We frequently invoke the saying concerning the previous as prologue throughout my radio appearances on the International Black Expertise with Imhotep Gary Byrd on New York’s WBAI.
As a result of October 7 is such an unforgettable date in Jewish historical past with the assault by Hamas two years in the past, I appeared for op-ed or authorities items I printed again then.

That prompted numerous rancor within the Republican corridors as a result of McConnell was among the many key backers of Trump’s insurance policies.
On Tuesday of this week, I observed a semblance of the previous/prologue dichotomy when Sen. Chuck Grassley assailed Trump’s Lawyer Common Pam Bondi, grilling her about her tenure in working the Division of Justice. Then, from out of proper subject, so to talk, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bashed her personal social gathering for its lack of a plan to handle the healthcare prices for Individuals. That is proof {that a} fissure is creating within the Republican juggernaut.
