The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today warned American Muslims that there is no guarantee that ballots mailed today will be received and counted on time to due the ongoing and deliberate slow-down of federal postal service.    

CAIR advises all early voters to - if possible - submit their ballot either by drop off box or hand delivery. [NOTE: If you already have a mail in ballot, take it to the polls with you in case you need it.]   

(October 28, 2020) – According to a new model, if the U.S. presidential election were to take place today, former Vice President Joe Biden would have an 88.3% percent chance of winning. That’s the finding of a group of U.S.

The heated 2020 Presidential Election incites the question for Ohioans: what has Trump done for the people of Ohio?

We have indeed set records these past four years – from jobs to factories and agriculture – and why are we tired of these records being broken? Because they’re all going in the wrong direction.

Economic inequality, unequal development, and leveling of labor has plagued the rust belt the past 40-plus years. This is the understandable context for rural Ohio, some of suburbia and some blue-collar pockets of Ohio’s turn to populism when it was presented with a right-wing, anti-establishment populist candidate promising an alternative to the “status quo.” 

Trump has proved, however, to be a hollow right-wing populist in the lack of real economic development outside of the tax cuts and deregulation (a very mainstream conservative political strategy) that mostly benefited the top income brackets. His promises to revitalize some of Ohio’s most struggling working-class regions, like Northeast Ohio, have fallen short.

Trump in 2017 told Youngstown, Boardman, and the Mahoning Valley: “Those jobs have left Ohio, (but) they’re all coming back.”

With the railroaded Supreme Court appointment of Amy Barrett, Team Trump has lit the final fuse on his 2020 coup d’etat. With Barrett, Roberts and Kavanaugh, Trump’s Trifecta, because they all did it before in Bush vs Gore. Read on.

Barrett, Roberts and Kavanaugh, Trump’s Trifecta, did it all before in Bush vs Gore. Read on.

As of right now, with the all-but-certain compliance of Supremes Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito, and with the agreement of enough Republican-held state legislatures, there is no legal barrier to Trump’s second term, no matter what the voters say.

In real terms, the only practical wall against such a coup might be a massive anti-Trump national vote—-but it would have to be overwhelming enough to make his would-be dictatorship politically unsustainable.  

As for the Constitutional path, the road has been cleared.  The calculation is simple.

Today, many people are feeling discouraged at the state of relations with law enforcement. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the most common reason a person has an encounter with the police is in a traffic stop – and traffic stops sometimes require prolonged one-on-one contact between citizens and law enforcement. It is important to know your rights and how to respond to officerswhen you are stopped or approached, especially in common interactions like traffic stops.

You Have the Right to Remain Silent

Under the Fifth Amendment, you do not have to answer an officer’s questions during a traffic stop beyond requests for your license, registration and proof of insurance. You do not have to answer any questions about where you are going, what you are doing or where you live. If you plan to exercise your right to remain silent, be sure to say so out loud.
