Good afternoon, friends… How will the newest economic data play in the presidential race?
The unemployment rate shot up to 5.1% last month from 4.8%. That’s a

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King would never live to see his dream of racial
harmony realized.
In the four decades since Rev. King’s death, the gulf between black

Forty years ago today Martin Luther King was shot and killed. I was
just a baby, but everything about that day informed my childhood. I
was one of those four little children Dr. King dreamed would one day

I was standing in a copy store this afternoon when my cell phone
rang. It was Carolyn Jessop. “They raided the compound. It’s sealed
off. They went in there with an armored personnel carrier, Texas
Rangers, everything.”

made more than $100 million in six years. Some of the ways they’ve made
that money and some of the folks they’ve been in business with just may
surprise you.
We’ll also look at Senator Obama’s poll numbers. We’ll tell you
where he’s lost support and try to figure out if that si... Read More

Amy Holmes360 ContributorDoes Hillary really want to be making this comparison?"Dr. King didn't just give speeches. He marched, he organized, he protested, he was gassed, he was beaten, he was jailed," [Hillary Clinton] said, noting King had campaigned for Johnson because he recognized the need to elect a president who could enact civil rights into law. And because MLK had no other choic... Read More
