As Ukraine continues its war effort, questions remain about whether the country can ever reconcile its internal divisions—or whether the policies of Hanul and his ideological allies have set Ukraine on a path of permanent conflict. If nothing else, his assassination is a stark reminder that the very forces he helped empower may eventually consume those who once led them.

The recent attacks by MSNBC on Tulsi Gabbard, alleging “secret” meetings with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, appear to be part of a coordinated effort to discredit both Gabbard and her nomination to a national security position under Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

BTR News – President Donald Trump gave what seemed like a random press briefing whereas reporters tossed out a myriad of questions. One of the questions seemed rather odd and raised a few eyebrows if not a chuckle and a smile from Donald Trump when asked if was considering pardoning “O.J”. Of course, O.J is most known among Americans for the murder trial of his wife and her alleged boyfriend where he was acquited. The TMZ like question could only be referring to O. J. Simpson’s conviction that came about from a Las Vegas incident where OJ basically said he was reclaiming my stuff.
Muhammad Ali was an iconic 3-time heavyweight boxing champion of the world but his most important fight occurred in American courtrooms as he took on the U.S. government in refusing the Vietnam Draft albeit on religious grounds in court. When questioned by reporters in the public, Ali famously raised the issue of racism involving the n-word.
Trump not being briefed on the fact that Ali does not need a pardon raises questions about the competency of his staff but it also raises personal questions about Trump and can make one wonder “how much time has Donald Trump spent in the last six decades reading about U.S history”. Afterall, Trump currently serves as the Cheif Executive Officer of the United States of America Inc/ and should he not be expected to comment accurately on U.S. History, especially if commenting publicly?
A few days ago, Trump caught some flak in the media for apparently not knowing the United States military forces were fighting the British Crown and not “Canada” during the War of 1812 which was a much longer time ago than when Muhammad Ali made his stand against the US military. The country that we refer to today as “Canada” did not exist in 1812 and the land mass that is known today as Canada was at that time in the early 1800s, was split in half and were colonized by Britain and France.
Ali’s famous case began 51 yrs ago in 1967 when Donald J. Trump would have been a young man in his twenties to witness Ali’s historic stance which we’re pretty sure dominated the news media in the late 60s and it is a shame he doesn’t seem to remember it nor state it accurately. It seems a petty complaint and it does give us a chance to debate US history among ourselves but its still not acceptable for any U.S. President to not be able to provide accurate information concerning US history.
