THE AIR BETWEEN OUR TUBS: Borrowed Dreams

 

Winner of the Hackney Literary Awards

The Air Between Our Tubs explores the depths of human depravity, and the resilience that enables us to triumph over it. In situations of the most dire violence and inhumanity shines a gleam of love, endurance, and commitment to a belief in the possibility of goodness. The novel is a testament to the capacity of these values and beliefs to persist and overcome in the face of the evil they encounter. Despite the heart-wrenching realities it explores, The Air Between Our Tubs is a book of profound hope and ultimately a love story. LEWARO ROAD

 The Air Between Our Tubs synopsis

The Air Between Our Tubs, set in the American South in the years following Emancipation, depicts with unflinching clarity the violence, degradation, and dehumanization that constituted the very core of the social systems African Americans encountered wherever they turned—and the effects of which remain apparent throughout the nation, as a wide range of recent events make painfully clear. The novel is narrated by the protagonist herself, in a style infused with all the wit and wisdom she needs to draw on to survive the trials she encounters. The music of the prose captures the verve and passion of the lives it traces, and the arc of the narrative follows an epic trajectory, encompassing a vision as broad and embracing as the love that animates her awareness.

Sanders: Manchin, Sinema ‘Sabotaged’ What Biden Has Been Fighting For

0 seconds of 6 minutes, 30 secondsVolume 90%

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Sens. Joe Manchin (D-VW) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) “sabotaged” President Joe Biden’s agenda.

Sanders said, “We passed early on in the Biden administration one of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern history in this country, The American Rescue Plan, which in my view, did a whole lot to help people deal with the economic turmoil that we saw as a result of COVID  and massive unemployment. What we have got to do right now is, it’s not hard. You listen to the American people and not wealthy campaign contributors. What does that mean? It means that right now, you lower the outrageous costs in this country. The pharmaceutical industry, with paid lobbyists in Washington, D.C., you, expand Medicare. I happen to believe that candidates that I support believe that health care is a human right, not a function of making huge profits for the insurance companies and the people who own them. You’ve got to move to expanding health care. You’ve got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. You’ve got to create millions of jobs by dealing with the existential threat of climate, and by the way, you’ve got to do what the American people want and understand it is women who have the right to control their own bodies, not the government.”

Anchor Chuck Todd said, “Okay, everything you said there was being addressed in Build Back Better. Okay, it wasn’t it big as you wanted it, too big for some, but why do we have nothing? That’s the head-scratcher here. Understand, you don’t have it all. Why is it zero? Why is there nothing?”

Sanders said, “Well, it should not be a head-scratcher. You’ve got two members of the Senate, Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema, who sabotaged what the president has been fighting for.”

Todd said, “That’s a strong word, sabotage.”

Sanders said, “Well, you help me out with a better word here. Forty-eight members of the Senate who wanted to go forward with an agenda that helped working families that was prepared to take on the wealthy and the powerful. You’ve got a president who wanted to do that. You had two people who prevented us from doing that. You have a better word than sabotage. That’s fine, but I think that’s the right word.”

Harsh as these words may sound, they fail to do justice to today’s elites’ depths of corruption. The exhibit number one would be Joe Biden – currently the most powerful elitist in the world – who has sold out his country in a series of outrageous influence peddling schemes involving Ukraine, China and other places around the globe. Biden used his venal son Hunter as a point man who travelled the planet raking in millions for what Rudy Giuliani aptly described as “the Biden crime family.”

By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within  the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and  America         MICHAEL CUTLER

Poll: Economy, Immigration Top List of Most Important 2022 Election Issues

The economy and immigration top the list of the most important issues for Americans as they head into the 2022 midterm elections, a University of Massachusetts Amherst survey released Friday found. 

The survey asked respondents to identify the issue that will be the most important to them when making their candidate decisions in the 2022 midterm elections. 

Overall, the economy topped the list with 32 percent of all respondents identifying it as the top issue. It remains a top issue across party lines as well, as a plurality of Democrats (22 percent), Republicans (45 percent), and independents (37 percent) chose it as the top issue. 

Across the board, 13 percent of respondents chose immigration as the most important issue, followed by abortion (12 percent), health care (10 percent) and climate change (10 percent). No other issue garnered double digit support among all respondents. 

Democrats, however, chose climate change as the second most important issue with 20 percent, followed by abortion (18 percent). 

Immigration also came in second for Republicans, with 25 percent choosing the issue as the most important. Behind the economy, 14 percent of independents chose health care as the top issue, followed by immigration with 13 percent. 

The findings coincide with other surveys showing the economy topping the list as the most important issue for voters in determining their vote as they head into the midterm elections. 

As Breitbart News reported:

While President Biden continues to struggle with souring approval ratings across the board — a trend that has plagued his presidency — 58 percent of eligible U.S. voters say the economy is the top issue that will determine how they vote in the November 8, 2022 midterm election.

No other issue came close, as 32 percent said “healthcare” will likely determine their vote, followed by immigration (28 percent), government spending (23 percent), the coronavirus pandemic (23 percent) and abortion (20 percent).

The University of Massachusetts Amherst survey was taken May 5-9, 2022, among 1,000 respondents and has a +/- 3.5 percent margin of error.

BIDEN CLONE AND ADVOCATE FOR OPEN BORDERS PETE - Buttigieg on Nationwide Formula Shortage: ‘Government Does Not Make Baby Formula’

WE KNOW BRIBES SUCKER BIDEN IS SENILE. WHAT IS THIS FUKING CLOWN'S PROBLEM?

