[…] Robert: Nicely stated. Isn’t it just typical of Trump and of his supporters. Like you said, …an absolutely classic case of “the pot calling the kettle black.” Speaking of…Craig, King, et al: Once again, false equivalence is showing face. There is no way you can compare Trump’s current connection, former KKK member David Duke, still an active member of another white supremacist organization, NAAWP, with Hillary’s connection to Senator Byrd.

Please do an article about that racist Francis Scott Key who wrote that bigoted and hypocritical Star Spangled Banner. No one sings the third verse.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
—————————

In other words, Key was saying that the blood of all the former slaves and “hirelings” on the battlefield will wash away the pollution of the British invaders.

With Key still bitter that some black soldiers got the best of him a few weeks earlier, “The Star-Spangled Banner” is as much a patriotic song as it is a diss track to black people who had the audacity to fight for their freedom.

Perhaps that’s why it took almost 100 years for the song to become the national anthem.

Sorry I forgot to print the article. Here it is:

Boyfriend alleges ‘love poisoning’ in assault
Robert Q. Tupaz | Post News Staff Updated Aug 25, 2016
The magistrate’s complaint lists a slew of family violence cases filed this week in the Superior Court of Guam. The charges resulted from a couple of expected family gatherings turned sour and a love poisoning allegation.

In the first case filed this week, officers from the Guam Police Department responded to a Toto residence on Sunday.

The victim in the case reported that she had been assaulted by her boyfriend, identified as 37-year-old Robert Peredo Castro. According to the complaint, an officer met with the victim, who reported that Castro punched her in the face and struck her on her left thigh as a result of an argument.

According to the police report, the victim was talking with the defendant when he started accusing her of “love poisoning” him in an effort to explain why they were still together after “eight years.”

Hafa Adai: Michelle I hope you don’t mind if I change the subject for a moment. My friend said that she knows the woman who put a “love spell” on a man for money. She claims that the woman’s spells work. As proof she sent me this article where a man is angry with his girlfriend because he can’t leave her because of the “love spell” she put on him by giving him a “love portion” to drink.

Will someone on Guam please explain this report to me?

In my mind, it seems that the article starts with a man arguing with his girlfriend because she has given him a “love portion,” but from there it is an OOG (Only On Guam) sense of logic.
