims about the gang. But his phrasing was … [Read more...] about The Real Risk of Trump’s Dehumanization of Immigrants

President Trump’s own actions, as reported on Thursday night, have strengthened the case for obstruction of justice against him, despite the significant legal obstacles to pursuing such a case against a sitting president.Trump ordered his White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential obstruction of justice by the president, The New York Times reported. Trump relented only when McGahn threatened to resign, an echo of the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre, in which President Nixon’s top Justice Department officials resigned rather than carry out his order to fire the special counsel investigating the Watergate break-in.Obstruction of justice is a crime that depends on a person’s state of mind, and so is difficult for prosecutors to prove. The law on whether a sitting president can be prosecuted, as opposed to impeached and removed from office by Congress, is … [Read more...] about How Trump Built an Obstruction-of-Justice Case Against Himself

This election has been a wake up call: sadly it has woken up and given permission for more overt and public forms of harassment modeled and condoned by president-elect Trump. In the three days since the results were announced, I have read news stories about a student handing deportation orders to students of ‘various ethnicities’ at his school, a teacher telling a student Trump should deport their parents, a non-Muslim student writing a note to a Muslim teacher telling her to go hang herself with her hijab, and a male student reaching under a 10 year old girl’s dress and stating “If the President does it, I can too.” Sarah Burris at the Raw Story has documented 137 other similar incidents, many of them in schools and college campuses. What does this mean for the next four years and what can parents and educators do? First, we have to be able to put these behaviors in context. I have been researching and writing about biased harassment in schools since the … [Read more...] about Why school climate matters with a President Trump