Buttigieg on Nationwide Formula Shortage: ‘Government Does Not Make Baby Formula’

5:41

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the government does not make baby formula when asked to address the nationwide baby formula shortage.

Partial transcript as follows: 

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you a little bit on a personal note. We’ve been talking about this baby formula shortage nationwide that’s been ongoing now for months. You have infants at home. Do you have problems getting a hold of formula?

BUTTIGIEG: Yeah, this is very personal for us. We’ve got two nine month old children, baby formula is a very big part of our lives. And like millions of Americans, we’ve been rooting around stores, checking online, getting in touch with relatives in other places where they don’t have the same shortages to see what they can send over. And we figured it out. We’re all set, at least for now. But I think about what that would be like,if you’re a shift worker with two jobs, maybe you don’t have a car, you literally don’t have the time or the money to be going from store to store. That’s why this is such a serious issue and that’s why it’s getting attention at the highest levels, including, of course, direct involvement by the president.

BRENNAN: Well, and this is going to be an issue Congress takes up this week. I know the President said more action is coming, but this has been ongoing for months. There are supply chain issues already. Then you have the issue with this one plant, Abbott, whistleblower in September, February the recall. It’s May. Why has it taken so long and why did the president on Friday seem to say that it was new information to him? He said, if we’d been better mind readers, I guess we could have done something earlier.

BUTTIGIEG: Well, look, the administration acted from day one after the recall. Taking steps like creating more flexibility for the WIC program to help rebalance the availability of formula in the States. There are more actions that are underway, including looking at imports. But fundamentally, we are here because a company was not able to guarantee that its plant was safe. And that plant has shut down.

BRENNAN: But that is the federal government’s job as regulators to help ensure safety of the plant-

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: As regulators, yes. But let’s be very clear. This is a capitalist country. The government does not make baby formula, nor should it. Companies make formula. And one of those companies, a company which, by the way, seems to have 40% market share, messed up and is unable to confirm that a plant, a major plant, is safe and free of contamination. So the most important thing to do right now, of course, is to get that plant in Michigan up and running safely. And that’s the work that’s going on between the company and the FDA. It’s got to be safe and it’s got to be up and running as soon as possible. But this is the difference between a supply chain problem, in other words, a problem about moving goods around, and a supply problem which has to do with whether they’re being produced in the first place. Now, the administration’s also been working with other companies to try to surge their production. That’s led to an increase in production, which is helping to compensate. But at the end of the day, this plant needs to come back online safely.

MARGARET BRENNAN: And we’ll have more on that later in the show. But because I know you’re not the FDA commissioner, let me talk to you about the things you are involved more in, which is supply chain procurement. How is the administration making sure that those essential ingredients that are actually required for something like formula are actually available?

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: So a shortage of ingredients is not what led to the shutdown of the facility–

MARGARET BRENNAN: No, it is a factor that has led to price. Inflation is one of the factors among many that has been blamed for months of problems with baby formula even before the recall in February.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Right, but America has the productive capacity to create the baby formula that we need. I think what–

MARGARET BRENNAN: But you’re bringing it in from Europe right now.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Right. But that’s because. Again, we’ve got four companies making about 90% of the formula in this country which we should probably take a look at-

MARGARET BRENNAN: Is that monopoly?

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Yeah, I mean, it’s-it’s basically a series of monopolies that have added up into enormous market concentration. By the way, this is an issue the president has been talking about in area after area after area, whether we’re talking about fertilizer, whether we’re talking about other things in our agriculture sector–

MARGARET BRENNAN: There are contracts there too, because this is also part of- I’m using the term food stamp program-

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Right.

MARGARET BRENNAN: But it’s a part of a government assistance program.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Which is exactly why, again, from day one after the recall-.

MARGARET BRENNAN: This isn’t just a private sector problem is my point. The federal government is directly involved in some of these arrangements.

SECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: A plant shutting down because a company can’t assure that it is physically safe from contamination is the responsibility of the company. The responsibility of the regulator is to ensure, as they take steps to get it ready, that it will in fact be safe when it comes back online.

House Oversight Chair on Whether Feds Could Have Acted on Formula Sooner: ‘We Are Reacting Now’

1:41

On Friday’s “CNN Newsroom,” House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) responded to questions on whether the White House and the federal government could have acted on the baby formula shortage sooner by stating “the White House has come out with solutions.” And “we are reacting now.”

Co-host Alisyn Camerota asked, “Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says that the White House has basically been asleep at the switch on this. Could they have engaged sooner?”

Maloney responded, “Well, the White House has come out with solutions. They’re working now to import. They’re doing all kinds of things. Congress is responding. There will be a hearing, not in my committee, but in another committee next week. We have asked for a briefing by the end of the month. Our briefing will come from the private sector. I invite the Republicans to join us in trying to solve the problem. They can write their own letters. They can write their own — have their own investigations or join in ours, as we seek to get the product on the shelves for the families.”

Camerota followed up, “I think the point is that the Abbott recall was mid-February. We’re now in mid-May. So, wasn’t there something the federal government could have done sooner?”

Maloney responded, “Well, we are reacting now. We are reacting swiftly. The White House is totally engaged. The agencies are engaged. We’re working to find a solution and we invite the Republicans to join us in trying to find a solution.”
