Trump wades into ridiculous Pennsylvania GOP primary with race-baiting robocall attacking Black candidate
The Trump robocall accused Kathy Barnette, who has her own scandals to deal with, of wanting to build a statue to "Barack Hussein Obama" and attacking George Washington, which Trump thought was "not good." Note that Trump has never said a white Republican opponent was pro-Obama, but this is his new attack for Black opponents only. Wonder why.

AUSTRALIA has been using TIDAL WAVE ENERGY to provided DRINKING WATER.
California water officials unanimously struck down a $1.4 billion plan to build a seaside desalination plant amid a water crisis sparked by megadrought and climate change.
The California Coastal Commission, which is responsible for protecting the state's shores, voted Thursday to deny a permit to seawater desalination developer Poseidon Water to build a desalination plant in Huntington Beach.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was among the supporters for the plan, which promised to produce 50 million gallons of drinking water a day. Steve Sheldon, president of the Orange County Water District, said the plant would make the county "drought resilient."
BRAVO to those who speak TRUTH & FACTS about ISRAEL's actions.
Israel receives $3.8bn in US military aid annually, and this year Washington added another $1bn in assistance to “replenish” Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system after a May 2021 Gaza conflict.
Still, late in 2016, in the final days of Barack Obama’s presidency, then-Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged the Nakba in remarks on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“When Israel celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2018, the Palestinians will mark a very different anniversary: 70 years since what they call the ‘Nakba’ or catastrophe,” he said at the time.
Palestinians across the world commemorated Nakba Day on Sunday with rallies that emphasised the right of return for Palestinian refugees. They also demanded justice for Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank last week.
Today’s Action: Get out the vote in the primaries!
Today, five states have primary elections — Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon, Kentucky, and Idaho. We all know the biggest enemies of progress in America are Republicans, but it’s also been painfully clear that just a few bad Democrats can muck a LOT of things up for all of us. This is our chance to do something about it — to not just elect any Democrats, but to reshape the party with real progressives to advance our legislative priorities!
If you live in one of the five states voting today and don’t yet have a plan to vote, make yours now. If you have friends in those states, call them and cajole them to the polls! Find out when your own state’s primaries will be held, and identify your current polling place here. It is absolutely critical to show up this year — and every year — to build a truly progressive future.
Every. Vote. Matters. Check your voter registration status and polling place to ensure you’re prepared for upcoming primaries and the midterms — and tell your network of like-minded friends and family to do the same on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, at the park, in the bleachers, in the pews, at the dinner table, and anywhere else you can!
No matter how unpopular Trump and Republicans seem to be, Americans are still dealing with extreme income inequality, incessant voter suppression schemes, relentless attacks on reproductive care, and the demonization of marginalized communities, because corrupt Republicans are regularly joined by a few bad-faith Democrats. Fortunately, we have some amazing progressives running for office this year. But they can’t win if we don’t show up.
Every meaningful electoral victory shares a common thread: progressives turning out in full force on Election Day.
Check your voter registration status at odaction.com/vote and make sure you’re ready to do your part in upcoming primaries and the midterms to win Congress and more. Then, share away on social media!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to demand Congress expel the Republicans pushing the white supremacist rhetoric that inspired the Buffalo massacre, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
